We knew his background and political history when he first ran for President. Then he presented himself at the 2008 Convention as some Roman God and his followers fawned over him. Remember the "faintings" in the audience and his calls for help?
It's just my opinion but I believe most Democrats, including a majority of black voters, figured he was a sure winner. Regardless of his lack of credentials, some of those who did not vote for him were, of course, called racists.
Well, racists can be found among all nationalities, races and religions. Did 95% of black people vote for him because he was a Democrat and/or because he was half-black? He did not get my vote since I did not believe he had the necessary qualifications.
Hat tip Nathan, I could not agree more.
The following link is to an old FR thread, about an even older conservative booklet called “The Revolution Was”, written in 1938 about FDR and the New Deal. I post excerpts once in awhile. It is ALL happening again - amazingly, chillingly so. Only worse.

An Excerpt:
There was a prodigious literature of revolutionary thought concealed only by the respectability of its dress....
To the revolutionary this same dreary stuff was the most exciting reading in the world. It was knowledge that gave him a sense of power. One who mastered the subject to the point of excellence could be fairly sure of a livelihood by teaching and writing, that is, by imparting it to others, and meanwhile dream of passing at a single leap from this mean obscurity to the prestige of one who assists in the manipulation of great happenings; while one who mastered it to the point of genius — that one might dream of becoming himself the next Lenin....
Worse outwitted were those who kept trying to make sense of the New Deal from the point of view of all that was implicit in the American scheme, charging it therefore with contradiction, fallacy, economic ignorance, and general incompetence to govern.
But it could not be so embarrassed and all that line was wasted, because, in the first place, it never intended to make that kind of sense, and secondly, it took off from nothing that was implicit in the American scheme. It took off from a revolutionary base.
The design was European. Regarded from the point of view of revolutionary technic it made perfect sense. Its meaning was revolutionary and it had no other. For what it meant to do it was from the beginning consistent in principle, resourceful, intelligent, masterly in workmanship, and it made not one mistake......
Having passed this crisis, the New Deal went on from one problem to another, taking them in the proper order, according to revolutionary technic; and if the handling of one was inconsistent with the handling of another, even to the point of nullity, that was blunder in reverse.
The effect was to keep people excited about one thing at a time, and divided, while steadily through all the uproar of outrage and confusion a certain end, held constantly in view, was pursued by main intention.
The end held constantly in view was power.
My guess is that the blacks will never see it that way, yet the backlash may ensure that another black person will find it difficult to be elected president for quite a while.
Oh I recall all that, and I told every black person in 2008 that this guy aint down for the struggle,
He is here to rule,He aint black he aint white, he is a shape shifter set on power.
Bread and circuses brother.
Bread and circuses.
See the bearded lady!
The tourtoise boy!
Old as the hills itself

Divide and Conquer
A load of clichés. Getting rid of nuclear weapons, blah blah blah, yada, yada, yada...
None of Obama’s REAL goals is mentioned: Swamping the U.S. with Mexicans and Muslims, destroying the dollar, destroying the suburbs, destroying health care, killing millions of babies, killing white people, killing lower-class black people, filling the ranks of the military with illegal alien invaders, shutting down all activities of Christian churches, etc.
Since they are incapable of real accomplishments, they can’t use those to get the scandal off the news. They do it by creating a new scandal. We’ve been through about 20 Obama scandals, and none of them has stuck simply because it was pushed out of the news by the next scandal.
You talk as though the Democrat party were not just as much America-hating Communists as Obama, and that they COULD have chosen a President who wouldn’t destroy the U.S.
They COULD NOT choose anyone who is not wicked, because they are all baby-murderers. No one but a demonically wicked person would ever be considered as their candidate.
There is no point even talking about what such wicked, demonic, stupid people could have done better. Obama was nurtured, almost from birth, to become the President who would collapse the United States for good. Definitively. Defunct. They didn’t put a “fool” in the White House—i.e., a fool like Carter. They put an illegal alien Muslim Communist there to engineer the end of the U.S. (Well, actually doing the thinking and engineering is Valerie Jarrett’s job.)
Thank you for posting that.
As a completely irrelevant aside, I was amused by Justice Oliver Wendell Holmes observation that revolutions are not made by people wearing spectacles. Evidently the Great Justice was unacquainted between the date of the Russian Revolution, 1917, and Holmes' death in 1935 with photographs of Trotsky.
He never quite turned out to be the promised warm-up act for all those rock concerts back in Europe of 2008.
In 2008 we had his measure.A Marxist project trained in a madrassah.
Frank Marshall Davis and Cora Weiss and Bill Ayers created his legend.
Percy Sutton, Al-Mansour, Prince Talal paid his Harvard way.
He is guided by a Jarrett from Iran daughter of the Jarrett associate of Davis.
His Arab Spring removed secular rulers and replaced them with Islamist ones.
He stays Israel and allows Iran to pursue that chaos which will release his alter ego, the Twelfth Imam.
He violates the Constitution he despises and none dare call it treason.
As he opens the gate to release the enemy commanders and welcome the deserter roundly condemned by his comrades.
He is the anti-American from Wright's hate factory.
He is the Lenin on the block from the Alinsky academy of Lucifer.
The sham Christian blaspemes and the loyal Marxist strikes.
His last act will include a cataclysm to make Pearl Harbor pale into insignificance.
Perhaps an EMP from his negotiating partner the Ayatollah.
Jimmy Carter's catastrophe was converted to farce by its curtailment at the hands of Reagan.
In our slumber the rough beast its hour come round at last slouches toward Bethlehem.
Awake. Speak. Vote.
Spot on. Neo-communism, fascism, what is the difference, really! Obama was coddled and raised basically as a red-diaper baby. The recurring theme in his upbringing was a detachment from affection for the USA that ranged from indifference to hostility.
But the little minded narcissist has had a lot of help. And still gets a lot of help. Otherwise, he would still be a community organizer in Chicago.
Sorry, I had to stop right there.
Under the current political climate and lack of principled opposition the damage will not be reversed.
There is a third possibility, namely the Barak Obama is merely what he shows the world that he is, a left of center liberal with conventional notions that big government is needed to solve big problems.
These "problems" are contrived. The children today are constantly reminded of "problems". Government is the problem.
Sorry I didn’t respond. You nailed it.
