• Finally, the Washington Post speaks out on Obama! This is very brutal but
    timely though. As I’m sure you know, the Washington Post newspaper has
    a reputation for being extremely liberal. So the fact that its editor
    saw fit to print the following article about Obama in it’s newspaper
    makes this a truly amazing event and a news story in and of itself. At
    last, the truth about our President and his obvious socialist agenda
    are starting to trickle through the protective wall built around him
    by our liberal media.

    I too have become disillusioned

    By Matt Patterson (columnist – Washington Post, New York Post, San
    Francisco Examiner)

    Years from now, historians may regard the 2008 election of Barack
    Obama as an inscrutable and disturbing phenomenon, the result of a
    baffling breed of mass hysteria akin perhaps to the witch craze of the
    Middle Ages. How, they will wonder, did a man so devoid of
    professional accomplishment beguile so many into thinking he could
    manage the world’s largest economy, direct the world’s most powerful
    military, execute the world’s most consequential job? Imagine a future
    historian examining Obama’s pre-presidential life: ushered into and
    through the Ivy League despite unremarkable grades and test scores
    along the way; a cushy non-job as a “community organizer”; a brief
    career as a state legislator devoid of legislative achievement (and in
    fact nearly devoid of his attention, so often did he vote “present”);
    and finally an unaccomplished single term in the United States Senate,
    the entirety of which was devoted to his presidential ambitions.

    He left no academic legacy in academia, authored no signature
    legislation as a legislator. And then there is the matter of his
    troubling associations: the white-hating, America-loathing preacher
    who for decades served as Obama’s “spiritual mentor”; a real-life,
    actual terrorist who served as Obama’s colleague and political
    sponsor. It is easy to imagine a future historian looking at it all
    and asking: how on Earth was such a man elected president?

    Not content to wait for history, the incomparable Norman Podhoretz
    addressed the question recently in the Wall Street Journal: To be
    sure, no white candidate who had close associations with an outspoken
    hater of America like Jeremiah Wright and an unrepentant terrorist
    like Bill Ayers, would have lasted a single day. But because Mr. Obama
    was black, and therefore entitled in the eyes of liberal Dom to have
    hung out with protesters against various American injustices, even if
    they were a bit extreme, he was given a pass. Let that sink in: Obama
    was given a pass – held to a lower standard – because of the color of
    his skin

    Podhoretz continues: And in any case, what did such ancient history
    matter when he was also so articulate and elegant and (as he himself
    had said) “non-threatening,” all of which gave him a fighting chance
    to become the first black president and thereby to lay the curse of
    racism to rest?

    Podhoretz puts his finger, I think, on the animating pulse of the
    Obama phenomenon – affirmative action. Not in the legal sense, of
    course. But certainly in the motivating sentiment behind all
    affirmative action laws and regulations, which are designed primarily
    to make white people, and especially white liberals, feel good about
    themselves.

    Unfortunately, minorities often suffer so that whites can pat
    themselves on the back. Liberals routinely admit minorities to schools
    for which they are not qualified, yet take no responsibility for the
    inevitable poor performance and high drop-out rates which follow.
    Liberals don’t care if these minority students fail; liberals aren’t
    around to witness the emotional devastation and deflated self-esteem
    resulting from the racist policy that is affirmative action. Yes,
    racist. Holding someone to a separate standard merely because of the
    color of his skin – that’s affirmative action in a nutshell, and if
    that isn’t racism, then nothing is.

    And that is what America did to Obama. True, Obama himself was never
    troubled by his lack of achievements, but why would he be? As many
    have noted, Obama was told he was good enough for Columbia despite
    undistinguished grades at Occidental; he was told he was good enough
    for the US Senate despite a mediocre record in Illinois ; he was told
    he was good enough to be president despite no record at all in the
    Senate. All his life, every step of the way, Obama was told he was
    good enough for the next step, in spite of ample evidence to the
    contrary.

    What could this breed if not the sort of empty narcissism on display
    every time Obama speaks? In 2008, many who agreed that he lacked
    executive qualifications nonetheless raved about Obama’s oratory
    skills, intellect, and cool character. Those people – conservatives
    included – ought now to be deeply embarrassed.  The man thinks and
    speaks in the hoariest of clichés, and that’s when he has his
    Teleprompters in front of him; when the prompter is absent he can
    barely think or speak at all. Not one original idea has ever issued
    from his mouth – it’s all warmed-over Marxism of the kind that has
    failed over and over again for 100 years.

    And what about his character? Obama is constantly blaming anything and
    everything else for his troubles. Bush did it; it was bad luck; I
    inherited this mess. It is embarrassing to see a president so willing
    to advertise his own powerlessness, so comfortable with his own
    incompetence. But really, what were we to expect? The man has never
    been responsible for anything, so how do we expect him to act
    responsibly?

    In short: our past president is a small and small-minded man, with
    neither the temperament nor the intellect to handle his job. When you
    understand that, and only when you understand that, will the current
    erosion of liberty and prosperity make sense. It could not have gone
    otherwise with such a man in the Oval Office.

    And now Obama is back, with his hand up Biden’s arse moving his
    demented mouth…….. the USA is in real trouble…..
