What Obama’s critics are failing to see, is that he is a former community organizer; he prefers to work under the radar, starting from the grassroots. Those who are looking at the top layer of the Obama Administration wanting to see the signs of the coming of Socialism/Marxism are going to be disappointed. Those who watched First Lady Hillary Clinton set up little wretched enclaves in all the government agencies to push the policies of the Beijing Platform for Action and those who observed Senator Barack Obama utilize the corrupt Chicago Political Machine and ACORN to build a self-serving, shrewd, disciplined political machine that spread from Chicago throughout the nation will recognize the strategy and tactics of a master manipulator.
Even though they differ on many other fronts, Barack and Hillary are family when it comes to using the government’s legendary “soft power” and the national “bully pulpit” to achieve their personal and political goals. So, while the nation is pacified into thinking that Obama is moving to the center, his cronies who are actually carrying his water will be hard-core “progressives” moving the leftist agenda forward largely out of the public’s sight in the mid-level management positions in all levels of the government’s sprawling bureaucracy. Much of the “real change” will happen behind the scenes in thousands of small decisions and initiatives that will remain nearly invisible until –– like the implosions of our financial systems –– the transformation of their cumulative effects begins to emerge. Then it will be too late for this Nation to recover.
While Obama is filling top slots of his Administration with politicians from the center, his agenda will be thrust forward by the hard-core followers in the lower levels of government who will be able to work under the radar to push his far left ideology. That is the bottom-up strategy that he learned as a community organizer and a strategy that links him with Hillary Clinton, who promoted the feminist goals of the Beijing Platform for Action through various task forces set up in the federal agencies following the U.N.’s Beijing World Conference on Women. Both of these leftist politicians have learned to speak the language of the masses while working behind the scenes on the policies of the radical left’s true believers.
I do not believe that Obama will, himself, immediately run to the “Left” and begin his Socialist agenda. That would alienate a majority of Americans, as well as some of those in his own party. Beyond his projections and deceptions, are the consequences which he plans to avoid? With Socialist policies now part of and in many ways the centerpiece of the Democratic Party disguised as “Political and Economic Justice” and “Investments in our Infrastructure and People”; along with the deaf, dumb, and blind media, Obama will watch as his cronies slowly begin his march to the “Left” and “Socialism”. Some of his supporters, formerly the logical and rational, will be first in line of deceived disappointers expressing remorse. They will awaken from the dream of all the good feelings that attracted them to Obama and face the hard realities of the Socialist agenda they enabled.
