Writing to a former girlfriend, Maraniss says, Obama also "expressed a distaste for the corporate world." And in his engaging but unreliable memoir "Dreams from My Father," Obama described his time at Business International this way: "Like a spy behind enemy lines, I arrived every day at my mid-Manhattan office. ..." Obama wrote that he took the job only after his applications to several civil rights organizations were ignored.
Yet as Obama told it in "Dreams from My Father," he sometimes felt tempted to sell out during his time at Business International. After getting a promotion, Obama wrote, "I had my own office, my own secretary, money in the bank. Sometimes, coming out of an interview with Japanese financiers or German bond traders, I would catch my reflection in the elevator doors -- see myself in a suit and tie, a briefcase in hand -- and for a split second I would imagine myself as a captain of industry, barking out orders, closing the deal, before I remembered who it was that I had told myself I wanted to be and felt pangs of guilt for my lack of resolve."
Maraniss discovered most of that wasn't true; while Obama did have a tiny office, he didn't have his own secretary, didn't meet with financiers and bond traders, didn't even wear a suit to work. But the one true thing in that passage is Obama's antipathy for the business world.

Speaker Boehner: Obama has 'never even had a real job, for God's sake' Dear Speaker Boehner....now that you have distilled such an excellent statement....and have it well memorized without using a teleprompter....
my I suggest that you replace ' a real job" by the following...as appropriate...
1. a birth certificate
2. a valid social security number
3. a security clearance
4. a current law licence
5. an understanding of basic economics
6 how the American Society works
....etc....

But not just Texas. One state you can chalk up as a fluke. They’ve had to sit and watch as one state after another voted out their entrenched RINO establishment elites. And it’s been accomplished not only without their help but DESPITE their interference.
The penny has finally dropped. It isn’t a fluke.

Boehner.............3 1/2 years late, and a dollar few trillion short. Are we sure this is not satire?
Sorry John. It is way too late. You need to go too!

Do NOT mess with the Tea Party! . . You've gotta love this momentum.So true. I hope it keeps building and reaches the peak on November 6th! The American people are finally starting to wake up. Keep sending those emails and articles to folks you know. Education is the key.
Go for it!

Loserville. This is a guy that if he were on my boat in the USN, we’d have thrown him over the side at about 0300 and maybe 800 miles from shore - just for laughs
