Barack Hussein Obama is the 44th President of the United States because he:
A. Has exhibited overweening ambition since his college years
B. Possesses an impressive intellect
C. Exudes charisma in person and on television
D. Chose Chicago as the place to try out his seemingly delusional career plan
E. Married a remarkable woman who hoped he would not enter electoral politics but supported him anyway
F. Benefitted from a series of circumstances beyond his control, including the demise or retirement of politicians who would have blocked his way to the White House
G. Discovered a path in a racist, xenophobic society to benefit from his bi-racial heritage and his youthful experiences in other societies
H. All of the above
The correct answer is "H," as David Remnick's stupendous biography -- The Bridge: The Life and Rise of Barack Obama -- makes abundantly clear.

The biography, which goes on sale April 6, is so detailed that it could have become boring, an information overload
I know B is highly questionable.
But has he uncovered the birth certificate? Inquiring minds want to know!
This book is a fairy tale, right?
Ping
What Democrat wrote this?
No barf alert?
“Has exhibited overweening ambition since his college years”
Wow...if he was so ambitious, why has he never had a real job working, you know, in the real world?
After reading A thru H, I find no need to read the rest of the review.
C’s not doing much for me either. But, then again I never saw the appeal in Bill Clinton either. He always struck me as a slimy phony who never met a friend he couldn’t use and discard.
There’s lots of evil in fairy tales.
America is racist and xenophobic... but Obama got elected proving America is not racist and xenophobic. Didn’t he? In fact, Obama was never asked basic questions of the typical presidential candidate BECAUSE of his race. He got a free pass.
For example, when was this question asked:
“Senator Obama, you were according to your book mentored and befriended by Marxists and what most would consider social and political radicals according to your autobiography.
At what point did you disavow those Marxist teachings? On what philosophical basis did you do so? Do you repudiate Marxism today
and why?”
i’m not too sure about letter B
We should boycott all of the books about Obama written by the corrupt media. They sold out our entire country!
That is the ONE part that I know is true. Had Jack Ryan (R-IL) not disgraced himself and handed Obama his Senate seat, we would not know we BHO is today. Look it up.
Or...how about a question like this:
“You have spoken proudly of your time as a community organizer in Chicago. How would you explain the continued social and economic decay of the areas in which your community organizing took place and how that record should reflect on your leadership abilities?”
Exactly! Nice one!
How about a basic question for a Constitutional law ‘professor’:
“Our Constitution creates a government of limited powers. What powers do you believe are reserved to the States and to the people?”
or, considering his mentors,
“Communist political states have been the perpetrators of genocide and gross human rights violation. Why do those who follow Marx murder so many people and why are they opposed to what we Americans deem ‘inalienable rights’ which come from our Creator?”
Yes, the “sealed” records of the divorce suddenly became unsealed.I am aware of this.
