Are We Being Deceived?

With respect to the current administration, I have tried hard not to attack personally the President or any of his administration officials. I still want to reframe from doing so. I feel his policies are fair game and my right and duty to interject my opinion, whether positive or negative, are maintained. Recently, I was asked by a colleague to describe with the one word that best defines the President. Instantly, I replied: “Counterfeit”.

Counterfeit? Yes, Counterfeit. Now I have to explain and here are the things that trouble me about the President which forms the basis of my assertion that the President is not what he and his supporters would have us believe:

The President has been touted as an intellectual constitutional scholar. Yet, he continually circumvents the constitution by unilaterally implementing policies to achieve results for which he does not possess the constitutional authority, and mostly for political reasons. Now, this either means he is not the constitutional scholar that he is promoted as being, or he is knowingly in violation of the oath he swore to protect and defend the constitution. I believe the President sees the US Constitution as an obstacle rather than a revered document designed to protect the people and the states from federal government intrusion into our lives and freedoms.

Mr. Obama has been aligned with a number of radical extremists who do not care for America and its capitalism ways. It is clear that for much of his early life, he was exposed to socialist if not Marxist and communist influences that helped to shape his vision of how the county should be governed.  It is not hard to see that those influences are imbedded in his governing style. This is perhaps one of the more frightening elements of the Obama back ground as he appears to be guiding this county toward the socialist government controlled economy similar to those in Europe or perhaps even further east.

This is a man who is touted to have received the best education opportunities available to anyone, who has lived a lavish lifestyle in upscale housing with no discernible means to have paid for any of it. He is reported to have received foreign student aid which is still not explained. He did not grow up in the United States whether he was born here or not.  He spent a great deal of the formative years of his youth outside the U.S. which makes him foreign to the  American culture and sensitive to the other cultures in which he was exposed such as Islam and socialism.

We are told of all of his accomplishments academically, yet all of his academic records are sealed. I cannot believe this is acceptable to the media or the general public. What are they afraid we will learn? Remember in his own words from his book; Dreams of My Father, “I chose my friends carefully: the more politically active black students, the foreign students, the Chicanos, the Marxist Professors and structural feminists and punk-rock performance poets." What records exist from the entire body of work throughout his entire academic pursuits that they do not want us to know about. I suggest that one need only look to the quote above for a clear window into his thought process at the time. Then the question becomes, have his philosophical views changed from those years or is he pretending that they have in order achieve political success.

This is a man who promoted openly the desire to crush energy providers such as the conventional electric and coal industry. He believes that electricity prices should increase substantially regardless of the suffering this would impose on the American people who are struggling now. His policies are accomplishing this as the coal industry is in retraction as plants are being shuttered and jobs are being lost. Also, Federal lands are off limits to drillers who can create jobs.  The EPA has the Natural gas industry under attack. All the while, the president is providing huge amounts of taxpayer dollars to solar and wind energy companies that cannot otherwise provide its energy without taxpayer subsidies.  There is only reason to do this, more government control and dependency.

While I could go on with similar arguments on many other subject such as healthcare reform, time and space will not allow. It is clear to me that the secrecy surrounding the President’s past from birth records to sealed records from nearly every part of his early life can only suggest one thing.  That the records are sequestered  in order to conceal who and what the President really is. That suggests "Counterfeit".

Anyone but Obama.  I now agree.
