Fear of the Regime Fuels the Great Recession

The one thing is simply that BHO has constructed an environment of fear — fear built up gradually over the last 18 months (24 months, if you count the final stretch of campaign ’08) that is quite obvious if you assemble the jigsaw puzzle pieces left by The One and key players in his regime. What results is a “disturbingly coherent picture” of the America to which Chairman Zero aspires.

The hallmark of the Great Obama Recession is a business environment moping listlessly in an apprehensive, wait-and-see-mode — that “jobless recovery” that could go “double-dip” before the year is out. Why ever could this be? Victor Davis Hanson tried to pin down a businessman to explain exactly what Obama has done to him that prevents him from hiring and expanding. The guy couldn’t name any one thing — only a sense of doom. Of course, the one thing is simply that BHO has constructed an environment of fear — fear built up gradually over the last 18 months (24 months, if you count the final stretch of campaign ’08) that is quite obvious if you assemble the jigsaw puzzle pieces left by The One and key players in his regime. What results is a “disturbingly coherent picture” of the America to which Chairman Zero aspires.

First, there are the appointees and their various public statements — again, insignificant in isolation, but telling in their totality. Why would any executive hire the self-avowed Communist gadfly Van Jones as his adviser for “green” jobs? Regulation is one thing, but an interior secretary promising a “boot on the neck” of a company is quite another. Why does a labor secretary reassure, gratuitously, illegal aliens that they are not really subject to lawful enforcement of the laws?

What is California agribusiness to make of the energy secretary’s prediction that Golden State farms will soon dry up and blow away? Is that a promise or a prediction? If the latter, is it lamented or welcomed?

Was not Mao the world’s most lethal Communist? Why then would a White House communications director see him as an inspirational figure?

NASA historically marries private enterprise and government purpose to study and explore space; why then would President Obama direct its head to put “foremost” the use of our resources to make Muslims feel good about their scientific past?

Why ram through on a recess appointment a new health-care czar who has repeatedly warned that good health care is synonymous with redistribution of resources and wealth?

And, of course, there is the Chairman himself.
