Initiative and Efficiency are Unforgivable Traits to Obama and Clinton

“It certainly takes more than trying to make up for a year of insults and insinuations by dropping in on our neighbors for a few hours and then flying home again. That is not how it works,” – Hillary Clinton on Trump’s enormously successful whirlwind Mexico coup.

Well, umm…no Hillary…it kind of is how it works. And I don’t know that career politicians are the best authorities on how anything in the real world actually works. When big business has a problem or needs something done, it is to be dealt with swiftly and with innovation.

When a problem occurs in the private sector, does the company involved navel gaze in a diplomatic love-in ostensibly doing absolutely nothing tangible for 18 months while knowing full well that the said problem is only escalating?

Of course they don’t. Unless the board of directors are completely and utterly inept, they quickly make decisions, quickly jump on planes, think outside the box, and quickly begin dialogue with those that can help the situation, be it friends or even competition. That’s business, which for all intents and purposes any country in surplus should be running as.

America is $19.3 trillion dollars in debt. Democrats aren’t running it as a business. If it were a business, shareholders would be calling for scalps. They are running it as a charity, and don’t see anything wrong with that, or with the way that their bureaucracy is running the show without regard for the consequences of spending like drunken sailors or regard for the bottom line, is a ‘Yuge!’ part of the problem.

Establishment politician Hillary Clinton is outraged and bewildered at Donald Trump’s private-sector-inspired practices of initiative and efficiency in times of crisis. Both are new and alien concepts to the public sector, and they are still trying to process exactly what he is doing, and the ramifications for big government and their entrenched processes of ineffectuality, wastefulness of time and resources, and complete lack of initiative.

Dealing with major problems may seem daunting when they are addressed by self-defeatist bloated government bureaucracy, but these issues are actually quite prone to resolution when taken from the hive on Capitol Hill, and addressed by a brash entrepreneurial candidate unshackled by political apathy or a detachment from the way things need to run to remain viable.

It began with the flooding in Louisiana. The Obama administration left the state high and not so dry on the back-burner, while he played golf. Think about that for a minute. When your work phone o2294187604_83d301dac2_obama-and-clintonr mine rings on our days off, we are obliged to answer it and resolve the problem. Even if we are playing 18 holes. I’m sure many of you are in the same boat. Work-related phone calls are frustrating, but a necessary evil. How is it even possible that the leader of the free world, whose day-to-day issues are astronomically more important than the comparatively minute fires we have to put out when the phone rings in our own time is able to so easily shirk these responsibilities? The answer is easy. An entrenched public sector sense of entitlement that extends right to the Oval Office.

This is where the genetics of Trump differ to the genetics of an Obama, Clinton, or a Bush for that matter. The Louisiana floods were a matter of national emergency. Swift action was needed, along with a Presidential presence if only to help restore morale. Obama was busy golfing at Martha’s Vineyard with Seinfeld creator Larry David in what could easily become the template for a future episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm. Hillary was also vacationing there (though both were allegedly ‘working’, no doubt being above taking vacation time on their own time), the most bloodthirsty pair of Apex predators to visit Martha’s Vineyard since Spielberg shot Jaws there in 1975.

When informed of the situation, their outrageous sense of public service self-entitlement kicked in. Why should they deal with flooding in Louisiana when it was nice out where they were? Larry had just shared an amusing anecdote about Ted Danson with Barry Obama, and Hillary had just spotted a waitress who was kinda cute. Why ruin it? Meanwhile, Donald J. Trump, a man who works so much he rarely sleeps (Huffington Post inexplicably reported this as a bad Presidential quality for some reason) dropped everything, filled an 18-wheeler with much-needed supplies, and visited the disaster area.

Was it politicised? Of course there was that element. But Trump showed leadership and initiative at a time when such things are sorely lacking. He raised hopes in Louisiana. Raised awareness of their plight while all that apologists in the left media had to offer was propaganda about how wise it was that the President, and potentially the next Democrat President were talking their sweet time getting there.

The same media that gave us apocalyptic coverage when a Blue State was flooded under a Red Republican President were conspicuously silent as a Red State was flooded under a Blue Democrat President.

Trump’s drive, initiative, and Presidential manner (he had been criticised for having none up until that point) were demonised. Apparently the correct course of action should have been contemplating the situation for a few months as people suffered, then visiting for a press junket just before the election when power has been restored to the best restaurants in town. Barry and Hillary don’t want to be wasting their time visiting a dump. Priorities, people!

Then came Mexico a few days ago. A huge meeting with Enrique. Not Enrique Iglesias, but the Mexican President. Again, critics of Trump’s alleged ‘lack of diplomacy’ were outraged by his example of diplomacy. There’s no pleasing these people. Despite Hillary’s attempt to frame it as an embarrassment, it showed that Trump knows how to get things done, and impressed millions of undecided U.S. voters as it lifted the veil of propaganda momentarily, and had them asking again why nominee Hillary Clinton hadn’t thought to reach out to Mexicans further than the guy who cleans her pool.

This is why the Clinton campaign and before them the other Republican nominees fail to realise how laughable their bugbears about the entrepreneur turned Presidential front runner are. Every time Little Marco Rubio whined to us that Trump “isn’t Presidential!”, voters replied “and your point is?!?!?”. Every time Hillary nudges us and guffaws because Trump didn’t bind up an action or gesture in seven years worth of red tape and bureaucracy, she fails to comprehend that this is a good thing. Most of his alleged gaffes are seen through a different lens by those who are far from Capitol Hill. Many of these couldn’t be further from gaffes, and at most are minor missteps as a result of his initiative and entrepreneurial flair that pays off for him most of the time, and occasionally doesn’t (and that’s ok).

Career politicians call him a loose cannon, and so do their lackeys in the mainstream media. But those of us who haven’t been drinking the Kool Aid realise that in this case, ‘loose cannon’ basically translates into innovation, political reform, and getting rid of a lot of dead wood. The private sector does most things better than big government, and the way things are looking with Trump, a President from the private sector might be just what the doctor ordered.

Eh?nonymous was a thoroughly repellent unemployed social justice warrior until a one in a million glitch in his Facebook account affected the algorithms in his news feed, omitting posts from his much loved left leaning Huffington Post and I F---ing Love Science, and inexplicably replacing them with centrist and conservative newsfeed items that slowly dragged him kicking and screaming into the light beyond the safe space that Mr. Zuckerberg had so carefully constructed for him. It’s a long road to recovery, but every Mark Steyn share he sees in his newsfeed is like another day clean from social justice addiction.
