And only God knows if he will be able to safely wade to the other side. Many predict he will sink into the deep valley before he makes the tenth stride-on this you can hear some republicans engage in guarded celebrations. Indeed others have already started preparing a casket for the president and other now ‘hated’ democrats.
Obama came into office riding on an exaggerated but promising message that he as the worldly ‘Messiah’ that Americans had been waiting for long would deliver them from all the evils bedeviling them. It has not happened. And most Americans have bitterly realised that their talisman was human after all.
One problem with a mortal being trying to emulate Jesus Christ is the inability to deliver. However eloquent, good-looking, hopeful, and suave a man is, he won’t be able to rid fellow beings of uncountable sins and, often unachievable desires. The best he can do is serve those under him with well spiced disillusionment and cap it with dissatisfaction as a dessert, and cynicism as a drink. After the three-piece meal, he takes them for a walk on the sides of a deep dark valley that’s home to all sorts of despair and hatred.
That’s what has happened to His Excellency, just giving him a taste of it otherwise it’s sinful in this country to worship presidents, Barrack Obama. He is in a very difficult situation. None, not even his Nobel Prize sympathizers, can help. In less than two years, his YES WE CAN slogan which was laced with hope, excitement and unparallel dreams has camouflaged into a resounding NO WE DON’T WANT YOU chorus coated with hatred, disgust and extreme disbelief on the black man’s policies.
Obama has tried. He has delivered some frameworks Americans will remember him for. The Health Care law, he assented to with joyous aura few months after he took office among others, though have been progressive, have endeared him to antagonists who see him as being a socialist targeting the slave-minded elites and letting go the over-exploited poor.
The Republicans, their dislike for Obama could be felt in their sweaty noses, and hoarse voices, just like ‘You Lie’ outburst by Congressman Joe Wilson last September murmuring loudly all over, are capitalising on every ‘slip’ and unfulfilled promises by Obama and his democrats lieutenants.
These members, from the Grand Old Party (GOP), best described since Obama took office early 2009 as busybodies out to malign every other move initiated by the man almost qualified as the long-awaited Anti-Christ by some Christians, have been after the very neck of the head of state. They have succeeded to a greater extent and Obama is facing a litany of inadequacies pointed out by the very vibrant Tea Party movement steered by Sarah Palin.
Democrats, on the other hand, have not had the guts to speak out. The strong cornerstones of the ordinarily assumed blue party have not been any helpful. From the powerful State Secretary Hillary Clinton, Senator John Kerry, and others who would have had an easily believable say in the US, have relegated themselves to the very silent of the caves and let Obama fight it out alone. They have been annoyingly aloof, an indication that they may have been afraid of losing ground if they came out fully in support of Obama.
The mid-term elections are a huge challenge to the Obama administration. And as things appear he could be headed out of office in two years before he could fully enjoy the sweetness of the White House, master the Capitol Hill or even cram the secret code to the nuclear armoury.
It’s now almost coming to an abrupt sunset for President Obama.
Just by the way…
*Are President Obama’s woes related to his skin colour? And if so can now the tag World’s ‘Super Power’ tag after the United States be chopped off and fixed on China? I guess it’s only fair because communism is way better than racism. Letting the Americans, who have failed to tame their racist egos, pride further in this tag is gross and repugnant. It’s better if China had it. Don’t you think so?
