(Melchizedek Communique, MC110709) President Barack Obama has thrown a fit at a White House meeting, according to the Globe, a weekly tabloid newspaper.

In its latest November 9, 2009 issue, Globe also notices that Obama is losing weight fast and, allegedly, smoking cigarettes like a chimney.

First Lady Michelle Obama, in attendance at an inner-circle oval office confab, reportedly burst into tears when the normally friendly Obama snarled, "What the hell is going on? Why do people hate me?"

In truth, there is not hatred but rather increasing distrust. A little over a year ago, Barack Obama entered into an oral contract with the American people: In return for votes, he would deliver "shovel ready jobs."

But then, on the very day those votes were delivered, "the candidate who campaigned on what he called the 'fierce urgency of now' became the president-elect who needed time." [1] The promised jobs would take time -- years -- maybe never, was the new deal. Hence, Obama has violated contract law and might be subject to lawsuit.

Meanwhile, like a shark circling about, Jeb Bush, carrying the blood of Franklin Pierce in his veins, is filing his teeth. And foreign-born Arnold Schwarzenegger is thinking, "If Obama can be President, then why not me?"

Early in the Obama presidency, after the oral contract had been callously broken, talk was heard about "shared sacrifice." Then, on March 23, 2009, Melchizedek Communique suggested, "Why not a 10 percent pay cut across-the-board for all government employees?" Then they too could "share the sacrifice." And vroom! Faster than an oral contract can be broken, no more talk was heard about the "shared sacrifice."

In the times of Millard Fillmore, he also introduced the idea of "shared sacrifice." Congressman Fillmore, in reaction to a depressed state of business throughout the U.S. in 1834, urged it "was only right that the legislators themselves, and all public officers from the president down, should... be put upon an equality with the rest of the nation. He was willing to suffer a reduction of his compensation, the same ratio that he asked the other officers of the government to reduce theirs." [2]
