Dynamite article. Send this one to every Democrat and undecided voter you know...

[Sacajaweau]

His entire life revolves around one “black” little circle....from Rev. Wright to his legal work.

[BallparkBoys]

bump for later..

Faced with his failures, he tries to obscure the record; or else he blames mistakes on staffers or other people.

One can see the same traits in Deval Patrick... another Marxist-socialist.

I’ve worked with a few “Obama’s” in my day. It sucks.

[Moonmad27]

I hope, as the article says, the spell wears off before election day in November.

[Tarpon]

It's quite possible the acorn the squirrel always finds, Marxism does not work .... The Soviet Union took 75 years or so to perfect that message. But liberals keep trying, you got to give them a hole for effort.

For all his education, he never could land real work. That's how he ended up a "community organizer" in Chicago.

Has he ever had what real people would call a job?

[Publius Valerius]

he never could land real work.

That makes it sound as if he was looking. The black editor of the Harvard Law Review? He could go to an interview with his pants on his head and he'd have a job offer from every law firm in the country.

[Beckwith]

Has he ever had what real people would call a job?

He's had one.

Obama graduated from Columbia College in 1983 and briefly entered the commercial world. He was employed by Business International Corporation, a publishing and advisory firm dedicated to assisting American companies in operating abroad. He didn't last very long and quickly moved to the activist New York Public Interest Research Group.

The New York Public Interest Research Group (NYPIRG), started by Ralph Nader in the 1970s, is New York State's largest student-directed consumer, environmental and government reform organization. It is a not-for-profit group, established to effect policy reforms while training students and other New Yorkers to be advocates. Since 1973, NYPIRG has played the key role in fighting for more than 120 public interest laws and executive orders.

The Obama File

[ReleaseTheHounds]

How could this “background” lead to a major book deal just a few years out of law school? Somebody picked this guy out for “special handling” and sustenance. George Soros, maybe?

[syriacus]

Great column!

[Publius Valerius]

The same reason that he could have gotten a job at any law firm in the country. His type of people are *special*.

Thank you for posting the American Thinker article.

I was queasy when I heard Obama for he first time - now I cannot bear to watch him deceive those who believe his lies.

He is truly a dangerous person to have fooled so many.

The USA and its people will be committing suicide if he is elected. We will enter a period in our modern history like no other and we silently watch it approaching.

Obama is a pathology similar to those madmen who have brought other nations to their knees and we are standing waiting for it to happen to us.

[syriacus]

Well, now, they often call me Barry, but my real name is Mister Schmooze.

[denydenydeny]

Notwithstanding an apparent eleven-year teaching career in constitutional law at a top-flight law school, not one single article, published talk, book review, or comment of any kind, anywhere in the professional legal literature, under Barack Obama's name

Publish or perish...unless you're Barack Obama and have powerful friends.

Very true but Obama is only the symptom, not the disease! The nation has terminal carcinoma and Obama is the blood clot that alerts a good oncologist to the fact. Unfortunately, there is no cure, the disease has spread through a critical mass of the electorate, millions of whom are stupid AND ignorant and believe that Obama actually is the one we have all been waiting for. The part that still makes me want to heave is that this utter stupidity is so prevalent among the so-called “super educated”, those who hold “advanced degrees”. Did they go to stupid school to learn to be stupid?

[tessalu]

I read today, in a Palestinian newspaper, that enemies of the USA are already lining up jobs for “President Obama” to do for them. They plan on asking Obama for some big airplanes to drop supplies over into Gaza, so that they can still carry on a war and still eat good too.
