The Legacy of President “Wee-Wee’d”

Sure, we’re all laughing now that the current Leader of the Free World uses scatological baby talk in public, but his powerful contribution to the history of our great country is assuming concrete shape and form before our eyes. Consider the number of people interviewed at recent town halls who made statements to the effect “This is the first time in my life that I have become involved in politics.”
The importance of this contribution cannot be overemphasized. It also explains the then-curious remark his wife (whom I for one now regard as brilliant, even if she can’t write a single syntactically well-formed sentence in her native language) made on the campaign trail. Recall her words:
Barack Obama will require you to work. He is going to demand that you . . . move out of your comfort zones. That you push yourselves to be better. And that you engage. Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual, uninvolved, uninformed.
Tell me that she hasn’t been proven to be fact by recent developments!
If there’s one thing you can count on it’s that history will brand Barack Obama as “the popular-involvement president.” Engraved plaques will adorn the walls of public buildings in cities and towns throughout America. The sentiment they proudly bear will be along the lines of the following:
This plaque commemorates our nation’s 44th president, Barack Obama, whose haughtiness, deceitfulness, naïveté, and Marxist inclinations so scared the bejesus out of sane, rational Americans that it led legions of them to become involved in current events and the affairs of government.

God works in mysterious ways His wonders to behold. Things happen in God’s own time not ours. We want things to happen now but that’s not the way He works. Of course, I’m talking about the real and living God, not that piece of work sitting in the WH.

Have a micro recorder in my car? I said the exact (almost) statement to my boyfriend on the way to the Red State Conference. Maybe this is the catalyst to make our Country leaner, meaner and bring us back to our industrial and social exceptional ism.
That’s a hope I can live with. Nice article, thanks.

Amen, Portnoy! And Kissmygrits, too. On election night I felt like I’d been hit with a 2-by-4. How could all my efforts and prayers, and the prayers of sincere people everywhere, have been for nothing? How could America have elected this know-nothing, do-nothing Marxist? I remember thinking then that this was America’s punishment for the sin of abortion. I had to concede that only God could see the big picture, and He must have a purpose in all this.
I said to my brother before the election that if Obama won, it would be a disaster for America. But even I was amazed at how quickly and spectacularly Obama managed to cover himself with shame.
And now I can maybe see a glimmer of God’s purpose. If it takes Obama to wake this nation up, to make us reclaim our heritage, then I’ll be eternally grateful for those election results.
