In Defense of President Obama

Moderation has never produced greatness. The most noteworthy accomplishments of George W. Bush resulted from his implementation of policies his gut told him were correct. He knew the world would be a safer place if he attacked Iraq. And he was right.

Look at Ronald Reagan; one of the greatest presidents of all time. He didn't compromise with the left. He did what he had to do to end communism. His own staff advised him not to utter the line, "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!" But Mr. Reagan smartly didn't listen.

Because the American people were naive enough to elect Mr. Obama president; he should ignore the polls and implement every single far-left policy congress will allow.

Of course, in the case of our current president, his uber-liberalism will likely result in only one-term in the Oval Office due to the undeniable fact that America is not a far left country. But when he returns to Chicago in January of 2013, he will at least be happy about the socialist programs he was able to implement. The majority of Americans will look at his entire term as a failure, but his vision of fairness and success differs from the rest of the citizenry.

President Obama believes wealth should be redistributed. He believes government should correct the great many wrongs produced by the United States Constitution. He believes a history that indicates socialism produces nothing but misery should be ignored because his smile will somehow make people achieve just as much despite there being no opportunity for reward.

If America elects a far-right president, and, after a few months in office, polls say the American people would like to see their commander in chief move toward the center, I would encourage the exact opposite.

Of course in my case I would be encouraging more liberty for my fellow Americans, whereas Mr. Obama is doing his best to stifle freedom.

But the bottom line is: elections have consequences, and it's not the fault of Mr. Obama that the American people didn't take the time to learn he was a far-left zealot before casting their ballot.

So, Mr. Obama, even though pushing through your radical leftist agenda will result in a short stay in the White House; I say keep pushing, because, when a conservative is elected president in 2012, I will insist he or she push through a right-wing agenda despite desperate cries of injustice from the esteemed blog roster of the Huffington Post.

Thankfully staying farther to the right will likely produce an additional term, because, when the first four years are complete, no American will have the ability to argue with success.
