HE WAS SO CLOSE: We Were “Obamerica”…We Were More Tolerant…More Guilty… (abbreviated)
100percentfedup.com ^ | Daniel Greenfield

The Obama Era is Over

Obama and his supporters loved talking about history. His victory was historic. They were on the right side of history. History was an inevitable arc that bent their way.

The tidal force of demographics had made the old America irrelevant. Any progressive policy agenda was now possible because we were no longer America. We Were Obamerica. A hip, happening place full of smiling gay couples, Muslim women in hijab and transgender actors. We were all going to live in a New York City coffee house, work at Green Jobs and live in the post-national future.

(snip)

And that is in its own way far more brutal and wounding. They didn’t just destroy the Obama era. Instead they dismissed it as if it never existed.

Obama didn’t make history after all. He wasn’t a teleprompter demi-god standing athwart of history. He was Carter and Ford. He was there to be forgotten. He didn’t change the world. He wasn’t the messiah. He was merely a mortal. Just another politician who will sag and age. Who will, in the end, be photographed like Bill Clinton, lonely and lost in a world that has passed him by.

0bamaprompter mattered less while he was president
than Carter has since he was a president.

Not everyone can do the limbo under a bar that low.

If that wasnt enough, Boobamba says he and the missus intend to stay active....to take years and years to transform America even more.

No backup besides another tired shake-down scam.

Meanwhile, Detroit is excited that their failed enclave may be revitalized.

Trump is a BOSS. zer0 is a total loss.

Mickey 0? I predict the coming years will not be kind, despite the massive amounts of cosmetic *work* sure to be employed.

“The end of men was here. The end of the dead white men of the literary canon. The end of white people. The end of binary gender and marriage. The end of reason. The end of art. The end of 2 + 2 equaling 4. This was Common Core time.
It was time to pardon an endless line of drug dealers. To kill cops and praise criminals. To be forced to buy worthless health insurance for wealth redistribution to those who voted their way to wealth.”

One of the best by the Sultan.

The Sunday Standard article proves Obama was promoting himself as being born in Kenya. He has an American accent, what would ever make the Standard think he was born in Kenya? Because HE told them so! The buzz is Obama used his Kenyan birthplace on college apps b/c schools reserve seats and scholarships for foreign students.

Hillary knew a long time ago.....she and Bill had pics of Obama in Muslim
dress as far back as the 2007 primary. Uncle Teddy went balistic, warned the
Clintons not to use them.

Teddy Caroline and Patrick later endorsed the befuddled Obama.

Boobamba left Americans a divided nation, trillions in debt, and a cartload of parasitic freeloaders sucking up our tax dollars, many of whom plan to kill us.

The public will NEVER forget that sharp, good looking crease in his trousers. Truth be known - that was the only “sharp” description they could use in their favor.

Nice observation, AlanGreenSpam.

The word "guilty" is the operative word for Obama and his minions. And the leftists use political correctness -- defined by what the new culture majority (Hollywood, Democrats, and Big Media) -- to dictate to us what is a sin and what is not.

Isn't ironic that the leftists trash the Church and religion -- the traditional arbiters of guilt -- but create their own guilt for living in a prosperous country or taking reasonable measures to protect citizens from Islamic terror?

Maybe the attraction of Pope Frankie is that he spends more time talking about the fake guilt of global warming, than the real sins his Church has fought for centuries against.

And let me add to your list another couple examples:

On the bright side, he has utterly destroyed his democrat party. All that is left is 70 and 80 year olds. There is very little "bench" left in the states to put up a viable candidate, the old dems and Obama made sure of that.

Something that occurred to me recently watching the violence on the streets and violence to police, whites and the handicapped, in all the Marxist and socialist states, they get real harsh in the end to convert totally to ownership of all means of production. Notice the only way to implement their fav form of government is get violent and force it.

The D party should now be labeled from now on, "The Control Freak Party".
