A Speech Vs. Four Years Experience

Following his speech @ the Memorial Service on January 12 @ the University of Arizona for the people murdered in Tuscan the previous Saturday @ Congresswoman Giffords's Congress On The Corner public meeting BO's approval rating shot up from the low 40s to 54% - how absolutely pitiful for America & our future. How can so many mindless Independents & Conservatives counterbalance one speech with two years of governing against every principle this nation was founded upon - not to mention two years of campaigning before that where BO told anyone who really listened just what he intended to do - & then did? This shows how easily tricked & brainwashed the government schooled populace is.

Discounting that the Memorial Service had not one religious figure participating & was held in an atmosphere as if it were a pre-game college pep rally the hard core Statists in America most notably @ the Washington Post & MSNBC have ignored BO's call for civility as if it did not apply to them as they continue their attacks on Sarah Palin (the most dangerous person in the world to them for obvious reasons), Michele Bachman, talk radio, & FNC.

Readers of the Alinsky method text Rules For Radicals know that BO is merely calling on all of his Community Organizer skills from this book for "working in the system" - doing what he doesn't like to do to gain his advantage. In the case of the tragic Tuscan shootings BO is organizing people around something they agree upon - namely the horror of the murders. As the organizer BO must get inside their experience & become one of them & then push the enemy (middle class American people) to live up to our own book on morality & regulations. The approval rating spike shows he is far on his way to succeeding.

Laura Ingraham summed this matter up perfectly when Bill O'Reilly wrote on his blog that Laura contended columnists are spending far too much time critiquing Obama's performance. "I'm really uncomfortable with grading the President's speech when we have six people dead," Laura said. "What I think is most relevant is what is happening to our country. We have had an attempt by many who are friends & boosters of the President to vilify & denigrate patriotic Americans & connect them to the acts of a deranged man. I found that appalling & outrageous, & I believe the President could have done a lot more from the beginning to push back against those people." Laura also criticized the pep rally-like atmosphere @ the Memorial Service. "Solemnity was required, but there were t-shirts printed up & you had the president of the university introducing Obama like it's the kickoff of the 2012 campaign. It was a campaign rally!"
