︎THE Washington POST HITS OBAMA!

• 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…..
