Obama Goes Back To The Future

Posted: September 29th, 2010 | Author: Dr. Bill Stillwell | No Comments »

It’s been a horrible Summer and early Fall for the President. His
approval rating is his lowest ever and the downward spiral shows no
signs of abating. Bob Woodward’s new book shows ugly infighting at
the White House, between pragmatists and the left wing idealogues
and nut jobs that Obama brought to Washington.

Obama’s number two, Rahm Emmanuel, leader of the pragmatists, will
be gone very shortly, so that he can run for Mayor of Chicago. This
will leave a huge void in the Obama machine, because whatever
moderate influence Emmanuel has been able to exert will be gone,
leaving the leftists in complete charge, with Reid and Pelosi to run
ramshackle on the field.

David Axelrod will leave shortly, to crank up Campaign 2012, if
Campaign 2008 ever ends. David Plouffe is coming to plan strategy,
but cleaning up your own mess is different from blaming it on
someone else.

The President is out on the campaign trail, complaining about the
lack of enthusiasm for his policies, and calling out college
students for being apathetic in the face of a tsunami against him.
Jumpin JoJo is telling Democrats to “stop whining.” But without
anything of substance on the teleprompter, this is a very hard sell.

So he’s gone back to the future. In a Rolling Stone article, he says
FOX NEWS is destructive to the long term growth of America. He
compares FOX to the old Hearst newspaper empire and says all FOX is
about is the money.

Let’s revisit history for a moment. When FOX NEWS was started 15
years ago, all three networks and CNN tried to crush it. They didn’t
want anybody telling a different story than they were telling and
they tried, at every opportunity, to drive FOX into the ground. With
their allies in the print media, they didn’t miss a chance to bash
FOX.

Today, it’s a completely different story. More people watch FOX than
any other network. In the cable world, if you combine all the other
networks, they don’t reach half as many people as FOX. In terms of
where people get their news, and whom they trust, it’s FOX again.

The reason is simple. FOX coverage has been fair, while network
coverage and other cable coverage, has been highly slanted. NBC and
CNBC might as well have put on Obama cheerleading outfits. MSNBC’s
reporters are such zealous Obama supporters that they should abandon
the word reporter, and change it to “slobbering supporter.” At CBS,
the perky Katie Couric is a Democratic Party operative.

The problem for the President is that people have figured out what
he is really all about and it ain’t hope and change. He is
completely out of step with the country and his vision is beyond
flawed. Criticizing all his opponents won’t help and criticizing his
own people will only dig the hole deeper.

Being President of the United States is a bit different than being
a community rabble rouser. It’s different than voting “Present” in
the Illinois State Senate and the U.S. Senate. It is more than
standing in front of adoring crowds, preaching to the chorus from
prepared speeches that lacked any substance, whatsoever.

Being President means that somewhere along the line, the wheat gets
separated from the chaff.

The problem for the President…is that most people now realize he
isn’t much of a baker. He may have all of the ingredients he needs,
but he isn’t very good at putting them together. His cakes are dry,
his cookies are too hard and his bread doesn’t rise.

You can talk about the other bakery all day long, but that won’t get
people back to yours.

Speaking of real baked goods, you can compensate for a lot of their
saturated fats with a couple of extra softgels of my Powerhouse
Omega Formula. That’s what I do, when I have a yen for some tasty
pastries, as the occasional off-program treat. It won’t stop the
extra calories, but it will help to balance your blood lipids. As
long as it’s just occasional, you CAN have your cake and eat it,
too:

I’ll be back tomorrow with more.

With my best wishes for your optimum health,
