I fault Obama big time for going for POTUS! He’s lied through his teeth every inch of the way. He lied to get in, he’s lied about his objectives, he’s lied about himself, in fact the question is - what hasn’t he lied about? The list would be very small. Being a compulsive liar is apparently no big deal to him - maybe because of his Muslim background he thinks it’s a badge of honor.

The other problem is the whole time he’s been lying he’s been thinking to himself how brilliant he is and how dumb the rest of us are. And to a certain extent, since he’s the one riding around on AF1, I have to agree with him - at least concerning the majority of the populace. The dumb $hits thought they were electing an American Idol messiah who would solve all problems.

Unfortunately one can make the argument that the country as a whole got what it deserved. A total disaster that if we’re lucky will also be a wake-up call. We will find out in November which it is.

I also remember Sarah saying that the Presidency isn’t a journey of personal discovery.

Our best candidate of all - which of course is why the bastards trashed her.

It seemed more like a well funded, planned coordinated attack to put an agenda in our government. From Acorn fraud, MSM propaganda, journolist, to the Obama narrative books and last minute change in his fund raising.

Breitbart alluded to how they plotted as everyone else lived their life..the complicated healthcare bill and stimulus were already written and waiting for Obama. They put the death panel in the stimulus and forced it through with no scrutiny. Kagan, Sotomayor will help fight to keep it in place.

The Czars helped bypass congress and us.

...the phoney anti-war movement was also part of the strategy to usher in Obama. The Soros front groups, MSM and Obama, all anti-American out to transform her.

Videotape of Obama speaking at 2008 California Arab dinner:

I would like to see that videotape of candidate Obama speaking before an Arab/Palestinian dinner in California in 2008, because there are rumors that candidate Obama said some things that would have upset Jewish Americans and Israel itself.

1. If you remember, in 2008 the LA TIMES was given a copy to look at, but the owner told LA TIMES that it could not release it to the public.

2. I believe that the LA TIMES has never released the videotape.

3. LA TIMES' excuse was something like this: It did NOT want to influence the election process in a bad way, whatever that meant.

4. I believe that the LA TIMES was morally wrong to promise the owner that it would not release the videotape after it looked at it.

5. As an American newspaper existing under the law of a free press, it had no right to make such a promise to the owner. It should have told the owner that it could NOT make such a promise. Sorry.

6. For instance, what if the videotape showed Obama to be a great person who praised Jewish Americans and Israel and loved everybody?

7. In that situation, I bet the LA TIMES would have quickly released the tape.

8. And I'm sure that candidate Obama and his staff would have been the first ones to beg LA TIMES to release the videotape, if candidate Obama felt that the videotape would help him gain votes in the Jewish community.

9. Watergate Scandal: And what about the Watergate Scandal that the Washington Post wrote about many years ago during President Nixon's shortened second term administration?

10. Can you imagine the terrible damage to the American people and to world history if the officials at the Washington Post had decided that the story was too hot to release to the public and they did not print it, because they feared that the information would do emotional damage to Americans and to President Nixon and his presidency?

11. I shiver to think what would have happened to this great country if the Washington Post did not have the courage to write about Nixon's Watergate scandal, an incident that turned into much more than just a "third-rate burglary."

12. If LA TIMES would have released the videotape if it was kind to candidate Obama, then it had a journalistic duty to release the videotape if it was NOT kind to candidate Obama.

13. My point is this: It is not LA TIMES' place to tell us what we can read or not read when it comes to what politicians---like presidential candidates---do or not do during their political campaigns.

14. What right does the LA TIMES have to tell us what is good or not good for us? How arrogant is that? What about "truth"? Shouldn't LA TIMES be more concerned about printing the truth about Obama than worrying about whether or not Obama's political future would be hurt by the release of the videotape?

15. If the videotape puts Obama in an embarrassing situation with Jewish Americans and Israel, then so be it.

16. So I say it is time for voters to start putting tremendous pressure on LA TIMES to release the 2008 videotape of Obama,and let us voters decide for ourselves whether or not the information on the videotape is good or bad for Obama.

17. LA TIMES should stay out of the censorship business and do its duty: Release the videotape and let the chips fall where they may. .

May I politely disagree that the “present” and his advisers are in over their heads?

My belief is that BHO, his cabinet and his czars know EXACTLY what they are doing. They are working to ‘fundamentally transform’ this country into THEIR view of what the USA should be, a fully socialist country.

I also believe that the Congress (both parties) and the SCOTUS are afraid, for whatever reasons, to declare him a fraud, impostor and domestic enemy. By his own admission, he is not a natural born citizen, i.e., a child with BOTH parents US citizens.

I fear for this country and the future of our grandchildren. They will not know our history and greatness.

Everyday I "hope" that I can find or borrow a little "change" to buy a little gas to help me make it through the day as I drive around running some errands.

So anyway, Forbes sent this article down the memory hole. Did anyone save a copy?
