Earlier today Forbes posted an excerpt from the book Hope Is Not a Strategy by John Mariotti and D. M. Lukas. The author provided an excerpt from the book for the article where he describes Barack Obama as a “manufactured candidate” whose history remains sealed. Mariotti then calls Obama the “Manchurian candidate.”
But, after the article was posted for a few hours it suddenly disappeared down the memory hole.
Here is the article which was posted at Courage in America blog before it disappeared.
“There is something very wrong when the sitting president refuses to divulge huge pieces of information about his background. What is he hiding? Maybe the “birthers” were a little extreme, but is there something wrong with this “manufactured candidate,” whose history remains sealed from public view? What is he hiding?
Could the “Hawaii birth certificate” be a forgery? Is there something much worse—like “sponsorship” by an unnamed special interest? I don’t know. I do know that the man in the White House now is an imposter. The only question is which kind of an imposter: an incompetent “pretender” or a genuine phony, a “Manchurian candidate,” who is a liberal, ½ black and ½ white, and an obvious Muslim sympathizer.
Will this campaign expose him as the imposter, and the pretender his behavior has revealed? Will it expose his hidden history and murky background. We know about his failures and mistakes.
For those who don’t, here is another in this series of revealing excerpts from Hope Is Not A Strategy: Leadership Lessons from the Obama Presidency.
Excerpt from the chapter: Beware the Pretender:
…”No matter how many times President Obama refers to the “problems he inherited,” he has now been in office three years. Certainly many of the current problems can be traced back to events that happened during the eight years that Bush held the top office, and some can be traced back to even earlier presidencies — but far from all of them.
Many of the problems are newly created (or made worse), and Barack Obama owns them. Candidate Obama stepped up and essentially said, “I want the job, and everything that comes with it” by running for president. After three years in office, the problems now belong to him and his presidency. He caused them, made them worse, or didn’t solve them. Either way, they are his now.
…In leadership, you cannot “pretend” to be a leader. You either are — or you aren’t — a leader. One or the other will become apparent very quickly.
If you want the leadership job, you must step up and take full ownership of it. A “pretender” or “poser” is like an actor who has learned all the right lines, but has no idea what they mean. Once the script has been followed (or deviated from), the actor is clueless about what to do next. This is the job of the leader.
Unfortunately, in this government, the “directors” often seem clueless, having learned in academia where results and wins/losses are theoretical, or in politics where success (at getting elected) is more a matter of rhetoric than results.
If you are not ready for a position, or do not believe that you have what it takes to rise to the challenge (or clean up the mess even if you believe it is not your mess), then do not take the job. This was Barack Obama’s fundamental mistake. He grossly underestimated the difficulty of the position he was running for, and overestimated his preparedness to actually do the job. Just because he could “talk a good game” (thanks to a phalanx of speech writers and the omnipresent teleprompters) does not mean he actually knew what to do or how to do it. The presidency of the United States of America is not a place for heavy OJT (On-the Job-Training)….”
After the first three plus years of the presidency, it is painfully clear that Barack Obama was a “pretty face,” and “glib speaker” and a lightweight liberal politician with a community organizer/radical background. The American people should be outraged at this man’s behavior and even his candidacy. Why are they not? Because of the misinformation delivered by sympathetic liberal/mainstream media who loves his nonsensical form of governing.
…”Obama’s perceived preparedness for the presidency is a terrible delusion, from which it is difficult to escape. Mistakes build upon each other and result in even more complex problems. Difficult problems that are mishandled become even more difficult to fix. When you have too little experience, lack substance (other than the words of your latest speech), then leading, managing and problem solving simply don’t happen. And that is what has occurred. When you compound the problem by surrounding your self with like-minded theorists, lacking in real-world experience, things become worse yet. The theoretical solutions to problems often don’t work due to the messiness of the real world — and the reasons are almost unfathomable to these rookie executive/politicians. …”
What should Americans think about this “imposter?” Will he divulge his true background so we can all see who he is and where he came from — really? If not, is this just a man who should never have been sworn into the office of President in the first place, and who has crippled Americans miserably during his term?
Will we continue to believe his misstatements (the politically correct term for lies)? Can he simply use the media to “erase and forget the past three years of misery and missteps?” Or will we learn from his imperialistic behavior and terrible results and throw him out in November?
I screen captured that article is anyone wants it.
If this guy gets a 2nd term, with no fear of another election, all bets are off. Stock up plenty of ammo & food supplies to defend yourself. Occupy your house could be the next project.
If Obama wins there will be marxism and the end of the constitution. If Obama loses there will be race war and class war and blood in the streets, house to house wealth redistribution. Farakhan and NBP are already calling for it.

IMHO, we won't even get to November before chaos gets to something analogous to DefCon 5.
The tipping point will be when the black panthers, inspired by dear leader, kill Zimmerman.
It might not be such a mystery Bill O’really gets outraged by the most minor of things Obama does..
AND
almost totally ignores Obamas most heinous and outrageous acts..
Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping!
To get onto The Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping List you need only threaten to report me to the Admin if I don’t add you to the list...
(This thread is not a duplicate)
“Hope is not a Strategy” is a great slogan against the Obama admin.
“I hope that I win the lottery to pay my bills”, it not a good idea. Electing a President with the same philosophy is not a good idea either.
[ Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping! ]
Damn thats a hard job.. there are so many bonifide conspiracy’s in this administration..
Its hard to keep up.. its not whether there are some conspiracy’s its keeping track of all of them..
Some are stand alone and some are related and there are probably some conspiracy’s “we” don’t even know of ...
Maybe the American People are fully generally as corrupt as the federal givernment is..
Occam’s Law demands this to be so..
No doubt America is indeed the New Sodom.. can salt be far behind?..
I'm outraged, as are millions of other Americans. We're Mad as Hell and want the Manchurian Candidate voted out on November 6th.
And yes, it's a disgrace we sitll don't know:

The voting public deserves to know these answers. We have many more questions, but please answer these first to show your transparency and good faith. We'll keep passing this list on until we get some answers.
What else is he hiding and Why?
Isn’t it peculiar that not one of these 25 items has ever been mentioned by a GOP congresscritter?
Whose side are they on?
The list, Ping
Let me know if you would like to be on or off the ping list
Maybe I'm weird because I ONLY thought (and continue to think) of him as a commie, community organizer.
Yes, especially the Freshman Tea Party congressman, now sophomores. They must get a big dose of, "Well son, let me show you how things are done here." . . plus they learn to "play ball" to get appointments, pork, etc - all corrupt. Fire em' all in November!
Excellent work LucyT. Put it up on Twitter, and my website.
The answer to the question you raise is simple. The congress and president are really a club, a fraternity, a clan, almost a gang. Once you become a member, they all protect you. Have you noticed how seldom any active member gets censured and kicked out?
Look at B.J. Clinton’s case. He committed perjury in a court of law, yet the senate refused to throw him out. If you or I committed perjury, our azz would be in prison.
the birth certificate is a red herring. ALL it proves is where, kinda, the person is born... and when
which solves 2 of the three requirements to being 35 and a natural born citzen.
the one part NO ONE has addressed is...
EXACTLY HOW can someone be a natural born citizen... without BOTH parents being citizens of the country??
if that is not a requirement... then any anchor baby with 2 mexican parents can become president
