If were going to delve deep into a candidate's past, let's delve deep into a candidate's past.
Here's Obama in his own words admitting to physically shoving a little girl named Coretta.
Yes, it was at this moment that the first shot in the War on Women was fired.
(Excerpt) Read more at breitbart.com ...
Aside from any questions about whether young Miss Coretta was a real person ... What sort of person obsesses over this sort of stuff as an adult?
There is nothing about 0bama’s past outside of his 2 (or is it 3?) autobiographies that is corroborated by any other source.
What I want to know from the taster in chief is, what does tiger taste like?
like a big pussy?
[No doubt that after expending all that energy bullying an innocent little girl, young Obama readied himself for round two by eating a Golden Retriever.]
LoL!
Coretta is just a composite of all the girls 0bama pushed away from himself.
Obviously, if there was such a girl her name wasn't Coretta. But the reason people talk about it is the Romney bullying story that's making the rounds today.
Romney gets accused of being cruel to dogs, having polygamous ancestors, and bullying others in school -- all things that are also in Obama's own background.
gee it almost seems like a strategy.
I don’t believe Obama was ever given tiger - just dog and snake.
According to the ones who fed Obama this stuff - word was he would take on the attributes of the animal eaten... Dog and snake seem possible - tiger - not so much...
Does WaPo know that Obama sucker-punched a 7th grader in the nose, drawing blood and making him cry?
Oh come on, this is great stuff...
Sorry ... perhaps I wasn't clear.
This is apparently an excerpt from one of Zero's autobiographies. I find it very bizarre that he (the author) would be so obsessed by it that he would include it ... why does he still care? Why does he think we care? Something's wrong, IMO, with an adult who's still fussing over this sort of thing.
That said, IMO there's something wrong with an adult who has accomplished nothing, but thinks his empty life is worth an autobiography.
But why did he write it? Seriously ... something's wrong with him.
You don't suppose he's some sort of narcissist with delusions of grandeur ...
It's more or less fiction -- invented, and not all of it invented by Obama himself.
Part of it reflects a desire to run for higher office at some point, to write a campaign biography that will be used in a later political race. Part of it involves a desire to create a readable book out of the life of someone who really hadn't accomplished much up to that point, to give a narrative arc to what may not yet be much of a life. If Obama (or his ghost) didn't have incidents or didn't want to write about the incidents they had, they made them up.
That said, IMO there's something wrong with an adult who has accomplished nothing, but thinks his empty life is worth an autobiography.
It was probably about the advance money more than anything else. If publishers were willing to pay him the money, he was going to turn out a book (whether or not he actually wrote it himself).
Sure, there's something narcissistic about that. But people get themselves into life situations where that kind of thing seems natural. Once you go a certain distance down the path you come to feel you're entitled.
Think of Elizabeth Warren. When you get to the point where you've got a job by pretending to be an Indian, you don't look back, you don't reflect about whether that was right. If you're the kind of person who lies to get ahead, you go forward and lie about more things to get ahead.
I'm not sure what's more pathetic ...
That Zero's real life is so empty that not kissing his not girlfriend in early elementary school merits mention ...
or that he (or his ghostwriter) would feel compelled to invent this sort of thing as an "incident" worth mentioning.
Either way ... sticking him with the moniker "Zero" seems more appropriate every day.

At least one literary agent thought Obama had a life story in him and she got him a contract. According to one account, she actually told a publisher “I am bringing you a book by the man who will be the first black president of the United States.” Obama couldn't get a quality book out in time and after it finally did come out and started to sell he treated the agent rather shabbily.
The whole story is pretty shabby, the whole "How I Became Me, or Why I Am So Wonderful" thing. But there were people out there who were willing to buy a story from him and publish it. I suspect they were half looking for an inspiring "Homeless to Harvard" type story and half investing in someone who they thought would at least become a major African-American politician.
A Black Rhodes Scholar like Kurt Schmoke or Corey Booker who plans on going into politics has a lot of doors opened for him, but neither of them got book contracts so young. Possibly the mixed-race and Kenyan angles were considered a draw for readers. Obama's book wasn't going to be either a middle class Black or a ghetto Black story, but something different, and in the eyes of publishers perhaps something more sellable to the (White) mainstream.
