Feints and Counter Feints

If you really want an insight on Obama's strategy, check out Saul Alinsky. Although he was labeled as a communist/socialist (and why the GOP loves labeling Obama that) he had great ideas. He wrote the book "Rules for Radicals" and Obama was inspired by it.

One of the main tenants is: There is no more "fight the power". That gets you killed. Nowadays you work with the power, embrace both sides, promote each side and let the People decide which one is better. Why do you think the GOP looks so particularly toxic right now?

I would bet that the laws (like NDAA) and actions he's taken (like war or bank bailouts) that most of us don't like, were mostly proposed by the right wing. How did we defeat SOPA/PIPA? Because we are now angry enough that the People are more organized than we ever have been.

When a single person attempts all the change, they get popular and they become a target. If he were to have run up the US government like JFK, he would've gotten assassinated quicker than JFK. He's pulling cards by showing their cards. It's up to US to veto the bullshit, so let's get on it.

Feints and Counter Feints............for a Change.

You guys ever notice that Obama enjoys the fact that the world is evolving during his tenure? His comment on Occupy Wall Street was, "They have a reason to be there." He is a black man raised during the birth of the US counter-culture movement. He was born when JFK was elected, and he was 2-years-old when JFK was assassinated. He was seven when Bobby Kennedy died. He became the class president of Harvard because he's the one guy who could unite the conservative and liberal student bodies together. He's a damn nerd that has to dumb it down for public consumption. He's wicked smaat.



I know this is unpopular, but I trust Obama. His actions suggest he's working for the banks, the military and some other nefarious powers, but I bet you this is political strategy for getting We, the People involved in three simple steps:



1. Offer to work with EVERYONE.
2. When unpopular law gets passed, hold those who submitted the bill accountable by letting the People know.
3. If the People begin to march...GOOOOOOOOOOD. He's only the President. He NEEDS the People to back him with what they really want. If the People are behind the law, THAT LAW HAS POWER. It's been too long that most of us just don't care what the government does. This is making us aware, and WE ARE DECIDING TO CARE.



Feints and counter feints.



If he were to run up in the government like JFK, he would have been taken out quicker than JFK. Would that have been smaat? No.

I Still Trust President Obama

I trust Obama because he's running the same strategy that got him to where he is today:

1. Work with the status quo (even tho it's not what his constituents want)
2. Hold them accountable (this is always good)
3. Listen to the people when they are loud enough (Egypt was the precedent. He will follow thru with US when our numbers are big enough)
4. Be flexible when a prior stance no longer applies (instead of being stubborn and rigid like most party presidents, trust the people over the politicians)

I see him being himself in regards to typical Democrat policy, and likewise I see what looks like sucking up to the GOP. He became class president at Harvard by doing this, but he brought the liberals and the conservatives together because he understands how to unite as opposed to dividing.

The USA is so used to "party politics" that it seems odd to watch our president treat the right and the left as friends instead of enemies...we're Americans...people forget that in the political rhetoric that gets carelessly thrown around.

I also notice the INTENSE propaganda being tossed EVERYWHERE.
I also remember...DON'T BELIEVE THE HYPE.

Obama got here by the people, for the people...that doesn't just disappear...unless you buy the hype.

Feints and counter feints...getting into the pit of snakes is difficult enough...smoking them out takes patience and strength.
