The Theatre of Barack Obama: The
Show Must Go On
by Monte Kuliogowski
Excerpt:
If Obama has nothing
to hide, his minimal effort would provide a soothing balm for a divided
country.
I dare to bring up
the eligibility issue to show that once the country broke from reality and
suspended disbelief, common sense was lost along the
way.
Mr. Obama was
shielded from his lack of experience, his own middle name, and the facts of his
training in Indonesia (third-world Islam), Hawaii (Marxism via Frank Marshall
Davis), and Chicago (black grievance via Jeremiah Wright). Since Obama was and
is above the inconvenience of submitting to a controlling legal opinion on the
question of natural-born citizen status or even producing a requested legal
document, what else might he be shielded from?
That is why we have a
president who adds to the national debt like no other, but insists he is
reducing it; wastes tax dollars by the trillions, but preaches about fiscal
responsibility; condemns Bush for illegal torture of terrorists, but
summarily drone-kills suspects (and even an American citizen); stirs up racial
divide with his impetuous remarks, yet is portrayed as a post-racial healer;
ignores laws and Congress when he wants to (see the bombing of Libya without
congressional authorization) but seeks congressional authorization to bomb Syria
because democracy makes us stronger (not because he couldn't gather a
coalition and again surrender U.S. military power to the UN); and on and on the
list goes.
It's surreal. It's
pure madness.
What other U.S.
president ever had a different
foreign identity,
two first relatives in the country illegally, a brother with ties to the Muslim
Brotherhood, and unresolved problems with a host of records relating to his
eligibility?
In order to get to
the core of Obama, an army of brave statesmen would need to rise up and deal
with the real issues. Until then, come hell or high water, the show
must go on -- until that blessed day when the curtains finally close on the
theatre of the absurd.
