FTA: After the first three plus years of the presidency, it is painfully clear that Barack Obama was a “pretty face,” and “glib speaker” and a lightweight liberal politician with a community organizer/radical background. The American people should be outraged at this man’s behavior and even his candidacy. Why are they not? Because of the misinformation delivered by sympathetic liberal/mainstream media who loves his nonsensical form of governing.

No matter how many times President Obama refers to the “problems he inherited,”

I first hear this from Mark Simone (radio): it's like the comedian who really feeeeeels that the booing he got all through his performance was the fault of the act that preceded him.. that act was so bad.

Quote of the Century

“The danger to America is not Barack Obama but a citizenry capable of entrusting an inexperienced man like him with the Presidency.

It will be far easier to limit and undo the follies of an Obama presidency than to restore the necessary common sense and good judgment to a depraved electorate willing to have such a man for their President. The problem is much deeper and far more serious than Mr. Obama, who is a mere symptom of what ails America. Blaming the prince of the fools should not blind anyone to the vast confederacy of fools that made him their prince.

The Republic can survive a Barack Obama. It is less likely to survive a multitude of idiots such as those who made him their President.”

The only “hope” I have is that somehow 20-30% of minorities finally realize what the hypocritical liberals are doing to them. For three generations the liberals have herded minorities into dysfunctional urban schools where they are kept ignorant, isolated and docile. Of course urban liberals like Obama and Rahm Emmanuel “choose” private schools for their kids. The liberals fund and place Planned Parenthood Clinics in urban neighborhoods to actually kill them and keep their numbers down. They buy off stooges like Jackson and Sharpton to be frontmen. Until then this country will remain in trouble.

Mr. Mariotti, you say “Maybe the “birthers” were a little extreme,”” but then you proceed on to quote chapter and verse from all the arguments raised about this impostor over the last four years. Perhaps you don’t want to be seen in the company of those “kooks” (as I’m sure you would refer to them), but I’m glad you are now paying attention. If only more people had their eyes opened to the dark forces amassed against our nation.

Maybe we have to move slowly but, after 4 years of knowing who and what BHO is and how much of his past he has hidden or obfuscated, we keep coming to the same point in the discussion.

The evidence is growing that BHO IS an imposter, a fraud and a phoney, but it’s like being stuck on the 20 yard line in a football game and we just can’t seem to move the ball those last 20 yards.

Worse, at the pace the information is being revealed, what happens if BHO manages to get a second term? Will it take until AFTER his second term is over before SOMEONE manages to bring this case into a court and prove that BHO is the biggest fraud, liar and deceiver ever to walk the face of the earth?? The damage will be so bad that it likely won’t matter. There is NO WAY we will be able to go back and reverse what he has done!

So, while it is interesting that more people seem to be discovering the depth of Obama’s deception, no one seems to be able to DO anything. Not even Sheriff Joe!!

In the meantime, the clock is ticking down and America has precious few minutes left before we will be able to snatch victory from the jaws of defeat!

The Manchurian candidate is a partially true but suspiciously romanticized version of this.

THe TRUTH, imo, and I am a TRUTHER In that respect, is the illegal immigration from/through the EU to Great Britain.

The single currency is a failure in the EU, but the British pound remains strong. SO what does the third world mentality of GAllic France=German axis paganistics do? They do an economic warfare redo of WWII, but this time WITH ILLEGAL IMMIGRANTS.

OBAMA, IMO, IS A PRODUCT OF THE FRANKFURT SCHOOL’s secret MO, which is throw illegals at AMerica to rule AMerica. Manufacture idiot socialists, demoralize them, throw them in US universities, along with a click of third world idiots alongside them.

Obama is a British third world influenced citizen of Fabian training/corruption, Frankfurt school demoralized, and French annointed method of control of the third world (much like African leaders formed in France are dumned down so France can keep control of its former colonies).

This, imo, is the real issue of birth behind all this. They manufacture garbage abroad and they throw it here to make impostors and trouble here, taking advantage of our liberal laws.

Obama is a product of this German-French axis economic warfare on the English world, imo, via illegal immigration and imposture. This is to punish England for keeping the British pound and not putting its eggs in the horror of the EU and world currencies.

Yeah, the article seems to have been scrubbed from Forbes.

I found the first paragraph at another site, but the link does the same thing:

There is something very wrong when the sitting president refuses to divulge huge pieces of information about his background. What is he hiding? Maybe the “birthers” were a little extreme, but is there something wrong with this “manufactured candidate,” whose history remains sealed from public view? What is he hiding? NOW FORTUNE HAS PUBLISHED THIS PERHAPS THE LAME STREAM MEDIA WILL OPEN IT’S EYES
http://www.forbes.com/sites/prospernow/2012/03/24/is-there-an-imposter-in-the-white-house-an-excerpt-from-hope-is-not-a-strategy/

Could the “Hawaii birth certificate” be a forgery? Is there something much worse—like “sponsorship” by an unnamed special interest? I don’t know. I do know that the man in the White House now is an imposter. The only question is which kind of an imposter: an incompetent “pretender” or a genuine phony, a “Manchurian candidate,” who is a liberal, ½ black and ½ white, and an obvious Muslim sympathizer (despite claims of being a Christian—in clear conflict with his non-Christian behavior).

Will this campaign expose him as the imposter, and the pretender his behavior has revealed? Will it expose his hidden history and murky background. We know about his failures and mistakes.

For those who don’t, here is another in this series of revealing excerpts from HOPE IS NOT A STRATEGY: Leadership Lessons from the Obama Presidency. The book is now available on amazon.com in paperback and Kindle versions. Other in e-book versions are available at smashwords.com.

Excerpt from the chapter: Beware the Pretender:
…”No matter how many times President Obama refers to the “problems he inherited,” he has now been in office three years. Certainly many of the current problems can be traced back to events that happened during the eight years that Bush held the top office, and some can be traced back to even earlier presidencies—but far from all of them.
Many of the problems are newly created (or made worse), and Barack Obama owns them. Candidate Obama stepped up and essentially said, “I want the job, and everything that comes with it” by running for president. After three years in office, the problems now belong to him and his presidency. He caused them, made them worse, or didn’t solve them. Either way, they are his now.
…In leadership, you cannot “pretend” to be a leader. You either are—or you aren’t—a leader. One or the other will become apparent very quickly.
If you want the leadership job, you must step up and take full ownership of it. A “pretender” or “poser” is like an actor who has learned all the right lines, but has no idea what they mean. Once the script has been followed (or deviated from), the actor is clueless about what to do next. This is the job of the leader. Unfortunately, in this government, the “directors” often seem clueless, having learned in academia where results and wins/losses are theoretical, or in politics where success (at getting elected) is more a matter of rhetoric than results.
If you are not ready for a position, or do not believe that you have what it takes to rise to the challenge (or clean up the mess even if you believe it is not your mess), then do not take the job. This was Barack Obama’s fundamental mistake. He grossly underestimated the difficulty of the position he was running for, and overestimated his preparedness to actually do the job. Just because he could “talk a good game” (thanks to a phalanx of speech writers and the omnipresent teleprompters) does not mean he actually knew what to do or how to do it. The presidency of the United States of America is not a place for heavy OJT (On-the Job-Training)….”

After the first three plus years of the presidency, it is painfully clear that Barack Obama was a “pretty face,” and “glib speaker” and a lightweight liberal politician with a community organizer/radical background. The American people should be outraged at this man’s behavior and even his candidacy. Why are they not? Because of the misinformation delivered by sympathetic liberal/mainstream media who loves his nonsensical form of governing.

…”Obama’s perceived preparedness for the presidency is a terrible delusion, from which it is difficult to escape. Mistakes build upon each other and result in even more complex problems. Difficult problems that are mishandled become even more difficult to fix. When you have too little experience, lack substance (other than the words of your latest speech), then leading, managing and problem solving simply don’t happen. And that is what has occurred. When you compound the problem by surrounding your self with like-minded theorists, lacking in real-world experience, things become worse yet. The theoretical solutions to problems often don’t work due to the messiness of the real world—and the reasons are almost unfathomable to these rookie executive/politicians. …”

What should Americans think about this “imposter?” Will he divulge his true background so we can all see who he is and where he came from—really? If not, is this just a man who should never have been sworn into the office of President in the first place, and who has crippled Americans miserably during his term?

Will we continue to believe his misstatements (the politically correct term for lies)? Can he simply use the media to “erase and forget the past three years of misery and missteps?” Or will we learn from his imperialistic behavior and terrible results and throw him out in November?

That is what why we wrote HOPE IS NOT A STRATEGY: Leadership Lessons from the Obama Presidency. To learn more go to: hopeisnotastrategybook.com and sign up—and go to amazon.com and buy the book—and see for yourself! There are thirty chapters that reveal what was behind Barack Obama’s mistakes, failures and lack of leadership.

John Mariotti is an internationally known executive and an award-winning author. His newest book, co-authored with D. M. Lukas, Hope is NOT a Strategy: Leadership Lessons from the Obama Presidency is at amazon.com, and other leading on-line booksellers.

Mariotti’s 2008 book, The Complexity Crisis was named one of 2008’s Best Business Books. His critically acclaimed 2010 novel, The Chinese Conspiracy, merges an exciting fictional thriller with the reality of America’s risk from Cyber-Attacks. Mariotti does keynote speeches, serves on corporate boards and is a consultant/advisor to companies. He can be reached at mariotti.net .

I do know that the man in the White House now is an imposter.

You mean he's not the guy who was born a moslem, whose father was a Communist, whose mother was a Communist, whose stepfather was a Communist, who grew up in Indonesia (not the USA) and who was further raised by his grandparents who were Communists, who grew up mentored by Frank Marshall Davis, and who went to college somehow for free, and who grew up in to be a college professor who taught Communism, and who hung out with terrorists such as Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn, and who went to Jeremiah Wright's hate-whitey Communist "church" for 2o years and never heard a single "GD America", who is a high falutin Constitutional expert lawyer, but got kicked out of the Bar....that guy?

Well then who the hell is he, and how could it be worse?

Clinton and Carter did the same thing.

Remember when Carter supporters were claiming that he had a physics degree? Turned out he took a class in nuclear power plants.

Dictator Baby-Doc Barack has ALWAYS ignored The US Constitution, ESPECIALLY with Obama”care.”

The cancer of Obama”care” now extends to Obama last week choosing a “Public health expert” for the World Bank Presidency.
_______

The major problem with THE NINE SUPREMES is that they are chosen for political reasons by the POTUS, and then they vote as an un-accountable democracy, for a Nation that is NOT a Democracy, but a REPUBLIC.

As a result, THE NINE SUPREMES commonly vote 5 to 4 on most issues. Constitutionality is seldom a consideration, and their up-coming ruling on Obama”care” will prove my point.

Now is the time to stand and deliver to address our grievances to the dictates of the Left.

Oppose the dictates of Dictator Baby-Doc Barack!

Our ONLY chance to ABOLISH Obama”care” rests with THE NINE SUPREMES, because Romney will be defeated by Obama.

IMHO, if Romney is anointed as the RNC Nominee, THE main issue in the National Election, Obama”care,” will be taken off the campaign table. Hence, Romney will not only lose, but suffer another crushing, and sadly typical, RINO defeat.

To those who want poster ideas, here are a few ideas for demonstration posters:

Obama”care” was robo-signed by Congress, and is therefore illegal.

Obama”care” was 2700 pages long, and is still being written, but not by Congress: witness the forced contraception coverage recently added by HHS Regulators.

Obama”care” has caused “The Catholic Spring.”

Obama”care” reduces competition, and therefore is illegal by the 1890 Sherman Anti-Trust Law.

Obama”care” is designed to be a US Federal Government monopoly, with no competition.

Obama”care” also is illegal according to the US Constitution, because it violates our freedom of choice.

Will THE NINE SUPREMES notice any of these three violations? I seriously doubt it.

Impeached Bill Clinton proved that the US President is above US Federal Law, so anything that the President wants he gets, regardless of the Federal Laws that he has violated.

I have a feeling that the “cone of silence” surrounding Obama is about to have a visit by the opera singer that will hit the high notes that will shatter it.
Especially if the SCOTUS allows obamacare to succeed.

“Is There an Imposter in the White House?”

And a similarly deep and perlexing question: is there a Catholic in the Popemobile?

Not sure why State legislatures continue their Federal remittances to an illegitimate government at this point.
