Bernie, Tiger and Barack

They are all frauds; Bernie and Tiger are paying the price; Obama is next

We’ve been on record almost since the inception of this website identifying Barack Obama as a fraud, and as having been elected on the basis of fraud. We have called for his resignation, or impeachment and removal, repeatedly. We know the Constitution; we know the law; and we know Barack Obama—so we’ve never been bothered or deterred by those ‘realists’ and ‘sophisticates’ and ‘elites’ who dismiss the whole resignation or impeachment scenario. Truth outranks them, and truth has a way of flushing fraud out in the open—and once it is out in the open, the consequences to the perpetrator can’t be avoided. Just ask Bernie Madoff.

And now comes Tiger Woods. Over at American Thinker, Lisa Schiffren has nailed the national angst involved in witnessing the complete unraveling of the mythical good-guy persona of Tiger Woods. Her piece deserves a full read. The Woods story is not about the discovery of marital infidelity—it’s about the discovery of what a fraud his public image is, and how many people who knew Woods was a fraud nevertheless worked mightily to cloak him with that false public image—because money, power or fame flowed to them from preserving that image.

The leaders of the sport of golf won’t want to say so publicly, but the best thing they could hope for is Woods’ voluntary, immediate and permanent retirement. Because if he wants to continue to play golf, the media and various PR hacks can spin until they are blue in the face about redemption and forgiveness and his right to exercise his talent—and all may have an element of merit to them—but the predominant reaction of people will be an irreversible combination of apathy and disdain springing from utter disillusionment.

There’s an ironic parallel here to the fortunes of GM—ironic since Woods made millions endorsing Buicks. No matter how much money and PR is thrown at GM advertising, the solid majority of Americans have crossed GM off their list of car suppliers. They despise what the government has done in taking them over; they do not trust a car company owned by the government; no one can make them buy GM cars, and they will not do so. GM is finished (unless and until it is returned to private ownership and freedom to operate, which is very unlikely to occur in time).

A few golf fans may still pay to watch Woods play, but the vast majority of people who make up the Saturday/Sunday galleries of golf tournaments are disgusted at the discovery of the complete disconnect between what Woods was portrayed to be, and who he actually is. No one can make them spend money to watch Woods play in golf tournaments, and they will not do so. The PGA and USGA are now in a pickle like they’ve never experienced. They are surely not the monitors of the private life of professional golfers; and their rules about who gets to play in their tournaments are based on golf skills and not life skills. But if people actually sense that the PGA and the USGA adopts and supports a private life/professional life distinction that seems to look the other way at the monumental fraud they helped perpetrate, people will turn completely away from the sport.

Which brings us to Barack Obama. He is not who he was portrayed to be. His public image as a post-partisan, post-racial ‘uniter’; as a wise and insightful and a capable leader; as anything other than a radical leftist America-hating ideologue, was and is completely false. Maybe 10-20% of the American people knew this before he was elected; another 10-20% knew it within six months after the election; and now we are very near having 50% of the American people know it. This is extremely significant. Because what we're talking about is not job approval ratings or about answers to other nebulous poll questions. It’s about how many Americans know the man is a fraud. Once that percentage tips past 50%, Obama’s presidency will be over, and the only question will be how quickly his removal takes place.

We think the tipping point has been reached, and every time Obama opens his mouth it is getting worse for him. Whether he talks about the economy, about which he knows nothing; or fiscal responsibility, the audacity of which simply boggles the mind; or global warming, which is now established as a certifiable hoax—Obama reveals himself as more of a fraud.

Bernie Madoff has been dealt with. Tiger Woods is watching his own destruction on a scale he can’t even comprehend, and he is completely powerless to stop it. Barack Obama is next.
