First Class Warrior

Barack Hussein Obama is not the first populist demagogue in the history of American politics, but he is the first such creature to gain the nation's highest office. Late Louisiana Governor Huey P. Long was possessed of similar political proclivities. Long attempted to pit the poor against those who were better-off. With such an exploiter inhabiting the Oval Office, the decline of the economy was utterly predictable. A class envy game player has led the country precisely where he wants it to be. Obama postures himself as fighting for the underdog in America (and around the world), but he is no shining knight-protector. Real modern day Spartans fell in Afghanistan, so that the usurper-in-chief could turn American against American back home and position himself as the faultless savior.
