One can only shake the head in wonder at why Barack Obama, the brilliant-beyond-brilliant presidential candidate, has flopped so badly in the same type of campaign-stump venues he enchanted with fairy dust a mere two years ago.
Perhaps, as he opined himself in The Audacity of Hope, the throngs loved him in '08 because he was a "blank slate" upon whom voters cast their own pictures. Now that he has an actual record of governance, his audiences are no longer fodder for easy bamboozling. In '08, the people saw what they wanted to see; reality bites back in 2010.
Or perhaps Obama's current flop is the natural result of overexposure through constant in-your-face public appearances, even on entertainment television, so that his once-exceptional aura has hit the trash-bin of history. Familiarity breeds contempt; force-fed familiarity breeds a national demand for barf bags.
However, anyone who knows even a smidgen of Alinsky-style community organizing philosophy sees our community organizer in chief as exactly what he was trained to be. Both off the stump and on it, the community organizer is not a doer, but a talker. The community organizer is condescending and arrogant, but he is so far above the station and education of those he is sent in to organize that he gets away with his arrogance.
The community organizer is hired by outsiders to infiltrate a town considered by others ripe for organizing. The organizer's first priority is to ingratiate himself with the community insiders. To this end, he is instructed to employ manipulative tools, such as adopting the locals' dialects and particular phraseology. He is taught to adapt purposely and sell himself as one of them. The organizer's job is always one of deception -- from start to finish. Deceit is the organizer's middle name.

One needs scientific notation to adequately express the vapidness and stupidity of the Obamaloon.
Imagine the grades of this idiot if he actually had to take real courses in college (e.g., not sociology, womyn’s studies, or advanced basketball).
As for Harvard Law a- well we know their real standards now, don’t we?
I take exception with this. There's no proof Obama is "so far above the station and education of those he is sent in to organize". I'd suggest just the opposite.
Nor is there any evidence that he's gotten away with his arrogance, proved by his abysmal polling numbers.
Good article.
Dovetails nicely with this one:

We have access to the college transcript of every presidential and vice presidential candidate for the last 5 election cycles, except for one.
And the answer to that mystery is obvious.
Soros puppet is TOAST and We The People recognize an enemy of freedom and a liar when they see them.
The answer is very simple. Two years ago, 0zer0, had no track record. Now he does.

I just about shake my head in disbelief when Obama and Co. blame the
voters for not understanding thier brilliant plans for “change”.
Even though Obama made something like 53 (58?) speeches on healthcare.
The king has no clothes.
And now enough people realize it that they’ll do something about Obama
and his elected minions.
Wednesday November 3 can’t get here soon enough.

IIRC, a college transcript for a Presidential candidate from decades
ago was “unavailable”.
It was that of Democrat/liberal darling Adlai Stevenson.
It may have been his law school transcript; I think he never got his JD.
Not as embarassing as Al Gore Jr. dropping out of divinity school!!!
