Now that the White House faces a quarantine ever since President Obama, apparently, contracted a severe case of the Joe Biden Foot-In-Mouth disease, there is a more basic observation which the State Run Media has failed to discover.
President Obama made the judgment that, while not knowing the facts surrounding his friend Professor Gate's arrest, the Cambridge Police Department acted "Stupidly" and used "Racial Profiling" in Professor Gate's case, stating at one point that, "Race remains a factor in our society." He has, since backed away from these comments.
These, thoughtless, statements have implications far beyond Obama's assertions that the Cambridge Police Department is "stupid" and racially profiles individuals, it goes directly to the heart of President Obama's perception of the political process. Virtually all of his actions are the product of faulty reverse engineering.
He, first, makes broad and sweeping promises and then, when the fulfillment of these promises becomes impractical or impossible, he backpedals. First he was going to close Guantanamo Bay within the first year of his term. Now, not so much. Then he was going to release the harsh interrogation photographs. Now, not so much. Then he promised that, if his stimulus package was passed, national unemployment would not rise above 8%, that was 2 percentage points ago. He twisted arms in the House Of Lemmings and now we are faced with the possibility of Cap And Trade (AKA Cap And Trick) legislation. An energy tax which will drive the price of carbon based energy so high that food, heat, water and virtually everything that relies on carbon based energy for the manufacture or transportation of a product, will be OUT OF REACH for most of us. Once again, as with the Cambridge Police Department, his philosophy is "Act now and worry about the repercussions and details later."
Now, we are confronted by another one of Obama's follies, a health care bill which is so full of problems that it should take the rest of Obama's term just to fix it. However, President Obama wants it passed NOW, without delay and, by his own admission, he hasn't even read the bill and doesn't know any of it's details. Details such as a requirement, on page 425, that when someone attains the age of 65, they will be counseled, every five years, to consider the possibility of ending their own life.
National Health Care has been an abysmal failure in both Great Britain and Canada, as people are waiting on lists for medical treatment, some of which will die while waiting. There is no expectation that a national health care plan will work any better here.
The Obama/Cambridge Police Department flap is merely the, most recent, example in a series of episodes regarding President Obama's impetuousness. An impetuous nature that I defined in my post of May 16, 2009.
This contagion is something that Barack Obama and Joe Biden share. The only difference being that President Obama's shoe has a bit more polish on it when he places it, unceremoniously, in his own mouth.
