The King's Speech

No, this is not about the silly movie about a British King with a lisp. It's rather about a man who thinks he is king, and is governing with the prerogatives of a decadent monarch.

While the President and his Secretary of State call for Mubarack of Egypt, and now also Kaddafi of Lybia to step down; Mr. Obama and his administration carry on in a despotic manner as if they are above reproach. Bulls and Edicts are soon to follow since the apparent change to the use of Cannon Law

Last week, President Obama shocked the nation, but didn't surprise me at all, by stating that he would no longer uphold the Defense of Marriage Act, and has advised Attorney General Eric Holder to follow suit.

Obama administration will no longer defend DOMA


Jay Carney* (new White House Press Secretary):
The decision is that we will -- the administration will not defend the Defense of Marriage Act in the Second Circuit. Furthermore, the President directed the Attorney General not to defend, because of the decision that it’s not constitutional, defend the Defense of Marriage Act in any other circuit, in any other case.

Here are my concerns:

While the nation is experiencing a financial crisis (despite the ever present propaganda that we're in the midst of recovery) with unemployment on the record at 9%, and well over 18% on the ground;

1. When the national deficit is rapidly approaching $14,200,000,000,000 http://www.usdebtclock.org/ ;
2. When the government is operating without a budget and is facing a possible shut-down;
3. When 4 Americans were kidnapped and killed by Somali 'PIRATES';
4. When 4 Police Officers have recently been killed in Florida, three of which were in St. Petersburgh within the last 30 days;
5. While inflation is affecting the price of all consumer goods;
6. While there is a disruption of Law and Order in the capital of Wisconsin;
7. While Wisconsin Democrat State Senators are hiding, failing to report to duty, and teachers are playing hooky from school;
8. And there are crowds chanting in the streets of cities: If they did it in Egypt, we can do it here too!

Mr. Obama decides it's time to meet in private with Democrat Governors in Washington;

Mr. Obama celebrates the Motown Sound in the White House, while Madison is in havoc;

Mr. Obama says he won't enforce the Defense of Marriage Act, as if he were the Supreme Court.

What planet are we living on, here? Futurama?

Do we have government by decree in the land of the free? Are we a monarchy in the midst of all this anarchy?

Isn't this reminiscent of the famous line attributed to Queen Marie Antoinette:
"Let them eat cake"?


On another note, this is like a sick Hegelian Dialectic Bowling game - Bill Clinton sets them up, then Obama knocks them down:

Don't ask Don't Tell - Bill Clinton, January, 1993 - Obama, January 2011.


Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) Bill Clinton, 1996 - Obama , February 2011.

So far the only observable exception to this peculiar Clinton-Obama symbiotic relationship is the HEALTH CARE OVERHAUL.


Bill Clinton (Hillary Rodham) attempted passing Health Care Reform during his tenure; But, Obama slam dunked it like a Harlem Globetrotter in 2010, with smoke and mirrors.
