President Obama insists that had he been permitted to run
for a third term and run against Donald Trump, he would have won.
Considering the US’ recent departure from policy in
abstaining from UNSC Resolution 2334, maybe it’s time for President Obama to ponder
another Presidency, where he would not be bound by term limits and/or Constitutions
and could rule by pen and phone.
I speak, of course, of the office of President of the
Palestinian Authority. Although the current
occupant of that office is in the 11th year of a four-year term,
that might prove attractive to Obama: once in office, he wouldn’t have to work
to win it again.
While the situation on the ground would limit Obama’s rule
to the “West Bank” as the Gaza Strip is currently ruled by the duly elected
Hamas [thanks, Condi], the other Palestinian terroritory could prove fertile
ground for Obama’s penchant for social engineering, and he could again force his progressive agenda on a reluctant population, but this time
without the pesky obstacles of constitutional checks and balances.
Let’s start with the President’s signature domestic achievement. Here he might already have a mandate, because
apparently in Gaza there have been open clinics for a long time, and he would
find himself leading from behind.
Ohamascare would provide him a useful blueprint to transfer elements of
the ACA eastward.
The new President could also attempt to impose his vision of
a gun-free polity and attempt to confiscate private weapons. While he might find the population reluctant
to turn in their toys, he would have a police force at his disposal without one
white cop. He could also work closely
with what’s left of the UN and use them to store the weapons, as they do for
Hamas in Gaza. This would be balanced by
the fact that the PA has no army: instead of gutting a military like in the US,
Obama wouldn’t even need to dispense with one in the first place.
Then there would be Planned Parenthood. One guesses that there are no family planning
clinics in the terroritory, and funding would be at a premium. No worries: here comes George Soros to the rescue. Plus, it would give him the excuse to start
taxing the rich, and this would be the final piece of the puzzle: everyone in
the upper echelons of the PA and PLO has hoarded cash, especially the family of
the late Yasser Arafat [hello, estate tax], and the new President could either
tax them into penury or otherwise seize his needed funds by executive order.
Finally, there would be the issue of illegal
immigration. Obama would come into
office with a ready-made population of “illegals”: the Jewish “settlers”. What an opportunity to blatantly ignore
immigration laws for the benefit of a “minority” group. And with the money he gets from Soros and from
the new tax regime, he could support and protect their continued existence in
defiance of the law, just like the sanctuary cities back home.
Yes, Mr. Obama. Here
is your progressive wonderland, where you can turn an entire population into
community organizers. Isn’t this what
you always wanted?
