Luck can deliver cruel retaliation. What every gambler knows is that beginners
luck never stays, but the gambler believes that it will last forever. He believes that he will always have it
available to him. In the long run his
gambles will be larger and more frenetic as he sees his luck begins to fade. The more it vanishes the more desperate he
becomes and the more desperate become his decisions.
That is the place in which Barack Obama finds himself today. He is thinking that his luck is
continuing. Yes, he’s been lucky. He had two years of complete control over the
agenda, and to this point he has not had to pay the gamblers price yet. But times they are achangin’.
During the second two years of his administration he gutted
the American economy with the help of uninformed voters who came back to
support him despite his dismal record.
He was lucky when his spies recorded 47% truth that, of course, he twisted into
lies. He was very lucky when Mitt Romney
was extending a good lead and Sandy struck and took Romney’s momentum at the
most critical time of his campaign and destroyed it.
The Benghazi story has been gutted with the media’s knowing
culpability and help again twisting the narrative: this, despite the deaths of
four brave Americans including an ambassador. With Obama’s help the obvious Benghazi
basic story was turned into “who said what and when” not “who DID what and when”
and most important of all, “Who made the fateful decisions at critical times.” These revelations will come out.
This false luck has taken Obama to heights never imagined. He has made some huge assumptions,
assumptions he has no right to attempt to implement. But because he thinks he still has beginner’s
luck his power will continue unabated and undiminished for a time. But what goes up this high will come crashing
down with equal, if not more powerful, detonation. His hubris is unlimited; his fall will be catastrophic
to him and to America.
But the storm is gaining power, and Sandy will be but a
breeze by comparison. Presidents like to
think about their legacy in the second term.
Obama’s thoughts are going in a different direction. He believes in his heart-of-hearts that he
will have a third and beyond. He is
putting into place policies in the depths of the bureaucratic mafia that be
believes will insure his continued reign.
Once again, Israel will be at the center of Obama’s collapse
and ultimately cement his legacy as the worst president in the history of
America. His luck is turning. The issues of American and the world are
aligning against him and he is blinded by his assumption he can’t lose. It’s a gambler’s mentality.
What is happening in Iran, Egypt and Syria coupled with the tenacity
that Israel has to survive will make some issues that he will not be able to
address. His thinking is already anti-Israel
though he claims the opposite. What is
likely to happen is total war in the Middle East. If Iran gets a nuclear bomb, which doesn’t
seem to worry Obama, it won’t be America who will, in mortal fear, launch
against Iran. Egypt is likely to turn
into a long-time civil war. Syria is
already in that kind of war. Turkey and
Saudia Arabia will do whatever it takes to neutralize Iran with or without
America and Obama will get the blame either way.
Against this backdrop, Israel will become an even more hated
target. Iran’s leadership is so unstable
and fanatical it will assume it can use that bomb with impunity. It can’t.
The price for Obama thinking he still has his beginners luck will turn
America into a defender of Israel despite Obama’s hate of the Jewish state. Obama’s price for his reliance on luck will
make him the recipient of the blame for the war that will tear the Middle East
apart.
At home, with the economy in shambles, as it is, he will
begin to reap the rewards of an insane series of economic policies that are
just starting to destroy with painful efficiency the poor and jobless. Obama can no longer blame George W.
Bush. It is now his record that is to
blame. The American people are so
divided by his perpetual policies of divide and conquer through hate, envy,
fear and racism, the hallmarks of his campaign and the fundamental elements of
his administration that the results are fearsome to contemplate.
America is so alienated with Obama pitting one side against
the other that it is a very dry tinderbox on the verge of explosion. As the failures of Obama’s policies begin to
take their toll on those uninformed voters who won’t get what they think they’ve
been promised, they will begin to turn, and the hate will be palpable and returned
to Obama in the same vindictive way he has led America. He again will lose the luck he thinks he has.
In the end, the hate he will have generated and used will ultimately become his
legacy.
