Here is more proof the current batch of Republicans practice sophistry. Lately, they have been fond of talking about how President Obama is a dictator. Rush Limbaugh recently stated that President Obama’s immigration policy is a “dictator’s wet dream”. They think President Obama is circumventing the constitution with health care. They think that fast and furious is President Obama’s plan to snatch their guns from their cold, dead fingers. Funny, just a few months ago Rush and Santorum were calling President Obama an appeaser. Are appeaser’s dictators? Are dictators appeasers? I actually thought he was trying way to hard the first few years of his presidency to compromise with the Republicans to get things accomplished. They only turned any attempt to compromise into yet another reason to attack him. He was not leading. He was appeasing. Appeasers do not lead, they try to compromise. Well, now that he is leading, he is a dictator. President Obama should have figured out a long time ago that folks that hate you will not compromise with you. Hate is irrational and compromise is rational. If you try to lead them they will call you a dictator. It is an un-winnable situation. The best thing President Obama can do IS lead by circumventing the haters as much as possible. Most folks do not have that kind of hate for President Obama. His biggest strength is to show them up for what they are by leading. They will screech and foam at the mouth, too bad so sad. They will put a spectacle on that turn the vast majority of Americans against the Republicans. President’s Obama’s best political asset is that folks like him. When someone throws a temper tantrum against a person an observer likes, the observer feels sympathy for the person they like and dislikes the brute. President Obama should not let haters set the agenda for his initiatives. He should let the people that got him there set the agenda and we want him to lead until the Republicans are screaming like the zombies in “Invasion of the Body Snatchers”.
