A door stop? Is that liberal-speak for “the truth”? Any chance the birth certificate is hidden in there?

So, a rehash of the phony narrative?

His arrival at Occidental as an Indonesian student?

A simple graph of his gain in net worth over the last two years is all anyone needs to know.

The rest is just an attempt to create a legacy for his wasted time as Resident.

WE have the cowards in Congress to thank for this Clown of a President.

It would be nice to see a written review that doesn’t take half an hour to watch.

From the to Amazon review:

“Obama’s supposed autobiographies have been pretty well debunked as “historical fiction.” They were not concerned with facts. Garrow’s book is an antidote to the pretty fictional accounts Obama has used to his advantage, and Garrow has made every effort to nail down as many facts as possible. He not only has the facts, he interviews the participants, seeks out multiple sources, and even checks the newspapers of the day when necessary. This makes for a lot of verification of even the most insignificant details. But then again, we now have the details of Obama’s life, maybe more than we may have wanted. Garrow does not provide analysis. He is concerned with the facts and only the facts as he’s been able to verify them. But Barack’s has been an unusual life, and so maybe the details count.”

Some people aren’t fans of text, but I can sympathize. I’m a huge admirer of the late Neil Postman, and feel a lot was lost when we moved from a linear, text-based civilization.

As for his review of the biography by David Garrow, he would do well to blow his nose and focus. Unwatchable. Life’s too short...

Have you got a link to it on Amazon? I can't find the book...

No Biography of the Magic Negro is complete without reference to the true history of the Obama body politic:

With all due respect, who is G. Perry and why should I care?

I explore this in the video, but it's typical of the press corps, which basically served as court stenographers for the Obama presidency.

David Garrow is a liberal supporter of Obama, yet he was savaged for writing a meticulously researched-over 2 hundred pages of footnotes-accurate and fair biography of the man.
