The mythical "Fat Lady" has joined the immortal soul of the Late Roy Orbison in a rousing rendition of the classic tune, "It’s Over".
Eight years of the Bush - Cheney - Wall Street Gang Rape of the United States and virtually all of her citizens has cast the Bush Legacy in concrete as one which reserves this President’s place at a "Table for One" which will seat the single poorest excuse for a Chief Executive in the history of this once Great Nation.
And still, in his very first meeting with President-Elect Barack Obama, George W. Bush endeavors to once more display the kind of contempt for America, American ideals and values, and American Middle Class Workers which has dismantled his entire political party, significantly reduced American influence throughout even the community of civilized nations, and resulted in every major book publisher taking a pass on the Personal Memoirs of a retiring two-term President of The United States.
In the face of the worst financial crisis in the history of the Republic, even taking into account the 1st Great Depression, Mr. Bush has made it clear that he seeks to use his ability to hold U.S. Automakers, American Workers, and the entire country hostage for at least the next two months, unless the New President, and his Democratic Colleagues in the Congress consent to one final "greasing up" in order to receive yet another "free trade agreement"...this time in support of Bush – Cheney cronies currently operating with impunity inside the borders of the nation of Columbia.
President-Elect Obama has repeatedly indicated that he could not support a free trade agreement with Columbia, so long as any such agreement failed to address issues relating, not only to trade union organization, labor standards in general and other environmental protection...but also, until the government of Columbia discontinued its active support of the ongoing targeting and mass murder of Columbian citizens engaged in trade union organizing and representation of Columbian Workers.
It is not much of a secret anymore, that during the Bush Presidency, the United States has had more military and CIA personnel stationed in Columbia, legally and illegally, than in much of Southeast Asia during the run-up to the Viet Nam War...or the various expansions of that conflict. Likewise, it should come as no surprise to anyone that Mr. Bush has long promised the Columbians that he would personally secure the financial future of yet another American Puppet Regime, in a region which for the most part continues to reject any enhanced support for the Bush – Cheney version of a doctrine made famous, originally, by President James Monroe.
As a result, on the very first Post-Election visit to what will soon become "The O-bama Office," Mr. Bush has expressed a clear and committed semi-pseudo willingness to provide relief to troubled U.S. Automakers, save perhaps hundreds of thousands of additional U.S. jobs held by Middle Class Americans already facing mounting credit card debt, threat of home mortgage foreclosure and the loss of pension and health care benefits...IF, and ONLY IF...the very first Official Act of a President who was elected on a Blood Oath Promise to CHANGE the way business is done in Washington, is to strike a deal with this lame duck scumbag, which places the interests of Columbian Political Hacks, ahead of the intersts of hard working Americans and their families.
Joe Biden was totally wrong.
It would not be six months before President Barack Obama would be tested. And, his first "test" would not come from Al-Qaeda.
President-Elect Obama is being tested less than one week after his historic election victory, and months before he is even sworn in...and, this test comes form none other than the "man" who last took the same Oath to "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of The United States...and its Citizens...against all enemies, foreign and domestic."
Apparently..."murderous Columbian thugs" don’t show up in Mr. Bush’s definition of a foreign enemy. History, on the other hand, will more than make certain that "George W. Bush" will be remembered by roughly 73% of his own countrymen and women...as the single greatest domestic threat this Nation has been caused to endure since General Benedict Arnold attempted to surrender West Point to the British.
Your first test is upon you President Obama. Do you stand for the Change which secured your place in recorded history? Or, will you function in a vacuum of political expedience, the likes of which have served as the ebb and flow of the Washington Experience, since General Arnold sold his nation out for an annual pension from King George, of less than $800?
The choice is yours, Mr. President-Elect. And, it will not be an easy choice...given the Economic State of the Union, and the entire world. I will have confidence in you. However, for what it may or may not be worth, I suggest proceeding with more than the utmost of caution. You may not be the Messiah, or sent to this world by Jor-El to save Planet Earth...but, you made 65,000,000 people across every racial, cultural and generational boundary line, believe in you, and what you claim to stand for. We stood with you...and many of us would be willing to stand directly in front of you...regardless of what might be headed in your direction.
All the world needs to now know the true heart and soul of the Barack Obama which we voted for...knocked on doors for, made phone calls for, gave $20 in support of, suffered for, verbally, physically, or in emotional battles with family and friends who may not have believed without a little coaxing. We need THAT Barack Obama, in the course of his very first test of wills, to show himself to be the person who will stand with US...and neither sacrifice his principles, nor even compromise those principles...in any form or fashion.
Will you stand with us, Mr. President?
Or, will you offer up the same kind of tired old political "two step" that could only have been invented in Texas?
I do not envy you...but, I do need to know that your first official act will not be to directly contradict a campaign promise which was NOT at the top of my own list of things I intended to hold you to. For, if you are willing to immediately move off of even that commitment...how will you remain true in the face of a more substantial dilemma?
