BUMP for AM read
The average person saw a young guy that was handsome, wore pretty suits, had big white teeth, was tall and thin, walked with a swagger and looked cool when under pressure. To bad that what he was saying was really scary stuff even during his campaigning. But who was listening? The “masses” (as he sees them) were more involved with his cool logo (The first President that branded his political campaign like McDonald's golden arches).
Americans were being greedy and selfish, they were to busy counting all the things they will get for free if he gets elected, like college, health care, etc...... You had overt racism with over 90% of the black vote going to him and many other “self perceived” minorities and underdogs following suit. The yuppy kids thought they are making a statement, being smart and cool voting for him. Most women simply found him attractive and cute. The gays supported him because he promised them everything too, as he did the environmentalists. He promised the old more, as he did those with AIDS but in the end of the day who was thinking what's best for America? What's fair, what's Constitutional, what's right and realistic? In a way, someone like Obama could only rise to power because of the ignorance, selfishness and greed of the many.
We got what we deserve. As your taxes go up, as your health savings account becomes worthless and health care costs will rise 9% in a recession with near flat inflation, remember that we're only getting what we wanted, what we voted for. The Germans voted for Hitler, and in Venezuela they elected Chavez........ Maybe the socialist is right when they think of the electorate in their condescending way, referring to them as the “masses.” Maybe Nietzsche was right when he referred to people and their behavior as the “herd.”

Neal Boortz is discussing this article on his radio program right now.

Great article, but it brings us no closer to getting Obama on with the fact that he is supposed to be working in the interest of the United States, which he has NEVER done.

The White House is scared to death of this one. Gibbs is already out there bashing Newt over his “Kenyan, anti-colonial” comment and Morning Joe spent a whole segment bashing him.
The White House is in overdrive to suppress this one. I am sure most conservatives are reading this article this morning through email and other means.
I am sure Rush will be talking about it today.
The LA Times reports Bill Clinton saying something similar today:
"They [teapartiers] think the little guy gets the shaft, and that's largely been true. But they are pawns in a larger game," he said. "[The Boston tea party] was a protest against abuse of government power. The people that are funding this tea party are trying to weaken the government at a moment where people are queasy about the government because there was nobody else to step in when the economy was flat, so they can have unaccountable private power."
Interesting that Clinton is lately thinking as an anti-colonialist too.
