WASHINGTON POST ON OBAMA TELLING THE TRUTH FRIST TIME
Washington Post on Obama - FINALLY!
BY MATT PATTERSON! Ina
As I’m sure you know, the Washington Post Newspaper has always had a
Reputation for being extremely liberal, so the fact that their Editor
Saw fit to print the following article about Obama in their newspaper
Makes this a truly amazing event and a news story in and of itself.
Finally, the truth about our radical President’s agenda is starting to
Trickle through the ‘protective walls’ built by our liberal media.

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 liberaldom 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 teleprompter 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 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.
Go back and read it again!!!....and pass it on!!!!
