Transformation of America

Commenting on the speaking styles of various leaders, a linguist said that the smooth-talking Obama can deliver a long answer to a question that is filled with nice-sounding sentences full of beautiful words, yet, after he finishes, one has no idea what he said. On the other hand, George Bush would fumble words and scramble syntax while answering a question and the listener know exactly what he was saying. Obama makes up the facts as he goes along, never having heard of Patrick Moynihan's (the last honest Democrat politician) quote: "Everyone is entitled to his own opinions, but not his own facts." President Slickster generally limits his blatant lies, but has a way with deflecting the questions, responding off the topic, and saying nothing. During his MidEast visit, in response to his position on Iran's getting a nuclear weapon, he said he is "not reconciled to the idea of Iran obtaining a nuclear weapon within a year." Responding to a question about the Iranian street protesters' practically begging for America's support after their rigged election, he said, "It's not productive, given the history of U.S.-Iranian relations, to be seen as meddling," His adoring public and press allowed him to get by with presenting this non-sequitir as a position. Given that he had vowed to close Gitmo during the campaign, a questioner asked whether he recommended keeping terrorist prisoners there. He responded with another non-sequitir as follows: "indefinite detentions give me huge pause." The man is a weak, pacifist, non-leader who is incapable of taking a definite position on anything except his objective of turning the country into a socialist, government run society. In fact, he has had great success in that regard, having transformed America in only six months. A foreign newspaper commented that, with the advent of Obama, the America that the world has always known is gone. The government now pacifies and placates its enemies such as Iran and pressures its allies such as Israel. That paper has no idea how poignant is that statement, because, as an outsider, it cannot know the full extent of which the Obama crowd has taken us.
