The fact that ANYONE in polite company discusses the topic of an Obama as a legitimate President with good intentions is an insult to our forefathers.

For years, I’ve seen George Will, Charles Krauthammer, Bill Kristol, even Brit Hume et al sit on those Sunday talk shows and throughout the week and calmly discuss him as such. A President with honest differences in ideology, and gee, can’t we all just get along and see the logic of it all?

BS. BS to the maximum. They are all now getting more outspoken, but where in the hell were they for 5 years? Where?

When Obama gave his speech to announce his run for the presidency in 2008, I asked “who is this guy and who is backing him. One doesn’t just wake up one day and decide to run.”

Months later, the weekend before the 2008 election, Tom Brokaw was on the Charlie Rose program. They were pining ‘we don’t know much about this guy,’ ‘we don’t know what he reads,’ ‘we don’t know what he believes,’ etc.

Ironically, Rose and Brokaw represented the same media that always claimed ‘vetting candidates’ was their responsiblity. They definitely failed — intentionally — in 2008. They tried to create a myth around Obama, and the central character grossly failed at living up to their expectations.

For his first inaugural, I quipped: ‘would he walk across the Potomac into Washington or would he just descend out of the clouds?’

While they’re all talking, Obama is destroying. There’s lots of empty talk, bluster and whining in DC. But from Obama’s perspective, such palaver is nothing to be concerned about. In the meantime, he continues his task of taking a wrecking ball to the Republic.
