Is There An Imposter In The White House? An Excerpt from "Hope Is Not A Strategy"
Forbes ^ | 3-24-12 | John Mariotti

Posted on 03/25/2012 1:43:12 PM PDT by afraidfortherepublic

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?

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 www.amazon.com in paperback and Kindle versions. Other in e-book versions are available at www.smashwords.com.

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.

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

Seems more like 1914 - 1918 with us stuck in defensive trenches and the Germans pouring mustard gas on us.

Re your post #5, it is becoming apparent that there is no forthcoming correction of the American electorate at this point. Let’s face it: the liberals with their control of the educational system have won. They have truly dumbed down the American people, sufficiently so that they will continue to win crucial elections.

I think that you can draw your own conclusions from this.

There is history in google, and even a search on Forbes comes up with the link. But the story has been pulled. Clicking on the author at Forbes does not include the link to this story.

It’s gone.

Spot on OldPossum!

I AGREE WITH THAT

America is on the verge of destruction. There is no insanity greater than electing a pathological narcissist as president.

OBAMA OR AMERICA, YOU CAN'T HAVE BOTH!!!! PASS IT ON.

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:

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?

I remember all the books on BO’s “leadership” that started infesting bookstores shortly after he was “elected.” :/

It's not. The link that you posted is to a 10 March story, and the one that has (been) disappeared is from 24 March.

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.

"Nut-job Conspiracy Theory Ping!"

Thank you for the ping. I found the link broken also, and got the same error when I searched the site for the article, though the (useless) link was discoverable for the time being.
