According to Steyn, author of “After America: Get Ready for Armageddon,” there’s some truth in all of them.
“I kind of try to wrestle with that in the book and I think there’s elements of truth in all four of them,” Steyn said. “In a way Dinesh D’Souza’s, which his movie is very — I find it in some ways the least compelling because as I say in the book, he reminds me less of a chippy anti-colonialist. And in fact, when you see him acting as president, he reminds me more of these occasional viceroys you find in dusty British colonies, slumming it on the edge of the map and giving the impression they’re far too grand for the job.”
“He’s the first president who gives off the whiff he’s just doing it until something more commensurate with his talents comes along,” Steyn continued. “So I have a slightly different view from Dinesh D’Souza. But what I think is at the heart of it is he is all too typical of a kind of complacent pampered and cosseted elite of no achievement.”

Obama’s ambition

Steyn noted Obama’s education, but prior to hitting the big time in Democratic politics, he had little too show for it.
Obama’s only achievement is massive debt and unemployment and the libs want him for a second term,kiss logic good ny.
I concluded some time ago that both Obama and Michelle “decided” not to go into high impact law because they had neither the intellectual chops nor the work ethic.
Couldn’t cut it so they told themselves they were doing something “better” and after all, the payout has been better and the hours much shorter.
“I concluded some time ago that both Obama and Michelle “decided” not to go into high impact law because they had neither the intellectual chops nor the work ethic.”
Bingo.....Affirmative Action preferences have a way of coming around to bite the recipients, and with these two charlatans, the USA.

...if you’ve ever been on an American college campus and just tried to plant a new thought in this sort of indestructible faculty-lounge group think, you’ll be very familiar with the way Obama approaches these things.
You have to laugh to keep from crying.
Nail, meet hammer.
I don’t know the exact number of liberal/leftist college professors extant in the U.S., but I’ve known my share. I’d say their view of the U.S. closely mirrors Obama’s. Steyn is correct when he says Obama is the hero of the faculty departments in many universities. They all had a smug, leftist view of how to fix things just like Obama. Smug and ignorant is a good way to describe these people.
and he lies. loooks you straight in the eye and lies.
Steyn rules!
I neglected to mention Horowitz’s Shadow Party. Radical-In-Chief and Shadow Party tell us most of what we need to know, in my opinion.
Obummer was born with a silver koran in his mouth.
A rare case of Steyn being off base for thinking that being elitist and anti-colonialist are somehow mutually exclusive.
After all Odumbo’s mentor Edward Said, was a self-avowed anti-colonialist elitist.
As George Orwell implied, some pigs are always going to be more equal than the others and Odumbo feels he belongs among the entitled pigs. A lesser man might find that believe to cause some cognitive dissonance with his anti-colonialist beliefs, but Odumbo is a better man and rises above those lesser thoughts. /sarc
