For Obama to stand up and say that he would or will protest with the unions is frankly a little shocking in the light of him constantly TALKING about civility and trying to get along. All the while he is doing the only thing he knows how to do... community organizing which means stirring the pot, causing as much discontent as possible and setting people against each other.
Well did the devil learn his lesson from Jesus. Jesus said a house divided against itself cannot stand. He said this indicating that if he were the devil he could not be casting out demons, because a house divided against itself cannot stand. The devil understands this too and as such those who serve seek every opportunity to turn people against each other. This is the only path to power unless you want to take the path Jesus offered which was that of being a servant. This is clearly a path that Obama can never take. I have little doubt that in Obama's mind all he would be able to hear in that statement is SLAVE instead of servant, and this is something he will NEVER be!
Obama never sees service as truly valuable unless it is being offered to him. If it is not being offered to him I believe he only views that this is so because no recognizes that he is superior and worse they must be racist. It is not that he is offended that they don't see him as an equal it is that he is offended that they don't see him as superior.
I do not believe that Obama can ever truly understand the difference between leadership and ruling. In his mind they are the same. He does not understand that the key part of leadership is LEADING... this means that you go first and show others the way. In ruling you tell others where to go while you sit on your duff. We should not only question whether Obama is leading us, but also where he is leading us. Obama and too many of our leaders seem to be of the group that believes we need to be more socialist or communist in our world view. I still do not understand this mindset as it is certain that if they wish to live in a communist or socialist nation there are already plenty to choose from There is no need to turn this nation into one to live under such a SUPERIOR form of government.
For some reason it just feels unseemly for the president to get involved with riots, sitins, and protests. It puts him back on level as one of the masses with no power to change things only to implore the government. I find this absurd when you are talking about the POTUS. He is the most powerful man in the entire world and if we cannot do something then there is little that could be done by anyone else. For the president to even state that he would be out with the protesters is completely out of place. I understand he is trying to come across like one of the little people but he is not one of the little people.
As well as lowering the office of the presidency by doing this he is also stirring the pot to create more unrest and pit people against each other. Of course this is about what I would expect from a man with no real experience in power only in community organizing. It is shameful. It is sometimes hard to take the president seriously the way he inserts himself into situations.
There was no reason for the president to become involved in that situation with the black professor and the officer. It was certainly not something that needed presidential attention. But to make matters worse he went on to say that he "really didn't know anything about the situation, but the officer acted stupidly." Who was the one that was actually acting stupidly? Why did he do that? I believe it is because he is so attached to the race issue that he simply can't leave any issue regarding race alone no matter how minor that situation might be. Think how petty this makes him.
The president also seems almost pleased with himself that these protests are now spreading across the nation. The sad thing is that they are beng so misrepresented. They are being represented as protests for "worker's rights" or as protests for "union rights". Neither of these things is true. They are only aimed at the public unions. They do nothing toward the private unions at all. At least in my mind this makes good sense. There is a great problem with public worker unions. As Limbaugh points out so well it is basically a money laundering scheme. This cannot be emphasized enough. Consider, the people in the unions get their money from the government (read our taxes), the government gives them our money for pay, they give large sums of that money in dues to union leaders who then donate it back to the very representatives who allocated it.
What is the difference between this and the representatives simply allocating that money for themselves to start with? Is that what our taxes are for? Are our taxes ever supposed to go to support election campaigns for representatives? The answer is definitely NO. But our wonderful non-representing representatives have found a way to do that anyway and make it appear to be legal. This cannot be legal and is yet another thing that ought to be investigated. Thi ssame thing happened with the bail out of GM. The union got billions of dollars of which it then donated back to the representatives as a thank you for what they did.
If it weren't so serious it would be comical that unions have the gall to call their jobs middle class. Many of the people in public sector union jobs are making close to 140,000.00 per year. This is certainly not what I would consider middle class. They are managing to keep everyone cowed into silence about calling those jobs just what they are, greatly overpaid positions. We could hire 2 people for ever one we have now and they'd still be making a better living than the average (middle class) citizens.
It is time for some outrage on the part of the good people of this nation. Not violence mind you but certainly an outspoken outrage about what is going on. I don't mean just in the streets during a protest. I mean that people of good conscience should start speaking about these things in their local coffee shops and bars. Too often we are afraid to do anything but speak these things in whispers and we should be happy to speak what is merely common sense about these issues.
