Neville Chamberlain Obama's Speech Of Regulatory Appeasement To Wall Street
Early in 2009 I remarked at how history treats naiveté and appeasement. Especially when dealing with power-seekers and evil-doers. Many of whom are just aching to hold hands and profess their undying love for all of humanity and confess of their shortcomings. That's a joke for those who are half asleep while reading this.
Appeasement seems to be a relatively common theme in this current Presidency, both at home and abroad. Being cordial, gracious and virtuous is one thing. Appeasement is quite another. Appeasement sends a signal of weakness to people who are often sociopathic predators who sense such weakness. If nothing else, most power-seekers have sociopathic tendencies and can easily sense weakness. It's no coincidence President Roosevelt labeled the American war engine the Arsenal of Democracy and that religion often portrays God as a god of wrath. We know by human behavior throughout history that the fight against evil cannot be won through naiveté and appeasement. And make no mistake, we are indeed witnessing evil, often sociopathic, today in the fraud and corruption that consumes Wall Street.
President Obama's plea to Wall Street to join him in financial reform is a disgrace in my opinion. We cannot and will not ever get true financial reform now that we see the methods used against a cabal that understands one thing. Power. And I respect President Obama immensely as a person so I get no satisfaction watching this charade. One of the problems with this Presidency is that it seems to have a problem of being able to stand up straight on issues of virtue, leadership and re-establishing the rule of law aka confidence in our government. That's usually caused by some type of spinal disorder. Neville Chamberlain also had the same condition. We saw what happened with Neville - his enemies, both domestic and abroad, consumed him with the ease of an after dinner mint.
It's time for our President to wake up. One can be cordial, stately and even gregarious while being an asshole. And sometimes you just have to be asshole when dealing with assholes, something both Presidents Teddy and Franklin Roosevelt knew quite well. It's time for Lady Columbia to smite the evil-doers.
