After all, He, Obama, is The One, and The One is right, The One is all-knowing, and The One and should have his way.
Certainly, the President has already achieved his dream of not having to answer to a free and curious news media, as all the major leftist news organs who dominate this nation's media long ago dove into the Obama tank of Kool-aid and have been swimming around in it with blank, timid smiles on their faces ever since.
The lone exception to this happy circumstance for The One came on Thursday, when Fox News anchor Brett Baier conducted the first legitimate media interview the President has ever been subjected to in his entire political life. Baier was everything a real news reporter is supposed to be: He asked tough questions, he followed up when the President obfuscated or tried to shift focus, he interrupted when the President tried to filibuster, he repeated questions Mr. Obama tried to avoid until the President was forced to give something resembling a real answer or admit he had no idea what the answer was.
In other words, unlike every other member of the nation’s news media who has interviewed the President since he became a candidate back in 2007, Baier conducted himself like a real news reporter who had attended a real journalism school. Sadly, he will almost certainly remain the lone exception to rule in today’s lapdog media, and the President will almost certainly never take another interview on the Fox News Channel.
So the major media having long been completely co-opted to tell the Obama tale the way The One wants it told, the President was left only to find a way to circumvent the Constitution and the legislative process it envisions. That desire was satisfied for The One by one Louise Slaughter, the Chairman of the House Rules Committee, who last week presented The One with the now famous “deem and pass” solution to his quandary. This would allow members of the House who are reluctant to vote in favor of the atrocity of a bill the Senate passed last December to “deem” it having passed without having to actually vote on it.
But that wasn’t all – the President and his gang of Chicago thugs helped move the Democrat Party’s fake “deficit hawks” along by strong-arming the Congressional Budget Office to issue a fake score on the bill that pretends to show it actually cuts the deficit! No one really believes that to be the case, of course – I mean, if they did, why not just multiply every provision in the bill by, say 8, and thus cut the deficit 8 times more than it already does? – but the fake score allowed fake “conservative” Democrats to claim to their constituents back home that they voted for the bill on the grounds that it is fiscally responsible. Oh wait, silly me – I just said “voted”. Obviously, that’s wrong, since they’re not “voting” on the bill at all.
See how elegant this all is? The One has, through all this procedural chicanery, essentially installed himself as the nation’s de facto dictator, with Nancy Pelosi and Harry Reid serving as his congressional enablers. If he can get healthcare nationalization done without a real congressional vote, who is to say he can’t do the same with cap and trade, amnesty for illegal immigrants, and anything else on his radical fascist agenda?
Of course, the problem The One now faces is that his term as de facto dictator expires this November, when Republicans will make huge gains in congress as a direct result of the extra-constitutional actions he has taken during his first year in office. That is, of course, unless The One and his gang of Chicago thugs figure out a way to subvert the electoral process in the same way they’ve subverted the legislative process.
Don’t kid yourself into thinking that those efforts are not already underway.
