Selling Out

The question no one asks
by Mychal Massie

What does it say about a man, more importantly, a president, who will abandon his family members in need, disassociate himself from those he called life-long friends, turn his back on mentors in a moment's notice, throw his now late grandmother under the bus, and cherry pick Bible verses when it suits his needs and advantage, even though true scripture condemns such deceitfulness? It says he cannot be trusted. It says that he is a morally opprobrious person without boundaries or constraints. It says that, if selling out his office and/or country is the only way to get what he wants, he will do it.



President Obama reminds me of the person who is willing to go to any extreme to get what they want, or to remain in whatever situation they are in. We all know at least one person like this – someone who is honest with their mate when it is to their advantage – someone who has figured out how to mislead family, friends, therapists and employers – someone who is emotionally unstable and willing to destroy the lives of all around them, including their children. Frequently, their rationale is that since life has dealt them a cruel blow, they'll pass it around.

Such people create twisted fantasy worlds in which they control everything from time and space to the destructive affectation of their children. However, the important thing is that, until now, the people we know who are like this weren't presidents of the United States.

Obama has shown his willingness to throw his late grandmother and self-described mentors under the bus without a blink. A central theme of his campaign was his misquoting and misusing the scripture verse Matthew 25:40. He called on us to attend to the needs of the so-called "least of these" while he, with his multi-million dollar net worth and growing influence, allowed his aunt to be evicted from arguably the worst public housing slum in Boston. He lectured us about giving to the poor as his brother, George, lived in a shanty-shack in Nairobi on less than $1 a month.

Now, with his universal health-care legislation in trouble, Obama once again shows his willingness to use any person, group and/or means to get what he wants. This time he has singled out liberal groups who masquerade under the banner of religion. Let's take a look.

First of all, even though he is Lord Obama, where does the president get the authority to encourage groups to break the law, his relationship with ACORN notwithstanding? Nearly all churches are 501(c)3 nonprofit organizations. As such, they are expressly prohibited from participating in political speech or activities. Without reciting "The Restriction of Political Campaign Intervention by 501(c)3 Tax-Exempt Organizations," let there be no doubt that, no matter how it starts out their participation, as sought by Obama, will devolve into violations of their tax status.

Good post, Redcliffsw.

I agree with this post.  In the past I would have said a little heavy on the vitriol, but I find myself having to turn it up a notch lately too.
