"Inside the Bunker"

Soon we will be observing the anniversary of the invasion of Normandy, D-Day, the beginning of the end for Hitler’s Third Reich.

 

On June 6, 1944, elements of the United States, Great Britain, France and other allies landed on the beach in Operation Overlord, and they began the march toward Berlin. In less than one year, Adolph Hitler would be dead and the war in Europe would be ended. In the end, old men and children became the last measure of defense for the “Master Race”; the magic that Adolph Hitler once held over Germany collapsed in rubble and death.

Hitler’s rise to power seemed indomitable and nation after nation fell to his military might. Every time the dictator achieved victory, his arrogance and swollen ego grew even larger; he felt that he could do anything and nothing was beyond his grasp. He opened up a second front against Russia, and he believed he would easily defeat the Russian troops, as he considered them an inferior race.

Although his generals knew the war was all but lost after D-Day, they continued to follow his orders without question; those who did question him were quickly replaced with men of lessor capabilities but more fervent in their support for Hitler’s “genius”.

In the end, Hitler sat in his bunker moving from explosive rants to great depression, giving command to generals to move non-existent troops and barking about disloyalty among his military commanders. Everything around Hitler was falling apart and he could do nothing to stop his crumbling dream. All his charisma was gone, and all that was left was his lonely arrogance and self- pity. 

Over the course of the last few weeks we have seen our President, Barack Hussein Obama, thrust into a series of political scandals. His Attorney General, Eric Holder, seems to be at the epicenter of quite a bit of these controversies; his ethics are most certainly in question. The Internal Revenue Service seems to have been targeting conservative groups and businesses for “special scrutiny”, while leftist groups went merrily on with barely a look. American news agencies have been secretly investigated with questionable probable cause and oddly, Mr. Obama seemed to be unaware of any of these things. The liberal New York Times was even under the gun for saying things that seemed critical of the Obama Administration. Benghazi isn’t going away, even though former Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton has said “What difference does it make how it started!”

Several different groups are calling for an impeachment investigation over the ever growing quagmire surrounding Mr. Obama, and his staff members. Eric Holder is very close to being held in a contempt situation, as he gave spurious testimony to a Congressional Committee.

It appears that Mr. Obama has too many “fronts” to defend and his options are growing fewer as each day goes by. There is evidence suggesting that the IRS scandal reaches into high level Washington offices, perhaps even into the White House itself.

Mr. Obama still maintains a “happy face” throughout all of this adversity, but I wonder if he secretly would like to have an underground bunker to hide in, away from those who have found out that his charisma may be fading. I wonder if he will soon be issuing orders to “troops who don’t exist” and screaming about disloyal supporters. It may get lonely in that bunker, Mr. President!!
