So, did you know? There he was at the founding of this country, a mere slave that the white guys were treating as what, ¾ of a person? He successfully and repeatedly avoided the Martin Bashir approved treatment (that is, he avoided being "martinbashired") even though he was a community agitator; he simply blamed others and proclaimed he was an innocent bystander.
Fast forward to the Civil Rights era and there he was, sitting right next to Rosa Parks and yet history has not been kind in remembering this notable fact. Also, he was in attendance at the Martin L. King “I have a dream speech” and was almost castrated by Jesse Jackson who was there, minding his own business and laying the ground work for a lifetime of profiteering at the expense of the very people he claims to represent.
He shared a jail cell with Nelson Mandela but unfortunately, like the two thieves crucified with Christ, no one remembers this until now.
At the JFK assassination, some saw him on the grassy knoll and many have speculated about whether or not he had any connections with Oswald.
During a stint in Vietnam, he actually witnessed the torturous incidents John F’n Kerry would later refer to as being, “reminiscent of the manner of Genghis Khan.”
At the Watergate hearings, he testified about how presidents should not lie to the American public, called for complete transparency in government and supported impeachment over a “third-rate burglary” on the grounds that actions in the aftermath were constitutionally improper.
As the Berlin Wall fell, he was actively assisting the communists to reinforce it claiming that the people there deserved to have the government’s “boot at their necks” with the right to take political prisoners and have a secret network to spy on folks.
Apple: Jobs: Wozniak Internet: Al Gore: Obama
He parachuted with Seal Team 6 into Osama bin Laden’s compound on the night he was executed; was angry that he didn’t get the opportunity to read him his rights but later took comfort that he was allowed to say prayers for the departed, at sea.
Now, our hero, is he a simpleton who managed to stumble through the historic records to become president? Or is he an idiot-savant that only the elite DC crowd can understand and follow? People like David Brooks and Piss Matthews; the rest of us will just have to catch up later.
Later, when all our rights are stripped away and the only thing that remains for us to do is community organize against an oppressive government. Since civil disobedience is in vogue at the minute, what with all the adulation Nelson Mandela is receiving; perhaps it is time for us, en masse, to commit to civil disobedience – won’t it be interesting to see how terrific an idea this is to the very people who are right now waxing poetic about this very notion? Let’s see, the IRS, the DOJ, DHS, the ATF, et al will likely be knocking on doors; here, in the United States, we will be called terrorists and our Forrest Gump will bumble his way through history pretending that none of this has anything to do with him; it’s all accidental.
Is this kind of "patriotic dissent" still allowed in this country now that the fascists are in charge?
I always kinda thought that Eric Holder was the Forrest Gump of major American Presidential F-ups and Scandals.
Ruby Ridge, Waco, Elian Gonzales, Fast and Furious...etc.
ObamaCare is like a box of chocolates.
Forrest Gump was a retard with common sense ... Obama falls short on the common sense angle.
Stupid is, as stupid does.
Also, Gump had some endearing qualities. Obummer is a snarky schmuck.
The bizarre part of the story is that WithHolder was appointed to the DC Superior Court by Reagan....
Always thought Obama was more like Chance the Gardener in “Being There”
A good alternate!
