This is unquestionably the best article I have ever read about Barack Obama. The author’s insight reaches a depth I had never considered before. I had previously considered Obama to be just another far left idealogue. It is far worse than that.

Being POTUS doesn’t change the truth…

“What happened in Selma, Alabama and Birmingham also stirred the conscience of the nation…This young man named Barack Obama…came over to this country. He met this woman…(who) had a good idea there was some craziness going on because they looked at each other and they decided…it might…be possible for us to get together and have a child. There was something stirring across the country because of what HAPPENED (PAST TENSE) in Selma, Alabama… So they got together and Barack Obama Jr. was born. So don’t tell me I don’t have a claim on Selma, Alabama. Don’t tell me I’m not coming home to Selma, Alabama.”

“Barack Obama went to Harvard and became an educated fool. We’re not impressed with these folks with these Eastern elite degrees. Barack is a person who read about the civil-rights protests and thinks he knows all about it.”-Representative Bobby Rush (D)

Obama never DID tell a good story. He also never was a “gifted” orator.

Without ghostwriters, teleprompters, and his LSM “Praetorian Guard” he’s nothing.

Before running for political office, Barack Obama was a stubborn dreamer with a literary bent.

Bullcrap. Bill Ayers has the ‘literary bent’. Little Bammie can’t write a note to Malia’s teacher.

It is as good as Hillary’s claim that she was named after Sir Edmund Percival Hillary.

Hillary Clinton born on Oct 26. 1947.
Edmund Hillary climbed Mount Everest on May 29, 1953.

But he could never live up to the one he imagined for himself.

Who could’ve guessed that electing a half-term Senator for reasons that had nothing to do with his accomplishments (there were none) would turn out to be a such a disappointment.

I would say he hasn't lived up to the narrative Ayers imagined for him, but it's doubtful he would have been President at all without Ayers, so it's a moot point.

You can fool some of the people all the time, and all people at some of the time, but you cannot all the people all of the time. Get lost, you flim-flam street hustling con.
