The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the presidency. It will be easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their president.
The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails them. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince.
The republic can survive a Barack Obama, who is, after all, merely a fool. It is less likely to survive a multitude of fools such as those who made him their president.
Author unknown
I feel a bit sorry for the “unknown” author of the above quotation. I don’t entirely agree with him but it’s a solid observation that’s been pushed around the e-mail circuit and has no less than 219,000 hits on Google. Apparently a lot of people are passing it off as their own. I’ve seen it posted as a comment on multiple sites and the “authors” of these posts are signing it as if they wrote it themselves.
Shame on you all
That said, I agree that Obama is the Prince of Fools and that his supporters constitute a Confederacy of Fools. But I disagree with the author’s contention that the Republic cannot survive the multitude of fools who put Obama in office. He’s right, we couldn’t if the Confederacy of Fools remained intact; however, the flaw in his argument is that members of the Confederacy of Fools are too ignorant to learn from their mistakes.
Believe me, some of the biggest political fools in the country live in Massachusetts. After all, they kept that drunken coward Ted Kennedy in office for almost half a century. But, while the people of Massachusetts obviously will suffer fools gladly, even they could see through the lies, smoke, mirrors, and corruption of Barack Obama, Nancy Pelosi, and Harry Reid.
The people of Massachusetts elected a Republican to the US Senate! I can almost picture them holding their noses while, for the first time in their lives, they voted for a Republican. Scott Brown was not elected because of his decades-old nude centerfold in Cosmo; he wasn’t elected because of his piercing political insights; and, in Massachusetts, you can be sure as hell he wasn’t elected because he was a Republican.
He was elected because even members of the Confederacy of Fools in Massachusetts had learned something from the Obamanation of the past year.
The Big Question being debated by insiders in both parties now is “Is Obama going to be a one-term president?” It’s too early to tell but the in-fighting in both parties for the inside track in the 2012 primaries already is underway. He told ABC’s Diane Sawyer, “I’d rather be a really good one-term president than a mediocre two-term president.”
Apparently, he’s overlooked the fact that he’s already well into the third option: being a mediocre one-term president.
