Obama. Connect-the-Dots... part 1

I am a connect-the-dots kinda girl. As a child I couldn't wait for Saturday and my family's trip to McCellands, one of the popular five and dime stores that lined "the Avenue". It meant that my Mom would buy me a Giant Connect-the Dots coloring book. I would sit for hours connecting the numbered dots, one by one as the picture revealed itself to my happy amazement. Those days are gone.

I'm still a connect-the-dots girl, only now I'm connecting-the-dots - the points in Barak Obama's life and his rise to the Presidency and where they may lead and it scares me silly. I make no arguments about the facts stated here. They are for the reader to connect-the-dots and form their own opinions.

Obama had abandonment issues in his early teen years, not just because of his father, who left him as a baby. His mother ,Ann Dunham-Obama-Sorento, wanted a more exciting life than just raising a son and daughter in Hawaii. Barak objected to going back to Indonesia with his mother when she left Hawaii with his half-sister, Maya, and left him with his white Grandparents.

His early friendships and activities were that of a young man with an identity crisis. One of his strongest influences as a young man in Hawaii was a Communist, a poet, and an admitted pedophile, Frank Marshall Davis. Barak's white Grandfather introduced his grandson to Davis, who was black, when he[Barak] was 10 years old. Barak grew to think of Davis as a Father figure and mentor.

Maya Soetoro-Ng, Obama's half-sister, told the Associated Press recently that her grandfather had seen Mr Davis was “a point of connection, a bridge if you will, to the larger African-American experience for my brother".

He may have been a bridge to other activities as well. As a teenager Barak tried drugs, basketball and older women. Obama admits that he smoked pot and did cocaine. He took up Basketball to better relate to other black teens and he cruised the campus of the University of Hawaii picking up "older college women" for sexual encounters.

His college records are the stuff of secondhand adulation. Little is known about his early college years. Paul Carpenter, now a Los Angeles lawyer, was one of Obama's room mates at Occidental College. Carpenter recalled Obama as "a good bodysurfer" who had "a funky red car, a Fiat" and who also played intramurals — flag football, tennis and water polo. "He was an athletic guy," said Carpenter. He also thought of Barak as a very self confident guy, to the point of him believing that Barak was arrogant and an elitist

humm "Obama had a Fiat and now he is forcing Fiat on Chrysler. Is this one the the places that we can connect the dots? Just asking. One dot in this Chrysler-Fiat mess that we should really pay attention to is the biggest winner in the forced partnership between Chrysler and Fiat is the Unions (both American and European).

While Chrysler's plants are closed, workers will still receive pay and benefits. Doug Rice, president of the United Auto Workers Local 122 in Twinsburg, Ohio, said workers should be fine as long as Chrysler emerges from bankruptcy within 60 days. If the process drags on longer, experts have said consumers could lose faith in the company's products, and Chrysler could crumble.

The other dot to notice is that President Obama plan to make American Companies more Global.

President Obama, in a noon speech at the White House, had to explain why he planned to save Chrysler and its workers by forcing the company into bankruptcy. A partnership with Fiat, he said, would give Chrysler "a chance not only to survive, but to thrive in a global auto industry."

Fiat will contribute no money to the alliance. It has committed what it says are billions of dollars in technologies and designs for fuel-efficient vehicles. The biggest loosers will be Stockholders, dealerships that sell Chrysler products and the parts suppliers.

All of this is happening at a time when the Nation's Banking intrigues are getting even murkier. Another dot that helps define Obama is, Tim Geithner, his wonder boy, the only person in the world who was "smart enough" to solve the Money Sector's problems. Geithner is hatching yet another plan to save the Banks from their bad assets. This seems to be another "smoke and mirrors" plan that doesn't solve the insolvency. Once again, he is hiding the bad assets on the Bank's balance sheets while making no progress in making their bad assets worth something.

Geithner's first Bailout plan was soundly panned by Banking experts and hated by Wallstreet.

Now to get to the punch line, let us turn to the New York Times. The headline "Geithner Said to Have Prevailed on Bailout," is already bad news, since as we have discussed, Geithner is a living, breathing example of cognitive regulatory capture. But here is the troubling bit:

In the end, Mr. Geithner largely prevailed in opposing tougher conditions on financial institutions that were sought by presidential aides, including David Axelrod, a senior adviser to the president, according to administration and Congressional officials.

Mr. Geithner, who will announce the broad outlines of the plan on Tuesday, successfully fought against more severe limits on executive pay for companies receiving government aid.

He resisted those who wanted to dictate how banks would spend their rescue money. And he prevailed over top administration aides who wanted to replace bank executives and wipe out shareholders at institutions receiving aid.

Because of the internal debate, some of the most contentious issues remain unresolved.

The real dot to watch here is the U.S. Governments march to Socialism. Every step taken by the Government on the Monetary System since Obama took office has shown a propensity for Government ownership of American Banking asset's. Every Company "saved" has paid a price for getting into bed with Obama. AIG, although it shot itself in the foot with the boneheaded bonuses, has had vast portions of it's assetts being "siezed" by the Government. This does not bode well for Freedom.

There are so many dots to connect with this President that it will take several blog posts to achieve the true picture of of this very left wing President. Everything that Obama has done since being elected is leading to one conclusion. This President, contrary to what he says, is leading this Country, as rapidly as possible, to Socialism or something worse.
