Obama's Message To Republicans: "Stop Just Hatin’ All The Time"

Tyler Durden's picture




 

Two weeks ago the head of the "most transparent administration ever" (perhaps to the NSA?), president Obama, told the common American to "not be cynical" and have hope. Today, speaking appropriately in an ornate theater in Kansas City, he had a message for republicans: "Stop being mad all the time. Stop. Stop. Stop just hatin’ all the time."

Reuters has more:

"They're not happy that I'm president, but that's OK. Come on!" he said, gesturing as if to welcome lawmakers to a table.

 

"I've only got a couple of years left, come on, let's get some work done. Then you can be mad at the next president," he said, chuckling.

This is taking place hours after it was reported that Obama, in a clear challenge to republicans, was preparing to announce a plan to deport fewer illegal immigrants, even as one of the biggest immigration scandals in recent years has emerged as the relentless influx of illegal immigrant of Central American children into southern states, something even Obama has acknowledged is becoming a problem.

So why the attempt to fire up a confrontation with the GOP?

Obama has been delivering variations of the fiery stump speech all summer as he tours the country trying to motivate Democrats - and wealthy donors - to get involved in November's congressional elections.

 

His aim is to energize Democratic voters ahead of the elections in hopes of stopping Republicans from gaining control of the Senate, which would, when joined with a Republican hold on the House, could make it extremely difficult for him to pursue his agenda in his last two years in office.

One could almost accuse Obama - the most unpopular president since World War II - of taunting republicans to commence the impeachment proceedings that some of his adversaries have floated in recent weeks, in order to get democrats to "rally around the flag" ahead of the crucial mid-term elections.

What one certainly can't accuse the president of, is taking responsibility. As AP reported earlier, in the endless feud over Obamacare, the latest scapegoat for the disastrous rollout of the website has been found.

And speaking of government, and thus capital misallocation and inefficiency, the GAO also reported that the administration has spent roughly $840 million on HealthCare.gov, including more than $150 million just in cost overruns for the version that failed so badly when it launched last year.

But as noted above, blame managers, not the president. From National Journal: "The Government Accountability Office says cost overruns went hand-in-hand with the management failures that led to the disastrous launch of HealthCare.gov and the 36 state insurance exchanges it serves.

GAO's report, prepared for a Thursday Energy and Commerce Committee hearing, details a long series of management, oversight and contracting problems that plagued the entire process, from risky contracting practices in 2011 through the botched launch last October.... the GAO says similar problems could arise again without structural changes in the way the government manages its contracts and spending.

Remember: whatever you do, don't be cynical.

The problem is that there isn't enough hatred of the right kind.

The problem is there isn't enough hatred for control-freaks in and out of government, for liars in and out of government, for thieves in and out of government, and for killers in and out of government.

The problem is that there is too much hatred for the wrong people, those people being the ones in another country or having a different religion, instead of those who do evil.

The problem is there's too much hatred for the wrong reasons and not nearly enough for the right reasons.

A large militarized country where Military and its commander in chief hate each other is quite unstable.

There have always been those who hate the military, but I think few ever doubted their potential effectiveness. Today the military is simply another entitlement government wing loaded top down with political hacks. God help us if we ever truly do need a military. Military service used to be considered patriotic service to our country but today it is simply another career path with promises of big benefits in the end. Many have suggested that the military would never turn on the American people, but given their pensions are dependent on following orders, I wonder....

Could very well be true. Most humans do not really like killing and death, and as president, he surely knows what his actions result in.

The figurehead is in trouble, but not for the reason he says.  I wonder if he realizes that the problem isn't that people might choose the republicans over him, but that a significant number has awakened enough in the past 6 years to realize that the power structure behind both parties is the problem.  He shouldn't be wasting his breath on those who are closer to his allies than his true enemies, but to admit that would be to admit the real problems (an insulated elite that is completely out of touch with the realities of the world they are desperate to perpetuate) around him.  Good luck with that.

Americans are being replaced faster than we are waking up...

 

The title of my talk is a reference to the famous poem that Bertolt Brecht wrote after the ’53 risings against the Communist government in East Germany. It goes:

After the uprising on the 17th of June

The Secretary of the Writer’s Union

Had leaflets distributed in the Stalinallee 

Stating that the people

Had forfeited the confidence of the government

And could win it back only

By redoubled efforts.

Then Brecht concluded:

Would it not be easier

In that case for the government

To dissolve the people

And elect another?

How many of you have heard of this poem? [Almost none, I was surprised]. Well, I’ve been talking about this poem for 30 years. I think it makes a great point because it’s exactly what is happening in the Western world. The governments are dissolving the people and electing a new one—specifically in this case, in the U.S. and the U.K.

Obama is staving off impeachment by acting like he wants it. This gives him a period of 8 months more (minimum) in which he can act with a total impunity.

 

Obama does not intend to relinquish the Presidency - ever. All moves of this game should be played with this understood.

Icanhasbailout seems to have little concept of how dictators come into place if he thinks Obama is close to becoming a dictator or has any chance of being in power after January 2017.  I am not very satisfied with the last 7 year either....nor was I satisfied with the 8 before that.

Icanhasbailout, how close was Bush II to becoming a dictator?

If you want to have a real discussion about the extent to which an authoritarian deep state exists and how much power it has amassed, then I'd be up for that, although it's a tough question.  But to say that Obama or Bush II  are/were close to becoming dictators is inaccurate and simplistic; authoritarian power in the U.S. seems to be forming in a more complex and chronic way, in dynamics that span decades or more.  A couple of presidential terms is too short of a time frame for this dynamic.  This is not to preclude the possibility of a tipping point where slow change suddenly accelerates and we wake up one day with soldiers in the streets.  That is certainly possible, but it won't be under Obama's control because authoritarian forces in America are not primarily under Obama's control and may have been around for much longer than Obama has been a politician.

There is no one right answer - that I know of at least - as to how much power the deep state has, but there are definitely some wrong answers about the nature of authoritarianism in the U.S. and one of those wrong answers is that Obama is close to becoming a dictator.  

Some owners of large corporations, some Wall Street interests, some officials in intelligence agencies, and some parts of the military-industrial complex are all likely to be forming some type of deep state (or perhaps formed one long ago...) but this type of authoritarian control is very different from a single man becoming dictator.

Obama is not the next Trujillo or Pinochet...he's just one in a sequence of presidents whose power seems to be constrained and/or directed in some unclear ways by a non-elected deep state, as well as by the legal and constitutional constraints of sep. of powers and federalism, and also the legal and sometimes illegal lobbying and contributions by special interest groups ranging from unions, the Bar Association, NGO's, and college classmates to corporations and billionaires.  Reality is a bit more more complicated than the meme of Obama-as-dictator.

Rule of Thumb #1:  When a graduate of the Harvard Law School and a one-time editor of the Harvard Law Review starts dropping the g's in his speeches and affecting the accent of a Baptist southern preacher, you can be pretty certain he's trying to manipulate you in order to advance his own agenda.

Rul of Thumb #2) When a graduate of Princeton University proceeds to employ a faux stutter in her speeches, on behalf of getting her husband elected, you can be darn sure she thinks the people she's trying to persuade are morons and the only way to manipulate them is to sound like a moron as well.

"Stop being mad all the time. Stop. Stop. Stop just hatin’ all the time."

Let's pause to "deconstruct" this imperative.

1) I characterize it as being in the imperative mood.  It is given as a command.  It implies a superior/inferior relationship - one pary has authority over the other.  It is authorized to give commands and the other obeys. Barry has no authority to order the Republicans or any member of Congress around.  he can order his staff around all he wants.  Barry chose to use this "mood" to make the Republicans appear inferior.  It is almost incumbent upon them to address this "rubuke" lest they appear submissive.  Consensus builders and Nobel Laureats don't use the imperative voice.

2) Father would always say, "Dogs get mad, people get angry."  Obama is not suggesting that Republicans are dogs, but maddness is an emotional state beyond anger.  It suggests irrationality and extreme abandonment of self control.  I am not suggesting madness in the sense of the insane asylum.  Anger is not a good thing either.  Suggesting that the Republicans are mad is an insult to them.  Furthermore Obama's word choice is a bad display for the children.  It shows a lack of poise and contemplation.

3) "hatin"  Again this is very similar to the use of "mad."  It is an insult to suggest that someone is full of hate.  (Is Barry doin the hatin here?)

A few years ago, Barry stated that 'Putin was acting like a bored kid in the back of the class.'  All I could do was think of the cost/benefit ratio in that statement.  Who was he trying to impress?  Does he buy anything by publically demeaning Putin?  I don't think so.  Would Putin simply be a stand up guy and let it roll off his back?  Could he do so if he chose?  Could Jesus, Budda or Gahndi?  I wonder.  In short barry made an expensive move with a C/B ratio approaching infinity.

Is any of this presidential?

I can't remember any president being so flat footed.  Not JFK, LBJ, etc.  Not even Jimmy Carter lacked poise to this extent.

The thing is, it probablyt sells with the electorate as it becomes increasingly dumbed down.  i never said Obama wasn't clever.  Ungracious, yes.  Unclever, no.

The beauty of the fact that ZH is not enforcing its notice on racism in this thread is that the racists can come out of the woodwork and expose their hatred to the light.

While I have seen, in ZH comments, several examples of racism either mixed in with a general dislike for Obama, and sometimes the primary reason for that dislike in the past, the hatred and racism is quite clearly seen here.

And, no, all dislike of Obama is not racism.  If one doesn't like Obamacare, or his fiscal policy, or some other substantive aspect of his leadership, then it's politics as normal. Substantive debate about policy is the real deal, and if people put forward reasonable arguments against a president's policies then they will be likely be taken more seriously, and their ideas will be more compelling.

But, hating him because he's black...well, that's just sad and ignorant, and unAmerican to boot, if you consider the ideals TJ put forward in the Declaration as American ideals.

When the thread is about Obama using the word "hatin'" in a speech, and several of the comments contain remarks that evince racist hatred, then doesn't this provide support for the hypothesis that some important segment of the American population just can't accept having a (half) black president?

Here are some choice examples from this thread.  Again, I don't expect anyone to feel ashamed....I doubt anyone who wrote the following comments will.  But, I will cite these comments as evidence in support of the belief that an important segment of the opposition to Obama is because he is (half) African-American.

And before we start, anyone who would say that the remarks below were in jest, and that I just don't have a sense of humor, you're wrong, I do.  That's not the point, though.  The point is that some people - including some ZH commentors - seem to hate Obama b/c he's black.  This, of course, should not be surprising b/c we all know that racism still exists in some number of households in the US.  

In the late 90's I was driving from North Carolina to West Virginia and I decided to stop at a bar in Southern WVA before sleeping for the night.  I was wearing a t-shirt, shorts, and a pair of ratty old tevas, well-worn on the river and the street.  A sign at the entrance said "Dress code required."  I told the two guys that the door that I guess I probably didn't pass the dress code.  One of them said, "Naw, we just have that to keep the niggers out."  As I turned around to leave, I heard the other guy whisper to his indiscreet buddy something about how some people won't like comments like that so he had to be more careful.  

It's hard to see racism in action...it tends to hide in the shadows of denial or be voiced in circles where everyone is in agreement, or at least unlikely to object.

 Today, I see it clearly in the light in these comments.  If you think I'm wrong about some of them, fine...the point is, for every openly racist comment, how many other people are there that are better at masking or denying illiberal racism?

 If you like the enlightenment and the libertarian, rights-centered and free market theory that was part of that movement, it's hard to also justify racism, a reactionary type of thought...similar to belief in the benefits of a hereditary aristocracy, divine right monarchy, and a government that belonged to the ruler.

Note the comment about a man who was illegaly beaten by government officials (LA Police).  Where is this commenter's outrage at the overreach of the state in terms of the Rodney King beating?  How often do wall street crooks get beaten?  Is it OK for the government to overstep its bounds as long as it's beating people like R. King as oppossed to people like Madoff and Corzine?
