Before the last presidential election I ran into many people I had considered reasonably well-informed and educated, only to be surprised by the extent to which they had been utterly taken in by the obviously ghostwritten Obama hagiography and the media airbrushing of his background. It was scary. A first hand view of how easily manipulated public opinion is.
I was astonished that few of these people knew anything about Obama's failures in his one prior job -- getting the asbestos out of Altgeld Gardens -- and his singular executive endeavor, managing (at terrorist Bill Ayers' recommendation) millions of dollars from the Annenberg Foundation. Nor had they any notion of the thin record in support of the claim that he was truly brilliant. It was, to be blunt, enough that he was cool, black, had a degrees from Columbia and Harvard, talked the talk, and was a blank slate upon whom they could project all their fantasies of a highly intelligent, post-racial, post-partisan leader who would just fix up everything for them. (In case you missed the story of Obama the major media hid, Bill Whittle has nicely summarized it in this video.)
A few weeks ago Attorney General Holder petulantly backed off of the preposterous notion of trying terrorists in civilian criminal trials, the hallmark of this administration's New Deal for Jihadis. The Administration's Olympic level backstroking continued this week with the President's pissy, arrogant presser in which he finally released his long form birth certificate, something his staff and allies had earlier said had been burned, or was the Certificate of Live Birth the Daily Kos had posted, or didn't exist, or was impossible to obtain even by Obama.

he is Ross Perot with a blond wig.
What’s Black and White and Red all over?
The GOP for all practical purposes will cease to exist soon. They are like the Democrats in 1860 - no center, no purpose, no ideas. On the most important question of the day they are deeply divided.
They will nominate someone whose defeat is a certainty.
There will be 3, and maybe 4, candidates. This will not guarantee Obama’s victory, rather, it will assure his defeat.
In any event, if an anti-globalist does not emerge (and the GOP is deeply globalist), the country is finished anyway.
Obama With Diaper Rash.
Democrats in 1860 has PLENTY of Center, PLENTY of Purpose, PLENTY of Ideas....and they all hinged on keeping an entire race of people enslaved.
bump for later
Sidney Poitier’s son?
Yes...for anyone who knows history, the Republicans resemble the Whigs circa 1850.
This is the crux of it all! We're going to be destroyed with either party, one will be quicker than the other is the only difference.
To paraphrase, "it's the GLOBALISM, stupid."
In my honest opinion no matter who wins the 2012 election and replaces Obama, he better lose, thanks to all the presidents and politicians following 1989 and the end of Reagen’s administration; it won’t be an easy job and I still think some sort of conflict will occur because we need to eradicate the left once and for all. Otherwise, it will go down like Wisconsin. So that is my view.
He has said he won't do that.
I know this is falling on your deaf ears, but others may remember the lengthy interview played on Greta where he said so.
