Except for the date, 1984, George Orwell had it right.
Replete with doublespeak, innuendos, and outright falsehoods, the Inauguration speech given by Barack Hussein Obama to launch his second term was a verbal déjà vu of the 2009 $787 billion stimulus package…a wish list for “progressives.”
The full blown Orwellian hypocrisy was on clear display before Obama even opened his mouth.
Beginning with an invocation where the United States was describes as “One nation…indivisible…with liberty and justice for all.” What happened to “under God” in that invocation? When does one give an invocation at a presidential inauguration where the words of the American Pledge of Allegiance are intentionally edited to omit the word “under God”, and why?
That this glaring omission would be immediately followed by a magnificent rendition of The Battle Hymn of the Republic was truly ironic.
Then the Oval Office occupant, who happens to be the most politicized, divisive, partisan human in Washington DC, who has openly launched multi-pronged assaults upon the U.S. Constitution, publically committed perjury by taking the oath of office.
After that, the utter hypocrisy in his inaugural address was spoken before a gathering roughly one third the size of the 2009 inaugural crowd.
Obama preached that: “Together, we discovered that a free market only thrives when there are rules to ensure competition and fair play.”
Who decides what fair play is? Who decides what rules will ensure competition?
The American free market Capitalist system and free people making decisions that are in their best interests ensure competition and define fair play, not government interference.
He continued: “For we, the people, understand that our country cannot succeed when a shrinking few do very well and a growing many barely make it. We believe that America’s prosperity must rest upon the broad shoulders of a rising middle class. We know that America thrives when every person can find independence and pride in their work; when the wages of honest labor liberate families from the brink of hardship.”
A people, freed from the shackles of needless government involvement, built America into the most inventive, prosperous, generous and powerful nation in world history. No matter how long or how often the Marxist mantra of equality is repeated, those recitations do not change that a people free to pursue their happiness within a free market Capitalist system have a better chance of achieving prosperity than do unionized government sector clerks working for a federal ministry.
Obama pronounced: “For we remember the lessons of our past, when twilight years were spent in poverty, and parents of a child with a disability had nowhere to turn. We do not believe that in this country, freedom is reserved for the lucky, or happiness for the few. We recognize that no matter how responsibly we live our lives, any one of us, at any time, may face a job loss, or a sudden illness, or a home swept away in a terrible storm. The commitments we make to each other – through Medicare, and Medicaid, and Social Security – these things do not sap our initiative; they strengthen us. They do not make us a nation of takers; they free us to take the risks that make this country great.”
When twilight years were spent in poverty? Before big government socialist programs, which now account for over fifty percent of federal spending by a government that is over $16 trillion in debt and which borrows over forty percent of every dollar spent, one’s twilight years were spent living with family, who took better care of their elders with far more love and concern than is possible from an impersonal government bureaucracy where the elderly individual is little more than a number.
When parents of a child with a disability had nowhere to turn? Disabled children were loved and cared for by their families. When families looked for help, they looked to churches and private charities. They did not look to a bureaucrat more concerned with their own salaries and benefits than with the public they allegedly “served.”
He went on: “We, the people, still believe that our obligations as Americans are not just to ourselves, but to all posterity. We will respond to the threat of climate change, knowing that the failure to do so would betray our children and future generations. Some may still deny the overwhelming judgment of science, but none can avoid the devastating impact of raging fires, and crippling drought, and more powerful storms. The path towards sustainable energy sources will be long and sometimes difficult. But America cannot resist this transition; we must lead it. We cannot cede to other nations the technology that will power new jobs and new industries – we must claim its promise. That is how we will maintain our economic vitality and our national treasure – our forests and waterways; our croplands and snowcapped peaks. That is how we will preserve our planet, commanded to our care by God. That’s what will lend meaning to the creed our fathers once declared.”
This is where another item on the “progressive” laundry list comes to light. Here Obama reveals that based upon the junk science propagandizing “climate change” mythology, the disastrous waste of money on green energy companies and the lining of his political supports’ pockets at taxpayer’s expense will both continue unabated.
A true display of “progressive” doublespeak followed: “We will defend our people and uphold our values through strength of arms and rule of law.”
Through the strength of arms? This coming from a politician who, despite the fact that Islamofascists are waging war on America, is bent on retreating from the battlefield, unilateral nuclear disarmament and reducing national defense?
Rule of law? This from a fringe leftist career politician who chooses which laws his Attorney General enforces based upon their partisan political agenda? Who ignores legally passed laws while violating the U.S. Constitution by dictating his own through Executive Order?
On foreign policy the newspeak was on crystal clear display: “America will remain the anchor of strong alliances in every corner of the globe; and we will renew those institutions that extend our capacity to manage crisis abroad, for no one has a greater stake in a peaceful world than its most powerful nation.”
America will remain the anchor of strong alliances? This from someone who upon taking office shipped the bust of Winston Churchill back to Great Britain and who displays open disdain for Israel and its leaders? Who continues to put Israel at existential risk by insisting on negotiating with an inflexible Iranian theocracy committed to Israel’s destruction? Who rushed the withdrawal from Iraq, thereby squandering the blood, treasure and sacrifice spent to create another ally in the Middle East, and is rushing withdrawal from Afghanistan, risking that the Taliban and Al Qaeda will fill the vacuum?
Then, a true display of the “progressive” agenda for the next four years was displayed with: “For our journey is not complete until our wives, our mothers, and daughters can earn a living equal to their efforts. Our journey is not complete until our gay brothers and sisters are treated like anyone else under the law – for if we are truly created equal, then surely the love we commit to one another must be equal as well. Our journey is not complete until no citizen is forced to wait for hours to exercise the right to vote. Our journey is not complete until we find a better way to welcome the striving, hopeful immigrants who still see America as a land of opportunity; until bright young students and engineers are enlisted in our workforce rather than expelled from our country. Our journey is not complete until all our children, from the streets of Detroit to the hills of Appalachia to the quiet lanes of Newtown, know that they are cared for, and cherished, and always safe from harm.”
Our wives, mothers and daughters earn a living equal to their efforts? This coming from a White House who’s underpaying of female staff is public knowledge?
Promoting gay marriage, attacking voter registration laws, amnesty through immigration reform and disarmament of Americans through gun control will be on the Oval Office check list.
Then the ultimate in hypocrisy was revealed: “For now decisions are upon us, and we cannot afford delay. We cannot mistake absolutism for principle, or substitute spectacle for politics, or treat name-calling as reasoned debate.”
We cannot mistake absolutism for principle? This from quite possibly the most inflexible absolutist in American political history? The real crisis lies in “progressives” mistaking Americans standing on American principles for absolutism.
We cannot substitute spectacle for politics? This from a non-stop political campaigner who is the poster child for photo-ops?
We cannot treat name-calling as reasoned debate? This from a rigid political ideolog who lectures and scolds his political opponents over their choice of words but remains absolutely silent when his political brethren use far more incendiary, unreasoned and divisive words?
There was nothing about the economy. There was virtually nothing about job creation, deficit or debt reduction.
This was a declaration that once again the era of big government is at hand.
Unlike the great inaugural speeches of the past, this was not a call for national unity, but a call to arms for his “progressive” allies.
With this speech Barack Hussein Obama ensures that America will remain the divided States. He confirms that compromise in any way shape or form is at the bottom of his list of priorities. As was the case in his first term, the destruction of his political opposition remains his primary concern.

Called the four seasons . OB is not going to talk about jobs because he is utterly clueless as to
How to create one . Period.
Psalm 127:1 says it right! Without the GOD of Creations hand guarding this nation, it's going to fall! We can hoff and poff all we want and nothing will change, it's only when "We The People" repent and ask GOD to forgive us and lead us bwck to HIM will our nation be saved, not until then. So look to somemore of the same progressive/communist agenda to become the norm! GOD save the USA and deliver it's people from rebellion!
God was intentionally omitted in the “pledge of allegiance” by gov’t "our" god, yet what’s its name said the "planet is commanded to our care by God"… obviously This Nation is not yet under what's its name's “god”!!!
Thanks to all for your great comments! There is much truth spoken here. The institutionalized "progressive" left have been incrementally insinuating themselves into academia, news media, Hollywood and politics for about 100 years. There is much danger and much work to be done over the long haul. 100 years of damage cannot be reversed in one or two election cycles. Stay devoted to America and stay strong! God bless!!
Raeman, we see it, but every effort to do something about it will be thwarted. Others have mentioned about evicting God. Well, it has been done, and now all will pay the price. I am personally convinced that the majority of republicans also want the change that o is bringing about. Be careful though to not give him all the credit/blame. Parents should have kept informed in what their children were being taught in school. They did not want to be bothered. God was removed and it did not bother the parents either, as much more important was their "personal pleasure", much of which was forbidden by God, so letting Him get kicked out was making it easier on their conscience, as they continued "enjoying the free life". In a book that God had authored thousands of years ago, he told that all this and more would happen. The more part is still coming and I guarantee you that "WE" are not going to like it. Oh He gave us an out also. He said that if we repented and prayed to Him asking, that He would "heal" our country. Sorry to drop all this onto the people on this site, but the perpetrators that are really to blame will not hear of it, will not understand it, and will refuse to change no matter how bad it gets. So just keep yourself presentable to God, and have total faith in Him, is the best chance we have.
2 Thessalonians 3:3
We all know what the problem is with this tyrant in office, but nobody seems to have a clue as to what we can do to change anything. Our rage and frustration have no reasonable outlets in light of the state run media and the cowardice of our elected representatives. The Republican establishment has given up; they have an inordinate need to be loved, and they cannot face the personal attacks they know they will receive if they oppose Obama. Few indeed have the courage to endure the treatment and isolation that Sarah Palin endured. And few indeed had the courage to come to her defense. But even worse, they know that Obama knows how to play politics chicago style; Get out of line and you pay a high price: financial and/or personal destruction. Washington is paralyzed by fear. And when God os driven out, FEAR steps in. This indeed is the Age of Mediocrity.
I am sorry to say this but after 50 or so years of liberal teachings and the placement of left thinking leaders in key government positions (and I am being kind) the people of the USA have become brainwashed. Just look at the emails you might receive the the friends that don't give a care and the people at the inauguration. They don't know who Obama is and don't care I could write more but I am disgusted.
Raeman, Americans are waking up fast. Why sorry excuse for a human Soros has his puppet, BO, on a fast track to disarm citizens. They will NOT succeed.
As I read the text I am forced to ask , "Why does no one see the Owell like nature of this administration ?" Why does no one question what the motives that drive this march to a Communistic form of government ? As the book 1984 was required reading for most high school and collage students in the 1960's and 70's and I suspect still is . Why does not someone see the similarities being pushed by this man and his followers . Has the Democratic party sunk that low that it must violate every thing that stands for America ? Not only have they advanced a candidate who's eligibility is questionable at best , they openly attack and attempt to destroy our Constitution while attempting to force tolitarian rule in our Senate . This is treason not progressive government . Americans must act now or face a total loss of everything we now take for granted
