Now and Then

The stage is set, the curtain is going up and all eyes will be on the greatest speaker and our first post-racial president. All of our elected federal officials and members of the supreme court will look with awe as the commander-in-chief enters the great hall to the roar of the crowd and the cameras will role as he ascends to the throne and takes his place behind the safety of his TOTUS. Seated behind the great man will be the Speaker of the House, a great lady and defender of the down-trodden masses and next to her the President of the Senate, the Vice President, who often speaks the truth much to the dismay of the great leader. The applause, the cheers will subside and the great leader will speak and the words will flow over the crowd and through the airways and a feeling of awe will permeate those assembled and the masses huddled round their TV's at home.

But that was January 2009 and this is September 2009 and things have changed. This great man this great post-racial president has lost his glow and cloud has settled on his image and a new emerging one is being formed. Americans are beginning to see, not the great uniter, but the lying divider. he will attempt to sway the masses again as he did earlier, but this time, his words will fall on deaf ears and the applause will be muffled and subdued. The sleeping giant of middle America has been wakened and the lies of this once great leader have been exposed and his true agenda revealed.

President Obama we will no longer listen, we will no longer believe, we will no longer tolerate your lies, we will no longer respect you, we will instead insist you respect our will and hear our demands. And sir if you persist in your ways and attempt to impose an unAmerican system on us, we sir will crush you and those like you and purge you and your supporters from our America. You sir, are unAmerican, unpatriotic, and unwanted!!
