No matter how much Barack Hussein Obama may cling to the childish belief that no one can see him if only he covers his own eyes, and despite the success he achieved in getting elected, more and more people have slowly emerged from the cocoon of slumber to realize that they now see someone for whom they never intended to vote. And the farther we march into history - leaving scattered days and jagged pages torn from calendars in our wake - the more mild surprise is being rapidly replaced by a more palpable horror.
Like a sci-fi movie alien cleverly disguised in humanoid form for far too long, Obama's true identity is straining the limits of the slick veneer in growing impatience to attain freedom, bubbling ugly in revolting rivulets just beneath the surface. And some of us - just as those select characters in the same movie - have always seen the creature beneath, but our warnings were dismissed as ludicrous even though we have always known of the crunchy, Marxist core deep within.
I have long been astounded that a simple pair of horn-rimmed glasses were more than adequate in keeping people from realizing that Clark Kent was actually Superman but, in retrospect, I see now how easy it is to fool the willing. Or the hopeful. People want to believe that they can make cleaning easy for only $9.95 (plus shipping and handling), and that if they call right now, they can get twice the value for their money (plus a doubling-down on the shipping and handling). The lure of the bargain has always masked the true cost, and it has always been the nature of a business whereby the charlatan causes the citizen to part ways with his cash.
The currency with which we now gamble, however, is nothing so trivial as the trinkets we have accumulated through our labors. The stakes have been raised, the ante is liberty, and we now have a dealer of most ill repute. No one genuinely cared to know whatever personal frailties afflicted, say, Billy Mays, just as those who have invested their futures in Obama find it nearly impossible to realize that they've been duped. And like a slingshot effect, those who have had to come the farthest toward that realization do so with a fury that eclipses the relatively mild disdain that the knowing have long harbored.
Those of us who sounded the alarms loudest in the campaign of 2008 saw Obama in a grass skirt, when he was truly transparent, albeit unintentionally. Many who voted for him are now shocked that Obama in the ghillie suit - which they mistook for a pile of crumpled grass - has sprung up right in front of them.
It's all a matter of perception; some see clearly, others need time to adjust their focus. But for most, as the polls now reveal, the picture is becoming quite sharp. It's about time.

A Ghillie Suit Or A Grass Skirt

Obama's Divinity Revoked
Divinity may only be revoked by man when it is first manufactured by him.
It would appear that Barack Obama, the darling of the media and what was billed to be an overwhelming majority of liberal Americans, is shedding support faster that a barnacle-laden whale who manages to somehow leap into the stream of a powerful fire hose. So confident was he that the Saul Alinsky playbook was coming to fruition - and with such ease - that Obama's momentum carried him just a bit too far out of the water, exposing his underbelly to a torrent much greater than the normal currents of motion.
While the people complained bitterly about the rampant spending of the administration and its "stimulus bill", all too often the plaintive wails were muted, conducted in the undercurrent of emails, and arrogantly derided by a leftist machine when they took on the form of actual protests, e.g., the Tea Parties. It wasn't until the allied forces of the Democrats, in what is ostensibly the two most powerful branches of government - the Legislative and the Executive - began to threaten a brazen overhaul of the American health care system, that the people rose up and finally spoke.
Unable to quell the passion of the Town Hall protesters through derision - a classic Alinsky tool, I might add - the administration tried its hand at outright tyrannical measures, setting up a website for people to "snitch" on other people opposed to the coming debacle. When that attempt at suppression through fear succeeded only in stoking the fire in its intended target, the administration realized that it had perhaps bitten off more than it could chew.
The electorate in America has historically been more than willing to give benefit of the doubt to its leaders, whether they voted for a candidate or not, and Obama and his people misread a relatively placid political landscape as ignorance on issues and easy acquiescence to "ideas". They thought that it would either be easy to blast a heinous proposal by us like a Mariano Rivera fast ball or, at the least, brush us off the plate. Neither happened, and it threw the president into a tailspin. While he has been giddily swinging away at softballs, tossed underhand by schoolgirls, the conservative movement has faced him on the mound, dug their cleats in and battled, forcing 20 pitches per batter.
Ordinary citizens have accomplished an extraordinary feat, all without an ounce of blood being spilled. They have derailed a disastrous agenda while battling upstream against the onslaught of Obamania, and the tide of it is ebbing. Once eager to "pass it and pass it fast", the Democrats have succumbed to the resistance they have met, and not only have pushed back the debate until after recess, but have begun to amend the bills currently under consideration.
*Interesting side note: After they scoffed at the Sarah Palin claim of "death panels", the Democrats have removed that provision from the proposal. I would love to hear an explanation of how something that was purported to not exist could then be removed.
Coupled with the increasing number of people declaring themselves to be more conservative, I must offer my hearty congratulations to you, the American People, for your moxie and intense love of country. At first I was petrified that Obama was gong to steamroll us all before we realized we were flattened cartoon characters. Now, with the additional news that the snitch site has been disabled, I feel hope for the first time since November 4th.
