There’s something profoundly tragic about the failed presidency of Barack Obama. He was supposed to be a new kind of president, a man who embodied hope and would transcend petty politics and even race. Instead, we’re left with a downgraded America that is stagnating under the weight of its bloated government. As tragic as that alone is, even this is but a mere symptom of Mr. Obama’s larger fundamental failure: He simply does not trust the Americans who entrusted him with the presidency.
Most presidents, we believe, ascend to the Oval Office, but for the 44th president, the reverse seems true. Whatever majesty the White House can muster must rise to the grandiosity of Barack Obama. “We are the ones we have been waiting for,” said the man who writes autobiographies and later would claim to control the rise of the oceans.
As recently as this month, the food-stamp president of 13 million unemployed Americans declared himself the fourth-most-accomplished president in the history of the United States, eclipsing, in his own mind, President Reagan and even our nation’s father, George Washington. That in only three years. Barack the Magnificent won’t allow trivialities like $15 trillion debts or historic national credit downgrades dissuade him.

Hey I didn’t write it, so ask the author at the link. I sure as hell don’t think he ever embodied hope. I always thought he was batsh$t crazy, a malignant narcissist and an Islamic Marxist.

LOL. Sorry. My tirade wasn’t directed at you. It was directed at the author. I have a habit of addressing these people as if I’m talking with them face to face.
Statists like Obama make me wonder how people like Stalin got into position to kill millions of people.
They didn’t just walk in and take over- was it incremental like this?
Who know the history of some of those commie takeovers? Did they have people ulluing strings to set it up like Soros?
holy cow- where did that come from?
Anyone else getting a Howard Hughes kind of vibe from all this?
For the 100th time, HE’S NOT FAILING!!!
I agree with you. He hasn’t failed at all.
Ever notice how he wears his watch? A good 2-3 inches above his wrist. Only sissies and whiffandpoofs wear their watches like that.
Which is it?
India?? :)
That article you posted is all over the Internet. Do you know the original source? Link?
radical POS sissy.
A radical and POS no doubt. However I tend to think our Obozo is a closet tailgunner. The wookie and kids are just the window dressing.
Mr. Obama’s distrust of Americans is his fatal flaw, and Republicans would be wise to exploit it fully. The GOP should resist the temptation simply to become a cleverer version of autocrats who pull the same powerful levers of government but in different directions. Instead, they should become the party that embraces liberty.
Your whole post was right on. But this part especially deserved repeating.
Scary scenario. What a weirdo and to think he is president.
