In MyAmerica, it's supposed to be about substance. The substance of your faith, your morals, your judgment, your decision making, your word...but mostly, your character. In Soetoro's America, it's not about the substance of your character, or any of the other more noble attributes listed above. It's about the substance of his narrative. Because in OBama's world, the most important thing is to make sure the narrative keeps the low-information voter in line and in his base.
A classic and current example is how, during one of the most stressful weeks in his Presidency, the narrator-in-chief lost the national narrative. Scandal overtook the narrative and sent the cockroaches scurrying trying to find a way to limit the damage. Unfortunately for the Administration, most "common" folk could see right through the smoke screens. As the Scandals grew and opened a gaping chest wound in the O'Bama narrative, the uncharacteristic took place. The Press turned on the President, (albeit temporarily until Valerie Jarrett took over and held her not-so-secret meeting with loyal journalists) and actually began to do some investigative reporting.
All of a sudden, Benghazi, the IRS, and the DoJ's disturbing covert activities against a Fox News reporter, was at the forefront, and the narrative was in danger. So what did Barry do? He turned to his left, went back to the barrel, and brought up the notion that closing GITMO was all of a sudden back at the top of his priority list! Bwhahahaha...SERIOUSLY! This is the best you could do to try and regain the narrative? Bring up a topic that he KNOWS will never happen and is so crazy even radical leftists can only dream of it, and yet...he went there to shore up the base and change the narrative. This in the shadow of an Islamist beheading in London (that he refused to characterize as terrorism); This in the shadow of the Boston bombings, itself a terrorist act; This in the face of the Nadal Hussien farce where he refuses to call it terrorism (workplace violence my ass), so that the bad guy is still drawing a paycheck, but the victims families are left holding the bag with no recourse. (In what insane universe is that right!).
And yet, it may work. How sad, how pathetic. It makes little difference if he could actually close GITMO...because thats not what its about...its all about the narrative. There is no way John Q. Public wants these terrorists in their backyard on US soil. But that matters not...it's the narrative. The narrative is power, the narrative is what counts. Because in Soetoro's America, it doesn't matter if you intend to do something you know you can't do, it's simply enough to provide the base with false hope by saying it. The base is all about low information voters, which is why he is always in campaign mode...to continue the narrative and assure the base. Talk about a paucity of substance!
In MyAmerica, we must continue to impress upon our elected representatives the danger and chaos of smoke and mirror politics, and to stay true to the truth. We must change the narrative to one of substance...substance of character, morality, and integrity. We must show a connection to the narrative of positive growth and policies. In MyAmerica, the power is in the substance of our actions, of our character, of our morals and our faith...and not in the prose scrolling across the TelePrompter.
Because its MyAmerica2
