Obama's Magic Button

It doesn’t exist. It never has existed. Disregard any argument to the contrary.

The Barack Obama “Magic Button”, the very one his worshipers believe he has in his possession, the one that he will magically press on January 20, 2009 and make all of our problems disappear, well they are about to learn that they were lied to.

No. Obama didn’t come out and say he had possession of such a button. But he damn sure inferred it. His message of “CHANGE” damn sure inferred it. He was going to change our economy by bucking history and raising taxes and putting in place more government controls. His magic button will allow him to do that, even though history has shown that that higher taxes and government stand in the way of economic growth.

He is going to “CHANGE” the war in Iraq, by pulling our troops out before the job is done. The magic button he possesses will mean that the bad guys will not move back into Iraq and will not have an operations base to deploy from, and of course, it means we will never be attacked again.

He is going to “CHANGE” America by taking us down the road of socialism, much to the glee of his Socialists buddies….and to the dismay of the very independents who voted him into the oval office. Somehow, he has to use his magic button to appease both.

To most rational people (basically, the conservatives), we know there is no magic button. We know that Obama has sold the America people ocean front property in the middle of a desert. But then, we are the ones who reign supreme when it comes to truth and common sense.

If I could have a wish granted to me, I would love to see the looks on his worshipers faces when our economy tanks….when our deficit balloons…when our unemployment hits double digits.   They have their messiah in the oval office now. Wonder how long before they have to start defending him? 

I am predicting that it will take about 6 months for the most astute independent voter to realize the error of their ways. A year tops, and all the independents will be screaming at the top of their lungs for forgiveness.

But the socialists on the left will be still defending him. They will probably use the excuse that things were so bad after the swearing in, that Obama will need time to correct things.

He shouldn’t need time! He has the magic button!

With adversity comes opportunity

I felt bad about the election of Barack Obama for all of about 30 minutes.  Immediately after FOX news called Pennsylvania for Obama, I knew then it was over.  All of my fears of losing the America that I love flooded my thoughts.  I turned the TV off and I talked to God and asked him how he could take my country down this dangerous path.

Almost immediately, I was hit with a bible passage, taught to me from my youth.  Please don't ask me to quote chapter and verse because the passage of years has dimmed my memory.   But to paraphrase, it says that the people in the positions of power, in the entire world, are placed there by GOD himself.

God is on the throne!   He knows what he is doing, even though I haven't a clue.

Then it dawned on me, an old football adage...WITH ADVERSITY COMES OPPORTUNITY.

Two things need to be said about that. 

One, the people of America have become so complacent and spoiled by the prosperity of America since the Ronald Reagan years, that we have forgotten what bad times are all about.  I survived the Jimmy Carter years.   If you didn't, and if you think that these are some bad times, I challenge you to look at what Carters term in the oval office did for us.  Compare the late 70s to today and see if these two eras are comparable.

Two, this is the change for Americans to see what bad times (and bad choices for Presidents) will garner.  With the adversity that is to come under Barack Obama, comes the opportunity for Americans to realize just how conservative they are.

With this newly aquired way of thinking, I woke up yesterday with a new lease on life.  Yes, I know the election is only about 36 hours old, but I am already exploring opportunitiues on being involved with a new conservation revolution in 2010 and an even bigger revolution in 2012.    I immediately wrote my new conservative idol, Mike Huckabee and asked him where do I start?  Where am I needed?  What can I do to be a part of the of the eminent move of this country back to the right?

I am NOT going to be bitter, sad, angry, depressed or wring my hands after Tuesday nights election.  I am going to make lemonade out of  the lemon handed down to us by the American people.   I am going to look at the Obama years and see it as a replay of the Carter years....and look forward to who we will elect in 2012. 

Im a damn proud conservative and I am going to tough it out for the next 4 years.  I will let the Obama worshippers realize for themselves that they fell for a false messiah. 

HUCKABEE-PALIN in 2012!
