Tom DeLay: Obama Faces Armageddon

by JASmius

Funny, I thought the Hammer was talking about O's Russia policy floundering:

President Barack Obama has lost all credibility with his disastrous Affordable Care Act and bungled foreign policy — and Americans will punish him at the polls this fall, former House Majority Leader Tom DeLay says.

Delay was reacting to Obama's claim that the ACA had reached its April 1st goal of seven million signups, proving his healthcare law's opponents were wrong, Obama said, because "Armageddon has not arrived."

"His Armageddon is coming in November [with] these midterm elections and then again in 2016," DeLay told "The Steve Malzberg Show" on Newsmax TV.

"The American people have lost all confidence in this president, they've lost trust in him. He has no credibility.

"The reason people are against ObamaCare is they don't want the federal government to be involved in their healthcare, or in their lives. He just doesn't get it," DeLay said Wednesday.

Sorry, Tom, but it's you who doesn't "get it," and Barack Obama that does.  He's not blind; he can read polls just like the rest of us.  He knows that ObamaCare has never been popular and has become lethally toxic since it was implemented six months ago.  He simply does not care.  He's an orthodox Marxist-Alinskyist, he believes he is a god, his party is his apostles, the State is his church, and ObamaCare is his Great Commission - "Go out into the country and make patients of all Americans, enslaving them in the name of Godbama, The One, and the Holy Prompter.  Amen."

Think about it.  Fallen human nature resists the Gospel; most Americans resist the idea of the federal government dictating their health care.  So they must be forcibly "evangelized" until they are "converted".  Again, it isn't O that doesn't "get it"; in his mind it's all of us who are clueless, lost, and....rebellious.  His will is to crush that rebelliousness and drag us into line.  And ObamaCare is his "paddle".

But that will come later, after the 2014 midterms, one way or the other.  Right now he wants to avert that electoral "Armageddon," and that was the purpose of his "7.1 million enrollments" April Fool's joke.  He needed something to turn the page from the ObamaCare disaster narrative of the past half year.  Colossally striding into the Rose Garden and proclaiming that their enrollment goal had been met, on time, turns that corner towards success, no matter how bogus, dishonest, and fraudulent it is.  Why?  Because he knows that LIVs and NIVs - the numbnuts who fell for his bovine scatology not once, but twice, meaning they're insatiably "skinnable" - will hear his words, read the headlines, and never probe any deeper than that.  They lost their jobs?  He'll give 'em welfare.  They lost the health insurance plans they liked?  He'll give 'em Medicaid.  And they'll believe him and his media propagandists and not us.  Mission accomplished.

Sound too pessimistic?  Consider this: What does the boast of meeting ObamaCare's first-year enrollment objective seek to convey?  (1) That the program is popular after all, since Americans are signing up for it in droves (never mind that most are doing so because the program took away the old plans that they had and liked), and (2) that the program is entrenched, just like its older siblings Social Security and Medicare, beyond any realistic possibility of repeal.  Which is to say, if Democrat electoral "Armageddon" cannot be averted this November, Barack Obama is laying the groundwork for deterring a unified Republican Congress from even considering ObamaCare repeal a year from now, thus killing it for good as an issue in 2016.

Assuming that O has any plans on leaving, of course.

So you see, Hammer, The One "gets it," alright.  It's long past time for us to start giving him that credit, instead of self-defeatingly underestimating him as an enemy at every turn.

This is why I thought the "Armageddon" reference was to O's Russia policy.  Here, the ex-House Majority Leader posits a saliently plaintive lament:

DeLay also expressed dismay at what he says is Obama's passive approach to dealing with Russian President Vladimir Putin's aggressive push into Ukraine.

"I don't know what we’re going to do for the next two-and-a-half years of this president being president. Foreign policy is in the toilet, Russia is running wild," he said.

"Who knows what North Korea is going to do now with South Korea. It's starting to break open, and this president's still president and will be for another two-and-a-half years. It's scary."

It's kind of like having front row seats at a disaster movie epic, except that it's in 4D (i.e. it's real), the promos are an endless series of Obama speeches and pressers, you have no idea when the "movie" will start, but when it does, everybody in the theater is going to perish.  Oh, yes, and all the exit doors are welded shut.

Pity the Avengers were only in 3-D.  All they had to fight off were Loki and the Chitauri.
