Did We Just See Obama Squirm?

Two international occurrences over the past month have given us an interesting insight into President Obama. The first being his initial tepid response to Iranians demonstrating non violently in the streets over a very suspicious election result and the Basij murdering seven demonstrators in a staged attacked to make the demonstrators look violent. The purpose of the attack was to delegitimize a peaceful movement and their dissent in order to shift the focus away from a less than believable election result. One cannot count millions of hand marked paper ballots in a matter of four hours, not even in the US. No one bought the staged attack anymore than the phony election results. However, President Obama curiously refused to support the demonstrators under the rationalization that it would appear as meddling in Iranian affairs and would compromise future nuclear weapons negotiations. It wasn’t until more demonstrators were murdered and President Obama was essentially shamed into it by Congress and then being accused by Iran of meddling that he finally found his rhetorical voice to speak words of support for the demonstrators. Obama affirmed the right of peaceful dissent for the Iranian demonstrators and that the Iranian government should allow them to speak their piece without use of force. He said nothing about the legitimacy elections.
The second insight into President Obama came this week when President Zelaya of Honduras was arrested by the Army removing him from power. President Obama called for the Rule of Law in opposing the ouster of Zelaya. Interestingly, it was the Rule of Law that Zelaya broke and that nation’s Supreme Court ordered his arrest. It appears he wanted to follow in Chavez’s footsteps to become president for life by holding an illegal referendum removing term limits. It was all very democratic, except the part of not following the Constitution of Honduras and President Obama knew this.
Many are confused by this seeming disconnect of President Obama’s responses between Iran and Honduras. In Iran’s case, the Rule of Law was subverted even under the authoritarian control of the Mullahs since in their system they chose who could run but left it to the population to pick which of the three candidates were acceptable to them. In Honduras’s case, a referendum was to be held giving the population a choice whether they wanted the option of having a president serve more than the term limits would allow. I will restate Obama’s actions in another way so this confusion can now be cleared up. In Iran President Obama did not speak up on a fraudulent vote thwarting democracy and in Honduras he spoke up on ousting a president who attempted to subvert democracy by using the cover of a democratic vote to contrary to the Law.
I submit President Obama was very consistent in his actions. What we saw in these two instances is Obama squirming under the implications, which may have come a little too close to home for him. Many people in this country are protesting the rampant spending endorsed by President Obama who up to this point has essentially pretended the protests didn’t occur. His dog has more press coverage from the MSM than do the Tea Party protests. As far as Obama is concerned the protesters can’t do anything against him or limit his actions unless they take up arms, so let them peacefully protest all they want, he won and that’s that. To Barack Obama, democracy is not about consensus and representation but convincing enough people by telling them what they want to hear to be given the reigns of leadership. Thus Iran’s rulers are over reacting in his opinion and they should just let them complain all they want. On the other hand, President Obama’s assent to power is under question in this country given two questions he has steadfastly refused to answer and has spent well over a million dollars in legal maneuvers suppressing the hearing of the matter to clear up the issue. The two questions are the inspection of his vault copy birth certificate, which would show the hospital at which he was born (the location which is not on a COLB) thus confirming his citizenship and his status as an American citizen due to his traveling under Indonesian passport over the age of 21. If a court were to actually examine the merits of the case instead of parsing the Law to claim no one has standing to bring the case, all the questions could be answered and the cloud of suspicion lifted. If it were found by the Courts that Barack Obama is not a US citizen by birth or by giving up his citizenship because he became a citizen of Indonesia, the Supreme Court would have to order his arrest for committing a fraud.
Now of course some will scoff at the way I have connected the dots since to consider President Obama as an illegitimate holder of power is so over the top as to be inconceivable. Such scoffing however requires the suspension of disbelief that anyone has so much audacity as to hope they successfully could pull off such a scheme. Really?? No one has the audacity to lie to the American public?
