Is the Presidency a tool of the powers to be to pacify and control the masses?

The Obama phenomenon is a hoax carefully crafted by the captains of the New World Order. He is being pushed as savior in an attempt to con the American people into accepting global slavery.

We have reached a critical juncture in the New World Order's plans. It's not about Left or Right: it's about a One World Government. The international banks plan to loot the people of the United States and turn them into slaves on a Global Plantation.

They are continuing the process of transforming America into something that resembles Nazi Germany, with forced National Service, domestic civilian spies, warrant-less wiretaps, the destruction of the Second Amendment, FE MA camps and Martial Law.

- Obama's handlers are openly announcing the creation of a new Bank of the World that will dominate every nation on earth through carbon taxes and military force.

- International bankers purposefully engineered the worldwide financial meltdown to bankrupt the nations of the planet and bring in World Government.

- They plans to loot the middle class, destroy pensions and federalize the states so that the population is completely dependent on the Central Government.

- The Elite are using Obama to pacify the public so they can usher in the North American Union by stealth, launch a new Cold War and continue the occupation of Iraq and Afghanistan.So elite, this seems to be the answer to all the unanswered questions about this administration, like why are we still in these wars, why are the same people that got us in this mess still in power, why don't we prosecute bank for money laundering when they are considered as people now. Hmmmm!! "We better wake up people and stop fighting each other and find out who the real enemy is!"Is the Presidency a tool of the powers to be to pacify and control the masses?
OK, fair enough. Redefined question deserves restated answer.

"As designed, no the presidency is not a tool to pacify the masses. ('pacify the masses' is a very late concept, by the way, which was not in place when the Constitution was written.)" (my original statement, which still holds.)



As for whether the Presidency is now a tool for the "powers that be" to pacify and control the masses, the question still lacks some required information:

Who do you consider, for the purposes of this question, to qualify as the "powers that be"? (I ask because the question can be cast as being against the current administration, or against both reigning parties and the two party system in general, or as a wide-base cry of despair, each of which deserve a different answer!)



The answer is still "no", though, and here is why:



a) Certainly, the current administration and the Democrat party of the last few decades have demonstrated that they believe that the Presidency is an ultra-powerful tool which they need to control. The verbiage from both the Kerry and Obama

campaigns, with phrases like "We must get Bush out of the White House at all costs" supports this. However, it is also obvious that any feelings they had that owning the presidency gave them the ability to pacify or control the masses is invalid: rarely in my lifetime (over half a century) have the American People been less pacified and less under control. The President's flagging poll numbers (even with the typically uneven polling techniques employed) indicate that the People disapprove of the actions, intentions and approach of the President, and the next election is very likely to show that, rather than being pacified and controlled, the People are going to change the shape of the Legislature in order to disable the President, just as, not surprisingly, they did to the last couple of Presidents.



2) Certainly the Legislature do not, as a whole, believe that the President is all-powerful, or even capable of controlling and pacifying them. The fact that many of the Democrat Party ideological agenda items which the President pushed and the Houses of Congress enacted have been claimed by the President to be quite different from what he wanted, and others just aren't going to be addressed, despite that his party holds both the House and the Senate (especially now that the Jr. Senator from Mass has proven that he's not really a centrist, let alone conservative.)



However, the question is not without merit: The presidency is clearly one of the tools that idologists want to control and which they use to forward their agenda. Is the purpose of this, even in the current administration, to pacify? I think not. To Control? Certainly there are more possibilities here, since few will deny that a government which pays citizens (welfare, government-controlled healthcare, massive bailouts) can lay claim to extraordinary authority over those citizens (hence, the salary cap on CEOs of companies which accepted bail-out money, etc.)



Most of your points differ not-at-all from Clinton's handlers, by the way, the exception being that it is more obvious now what the effects are of cheap loans for people who still can't afford them and a stock market that depends on the financial security of the banks. Since Clinton was only able to do a little damage, and controlled the People not-at-all, I think it is still true that, for pacifying and controlling the People, the presidency is a pretty useless tool. That kind of effect is coming from the culture of liberalism, fostered in Public Schools and driven by 'intellectually-informed legislation, and bolstered by a media with an undeniable political bias to the left.Is the Presidency a tool of the powers to be to pacify and control the masses?
personally I feel like the president has forgotten who he works for. I think he is trying to create one world government that will be like Europe is with socialism and a EU type economy. But he is not trying to make us into one nation, he just wants us to be economically dependent socialists with him as dictator for life.
