from NY to Israel Sultan Reveals
The Stories Behind the News

Posted: 30 Dec 2009 07:17 PM PST

Let's get it straight, behind all the hubbub and noise, the international trips
and summits, the TV specials and constant addresses to the nation and any
other nation that would let him in, the huge spending plans and the
photoshoots-- Barack Hussein Obama has accomplished only one thing in his
first year in office.

Obama's only real
accomplishment is that he took hundreds of billions of dollars in taxpayer
money, and directed them to his donors on Wall Street, in the unions and
the insurance industry. Barry Hussein took in nearly 15 million dollars in donations from securities and investments
companies, and his first priority was to pay it back with a massive
bailout that has exploded the deficit.

As the number one recipient
of funds from securities and investments companies, Obama made sure they
were paid off first. In exchange for a mere 14 million dollars, the
industry received as much as a hundred thousand times that much from the
government. And we aren't done yet. And that is even without counting Cap
and Trade, a plan set to enrich certain key Wall Street backers of Obama
and the Democratic party, at the expense of the last remaining shreds of
America's manufacturing sector.

And then there were the unions. Not
only did Obama keep the UAW around through the effective bailout and
takeover of GM and Chrysler, but his next priority was delivering the
SEIU's health care plan. And while the SEIU appears to have lost out on
the public option, unlike the AFL-CIO which has turned on the bill, SEIU
President Andrew Stern is still expressing his support for Obama.

But while SEIU may not have gotten the government health care
holiday they wanted, the insurance industry, which donated millions to
Obama, got a bill which forces every American to buy insurance from them,
or be fined and jailed. It's not quite marching customers over to them at
gunpoint, but it's the next best thing.

While ordinary voters are
complaining that they got screwed by Obama, his big donors are throwing
extra large parties to celebrate their windfall. While 2009 has been a
terrible year for most Americans, insurance company stocks are rising and
Wall Street is anticipating a chance to nickel and dime every American
through Cap and Trade.

And that is the simple and ugly truth
behind Obama's first term. Ignore the empty speeches and the even more
meaningless summits. Behind the facade is the same stale old brand of
Chicago politics, if you want something you gotta pay for it. If you want
a street cleaning contract, then you better pay. And once you pay, the
city will pay you twice the cost, even if none of the streets are ever
clean. If you want to supply safety gear for the fire department, money
better change hands. And then it doesn't matter if the gear works or how
much you overcharge for it.

But at the national level, it isn't
about municipal services or a state contract here and there, the kind of
corruption that is bankrupting cities and states all across America. It's
about a truly grand level of corruption, because the budget at Obama's
disposal is virtually infinite. The money may not be there, but as long as
the Chinese keep lending, Barry Hussein and his staff will keep on
spending. Because when the bill comes due, they know they won't be
there.

Obama has no personal investment in
America. It's a resource to him like everything else. And when a con
artist gets into a bank vault, he steals it clean, and then moves on.
Unless he can be made dictator for life, Obama doesn't care much what
happens after he's out of office. And if he is made dictator for life,
that just means more wealth redistribution. The Chicago way is to treat
taxes as a way to pay back favors and set yourself up for life. That
mixture of left wing radicalism and organized crime that defines Obama's
political background has no room in it for any kind of fiscal
responsibility.

Once in office, Barry Hussein could barely be
bothered to care about the War on Terror, only announcing an Afghan surge
after he had been shamed into it. His international trips accomplished
nothing except to give Michelle Obama a chance to pick up more expensive
and ugly souvenirs. Abusive to allies and slavish to enemies, Obama's
foreign adventures impressed no one at all and accomplished even
less.

Domestic security naturally went by the wayside. Obama's
tossed wreath at Ground Zero demonstrated how well he had absorbed the
contemptuous attitude of his mentor, Jeremiah "God Damn America" Wright.
Neither a New Yorker nor an American, terrorism was nothing to Obama,
except a chance to recite a homily about the virtues of Islam. The mosques
of Mecca and the Madrassas of Asia had far more emotional resonance for
Obama than the Twin Towers.

His Homeland Security Chief, Janet
Napolitano, quickly reverted back to Janet Reno's approach to domestic
security with alarmist rhetoric about the dangers of right wing extremism.
Meanwhile Reno's own second in command, Attorney General Eric Holder
hardly bothered to hide his sympathy for the terrorists. And so the 3AM
phone call to Obama never came. Instead a passenger subdued the latest Al
Queda terrorist, while Obama drowsed peacefully in his White House bed,
visions of spending bills dancing in his head.

Now just as it had
been with Afghanistan a few months back, Obama has been caught by surprise
as an issue that he had demonstrated his unconcern for is coming back to
bite him on the ass. Naturally the reflexive Chicago tactic is to blame it
on the Republicans. The problem is that the nameplate says Barack H.
Obama, not George W. Bush. And by now it's clear even to Obama's
supporters, that the man will go on blaming Bush even after 8 years in
office, without taking responsibility for the consequences of his own
policies.

But Obama isn't stupid or incompetent. He proved quite
capable of obsessively pursuing and shoving through legislation on the
issues he cared about. Of course the legislation he cared about was
passing kickbacks to his donors and enacting socialism for America.
National security wasn't on the list. Defending America wasn't even gifted
with a single checkmark. Creating jobs was an inside joke between Obama
and his donors, where the punchline was "Green Jobs".

When Cheney calls out Obama
for abandoning national defense and the War on Terror, the White House has
no response except to issue sanctimonious statements bemoaning finger
pointing. Which is par for the course when the fingers are being pointed
at you. But Obama is not a big believer in Truman's aphorism. If Harry's
desk said, "The Buck Stops Here", Obama's desk says, "The Bucks Are Spent
Here".

Forget national security. Obama's key interests are
"reform" plans that benefit him personally. Next up will either be Cap and
Trade or legalizing enough illegal aliens to outweigh all the out of work
Americans just waiting for a chance to vote him out of office in 2012.
(Lawyers after all formed the largest base of his contributors.) The buck
doesn't stop in the Oval Office anymore. The moral compass does.
