The Spiteful President Obama

Say what you will about Barack Obama, but the man is quite exceptional. Coming from a broken home, he grew up and graduated from Columbia University and went on to earn a law degree at Harvard. Both schools are amongst the most challenging to get into in the country. Not only that, he was an editor of the Harvard Law Review and taught at the University of Chicago law school.

Looking at his life one has to marvel at the various points where he might have run into trouble that could have derailed his career but didn’t. The most obvious was his extensive experience with illegal drugs. One cannot hold a grudge against the man simply because he was lucky enough to have not gotten caught and thrown in jail. Most of us have made a mistake or two that could have changed the course of our lives had things played themselves out a little differently.

Barack Obama has had something of a charmed life. While a child of a broken home, his formative years were spend in Hawaii where he was raised by his maternal grandparents. Today he’s President of the most powerful country in the world, he has a family who loves him and he has millions of people across the country who adore him.

One has to wonder then why a man with such a charmed life is so spiteful. Typically people are spiteful when they have been grievously injured or harmed. What does Barack Obama have to be spiteful about? Who does he have to get even with? Maybe his father for abandoning his family, but other than that what else does he have to be so angry about?

We first saw this side of President Obama during the first month of his presidency when he told GOP Senator John Kyl of Arizona “I won” during the debate over the makeup of the President’s stimulus plan. The President was simply stating a fact, but the message behind the words was crystal clear, I’m the victor, you’re the losers, now we do things my way. Of course once the GOP won by a landslide in 2010 the President changed his tune, telling the GOP earlier this year that despite their having won, “Getting your way is not how it works.”

A recent and more troubling episode of this petulance was on full display just last week when the President invoked the name of Ronald Reagan during his fight with the GOP over negotiations on raising the debt limit. Frustrated at GOP insistence that equivalent spending cuts offset any debt ceiling increase the following transpired:

First Black Elected to Head Harvard's Law Review

The Harvard Law Review, generally considered the most prestigious in the country, elected the first black president in its 104-year history today. The job is considered the highest student position at Harvard Law School.

The new president of the Review is Barack Obama, a 28-year-old graduate of Columbia University who spent four years heading a community development program for poor blacks on Chicago's South Side before enrolling in law school. His late father, Barack Obama, was a finance minister in Kenya and his mother, Ann Dunham, is an American anthropologist now doing fieldwork in Indonesia. Mr. Obama was born in Hawaii. ...

This was also said about Clinton. The ascent from a home presided over by an incredibly dysfunctional pair; a drunken used car dealer and a drunken gambling addict to Georgetown U, a Rhodes Scholarship, and then Yale law is more than curious. Personal acquaintances that knew Clinton at Georgetown and when he was in Europe describe him as a clueless suck up and priapic schmooze. They are from the opposite ends of the political spectrum and were both astounded and appalled at a Prez Clinton. There is a frequently repeated suspicion that Clinton was identified by mob types with CIA connections in Hot Springs that Bill was just the sort of bright, amoral, psychologically damaged goods that should be talent spotted for future use and manipulation, and control.

CIA brought us the failure in the WH

That's depressing. I always figured Joe Junior had more discriminating taste in females than his priapic younger brother. Where did Joe Junior cross paths with that ugly troll that spawned Clintiglia?

Thank you for posting this link. Every Freeper, and I do mean everyone, should read the linked article. While it can only identify some of the people who conducted this classic Trojan horse operation it provides the best short guide to the BHO phenomenon. This fellow was packaged and marketed like one of those fake lip singing rock stars of the 50’s. As a nation we have been betrayed but then how many fools did you hear in 2008 that were going to vote for O because he was famous for being famous. The people who voted for this man bear a heavy responsibility for in effect betraying this country and what has made it exceptional and profoundly great. They needed to be reminded of what their act was as often as possible.
