" . . . a sign of his astonishing self-discipline"

That's why 0bama smokes. He has astonishing self-discipline.

Except for the fact that I don’t believe that he was a “self-made man”. He was made by those he followed, like Ayers and Alinsky.

"If, however, in his personal life as an adult, Barack Obama has strayed from the straight and narrow, we have heard nary a word."

Jeez, what a pantload! Might want to read his two (so far) autobiographies and Google "Larry Sinclair", dumkopf!

Great article. Glad it recognizes our only truly evil president, Woodrow Wilson, for what he was.

Rigid self-discipline? Drugs, nicotine, parties, dates, pizza flown on on an airplane. And that’s just the stuff he doesn’t hide.

Obama is a front man for the power behind him. He is doing the agenda of the powers behind him..

Of course, he will slip in personal objectives too. He is an empty suit. Others are making the decisions for our nation. Which is why he can paly golf often, travel to New York for a date night. etc. He shows up for the liberal press and apologizes to other nations for the foreign aid we have given to them. We must do more!!!!!!!!!!!

ARGH!!!

God help us in our day. Amen.

If, however, in his personal life as an adult, Barack Obama has strayed from the straight and narrow, we have heard nary a word.

Since most details of his life story have been suppressed, this is hardly surprising.

“-President Obama responded to a question by acknowledging that his plan aimed to reduce medical costs by aligning “incentives” in such a fashion as to discourage the sick and the dying from undergoing “additional tests” or taking “additional drugs that the evidence shows is not necessarily going to improve care.”

Apparently those from our greatest generation, to Obama’s displeasure, have overstayed their welcome. So Obama seeks to “encourage” them to go ahead and pass over. Now we know what he really meant by hope. Obama hopes all the old school Americans will go ahead and die so he doesn’t have to worry about them causing any rabble rousing when he donns his crown assuming total control over all our lives.

Can you imagine some FA bureaucratic moron making our health care decisions? Can you see her now, filling out her office chair to well beyond it’s intended capacity, slurping on her big gulp,cramming wads of potato chips down her pie hole, and talking to her boy/girl friend on her cell phone while stamping **DENIED** on our medical chart?

Think this won’t be the case if the commie in chief and his comrades in congress get their way?

Here's two words -- Larry Sinclair.
