The Obama Spell Is Broken
The Wall Street Journal ^ | January 31, 2010 | FOUAD AJAMI

Posted on 02/01/2010 2:42:07 AM PST by Puzzleman

The curtain has come down on what can best be described as a brief un-American moment in our history. That moment began in the fall of 2008, with the great financial panic, and gave rise to the Barack Obama phenomenon.

--snip--

There had been that magical moment—the campaign of 2008—and the true believers want to return to it. But reality is merciless. The spell is broken.

Mr. Obama was smitten with his own specialness.

Turns out, the only thing special about him is his 'blackness'.

If you take the latest Rasmussen polls, the Kool-Aid has been redistrubuted and he has seen a bump since seeming so agreeable to work with the unagreeable, mean, do nothing Republicans who were cut out of everything and have no power to stop him anyway.

Or maybe it was his statement about ending Don’t ask, don’t tell.

Reminds me of a theory that the Russians were researching, of using a source of power that may have been extraterrestrial in origin for a nationwide mind control.

And as is often in life this very real rumor was incorporated into an Indiana Jones movie.

I don’t think Obama or his puppetmasters actually used an alien device but I do believe they took advantage of key astrological timing much the same as the Chinese forecast marriages, its a not so advertised secret that Washington DC has used astrology in many political decisions as do most tyrannical leaders of history past.

The most noted recent example was Hitler, in Obamas case its his fixation upon his natal sun sign the house of Leo, the sign of the Sun, Rome was aspected as having the aspects of that house and his wordage is “I will”.

Whithout getting into doing an astrological anylisis of Obama because his real birthplace and time is in dispute he used all the strengths of his natal sign at a time when the general part of America were easy to be oooh and awed by lofty dreams and promises.

We are now in a new period of time, its a year later and what Pied Piper tune he used back then is just an off note disjointed noise now and yes indeed the spell has broken.

Well hopefully America has rid itself of this racial absolution B.S.
This “Magic Nigro” has set back race relations in America.
I have come to beleive that nearly all blacks support socialism.

They can’t. Leftish is inherently delusional. They will simply “move on” to their next fantasy.

Perhaps ... but (God forgive me) I watched the "Grammys" last night.

At least two performers (Black-eyed Peas and most egregiously Bon Jovi) were full of 0bamorrhoid Hopey-Changey Bullcrap.

In my younger years when I did an undercover expose upon Reverend Moons Unification Church in Northern California for a San Jose newspaper I saw up front the techniques used in subtle brainwashing, if I had been in that “camp” for more than a couple of days I to would have been subjugated I think, its not easy to “de-brief” a cult follower.

Usually the most effective way at least the one I approve of is shock, not electrical shock but constant and continuous exposure to the truth.

So its my perspective that the only way to “de-brief” America is to never relent in the efforts of exposing the truth of the Obama usurpation.

We have had stylish presidents, none more so than JFK. But Kennedy was an ironist and never fell for his own mystique. Mr. Obama's self-regard comes without irony—he himself now owns up to the "remoteness and detachment" of his governing style. We don't have in this republic the technocratic model of the European states, where a bureaucratic elite disposes of public policy with scant regard for the popular will. Mr. Obama was smitten with his own specialness.

There is something intrinsically evil about anyone (man or woman) who would allow themselves to be repeatedly referred to a "The One" or "The Messiah."

God hates the prideful, but His heart is with the broken and humble. Obama (and his wife Michelle) are walking caricatures of power gone mad.

I pray that Obama's rapid fall has not even begun, and that his rock bottom has not even begun to emerge. Perhaps then, only then, would it even be possible for him to come to this Jesus that he claimed to worship for those 21 years in Rev Wright's Black Liberation Theology cult.

Do not be deceived: God cannot be mocked. A man reaps what he sows.

Obama, his enablers, his worshipers, and the media attempted to mock God.

May it be so that Obama and his henchmen realize the bitter fruit of that unwise path.

The order of events is not exactly as this author has stated. First came the attempted attack on Christmas day
Then in January the MA miracle.

I find it curious that the Senate pushes through the deathcare bill in Christmas Eve and the panty bomber is allowed to waltz aboard a jetliner to attempt a horrific terrorist attack on Christmas day. He is the held for as little as 45min to be marandized and moved beyond any meaningful questioning? Is there a tinfoil coincidence there? Imagine if that attack had been sucsessful!

At any rate the American people have been shocked out of their complacency. But!! and it is a big but! I believe the squishy middle remains malleable to the Kool-Aid pushers!!

That's right. The spell may be broken, but Obama still holds the most powerful position in the world, and he is hell-bent on using that power to enslave us.

Interesting analysis. He is definitely off note and missing his beat/stride horrifically. Normally he could hide and vote “present”. That isn't an option anymore.
