The New Yorker investigates Chicago influences on Obama
American Thinker ^ | July 13, 2008 | Ed Lasky

Posted on 07/13/2008 8:50:38 PM PDT by cdchik123

Ryan Lizza writes a New Yorker article entitled "Making it: How Chicago shaped Obama." If you ask me, Barack Obama does not come off well here. Calculating politicians, ready to find scapegoats and godfather to pull levers for him and shower money unto him. But more importantly, 15 pages later, I find no evidence that Obama accomplished anything other than helping out on Project Vote. My guess is that he allied himself with ACORN on that one, but we don't see any information on that.

Lizza ignores his work on what he calls the two "liberal foundations" -- which is wrong -- especially because the Ayers connection comes up later. I could go on but this is the must read of the week. He is just a Machiavellian politician. And it is nice to know he once subbed for "Israel lobby" critic John Mearsheimer, and that he advised Governor Blagojevitch, who may be indicted over the Rezko affair.

I’d like to see a photo of the New Yorker cover again. It makes me laugh.

You took the words out of my mouth. She looks like a cross between Angela Davis and Patty Hearst.

You know, I’ve gotta believe that the GOP has some seriously, incriminating stuff on B. Hussein and I’d venture to say that from October 1 - November 4 you’re going to see a bloodbath.

I still think something is going to surface from the “Larry Sinclair” thing. I believe they’ve got some very incriminating stuff on the Obamessiah.

Comments anyone?

Forgive my ignorance but, “The New Yorker” is NOT a conservative magazine is it?

I’ve always believed that Obama is an empty suit and that everyone that he has had to say “That’s not the so and so I thought I knew” are the ones really pulling his strings.

I believe there is more out there connecting him to Calypso Louie and Islam, and BLT.

I haven’t read the article, but my first guess would be that it’s a cursory investigation into his political roots. The goal is to publish it in less read periodical so they can later say, “Move on, it’s old news. The press already looked into this. Nothing to see here....”

The only thing that is missing from that great magazine cover is a little "Black Panther" patch on michelle obama's shoulder.

That would have been absolute perfection.

The painting of Mohammed is a little redundant to the obama muslim costume, and would have actually been more appropriate to see a painting of that nasty racist Malcolm X.

You know that the obama people have contemplated putting crap like that in our Federal buildings.

Hahaha!

You are right!

Below you will find my favorite cartoon to post!

I wish I had the intelligence to be a fighter pilot as I would love to have this image painted onto my ordnance!

Such a move would get me into big trouble though! I am not politically correct enough!
