Ben Stein on Barack Obama : We've Figured Him Out
American Spectator ^ | 2009 | Ben Stein

Posted on 10/28/2009 12:37:12 PM PDT by SeekAndFind

Why is President Barack Obama in such a hurry to get his socialized medicine bill passed?

Because he and his cunning circle realize some basic truths:

The American people in their unimaginable kindness and trust voted for a pig in a poke in 2008. They wanted so much to believe Barack Obama was somehow better and different from other ultra-leftists that they simply took him on faith.

They ignored his anti-white writings in his books. They ignored his quiet acceptance of hysterical anti-American diatribes by his minister, Jeremiah Wright.

They ignored his refusal to explain years at a time of his life as a student. They ignored his ultra-left record as a "community organizer," Illinois state legislator, and Senator.

The American people ignored his total zero of an academic record as a student and teacher, his complete lack of scholarship when he was being touted as a scholar.

Now, the American people are starting to wake up to the truth. Barack Obama is a super likeable super leftist, not a fan of this country, way, way too cozy with the terrorist leaders in the Middle East, way beyond naïveté, all the way into active destruction of our interests and our allies and our future.

The American people have already awakened to the truth that the stimulus bill -- a great idea in theory -- was really an immense bribe to Democrat interest groups, and in no way an effort to help all Americans.

Now, Americans are waking up to the truth that ObamaCare basically means that every time you are sick or injured, you will have a clerk from the Department of Motor Vehicles telling your doctor what he can and cannot do.

The American people already know that Mr. Obama's plan to lower health costs

Gee. I figured him out from the get go. I still don’t have much empathy for those who allowed themselves to be snickered.

Mr. Obama knows Americans are getting wise and will stop him if he delays at all in taking away our freedoms.

There is his urgency and our opportunity. Once freedom is lost, America is lost. Wake up, beloved America.

Thank you for posting this. It is well-written, sobering, and so very true.

Ben Stein on Barack Obama: We've Figured Him Out

Correction: Ben Stein on Barack Obama: Ben Has Finally Figured Him Out

You can shove the "we've" s***, Ben. 59,000,000+ of us had this POS figured out a long time ago. Too bad the rest of you didn't listen.

Most of the people on FR were well aware of what Obama stood for, long before the election.

I doubt it very much. He’s a smart guy and a fiscal conservative.

Great column...how come it wasn’t posted three months ago? The column was originally posted on 7/24/09. Still timely, though.

Maybe I missed something while getting the background out... anyone have links to when he backed him?

I had no clue.

Well, good Ben.

Maybe now you can put your intellect to work figuring out your “good friend”, the angry runtish punk, Al Franken, who you supported in the Minnesota Senate race with the maximum individual contribution allowed.

or snookered either. LOL. Whatever that dang word is. I get that people in America are basically a bunch of lazy, take our country and rights for granted type people sadly. Hope many wake up.

He was on TV stating “he could not stop smiling” when Obama was elected.
