City of the Skull

President Obama gave a lengthy, rambling speech, well over an hour , the other day at Knox College in Galesburg, Illinois. The basic premise of the speech was that the "phony scandals ", that have been put forth by the Republican Party have distracted him from his one true mission;..to create jobs , and to grow the economy. An interesting premise for a speech, considering the fact that just a few weeks earlier the President promised investigation into Benghazi,IRS, and NSA scandals , and those responsible would be punished. Punished for what? A 'phony" scandal? Was Benghazi phony? Was the death of Ambassador Stevens and three others at that unprotected Embassy phony? Was the IRS and NSA targeting of conservatives phony? The President is obviously back in campaign mode , and will say and do anything , including threatening to shut down the government, to promote his crumbling Obamacare , and to assure Democrat victory in the 2014 Midterm Elections. , which are critical to the sucess of his socialist agenda.
Nothing new or unusual in in the President's behavior here. All the President has done since taking office has been campaign , tax, ..and spend , and the President knows that if the Democrats lose the Midterms , the Republican Party , led by Senator Ted Cruz of Texas, will most likely defund Obamacare , thereby effectively killing the bill before its even fully implemented. And, a Democrat loss  would also severely limit Obama's ability to tax and spend on other liberal agenda's as well.
Again , nothing surprising in the Obama campaign  strategem to stop this from happening .But , what is surprising is that while giving this re-hash , snore fest of a speech , in his home State of Illinois, the President failed to mention , even once, the smoking ruin , the hollow shell , the scorched earth remnant of the once city called Chicago ,..the city that Obama calls home . Chicago , along with Detroit, are cities that have been uttterly destroyed , completely leveled , and forced into bankruptcy ,..by decades of Democrat rule. In the President's Knox College speech , which centered on the economy, his omission of Chicago and Detroit, both bankrupt, was no doubt, by political calculation . After all, one agenda that Obama will pursue before the Midterms will be the bailout of Chicago , Detroit , and other liberal controlled States which face bankruptcy. These bailouts have to be part of his pre-Midterm agenda, since he must have the votes that these States can provide . But, he knows with the Republican threat of defunding Obamacare hanging in the air like a guillotine, he cannot promise anything to these Cities,....yet , that is. No, the President must wait, ...and campaign ,..and promote the same old talking point ideology that Republican opposition is the reason the economy still remains in the tank, and its Republicans that will prevent the bailout of bankrupt Democrat States.
That's the key right there, ..to Democrat Victory in the 2014 Midterms . . Obama must convince his base that, only by Democrat victory in the Midterms , can their clueless States and  Cities,..be saved. However, all of the President's campaign efforts , this time, will be for naught, for one reason;...the Tea Party. The Tea Party was the reason for Republican Victory  in the 2010 Midterms , and its  motivating factor was Obamacare , and  ever increasing  taxes by the Obama Administration . Now , there's even more reason for the Tea Party to be motivated , as the effects of Obamacare are now being felt, by Americans ,..in their wallets.
Now even those who drank the Obama Koolaid are realizing that the main selling point of Obamacare has turned out to simply not be true. The main selling point was free , I repeat,...free, healthcare for everybody. Now, Americans realize that this concept is,....and always was,...a fantasy , and that , in fact Obamacare is quite expensive , even for young healthy people , with premiums to  cost them  over one thousand  dollars a year.The Simple reality of Obamacare is this;....paying the penalty is cheaper than signing up for coverage ,..and therefore , paying the penalty is what most people will do. This is why Obamacare must crumble . If young people choose to opt out by paying the penalty ,...Obamacare cannot survive, ...for its financial sucess depends on its support by American youth. Obamacare , therefore , by flawed design , will fail , and so too , will Obama's attempts to gain any bailouts for Chicago , Detroit, or any other Democrat controlled trainwreck masquerading as a city . And, once Republicans secure victory in 2014,Obama and his Administration will have acheived nothing more than a well deserved , "lame duck", status , and ultimately, ...a lame duck legacy .
The very concept of Obamacare is absurd. So too, is the concept of a bailout for any Democrat run State. No, these States, these Cities, must remain as they are . They must remain destroyed , devastated , and demoralized cesspools of  crime and corruption . They must remain broke,...and visibly crumbling , with decadence and decay. They must remain this way as monuments , and testimonials to the truth , ..to the grim reality of Democrat rule. This is the proof . These cities are the cold hard evidence ,..of the sheer destruction , and misery that occurs when Democrats are in control. Republican run States like Texas , ..by contrast, ..are economically  growing and prosperous. This is why there can be no bailouts of Democrat States,...ever. Let them stand as they are . Not one building should be renovated . Not one Federal dime should be pumped into these burned out husks of former cities. Let them serve as reminders to all of the plague that is the Democrat Party . Yes, let Detroit, and Chicago , and other Democrat controlled disasters , remain the graveyards that they are, and,...let them also serve as  warnings  to the Republican Party , that , there are only two choices in the 2014 Midterms,...Victory,....or Death. Death , that is, by Democrat rule,..a  slow, lingering, painful death , a death of poverty,..and violence,..a death that has reduced the once proud , prosperous city of Detroit ,...to a modern day Golgotha ,...a City of the Skull.
