Wall Street Journal Sizes up Obama - They've Got Him Figured Out
A short article from the Wall Street Journal that needs to be read by every level
headed American!!!
A "deadly" article regarding Obama, at the Wall Street Journal, which today is the
most widely circulated newspaper in America ..
Article from the Wall Street Journal - by Eddie Sessions:
"I have this theory about Barack Obama. I think
he's led a kind of make-believe life in which money
was provided and doors were opened because at some
point early on somebody or some group took a look
at this tall, good looking, half-white, half-black,
young man with an exotic African/Muslim name and
concluded he could be guided toward a life in
politics where his facile speaking skills could
even put him in the White House.
In a very real way, he has been a young man in a
very big hurry. Who else do you know has written
two memoirs before the age of 45? "Dreams of My
Father" was published in 1995 when he was only 34
years old. The "Audacity of Hope" followed in 2006.
If, indeed, he did write them himself. There are
some who think that his mentor and friend, Bill
Ayers, a man who calls himself a "communist with a
small 'c'" was the real author.
His political skills consisted of rarely voting on
anything that might be deemed controversial. He
went from a legislator in the Illinois legislature
to the Senator from that state because he had the
good fortune of having Mayor Daley's formidable
political machine at his disposal.
He was in the U.S. Senate so briefly that his bid
for the presidency was either an act of astonishing
self-confidence or part of some greater game plan
that had been determined before he first stepped
foot in the Capital. How, many must wonder, was he
selected to be a 2004 keynote speaker at the
Democrat convention that nominated John Kerry when
virtually no one had ever even heard of him before?
He outmaneuvered Hillary Clinton in primaries. He
took Iowa by storm. A charming young man, an
anomaly in the state with a very small black
population, he oozed "cool" in a place where
agriculture was the antithesis of cool. He dazzled
the locals. And he had an army of volunteers drawn
to a charisma that hid any real substance.
And then he had the great good fortune of having
the Republicans select one of the most inept
candidates for the presidency since Bob Dole. And
then John McCain did something crazy. He picked
Sarah Palin, an unknown female governor from the
very distant state of Alaska . It was a ticket that
was reminiscent of 1984's Walter Mondale and
Geraldine Ferraro and they went down to defeat.
The mainstream political media fell in love with
him. It was a schoolgirl crush with febrile
commentators like Chris Mathews swooning then and
now over the man. The venom directed against McCain
and, in particular, Palin, was extraordinary.
Now, nearly a full 2 years into his first term, all
of those gilded years leading up to the White House
have left him unprepared to be President. Left to
his own instincts, he has a talent for saying the
wrong thing at the wrong time. It swiftly became a
joke that he could not deliver even the briefest of
statements without the ever-present Tele-Prompters.
Far worse, however, is his capacity to want to
"wish away" some terrible realities, not the least
of which is the Islamist intention to destroy
America and enslave the West. Any student of
history knows how swiftly Islam initially spread.
It knocked on the doors of Europe , having gained a
foothold in Spain .
The great crowds that greeted him at home or on his
campaign "world tour" were no substitute for having
even the slightest grasp of history and the reality
of a world filled with really bad people with
really bad intentions.
Oddly and perhaps even inevitably, his political
experience, a cakewalk, has positioned him to
destroy the Democrat Party's hold on power in
Congress because in the end it was never about the
Party. It was always about his communist ideology,
learned at an early age from family, mentors,
college professors, and extreme leftist friends and
colleagues.
Obama is a man who could deliver a snap judgment
about a Boston police officer who arrested an
"obstreperous" Harvard professor-friend, but would
warn Americans against "jumping to conclusions"
about a mass murderer at Fort Hood who shouted
"Allahu Akbar." The absurdity of that was lost on
no one. He has since compounded this by calling the
Christmas bomber "an isolated extremist" only to
have to admit a day or two later that he was part
of an al Qaeda plot.
He is a man who could strive to close down our
detention facility at Guantanamo even though those
released were known to have returned to the
battlefield against America . He could even
instruct his Attorney General to afford the
perpetrator of 9/11 a civil trial when no one else
would ever even consider such an obscenity. And he
is a man who could wait three days before having
anything to say about the perpetrator of yet
another terrorist attack on Americans and then have
to elaborate on his remarks the following day
because his first statement was so lame.
The pattern repeats itself. He either blames any
problem on the Bush administration or he naively
seeks to wish away the truth.
When anyone else would quickly and easily produce a
birth certificate, this man has spent over a
million dollars to deny access to his. Most other
documents, the paper trail we all leave in our
wake, have been sequestered from review. He has
lived a make-believe life whose true facts remain
hidden.
