Think of "A Christmas Carol", the novella by English author Charles Dickens which was first released in 1843.
Now Imagine Barack Obama as the sour and stingy Ebenezer Scrooge, and his ideological, ethical, and emotional transformation after the supernatural visitations of Jacob Marley and the "Ghosts of Christmases Past, Present, and Yet to Come".
What if Obama had a similar dream, where he transforms himself from a Progressive left-wing radical into a conservative iconic hero like Ronald Reagan.
Obama wakes up one morning, without any consultations with his staff (not even a private mention to his own wife) and calls an emergency White House press conference with all the major networks, including Fox News.
He somberly approaches the presidential podium and begins to speak (without a tele-prompter).
"Ladies and gentleman, members of the press, my wife, and my fellow Americans. I've called this press conference to inform you that I have had a drastic change of heart concerning my administrative policies. But first, I want to apologize for my first 14 months in office - it's been a miserable failure. But starting this moment, there really is going to be 'change you can believe in'."
"First and foremost, I'd like to announce that by the end of today, I will expect the resignations of my Chief-of-staff and most of my top aides, whose names I will give to you at the end of my pronouncement."
"Ahhh...that would be a 'YES' Helen."
"Also, effectively immediately, I am totally withdrawing all my ambitions with regards to the present healthcare bill, the cap-and trade bill, and all my other proposed reforms - and to start over again - from scratch - with the Republican's support."
"But jobs and the economy will be the first thing on my agenda from this point forward. If the Democrats try to bypass me, I will use my veto powers."
"Let me also say, that starting today, I renounce all my past Progressive convictions, and I will move solidly to the middle as a genuine bi-partisan President."
"And no more Andy Stern or SEIU! No more Bill Ayers or SDS! No more back-room deals and Socialist programs! No more child indoctrination! No more insane government spending, waste, fraud, and abuse! And most of all, NO MORE LIES!"
(Applause...)
"And in closing, let me address my detractors at Fox News. Mister Glenn Beck...Mister Sean Hannity...I've finally seen the light. We've already wasted a lot of time guys, so now let's come together and get to work."
And then, remembering his own grave in his dream from the night before...
"...because I've changed my ways in hopes of changing these shadows of what might have been."
Obama went on to win a second election, then retired to pursue his true passion...writing. He wrote his memoirs, then proceeded to write 7 bestselling novels. The last one was titled "Proud to be an American".
Shorty before he died at the age of 89, the mega-super carrier, the U.S.S. Obama, was christened.
Barack Obama really did make for a glorious history.
25 years later President Barack Obama was recognized as one of the most aspiring Presidents in U.S. history, and he eventually replaced Reagon (which was previously Grant) on the $50 dollar bill.
And then I woke up, and I realized that in my dream, Obama never had this dream. There never was any "change", and Obama was still the same.
And America was still in a slide towards obsoletion.
