Pres. Obama: “To be ….” or say nothing
For weeks and perhaps months I have wrestled with various rationales as to why Pres. Obama does not descend the mountain top with his specific desires regarding HealthCare Reforms. Descending with a stone tabloid cradled in his arms, mind you, with large letters depicting verses, chapters and parables all neat and legible for all to see.
But alas, all of the rationales I envisioned full of “Thy shalt’s” and “Who begets what” turned out to be un-mitigated and un-requited loves.
I can not be sure when our President decided to not say anything of real, real importance to himself but whatever the reason, I have enough confidence in my personal opinion there were episodes during his primaries as having a lot to do with his decision. For example, since his nemesis could not get any traction on things he said or would say, they attached the appendage of an Achilles’ Heel to him with things his wife Michelle said, his friend William Ayers and what his Pastor of over twenty years, Jeremiah Wright, said and if memory serves me correctly, they were accompanied by loud background noises from a disgruntled choir director. I think it was during these time our 'President to be' mustered the discipline to go to the mountain top. After all, he is not what one would consider a stupid man.
If anyone has learned the lesson of being seen and not heard, I posit it is our Pres. Obama and further, I think I fully understand his decision to do so. In my opinion, it has become crystal clear anything, ANYTHING, the President says is fodder for his foes to trash and consider useless jabber to run news cycles, thereby satisfying personal agendi with added bonuses of paying mortgages and car notes. In my opinion, they would consider it (Gasp!) humanizing the President to acknowledge anything he has to say or suggest. To seriously take anything he says or suggest would surely, in their minds and in some circles be blasphemy, sacrilegious in other and in even more but smaller circles, simply foolhardy.
Fighting for the dignity of my Ancestors,
God bless Bill Gates, WPFW, C-SPAN and the spirits of the unborn for the help,

Coda: Of particular note to me was seeing this early morning footage of the non-speaking Pres. Obama on the tar mat at Dover Air Force Base.
