Impeach!

I heard Limbaugh say that we should look past Obama. He is a sacred cow and no matter how guilty he might be it might not be worth it to fight the uphill battle. Better to fight big government liberalism, etc.

There are a couple of reasons I disagree with that. Obama plays by a different set of rules. Who would have believed that six years after he announced his campaign, Barack Obama would still be unvetted. He was completely invisible to his Columbia classmates. He was visible to certain gay men in Chicago who would end up either jailed (Larry Sinclair) or dead (Donald Young.) And we would not learn who financed his pricey education. There are more holes in his biography as well.

Which leads me to believe that Obama has to be viewed through a conspiratorial lens. Someone extremely powerful has pulled strings for this guy. Who? I don't know. Someone with deep pockets. We can speculate but I prefer not to just yet.

Yes, the news media have a left wing bias but they have never been so obsequious. They ratted out Bill Clinton when they realized that Monica Lewinsky could sell newspapers. Contrast the media of fifteen years ago with General Electric, parent company of MSNBC. They are willing to spend big dollars on small audience shows that prop up the administration. Virtually every other American news outlet has cooperated with the Obama agenda with varying degrees of subtlety.

I have a friend I will call H. H is convinced that Obama will attempt the a dictator for life maneuver. Through martial law or some other heavy-handed tactic, Obama would hold onto the reins of power until they pried them from his cold dead fingers.

I used to tell H that he was silly. Now I am not so sure. The force behind Obama has gone to great lengths to emphasize his transcendental nature. Worse, I think Obama has come to believe his own self-generated mythology.

 His transcendentalism and the mental state of his followers is why this blog is called Post Obotomy Syndrome. This is not Red vs. Blue blog or Left v Right blog or some other variation on that theme (although I welcome input on those matters.) The religiosity has to be taken seriously. Until we can "deprogram" Obama's followers, evidence of corruption, tyranny, sleaze and ineptitude will be immaterial.

Emperor Hirohito was hyped as an arahitogami, an incarnate deity. On the Battleship Missouri, he was humanized. We don't need a World War to humanize Barack Obama. Articles of impeachment would do the trick. Follow the IRS abuses upstream and you will find a president who was complicit in the crimes or who did nothing when crimes were committed.  Follow the Benghazi scandal upstream and you will find a president who was at the very best, derelict of duty. At worst, a president who is criminal or possibly has more sympathy for terrorists than for his countrymen. The Benghazi cover-up starts at the top. Not a lot of upstream paddling required.

The mysterious powers who finance the Ivy League home-schooler's network might not let their mythical entity jet into the sunset. Do they think they can get lightning to strike twice in the same bottle? Give Corey Booker a halo and watch the followers swoon? I don't think so.

The mysterious benefactors might have surprised themselves at how well this all worked out for them. Maybe they have gotten used to the levers of power. Do you think they will give up the illusion they have worked so hard to cultivate? I laughed at the idea of martial law or civil war or emergency powers but then again, I never thought an unvetted president and a band of unwavering followers to be possible either.

Despite the boatload of scandal, crime, malfeasance and incompetence, Obama's approval ratings remain high. Attribute that to his followers unique spiritual orientation.To maintain their power, the mysterious benefactors need to continue the illusion of transcendence. It is up to us to show them that their president is a bigger crook than Richard Nixon could ever dream of being. Only the disgrace of impeachment will drive that point home.
