The end of “Hope and Change”?

by AlexinCT

Looks like some in the MSM might be turning on the messiah as this See-BS article by Benjamin Domenech dealing with the anger caused over the current government healthcare takeover by the left shows. My favorite observation by the author was:

Such crumbling popularity would give any politician pause, especially one who has spent most of his political career appearing before cheering crowds who proclaim trust, optimism, and hope for him. Obama’s dedication to passing this spectacularly flawed and unpopular health care bill appears to be based on the assumption that the American people like a winner even if the victory comes at their expense.

Seriously, at this point one has to wonder what is motivating the demcorats. Is it just ego and their idiotic presumption that if they pass this they will be seen as winners, even as the author points out the American people will be screwed over by that, or is it something else? Is it that fundamental change of America that Obama promised? He destroys what made the country exceptional and basically creates a two tiered collectivist shit-hole, with the elite living large and the rest of us being peons at the mercy of the all encompassing state? WTF?

As the dangerous outcomes of this plan become apparent, Obama may well come to regret this moment when he chose political expediency over what’s right for the nation. When historians judge this presidency they may well point to this moment as signaling the end of Obama’s cotton candy storyline of “the people vs. the powerful,” the rhetoric that once drove to his side multitudes of people fed up with the ways of Washington, the lies, kickbacks, shady backroom deals, and lack of transparency.

Obama is hoping to be remembered like FDR. Methinks that if the demcorats pull this off and somehow this costly and unconstitutional power grab by the federal government isn’t reversed in the near future, when the country ends up just another collectivist shithole like the ones falling apart over in Europe right now, he will be remembered more like another enemy of the American people. He will have a legacy, but it will be exactly the opposite of what he was hoping for. He will probably be remembered as one of the worst presidents ever. I am not even going to bother discussing how bad it will look that the first real black American president will be considered amongst the most disastrous ones, if not outright the worst, in our history.

Once, they trusted and hoped in his ability to achieve change. Now the American people know whose side he’s on.

Heh, only idiots trusted or believed anything this guy said based on his actions, experience, education, friends, and those few beliefs he wasn’t careful enough to hide. I was baffled at the comparison with Reagan that was trotted out to explain his popularity. I saw Reagan, and heard him speak. Reagan never doubted the greatness of this country and never felt obligated to either remake it or to spread the wealth. Other than to stop government from robbing the people to fuel it’s incessant growth, and to change our awareness of the Soviet menace, Reagan consentaneously talked about American exceptionally. This country was great. We just needed to get government out of the way of the people to make it greater. Obama stands for the exact opposite of any of that. He believes the same ideological crap the soviets did, he thinks America is unjust and wants to spread the wealth. He may talk a mean talk occasionally, but he gives away his real beliefs and plan in his actions. Case in point this horribly unpopular healthcare takeover by his government that he is pushing for.

No, Obama promised change, and he is delivering that. When he mentioned hope though, I believe he meant he hoped nobody would realize what kind of change he wanted until it was way, way too late to stop him from destroying the country and in its place prop up a two-bit leftists European-like has been. I hope we can yet stop his changes.
