Obama’s Magical Victory Tour Coming to Omaha
As citizens of Omaha, we will tell the president what we think of his socialist, unconstitutional and pro-Muslim Brotherhood ways.

President Obama is following his final State of the Union address with a “victory lap” beginning in Omaha. He will be “celebrating the successes” of his policies by coming to a city that neither embraced them nor supported them, and certainly didn’t benefit from them. His vision for the next decade outlined in the SOTU looks remarkably like the fetid carcass of a welfare state already bloated beyond our ability to maintain.
Things like “wage insurance” (where the government makes up the difference when a displaced worker has to take a lower paying job) are more of the same greased skids to chronic dependency that is the hallmark of a pliant and supine citizenry. Hardly the stuff of soaring pride.
The occasion of President Obama’s visit has generated an organic backlash among a significant number of Omahans, the tone of which could best be described as disdain (coupled with a healthy dose of revulsion).
Omaha, Nebraska has largely avoided the economic and social paroxysms that have beset our nation in the last decade; not because we are protected by our many famous and powerful residents, but because we yet adhere to the core values of personal responsibility, rock-solid work ethic and old-fashioned Midwestern good sense.
As the rest of the nation honed their “peak and valley” skills, Omaha wisely avoided the fads, ignoring the siren songs of the economic hucksters and the job-killing fantasies of the social engineers, preferring instead to fix the road ahead rather than blindly blaze new trails to old destinations.
As a result of our collective common-sense, Omaha has enjoyed one of the lowest sustained unemployment rates in the country (averaging nearly 4% below the national average), the nation’s most affordable real estate market, a business-friendly mindset with a cost of living 19% below national average and a job growth rate nearly 10% above the national average. Not to mention a rate of crime low enough for other cities to routinely ask “What’s your secret?”
Now, after Omaha has endured seven long years of Democrat misrule in Washington DC, the leader of that mediocrity parade intends to come to our city to claim our success as his own.
Our president is unduly cognizant of his own existence and this common failing of the hopelessly self-absorbed is what animates his final-year strategy. He’s leaving, and those of us in the hinterlands need to understand just how much we’ll miss him…or so it goes in the fevered recesses of his legacy-obsessed mind.
It would appear that Omaha – long known for pragmatism and good sense – will be offering some of each to the “boy-king.”
When word reached Omaha that Obama intends to tout the “successes” of his policies by citing Omaha as an example, the reaction was swift. The Omaha-based Global Faith Institute immediately released a statement saying, in part:
The Global Faith Institute (GFI) believes the President ought to know the citizens of Omaha have a definition of “success” that differs greatly from his, and we have some questions…
Is it "success" to insist on resettling Syrian refugees knowing we can’t adequately screen them?
Is it “success” to protect known front operations of the Muslim Brotherhood in America by halting a pending indictment against them in federal court?
Or perhaps it's a "success" when the [resident says that "something must be done" to make America safer, and that "something" turns out to be making life difficult for lawful gun owners, rather than dealing with Islamic supremacists and border security.
Omaha anxiously awaits the president’s arrival. We'd like to talk about all that "success.”
