In a previous article, What Worries Me part 2, I described the flipside to Obama succeeding in a Fabian socialist agenda, which is Obama losing in 2012 as opposed to winning and succeeding in his agenda.

I was concerned about the possibility of the right driving over a cliff and we election another candidate that relies on the cult of personality? Below a definition of cult of personality from Wikipedia:

A cult of personality arises when a country's leader uses mass media to create an idealized and heroic public image, often through unquestioning flattery and praise. Cults of personality are often found in dictatorships and Stalinist governments.
A cult of personality is similar to general hero worship, except that it is created specifically for political leaders. However, the term may be applied by analogy to refer to adulation of religious or non-political leaders.

I would say that this definition fits nicely with Obama, at least initially. Obama tries to be a modern day FDR, except even more Fabian in nature. This is evidenced not only but the absolute incredulous and irrational adulation of his supporters but the control he has so far been successful with over the mainstream media. He has done so not with fear, but of agreement in principle. This had helped create an image of Obama that got him elected. What he and his magical handlers did count on and what FDR did not have to deal with, is the nature of media today. It’s available to more people today and much, much more quickly. The opposition media in the country has served as a balance to what I like to call the “government run media”. In reality they are the government-controlled media through manipulation through likeness in alleged beliefs. The end result of this is that Obama, as of this date, has an approval rating of 44%, which is a record in terms of the speed of decline for a new president.

So what's next? Obama is in decline faster than a speeding Ellie Light can try to prop him up. With Scott Brown winning the senate seat previously held by Ted "The Swimmer" Kennedy, gives us some hope that the tide is turning against Obama and socialism in this country. At this point, the spell is breaking and people are starting to see Obama for who and what he is: A Fabian socialist with the gift of public speaking abilities, but who has no ability to actually do anything concretely positive for this country, to move us forward economically, in foreign or domestic policy, or even as a proper representative of the American people in being our president. If you were transported to today from 20, 10, or even 5 years ago, you'd have to come to the conclusion that we have a leader who never lived in this country, let alone having been born here. He had no profit/loss experience...heck, no business experience or acumen at all, he didn't even finish his first term as a senator, which was his first political position on a national scale and some Americans are sitting around wondering why he's so incompetent? He is a creation of the mass media, a talking head, a cardboard cutout.

So, whats' next? With Scott Brown's victory, we may be well on our way to correcting this voyage into socialism that started more than 14 months ago. The question I have is, will the GOP do the right thing? Will they take to heart the policies, platform and agenda of the Tea Party and the 912ers, or will they just nod in agreement until after the contract is signed? This is truly a defining moment for the republican party. In my own home state, I can tell you from interviews I have heard with Steve Deace and Craig Robinson of the Iowa republican blog, that the people in charge of the party in this state are afraid of the Tea Party people and want nothing to do with Them. In fact, in a recent interview, Robinson said that it is the responsibility of republicans to get behind whoever the party nominated or selects. Better the lesser of two evils. It should be the other way around: Whoever the party selects or nominates must be in accord with the party platform and positions. May be part of the problem is that being a republican means too many different things, and is applied to a too broad political spectrum. At some point it stands for nothing. I think the Tea Party has a chance to steer the GOP ship, but will Michael Steele & Co. get out of the way?

On another level, the GOP needs to learn from the Democrat's mistakes. Don't put forth these candidates that are smooth talking with empty heads or lacking in any real experience. While I think it's great that Scott Brown won, let him prove himself. With Sarah Palin, she needs to really polish herself and take an interest in history, world affairs, and in general, the world outside of Wasila. I like the woman, but she isn't ready. Some will say "look at Ronnie, he was an dilettante" etc...But what most people don't realize is that Reagan was governor of one of the largest states, certainly the largest economically in the country. He also studied very hard every day to keep well informed, which he was and much better than people realize. Being president isn't a 9-5, Monday through Friday Job. It's a 24/7/365 job for four years, with the responsibility to over 300 million people. It's going to be an interesting ride until November. What do you think will come of this? Will the republicans take the house and/or senate, or will the democrats hang on to a slim but shrinking majority? No matter what, Obama will try to pass as much of his agenda and policies through the congress before November. This is like a bucket list for Barry, and the clock is ticking very quickly, the end is near.

Final Note; I want to thank Eric for letting me fill in for the day. I just got a call from Eric and he had a lot of great things to say about some of the big bloggers out there as well as Governor Rick Perry, who sounds like an outstanding person. Thanks again Eric and to all of the readers of Eric's Republican Libertarian Blog, I hope you go to my blog, The Right Guy Show every day to read my take on local, nation and international politics, as well as some humor from time to time.

Thank you for reading this blog.
