Elementary!


Sherlock Holmes, Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's fictional detective, demonstrated that the truth can often be found with an analysis of the obvious.

We will surely never know the full truth about what has gone on behind the scenes at the White House, but we can certainly draw some likely conclusions from the obvious.

Let's analyze. A group of business types donate heavily to the Obama campaign. They then invest a sum, a few million perhaps, in building a facility to manufacture solar panels. They had to know they could not compete in the world market. As their venture's obvious failure began to materialize, the Obama Administration awarded them some $500 million, after which they promptly folded. Nor a bad deal for them!

As Obama's reelection neared, his campaign saw that ill-informed voters were still supporting their man, likely assuring his re-election... if only those pesky conservatives did not interfere. Suddenly, the IRS began stalling conservative groups tax-exempt status applications by virtue of long, tedious application requirements and intimidating actions such as audits. This denied the applying groups their source of funds, effectively keeping them silent until after the election.

The Obama Administration figured that if everyone in the nation bought health insurance, the pool of funds would be so large, it could easily cover the cost of care for every person. But, a certain percent of the population, for whatever motivation, will not buy health insurance. So, the government would demand that everyone participate. Then, those troublesome Supreme Court justices said they cannot do that.

So, the dream of an all-inclusive pool of insurance buyers failed. But, the Administration can't bear to give up that dream, so they keep trying to "fix" the law, or, at least hide the failure for another election or two.

The Obama Administration proclaimed "I'd like to teach the world to sing, in perfect harmony. A song of peace that echos on, and never goes away", and set in place a "be nice" foreign policy. Now we have lost Libya, Syria, Egypt (almost), Crimea, and, it would seem we are hell-bent on losing Israel.

We blame Obama, because his was the name on the ballot, but who is behind all this? Does a group of people meet and decide these policies? Does one person throw out an idea and others acquiesce?

We cannot know the answers... we cannot identify the dragon. But like the knights of lore, we know the cure, we must cut off the head of the dragon. We can accomplish that in one way, remove Obama from the White House. Expiration of term will certainly do the trick. Impeachment is the quicker, Constitutional way.
