The Resurrection of Saint Obama
Many Christians celebrated the resurrection of their Lord
and Savior about a month ago on Easter Sunday. The man who many consider to be the Democrats’
messiah, Former President Barack Obama, resurfaced late last month following a
well-deserved vacation with billionaire Virgin Airlines founder Richard Branson.
(Wait, I thought the Republicans were the party of the rich).
He made his first public appearance since leaving the White
House at the University
of Chicago
Obama’s disciples were not happy to learn that he agreed to
speak to Wall Street firm Cantor Fitzgerald for a $400,000 fee. Taking money from Wall Street is heresy in the
church of liberalism. Obama spent his political career lambasting those who did
so. Even Elizabeth Warren, one of his
potential successors, has criticized him for his apparent 180.
Most recently, Obama delivered a speech at the JFK
Presidential Library; after receiving the Profile in Courage award in his
honor. It did not take long before Obama
went into full lecture mode. He took a
veiled jab at the American right, mentioning how “Our politics remains filled
with division and discord, and everywhere we see the risk of falling into the refuge
of tribe and clan and anger at those who don’t look like us or have the same
surnames or pray the way we do.” But he
neglects to mention that it is the American left who falls into the refuge of
tribe and clan and anger at those who don’t think like they do. Apparently, he’s never heard of safe spaces.
He was briefly critical of his own party, saying “Those of
us who consider ourselves, those of us who are Democrats, we’ve got some
soul-searching to do to see what kind of courage we show. We have our own dogmas.” He brought up those left-wing dogmas
throughout his speech; mentioning climate change, dreamers, and all of the
wonderful things Obama Care has done for our country.
It seems very unlikely that the left will take Obama’s “soul-searching
advice.” The Democrats are clinging to
their dogmas harder than a little boy clinging to his mother on the first day
of kindergarten. The party has made it
clear that its pro-choice stance is non-negotiable; even causing Chris Matthews
to admit that this extreme position on abortion might have repelled voters who
may have otherwise voted for the Democrats in the 2016 election. I have not checked with Chris Matthews to see
if the speech Obama gave at the JFK library gave him a thrill up his leg.
So what’s next for Obama’s disciples? It appears as if they are going to spend every
day between now and January 20, 2021; “resisting” President Trump; whom they
believe to be the second-coming of Hitler or Satan. Strangely enough, many of Obama’s disciples
are responsible for the election of Trump; as they either did not vote in the
2016 General Election or supported a third-party candidate such as the Green
Party’s Jill Stein. Obama’s disciples
were not nearly as enthusiastic about Hillary Clinton as they were about the “chosen
one.” Had they held their nose and voted
for her, their votes may have made the difference in the closest of swing
states including Michigan , Pennsylvania ,
and Wisconsin
The Resurrection of Saint Obama confirms that he is not going
to sail off into the sunset and take up oil painting. He is going to remain an active voice in the
Democratic Party, which is moving further and further to the left. In twenty years, Obama may be considered a
moderate Democrat. Still, it appears as
if he will retain the title of messiah to many liberal Americans for years to
come.
