Where History Gets Weird (Great read about the lives of MO and BO)

Barack and Michelle Obama find themselves in an odd psychological trap with Bill Ayers. It finally appears that Jack Cashill's landmark work in exposing the real authorship of Barack Obama's books, has found corroboration in "Barack and Michelle: Portrait of an American Marriage," by Christopher Andersen.

The weight and plausibility of Cashill's findings of similarity between Ayer's writing and Obama's first autobiography were substantial, but now appears confirmed by Andersen.

This brings up a curious and odd psychological situation for the Obamas. They have become rich through the work of the white Ayers. Work that Barack Obama could never have succeeded at alone.

“They have become rich through the work of the white Ayers. Work that Barack Obama could never have succeeded at alone.”

“O”and his wife are more nauseating all the time and with all the things we continue to learn about them. These two bogus and inauthentic bounders even outdo Billy Boy and HIS tuna... and that's going some.

History suggests they will attempt to have Ayers, well, removed.

I would love to have been a fly on the wall at Princeton to see if subtle racism toward Michelle was really the problem.
Much more likely the giant chip on her shoulder, permanent angry scowl and her knowledge that she was only there through AA. Gee, who wouldn’t wanna befriend somebody like that!

You mean Obama’s a liar and a phony? Gee, I’m shocked.

Nah. Ayers is BHO's brain. He's not going to do a thing to the man.

I don't think this situation is at all curious or odd. It's standard human psychology. People always end up hating that which they feel they beholden to. It's also the tragedy of affirmative action: perhaps it was designed to help, by those with no understanding of human nature, or perhaps not. But either way, it has created the very racial problems it was meant to correct.

When people are “given” things that they do not deserve, it creates resentment. It is an inherent problem with government handouts. Medicare and Social Security for older people were seen as a reward for a lifetime of hard work and commitment to society. Veteran's benefits were a thank you for extraordinary service for our country. The Great Society gave people things for just “being” and the implicit understanding that they were not good enough. Affirmative Action does the same thing. There is the always present idea that it is a “gift” and a sense that one neither deserves it and is beholden to the “giver”.

Hate and Ignorance are the driving forces behind those who embrace Communism. Some eventually learn their error. Sadly, many do not.

But Obama can't destroy America anymore than Wilson, FDR, Jimmy Carter could. He can damage it, but never transform it, which means Obama fails, retires to private life like Jimmy Carter. He

I don't know about that. I think Obama is by far the most ruthless of any of the above. I think that in their own confused ways, they actually believed they were doing something in the American mold, appropriate for Americans. On the other hand, Obama hates the United States, and I don't think anything he does is done out of a confused vision, but out of a destructive one.

When one is insulated and surrounded by sycophantic louts there’s few checks on insanity and hubris.

How so, i.e., what "history"? Looks to me like the Obamas and Ayers are content with things as they are now. From the article:

Think of what they owe Bill Ayers and the trust they've placed in him. He could spill the beans of what he's done for them at any time, but he won't. Obama is his Manchurian Candidate, his Trojan horse, his Quisling for Marxism and the ruin of white America.

The implications are mind boggling. Barry has done NOTHING in his ‘career’ other than be a minority. He brings nothing himself to the table but a tool to be manipulated by somone(s) in the background. It makes perfect sense in light of how he’s carrying out his office.

Zippy never had to “adopt” Marxism-—he was in essence a red diaper baby who heard a steady stream of anti-American and anti-capitalist opprobrium from Gramps Dunham, Frank Davis, and Mommy Dearest, Stanley Ann.

He gravitated to the radicals and Marxists in school because he was just like them from the get-go. In fact, he could have given them lessons about how rotten capitalism was.

And, of course, Trinity UNC was just one more stop on the radical Marxist highway. The stuff Wright preached was standard fare for Zippy...it was what he knew and what he has always believed.

Affirmative action has reached its predictable conclusion. It’ll be interesting to see what comes next.

It sounds as though we have a new version of the Story of “O”.

We are already seeing the fanatical rear guard action by very institutions (government & education) where affirmative action is most deeply ingrained. It's far easier for the elites to defend a bankrupt idea than it is to re-think their institutional foundations. Thought is dangerous. You never know where it might lead.

Good thing the American people are largely incapable of such dangerous stuff! Would anyone be terribly surprised if a popular American Idol finalist were able to mount a respectable presidential campaign?

Bill Ayers - Obama is his Manchurian Candidate, his Trojan horse, his Quisling for Marxism and the ruin of white America.

Dreams was part of marketing Obama to get him elected, without it and Acorn He would never get elected.

Is lying to American people an impeachable offense?
