Where does the time go?
A new week already! A
new opportunity for Obama to spread his lies as he continues to campaign,
blaming everybody else for the mess the country enjoys.
Over this last weekend, as the weather became warmer and we
enjoyed our first triple digit temperature of the season, I allowed my mind to
wander….allowed it to ask the question…”What would it take to become President
of the United States of America?”
It is clear that it takes a large number of skills…just to
get through the nomination process. And then you would have to win a tough
election. And then success as a President could easily slip away if you were
not fully prepared to execute the ideas and promises made on the campaign
trail.
Of course…I was wrong in all my thinking.
That is NOT what it takes to become President.
I think the first thing that is needed is a book deal.
An autobiography of the first 30 years of your life would be
a great way to prepare the people for your eventual candidacy for President. Of
course, since nobody knows who you are or where you are from, the book is
likely to languish on the shelves collecting dust….until you actually become
someone that the people are interested in, but then your book will become a
best seller and serve multiple purposes:-
1.
Royalties will roll in thus launching you into
the top 1% (after paying off any debts left over from previous failed public
office attempts – at least those debts that some benefactor had not paid off on
your behalf)
2.
It will help to convey to the general population
exactly who you want them to see. Because it was written well in advance of
seeking public office it cannot be claimed that it was written for political
purposes – and yet it will serve a massive political purpose if planned
properly.
3.
The autobiography can be presented as truth but
can also provide the politician’s greatest tool…plausible deniability. The
ability to deny what is in the book…the ability to affirm that some of the
characters are composites of girls you know, or the ability to state that this
is a work based on memories and situations that may or may not have been true
but merely represent the feelings of the author about the subject matter. Names
and places have been changed to protect the guilty and so on.
As I relaxed in the shade, drink
in hand, I marveled at the method behind Obama’s madness….at the age of 30 he
wrote his autobiography “Dreams from my Father”.
This book languished on book store
shelves for some 12 years with the only sales being to those few people who had
even heard of Obama at that time. Most people did not know him, nor could care
less about this community organizer who spent 6 or 7 useless years as a State
Senator, and then two years as a Federal Senator, before anyone knew him.
But then he spoke at the Democrat
Convention in, I believe, 2003/2004…and everything changed.
This nobody suddenly saw demand
for his book skyrocket…earning him somewhere around $10 million in royalties.
Obama had arrived. The propaganda he
had so carefully prepared all those years ago was working to great effect.
Maybe I should write my autobiography?
Maybe I should write about…ooooh…let
me see…who do I want to impact most?
I have to first capture the
imaginations of my readers…and their sympathies. Perhaps a “shocking” story to
start with would be good…perhaps how I was stolen as a child and adopted by
loving but unknowing and unsuspecting parents would do the trick?
Further interest and intrigue
could be added as I searched for my biological parents only to never meet them
before they died.
I could appeal to the religious right
by writing about my religious transformation and finding salvation in the
seventies.
I could appeal to the younger
people by writing about my experiences with Mary J, and sex as a college
student.
I could appeal to the thrill
seekers by speaking of my experiences as a traveler through places they only
dream they could have visited. For good measure I could throw in my need for
speed (not the drug kind, the car kind).
No good autobiography would be complete
without a story of heroism, and saving someone from certain death. I could
include that too.
And of course through all these
adventures, struggles and internal sufferings, I found myself as a successful businessman.
Maybe success as a businessman at a very young age would be powerful.
I would call my autobiographical
book “An Ordinary Man”. You see, everyone has a story…and while the things I
wrote above are all true, it is not what you say, but how you say it that makes
all the difference.
I could have written that book
when I was 30…all those things listed were real and happened before my 30th birthday. I could spin the stories to
appeal to whichever audience I want to appeal to. I could create characters
that may or may not have existed …characters that can be used to further evolve
the description of the type person I want the world to believe that I am.
Of course, I would leave out the
big mistakes I made in life, but would include smaller ones that showed I had
not only learned but changed as a result.
Had I written such a book when I
was 30….had I been sufficiently aware of what I wanted from life then, I could
have tailored that autobiography to describe a person totally different to the
one I am today…but a person that Joe Public could identify with. I could become
the man that every woman wanted and every man wanted to be like.
And when I moved from obscurity to
a position in the public eye…there on the bookshelves of every major book store
in town, is the book that will tell people who I REALLY am.
Oh, wait….that has already been
done…
Obama did exactly that….he created
“Dreams from My Father” out of the memories of his struggle for black identity.
Yeah right! I believe that!
Nope. He planned his career…he
believed that he was going to be important…nay, WAS already important.
He craftily wrote his
autobiography before he gained prominence.
He craftily wrote his
autobiography to appeal to the exact people who would be the movers and shakers
that would propel his political ambitions forward.
He craftily wrote his
autobiography to be the first BIG lie in his arsenal of lies.
This is who we are dealing with in
this election cycle.
Make no mistake…he is an evil
snake slithering through the cesspool that is Washington…but just as a serpent
is depicted biblically as both evil and crafty, this snake takes his characteristics
with great seriousness.
He will slither and slide from one
lie to another….allowing no sense of loyalty to get in the way of his progress.
Any man that can plan so far
ahead, and is so narcissistic as to write his autobiography at age 30, even
though he had achieved NOTHING of note by then…is a man that we must be wary
of.
Do not be fooled again.
He is no messiah….he is barely an
ordinary man. I challenge you all to look at your own stories…to write down
just a few sentences that sum up what has driven your life…and then compare it
to the nonsense that is Obama…and you will find that you, too, have a story
that is equally as meaningful, equally as exciting, equally as mesmerizing as
that of Obama.
An Ordinary Man!
That is all.
