What the great French historian Alexis de Tocqueville would make of todays Obama administration were he alive today is anyones guess. But I would wager that the author of LAncien Régime and Democracy in America would be less than impressed with the extravagance and arrogance on display among the White House elites that rule America as though they had been handed some divine right to govern with impunity.
It is epitomised above all by the Presidents relentless drive towards big government against the will of the American people, and the dramatic increases in government spending and borrowing, which threaten to leave the US hugely in debt for generations. It is also showcased by Barack Obamas drive towards a socialised health care system, which, as Ive noted before, is a thinly disguised vanity project for a president who is committed to transforming the United States from the worlds most successful large-scale free enterprise economy, to a highly interventionist society with a massive role for centralized government.
There is however a political revolution fast approaching Washington that is driven not by mob rule but by the power of ideas and principles, based upon the ideals of the Founding Fathers and the US Constitution. It is a distinctly conservative revolution that is sweeping America and is reflected in almost every poll ahead of this Novembers mid-terms. It is based on a belief in individual liberty, limited government, and above all, political accountability from the ruling elites. The Obama administrations mantra may well be let them eat cake, as it continues to gorge itself on taxpayers money, but it will be looking nervously over its shoulder as public unease mounts.
The Obama presidency increasingly resembles a modern-day Ancien Régime: extravagant and out of touch with the American people – Telegraph Blogs
In the UK Telegraph of all places.
But this article is right. This administration is just DRENCHED in the hubris of "do as I say, not as I do!"
While the Obama Democrats ignore the anger of the American people (and belittle it calling it "tea baggers") the American people are counting the days until November.
