Oh my gosh, isn’t it sad when the truth particularly zings to the heart of the OWS matter?

P.S.
This is the 48th anniversary of the slaying of President John Fitzgerald Kennedy, on November 22nd of 1963. And we still don’t have the full truth regarding his assassination in Dallas on that day.
Also: Happy Birthday to my good friend, Richard Keith Carson from Vashon Island, Washington!
Finally, the truth is out: Mr Obama runs his administration like your average teenager.
As Mr Matthews says:
There’s nothing to root for. What are we trying to do in this administration? Why does he want a second term? Would he tell us? What’s he going to do with his second term? More of this? Is this it? Is this as good as it gets? Where do we go? Are we going to do something the second term? He has yet to tell us.
He has not said one thing about what he’d do in his second term. He never tells what he’s going to do with reforming our healthcare systems, Medicare, Medicaid, how he’s going to reform Social Security. Is he going to deal with long term debt? How? Is he going to reform the tax system? How? Just tell us.
Why are we in this fight with him? Just tell us, Commander, give us our orders and tell us where we’re going. Give us the mission. And he hasn’t done it.
And I think it’s the people around him. Too many people like little kids with propellers on their heads. They’re all virtual. This social networking — I get these e-mails — you probably get them, I’m tired of getting them. Stop giving them to me. I want to meet people.
Their idea of running a campaign is in the virtual universe of sending e-mails around to people. No it’s not. It’s meetings with people. It’s forging alliances. It’s White House meetings and dinner parties that go on until midnight. And he should be sitting late at night now, with senators and members of Congress and governors working together on how they’re going to win this political fight that’s coming.
I don’t have a sense that he’s ever had a meeting. I hear stories that you will not believe. Not a single phone call since the last election. They don’t call. He never calls. That’s the message. Members of Congress, I keeping asking: ‘when did you hear from him last?’ (silence) He doesn’t like their company. That’s a problem, by the way.”
DEMORAT POLLSTERS: OBAMA SHOULD ABANDON A SECOND TERM
And this from the National Journal:
President Obama should abandon his run for a second term and turn over the reins of the Democratic Party to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, two one-time Democratic pollsters wrote in Monday’s Wall Street Journal, which appeared online Sunday.
Patrick H. Caddell and Douglas E. Schoen argued that just as Harry Truman and Lyndon Johnson decided not to pursue additional runs though they could have, Obama should do the same.
“He should abandon his candidacy for re-election in favor of a clear alternative, one capable not only of saving the Democratic Party, but more important, of governing effectively and in a way that preserves the most important of the president’s accomplishments. He should step aside for the one candidate who would become, by acclamation, the nominee of the Democratic Party: Secretary of State Hillary Clinton,”Caddell and Schoen wrote.
Because, right now, there are nothing but kids sitting at the adults’ table in the White House.

Cloward-Piven Strategy.
Frances Fox Piven.It’s nothing more than the enacting of the Cloward-Piven Strategy in a “grass roots” fashion, enabled by the American DEM/MSM, as well as by the very agencies they seek to destroy.
More pointedly:
To so overload “the system” — by having to deal with the OWS antics, their marches, their violence, their public health issues, their crime, their obstructions — that the system is crushed from within. That is to say: in order to crush the system so that it can be rebuilt in the stylings of Leftists and Socialists.
And yet the bulk of city, county, state and federal government bureaucrats lack the mental capacity and horsepower to determine that the condoning of these actions clearly enables a continuing and ever-building major public health crisis, but is purposely taxing governments on every level with unnecessary attention and spending, diverting the funds and services from actual taxpayers.
And further: making the lives of those persons who live, work, or own a business in the areas affected are inconvenienced, disrupted or affected to the very fullest.
I wrote about the Cloward-Piven Strategy here, back in 2009, before Glenn Beck picked it up.
The Cloward-Piven Strategy is named after Columbia University sociologists Richard Andrew Cloward and Frances Fox Piven. Their goal was to overthrow capitalism by overwhelming the government bureaucracy with entitlement demands. The created crisis provides the impetus to bring about radical political change.
Cloward and Piven published an article in the May 2nd, 1966 issue of The Nation, entitled “The Weight of the Poor: A Strategy to End Poverty.” A PDF version of that specific article is here. And from there an entirely new concept for the destruction of this country was born. For a detailed explanation, you must read this article.
Both Cloward and Piven cited Mr Alinsky as inspiration for their works.
We already know that Mr Obama’s Chief of Staff, Rahm Emanuel, has said that “you never want a serious crisis to go to waste.”

And again, as I wrote here, it’s absolutely no mistake that the survivor of the C-PS, Frances Fox Piven, has attended OWS events:
That said, this overview of the C-PS is worth watching:
Because THIS is the belief of too much of the electorate:
Unfortunately, those persons with the IQ of an average houseplant can indeed vote in this country.
And the violence currently seen at any and all of the OCCUPY movement camps? Backed by Frances Fox Piven because it’s simply a strategy:
In a little-known video, here was one predominant reason for voting for Mr Obama.
Another reason for having voted for Obama:
“Too late to vote for the white guy?”
Cloward-Piven and OCCUPY? What do you think?

Certainly a long post title, but accurate. Because Mr Obama is the smartest man ever:
Robert at American & Proud notes that talk show host Michael Medved featured an author on his show who wrote a book stating that Mr Obama was simply the best president. Period.
As you attempt to wrap your head around that warped concept, let me get with the specifics. The book, by author Frank J Fleming, is entitled “Obama: The Greatest President in the History of Everything.” I suppose that about sums it up. And published just in time for Mr Obama’s re-election campaign.
As Robert writes, part of the product description indicates:
Oh, but Barack Obama was no mere man. He was a paragon of intelligence and civilized society. A savior to the world’s depressed. A lightbringer. A genius thinking thoughts the common man could never hope to comprehend. And his words — his beautiful words read from crystal panes — reached down to our souls and told us all would be well. With the simple act of casting a ballot for Barack Obama, we could make the world an immeasurably better place — a world of peace, of love, of understanding, of unicorns, of rainbows, of expanded entitlements. This was his promise. And now, having had him as president for more than two years, we can say without reservation that he has delivered all his promises and more and is the best president this country — or any country — has ever had or could even imagine to have.
The book can be purchased through Amazon for the massive price of $1.99 on Kindle.
Though a nicely-accomplished parable, the truly sad portion is this: way too many people really think this way.
On that note, how about another video:
Because the smartest president in the history of our nation has directed the USDA to not only kill 200,000 jobs, but continue to ensure that America will not become energy independent by relying more on its own innate resources.
From The Washington Examiner:
President Obama’s United States Department of Agriculture has delayed shale gas drilling in Ohio for up to six months by cancelling a mineral lease auction for Wayne National Forest (WNF). The move was taken in deference to environmentalists, on the pretext of studying the effects of hydraulic fracturing.
The Ohio Oil and Gas Energy Education Program (OOGEEP) recently estimated that drilling in the Utica shale, which is affected by the suspension of the mineral lease auctions, would produce up 204,500 jobs by 2015. [Update: the USDA estimates that the creation of only a few dozen to 200 jobs will be delayed by this study.]
“The President’s plan is to simply say ‘no’ to new energy production,” House Natural Resources Committee chairman Doc Hastings, R-Wash, said to Interior Secretary Ken Salazar during a hearing pertaining to hydraulic fracturing. “It’s a plan that is sending American jobs overseas, forfeiting new revenue, and denying access to American energy that would lessen our dependence on hostile Middle Eastern oil.”
Certainly, it’s fine that Mr Obama sends money to Brazil in order to enable their oil drilling whilst — at the same time — negating further oil drilling off our coasts and on our own sovereign soil. Mr Obama said to Brazil: “We want to help you with the technology and support to develop these oil reserves safely. And when you’re ready to start selling, we want to be one of your best customers.”
Yes indeed, people. Clearly, the finest president ever — not just in the history of our nation, but of the planet itself. So calm, so composed.
And whose Socialist and anti-Capitalist philosophy still won’t let him harvest our own abundance.
BZ
P.S.
On a final serious note: the report — linked next — indicates that the US has the greatest oil reserves on the planet. Untapped. Please read.
Addendum: should we decide to kill the Canadian/US Keystone oil pipeline, the Chinese have indicated to Canada that they are interested. Canada will sell to China if the Unites States isn’t motivated or declines. And Mr Obama will do his level best to ensure we’re oil-starved by killing this proposed pipeline.
And the lyrics:
I called up my friend LeRoy on the phone
I said, “Buddy, I’m afraid to be alone
‘Cause I got some weird ideas in my head
About things to do in Denver when you’re dead”I was workin’ on a steak the other day
And I saw Waddy in the Rattlesnake Cafe
Dressed in black, tossing back a shot of rye
Finding things to do in Denver when you dieYou won’t need a cab to find a priest
Maybe you should find a place to stay
Some place where they never change the sheets
And you just roll around Denver all dayThen LeRoy says there’s something you should know
Not everybody has a place to go
And home is just a place to hang your head
Dream up things to do in Denver when you’re deadYou won’t need a cab to find a priest
Maybe you should find a place to stay
Some place where they never change the sheets
And you just roll around Denver all dayYou just roll around Denver all day
