Four Years
Can Obama change?
Listening to President Obama speak on election
night, I thought of the moment in “The Lion King” when Scar took over Pride
Rock. (You have to see the movie to just appreciate D’Souza’s right-on analogy)
My sentiment for America was perfectly captured by the accompanyin g song, “Be
Prepared.”
Be prepared, America, for another $5 trillion
dollars in debt. That means America would be over $20 trillion in debt, one
half of it added by one man, Barack Obama.
Be prepared for higher taxes on those who are
pulling the wagon, and more benefits for those who are sitting in the wagon.
Be prepared for further restrictions on hydraulic
fracturing and oil drilling in America, even as President Obama promotes and
subsidizes oil drilling in developing nations.
Be prepared for transfers of wealth away from
America and to the rest of the world.
This is what we as a country have voted for.
Be prepared, also, for the further diminution of
American power and influence in the world. This involves our allies falling,
one by one, in the Middle East, while the radical Muslims consolidate their
power in Iran, Egypt and elsewhere.
Ultimately just as Reagan was largely
responsible for the fall of the Soviet Union, President Obama may be credited
by history for helping to rest ore Islam as a global power, which it has not
been for three centuries. By 2016 America could cease to
be the world’s sole superpower, and have become rather a weak giant, a kind of
second Canada. This, too, we have risked by giving President Obama a second
term.
These predictions are not conjecture
but rather projections out from what President Obama has been doing in his
first term. As he suggested to Russia’s then-president
Medvedev, Mr. Obama now has more flexibility to make the concessions and pursue
the objectives that he really wants. He is, at least in foreign policy,
untethered to public opinion, and answerable only to his own conscience. (a concept completely alien to narcissists)
disk
For me, this is a scary prospect. I can see
America in 2016 as a poorer, weaker nation, and this would make Americans
frustrated and angry.
But why should President Obama care?
He would, as he cleared out his desk,
feel the profound satisfaction of a man who had single-handedly rearranged the
political and economic map of the world. He would have helped redistribute
wealth and power globally, and th us restored the world as it was before
colonialism. His reward would be that still, small voice
inside his head telling him, “Well done thou true and faithful servant.”
Consequently you can imagine the amusement with
which I watched pundits, including Democratic pundits like Lanny Davis, counsel
President Obama to be like President Clinton in his second term. Sure, Mr.
Clinton pivoted to the center, recognizing that he was governing a closely
divided country.
Clinton,
however, was committed to American prosperity and American greatness; Obama
isn’t. Clinton also wanted to be liked by his people, the American people. For
Obama, to borrow a quotation from his mother, “These are not my people.” Obama’s
commitments are global.
So I don’t expect Obama to change. I have argued
in my book “Obama’s America,” and implied in my film “2016,” that he cannot
change. He is like the toy soldier who walks into the wall and keeps going.
That is the only Obama we can realistically expect for the next four years.
And yet …
I watched Obama closely on election
night, recognizing the familiar hubris and bravado, I
thought to myself: how brilliant he is, how he strides across America like a
colossus, how he may have assembled a new and enduring majority, how this is
his America now, how this man whose story is possible only in America has now
twice been entrusted by America with the highest office in the land.
Isn’t that enough to make a man want to defend and
advance the interest of his country? Isn’t it sufficient to make Obama seek to
protect the economic welfare of his fellow citizens over that of the citizens
of other countries? Ideology may not compel Obama to move in these directions,
but his own self-image might. Obama has been raised on high by the American
people, who are looking to him to lead them not down the hill but onward and
upward, to greater and higher things.
How incredible it would be if Obama responded to
this great trust by proving himself worthy of it. That would truly make him one
of America’s great presidents. He would even, in this way, be helping the
world, because a strong, thriving America is good for the security and
prosperity of the world. Maybe this very smart man can rise above his past and
figure that out.
(But, don’t hold your breath and may G-d have pity
upon us and the useful idiots that kept this diabolical man in power) jsk
