For the second time in office, President Obama has paid a visit to "The Tonight Show" with Jay Leno.
Now trying to shore up support from the 18-49 demographic which swept him to power on the frothy fumes of "hope and change," the Vanity in Chief wants to reinforce the of his modish telegenic aura, now tarnished with the frustrating reality that the Center-Right United States did not invite him to power in order to impose a left-wing mania on the country.
"I'm going to wait until everybody is voted off the island," Obama joked about the GOP nomination process, heating up to deliver a strong challenge to the marred policies of the soon-to-be-one term chief executive. Little does he realize, but Obama is about to be the one cast off.
Why else would he putting in an effort to cull resources from San Francisco?
While promoting his role in bringing down the Libya dictator Moammar Gadhafi, Obama crowed, "We gave him ample opportunity [to loosen his grip on power], and he wouldn't do it." "I think it sends a strong message around the world to dictators that people long to be free, and they need to respect the human rights and universal aspirations of the people."
Now, where have we heard this lofty rhetoric before?
"All who live in tyranny and hopelessness can know: the United States will not ignore your oppression, or excuse your oppressors. When you stand for your liberty, we will stand with you.
"Democratic reformers facing repression, prison, or exile can know: America sees you for who you are: the future leaders of your free country.
"The rulers of outlaw regimes can know that we still believe as Abraham Lincoln did: “Those who deny freedom to others deserve it not for themselves; and, under the rule of a just God, cannot long retain it.”
"The leaders of governments with long habits of control need to know: To serve your people you must learn to trust them. Start on this journey of progress and justice, and America will walk at your side."
Straight out of the mouth of the previous chief executive, President George W. Bush, President Obama has promoted the same policies without batting an eyelash, yet also without according credit where credit is due for his current successes.
Despite his overweening arrogance to assume that he has any chance of getting reelected next year, he is campaigning on the same foreign policy that got his predecessor, and rival party, into power for four more years. Running as a Republican to secure his Democratic base is one sure means for President Obama to self-destroy his vain ambition to continue his tired and tried legacy of statism, and left-wing lunacy.
