The scores and scores of millions of Americans who voted for
President Obama in the recent election and in the one before that were
heartened today by reports that all along there has been a Democratic method to
the madness of the President’s doing nothing whatsoever to slow down much less
reverse the exploding wealth and power imbalance in America.
There is growing evidence that very early on in his first
term, the President’s circle of economic advisors from Wall Street convinced
him that just as there is a rock bottom that the Takers in America must hit
before they see the error of their fiscal ways clearly enough to change them,
so is there a rock top that the Makers must hit before they start looking long
and hard at the behaviors that got them there.
“In a word,” one advisor is said to have told the new
president, “the super rich have to want to change. There’s nothing we can do
but get out of the way and let them all top out.”
In light of this revelation, the tide of hope is flowing yet
again among Obama apologists, who now see his apparent selling of them out as
actually a masterful jujitsu move whereby the irresistible force of the Makers’
own breakneck upward mobility is used against them to bring them down.
“It makes perfect sense,” said Juanita Reyes, founder and
president of the Barack O’Bust super PAC. “He’s been doing kung fu all along.
“And I’m already tired of hearing the professional liberals
gripe now about not having been let in on the plan. Somebody needs to explain
to them in small easy words that rich people by definition are not stupid. You
can’t just go around announcing how you’re going to outsmart them.
“That’s why after decades of this country’s building up of
an unprecedentedly mammoth wealth and power imbalance in favor of the wealthy
and powerful the President is playing along with the super rich and all their
Republican henchwomen and men as they keep unbelievably insisting that to fix
the economy the Makers broke we have to balance anything we take from the
Makers by taking more from the Takers.
“President Obama’s got the right wing working right along
with him to sucker the Makers into taking so much as to make them take to heart
all the heartlessness of their taking so much from the Takers.”
Said newly hope-refilled two-time Obama supporter Nick
Webster from Toledo, Ohio, “Leave it to this harmony-seeking president to have
had a trick up the sleeve of his warrior monk’s robes the whole time.
“With all his zennish love of symmetry, all he wants is for
the left and the right to look forward together to the grand moment when the
99% and the 1% bottom and top out at the same time respectively and we all come
together on the same economic page.
“It’s time for the left to just sit tight and let the
President take back all his clever campaign promises about not taking it when
the Makers try to make a shambles of the social safety net, and also his
promises about making the Makers take some responsibility for all the heartache
all their taking makes.
“And it’s not the President’s fault either that it’s taking
so long for the Makers to wake up. Who could have known that the super rich
would prove so impervious to shame over all the hope-crushing pain they leave
in the aftermath of their constantly breaking new ground in the field of
inequity.
“My only concern right now is that the super rich won’t
reach their moment of truth until after Obama’s out of office and Hillary will
get all the credit for it.”
In related news, President Obama is reportedly drawing up a
constitutional framework for his executive decision to unilaterally make
Republicans stop stopping him from selling Democrats out to them.
