Answer: a media illusion although she appeared very real.

Who is Obama?

Answer: a media illusion that appeared to be real. For a while.

Must read.

It's so sad we've gotten to this point, such that mainstream media has sold out so blatantly. There will be a price to pay by those who've been deceiving and covering for him.

Why is a question that I can't answer. Perhaps, mainstream media is trying to prove to themselves that they still matter.

Not to brag, but haven’t we here known all this from the very beginning? And yet, the Leftist media succeeded in shouting down anyone who’d question their orthodoxy, who’d question this fairy tale without substance. Others, like Peggy Noone of the WSJ, but not only she, many other conservatives who should have shouted this truth from the rooftops allowed themselves to be intimidated and fell comfortably into the Stockholm syndrome or respect and deference to the guy who deserved neither. Shame on this country to elect such an obvious Maowannabe!

Yes, we've known. When reading the article and your response I flash on Joe Scarborough types. How in hell can he allow this political corruption and malfeasance to occur without blowing his top on a daily basis.

It boggles

The fact that the country is so evenly divided and that our choices are so similar shows the degree to which our culture, and therefore our country, has collapsed. Look at we conservatives on this site...we’ll look at a Romney victory as a battle won. That’s how low we have sunk.

Exactly, Obama is less a man than make-believe

He may be affirmative action but Obama is repentance on White America’s part for the nation’s past sins.

He is a Christ-like figure and people still have warm feelings for him. No one wants to admit they’ll vote against our first black President.

Its not about partisan affiliation or political ideology. Obama has become an American Myth.

Well done. Amazing that the media is willing to go down with him.

I wonder: if Obama had succeeded in fully destroying America with whatever. Just what place does the media & hollyweirdo's think (oops) they will have, there would only be so many TOP Positions in his new world order.

Do they all think (oops again)they will have one of those TOP SPOTS? How ignorant can they be? That would be the time he would just have to destroy them as well, useful idiots no longer need apply.

The Obama that many fools will still vote for is a media construct - there is no such person. The real Obama revealed his lack of any presidential qualifications Wednesday - he is basically an actor pretending to be who the media paints him as. Don’t know how he lives with himself, and don’t know how any person with more than 2 brain cells to rub together could vote for him

Klavan is blind.. Obama took a dive on PURPOSE..
to give Romney face saving grace when he is obliterated in the next two debates..
(closer to the election)..

When re-elected he will probably give Romney a post on an Obama-care commission to fix Obama-care somewhat..
Obama is crazy but he is NOT stupid..

Boehner has been financing Obama for two years.. ON PURPOSE..
The first two years the democrats owned the House..

Obama lost the first debate ON PURPOSE... brilliant really..
Romney will get thrashed next time.. and the next..
This is like a B-movie with an obvious plot..

The only question is, did Romney know this in advance..
Was be complicit in the drama?.. I think he was..and is..
Juan McLaim took a “DIVE” way too easily..

Romney noticed and opted for much more drama and intrigue..
Republicans still have their eyes rolling.. with a drool..
Pity..

My wife thought Øbama took a dive on purpose too. She’s brilliant. She drinks her coffee from a Ronald Reagan mug.

Of course he’s not. How can he even dare to claim he is ?

He cast a couple of conservative votes in ‘01 or some such.
He lives for Mika’s approval. PW and not even married
