Look at, listen to, and consider the dealings of President Barack Obama over the course of his nearly four years in office. He exemplifies the “fun guy at the party” stereotype. You know. You’ve been there. The fun guy is the one who cracks a few jokes, tells a dazzling story or two that captivates those around him, and yet you wonder if anything he says is true. He’s the smooth talker who appears to befriend everyone but is the personification of shallow. He’s the guy who orders round after round only to disappear just before the check comes, stiffing his so-called friends.
Recall Obama’s tough talk on the Today show in February 2009 regarding the economy: “If I don’t have this done in three years, then this is going to be a one-term proposition.”
He appeared confident — braggadocious, even. Of course, there was nothing in his past to give anyone any evidence that he could do this, but he sure sounded confident, and people just took him at his word like lemmings and nodded their heads in agreement.
People bought into his charisma, equating his messages of hope with the ability to succeed at the task at hand. Yet, as is clear today, he was shallow, empty of any meaningful ideas, and certainly devoid of any experience in creating or sustaining jobs in a business or organization.
He told and continues to tell these marvelous stories about the millions of jobs he’s created, yet we see that today’s real unemployment rate is a whopping 15%. Obama, unfettered by the acts, goes into a smooth diatribe of how these untraceable jobs are in fact real, hoping we’ll trust him and buy his apparent sincerity. All the while, you wonder if having so many Americans out of work and dependent on the government for financial assistance doesn’t play into his seemingly endless push to have government more involved and controlling of our lives.
