The candidacy of Barack Obama has inspired a lot of alarmist fiction about what he will purportedly do as president. Newsmax’s Lowell Ponte joins the crowd with a Nov. 14 column:
Looking back from 2016 on eight strange years of President Barack Obama’s administration, we see that it has been nothing like what idealists believed they were electing in 2008.
[…]
The Obama years will be remembered in the Ministry of Truth’s official history as the era of 1,000 czars, the elitist commissars he gave the power to rule by fiat in every sector of America’s government, economy, and society.Thus it has been these past eight years for President Obama’s bailout czar and urban planning czar, his education czar and Latin America czar, his cybersecurity czar and Internet czar, his Afghan-Iraq war czar and income redistribution czar, the voter list czar and radio-Internet fairness czar, and many hundreds more.
And through their partisan power, Barack Obama became America’s permanent caesar.
Ponte has long been peddling false claims about Obama and other Democrats, so it’s no surprise to see him make the tiny jump to fiction actually presented as such.
