Obama 1995: In hard economic times, politicians tend to look for racial scapegoats
posted at 9:45 pm on August 20, 2009 by Allahpundit
Yeah, good point. Isn’t it depressing when politicians try to demagogue what’s essentially an economic issue? I can just picture the heads nodding at MSNBC. I’ll say this for you, champ: You’ve got a lot of nerve.
Watch to the end for some sweet, sweet bonus material on Rev. Wright, whose more radical tendencies The One naturally never ever had an inkling of.

If Pelosi represents the best, Henry Waxman is the face of the democrat party.

This is just more evidence that this sycophant socialist is just a one hit wonder. He’s such a wuss though, I have hopes that he actually WILL resign half way through his term. Seems like the thing to do these days.

Nice juxtaposition to the MS-NBC ‘right-wing gun-toting racist whacko’ hit piece – especially now that ObamaCare seems to be going down in flames. Someone alert the MS-NBC West Wing Annex, we found a smoking gun (pardon the pun)!
What a fraud. Media manipulation, race-baiting, strong-arm tactics, fascism, demagoguery, cronyism, fraud, etc., etc., etc. – and that’s just the first six months!

That’s what makes me sad. In this church “faith,” “hope” and “Jesus” were just means to an end, just handy tools used to couch racism and politics in “holy” terms; shortcuts to give speakers automatic artificial authority that they couldn’t get through their message alone.
And these churches, and speakers, exist all throughout America’s Black community. So there are millions of Obama’s out there who think they’re learning about God when they’re really learning Marxist theory couched in terms palatable to a community with historically strong ties to the Christian Church.

I try not to beat this narcissist drum too hard, because I think people probably get sick of hearing it and sometimes equate it with a “birther” thing. Narcissists, like our friend Barry, aren’t like regular folks. I know from first-hand experience, because my mother is a narcissist. I can read her high school diaries and I can read the journal that she wrote last week at the age of 83, and seriously, the tone of the diary and of the journal is exactly the same. Narcissists don’t grow up, they don’t mature, they don’t acquire any depth as they age. It’s as if experience doesn’t touch them the way it does other people.

People don’t really get it until they have been affected by it. The only way to cure a narcissist is to break them back down to infancy emotionally and start over again. It’s about the whole trust thing, lack of trust and bonding in infancy.

What is the end game for the Dems? Pass the bill and lose 2010 control, and possibly 2012. Or, back down and lose the left and all the money that put them there in the first place.
I say they are going to go for broke and push the nuke button… and will shove this crap sandwich down everybody throats, blame all the rebubs for all the short comings of the bill, and try and pick up the pieces afterwords.
That career expectancy light just went into overdrive, and they figure what the hell…”it is better to burn bright than to fade away”.
The Dead Terrorist on August 20, 2009 at 10:55 PM
I wouldn’t go that far. I had never heard of BLT as a consolidated ideology before Obama came on the scene nor do I know of a BLT church in LA. However, bits and piece of its precepts have been floating around for decades. (For example, my great-aunt, a Catholic, told me that some guest priest had claimed “the black man was going to rule the world someday” and that such an assertion was somewhere in the Bible–probably right next to “God d*mn America.”) Obama’s ascendency put a name on these floating crazy race theories–at least for me they did.

Babyhugger on August 20, 2009 at 11:36 PM
I cannot help but wonder, surely Bam-bam knows all these clips are out there & that at one point or another they’d be all over the web regardless of the MSM. That the public and even the netroots ( http://www.mefeedia.com/entry/charming-liar-progressives-turn-on-obama-as-air-america-exposes-fascist-drug-deal/22051948 ) will eventually wise up to his game.
Yet his arrogance remains brazen and seems determined to ram through disasterous policies and budgets. He has Rahmmy steam-rollering over powerful execs, bankers, confressman and senators without any apparent worry that he’ll need their support later.
Exit question: Its a given the right won’t be there for him. Plus obviously he feels that he’ll not need his base, public opinion, power brokers both in and out of Gov’t or any other traditional support, what has he up his sleeve?
He shows no apparent concern and blithely proceeds upon wanton destruction not only the country, but any electoral possibility of re-election. He is no idiot, he may be delusionally narcissistic ( http://www.noquarterusa.net/blog/?s=obama+narcissism&submit=search )that has been amply commented upon. But can this be all there is to his apparent ease in office? Or, in true sense of word, does he have a “never let a crisis go to waste” master plan to seize absolute power? Will find a way to declare “Martial Law”? Does he think between ACORN,SEIU Etal that he can fudge/steal the office?
OK, that more like exit questions, but whatever. I cannot help but feel something big ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-xKPcyvlfnc ) is afoot. I hope I am not descending into paranoia, but these qustions and my lack of adequate answers keeps me up at night.
Thoughts…..anyone?
Archimedes on August 20, 2009 at 11:45 PM
Yes, I’m sure you’re right, but the thing about narcissists is that they rarely seek help because they are never wrong. It’s really astounding to watch one of these people up close; their denial and bait-and-switch tactics are simply amazing.
This country is in for one bad trip with Obama until we get rid of him. People who may think he will “crack” and step down because he’s being criticized?–Never!
