Obama's Image: What a Difference a Year Makes
The American Thinker ^ | December 28, 2009 | Ed Lasky

Posted on 12/28/2009 3:54:02 AM PST by Scanian

Almost a year has passed since January 20, 2009 -- when the waters of the ocean no longer rose and America began to heal from the depredations of Republicans. Barack Obama has been our president for that long, and the people have started to wise up.

The light that shines on Barack Obama as president has reflected back an image that bears very little similarity to the iconic visage that floated above us all in 2008. Why has Barack Obama betrayed so many allies, broken so many promises, thrown so many pledges and people under the bus?

One simple aphorism (paraphrasing Winston Churchill) can explain it all. Barack Obama is no longer a riddle wrapped in a mystery inside an enigma. Much about his past remains murky, but faced with the need to govern, he has given the American people plenty of evidence of his nature...if only they will look.

Obama is a cynic wrapped in a hypocrite inside a bully.

Obama was always a turd dressed with a flowery speech, that was the danger, they didnt question who he was, at least with Hillary, we all knew who she was. Hardly anything was known about him and they lapped it up, the rest of us knew something smelled and smelled bad.

"the people have started to wise up"-- Lets hope the people have started to wise up to themselves for being so stupid as to vote for this guy in the first place. Exactly what did they think they were getting?

Joseph Stalin is Obama’s model — use people to your advantage until they are no longer useful to you (a.k.a. useful idiots).

The “Big Lie” as used in the article is a highly appropriate name for the big Zero. From now on, he’s THE BIG LIE.

It should say:

“A cynic, wrapped in a hypocrit, shrouded in bully.”

I knew it would be bad. I just never knew just how bad it could be. I fear it will get worse. Unfortunately, many do not see until it is too late, so we may possibly have to hit rock bottom before a majority takes action to rectify it. Perhaps in the long run, it could be a good thing as the pendulum ultimately swings integrity back into mass conciousness.
