Could Obama be more out of touch with our national values??

Holder Melts Down

Morning Jolt
. . . with Jim Geraghty    May 16, 2013

"Can anyone, with a straight face, argue that Eric Holder should remain as attorney general, and the country can have faith in his abilities and judgment in the coming months and years? I mean, apparently he doesn't even write things down anymore:

Lawmakers skewered Attorney General Eric Holder yesterday over the Justice Department's sweeping effort to snoop on Associated Press reporters and editors -- while the embattled Cabinet secretary kicked responsibility down the chain of command.

Holder was in the hot seat for hours of testimony before the House Judiciary Committee just days after the scandal broke, telling lawmakers that his deputy, James Cole, was the one who authorized the sweeping subpoena that caused an uproar in both parties.

"It's an ongoing matter and an ongoing matter in which I know nothing," Holder said.

Holder says he recused himself from the matter completely -- but in an embarrassing admission, he said he hasn't found a written record of that action.

Dana Milbank rips Holder to shreds:

As the nation's top law enforcement official, Eric Holder is privy to all kinds of sensitive information. But he seems to be proud of how little he knows.

Why didn't his Justice Department inform the Associated Press, as the law requires, before pawing through reporters' phone records?

"I do not know," the attorney general told the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday afternoon, "why that was or was not done. I simply don't have a factual basis to answer that question."

Why didn't the DOJ seek the AP's cooperation, as the law also requires, before issuing subpoenas?

"I don't know what happened there," Holder replied. "I was recused from the case."

Why, asked the committee's chairman, Rep. Bob Goodlatte (R-Va.), was the whole matter handled in a manner that appears "contrary to the law and standard procedure"?

"I don't have a factual basis to answer the questions that you have asked, because I was recused," the attorney general said.

On and on Holder went: "I don't know. I don't know. . . . I would not want to reveal what I know. . . . I don't know why that didn't happen. . . . I know nothing, so I'm not in a position really to answer."

What do you know that Eric Holder doesn't know? A lot, apparently.

It was bound to happen. It had to happen.

It would be interesting to be able to have a trustworthy survey/poll that could give us some idea of how many Obama voters are taking a deep breath, slapping their foreheads and wondering why in the hell they every pulled that lever to elect such a disaster to lead our nation.  "What was I thinking?"

The challenge in getting the Democrat voter to reconsider a past dumb act is the human trait to forget or ignore past unpleasant experiences. 

There were several sectors of the voting public that banded together to enable the phantom from Chicago to slip into the presidency.  You had the Hispanic sector who wanted someone who promised amnesty as well as a greased rail ride for all legalized illegals relative from south of the border.  You had the black voters who would have voted for Obama even if he had just been released from prison for embezzlement, child rape  and window peeping.  Also in the conglomeration were all unionists who were promised government sympathys
 and favors in return for votes and multiple millions of dollars in political donations.  Not to be let out of the mix, of course, was virtually every government employee in the nation who loved the thought of having a president that deeply believed in BIG and bigger government, whether federeal, state, county or city!
Now, pour in just about any kind of group that wants more "free shit"....and THAT takes in a really big chunk of voters:  Food Stamps with its 47-million users, extended unemployment users, Medicaid patients, Enviromentalist and the entire granola-ites who thought Hope and Change was too good to pass up.

None of the above voting blocks ever bothered to check the pedigree, past performance, ideological foundation or past experience of the man in front of the teleprompter. Nor were the astute enough to smell the strong scent of Bullshit.

What horrible price we have paid for the inattentive voter.  A backwards glance of what has been wrought would gag a maggot.  We have a big government that has seized control of 17% of our entire economy with ObamaCare.  A nationalized heathcare system that has wrecked the free enterprise aspect, grossly increased health costs, made hundreds of doctors, retire or cease taking Medicare or Medicade patients and now your treatments and care will be dictated by panels of government bureaucrats.  The "promise" of Obama that you can "...keep your present health insurance." has turned out to be just another facet of the Obama Bullshit bulleting board.

Even more critical than the healthcare wreck is our hell bent dash for national bankruptcy.  Our current course Obama has charted for us ...virtually guarantees it! 

We have paid a price with stalled employment.  One , just one example is Obama's pandering to environmentalist donations by stalling the Keystone Pipeline, for years now, and a project that would employ thousands, make us oil independent, make us an oil exporter...and our president is still blocking it.

We are suffering from "Trickle Down" lack of character and competance.  All of the current scandals and bad behavior of government is because the fabric of our government is effected daily by having a power mad, closet Socialist leading our nation.  He is an aloof elitest and has surrounded himself with a circle of Xerox copies of himself.....containing the same strata of character flaws.

There is a very good article today by Michael Goodwin of the NY Post that gathers in one place the dilema we are facing.

"The Obama administration is both corrupt and incompetent. It is a double whammy that spells trouble for the nation, at home and abroad.


The corruption is not like that in Albany, where officials stuff their pockets with taxpayer cash. The corruption in Obama-Land is the selective use of government power to reward friends and punish opponents. Or, as the president calls them, enemies."

The greatest nation on earth

THE greatest nation on earth——cannot keep conducting its business by drifting from one manufactured crisis to the next. We can’t do it,” fulminated Barack Obama last month. The crisis of the moment, the “sequester” (a package of budget cuts designed to be so ghastly that Congress would pass a better version), duly came into effect on March 1st. Unless Congress agrees on an extension to its budget, the government will start to shut down on March 28th. In

May the greatest nation will hit its debt ceiling; unless it is raised, Uncle Sam will soon start defaulting on his bills.
This is the America that China’s leaders laugh at, and the rest of the democratic world despairs of. Its debt is rising, its population is ageing in a budget-threatening way, its schools are mediocre by international standards, its infrastructure rickety, its regulations dense, its tax code byzantine, its immigration system hare-brained—and it has fallen from first position in the World Economic Forum’s competitiveness rankings to seventh in just four years.

 Last year both Mr Obama and his election opponent, Mitt Romney, complained about the American dream slipping away. Today, the country’s main businesses sit on nearly $2 trillion in cash, afraid to invest in part because corporate bosses cannot imagine any of Washington’s feuding partisans fixing anything.

The kink in the hose is the socialist leadership in the White House.  The trajectory of virtually everything Obama has done since his first election is to stall anything that would even have the indication that free enterprise, business investors, or business investment would send our economy in a healing direction.   His issuance of actually thousands of bureaucratic regulations is a strangulation of free enterprise and an arterial blockage to hiring, risk taking, business expansion and new business startups.  His objective is to prevent, in any way he possibly can, the concept that free enterprise works and and the only alternative is a nanny state where government has all of the answers to the needs of the electorate. 

Of course, the monument to Obama's government takeover of 17% of our nations economy is Obamacare.  Even before it is implemented it has caused nothing but higher costs of medical care, decreased access, decreased treatment options and an all time high of "underaged" doctors reporting earlier retirements from the profession.  Consider this:..reduced payments to medical practitioners, increasingly fewer
doctors available to accept Medicare patients, higher numbers of doctors retiring at the peak of their profession, ObamaCare dumping 30-million (non-paying) people into the coverage system and he has robbed 700-million dollars from Medicare  to pay for the new non paying entrants.   GO FIGURE !!??

10 Poorest Cities in America and how did it happen?

City, State, % of People Below the Poverty Level

1. Detroit , MI            32.5%
2. Buffalo , NY           29.9%
3. Cincinnati ,OH       27.8%
4. Cleveland , OH      27.0%

8. Milwaukee , WI     26.2%
9. Philadelphia , PA   25.1%
10. Newark , NJ        24.2%

What do the top ten cities (over 250,000) with the highest poverty rate all have in common?

Detroit, MI (1st on the poverty rate list) hasn't elected a Republican mayor since 1961.
Buffalo, NY - (2nd) hasn't elected one since 1954
Cincinnati, OH - (3rd) since 1984
Cleveland, OH - (4th) since 1989
Miami, FL - (5th) has never had a Republican mayor

Milwaukee , WI - (8th) since 1908
Philadelphia, PA - (9th) since 1952
Newark, NJ - (10th) since 1907

Einstein once said, 'The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.' It is the poor who habitually elect Democrats
yet they are still POOR!

"You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred. You cannot build character and courage by taking away people's initiative and independence. You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves." Abraham Lincoln

New Chemical Element Discovered

From our Issaqua, WA Correspondent Karla Greer we found this piece of important scientific news.
The heaviest element known to science was recently discovered byinvestigators at a major U.S. research university. The element, tentatively named Administratium, has no protons or electrons and thus has an atomic number of 0. However, it does have one neutron, 125 assistant neutrons, 75 vice neutrons and 111 assistant vice neutrons, which gives it an atomic mass of 312. These 312 particles are held together by a force that involves the continuous exchange of meson-like particles called morons.

Since it has no electrons, Administratium is inert. However, it can be detected chemically as it impedes every reaction it comes in contact with. According to the discoverers, a minute amount of Administratium causes one reaction to take over four days to complete when it would have normally occurred in less than a second.

Administratium has a normal half-life of approximately three years, at which time it does not decay, but instead undergoes a reorganization in which assistant neutrons, vice neutrons and assistant vice neutrons exchange places. Some studies have shown that the atomic mass actually increases after each reorganization.

Research at other laboratories indicates that Administratium occurs naturally in the atmosphere. It tends to concentrate at certain points such as government agencies, large corporations, and universities. It can usually be found in the newest, best appointed, and best maintained buildings.

Scientists point out that Administratium is known to be toxic at any level of concentration and can easily destroy any productive reaction where it is allowed to accumulate. Attempts are being made to determine how Administratium can be controlled to prevent irreversible damage, but results to date are not promising.

Thanks for your help sweetie! This from the"National Review"

Obama Finds Way to Make Commerce Secretary Position Valuable -- For Him, At Least.

Making official what many Democrats have expected for weeks, President Obama plans to nominate Chicago business executive Penny Pritzker, a longtime political supporter and heavyweight fundraiser, as his new Commerce secretary on Thursday morning.

Pritzker's nomination could prove controversial. She is on the board of Hyatt Hotels Corp., which was founded by her family and has had rocky relations with labor unions, and she could face questions about the failure of a bank partly owned by her family.

With a personal fortune estimated at $1.85 billion, Pritzker is listed by Forbes magazine among the 300 wealthiest Americans. She is the founder, chair and CEO of PSP Capital Partners, a private equity firm, and its affiliated real estate investment firm, Pritzker Realty Group. She played an influential role in Obama's rise from Illinois state senator to the nation's 44th president, serving as Obama's national finance chair in his first campaign for the White House and co-chair of his reelection campaign.

As the Tribune notes, "Pritzker has been one of Obama's most valuable fundraisers, raising more than $500,000 for his reelection. This year, she donated $250,000 to his inaugural committee." And then: "A longtime friend, Pritzker was national finance chairwoman for the Obama campaign throughout his 2008 presidential effort. She helped him raise a record $750 million from a dizzying array of donors. "

Obama sucks at the public trough...

No one says the President doesn't deserve his benefits. But it's hard to get past his plan to limit savers to half the value of what he'll walk away with.  The last thing we need in the USA is Obma's proposal  that limits people to the amounts of money they can accumulate for their own retirement.,  This is another example of what can happen when we elect a financially retarded  big government socialist as President.

When you review the heavy-duty packages of tax payer funded goodies that Obama walks away with in 2016, after spending 8 years demolishing our economy, our international respect and our military he should be paying us instead of us making him a  a multimilionaire..

 I can't get past Obama wanting to limit savers to only about half the value of what he stands to get from his post-presidential package. Based on numbers from Vanguard Annuity Access, I value his package at more than $6.6 million. (My calculations are at the bottom of this piece.)  What sickens me most is that it comes to him after spending only 8 years in his failed Presidency,  The amount you and I accumulate is at the end of 40 years of trying to build a independent reetirement.  And...doing so with the heavy hand of government clumsiness making it harder every year.      Read the entire story HERE 

Judge Jeanine rips the bombers, their mother and the Obama crowd.

From the mailbag. A Cool Bucket List:

Obama: Gone!

• Put "GOD" back in America!!!
• Borders: Closed!
• Congress: Obey its own laws NOW!
• Language: English only!
• Culture: Constitution, and the Bill of Rights!
• Drug Free: Mandatory Drug
• Screening before Welfare!
• NO freebies to Non-Citizens!
• Balance the budget. Stop giving away our money to foreign countries!
• We need it here! Charge them not us for our help!
• Fix the TAX CODE!
• And most of all RESPECT OUR MILITARY AND OUR FLAG!!!!!

Unfortunately, I cannot see a single item on the list that would remotely become reality as long had the current Bozo-in-Charge is on his throne.

Yup !! And...here comes your President..Trying to dupliicate Illinois....and doing a good job !

There are more people on Welfare in Illinois than there are people working.
Chicago pays the highest wages to teachers than anywhere else in the U.S. averaging $110,000/year.
Their pensions average 80-90% of their income. You can't blame that on republicans because there aren't any.

Wow, are Illinois and Chicago great or what?  Be sure to read till the end; never heard it explained better.

Perhaps the U.S. should pull out of Chicago ?
Body count: In the last six months 292 killed (murdered) in Chicago .
221 killed in Iraq AND Chicago has one of the strictest gun laws in the entire US.

Here's the Chicago chain of command:
· President: Barack Hussein Obama
· Senator: Dick Durbin
· House Representative: Jesse Jackson Jr. (since resigned for theft of funds)
· Governor: Pat Quinn
· House leader: Mike Madigan
· Atty. Gen.: Lisa Madigan (daughter of Mike)
· Mayor: Rahm Emanuel
· The leadership in Illinois - all Democrats.
· Thank you for the combat zone in Chicago .
· Of course, they're all blaming each other.
· Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any!
· Chicago school system rated one of the worst in the country. Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any!
· State pension fund $78 Billion in debt, worst in country. Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any!
· Cook County ( Chicago ) sales tax 10.25% highest in country. Can't blame Republicans; there aren't any!
· This is the political culture that Obama comes from in Illinois . And he is going to 'fix' Washington politics for us???  God protect us !

This is a headshaker..

Do you ever come face to face with something that just sorta make your neck itch?  This is one of those thing.  I admit to being pretty predisposed to expecting the worst out of our President and his inept performance in just about every aspect of our nation's existance. His obsession to establishing a monstrous, intrusive and expensive government bureaucracy in our country is a corosive mold destroying the shining city on a hill.

When you see something like the piece below it is hard to not scratch your head in wonder.  Does this look OK to you?

Arif Alikhan - Assistant Secretary for Policy Development for the U.S. Department of Homeland Security
Mohammed Elibiary - Homeland Security Adviser

Rashad Hussain - Special Envoy to the (OIC) Organization of the Islamic Conference

Kinda looks like the Muslim Brotherhood is got its nose under our tent.

Mainstream Media, Fair and Balanced---Yeah Right!!

Who is Ed Mezvinsky ? Edward "Ed" Mezvinsky, born January 17, 1937, is a former Democratic congressman. He represented Iowa's 1st congressional district in the United States House of Representatives for two terms, from 1973 to 1977. He sat on the House Judiciary Committee that decided the fate of Richard Nixon. He and the Clinton's were very politically intertwined for years. In March 2001, Mezvinsky was indicted and later pleaded guilty to 31 of 69 charges of bank fraud, mail fraud, and wire fraud. He was sentenced to 80 months in (Federal) prison. Ed Mezvinsky embezzled more than $10 million dollars from people via both a ponzi scheme and the notorious Nigerian e-mail scams. After serving five years in federal prison, he was released in April 2008. He remained on federal probation through 2011, and still owes $9.4 million in restitution to his victims.   So who is Ed Mezvinsky? He's Chelsea Clinton's father-in law.   Has anyone heard mention of this in any of the media? If this guy were Jenna or Barbara Bush's, or better yet, Sarah Palin's daughter's, father-in- law, the news would be an every day headline, large type! ...  No double standard in the media, .

Another penetrating view from Maureen.

The Architect of Destruction
By Maureen Scott
 
"Obama comes from a community organizer background where it's us against them. But that's not who we are. And that's not the position the leader of our Nation should take." - Dr. Benjamin Carson

Obama appears to be a tormented man filled with resentment, anger, and disdain for anyone of an opinion or view other than his. He acts in the most hateful, spiteful, malevolent, vindictive ways in order to manipulate and maintain power and control over others. Perhaps, because, as a child, he grew up harboring an abiding bitterness toward the U.S. that was instilled in him by his family and mentors. It seems to have never left him.

It is not the color of his skin that is a problem - for anyone in America.

Rather it is the blackness that fills his soul and the hollowness in his heart where there should be abiding pride and love for this country.

Think: Have we ever heard Obama speak lovingly of the U.S. or its people, with deep appreciation and genuine respect for our history, our customs, our sufferings and our blessings? Has he ever revealed that, like most patriotic Americans, he gets "goose bumps" when a band plays "The Star Spangled Banner," or sheds a tear when he hears a beautiful rendition of "America the Beautiful?" Does his heart burst with pride when millions of American flags wave on a National holiday - or someone plays "taps" on a trumpet? Has he ever shared the admiration of the military, as we as lovers of those who keep us free, feel when soldiers march by? It is doubtful because Obama did not grow up sharing our experiences or our values. He did not sit at the knee of a Grandfather or Uncle who showed us his medals and told us about the bravery of his fellow troops as they tramped through foreign lands to keep us free. He didn't have grandparents who told stories of suffering and then coming to America, penniless, and the opportunities they had for building a business and life for their children.

Away from this country as a young child, Obama didn't delight in being part of America and its greatness. He wasn't singing our patriotic songs in kindergarten, or standing on the roadside for a holiday parade and eating a hot dog, or lighting sparklers around a campfire on July 4th as fireworks exploded over head, or placing flags on the gravesites of fallen and beloved American heroes.

Rather he was separated from all of these experiences and doesn't really understand us and what it means to be an American. He is void of the basic emotions that most feel regarding this country and insensitive to the instinctive pride we have in our national heritage. His opinions were formed by those who either envied us or wanted him to devalue the United States and the traditions and patriotism that unites us.
He has never given a speech that is filled with calm, reassuring, complimentary, heartfelt statements about all the people in the U.S. Or one that inspires us to be better and grateful and proud that in a short time our country became a leader, and a protector of many. Quite the contrary, his speeches always degenerate into mocking, ridiculing tirades as he faults our achievements as well as any critics or opposition for the sake of a laugh, or to bolster his ego. He uses his Office to threaten and create fear while demeaning and degrading any American who oppose his policies and actions. A secure leader, who has noble self-esteem and not false confidence, refrains from showing such dread of critics and displaying a cocky, haughty attitude.

Mostly, his time seems to be spent causing dissention, unrest, and anxiety among the people of America, rather than uniting us (even though he was presented to us as the "Great Uniter"). He creates chaos for the sake of keeping people separated, envious, aggrieved and ready to argue. Under his leadership Americans have been kept on edge, rather than in a state of comfort and security. He incites people to be aggressive toward, and disrespectful of, those of differing opinions. And through such behavior, Obama has lowered the standards for self-control and mature restraint to the level of street-fighting gangs, when he should be raising the bar for people to strive toward becoming more considerate, tolerant, self-disciplined, self-sustaining, and self-assured.

Not a day goes by that he is not attempting to defy our laws, remove our rights, over-ride established procedures, install controversial appointees, enact divisive mandates, and assert a dictatorial form of power.

·         Never has there been a leader of this great land who used such tactics to harm and hurt the people and this country.

·         Never have we had a President who spoke with a caustic, evil tongue against the citizenry rather than present himself as a soothing, calming and trustworthy force.

·         Never, in this country, have we experienced how much stress one man can cause a nation of people - on a daily basis!

Obama has promoted the degeneration of peace, civility, and quality of cooperation between us. He thrives on tearing us down, rather than building us up. He is the Architect of the decline of America, and the epitome of a Demagogue.

Welcome the new Democrats....

ELEVEN MILLION OF THEM !!!

Should Obama send back his Nobel Peace Prize?

Just in case you forgot:  Remember when Obama won his first term and limped and wimped his apology tour around the globe trying to convince the world that he was bringing a new form of international attitude towards other nations from the USA.  He did  a good job, as he always does, from the podium.  His bullshit was taken so seriously that he was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.  How 'bout that ?  Nine months in office and he had garnered one of the highest and most honored recognitions.  They sure know how to pick 'em!  The last time a US  citizen captured the N P P was 2002.     The prize was awarded to: JIMMY CARTER JR., former President of the United States of America, for his decades of untiring effort to find peaceful solutions to international conflicts, to advance democracy and human rights, and to promote economic and social development . 

Wow!  From Community Organizer in Chicago (aka union organizer) to a couple lackluster years in the Senate, to nine months as President.  What a man!!!  He's right up there with Nelson Mandela, Gorbochev and Jimmy Carter.

A very interesting article in American Spectator this weak.  Here is a short excerpt.  If interested in entire article click  HERE for :"Revoke Obama's

Peach Prize"  FSC

"Obama, who less than nine months after his inauguration won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize for his “extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples” while fostering “a new climate” in international relations, especially in reaching out to the Islamic world, has the U.S. engaged in conflicts in six Muslim nations. Today Mr. Obama has more troops in Afghanistan than when he took office. He has widened the use of drones. (The U.S. now has 8,000 of the unmanned remote control planes.) He involved the U.S. military in an undeclared war in Libya, and waged covert wars in Yemen and Somalia. Perhaps most alarming, he is the first U.S. president to authorize the assassination of an American abroad (the New Mexican born Anwar al-Awlaki).

Obama, who less than nine months after his inauguration won the 2009 Nobel Peace Prize for his “extraordinary efforts to strengthen international diplomacy and cooperation between peoples” while fostering “a new climate” in international relations, especially in

 During the Bush administration, there was an American drone attack in Pakistan every 43 days; during the first two years of the Obama administration, there was a drone strike there every four days.… The man who went to Washington as an “antiwar” president was more Teddy Roosevelt than Jimmy Carter."

Too subtle ???

I don't know who put this together but I sure admire his vocabulary.  I could add a couple of my own but my grand daughters read my blog!!

No wonder....

Everyone seems to be wondering why Muslim terrorists are so quick to commit suicide.  It is not rocket science, just look at the evidence and the mystery is solved:
- No Christmas
- No television
- No nude women
- No football
- No pork chops
- No hot dogs
- No burgers
- No beer
- No bacon
- Rags for clothes
- Towels for hats
- Constant wailing from some idiot in a tower
- More than one wife
- More than one mother-in-law
- You can't shave
- Your wife can't shave
- You can't wash off the smell of donkey
- You cook over burning camel shit

- Your wife is picked by someone else for you and she smells

worse than your donkey. Then they tell you that "when you die, it all gets better" ?

Well no Sh*t Sherlock !... It's not like it could get much worse !!!

We could really use a real President.

A virtual Presidential news conference

AMAZING ! From our Minnesota Correspondent, Pat Mackey

THE WASHINGTON POST HITS OBAMA! Finally, the Washington Post speaks out on Obama! This is very brutal, timely though. As I'm sure you know, the Washington Post newspaper has a reputation for being extremely liberal. So the fact that its editor saw fit to print the following article about Obama in its newspaper makes this a truly amazing event and a news story in and of itself. At last, the truth about our President and his obvious socialist agenda are starting to trickle through the protective wall built around him by our liberal media.

By Matt Patterson (columnist - Washington Post, New York Post, San Francisco Examiner)

Years from now, historians may regard the 2008 election of Barack Obama as an inscrutable and disturbing phenomenon, the result of a baffling breed of mass hysteria akin perhaps to the witch craze of the Middle Ages. How, they will wonder, did a man so devoid of professional accomplishment beguile so many into thinking he could manage the world's largest economy, direct the world's most powerful military, execute the world's most consequential job? Imagine a future historian examining Obama's pre-presidential life: ushered into and through the Ivy League despite unremarkable grades and test scores along the way; a cushy non-job as a "community organizer"; a brief career as a state legislator devoid of legislative achievement (and in fact nearly devoid of his attention, so often did he vote "present"); and finally an unaccomplished single term in the United States Senate, the entirety of which was devoted to his presidential ambitions.

He left no academic legacy in academia, authored no signature legislation as a legislator. And then there is the matter of his troubling associations: the white-hating, America-loathing preacher who for decades served as Obama's "spiritual mentor"; a real-life, actual terrorist who served as Obama's colleague and political sponsor. It is easy to imagine a future historian looking at it all and asking: how on Earth was such a man elected president?

Not content to wait for history, the incomparable Norman Podhoretz addressed the question recently in the Wall Street Journal: To be sure, no white candidate who had close associations with an outspoken hater of America like Jeremiah Wright and an unrepentant terrorist like Bill Ayers, would have lasted a single day. But because Mr. Obama was black, and therefore entitled in the eyes of liberal Dom to have hung out with protesters against various American injustices, even if they were a bit extreme, he was given a pass. Let that sink in: Obama was given a pass - held to a lower standard - because of the color of his skin.

Podhoretz continues: And in any case, what did such ancient history matter when he was also so articulate and elegant and (as he himself had said) "non-threatening," all of which gave him a fighting chance to become the first black president and thereby to lay the curse of racism to rest?

Podhoretz puts his finger, I think, on the animating pulse of the Obama phenomenon - affirmative action. Not in the legal sense, of course. But certainly in the motivating sentiment behind all affirmative action laws and regulations, which are designed primarily to make white people, and especially white liberals, feel good about themselves.

Unfortunately, minorities often suffer so that whites can pat themselves on the back. Liberals routinely admit minorities to schools for which they are not qualified, yet take no responsibility for the inevitable poor performance and high drop-out rates which follow. Liberals don't care if these minority students fail; liberals aren't around to witness the emotional devastation and deflated self-esteem resulting from the racist policy that is affirmative action. Yes, racist. Holding someone to a separate standard merely because of the color of his skin - that's affirmative action in a nutshell, and if that isn't racism, then nothing is.

And that is what America did to Obama. True, Obama himself was never troubled by his lack of achievements, but why would he be? As many have noted, Obama was told he was good enough for Columbia despite undistinguished grades at Occidental; he was told he was good enough for the US Senate despite a mediocre record in Illinois ; he was told he was good enough to be president despite no record at all in the Senate. All his life, every step of the way, Obama was told he was good enough for the next step, in spite of ample evidence to the contrary.

What could this breed if not the sort of empty narcissism on display every time Obama speaks? In 2008, many who agreed that he lacked executive qualifications nonetheless raved about Obama's oratory skills, intellect, and cool character. Those people - conservatives included - ought now to be deeply embarrassed.

The man thinks and speaks in the hoariest of clichés, and that's when he has his Teleprompters in front of him; when the prompter is absent he can barely think or speak at all. Not one original idea has ever issued from his mouth - it's all warmed-over Marxism of the kind that has failed over and over again for 100 years.

And what about his character?

Obama is constantly blaming anything and everything else for his troubles. Bush did it; it was bad luck; I inherited this mess. It is embarrassing to see a president so willing to advertise his own powerlessness, so comfortable with his own incompetence. But really, what were we to expect? The man has never been responsible for anything, so how do we expect him to act responsibly?

In short: our president is a small and small-minded man, with neither the temperament nor the intellect to handle his job. When you understand that, and only when you understand that, will the current erosion of liberty and prosperity make sense. It could not have gone otherwise with such a man in the Oval Office.
