"Maybe the greatest hoax in history"

Empty Suit

Hate to see another business hit the dirt..   but  this one goes out

with a bang !  

The liberal Newsweek Magazine is going out of business but not before

it attacks the President. Wonderful story!

This is quite an article, even more so when you consider that NEWSWEEK

finally had the guts to admit it. WOW!

Newsweek COVER!!! It is their last cover before they fold. Also read

the article at the end. AMAZING!!!

Finally, Matt Patterson and Newsweek speak out about Obama. This is

timely and tough. As many of you know, Newsweek has a reputation for

being extremely liberal. The fact that their editor saw fit to print

the following article about Obama and the one that appears in the

latest Newsweek, makes this a truly amazing event, and a news story in

and of itself. At last, the truth about our President and his agenda

are starting to trickle through the protective wall built around him

by the liberal media...

By Matt Patterson (Newsweek Columnist - Opinion Writer)

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, less 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? There is no

evidence that he ever attended or worked for any university or that he

ever sat for the Illinois bar. We have no documentation for any of his

claims. He may well be the greatest hoax in history.

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. (An example is his 2012

campaign speeches which are almost word for word his 2008 speeches)

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. Remember, he wanted the job, campaigned for the

task. It is embarrassing to see a president so willing to advertise

his own powerless-ness, so comfortable with his own incompetence. (The

other day he actually came out and said no one could have done

anything to get our economy and country back on track). 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-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 an

impostor in the Oval Office.
