If Barack Obama is to become our 44th president, it will be heralded as a moment of historic significance unlike any other. However, I think many are missing the real reason why.
It's because Barack Obama will be our first hip-hop president.
I can only imagine how the world will embrace the leader of the free world when he introduces other foreign leaders with, "give it up for my man Vladimir." Giving "props" for joining us in a treaty. Or the first lady Michelle talking about "my man" the "daddy of my babies" when referring to the president. That should go over well everywhere from 10 Downing Street right on down to the streets of the Middle East.
The use of ghetto slang during the primaries and even today may be a clear indication just how the Obamas intend to "roll" if given the privileged seat in the Oval Office. Of course, having no sense of decorum and awe is nothing new to Democrats. Bill Clinton did a masterful job of disgracing the office, and I expect no less from Obama if given the chance.
But he will be so fly!
I can see it now. Air Force One decked out with "22s" and spinners. Maybe even a set of hydraulics. Watching the hip-hop president in the Oval Office with his baseball cap on backwards coping a gansta lean in the big chair. Should be really pimp, don't you think? Cool man, real cool. Instead of giving away presidential cuff links to guests, as is the custom, he will offer "bling bling."
I imagine a whole group of special advisers to the president sitting around the Oval Office discussing policy. Kanye West, 50 Cent and maybe even Eminem (to keep the diversity thing going), all sharing their life experiences with the prez to assist him in understanding his "peeps."
No more press conferences or State of the Union addresses will be necessary. He will text message any comments he has to his public and his pals in the media. When it comes time for the State of the Union, he can just post it on his blog and cc the Daily Kos and the Huffington Post. The first interactive, full bandwidth prez. How 21st century.
After a few months on the job he can refer to his cabinet members as his "bitches." Hey don't get angry at me. Take a listen to any hip-hop song, and that is the type of endearing language you will hear. A group of playas that have no respect for the country. The same country that affords them a lifestyle most people only dream of, and all they can do is endlessly complain about it. Barack is very good at putting America down. Just like his hipster homeboys. Remember that hip-hop is a culture, not a color. It’s a mind set and a way of life. One that is chosen not inherited. It has been slowly infiltrating every class and race in America for years. A culture that has led people to believe they deserve more. That America somehow owes them something. And because they think they have been ripped off in some fashion, they are angry.
They talk about how the system is rigged, the government is corrupt and things need to change. The same language and thought pouring out of America haters like Rev. Wright, Bill Ayers and Father Pfleger. Men that Barack Obama refers to as "his friends." My mom always taught me, "Birds of a feather flock together." Was she wrong?
Make no mistake about it. Barack Obama is dangerous for America. I have heard a constant flow of contempt for America coming out of Obama ad nauseam, and it is starting to really upset the average person on the street. To talk about how the rest of the world is better than America is not only a lie, it is not the language we should hear coming from the man who wants to lead us. How can you lead something you hate? And before you say I am wrong, look again at who he chooses as his friends – Haters of America with a capital "H."
It seems like every country, and now even China, is better than America in Obama's deluded thinking. Might I remind Obama that China has a huge portion of its citizens living in abject poverty, working for slave wages, many dying from lack of food. It's a nation with one of the worst human rights records in the world. And yet in Obama's eyes, China may just be a better place for businessmen to conduct their business.
Obama's obsession with China (apparently he watched too much Olympic coverage) reminds me of the days when another China-loving Democrat occupied the Oval Office. Do the names Yah Lin "Charlie" Trie and Johnny Huang ring a bell? How about the Loral Corporation? The investigation into the huge amounts of money coming from communist China into the Clinton war chest was the talk of Washington. Just what did the Clinton administration give to the Chinese for their generous gifts? Even Hillary got in on the China action recently by allowing Norman Hsu to line her pockets with cash earned by $8/an hour dishwashers from Chinatown.
If I sound a bit concerned about Obama acting as a spokesman from the Beijing Chamber of Commerce; indulge me. I only wish Obama was as excited about America as he is about Red China. Then again maybe he has a vision for a "New" America. One in which we are more like those fine Chinese. Better red than dead, Barack?
The more I see and hear from Obama, the more I know how dangerous he really is. He clearly does not have the experience or the love of country necessary to lead us effectively. That is unless we want him to lead us down the path to a full and complete socialist state where the government is responsible for everything. Including the redistribution of our wealth to those the left deems "in need" around the globe.
Barack does believe strongly in his favorite Bible verse. He wants to take care of the least of them – but with your money, not his. The McCains voluntarily gave almost 24 percent of their income to charity over the last several years. The Obamas averaged a bit less than 5 percent. Obama's own half brother is living on less than $15 a year in a Kenyan shantytown. But Obama is not going to help him. He wants your tax dollars to do his "charity."
Barack Obama is a very calculating politician. This guy demanded the sealed divorce records of his opponent to be opened to the public in his race for the Senate. The "caring" Obama was willing to destroy what was left of a family for his political future. Obama knows all to well how the game is played. He even works with corrupt slumlords like Tony Rezko. There is even talk among the left in D.C. about questionable contributions coming into the Obama campaign from the Middle East. Maybe Obama’s friends from the religion of peace are sending him the salaries of goat herders? How Clinton-esque. As long as Obama gets what he wants, he appears to care less about doing the right thing. Is that the type of president America wants?
But hey, he will be dope. He will use all the cool language and slang. He will be a president who is able to hang with the homies. One who will bring change to a nation he claims has lost its way – a nation hated by the world and that cannot do anything right.
Well I've got news for Mr. And Mrs. Obama. America wants a leader it can believe in, not a speech that sounds pretty. I don't want some cool cat sitting in the Oval Office. I want a person who respects the office, respects the people who pay for that office and is willing to work for the trust of those people – not some pompous jerk who looks down his nose at us or some Prima Donna who has no sense of gratitude to a country that has given him everything.
America wants to believe in someone who can ride in on a horse and save the day. They want to believe in the impossible. But at the end of the day, when it comes time to pull the lever for the next president, they will not vote Obama. They know deep in their hearts he is not the right man for the job. At least not now. And everyday he is on the campaign trail dissing America, more Americans will realize he is not the savior. He is merely Barack Obama … hip-hop senator from Illinois.
