Obama Drama

 There has been some, well, quite a bit, of post-mortems by the Democratic Party about their presidential and Senate losses. For me, not a little bit of it falls on Barak Obama. 

I was never a fan. Like many, I did appreciate that our country proved it could elect a nonwhite person (well, partly) for the highest office. On the other hand, the man's arrogance was quite astounding.  The very fact that he ran for president as a first-term senator was pretty astounding. 

First, he insulted John McCain publicly. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CXudI0ibo-k 

Second, his tag line was "We will fundamentally transform America." Has that ever been dissected? Who the h--- did he think he was that he would do that?  that he could, or should? As a pundit I listened to this morning said, that is not out of love for country; it is lust for power; it is a form of oppression. Anyone who thinks the country should be fundamentally transformed does not need to be the leader of the country; they don't even appreciate what the country is. But he, like Kamala Harris, spent his formative years in another country.

Third, his line "I have a pen and a phone and I am going to use them" to deal with immigration (although in his defense, our immigration problem are largely due to a do-nothing Congress).

Fourth, his telling Mark Warren he opposed same-sex marriage and then pushing for it as soon as elected.  (This one lies at the feet of the Supreme Court as well as those who redefined marriage over the years as purely a legal contract rather than a societal responsibility.)

Fifth, his telling black male voters to vote for Kamala by shaming them about their manhood. 

This sounds pretty right-wing, I know.  Do not take it to me I'm a Trumper. No, thank you. But he won't try to change us at our core to fit his agenda. We know that because he had the chance before and didn't take it.  As Jonah Goldberg says, if he were Hitler, he would have repealed Obamacare.
