Look This “Gift Horse” Straight In The Eye
There is a lot of chatter on the media these last few days about the (supposedly) ill chosen gifts that Obama has given the Queen and the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom. The consensus seems to be that the Obamas just don’t have much experience selecting appropriate gifts.
This explanation simply does not get it.
We are talking about the POTUS here. Do you have any idea the size of the staff supporting this man? Do any of you actually believe that Barack took a break from his rock star appearances to stop by the local WalMart, made this purchase himself, then went back to the White House to load it with songs and film clips? Get real.
This man has available all the expertise he needs to do anything that needs to be done in the world of diplomatic protocol. Much of it having served in previous administrations.
I submit that both of these incidents were quite intentional, indeed, were calculated to have an effect. Since I am not an insider, and , obviously lack the ability to read minds, I can only speculate on the underlying intent. However, I can offer some good guesses. In my opinion, there are 2 obvious benefits, for the Obama administration from doing this:
- To a degree, it detracts media and citizen attention from the financial insanity unfolding before our very eyes.
- More important, it ridicules an essential partner in our former attempts to preserve freedom in the world. Particularly, it ridicules an important ally of the Bush administration. One that is still trying to help us in Afghanistan, the war front the Obamanation says needs more troops!
Is there not a clear pattern here? So far, the Obama administration has offered to improve relations with virtually every government known to hate us, known to desire our destruction, while, at the same time, going out of their way to offend our most important, most powerful ally.
No my friends, this was no innocent gaff. It is part of a plan to reduce America to just another weak state ruled by a one-world government.
The time to wake up and smell the oppression is now! Soon, the administration will be so powerful that it will be impossible to resist. And, when I say SOON, I mean it. This process is going forward at a speed that surprises even a cynic like me.
Send your tea bags and go to the tea parties. Then go home and start working with your neighbors to form/reinforce a local militia.
Or, you can just sit there and watch your freedom disappear, as you moan: “if we only had term limits”; “if we only had (you fill it in)”; “why doesn’t somebody do something?”; “why doesn’t the government fix itself?”.
As they take away everything you have worked for, I suggest you also moan to your new masters “why me? I didn’t do anything”. At least you will have the comfort of having been right about something.

When I noodled the same subject with similar conclusions, it did occur to me that all those protocol experts work in Foggy Bottom… and report to Hillary Clinton.
