After taking in the news of today. The news is not the news. The news is the President, a constitutional lawyer, doing a Pearl Harbor-type attack on the U.S. Constitution, today firing the head of a company because he didn’t like the way he was running it. They weren’t making the right kind of products that Obama wants them to make. That’s what he said. And it didn’t stop there.

He also said he is putting some of his economic advisers (none of whom have ever run a business, the President included) on the board to work with GM’s board to decide which new cars and technologies they should be making. Then, in the same sentence he says it is not the government’s intent to run the company.

What GM’s CEO Rick Wagoner should have said was, with all due respect Mr. President I don’t work for you. And your advisers are not welcome to ‘help’ us change our company. We, with the help of a free market and a timely bankruptcy, will get out of this. You will have to bring the National Guard to occupy our company while we stand to protect our rights. Thank you very much.

I’m still in shock over what he did and said today. It hits me like a Constitutional Pearl Harbor. Not only ignoring it, which he swore to defend and protect, but re-writing it into his administration.

Shocked but not surprised. During the campaign, the Barack Obama that I and others were saying would be a danger to this country, by reshaping it into his version of socialism, came out of the closet today.

Everything President Obama has done these last 66 days has been dedicated to a re-tooling of freedom and the free-market economy with a move to government controlled health care, banking, and now the auto industry.

The Obama we are seeing today is the real Barack Obama. If you want to see what this means, force yourself to read about what his campaign and his willing accomplices in the media did not want you to know about. Because if you did, Hillary might have been the President instead of Barack.

I would call it detailed and specific of Obama’s past. Of course others will call it an attack.

Here is a sample from The Real Barack Obama. It is a ‘must read’ in order to make any sense to what we are seeing going on in Washington today.

This tape would have ended his run if it had been released before the Democratic National Convention.

The job of the President of the United States consists of only two tasks. To protect and defend its people, and to protect and defend the U.S. Constitution. After you listen to this radio interview that Obama gave in 2001 to an NPR interviewer, you’ll have to ask yourself how this man could even put his and on the bible and take the oath. It is obvious that he feels the founding fathers erred in the creation of this country and its Constitution. And in this interview, he explores ways to fundamentally change it. Not protect it.

On day 62 of the Obama Administration, already it is a matter of trust.  In no more time than it takes to make a u-turn in an American made V-8 gas guzzling SUV, one can write the Cliff Notes of the Obama Administration’s first 62 days.

On the campaign trail, he promised an open administration. Where the people could read proposed legislation on the internet no less than 10 days before it would be voted on.

From Washington, through fear, doom and gloom, and to prevent an ‘economic catastrophe,’ the President pressed the American people and Congress for the urgent passage of the largest spending bill in world history before anyone could know what was in it. It included a re-tooling of freedom and the free-market economy with a move to government controlled nationalized health care. No debate. No nothing.

On the campaign trail, he promised there would be no more earmarks. That he would check every line of every bill to remove earmarks.

From Washington, President Obama now says earmarks are cool. What is real cool about it is there are over 8500 earmarks in the proposed budget.

On the campaign trail, he promised an end to the special interests and lobbyists.

From Washington, they are not only in his administration, but many of the larger campaign contributors, AIG, are now receiving ‘bailouts.’

Speaking of AIG. Remember ‘those greedy’ employees who ran off with ‘your tax money’ in the form of bonuses? They can thank Barack Obama, Tim Guentner, and Chris Dodd for it. They wanted the employees to get it.   (And, btw, do appreciate  the  campaign contributions.) After seeing to it that you received your bonus, you’ll have to overlook the rhetoric now, calling you greedy rich Wall St. executives. (wink wink) We don’t really mean it, but the public outrage helps us advance the fall of the free market and subsequent rise in government power.

On the campaign trail, he had the solution to our economic problem.

In Washington, out of 18 positions in the Treasury Department, 17 are still unfilled. And Guentner does not have an assistant yet. Have you seen the President out recruiting? Has anyone asked him why, with the economy as the main focus of his campaign, he has the entire Treasury Dept. understaffed? Oh, I  remember. Executive experience wasn’t such a big deal for him. Because, they told us, he would make wise decisions. Remember during the campaign, his aides said that running this presidential campaign (that hasn’t and won’t end) was plenty of executive experience. Way more than the Governor of Alaska had. Way too many people believed it, or just did not care.

In assessing Barack Obama’s performance so far, I am reminded of an Al Gore quote. “He beTrayed this country. He Played On Our Fears!”

Of all that President Obama has done, as opposed to what he campaigned on, do you conclude that he has earned your trust or lost your trust?

Don’t look for polls on ‘trust’ as it relates to Obama himself and his administration. If there were a Republican in the White House, do you think the media would be so mute on the subject? No, that dog died.
