What character in a musical most closely resembles Barack Obama? You might be tempted to say Mr. Applegate, the sardonic Prince of Darkness in “Damn Yankees” (Shame on you!), Billy Flynn - the toe-tapping shyster in “Chicago” - or the title character in “Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber of Fleet Street.” (The president has taken a straight-razor to the neck of the U.S. economy.)
None of the above.
Friends – now listen, my friends, I say listen - Obama is the personification of Professor Harold Hill, the smooth-talking con man immortalized by Robert Preston in the 1962 screen version of “The Music Man.”
In 2007, Barack Obama arrived on the national stage all toothy smiles and empty, soothing slogans – “Change we can believe in” (which quickly became “If you were dumb enough to believe in me, the change in your pocket is all you‘ll have left.”) and “Yes we can.” Who we? What is it we can do, and should we do it, even if we could? Irrelevant. They were slogans meant to make us feel good about a future with him in it, not to provoke anything vaguely resembling a serious thought.
Like his musical counterpart, Obama has nothing but contempt for small town America, “where the people are as green as the money.” In an unguarded moment at a San Francisco fundraiser in 2008, the president-to-be explained that the residents of Main Street are mostly gun nuts, Bible-bangers, bigots and economic illiterates.
Obama warned the hayseeds: “We’ve got trouble. Right here in River City. With a capital ‘T’ and that rhymes with ‘B’ and that stands for Bush.”

Harold’s primary sales technique is one every entitlement-peddling Democrat has used ever since, invent a problem only you can solve, then present yourself as the solution. It’s also a common “office politics” trick, which is probably why it sets my teeth on edge.
Harold Hill exactly.. it starts with “C” which almost rhymes with “P” which stands for CLOWARD-PIVEN.. preached by Saul Alinsky and its NOT about POOL..
Anti-American leftists are brain washing your children.. DAILY..
