We've Figured Him Out (Ben Stein nails Obama!)
American Spectator ^ | 7/27/2009 | Ben Stein

Posted on 07/27/2009 6:42:33 AM PDT by milwguy

Why is President Barack Obama in such a hurry to get his socialized medicine bill passed?

Because he and his cunning circle realize some basic truths:

The American people in their unimaginable kindness and trust voted for a pig in a poke in 2008. They wanted so much to believe Barack Obama was somehow better and different from other ultra-leftists that they simply took him on faith.

They ignored his anti-white writings in his books. They ignored his quiet acceptance of hysterical anti-American diatribes by his minister, Jeremiah Wright.

They ignored his refusal to explain years at a time of his life as a student. They ignored his ultra-left record as a "community organizer," Illinois state legislator, and Senator.

The American people ignored his total zero of an academic record as a student and teacher, his complete lack of scholarship when he was being touted as a scholar.

Now, the American people are starting to wake up to the truth. Barack Obama is a super likeable super leftist, not a fan of this country, way, way too cozy with the terrorist leaders in the Middle East, way beyond naïveté, all the way into active destruction of our interests and our allies and our future.

Now, Americans are waking up to the truth that ObamaCare basically means that every time you are sick or injured, you will have a clerk from the Department of Motor Vehicles telling your doctor what he can and cannot do.

I don't understand statists. My father is one. He rails about government intrusion, inefficiency, fraud, and corruption. The next breath he'll tell me how more tax dollars, regulation, and government ownership will solve all of our problems. It flies in the face of logic.

and Stein has been an obama fan- didn’t he vote for the POS?

I don't know about that.

Here is a quote of his from 2007 that I saved:

Ben Stein in the Feb. 2007 issue of The American Spectator eviscerates Obama: "...what is this insanity about Barack Obama? He's nobody. Nothing. Just a small town ward heeler who has already been busted taking bribes, has no experience at all -- NONE -- on the world stage or in defense or anything else. Could we be crazy enough to even consider him as president? Have we gone totally nuts? Hillary is a responsible politician with broad experience. I do not want to see her elected, but she's Winston Churchill compared to Obama.", posted on 02/24/2007 3:14:53 PM PST by Verginius Rufus

“‘Bless your little heart’.”

Ahhh, like the tried and true Southern disingenuous compliment followed by a tastefully sarcastic, yet ostensibly polite, converstation where the idiot being dressed down may not realize it.

Done properly, it is a true art form.

I would go out and say that there are plenty of compliant suck-ups to choose from that can actually articulate and think on their feet. As one of the main faces of the administration, you would think Obama would choose someone who doesn’t make him and the secretary look like an idiot.

My only reasoning is that Obama wants to surround himself with people who are mental midgets so he could look smarter, or he really hasn’t a clude who to surround himself with.

Tony Snow, God Bless his soul, was by far one of the best PS in recent memory.

I used to love watch the his press addresses. Witty, smart and articulate.

“Democrats love to be deceived”

Hence, their delusional thinking that a Utopian society can be attained.

I went looking for Ben’s comments about “0” and found how he couldn’t stop smiling on inauguration day - *groan*

Maybe the slumbering giant in America is starting to shake itself. I have noticed a lot of the elitist repubs seem to be backtracking lately, if only somewhat.

I really can’t understand why they didn’t know what he was about from the beginning. The zero’s associations, his writings, not to mention his involvement in community rabble rousing, made it clear as day, even if you wanted to discount the rumors.

I think it was Robert Heinlein who said,” You can’t fool all the people all the time, but you fool enough of them to run a good sized country.”

Their belief in a Utopian possibility is, ironically, what makes them most dangerous.

They will willingly sacrifice their freedom and yours, as well as your life (not theirs) in order to achieve that Utopia, because it is such a desirable goal.

Voters can overwhelm ACORN — all they have to do is get motivated enough to get off the couch and go vote...... and people do not advance vote by mail, look at how they used that in MN to give the election to Franken.

For example, despite the current economic mess, my mother-in-law insists that things were far worse under Bush and that good times are right around the corner with Obama.

I hope you're not planning to share your stockpiled groceries with her when the store by her house is empty.

disagree. Distancing ones self from Bush was the wrong approach. What was needed was someone who would be willing to defending some of the more hated policies of the Bush administration (i.e, how Cheney defended “torture” policies and other national defense policies).

Ben Stein may have ignored all of these truths about 0bama, but FReepers didn’t.

The Nation of Islam uniform might do. Or maybe just for his goon squad, because you’re right, he’ll want something flashier.
