Rising Star: The Making Of Barack Obama
Youtube ^ | 2/4/19 | Gerard Perry

I review a startlingly non-hagiographic biography of the 44th President, and examine why so few in public life have been willing to scrutinize the hypocrisies of Barack Obama.

The making of Obama made a permanent and destructive mark on the psyche of this nation. He was truly a curse.

A REAL SCAMELOT. Both he & his handsome wife MS.WHALE are things of storybooks.
From “Once upon a crime” to “and they shilled always feigning laughter.”

The End

Garrow actually goes into his his malleable position on gay marriage quite a bit, including his mendacious attack on political opponents in Illinois who pointed out his opportunism.

Something that's been consistent throughout his career has been his support for illegal immigrants over Americans. There's even a passage where he implies that we couldn't function as a country without foreign labor.

I totally disagree that blacks of today do not hold Obama in high regard. As someone who has worked with many blues collar blacks and shared social as well as work related events, I have yet to hear a single criticism off the great Obama. When confronted with questions of his accomplishments, they refused any dialogue even when confronted with his policies they privately with which vehemently disagree.

I work in similar circumstances, and there is an unspoken rule that they can’t publicly denounce him. They were so excited when he was elected, but as it became clear he wasn’t going to pay them any more mind than basic lip service, their enthusiasm cooled. Within a year of his election, every picture they’d hung up had come down, and they simply stopped talking about him. In my area in particular, foreigners were replacing blacks in the workplace rapidly; a blind person could see it, and so did the blacks.

Today you’d never know from observing them that Obama had ever existed. His last-minute appeals to support Hillary in PA went unheeded, and she lost states where black voters could have put her over the top (and therefore the election).

Early on, barqy made the statement that he was just the figurehead and that the real ideas came from his “focus groups”.

I guess that is a euphemism for the handlers behind the teleprompter: “Focus groups”

The real ideas came from the people who funded him; that is why Trump was elected after eight years of Obama. He did nothing for the majority of his supporters, and after years of BS press running interference for him, they knew it.
