Who is in Charge in Washington?

Recently there's been much publicity over the vacations the Obama family have been taking within the last several months.  We've been seeing pictures of President Obama traveling and playing golf during the oil spill crisis.  During the Memorial Day weekend, instead of visiting Arlington National Cemetery, President Obama and his family spent time in Chicago.  Back in July the Obama family traveled to Maine for vacation.  Last week Michelle Obama and her daughter Sasha went to a luxurious trip to Spain.  Last weekend, President Obama spent his time celebrating his 49th birthday playing basketball with some basketball players and eating barbeque.  Following Mrs. Obama's trip to Spain, the Obamas are headed to Florida.  Vacationing is nothing new to presidents.  The last few presidents vacationed quite often.  I can remember in August 2001 when President Bush spent the entire month of August at his ranch in Crawford, Texas.  I'm not going to pose the question on whether the Obamas should be vacationing extravagantly considering America is in a recession and the problems our country is facing.  It's amazing how much vacationing is taking place by the president considering the fact we face nuclear and terrorist threats and our country could head into bankruptcy anytime.  The question that comes to my mind is: Who's in charge in Washington?

This isn't the first time I've wondered that about a president.  There's been a number of times when Bush was president with the things taking place like they are that I wondered who was in charge.  Barack Obama is the president of the United States and he's the leader of the free world supposedly.  However, as carefree as he and even his predecessor George W. Bush acted, it appears like they aren't as in charge one might think.  I happen to believe that's the case. There are many forces involved in running our country that I believe nobody knows about.  There are monied interests such as the Federal Reserve and individuals like George Soros and the Rockefeller family who influence our economy.  There also is the Council of Foreign Relations that's involved with foreign policy involving the United States and the other countries.  We have the United Nations that exerts influence in world affairs.  There are numerous lobbyists in Washington that contribute millions of dollars to the coffers of our elected officials as well as lobby for interests of their own.  Anybody that believes that Congress and the President run this country need to think twice.  If they are the only ones that run this country, then they are absolutely the most foolish ignoramuses that ever existed.  It makes no sense to run this country into the ground economically and spend us into an oblivion.  It doesn't make sense nearly 37 years following the Arab Oil Embargo America hasn't rid itself of independence from foreign oil.  It's foolish for America to continue keeping troops in Iraq and Afghanistan unless there's an agenda somewhere taking place.  I believe the powers-that-be, whomever they may be, desire to see all these things take place.  Those of us that believe the Bible believe it's leading to the unveiling of the antichrist and the soon return of Jesus.

Most of the time when the economy tanks or there's a major castastrophe such as the recent Gulf Oil Spill where federal response to the cleanup of the spill was slow, we tend to blame the president for his lack of leadership in the midst of these crises because he's the face of America.  He's the one supposedly in charge.  It's true that there are many things he's at fault for.  He plays a role in the transformation of America into a socialist country.  However, I don't believe he controls everything.  I don't believe he's in control as much as some would like to believe.  America's road to socialism didn't begin with Barack Obama.  President Obama may not even finish the job even though it appears likely he will.  The road was paved long before Obama ever became president.  If I was to give a starting point, I would begin with FDR and the New Deal.  The previous administration (Bush) before Obama became president played a role in America's road to socialism.  Many of the executive powers that Obama possesses is the result of the Patriot Act that Bush signed into law in October 2001.  The government's recent takeovers of private industry such as Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, General Motors, Chrysler, and the healthcare industry was begun by the Bush administration with the Bush administration's bailout of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, and AIG, to name a few.  President Obama just picked up where Bush left off when he became president.  The current agena being pushed by Nancy Pelosi, Harry Reid, and President Obama is bigger than they are.  Regardless of whether or not they're re-elected, America's road to socialism will continue with or without them. 

I need to give a word of caution to those on the Right who believe Obama will be a one-term president: don't count your chickens until they're hatched.  Obama won't be defeated by a Republican who's a Progressive.  He won't be defeated by a Democrat-lite Republican who espouses many of the same policies as the Demcrats do.  He won't be defeated by a Republican who won't stand for anything.  As of yet, I don't see any Republican candidates who appear to be a formidable candidate in the running for president in 2012.  Obama won't be defeated by just anyone.  I stand against Obama and the Reid-Pelosi-Emanuel, and the Chicago machine.  However, this agenda is much larger than all those put together.  The socialist agenda they desire to be implemented in America will one day be carried to fruition with or without them.  They are all just characters playing their role in the transformation of America.  There are forces behind the scenes that are the mastermind behind the road to socialism which will one day create a one world government and the new world order.  I don't know all the forces involved in this grand scheme, but they're there.  President Obama, like the previous presidents before him, are just pieces of the puzzle putting everything in place for the coming of the new world order and the revealing of the antichrist.
