I have no respect for anyone who is “stunned” by ANYTHING Obama does.
EVERYTHING about Obama has been crystal clear for at least two years.

For those with eyes to see. As for the others, maybe now the scales will fall off their eyes.
Add me into the poor sleep since Sept. 2008 crowd. Weight gain, too. Cortisol does that, I understand.
Not true. The truth about who and what Obama is, was there for all to see if they only bothered to look. For one thing, he never held any single job for very long. For another, when he got that first book deal, he and Michelle took off for someplace in the South Pacific (place name escapes me at the moment, but think it was Bali). They spent months there while he supposedly wrote the book. His resume is littered with similar examples that pointed the way toward the presidency we see today as the "vacations" pile up one after the other.
Obama was an avowed Marxist very early in his young adulthood, perhaps even earlier.
Reading the timeline of his years in and post college, it is extremely clear someone was funding his rise, pulling strings every step of the way. The rails were greased for him long ago.
But the Right was too busy cutting its own to ribbons while chasing 1990's ghosts. They would not listen to the few voices who tried to warn them of the danger Obama posed.
I’m sure you’re right about that. No doubt Ms. Burlingame feels this with a depth we can only imagine.
How many times do these victims’ families & friends have to be publicly abused?
The truth about BHO’s past & how it defines him today is all right here. Check out the cool cover:
How would this benefit him? I mean what...martial law?
The way he’s been behaving, aren’t we virtually there alreay?
We do not know if Obama went to Pakistan, we do not know what passport he used if he did, we do not know what social security number is actually Obama's, assuming he was born in Hawaii there is conflicting documentation on what hospital he was born in, we do not know if he was granted Indonesian citizenship.
We do not know when Obama met Bill Ayers.
We don't know who paid for Obama to attend Harvard, we don't know how Obama got the job as editor of the Law Review. We don't know why Obama was given a contract for a book simply by being selected as editor of the the Law Review.
The most exhaustive work investigating Obama's past was done by Stanley Kurtz. But Kurtz was repeatedly blocked from access to what should have been public information, leaving huge black holes in Obama's past.
We knew more about Joe the Plumber's life history than Obama's. Trig Palin's origin was investigated more thoroughly than Obama's. McCain's various houses were the story, not Obama's shady deal with Rezko.
Obama was a completely obscure state senator. Think about that. How many state senators do you know in your own state? How much do you know about them? You may not even know much about the one who represents you. Obama got elected to the U.S. Senate essentially unopposed. He was not vetted by a real campaign. Before even being elected to the U.S. Senate he was canonized by the Democrats as their savior, as they put him on display at their 2004 convention. His voting present in the Illinois Senate, many absences in the U.S. Senate, and apparent lack of any friendships in either house is all we know.
Think about the stories of McCain, the fact he graduated low in his Anapolis class, his time in the Navy (and how many jets he crashed), his time in the Hanoi Hilton, his time after his return, his divorce, his new wife's empire, McCain's political career, the Keating Five, his friendship with Lindsey Graham, you name it. Think about G.W. Bush, his childhood, Andover, Yale, Harvard, his grades, the National Guard, his drinking, the Rangers, etc. We knew everything.
Al Gore, and even Bill Clinton were complete open books. We knew Gore because he grew up in the spotlight as a Senator's son. We knew Al Gore's academic record, his Harvard roomates, Love Story, etc. Despite Clinton coming from the impoverished Arkansas backwater, we knew all about Clinton's childhood. The band, his cars, Boy's Nation. Bill Clinton, Robert Reich, and Wesley Clark at Oxford all on Rhodes Scholarships. We knew about all of the bimbos in Little Rock, even before he was elected President.
When Clinton was voted out as Governor in 1980, he could be seen weekly singing in the choir of Immanuel Baptist Church in their televised service. All those videos of Reverend Wright, and nobody has scoured them to see if Obama appears in the audience.
How many times did we hear analysis about Clinton being the child of an alcoholic, or analysis of Bush's personality based on past alcohol abuse?
Obama remains an enigma to this day. If he was not such an enigma, the birthers never would have generated any interest, there would not be those speculating he is actually a Muslim, etc. Obama is still something of a blank slate. To that blank slate, some paint their hopes and dreams, others their fears. Even now, almost four year after he announced his candidacy, there is still more speculation than fact on Obama.
Is Obama a conspiracy, a Manchurian candidate controlled by someone else, like Soros? Is he a Forrest Gump, who just bumbled his way around the world and eventually to the White House? Or is he a political genius, a maneuvering Bill Clinton with similar luck and timing?
Yes. There is no other explanation for his rise from obscurity to the presidency in what -- in political terms -- was the speed of light.
Or is he a political genius, a maneuvering Bill Clinton with similar luck and timing?
No, he is no genius, political or otherwise. Somehow, relatively early in his life, he came to the attention of at least one powerful, wealthy Leftist who proceeded to grease the rails for Obama's rise. Again, there is no other explanation.
Throughout his comparatively brief career prior to running for the U.S. senate, Obama behaved in every way like someone who knew the fix was in on his behalf. He never worked hard at any job he had (and he isn't working hard at this presidency). He flitted from academia, to a law firm, to "community organizer," to the state legislature, to U.S. senator, pausing only long enough in each to grab onto the next rung up the ladder.
Along the way, he increasingly accumulated wealth, producing not one, but two scene-setting autobiographies. Amazing for a man few had ever heard of until a mere six years ago.
I don't know that one can call it a conspiracy, per se. I don't know that they did anything illegal, even. Instead, I believe one or more radical Leftists groomed Obama to be a front man so they could control the U.S. presidency for at least four years. Think of all the damage they can do. Not just the obvious damage, either. Think of all the intelligence they can gather, all the national security secrets they are discovering. Think of how easy it is for them to plant their operatives in influential spots in the vast federal bureaucracy. Think of the contracts and leases they can send their own way. Think of the regulations they can put in place to favor their own.
By electing Obama, this country has done the equivalent of electing a Soviet spy during the height of the cold war. Think of what that means.
Magellan, we can see an illustration of what happened in Obama’s case through the brilliant 1957 Andy Griffith movie, “A Face In The Crowd.” The parallels between the art of that movie, and Obama’s rise are quite clear for anyone who simply looks beyond the glossy public relations pap that is Obama’s supposed resume. All it takes is a little common sense to see the truth behind the curtain.
There was a very interesting accounting by a business man in Fresno Ca about a dinner party mid 90’s in Moscow when the host’s wife who had some status in the communist party had quite abit to say about Obama becoming our next POTUSA. This didn’t/wasn’t much of a story beyond FR but Icpied it for reference.
Marxists-communists have always taken a far, far longer view of events than people on the political Right.
