Shakedown

Today's question is whether Obama used Chicago style thuggery against BP to force a payout of $20 billion in reparations to those affected by the ongoing oil disaster in the Gulf of Mexico.
The answer is easy. Of course Obama used organized crime tactics against BP because he knows that citizens - especially those directly impacted by the oil spill - are really angry with BP, and by attacking BP Obama is hoping to gain trust and support from angry citizens. In the pro cess, Obama is keeping heat off himself and government for having created the situation leading to the disaster. It is government that forced deep water drilling and it is government that failed to provide proper oversight of the drilling operation. And, why doesn't government take charge of stopping the oil?
Another plus for Obama is the reparations being paid by BP will be doled out by another new government agency, overseen by another Presidential appointed czar. The disaster also provides Obama cause to push for new green legislation that will lead to more growth in government and cost America's citizens a hell-uva lot of $$.
Obama's goal is to become Dictator of America and our ever expanding and growing government is aiding and abetting his scheme.
Millions of voters have their heads in the sand when the question arises as to 'who' is going to pay for a government with a voracious appetite for spending. These same millions of imbeciles are so self centered, so self indulgent, that they don't care, and believe "the rich" will pay. Their lack of intelligence does not make them realize that the income level that separates rich from poor, will become lower and lower as government looks for money to keep solvent. At the present time, 42 cents of every dollar our government takes in, is paid out as interest on our national debt (Fox News. The national debt is rising at an average of $1 MILLION PER MINUTE (incredible)and the progressive liberals running government just keep spending like drunken sailors and keep expanding the size of government.
The greatest puzzlement of all, is why the mainstream media continues its support and promotion of Obama and his progressive agenda. When, and if, Obama achieves his goal of becoming Dictator, or, President for Life, he will have the power to censor the media, and ability to put them out of business if they resist.
I fully understand why public education keeps supporting the liberal progressive agenda. Like our federal government, public education has a voracious appetite for spending and growth. No matter how much money is poured into education, it is never quite enough, and like Oliver Twist's Fagin, education keeps proclaiming, "More, more, I want it all!" Public Ed's mantra is, "It's for the children. More funding is needed for us to provide every child a good education." What a bunch of crap! Political correctness, no discipline, no dress codes, no study requirements, fear of damaging self esteem, self indulgence, and greatest of all; parents who spoil their children, a lack of a father in the household, lack of discipline in the family and lack of moral and religious values, prevent well intentioned educators from educating the children.
I know this post is a downer and sounds horribly pessimistic, but if you really think about the present condition of our nation, you will have to agree with me.
Under Obama and his incompetent administration, the situation is only going to get worse.
