The Obama of the plague narrative is a dreamer,a narcissist of little practical education and experience who sees the world in simple cartoonlike outlines and acts accordingly. Unable to imagine anything going wrong,incapable of either learning from past errors or responding to unforeseen demands. A man with no plan B. When things go south, he wanders off to the nearest golf course,leaving others to clean up.
..If this marks the end of the Obama presidency,as a number of observers have suggested,what comes next? We know that his mentality is that of a petulant child constantly striving for adult admiration. What happens when he is no longer able to attract attention? Will he then turn on the country as a whole,and do his best to damage what he cannot affect in any other way?
In truth,there doesnt seem much to worry about. Any such attempt by Obama would as inept and ineffectual as his previous efforts to transform the U.S.........Hes just a hopped-up community organizer,in over his head and scarcely even aware of it,fit for hugging nurses and explaining that he would do if he was going to do anything.
Its unlikely that Ebola will turn into a full-blown plague. For one thing,we have governors who can take over quarantine and security measures.....Its bad enough contemplating Ebola becoming endemic,as it is in Africa,popping up by mysterious means at irregular intervals. This is what happened with dengue in Texas,and is almost inevitable for immigrant-borne enteroviruses.
But it acts as a pure metaphor for the Age of Obama: failure, incompetence,willful negligence,dishonesty,the collapse of the elites,and utter indifference toward the public welfare. The Obama administration is now the chief victim of the plagues--prostrate,fevered,bleeding from all orifices,little more than a paralyzed bag of pus. It needs to be isolated and quarantined. God knows what would happen if it spread.

Congress, with their infusion of new Republican members (and the mandate sent to them by a fed-up electorate) must eradicate the disease of Obamaesque governance -- stop the spread of this crippling doctrine that is killing the country.

Obama of the plague narrative is a dreamer, Are they dreams or the hallucinations and delusions of a long term druggie?

When things go south, he wanders off to the nearest golf course,leaving others to clean up. But of course; Obama at his core is a Communist. Communism is a Utopian economic/political system where everything always goes just as planned, everyone is happy and have all they need.
Obama of course having supplied the perfect plan, any ensuing problems can not be his fault, so of course someone else should clean up the mess.

The author, Dunn, is naive. Obama will appoint as many marxists in “official” capacities as he can. Hiring will be based on following his beliefs. Even if we get a real conservative president it will impossible to fire them or root them all out. The damage Obama can do in the next two years is incalculable if he does it right. If he plays dead - okay. But, there are too many bureaucrats under federal payrolls to risk losing their job by defying his orders.

Will he then turn on the country as a whole,and do his best to damage what he cannot affect in any other way?This has been his modus operandi for the last 6 years. Why should we think he will do anything differently?

(Since all records of obama's past were lost in a tragic boating accident and fire, no one can be certain that the guy in the red circle isn't him...)
Post to me or FReep mail to be on/off the Bring Out Your Dead ping list.
The purpose of the Bring Out Your Dead ping list (formerly the Ebola ping list) is very early warning of emerging pandemics, as such it has a high false positive rate.
So far the false positive rate is 100%.
At some point we may well have a high mortality pandemic, and likely as not the Bring Out Your Dead threads will miss the beginning entirely.
*sigh* Such is life, and death...

"Ebola" is just one more excuse to continue destroying the U.S. economy and devaluing the dollar, by spending money we don't have !
The ILLEGAL ALIEN IN CHIEF wants ~ and is DIRECTING the policies that regulate ALL health care plansin the United States ~
TO FAIL ! NEVER FORGET THAT !
Many of us have said for many years that
Obama is doing this INTENTIONALLY. He using the old Soviet Plan from 1934 or earlier.
Only idiots and the evil voted for Obama, or ANY of the Democrats.
AND NOW, WE CAN ADD
"Establishment Republicans" TO THAT LIST, ALSO!
They've lied to us, constantly, and really are
"Collapsing the System". And now, these "Useful IDIOTS" who voted for them, are buying the lies that "Obamacare was designed to work." ?
It was designed to fail from the start.
THEN ... THEY GO TO THE
"SINGLE-PAYER SYSTEM".
They've been sucking our wallets dry for over four years now on the "Obamacare" LIE.
AND NOW THEY WANT MORE TAXES ?
Our Founding Fathers would have hung them already!
Lets review:
Who was it that cut future funding for Medicare by $575 billion?
...the president and the Democratic Party successfully bamboozle voters... The 2012 election could turn on this falsehood.
The truth is that the Obama health law reduces future funding for Medicare by $575 billion over the next 10 years ...
Mr. Obama and Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius frequently make that false claim.
Indeed, even Medicare's mailings to seniors repeat the claim
that reducing spending on Medicare will make it more financially secure for future years.
The fact is that Mr. Obama's law raids Medicare.
Who was it that moved Medicare Trust Funds out of the "trust box" and into the General Revenue, replacing them with Government I.O.U.s?
Who was it that expanded Medicare and Medicaid to cover many, many more people than it was originally designed to cover?
The History of Medicare
In 1965, the Social Security Act established both Medicare and Medicaid. Medicare was a responsibility of the Social Security Administration (SSA), while Federal assistance to the State Medicaid programs was administered by the Social and Rehabilitation Service (SRS). SSA and SRS were agencies in the Department of Health, Education, and Welfare (HEW). In 1977, the Health Care Financing Administration was created under HEW to effectively coordinate Medicare and Medicaid. In 1980 HEW was divided into the Department of Education and the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS).
The first U.S. President to propose a prepaid health insurance plan was Harry S. Truman [DEMOCRAT]. On November 19, 1945, in a special message to Congress, President Truman outlined a comprehensive, prepaid medical insurance plan for all people through the Social Security system. The plan included doctors and hospitals, and nursing, laboratory, and dental services; it was dubbed "National Health Insurance." Furthermore, medical insurance benefits for needy people were to be financed from Federal revenues.
Over the years, lawmakers narrowed the field of health insurance recipients largely to social security beneficiaries. A national survey found that only 56 percent of those 65 years of age or older had health insurance. President John F. Kennedy [DEMOCRAT] pressed legislators for health insurance for the aged. However, it wasn't until 1965 that President Lyndon B. Johnson signed H.R. 6675 (The Social Security Act of 1965; PL 89-97) to provide health insurance for the elderly and the poor.
On July 30, 1965, President Johnson signed the Medicare and Medicaid Bill (Title XVIII and Title XIX of the Social Security Act) in Independence, Missouri in the presence of former President Truman, who received the first Medicare card at the ceremony; Lady Bird Johnson, Vice-President Hubert Humphrey, and Mrs. Truman also were present. President Johnson remarked: "We marvel not simply at the passage of this Bill but that it took so many years to pass it."
Medicare extended health coverage to almost all Americans aged 65 or older. About 19 million beneficiaries enrolled in Medicare in the first year of the program. Medicaid provided access to health care services for certain low-income persons and expanded the existing Federal-State welfare structure that assisted the poor.
The 1972 Social Security Amendments expanded Medicare to provide coverage to two additional high risk groups disabled persons receiving cash benefits for 24 months under the social security program and persons suffering from end-stage renal disease.
...(continued at link)
So Democrats,
Sen Mark Kirk's
statement Thursday, Dec 1, 2011 ...
"There are 55 million Social Security beneficiaries that will see little or no extra cash from this 2012 tax holiday;
instead, the dedicated payroll contributions meant to pay for future benefits are being diverted from the Trust Fund
and replaced with Treasury debt that does not even have a AAA credit rating.
Social Security was designed to be independent and free from the danger of Congressional manipulation,
and maintaining the firewall between the Social Security Trust Fund and general government funding is the best way to maintain the solvency of this important program.
Neither bill protects the Social Security Trust Fund
so I voted no. "
It's not our fault that
DEMOCRATS raided the Social Security Trust Fund. Let's remember ...
Not ALL are to blame for the empty lock box.
It's the Democrats Communists.
Let's take a deeper look.
Okay, then the DEMOCRATS need to shut up!!!

The above pretty much summarizes the Obola doctrine.
