The Obama Spell Is Broken

profound quote- thanks for sharing. Hits the “affirmative action” issue head on, I think. It was a great gamble by the guilty white liberal left and the selfish short sighted underclass, to see if America could be governed by an affirmative action POTUS.

"Turns out, the only thing special about him is his 'blackness'. "

No, no, no...don't forget his uncanny ability to turn the "negro dialect" on and off, at will...oh, and he's clean too.

Barack Obama, the One, The Messiah, has become the last Black President

Excellent article.

"Obama still holds the most powerful position in the world, and he is hell-bent on using that power to enslave us. "

If we are going to sit back and let the role of "president" morph into that of a "king"...then yes, he might enslave us.

However, this is America, and the Constitution says "We, the PEOPLE"...we are in charge. If we sit back and LET HIM take us into involuntary servitude, then shame on us.

His "power" is limited by what the PEOPLE will tolerate.

Americans - even black Americans - do not know how to NOT BE FREE. We will not take it lying down, and it will not sit well with anyone...even the liberals.

It's a nightmare, for sure, but I wouldn't cry "uncle" just yet...there are a lot of pissed off people in the country right now and the obamaTATOR knows it. He's shuckin', jivin' and weavin' right now to try to revive his healthcare bill, his cap and trade, his KSM Trials, and other stuff...that WE, THE PEOPLE have recently slam-dunked.

REMEMBER NOVEMBER...without his pelosi/reid congress, he will be neutered.

LOL - rappers’ views on politics. Very profound, I’m sure.

Fortunately I didn’t even know the grammy’s were on.

I have come to believe that nearly all blacks support socialism.

Lyndon Johnson's "Great Society" accomplished its goals.

70% illegitimate births leading to total dependence on govt welfare programs.

What a sad chapter in American history.

to this Jesus that he claimed to worship for those 21 years in Rev Wright's Black Liberation Theology cult.

Where did you hear they worshiped Jesus in that alleged church? I've seen nor heard no proof of that.

It was joined at the hip with the Nation of Islam, and a quick study of the two "churches" find they are almost identical in every core belief.

I agree! IIRC, a real journalist did some actual research and called Obama's church telling them he had just moved into the area and was looking for a church. He inquired as to their doctrine and then told them he was a muslim. They assured him he would find their church agreeable and told him MANY of their members were muslim.
Remember they also did a special ceremony to honor Farrakhan.

WOW! My mother was a "high" Leo (with perhaps a touch of the low swirled in) and my EX was a "low" Leo.

Here's an article about Toyota's fall from grace: Toyota Shows How Giants Stumble Obviously, it's about Toyota and their recent troubles, but it made me think of obama and the demonrat party and theirs:

In his 2009 book, How the Mighty Fall, business guru Jim Collins outlined five stages of decline that many big companies go through. Mostly he wrote about companies that lose their edge gradually, even imperceptibly, until thousands of tiny termite holes bring down the house.

His first stage is "hubris born of success,"
Next in the evolution of decline comes "undisciplined pursuit of more."
Collins's third stage is "denial of risk and peril," Stage four is "grasping for salvation,"
Collins's fifth stage: "capitulation to irrelevance or death."

Toyota's "buzz" score--reflecting consumers' immediate perception of the brand--have dipped to historic lows. But positive impressions of Toyota still outweigh negative ones, which means customers are likely to return if the company solves its problems once and for all--and makes amends.

"Consumers are pretty forgiving of blue-chip brands," says Ted Marzilli of BrandIndex. "Prospects are still quite good for Toyota, provided the issue is resolved quickly, there is clear communication to consumers, and there are no more issues in the near future." And humility replaces hubris.

Consumers likely will forgive Toyota, but we shall see if voters will be forgiving in 2010 and 2012. If recent elections are any indication, and obama continues his narcissistic hubris, voters won't be forgiving, but angry and vengeful. It couldn't happen to a more deserving politician.

As soon as I heard about the meet and great I knew it was a mistake for the Republicans. Don’t even try to play nice. Dominate.

The NLP techniques Obama uses can’t overcome the lack of a paycheck. ;)

Geeze...I’m sorry about the ex.

I’ve known some low Leos but was luckily never cursed by marrying one.

I did date a Leo....*once*.....;D

"Turns out, the only thing special about him is his 'blackness'."

Also his voice. Apparently, it has held people spellbound since he was in college. There was some incident where merely his voice soothed down some difficult assembly; he said nothing new but using his voice made an appeal for calm or reason.

And I'm referring to the voice he uses for white folks, not his fake nigra voice which really grates on my nerves; sometime I expect the media will stop covering for him for this matter, also.
