Ten years ago America met a guy named Barack Obama
Washington Post ^ | 7-28-2014 | Jaime Fuller

Posted on 08/01/2014 6:23:49 AM PDT by Citizen Zed

Sunday marked the 10th anniversary of President Obama's national debut at the Democratic National Convention. He was tasked with giving the keynote address at the 2004 event.

He told a New York Times reporter the week before the convention, ''It came as a surprise that I'd be selected for such a privileged position. As my wife reminds me, I better not screw it up.''

What a bleak decade it’s been. I pray we can undo the fundamental harm he’s caused this great nation.

Entitlement Army to provide the votes.
Crony Capitalists to provide the campaign $$

I don’t think it can be defeated until the fake money crashes and entitlements blow up.

I never connected with him on any level. I was just immune to his jibber jabber. I looked at his body language and his facial expressions and just knew immediately that this clown was full of crap - and then the Jeremiah Wright stuff came out . . . . and he survived?

I imagined myself a hiring manager and this liar comes to me for a job : "hmmmm, says I, Baskin Robbins - fired - community organizer? Wassat? You mean rabble rouser? What's left is hidden? What?"

I would have passed on him for a floor sweeper job at minimum wage (or less) - and the American electorate makes him president of the United States. Ok - right. . . .

I think Bill Clinton calls it “ the biggest fairy tale ever “ - not that Hillary is any more qualified that Soetoro, but I did think it was hilarious that Clinton said “ fairy “ - zing!

The Clintons would have used their legendary private detective squad to bring out the truth about Obama.

Except the Chicago Mob had the inside info on Arkancides.

Mutually Assured Destruction.....

Just to add to your Post.

My Late Aunt lost her Sight to Glaucoma when she was in her early 20’s. Back then there was nothing that could be done.

I remember to this day when she told me she listened to one of Obama’s Speeches back in 2008. All she said was, that guy is a Phony, one of her favorite descriptive terms.

She had no preconditioned thoughts about Obama since she was sightless, she just knew who and what he was and she was absolutely correct.

As for me, I don’t get it either. People go on about Obama’s eloquence, intelligence, personality and his “good looks” (yuck). I look at them and wonder what color the Sky is in their World. They have no idea who this guy is or where he came from, but they base their entire viewpoint of him on Faith that is supported by the Media.

They say he is a Constitutional Lawyer, he is not. They say he is Highly Intelligent, he is not. They say he wants to Unite the Country, he has not.

When you dare to question what leads them to their conclusions about Obama, they stare at you thinking to themselves, don’t you know? It is beyond creepy how half the Country can be manipulated so easily.

As a Child in the mid fifties, I remember watching movies on TV of the bodies of Jews being bulldozed into Mass Graves after the Allies Liberated the Camps. I asked my Mother how the German People could follow such an Evil Person like Hitler. She just told me she didn’t know.

Well, today I am the one who doesn’t know how half my Countrymen can support Evil, but they do and they do it proudly.

Does anyone honestly think that the rise of BO was coincidental and not planned? He has been groomed. He has had too fast a rise in too short a time. It has long been my opinion that he is an “empty suit” and only says and does those things which he is told. That is why he appears so stupid when he has to speak “off the cuff.” Remember when he was called upon to say something about the airplane that had been shot down. He blubbered through a couple of sentences and then went right into his stump/fund raising speech! A day or two later he was at least prepared and spoke about as coherent as we could expect. Why? Because his handlers had told him what to say and loaded his teleprompter.

As to the ones pulling the strings we can start with Valerie Garrett and go back to his buddies at the Weather Underground and finally to George Soros.

Some may think I am crazy, but if you look at where BO is most comfortable, it is where he is scripted and when he is out having fun (i.e. hitting on gays, drinking beer, yucking it up, playing golf). May the Lord allow us to outlive him as a nation and have a leader who can begin to repair the damage that this leftist and his crowd have created!

He was definitly groomed. No newcomer gets a prime speaking spot at a nominating convention except for very specfic reasons.

My one term description for Obama is that he is a con man. It takes some skills to be a con man, but knowledge and real intelligence aren’t required, just an ability to talk fast (or a read fast from a teleprompter) and posture and pose, which are real specialties of his.

And you’re right, he can read a teleprompter and has a few talking points memorized. Beyond that, he’s stumbling and babbling mediocrity.

Ten years ago, were his initials BHO or simply BS?

What here his Initials before his records were sealed by a judge?

Is that judge still alive?

The judge may not be, but BHO’s BS sure is!

The Lyrics to the Introductory music......set some kind of TONE didnt they...

Keep on pushin’
Keep on pushin’

I’ve got to keep on pushing
I can’t stop now
Move up a little higher
Someway or somehow

‘Cause I’ve got my strength
And it don’t make sense
Not to keep on pushin’

Hey, Hallelujah,Hallelujah
Keep on pushin’

Now, maybe some day
I’ll reach that higher goal
I know I can make it
With just a little bit of soul

http://www.metrolyrics.com/keep-on-pushing-lyrics-the-impressions.html

thus began the pubic phase of the HOPE CHANGE and SOUL HYPE!

What is really sick is that if Obama could run for a third term, he would win.

What makes you think he won't? I said before he was elected the first time that, if he won, he would intend to stay.

Didn't you see the crease in his pants, that surely meant he was destined to be president.</sarcasm>

I sort of doubt Obama will run for a third term. I think he will be satisfied to hand off the baton to another hard-core, tranformative leftist.

You can bet your bottom dollar that if Obama did try to go for a third term, about 45% of the population would be cheering him on. They don't give a damn that the Constitution prohibits a third term.
