I have just read through this thread to this point (#105) and your ongoing patience and persistent cool logic under fire is impressive.
One thing that is genuine about aka obama, if nothing else is, is that he is a hopeless, flaming narcissist. Every speech he makes on almost any subject ends up revolving around him somehow. He uses more personal pronouns per sentence than a bleached-brain, inflated-ego sorority queen vomiting up saccharin how-I’d-save-the-world nonsense in a two-bit beauty contest. It’s all “I this, me that, I, I, me, me, my, my...” all the time.
There is absolutely no way such a shallow narcissistic fool who is so shamelessly in love with himself would not repeatedly lap up every single delicious word of his own biography (Hey, everybody - I’m in PRINT and it looks so official and professional and, hey, it’s all about ME!). To claim that the supreme infantile egoist aka obama simply did not notice his own bio (over many years and several revisions, I might add) is beyond incredible, even for an obot. It is mind numbing beyond belief. These people simply have no shame.
Thank you, elengr. You made a really excellent point. Obama’s photo is on the bio. No narcissist could resist reading a favorable bio of himself in print, and still less so when his actual pic went along with it. Of course he read and approved it. Anyone who suggests otherwise doesn’t know what they’re talking about on multiple levels.
But even beyond that is the fact that Obama accepted a large amount of cash, in two separate installments, to write the book described in the bio. Obama’s defenders have insulted their own intelligence by trying to separate the bio from the book; they are clearly a reflection of each other.
Iow, the Journeys in Black and White begin in Kenya. Look no further than Acton & Dystel’s own blurb/hook for this info. Obama certainly planned to write that story when he took not one but two advances for the project. He’s just not sufficiently focused or talented to write his own book. Hence eventually the project was dumped on Ayers, who wrote an altogether different book.
