Chief Architect and Epitome of a Demagogue.

Absolutely no one, could have described this President more accurately. This is a brief summary that articulates the man, his life and his goals perfectly! And no, this is not something I alone can take credit for. This post was inspired via a letter written by Maureen Scott. The essence of Maureen Scott's letter and my comments follow, though not always in that order. Why am I sharing this in a blog post? Like Ms. Scott, I share out of concern for this nation and my disapproval of America’s Chief Executive and for his lack of leadership in these trying times. As Maureen Scott so aptly put it; Obama is The Architect of Destruction.

"Barack Obama appears to be a tormented man filled with resentment, anger, and disdain for anyone of an opinion or view other than his. He acts in the most hateful, spiteful, malevolent, vindictive ways in order to manipulate and maintain power and control over others. Perhaps, because, as a child, he grew up harboring an abiding bitterness toward the U.S. That was instilled in him by his family and mentors…it seems to have never left him. It is not the color of his skin that is a problem in America. Rather it is the blackness that fills his soul and the hollowness in his heart where there should be abiding pride and love for this country."

Think hard if you will: Have we the people ever heard Obama speak devotedly of America or its people, with profound indebtedness and sincere veneration for our past, our traditions, our sorrows and our blessings? Has he ever revealed that, like most patriotic Americans, he is stirred when a band plays "The Star Spangled Banner", (no, he is stirred when he hears the ''Muslim call to prayer.") or sheds a tear when he hears "America the Beautiful?" Does his spirit burst with pride when a multitude of American flags are displayed on a National holiday or when someone play "taps" in honor of those who sacrificed their all in the service of America? Has he ever shared the appreciation of the Armed Services, as we who appreciate those who keep us free, feel when soldiers in uniform walk by? It is doubtful because Obama did not grow up sharing our experiences or our values. 

Away from this country as a young child, Obama did not delight in being part of America and its greatness. He was not singing our patriotic songs in early childhood, or standing alongside the street for a holiday parade or watching July 4th fireworks, or placing flags on the grave sites of fallen American heroes. Rather he was separated from all of these experiences and does not really understand us and what it means to be an American. “He is void of the basic emotions that most feel regarding this country and insensitive to the instinctive pride we have in our national heritage. His opinions were formed by those who either envied us or wanted him to devalue the United States and the traditions and patriotism that unites us. He has never given a speech that is filled with calm, reassuring, complimentary, heartfelt statements about all the people in the U.S. or one that inspires us to be better and grateful and proud that in a short time our country became a leader, and a protector of many.”

 To the contrary, his speeches most always relapse into derision, contemptuous tirades as he faults our accomplishments as well as any detractors or opposition for the sake of a snicker, or to enhance his ego. He uses his Office to threaten and create fear while disparaging and demeaning any American who contests his strategies and exploits. A secure leader, who has noble self-esteem and not false confidence, refrains from displaying such trepidation of critics and displaying a smug, arrogant mindset.
