"The Humanist"
President Obama must always claim to be a God fearing Christian - that's a prerequisite in American politics that cannot be altered, and he no doubt is a Sunday secularist to boot. From such trade-offs come the public figures of our day.
The young President nonetheless has a huge following who expect more from him.
Will he make a deal to share power with the Taliban in Afghanistan at the last moment, like a good poker player who draws you out? Will he talk to Israel about their nukes, Iran and the Palestinians?
And what would happen if he went beyond all this, grabbed the bear by the horns - and confronted the root of America's malaise - the Pentagon?
As unemployment rises, passing the descending US dollar, the country must at some point do the unthinkable and discuss cutting military spending - by some estimates fully 54% of the federal budget when war deficits are included. http://www.warresisters.org/
Obama could make the point that an invasion of the US does not seem imminent.
That since 2001 there have been no terrorist attacks on US soil.
That being on a war footing with no credible enemies is somewhat expensive, and in truth is asinine and near-criminal.
In his new book "The Humanist" philosopher Dwight Gilbert Jones sees Obama allowing the United Nations to assume responsibility for global security, which in turn lets him invoice the UN for lots of blue berets and a whole bunch of navy bases.
This rescues the US currency and economy to the point that factories return to America, and after completing two terms as President, Obama goes on to become Secretary-General of the UN.
A conspiracy to impose a New World Order on us all? You bet.
We're counting on you, Obie, to win the big one.
Humanist of the Year.
