I Think Obama Has a Serious Character Flaw That Has Not Been Discussed

I think a significant problem that Obama has, which will come to light, is a personal characteristic of his seeking to to avoid difficult choices and take an EASIER way out of a situation.

Here are just five examples.

(1). As a child and young man, he was called Barry, not Barack. That was EASIER for him and for the people who knew him.

(2). In 1988, at the age of 27, he became a Christian to enable a career in politics and to enable a relationship with Michelle Robinson, who later became his wife and the mother of his children. It would be a lot EASIER to be Christian for politics and for dating. To read a fact-based, fictional satire called "When Barack and Michelle First Met", go to this link: When Barack and Michelle First Met

(3). At the Harvard Law School, from 1988-1991, he was known as a facilitator of compromise between opposing advocates. He promoted his personal attitude of taking an EASIER way out. In my view, it may be hard to compromise sometimes, but it is a lot EASIER to have opponents compromise than to have one side successfully advocate and win the opposition over to its side. A related article, "BARACK OBAMA: A MEDIATOR OR A LEADER?" can be read at: BARACK OBAMA: A MEDIATOR OR A LEADER?

(4). In the often-mentioned October 2, 2002 speech in which Obama spoke out against the U. S. going to war in Iraq, Obama, an Illinois state senator, stated, "What's tempting is to take the path of least resistance and keep quiet on the issue, knowing that maybe in two or three or six months, at least the fighting will be over and you can see how it plays itself out." Here is a link to this speech: Obama's Iraq War Speech In my opinion, the temptation to "take the path of least resistance" is a temptation to take an EASIER way out, which apparently he had yielded to before the speech and after the speech.

(5). In 2003, rather than Obama making a difficult choice among (a) confronting and challenging Rev. Wright about his hate America rhetoric or (b) leaving Rev. Wright's church, Obama took an EASIER way -- doing nothing.

Finally, in my opinion, Obama's personal characteristic of seeking to take an EASIER way out of making difficult choices will be a big negative with respect to his electability. To me, this is not a characteristic of a good leader.

Remember he won the nomination by knocking off his other contenders one by one finding signiture errors ect...tiny but effective moves without competition.

Hillary is not going to lay down and hand it to him.

I also noticed she looked ahead when over a month ago gave positive answers to abortion/pro life questions.

Played right into her voting base of Dem Catholics in PA...just my observations.

I think she is going to continue to go for the Dem Catholic vote and older folks.

Then there is those flipping over to the D ticket for the primary so they can vote for her as the lesser of the two evils.

Uh hum I know a few who are doing just that to get rid of Obama...and no Rush L had nothing to do with it.

Obama has mature folks concerned and leary.

[Global2010]

He is chasing after young adults.

Barely off their skateboards and have grown up in Go Green Save the Earth public school zero tolerance crap.

He is like the pied Piper to the kids still wiping snot off with the back of there sleeves.

The Obama File

Barack Hussein Obama

A privileged African-American, who has not shared the black American experience
By birth, blood and training, a Muslim, who has been a member of a Black-African church for 20 years
A socialist, whose politics are rooted in Marx and whose tactics are rooted in the Alinsky Method
A master at shaping his own mythology and completely unqualified to be Commander in Chief

Essentially, Obama has no core beliefs.

Says who? < /sarc>

What I want to know is how he can claim he has experience. What - two years in the US Senate is experience?

Yet, he claims he has no recollection of what the rev [?] wrong said in the 20 years he went to his church? He ain't even a good Bull s****er. Just a liar in my books.

Sitting in a church pew for 20 years and claims that is not a belief, yet his two years sitting in the US Senate is more than enough for him to expect everyone to support him - how stupid!

I agree that Obama is unqualified & shifty but I don’t think it matters that his background isn’t that of a “typical” black.
