Barack Obama is a serious man. Yes, he likes to golf, and yes, he ran a campaign with cutesy Facebook pictures and seemingly inane Flash slideshows like “Life of Julia.” No, he does not seem interested in the mechanics of legislation, nor does he seem adept at negotiation. But the weird condescension his opponents display toward him is ludicrously wrongheaded. They seem eager to believe he is a lightweight, and he is not. Obama is very possibly a world-historical political figure, and until those who oppose him come to grips with this fact, they will get him wrong every time.

Obama makes Hitler look like a choirboy.
“No executive order, no legislation, simply have DHS buy up all the ammunition.”
So are people really unable to buy ammunition because there’s none available due to these DHS purchases?
History remembers people who changed the world for the bad as well as the good: Attila the Hun, Genghis Khan, Caligula, Nero, Stalin, Mao, Pol Pot, Ho Chi Minh, Che Guevara, Mao, Lenin, Hitler, Mussolini, Tojo, etc.
The magazine wasn't saying he'd likely be remembered as one of the "good guys," but possibly for bringing down the American Republic.
“So are people really unable to buy ammunition because there’s none available due to these DHS purchases?”
For almost anything but a shotgun, yes.
I have a 9mm, I can’t find ammo at any stores, I can find it on a classified site for much more than it’s normally worth.
The Pod is wrong as usual. The GOP are loaded with COWARDS who are afraid to be called racist. THAT is the problem.
0bama could go on TV for a “major policy announcement” naked with a feather duster up his ass, and he can get away with it because his lap-dog media will gush over how it was a very nice designer feather duster. That ought to be the real point of this article. Hell, I could be a flawless president if I had media and entertainment carrying my water 24/7.
That is very scary. Very. I don’t recognize my country at all anymore. Honestly.
Obama is backed by: almost all of the MSM; almost all of academia; almost all of the public school system; almost all of the mass entertainment industry; almost every international organization; all of organized labour; most “liberal” religious organizations, etc.
A more accurate way of putting it would be: Obama is the figurehead for an ideological movement, that has systematically taken over nearly all of the important opinion-formers in the country. Obama could spend all of his time on the golf course, or flying to expensive taxpayer-paid holidays, and still appear as “successful”.
Perplexing but true: Mitt Romney is on the glide path to the most easily secured nomination a Republican presidential candidate has ever had — while being one of the weakest major candidates either party has ever seen.
Hitler benefited from plain old dumb luck, the foolhardiness of his adversaries, and the advice of some people around him who were decidedly smarter than he.
However, Hitler suffered from that same dumb luck, foolhardiness of his adversaries (that worked out for them), and bad advice of some people around him that were dumber than he.
Obama is a puppet. He believes strongly in his leftist agenda, but he is controlled and manipulated by others. He still doesn’t know what is in obamacare, and he doesn’t care. He cares more about his march madness basketball brackets.
He and Biden are foolish little puppets.
John Podhoretz recognizes that Obama, while nothing close to the ‘genius’ his supporters claim, is clever and dangerous. I blame voter apathy, Republican cowardice and media influence for Obama’s ability to do so much damage and yet not be held accountable. Something we’ll all pay for, one way or another.
“He cares more about his march madness basketball brackets.”
And he’s incompetent at that, too. He picked Indiana.
Of course that change is 100% for the worse but that doesn't make it less real (greater government control, less freedom, driving the economy toward ruin, etc.). Obama may be merely a front man who lets others do all the heavy lifting but look at the results so far--Obamacare, massive increase in spending and debt, probable inevitability of amnesty and same-sex marriage. For some of these there will be no turning back regardless of who wins the 2016 election. If Hillary or another Democrat wins in 2016, there will definitely be no reversing of the damage Obama has wrought.
So, have companies stopped making ammo?
Well, I still recognize my family and my church. That to me is what is important. The country is important too, but in the end it is those two things that matter. Remember, we are only on this earth for a short time.
“So, have companies stopped making ammo?”
Nope. Eventually some ammo will make it to the public market. But as far as I know, the manufacturers are going fill tilt trying to fill DHS’s buy of nearly 2 billion rounds.
“Just consiider how the history and accomplishments of Lincoln, JFK and MLK have been inflated and how they have been pushed on the country.”
Did you forget FDR?
Ain’t it amazin’ how some folks keep sayin’ “It can’t happen in America” when it already has?
