Our adoring media and uninformed public have elevated Obama to a status rivaling sainthood. So much so that a thoughtful writer analyzed the parallel between Obama's rise to power and prominence to that of tyrant Juan Peron's ascendance in Argentina, right down to the similarity of Michelle Obama and Eva Peron - both wives aloof, vaguely arrogant personalities with a chip on their shoulders. When the voters elected Obama, Mama Obama said she was proud of her country for the first time in her life. Both Peron and Obama have a neo-Marxist philosophy and both immediately acted to nationalize private companies and moved to create a dependent class of ignorant citizens through erosion of individuality, welfare, entitlement programs, and redistribution of wealth. That is, redistribution of wealth for everyone except the ruling class, of course, and special interest groups such as the unions, lawyers, and environmental groups. However, there is at least one major difference between these two despotic regimes. Juan Peron never traveled the world denigrating his country and apologizing for past offenses in front of foreigners in an effort to ingratiate himself personally. Totalitarian dictator that he was, Peron always sang the praises of his home country. Obama, having studied at the feet of anti-Americans Jeremiah Wright and domestic terrorist bombers Bernadine Dorn and William Ayers, rarely misses a chance to trash his country.
