Mr. Obama’s Ideal Outcome

Today is voting day in Massachusetts.  It appears to be a fierce fight between two big-government politicians (and Joe Kennedy, no relation to the late senator).  Many think that Mr. Obama wants Coakley to win so that he can push through a very unpopular healthcare reform bill. I think otherwise.

I think he wants Brown to win. Why? Because by having R’s have 41 votes, he will be freed from the ultra liberal shackles (no slavery pun intended) of Reid and Pelosi.  He will finally be in charge rather than having to bow to a few bi-coastal congressmen.   With this new found freedom comes an ability to push through a more “balanced” and “fair” healthcare reform bill that is just as intrusive, just as reliant on centralized government manipulation as the one currently being proposed.  The big difference will be in the way the press and congressmen on both sides present it.

Both sides will shake hands, slap each other on the back, do a high five, or some other self congratulatory masturbation celebrating their ability to “cross the aisle” in the name of protecting the people of America.

In the end, Obama saves his first term, Congress becomes a little more functional (unfortunately), and we suffer under an increasing weight of centralized government manipulation.  Congratulations!

    In my opinion, Obama wanted Coakley to win so he could continue to push his extreme left agenda on the American people. The facts bear out that Obama lives on the extreme left…his voting record in the Senate was rated THE most liberal vs. his 99 peers. And every single action in his first year in office points to the far left. Obama, Reid and Pelosi are joined at the hip. Ironically, I think that Brown’s victory can actually save the Obama presidency—IF he tacks to the center. I am not sure he will choose to do so.

  • The Aphorism Drive

    Here is a truism, if not an aphorism. Without death and the certainty of physical finitude, Homo sapiens would never have left the cave. Unhappiness and uncertainty — rather than happiness and certitude — are what get us off our duffs.

    No misery. No Sistine Chapel.

    So what happens to the creative spirit when government steps in to soothe our anxieties? Without unhappiness, what happens to culture? Without adversity, what happens to motivation? Parents know. Suffice to say, the work ethic is not strong among the coddled.

    Most important, with all needs met, what happens to freedom — that human recoil against imposed order?”

    If you thought Bernard Madoff's Ponzi scheme was bad, wait until you hear about the inverted pyramid scheme the federal government is working on. While Mr. Madoff preyed on people who trusted him with their money, the federal government has everyone's money, and the implications of its actions are worse.”
