On the surface Obama appears to be helter skelter with his multiple disconnected objectives, but in reality all these initiatives are integral to his socialist transformation that requires dismantling the Constitution and fundamental political, cultural, and economic changes.  Ever since Obama took office, critics of his leadership style have accused him of tackling too many initiatives at once. That blurs the focus of the White House and Congress and prevents the president from communicating a clear theme about his agenda to ordinary Americans. Now, as Obama’s approval rating in polls has dwindled to 47%, that criticism has grown louder. President Obama's anti-American philosophy lies in his willingness to "break free from the essential constraints that were placed by the Founding Fathers in the Constitution...." and to believe he is exempt from the Oath of Office he took to "protect and defend the Constitution."  Within such a paradigm, anything is permissible, including the complete destruction of American economic strength as part of an abstract notion of redistributive justice. As an anti-capitalist Obama equates money with power and has no problem printing more “monopoly money” and buying votes  in Congress or now in Copenhagan in order to advance his socialist agenda. As a shrewd socialist Obama employs the 1966 Cloward–Piven strategy to overwhelm Congress with their leftist transformation agenda creating serial “crises” that are too big to understand, but require immediate radical “reforms” without the need to read the 1,000+ page legislation. It is a very real problem since the attention is scattered and the message is scattered as well. Obama is a master at obfuscation distracting attention from his unpopular initiatives by diverting attention to minor media issues such as Obama’s birth certificate, Harvard race profiling, and White house gate crashers. Meanwhile he is not averse to throwing staffers and acolytes “under the bus” to extend controversy while stealthily advancing his liberal agenda behind the scenes. Obama has also drawn particular fire for the substance of his foreign policy agenda, which emphasizes “photo op” dialogue with foreign allies and adversaries alike with no pre-conditions and apparently no progress required. The White House believes that multiple priorities and messages are tailor made for the new media infrastructure on the Internet, social networks and niche publications. The belief is that there has been a fundamental shift in how people consume news and information, and in-depth knowledge of issues is no longer necessary. It is in Democrat’s best interest that no one has all the information, so spoon feeding selected data and “sound bites” to selected audiences is part of the overall communications strategy. President Obama’s biggest political exposure is that the impact of his policies will not live up to expectations and his approval will continue to plunge with disappointing results in economic growth, unemployment, health care, the Afghanistan war,  and international relations.
