Obama Selling Illusions

Obama addressing Marine Corp

Taking a short break from his daily golfology program, Obama's principal statement in his address to the Marine Corps base was,  "Because of the extraordinary service of the men and women in the American armed forces, Afghanistan has a chance to rebuild its own country. .... We are safer. It's not going to be a source of terrorist attacks again. .... The world is better, it's safer, it's more peaceful, it's more prosperous."

He plays to the immediate audience of dedicated military personnel and pretends to praise them, so how could anyone think he didn't really mean the rest of what he said?   Surely the American people automatically accept whatever follows a pat-on-the-back of their military service men and women. Hopefully, not any longer.  Therein lies the insidious nature of this President's addresses to his public. He uses plucking at heart-strings of a generous Nation to deliver his real message.

He has not demonstrated respect for America's military and has in fact resented it, and apologized for it to the point where only 15% support their CIC.  Pandering to his supporters he asserts that "We are safer" and the world is "peaceful."  How?  Where?  The world is in turmoil.  America is in turmoil.  The Middle East is ablaze. The Obama broadcast hightailing strategy out of Iraq has encouraged chaos and slaughter throughout that country.  ISIS buries whole villages alive, when it isn't busy beheading children and recording some of the worse atrocities ever perpetrated on innocents in history.   Iran has been negotiated right into nuclear powerdom. Syria is no longer a country.

Obama Selling Illusions

So what else is new? Tell us something we DON'T know.

Obama's goods and services are for the simple and gullible of which there are too many.

Get ready... When he says it is not going to be a source of terrorist attacks you can believe it as much mas when he said “if you like your plan you can keep it”

We are no longer divided, we are uniformly polarized.

We have doubled the distance our cars will go on a gallon of gas.

Fast and Furious began under the Bush administration.I didn't raise taxes once.
