If it’s not quite fair to say that Obama’s legacy is death, it’s certainly fair to say that Obama is the extreme logical conclusion of policies that the Democrats have followed for years.
And “He came in peace,” isn’t just ironical now, it’s prophetical.
Because there is no peace, either at home or abroad, exactly as the Martian movies predicted there would be none, even especially when they said they came in peace.
Obama, as the epitome of the Left’s multiculturalism, anger, division and destruction, wages war here at home on wages and the workingman, while encouraging war overseas.
Both policies result in death, both figuratively and literally.
I fear that historians will look back at the Obama administration’s disfigurement of today’s labor force and point to this as the beginning of the end of the American workingman. And workingwoman too.
The incentives to hire workers are so few, the risks so high that more and more companies are figuring out how to replace workers with automation or do without them at all.
And in the place of working America, Obama is constructing an urban poverty state with the logical conclusion being places like Chicago and Detroit, with some areas in those cities being quite literally as uninhabitable as parts of Syria, Afghanistan or Iraq fighting a civil war.
And in failed city-states like Chicago the local newspapers count the death toll by day, and sometimes by the hour.
To pay for this perpetual poverty program which progressives call paradise, Obama has cut American commitments abroad, his critics say.
Poverty, it turns out, is a very expensive thing to maintain in the USA.
Yet overseas, American-sponsored wars seem to be spreading.
Now in Libya, now in Syria, now in Afghanistan, Iraq and Pakistan, death is more common thanks to American policies that often put the country on the wrong side of the right-and-wrong business.
Even Ukraine, where we are supposed to be upholding an ally in that sovereign state, we seem to be doing everything we can to help our opponent win.
That more death, more destruction is the result overseas, either doesn’t matter to the president or, more alarmingly is thought of by him as a benefit.
Because he either means to do this, or he doesn’t.
Either he doesn’t understand that the consequences of his economic policies at home are leading to the death of the workingman, or he understands it very well.
He either understands that his neglectful, unfocused, increasingly bizarre foreign policy is seen worldwide as neglectful, unfocused, increasingly bizarre, and thus leading America’s opponents to take bigger and bigger risks at the expense of peace, or he’s playing some deeper game that we can’t suspect.
In either case it time for Americans on both sides of the aisle to stop giving the man the benefit of affirmative action.
Obama’s legacy is death, without regard to race, or religion.
And so then is America’s legacy.
And we either mean to do that, or we don’t.
