In remarks at the G20 summit last week, President Obama made headlines when he warned that no nation should have an “undue advantage,” if the world is to enjoy economic recovery.
The president was referring to currencies and China specifically, but his remarks expose an anti-American mind set which holds that that the people of the United States do not deserve the prosperity that this nation has enjoyed over the years.
In Obama’s warped logic, Americans must be forced to give up extravagant lifestyles that are not eco-friendly and which take more than our fair share of the goods and services produced in the global economy.
Lowering expectations is the Marxist euphemism that would apply to the Obama agenda for rewriting the American Dream to a more modest and politically correct way of living.
Spread the wealth from undeserving Americans to the poor and meek throughout the world would be another apt way of describing Obama’s obsession with the “undue advantage” nonsense.
Successful American capitalists always seek an “unfair advantage in domestic and foreign markets, meaning that they are committed to providing the most competitive goods and services in order to be # 1.
President Obama would forego America’s lust for being # 1 with a wuss policy that would seek to assure that the U.S. is”liked” all across the globe.
While Obama is adamant in promoting “no undue advantage” for the unwashed masses, when it comes to his personal life, “undue advantage” is tenaciously defended as an elitist perk which he is entitled to because---well, just because he is BHO!
Should this arrogant, elitist political novice ever get serious about reversing “undue advantage,” he should start by removing his daughters from private schools designed for families with an undue advantage. Give up the elitist schools and enroll YOUR children in public schools, Mr. President!
He could also waive special health care perks available to him and his family and rely on the more modest ObamaCare, which the president believes average Americans should be forced to purchase.
Finally, if President Obama really gives a damn about “undue advantage” and spreading the wealth, he would find a way to reduce his income from the $5 million he reportedly managed in 2009.
Undue advantage?
That pretty much sums up the life and career of one Barack Hussein Obama!
