Obama’s House of Cards

Nobody’s Opinion

Right before this interview today on George Stephanopoulos This Week, they showed “President” Obama talking about Kevin’s Spacey’s very popular Netflix program: House of Cards. (I could NOT find Obama’s take anywhere on Youtube) Obama laughed as he usually does when caught in a lie, and remarked that House of Cards was simply a fantasy, but he sure wished that he was like Frank Underwood (Kevin Spacey’s character)  because he could get a lot more done.

If you haven’t seen House of Cards, it’s like the West Wing, but more realistic.

Obama’s comment reminded me of a comment that President George W. Bush’s Quote made while HE was President.

“I told all four that there are going to be some times where we don’t agree with each other, but that’s OK. If this were a dictatorship, it would be a heck of a lot easier, just so long as I’m the dictator,” Bush joked.—CNN.com, December 18, 2000

Every conservative that watches Frank Underwood on House of Cards, thinks he is watching every democratic politician that every graced the halls of power. George Stephanopoulos and Obama have gone out their way in interviews to reiterate how NOTHING like the program ever happens in real life Washington D.C..

Right.

The problem I have is deciding if Obama is more like Frank Underwood or Tony Soprano.  Remember when he said when they bring a knife to the fight, he will bring a gun?

Before you say, “He was just kidding.”…ask yourself: Should any politician even talk that way?

House of Cards has become a big hit.  As the writer said tonight, where else are you going to find so much drama but in Washington?

Kevin says in the beginning of this interview, most people think that the show is 99 percent correct.  Many of us do believe that our politicians, murder, cheat, steal, and do just about everything under the sun, and to think this, is not farfetched at all. It’s not a fantasy.  Just turn on your TV set.

What’s even more impossible to believe, is that so many people still don’t think our government would resort to such measures.

But…we know, by the polls, that both Congress and the President are at all-time lows…so I’d say we’re getting there. And that’s the point: THEY know it too.

(What to do about it? )

We see it right before our eyes. Corruption is at the highest levels of our government and nobody ever goes to jail. The Clintons alone had at least 60 people who worked for them over the years, all mysteriously die—whether by accident, or heart attacks. What are the odds?

When Hillary Clinton, as First Lady, ran into Vince Foster’s office to shred documents, after he ‘killed’ himself, and before the police could get there—well—- it didn’t exactly make her look innocent. What was she looking for?

When Obama lies almost every day, even at the expense of people losing jobs and medical care, can we expect him NOT to be capable of murder?

Many Americans think so, and that’s why the series is so popular. Kevin is brilliant in House of Cards,  but notice, at the end of this interview he makes the same point about politicians that Steve Spielberg made in Lincoln—which is: Presidents must commit a few crimes to get the end result they want. In LBJ’s case it was the passage of three civil rights bills. Therefore the ends justify the means. It’s the one solid mantra of any ‘progressive.’ They live by that, and it excuses every single crime they make. That’s why Sibelius was never held responsible, or the IRS, never held responsible, or Hillary Clinton, never held responsible….

House of Cards at My House

(Hell, Bill Clinton knowingly gave blood filled with AIDS to Canada while governor of Arkansas, and he was never held responsible.)

Kevin Spacey is a liberal last time I checked, and the new series mentions the Tea Party, the elections coming up…and some themes of liberals, like the “rapes’ of the military, and big businesses controlling the White House. But, Kevin’s character is a democratic rascal…so House of Cards is going to be a big hit with the majority of the American people, just like 24 was.

But— I remind myself, the very popular 24 helped American get used to the idea of electing the first black President by portraying him as one of the most honest, politicians to ever grace the White House–the actor himself even admitted this:

Haysbert believes that his playing of David Palmer on 24 helped Barack Obama—whom Haysbert supported—to win the 2008 Democratic presidential nomination.^[10][11]–Wikipedia

How did that turn out? Obama was NOT the honest President from 24, in fact, he was the exact opposite.

So…Are we being manipulated again, with the very lovable character of Frank Underwood?

Wasn’t Tony Soprano lovable? Are you seeing the pattern?

Is the House of Cards just another social propaganda mechanism to get the masses of conservatives left in America, hooked on a pop culture’s series, only to find out, that Hollywood puts out the baited hook, you get addicted, then all of a sudden you are accepting the fact that Presidents should be able to kill, cheat, lie and destroy, for the benefit of –the American people?

A ruthless man, is to be admired?

And would Hollywood participate in such deception?

That thought has been a giant dichotomy to me. Why would Steven Spielberg make such a strong stand and support for Israel, and then come out and support Obama.

Or—is it always just about the money?

Do they try to write the truth in-between the lines, but are as duplicitous to the politicians as the politicians are to us?

Nobody Knows, but I wish I did. And that’s the theme I am coming up with.  Many democrats believe the American people are not capable of running their own lives and only the ELITES know what is good for us, and I’ve even heard some democrats say that they were GLAD that Obama lied to the people, otherwise Obamacare would have never been passed.

And if that’s true, then I think it’s about time we blew Obama’s flimsy and corrupt House of Cards back to Hollywood.

Frank Underwood, would,  I HOPE— be pleased.
