April 14, 2011 Obama's Strategy? He Doesn't Have One By Neil Snyder One thing stands out in my mind about President Obama's so-called "budget strategy." He doesn't have one. You can see evidence of Mr. Obama's strategic vacuum in everything he does. Take the much ballyhooed budget speech he gave yesterday at George Washington University, for example. It contradicts the message he delivered as a part of his 10-year budget just a few short weeks ago. All of the evidence points to the fact that Obama's "budget strategy" is simply a kneejerk reaction to Rep. Paul Ryan's (R-Wisconsin) budget proposal which really does reflect strategic thinking. It's been said, and it's true, that talk is cheap. Talk seems to be the only arrow in Mr. Obama's quiver. The president's speech droned on for about an hour and when it was over, the most memorable thing about it was its lack of specificity. The phrase "my plan," which he used repeatedly is not a substitute for specifics, and the examples he used to support his "plan" were woefully inadequate. Take infrastructure spending, for instance. The president explained that he would spend on infrastructure. Who's against that? No one. Problem is, infrastructure spending was supposed to be the primary focus of his stimulus package. Two years ago, we were told about the "shovel-ready projects" that would get us out of the Great Recession and fix our crumbling roads and bridges in the process. Two years and hundreds of billions of dollars later, what does the record show? We still have crumbling roads and bridges, precious little construction work, and more deficits and debt than any generation of Americans has ever seen with more to come. That's not strategy. It's business as usual. Paraphrasing Albert Einstein, "The quality of thinking that got us here won't get us out of here." If the president had a strategy for dealing with our deficit and debt problems, he would have presented it long ago -- in detail. He could have used his budget commission's plan to get our fiscal house in order as the launching pad to introduce his strategy, and he would have if he had one. President Obama's silence at that critical moment was deafening, and yesterday's Johnny-come-lately gimmick was nothing more than an attempt to avoid the appearance of incompetence -- a trick that is becoming increasingly difficult for him to pull off even among his once ardent supporters. The president's "plan" to call on legislators to find a solution to our deficit and debt problems by the end of June a week after Rep. Ryan submitted his plan to the House of Representatives is laughable. Again, that's not strategy. It's just empty words. Mr. Obama's strategic void has been on display in the Middle East since the Arab Spring began in January. For instance, consider Egypt. Obama stood with our long-time ally, Hosni Mubarak, and then he didn't. Then he stood with him again until the political winds shifted, at which point Obama announced that it was time for Mr. Mubarak to go. Our president has demonstrated the same lack of strategic resolve on matters related to Syria, Libya, Tunisia, Bahrain, Yemen, Iran, and Saudi Arabia. Our president's inability to grasp strategic concepts is so pervasive that the King of Saudi Arabia said recently that President Obama is a threat to Saudi Arabia's internal security. I think he's a threat to our internal security as well. Mr. Obama did have a strategy for getting elected to the highest office in the land, but it wasn't his. Whose plan it was remains a mystery, as does almost everything else about our president, from the hospital where he was born to his SAT and LSAT scores to his academic performance records to his golf handicap. Even so, the facts are beginning to emerge. Take his first autobiography, for example. Jack Cashill's Deconstructing Obama suggests strongly that Obama didn't write it and that Bill Ayers probably did. It's looking a lot like someone or some group carefully orchestrated a comprehensive strategy to take an obscure Illinois lawyer specializing in community organizing from nowhere to the White House. That plan will go down in the annals of history as a strategic masterpiece -- a stroke of genius. No one deft enough to devise a scheme for Obama's political ascension could be so strategically clumsy in office. A few days ago, Mort Zuckerman, a publishing and real estate magnate, said on CNBC that Donald Trump's autobiography would be the greatest love story ever told. Mr. Trump wants to be president, and he's distancing himself from other wannabes by calling into question Mr. Obama's place of birth. I don't support Trump's candidacy, but I applaud his willingness to challenge Mr. Obama to come clean and divulge the facts. That's something Republican stalwarts haven't done; it's something the mainstream media failed to do; and it's some

AND NOW IT MUST DEAL WITH ANOTHER PROBLEM: THE MASS MEDIA WHEN CONSERVATIVES ARE IN OFFICE THE MEDIA ARE LIKE RABID DOGS WHEN LIBERALS ARE IN OFFICE, MEEK AS A PUPPY ---WONDER WHY?? The Democratic Party learned the secret of European socialism, which pretends to be "progressive" but it's the oldest political trick in the world. You can see it in Shakespeare's play Julius Caesar, where the power-hungry politician Caesar plays on the mob of the urban poor to overthrow the Roman republic; which is exactly what Julius Caesar did in history. Caesar destroyed the Republic and created a Tyranny. He did it by demagoguery, and by Roman socialism, called "bread and circuses." Bread bought the loyalty of the poor and the victim classes in Rome. Circuses kept them happy with the biggest sadistic entertainment displays in Western history. Mass rape, bestiality, and an endless flow of bloody fights and mass murders were enacted for the entertainment of the power class and the masses. The early Christians were killed and "processed" in that system of Roman sadistic entertainment, just as were the Jewish rebels after the revolts against the Romans ending in 70 CE. Well, Shakespeare got it from Plutarch, who got it from Plato and Aristotle. They all saw it right in front of their eyes, just as we see it every day. "Progressives" is as old as the hills. The Democrats are just another Demagogue party. Some of them specialize in victim propaganda, and call themselves "journalists." They are not. They are PR liars, as we now know with perfect certainty, because we see the proof day after day in the "media". "First, conquer the organs of propaganda" said Karl Marx, and that is exactly what the Left does all over the world. That has to be where the Giant acts next. The Giant must fire the media. It's the easiest thing in the world, as Rush Limbaugh has pointed out for twenty years and more. It's called the "on off switch" on your TV, or your browser, or your iPhone. We have become enslaved to the Old Media. All we have to do is patronize the New Media. If everybody who voted Republican in this election did that, the Old Media would crash. And don't worry about your favorite TV show. It will find its way to the web with streaming television, if, and only if, you insist that the sponsors not be supporters of Obama's socialism. Use the vote of your money, and you've won the culture wars. That is all you need to know. Fire the corrupt Machine. Then fire the Old Media. "First, conquer the Organs of Propaganda." If the Giant fails to do that, we will be back in 1990, when the Cold War was won, Ronald Reagan, Margaret Thatcher, and Pope John Paul II won the psychological battle of the Cold War -- which was always a mind war -- and the Giant rolled over and went back to sleep. Twenty years after Reagan and the crumbling of Soviet imperialism, the Left is back in power, but now inside fortress America. It is Socialism with a Smile, but if you scratch them they old totalitarian Left reveals its grinning mask. The reason is that the Left as a power-hungry minority with dreams of world conquest -- that's what it is, just like radical Islam -- has to operate by controlling the Organs of Propaganda. They infiltrated the schools of journalism, and from there fed their brainwashed propaganda artists into what used to be a free media. They kept the appearance of free market competition, and secretly schemed to establish an intellectual monopoly. Today they plan their totalitarian PR strategy from day to day, and it shows up in the New York Times, the Washington Post, and the alphabet channels with amazing predictability. The Power Class has a propaganda organ, because all the supposedly different "news" fictioneers tell exactly the same story with exactly the same headlines day after day. Rush does a great job just playing their robotic words. We don't have a free press any more, and that is the key to our danger today. "Fire the media" is our next job. If we fail to liberate the Organs of Propaganda, this revolution will go the way of the Reagan Revolution. We will think we won, because any decent, rational, well-meaning person will see the obvious facts right in front of our eyes. And the power-hungry parasites will go back and keep gnawing away at the foundations of what everybody knows works in their own lives. Family, loyalty, hard work, bringing up children in your values, faith, building, building, building. It's worked right in front of our eyes for more than 200 years. Marxism is not "progressive." It is throwback to the old times of universal slavery -- it's not just blacks who were enslaved, but peasants, the urban poor, the sailors in the Royal Navy who were kidnapped from the streets of London, whipped into submission, and kept drunk on grog to ensure their obed
