Cobbling together a
constituency
GOPUSA – Peter Lemiska –

Like the former
Governor of Illinois, who tried to sell Obama’s vacant senate seat, Obama has
acquired a keen appreciation for the unique assets that come with his office.
So now he is using his presidential powers as a personal bankroll to buy the
votes he needs. Like a benevolent dictator, he is bestowing favors on his
favored groups, unilaterally enforcing or ignoring existing laws, all in an
effort to cobble together a constituency. But what some see as compassionate
policy decisions are really just political calculations, divisive and transient
in nature. They lack the benefit of healthy debate, and are unsupported by the
law of the land.
If Obama’s gambit is
successful, our United
States will soon be anything but united. It
will no longer be the shining city that President Reagan envisioned, but will
become the vision of an unprincipled huckster, always ready to trade some favor
for political support.
If Obama fails to
address the real problems facing our country, our economic situation can only
worsen. And if he continues to rule by decree, ignoring our Constitution,
America will become just another welfare state, more divided than ever, and
dependent, not even on some government bureaucracy, but on the whims of a
self-appointed dictator.
