Betting the Electorate Won't Care

In spite of the fact that the American electorate was warned repeatedly about Barack Obama's woeful lack of experience and qualification for the office of President, the citizens turned a deaf ear and proceeded to vote for him anyway.

Americans didn't seem to care that Obama lied about the nature and depth of his relationship with domestic terrorist William Ayers, who never expressed one bit of regret concerning his deadly activity as a subversive prior to his becoming a professor, where he continues to espouse Leftist views that are distasteful if not repugnant to the majority of mainstream Americans.

And they didn't care that Obama's connection to ACORN was dubious at best, even to the extent of using the organization to get him more votes under the guise of being a 'non-partisan voter registration organization.'

And they turned a blind eye to Obama's bid for the Illinois legislature as a candidate of 'The New Party' when he first started in politics--an organization that was an outgrowth of The Socialist Party of Chicago.

And the electorate didn't seem to mind at all that Obama led Jews to believe he was for a united Jerusalem under the control of Israel, only to state before a different audience within one week that he supported a Palestinian state that divided Jerusalem between Jews and the terrorist organization Hamas.

And let's not forget that Obama's views on government, taxation, healthcare, and business place him in a very small elite group of 'the most liberal Senators on Capitol Hill.'

They were warned, but they didn't care.

And I'm betting they still won't care when they are informed that their new President wrote a ton of papers as a student at Columbia University in the 1980s that blamed the United States for escalating the threat of war during the Cold War with the USSR.

As Evan Gahr writes in Human Events, Obama was so quick to blame America and dismiss the seriousness of the Soviet threat that he entirely misread the nature of the era. This means, of course, that there is reason to believe that Obama is also misreading the threat of terrorism and its hitmen, such as Hamas and Hezbollah.

While Obama was protesting the policies of Ronald Reagan which were aimed at weakening the Soviet resolve, and building up our military capability, which forced the Soviets to wreck their own economy in an attempt to keep up with our military buildup, Reagan was showing the world that the back of the Soviet menace could be broken.

In short, history proved Obama wrong. His views on history, war, political movements, and socio-economic realities are entirely skewed, which make his policy initiatives entirely suspect.

We simply cannot trust this man. But I'm betting the electorate won't care until things are so royally screwed that they can't help but sit up and take notice.
