and divinely inspired.
Byron York has written
a great column today in which he paints a picture of a Barack Obama who is constitutionally restless (yeah, bad pun, I know) and impatient with limits on his power. It's amazing to read how "community organizing" wasn't enough, how neither the Illinois Senate nor the U.S. Senate was enough for him.
Of
course not. And it fits perfectly with the impression of a man who will not negotiate, because he feels he does not need to. This is not about representation. It is not about compromise. It is about being
right. Obama sees himself as being morally superior to everyone on every position, and therefore he ought not have to answer for anything. That is behind his perennially lifted nose, his irritation at being asked pointed questions, his disdain for Americans, and his ire at failing anything.
He should not fail. He should never fail. Because he is right. He has been chosen. It is his destiny.
And why, suddenly, is Der Obamameister so frustrated?
Because he does not have the power as President that he thought he would. Because he does not have the power he believes he
deserves. Because all of those dumba$$es out in New Jersey, and Virginia, and New York, and - oh, God - Massachusetts -
dared to vote against his policies, and so against Him. And he cannot fathom that. So what does he say? That he had not communicated his ideas well enough to the people.
Because if I had
, you knuckle-dragging ignorant cretins, you would never have opposed me. No one who is enlightened could possibly oppose me.
And
why doesn't Obama have the power he wants?
Because of Franklin, and Madison, and Jefferson, and Hamilton, and Jay, and Adams, and all of the rest of those brilliant, and educated, and inspired men who knew history and human nature, and knew that men (and women) like Obama have always lived among us and will always live among us, and that the only way to protect ourselves from them is to establish a system that absolutely stymies one-person control.
Tonight, before I go to sleep, I will thank God for those men. Every single last one whose voice and thought and signature were on those precious first documents. I will thank them for creating a system that has stopped Obama in his tracks. And I will pray that we have the wisdom and the insight and the courage to keep alive what they created.
