I had no problem resisting him then as I have no problem resiting him now.

It could be because you were raised right.

Mom taught me about those kind of people, she even had a special name for them. "Bull shipper" . Obvious to you, me and every one I know.

Someone raised without learning that basic survival skill of discernment, "might as well have been drowned before their eyes were open", as she would say.

Mom could be harsh, but wise.

Yes, a photo of the petulant narcist psychopomp who will not abandon his ideology. A budding fascist in nationalist socialist form, who we mean to stop evolving into the worst nightmare America ever had.

You will never see me feeling sorry for him in the least.
I know what he is capable of. One look at the inter-tribal genocide he helped to cause in Kenya and you too will get that message.He means exactly the same for America.Never forget that.

If these leftist monsters believed in GOD, they would not fall prey to evildoers like obama. Their hearts yearn for GOD but their bias keeps them from HIM. Those that refuse to see are blind.

...what makes it so captivating is its element of mystery...

Yeah, a little more transparency, please.

This is one of the most delusional pieces I have ever read. It’s worth reading for that alone.

This jejune writer seems to think this story is something new, not the latest reccurance of an age old story.
A new guy, unknown but likable, comes into town during a time of trouble selling a potent that will cure all that ails the town folk. He sells himself to the gullible and they queue up for the elixir. Even before they take the first swallow they're so happy, euphoric, and relieved they make the guy Mayor. Some time later, when it's clear the magic didn't work, they wake up and realize what they have done.
Good Morning Mr. Junod.

Indeed. Just compare a speech from a truly gifted orator-say, Winston Churchill-and one from Obama. Churchill’s is full of unforgettable phrases the actual point of which can still be understood across the decades. And I understand that he wrote them himself. Who will remember a thing Obama said except “yes we can” and “I won” decades from now? If they read a speech of his, what will all the vocabulary spewing mean?

Rhetoric without substance always sounds better than reality no matter how well dressed up.

When he was running on “Hope and Change” he could engage in high minded rhetoric without any actual basis in reality. He was a Rorschach drawing that people attributed to the meaning they wanted to attribute. He was the “generic” candidate that always seems to do better in polling than when you fill in an actual name.

Now that he can no longer “vote present”, people see that the actions don't speak any louder than his words. Sound and Fury signifying nothing.

..... and who had ascended all the way to the presidency by staking his political life on his own eloquence?

Barack Obama is not "eloquent".

Obama is very good at reading the words that are written for him by speechwriters on a Tele-Prompter.

Without his TelePrompter, Obama is a deer in the head lights with Hoof-in-Mouth Disease.

Diminution? How could that pathetic socialist shrink any more - without doing us all a favor and disappearing from public life completely?

Not only that (i.e. the cost), but has any one question the goal of such trip?

In private sector, we now have to submit justification(s) for business trips/expenses. And a few of them had been deemed unneccessary so ‘net meeting’ or the like were substitute.

What is it that needs Obama’s own presence to travel to India to accomplish? Remember such luxury foreign trip had been planned by personnel way ahead of time and how much did it cost us already?

He never was Barack Obama.

Barry Dunham, Barry Soetoro, yes.

Probably others as well.

But Barack Obama? Nope. That's just his latest alias.

I only feel sorry for him inasmuch as I feel sorry for any person who chooses evil and is destined for hell.

I realize that eventually such demoniac people will get another chance at making correct choices; say in a few hundred thousand years/lifetimes.

Until then, I wouldn’t p*ss on him if he were on fire.

Even with his teleprompter, we still have the corpse-men gaffe.

Heh - he’s probably not legally Barack 0bastard now (sorry, I am technically unable to write the name otherwise). Soerbarkah or something is probably his legal name.
