So few were able to recognize what Obama really is.......some did, obviously.

My pet peeve is that “narcissism” is used as a synonym for “egomania”. The latter is how one might see someone like Trump, as indeed the expectation to personally prevail in every situation is almost a requirement for the Presidency.

I do agree that Obama fits better into the mold of narcissism. His role was largely passive, as he was a “picked man”. His ascendancy to the Presidency was really an incredible thing, but of course you will find no hint of this in press coverage at any level, since they were part of the apparatus ... in fact the mainstay of it.

Just as a footnote, I’ll comment on the enigma of “Obama at Columbia”, for which there is barely a trace. In contrast to this, if we can recall “Hillary Care”, its architect was Ira Magaziner, who was president of the class of 1969 at Brown University. ( “Nobody screws the class of ‘69” was his catch phrase. ) He went far! But not as far as the phantom, the shadow, that is Obama.

Remember all their critical concerns about Soetoro? His college records, fake BC. His foreign policy disasters? Remember how they fretted about that?

Yeah, me neither. Blow it out your obama.

The greatest threat to the United States, has turned out to be a free press that defaulted to print lies and try to turn people against their own duly elected government.

And somewhere along the line (60+ years ago?) decided to become the propaganda wing for Socialists and Communists in America and throughout the world.

Donald the Hero has been pushing back.

Yeah, has this been written about January, 2009 to January, 2017 - then it would have actually been more truthful and made some actual sense.

There has been no more damaging pResident than Obama.

Trump might be neither now, rather moving under “deep conviction.”

More fake news, this Trump-hater is just making sh*t up as if he’s with DJT all the time and knows his schedule and work habits. I’m sure he never had one critical word to say about Bath House Barry, the laziest president in modern history.

I agree that his run for the Presidency was out of conviction. I can’t see any other reason for it. So here he is! May God guide him and protect him, if I may speak sentimentally.

Go read the Bible?? I did and here’s what it said

This Biblical Passage “RINGS A BELL”

Jeremiah 20:10-13 Revised Standard Version (RSV)

10 For I hear MANY whispering. TERROR is on EVERY side! “DENOUNCE HIM! Let us DENOUNCE HIM!” say ALL my familiar FRIENDS, watching for my FALL. “Perhaps HE will be DECEIVED, then WE can OVERCOME him, and take our REVENGE on HIM.”

11 But the LORD is with ME as a dread WARRIOR; therefore my PERSECUTORS will STUMBLE, they will NOT overcome me. They will be GREATLY SHAMED, for they will NOT succeed. Their eternal DISHONOR will NEVER be forgotten.

12 O Lord of hosts, who TRIEST the RIGHTEOUS, who SEEST the heart and the mind, let me see thy vengeance UPON THEM, for to THEEE have I committed my cause.

13 SING to the LORD! Give PRAISE to the LORD! He RESCUES the life of the NEEDY from the HANDS of the WICKED.

David Rothkopf has a bad case of Trump derangement syndrome - he sounds like a raving lunatic.Then again it's nice haters like Rothkopf out themselves - - and the people they know... Everyone he's friends with in the State Department should be fired.

It’s good to know what the enemy is trying to sell to your fellow citizens.
Ignorance is not bliss in this day and age.
Don’t get trapped in the FR Bubble.
As Patton said (at least in the Movie) “I read your book”.

I’m sorry to say some of us are so narrow minded we make posts like total jackasses. Keeping tabs on the opposition press is not the same as posting bestiality. Part of political discussion is responding to left wing arguments. What else would we discuss?

For the vast majority of sites, they requested FR not post or excerpt.

There are a few that are based on negative history with FR.

I’m surprised thw WaPo doesn’t ban posting their articles to FR.
