Pundits are beginning to surmise that President Obama may be intentionally leading this country into a depression. Rush Limbaugh has been saying this for months, although most people have not taken his thesis seriously. But then Jennifer Rubin concurred in a blog she wrote for Commentary Magazine.
(I'm currently researching whether this is the same Jennifer Rubin as the retired actress. Developing...)
Most recently, Jean Kaufman, of The Weekly Standard, today asserted the same accusation: that the intent of actions by the Fed and the Treasury Department are by deliberate design, purposefully downsizing America's economy and consumption of global resources, and therefore lowering our living standards.
Kaufman goes on to cite Obama's doubts about the integrity of our Constitution. She cites Obama's Obama's global apology tour, lambasting our nation's history of protecting America's interests around the world. Consider this in context with the prevailing ideology among Obama's circles and academia that the United States selfishly consumes an unfair and disproportionate share of the world's resources.
According to the LA Times, Rahm Emmanuel advocates to "never allow a crisis to go to waste." In other words, seize on people's fear of bad times to justify more government programs coming to the rescue.
This is not the first we have seen of such Machiavellian guile from the Oval Office. Indeed, 9/11 was the perfect opportunity for the Bush Administration to justify invading Iraq, an agenda that his administration had labeled "Topic A" just ten days after his inauguration--eight months before that fatal day in September.
Granted, it is difficult to know exactly the deep motives behind any leader's actions. However, by placing all the pieces of this puzzle together, the case that President Obama, at the helm of our economy, might be deliberately charting a course toward an iceberg of economic catastrophe, may begin to gather traction as the Obama presidency proceeds.
