The election was not a close race. Mr. Obama won the popular vote by 7.27% and Electoral College by 35.5%.  He still enjoys 49-50 percent popularity.  However, credibility is slipping and a few more broken promises will increase his impotence. Any intelligent human observing the biggest budget in U.S. history submitted; followed closely by a verbal and public plea to Congress, “We need to stop spending” , as a blatant and arrogant transference of irresponsibility.

The honeymoon is most definitely over and leopard spots are revealing themselves, to the shame of our Commander-in-Chief. All bets are off, but the same Presidential election race held today would show a significantly closer margin between the two candidates, due to the President's real agenda revealing itself.

The American People are tired of hidden agendas and of their elected officials doing the exact opposite of their promised behavior. It is to Mr. Obama’s misfortune (and the world’s) at loss in credibility due to lack of willingness to give up secret agendas and actually make effort at fulfillment of a promise.

We are at the bottom of the rabbit hole of negativity, you say? O Contraire, Mon ami. The rabbit hole descends indefinitely and infinitely to an eternally dark abyss. It could be worse. We could be subjects of Borneo, whose military serves the sole purpose of citizen oppression. 

At least United States citizens still have the inalienable First Amendment right to freedom of expression. Regardless, if our President has his way, Congress will enact legislation countermanding the recent Supreme Court decision reinforcing these rights.

Obama did a great job of being a wolf in sheep’s clothing. The costume is now removed, however, for any brain in possession of any more than one micro ampere electro connectivity in one’s synapse. 

One of our Presidents promised a “chicken in every pot”. Reality demands truth revelation that chickens wind up boiling in pots through effort of chicken cookers, and not our President.

This man cooked his own goose, and that of his nation. Even if he becomes penitent and turns his back on two-faced politics, (one plan implemented behind closed doors and the false plan orated to America) non status prisoners will still be held illegally and immorally, innumerable masses of troops will continue serving the middle east, bank credit will continue to tighten through huge conglomerations gaining yet more control over financial markets through usurious lending policies, and unemployment will spiral geometrically further and faster through the cataclysmic, inky abyss. 

The worst news is that when the grim reaper calls for payback on the trillion-plus debt debacle, there will be no revenue with which to pay. Justification for release of billions to the banks is $2 trillion projected tax revenue shortfall for failure to act. (Of which 67 cents on the dollar is expected to be returned to government.) 

Calculations conveniently did not incorporate predicted shortfall figures as a result of what banks actually did with the money. That is, swallow up smaller institutions with purpose of increasing profitability through more stringent lending policy.   

Yet, as bankers’ chicken-little to gullible Senators, “Congress will cease to exist without a bailout.” Sorry should have been said before releasing all that money. The paradigm shift of CEO belief in taxpayer-provided Lear jets must swing in reverse or we can look forward to Chinese as our new national language.
