Obama’s Second Term
Transformation Plans
The 2012 election has
often been described as the most pivotal since 1860. This statement is not
hyperbole. If Barack Obama is re-elected the United States will never be the
same, nor will it be able to re-capture its once lofty status as the most
dominant nation in the history of mankind.
The overwhelming
majority of Americans do not understand that Obama’s first term was dedicated
to putting in place executive power to enable him and the administration to
fulfill the campaign promise of “transforming America” in his
second term regardless of which political party controls Congress. That is
why his re-election team is virtually ignoring the plight of incumbent or
prospective Democratic Party office holders.
The most significant
accomplishment of Obama’s first term is to make Congress irrelevant. Under
the myopic and blindly loyal leadership of Harry Reid and Nancy Pelosi, the
Democrats have succeeded in creating an imperial and, in a second term, a
potential dictatorial presidency.
During the first two
years of the Obama administration when the Democrats overwhelming controlled
both Houses of Congress and the media was in an Obama worshipping stupor, a
myriad of laws were passed and actions taken which transferred virtually
unlimited power to the executive branch.
The birth of
multi-thousand page laws was not an aberration. This tactic was adopted so
the bureaucracy controlled by Obama appointees would have sole discretion in
interpreting vaguely written laws and enforcing thousands of pages of
regulations they and not Congress would subsequently write.
For example, in the
2,700 pages of ObamaCare there are more than 2,500 references to the
Secretary of Health and Human Services. There are more than 700 instances
when he or she is instructed that they “shall” do something and
more than 200 times when they “may” take at their sole discretion
some form of regulatory action. On 139 occasions, the law mentions that the
“Secretary determines.” In essence one person, appointed by and
reporting to the president, will be in charge of the health care of 310
million Americans once ObamaCare is fully operational in 2014.
The same is true in
the 2,319 pages of the Dodd-Frank Financial Reform Act which confers nearly
unlimited power on various agencies to control by fiat the nation’s
financial, banking and investment sectors. The bill also creates new
agencies, such as the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, not subject to
any oversight by Congress. This overall process was repeated numerous times
with other legislation all with the intent of granting unfettered power to
the executive branch controlled Barack Obama and his radical associates.
Additionally, the
Obama administration has, through its unilaterally determined rule making and
regulatory powers, created laws out of whole cloth. The Environmental
Protection Agency on a near daily basis issues new regulations clearly out of
their purview in order to modify and change environmental laws previously
passed and to impose a radical green agenda never approved by Congress. The
same is true of the Energy and Interior Departments among many others.
None of these
extra-constitutional actions have been challenged by Congress. The left in
America knows this usurpation of power is nearly impossible to reverse unless
stopped in its early stages.
It is clearly the
mindset of this administration and its appointees that Congress is merely a
nuisance and can be ignored after they were able to take full advantage of
the useful idiots in the Democrat controlled House and Senate in 2009-2010
and the Democrat Senate in the current Congress.
Additionally, Barack
Obama knows after his re-election a Republican controlled House and Senate
will not be able to enact any legislation to roll back the power previously
granted to the Executive Branch or usurped by them. His veto will not be
overridden as there will always be at least 145 Democratic members of the
House or 34 in the Senate in agreement with or intimidated by an
administration more than willing to use Chicago style political tactics.
The stalemate between
the Executive and Legislative Branches will inure to the benefit of Barack
Obama and his fellow leftists.
The most significant
power Congress has is the control of the purse-strings as all spending must
be approved by them. However, once re-elected, Barack Obama, as confirmed by
his willingness to do or say anything and his unscrupulous re-election
tactics, would not only threaten government shutdowns but would deliberately
withhold payments to those dependent on government support as a means of
intimidating and forcing a Republican controlled Congress to surrender to his
demands, thus neutering their ability to control the administration through
spending constraints.
Further, this
administration has shown contempt for the courts by ignoring various court
orders, e.g. the Gulf of Mexico oil drilling moratorium, as well as
stonewalling subpoenas and requests issued by Congress. The Eric Holder
Justice Department has become the epitome of corruption as part of the most
dishonest and deceitful administration in American history. In a second term
the arrogance of Barack Obama and his minions will become more blatant as he
will not have to be concerned with re-election.
Who will be there to
enforce the rule of law, a Supreme Court ruling or the Constitution? No one.
Barack Obama and his fellow-travelers will be unchallenged as they run
roughshod over the American people.
Many Republicans and
conservatives dissatisfied with the prospect of Mitt Romney as the nominee
for president are instead focused on re-taking the House and Senate. That
goal, while worthy and necessary, is meaningless unless Barack Obama is
defeated. The nation is not dealing with a person of character and integrity
but someone of single-minded purpose and overwhelming narcissism. Judging by
his actions, words and deeds during his first term, he does not intend to
work with Congress either Republican or Democrat in his second term but
rather to force his radical agenda on the American people through the power
he has usurped or been granted.
The governmental
structure of the United States was set up by the founders in the hope that
over the years only those people of high moral character and integrity would
assume the reins of power. However, knowing that was not always possible,
they dispersed power over three distinct and independent branches as a check
on each other.
What they could not
imagine is the surrender and abdication of its constitutional duty by the
preeminent governmental branch, the Congress, to a tryranicle chief executive
devoid of any character or integrity coupled with a judiciary essentially
powerless to enforce the law when the chief executive ignores them
Conservatives,
Libertarians, the Republican Party and Mitt Romney must come to grips with
this moment in time and their historical role in denying Barack Obama and his
minions their ultimate goal. All resources must be directed at that end-game
and not merely controlling Congress and the various committee chairmanships.

I would add but 6
words to those above mentioned, Conservatives, Libertarians, the Republican
Party and Mitt Romney, to say “and we the American people also”,
must come to grips with this moment in time and our role in denying Barack
Obama his life long goal of “transforming” us into his slaves
working on his government plantation.
Please forward this to
all you can, maybe together we can save America for ourselves and those who
will follow after us.
