In Greek mythology the goddess Nemesis lived in her sanctuary north of Marathon and delivered divine retribution to those guilty of hubris. Given the events of 2014 so far, I think it is fair to say that Nemesis has relocated to 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. In fact, she appears to have moved in.
For the four years of his first term and for part of the first year of his second, President Obama seemed absolutely above it all.
Despite the expressed concerns of his military leaders, he pulled every last soldier out of Iraq and nothing untoward seemed to happen. For many months, Obama was able to claim Iraq as his own policy success.
As he stood by unsustainable promises concerning the health care law that now bears his name, Republican concerns as to that unsustainability were dismissed as so much partisan sniping.
As Iran ignored the president’s sometimes bellicose statements concerning the unacceptability of that nation developing nuclear weapons, no one really seemed to mind.
Red lines that were drawn regarding the use of chemical weapons in Syria quietly disappeared with little real objection.
The multiple debacles leading up to and following the terrorist attack on the U.S. diplomatic mission in Benghazi – failures that would likely have toppled a Republican administration – were successfully turned into a caricature of talk radio extremism.
For most of five years, President Obama floated from fundraiser to golf outing to celebrity dinner to gaseous speech to opulent vacation with little apparent regard for any consequence of any personal act of either commission or omission.
But then, starting in the fall of last year, the HealthCare.gov website debuted as a total failure.
Nemesis began packing her bags.
Then it came to light that the IRS’s targeting of conservative groups was not the work of a handful of agents gone rogue but rather the result of decisions taken at the very highest levels of the agency. Exactly how high remains to be seen.
Then we learned that 40 or more military veterans died while waiting for care at the Veterans Hospital in Phoenix. That story ripped the cover off of a Veterans Affairs department that has been systematically hiding its dysfunction while concurrently paying millions in bonuses to its executives.
That’s when Nemesis decamped from her Greek home near Marathon and began moving her things into the Lincoln Bedroom.
It appears that she will be living there for the next two and a half years.
Nemesis, the ancient mythological Greek goddess whose job it is to take down those guilty of hubris, is now living fulltime in the Obama White House – holding the most hubristic president in memory to account.
Which would be fine if that accounting could be confined to the metaphorical.
But unfortunately, Nemesis’s metaphorical visit will serve to paralyze a real world Obama White House just as the chickens set loose in the Obama first term start coming home to roost.
We may be about to find out just how long two and a half years really is.
Yes, ah yes,
This is nemesis, if we are only lucky to get just this.
We are in line for a huge surprise, if Obama gets his way.
Then we will rebel & the Obamaites will say” Its because we are against blacks, see??
People keep forgetting that the book Obama( & all community organizers) work from & memorize its morays & plan is “rules for Radicals” by Saul Alynski.
This book( I bought it because it is so-o- horrid I keep referring to it to see if Obama is ‘on track ‘with its principles. He is)) is dedicated to the DEVIL.
Yet people use it , teach from it & quote it despite its actual dedication& the terrible onus that this very dedication places on the knowledge therein; let alone to praise it & follow it!!
Get the idea Obama hates this country & would like to see its demise. Obama also hates people who articulators of USA success.
People want to keep defending Obama, as if he is trying to be a ‘good’ President.
He wants to destroy us.
If you follow that logic all his actions makes sense.
What doesn’t make sense is to try to fit Obama into a’good President” mold.
He ain’t it and never was.
The only thing that I can say is that what is done in the dark, will eventually come to light. Hopefully, we are seeing that now and not just once again false hope that something is going to be done with this imposter in OUR HOUSE!!!
