So the Obamacare debacle rolls along. All kinds of bad things could be happening over the next three or four weeks, as the insurance policies purchased through the web site go into effect, or don’t. The whole damn thing is such a mess, I’ve got to believe knowledgeable and politically savvy Democrats are hitting the bottle pretty hard these days. I’m sure there are a lot of bright people trying to figure a way out of this mess. Not Obama, though. The Democrat’s Dear Leader is off to Hawaii with the fam, golfing and having fun on the beach for 17 days.
Now, to me, if I’m a Democrat, I’ve got to find this pretty offensive. But for some reason (because he’s black?) Obama gets a pass. I wonder how much longer that’s going to last. The man was totally oblivious to the work involved in turning immensely complicated legislation into a social program. It’s kind of a big deal. This is his signature legislation, even though he had nothing to do with writing it. It’s his ticket into the history books. I don’t think it’s because he’s lazy, though he is. I think it’s because of his incredible ignorance about the real world. He had nothing to say. He had no idea what they were actually doing. If he asked questions he was afraid they’d be stupid ones, which would expose his ignorance. Better to inspire the work of others than to learn how to do it yourself.
The man has spent his life in an academic cocoon. He knows nothing except what he reads in books. He’s been thinking big thoughts for so long now, they’ve crowded out any real world experience.
So far, then, the scenario I envisioned two months ago is playing out. A political crisis, or fundamental and deep political realignment, may be taking place. If it is, it’s the opportunity of a lifetime to seize the moment, and do things, politically, that were previously unthinkable. Like Article V passage of a series of Liberty Amendments, beginning with a balanced budget. If the November wave is big enough, it could all really happen.
I, personally, am very happy to be involved in this. I think I bring something to the table.
