Who
knew that our own president was a magician? First, he earned the Nobel Peace
Prize for doing nothing. I guess pot smoking, public nudity and anti-American
sentiment is all you need these days to earn an award given to such honorable people
as Mother Theresa. Job numbers are down, unemployment is up, there is no plan
for the next 4 years, we have no federal budget, our foreign policy is schizophrenic
and the dollars is in the crapper. And despite all of this Obama’s approval
rating still is above 40%. Now that’s the real magic! How could he do nothing
right and still have any approval rating at all?
Maybe
I can figure it out. What I learned about doing a real good illusion is a concept
called misdirection. By definition misdirection is a form of deception
in which the attention of an audience is focused on one thing in order to
distract its attention from another. Well, I think that might just be the key.
During the beginning of his tenure as president he misdirected all his failures
towards President Bush, blaming him for the tanking economy and continued
recession. More recently it looks like he used that same misdirection trick to disguise
his abysmal tenure as president by blaming Greece, Europe’s financial instability
and the Republican’s inability to pass any his bills. However, when he had
control of both houses the only thing he was able to pass was an unconstitutional
bill that would bankrupt the country.
It also seems the media has picked up on this trick. Take
for instance the Catholic Church. Instead of properly reporting Obama’s hatred
towards the church and the justified laws suits he is facing from them, the
media instead cover the airways with stories of priest’s sexual misconducts. I
understand Obama hates the Catholic Church but does that mean the news media
has to also?
However, he’s attempting to use his last bit of
misdirection to get himself re-elected. Because he certainly can’t run his
campaign based upon his horrific record, he instead turned people’s attention
to Governor Romney. Using the media as if it were a government run propaganda
machine, he has done everything to discredit and vilify his opponent and wife. The
problem with this strategy is that Governor Romney actually has really strong
credentials. He is an excellent businessman, governor, statesman and father. He
was not a drug abuser, school skipper or deadbeat. Thus, Obama has turned to
lies and other untruths in order to continue his misperception.
Well Mr. Obama, I’ve watched the FOX series Magic Biggest
Secrets Finally Revealed and know what you’re doing. It’s just a matter of time
the whole country comes to their senses and realize what a disaster the last
few years have been with you in the White House.
