A New Term: Obama Counsel

Poker players say if you cannot tell who the mark is within three minutes of joining the game, it is you. What with the relentless bad moves on Obama's part, and the withering constant backlash, it is clear Obama is to take the blame for all of the Bushes disastrous policies.  Further, he is to be the one who introduces new disasters, such as self-directed political murder, so by the next election, it is part of our landscape.

At the Wannsee conference, where the Nazis sorted out the final solution, one big issue was how things appeared to the rest of the world.  The Nazis at least cared about what people thought.  Not so the United States. Our Catholic candidates openly advocate murder, with no fear of contradiction from the Bishops.  I have no doubt that some bishops are appalled, but the advice is to say nothing.  The bishops are told to view it as a matter of prudential judgment.

What to call the circumstance in which a leader is fed relentlessly bad advice, for the benefit of others?  It is nothing new, in Obama's case it is a matter of scale, not kind.  Never before has a leader been so ill advised, and apparently so unaware.  For lack of a better term, how about "Obama Counsel."

Obama has as many people as Clinton did to manage and spin the message, Obama even had some of Clintons people.  But every day, what we get is one nutty move after another.  Why, one might think it is on purpose!

Update: You cannot go more than a few hours before there is another outrage laid to Obama.  This is meant to incite rage.  To resume...

I said apparently unaware.  It is possible that Obama is under the impression that he is on his way to re-election based on success after success.  He may be oblivious.  It is certainly possible that his handlers, the people who would make a Bill Clinton get re-elected, are doing Obama dirt.  But I doubt it.  Obama has been to Brazil to see the oil fields to which he will be USA's industry ambassador and centimillioniare to keep his mouth shut after Hillary wins.

The Bishops too have been taking horrendous advice.  I recall reading an article in the 1980s where an advisor to the Canadian bishops recounted with glee how he stage managed the Canadian bishops offering Marxist platform as their social agenda.

The Archbishop of Seattle included a lawyer notorious in false accusation work in a committee to come up with a means to defend the church against false charges.  After setting up the archbishop with Obama counsel, she turned around and got millions in settlements.  Touche!

The Vatican is tangled in a bit of a scandal having to do with banking.  It may just be the powers that be tormenting the Vatican, but it may be God smiting the Vatican for engaging in usury.
