BALTIMORE, Maryland November 5, 2014 - Now we learn what impact, if any, the historic drubbing sustained by the ultra far left Obama Administration will have on Obsms's policy initiatives over his final two years in office. It is a given that Obama will publicly misinterpret the strong and clear message of the voters, the message that said 'we have had it with Obama's policies.' Obama and his folk will not publicly admit that the voters rejected - with pure unadulterated gusto - the Obama Administration's ultra far left politics. Instead, Obama and his supporters will mouth the nonsense about the voters letting Washington know that they want to end gridlock. Had that been the message, the election would've ousted incumbents of both parties, not just candidates from one.
It is true that the voters want to end Washington's nonsense. But the nonsense that has angered voters is the far left policy initiatives of Obama and company, In particular, the voters let it be known with absolute clarity that they want the following to occur immediately:
(1) An immediate end to Obamamess; i.e. Obamacare. All of it. If Obama vetoes such legislation ending Obamacare and the Congress cannot over-ride such a veto, then piecemeal repeal becomes an acceptable alternative;
(2) While voters will tolerate some kind of immigration reform, they want it to start with an absolute and certain closing of the southern border. Obama's idea of starting reform with blanket amnesty for millions of illegal aliens is the last thing voters want;
(3) an immediate end to all tax hikes, new taxes, new fees, and anything else that takes a bigger gouge out of voters' paychecks;
(4) Programs that will stimulate job growth, and not just the lousy part-time jobs that are the hallmark of Obama's economy;
(5) An end to negotiations with Iran over the building of nuclear weapons. Anybody who has paid half an ounce of attention to the Iranians and the way they go about terrorizing the rest of the world, knows that they are moving as rapidly as possible to build a nuclear weapon. They also know that the minute Iran has a nuclear weapon it is going to launch it at Israel. The Mullahs have publicly promised this. Any agreement that curtails our ability to closely monitor all of Iran's nuclear activities is a very bad idea. Prudence demands an attack now on Iran's nuclear facilities. Yet we understand that the Obama Administration is doing everything it can to prevent Israel from attacking Iran. And we read that Obama believes he can get a deal with Iran which will entail the Iranians promising not to build a nuclear weapon in return for a very large sum of money paid by us to Iran. And have no doubt, Iran will take our money and continue to build their bomb. And, as said, when it is done, they will launch it at Israel. Obama needs to stop negotiating with people who are hell bent on acquiring the bomb at all cost, and destroying Israel as soon as possible. If Obama thinks he can talk Iran out of its intentions, he is believing in pure fantasy.
At a news conference Wednesday afternoon Obama said that he would sign an executive order giving some kind of amnesty to up to four million illegal aliens unless Congress passes legislation in the next six weeks that accomplishes a similar goal. He said that he heard the voters, but he also said, curiously, that he also heard the two-thirds of the electorate that chose not to vote. So the folk who didn't care eough to go to the polls carry a message that Obama thinks carries more weight than the millions who did vote, almost in unison, thereby sending a certain and clear message to Washington to get away from the ultra far left policies and, well, 'get American.' It is ideas precisely like Obama's planned amnesty for millions of lawbreakers that laid the groundwork for the compelling voter statement on Tuesday. And Obama, while claiming he heard, also apparently doesn't give a hoot about it. And, by the way, the Democrats will react to Tuesday night by nominating a fellow ultra leftist two years hence in the person of Mrs. Clinton.
Here is what this observer predicts for these intervening two years:
(1) Obama will, indeed, sign a self-styled 'executive order' purporting to provide amnesty for most illegal aliens.
(2) A Citizen's Group will file a suit to block the action and obtain an injunction from a Federal District Judge. The Justice Department will appeal and a Federal Circuit Court will overturn the District Court decision. But the Supreme Court will grant certiorari, and, in time, rule that Obama - as appears obvious from the Constitution - wholly overstepped his bounds when he granted amnesty in a field where Congress has legislated since the beginning of the Republic.
(3) Congress will, in fact, pass legislation overturning Obamacare. The bill will have bipartisan support. Obama, of course, will veto. Congress will then stun the Washington Elite set by over-riding the veto.
(4) Obama will finally approve the Keystone Pipeline, but he will attach so many so-called environmental stipulations to this approval that the project will again face lengthy delays, and may, in fact, never be built. At best, construction will not start until the next President takes office.
(5) With the GOP now in charge of both Houses of Congress, a Senate Committee begins a very public investigation of the IRS Scandal. At least two Senators will face indictment after revelations uncovered by the Senate Probe show they were urging former IRS Boss Lois Lerner to use the power of the agency to harass opponents: Jeanne Shaheen of New Hampshire and Al Franken of Minnesota. While Obama himself will not be indicted, it will be clear as the investigation continues that Obama was aware of the corruption very early on and elected to 'stay above the fray' rather than clean house at the IRS. And the cleaning house part is critical, because somebody in Obama's inner circle was, in fact, one of the movers and shakers in the corruption scheme which turned the IRS and other federal agencies loose on perceived enemies of the Obama Administration.
(6) It is the Benghazzi Committee and its final report which most sullies both Obama and Mrs. Clinton. The Committee's final report will crystalize for the nation the sordid scene at Andrews Air Force Base when the bodies of the four massacred Americans are returned home, and are met on the tarmac by the grieving families and a few national officials, including Obama and Mrs. Clinton. Both will be shown to have known that the so-called video played no role whatsoever in the massacre. Both Obama and Clinton will be shown to have known beyond a shadow of a doubt that the only reason the four men died was their abject failure to increase security at Benghazi - despite frantic requests that they do so by Ambassador Stevenson - for fear it would undermine Obama's re-election in 2012, when he was campaigning on a platform that included, prominently, his boast that he had gutted Al Qaeda by killing Osama Bin Laden. And so on that day at Andrews, Obama and Mrs. Clinton knew they were telling bald-faced lies when they 'comforted' survivors with promises of bringing the video-maker to justice, because he was the person who caused the deaths of their loved ones. Despite the damage to the Clinton Presidential bid, she trudges on, but loses to the GOP nominee in the 2016 Presidential Election.
(7) This is the prediction that scares me the most. Iran will have a nuclear bomb within 12 to 18 months from today. They will immediately provoke a conflict with Israel with an eye toward using the bomb on Israel because of some manufactured provocation. Israel, of course, will immediately launch a full-scale military strike. How this plays out will determine what kind of world order exists 24 months from today. Obama will still be President when Iran gets the bomb ready to go and Israel is compelled to attack. This nation's citizens will be seething that Obama allowed this to happen because he thought he could 'talk' to Iran. He talked to them, alright. Right up to the eve of Armageddon.
It seems to me and to others that Obama is just itching to exercise the executive order pen with regard to immigration. He either doesn't get the country's message or is oblivious to it. On national television Wednesday night the scholarly Charles Krauthamer said Obama is "oblivious" and reckless, a truly dangerous combination. Obama literally promised to use it with regard to immigration and amnesty. He has strongly hinted he would act himself with regard to Iran. That should make everyone feel better. The thought that of Obama barricaded in the Whitehouse firing off executive orders on immigration, the environment and Iran's nuclear program are frightening but, I believe, highly possible because I just do not think he can get along with a GOP-controlled Congress that he has to share power with. He was infatuated with Chavez and Castro, and the nation might get to see that infatuation play out over the next two years.
