Obama: the World’s Crackerjack Box (Ltr. 13)
They, the world, each and every country and its entire leadership, sum total, are looking for the prize in the box, the Crackerjack Box. The world respects Obama, shows him regard, but so does half the world give respect to such terrifying regimes, as North Korea, Cuba, Russia, China who have enslaved neighbors, like Tibet, for one example, and given the chance, North Korea would do the same to South Korea, as they’ve done to their people, as Russia has done to Georgia. And respect has been given to several African countries, and its leaders who have butchered thousands of their own people, so yes, they have given him respect, but no more than, and no longer than, their hope maintains in getting something for nothing, they want that prize from the Crackerjack Box. I hope our president counts the cost, everything cost something, and all the goodwill he is giving away is nice, but nice is like saying sorry, after some tragedy, and sorry doesn’t pay the bills, nor does nice, but it can’t hurt, as long as they can see the big bat behind him. Meaning, like China and Russia, they talk softly and carry a big bat, they just hide it. Obama is a new fish in an old sea, which makes him mysterious to the onlookers. He’s not a bully yet; not like China or Russia or North Korea. And anything mysterious, that has a golden throne, is going to be examined closely. As soon as any country in the world, or kingdom in the sea, senses a violation of their goals their values, their hopes, he’ll be condemned as a fake, a wolf in sheep’s clothing, an imposter. It is easy in this new global world to go from a shinny flower to a weed, faster than it took to become the flower. Obama has not yet felt the force of the wind; he is still on a high, from winning an obvious win. We need friends, but we don’t need scavengers.
