Bugged by the miracle of Obama
American Thinker ^ | May 12, 2008 | James Lewis

Posted on 05/12/2008 5:08:42 AM PDT by vietvet67

Is anyone else bothered by the superhuman rise of Barack Obama? Granted all his virtues, his intelligence, his fast footwork, and the grand rhetoric of his stump speech. Does anyone feel bothered by the fact that he has a conspicuously invisible track record, and that his Illinois years are marred by doctrinaire leftism and intimate connections with the Chicago Machine?

Here's a telling fact: Michelle Obama is the daughter of a Daley Machine precinct captain. She grew up watching Chicago politics up close; now she is its biggest homegrown star. Maybe it's not that hard to understand Obama marrying Michelle and blasting off like a Delta rocket at Canaveral. Lots of Chicago loyalists must be counting on their share of the 2,700 appointed positions in a new US administration. Others are figuring how to get fat government contracts -- to help the poor and oppressed, of course.

All the Rezkos and Auchis and Khalidis that we haven't heard about yet are counting on access to the halls of American power. Once those Obamanites are in charge in Washington, DC, they will apply the lessons of Chicago politics because that's what they know. After all, the Clintons brought their Arkansas politics to Washington. We're told this is the Second Coming, but it might just be a war of political machines.

Look at other Democrats who rose to instant stardom. Jimmy Carter -- dubbed "Dhimmi Carter" by Mark Steyn -- came out of obscurity on to the national scene. As president Jimmy performed like Buster Keaton, one spectacular pratfall after another, and continues thirty years later to harm our national security with pigheaded self-righteousness.

The perverse miracle is that a man with these associations and this background could ever be considered for the Presidencey.

Barack, who is Hussein, Obama, is the absolute apex of the domestic enemy, subversive, anti-American movement in this country.

Polished in a prepared speech, charismatic in his presentation, nonetheless, underneath it all lies a smoldering cauldron of marxism, bigotry, and black liberation theology that is the enemy of America and its traditional values.

Obama is an orator...and likely a pretty good guy. But he does have a past...including the likes of Rev. Wright.

The MSM want Obama. They will help him continue as the Kabuki candidate. Look how the MSM and the Chattering Class twisted themselves in pretzels to cover for a completely exposed Clinton. They will - and are - doing the same work to help Hussein Obama.

In my book, a "pretty good guy" is not someone who tries to massively deceive upon millions of people.

I find nothing unusual about the sudden rise of Barack Carpathia Obama.

The MSM want Obama.

They picked McCain, too. They sure didn't do Duncan Hunter or Fred Thompson any favors. And all the attention lavished on the Huckster both before and after Ames sandbagged Mitt, as well.

The only way to thwart the press is to take back Congress. We need to make serious progress on it this year, not just in 2010.

If he gets elected you can add an “er” into a word in the title I do believe.

At least that is what it is going to feel like if he gets what he wants passed.

Has anybody asked just what Obama did as a “community organizer”? He supposedly went to Chicago “to make a difference,” but what difference did he make? Did he dosomething more than drive old ladies to get them registered? He said he went to “save jobs.” Whose job did he save?

Yes, what exactly did he organize and who was paying him?

That torpedo ship was from a VERY old black and white graphic. If you look you can see a sailor in white standing there.
