A View Of Barack Obama: The Right vs. The Left

Written By : John Hawkins

When I look at Barack Obama, I see a stunningly naive, cowardly, dishonest, vindictive, arrogant, hyper-partisan empty suit, who has gotten as far as he has mainly because he’s black, gives a good speech, and was extraordinarily lucky in his timing. This is a man who rose to the absolute pinnacle of power in American politics, at a very young age, with an almost non-existent record of accomplishment behind him.

Because he’s black and liberal, he gets kid glove treatment from the press, the media, and Hollywood. Because he has large majorities in the House and Senate, he has still never had to actually lead, even as President. Other people craft the legislation, he gives a speech, and then he waits for his sycophants in the press to talk about how wonderful he is and what terrible racists his political opponents happen to be.

Beyond the fact that he gives a good speech and looks great with his shirt off, I don’t find Obama to be a particularly impressive guy. He’s not someone who’s competent enough to run a business. He seems completely over-his-head as Commander-In-Chief. His views on domestic policy are proven failures that are so foolish and wrongheaded, that they literally threaten the continued success of the United States as a nation. This is a man who seems far better suited to be yet another liberal college professor than the President of the United States.

That is how I view Barack Obama and most conservatives probably agree with me.

Now, here’s liberal columnist Richard Cohen on our unicorn-riding savior in the White House:

Perfection may be President Obama’s biggest flaw

If, as the saying goes, the perfect is the enemy of the good, then Barack Obama is his own worst enemy. That becomes clear in the upcoming HBO documentary “By the People: The Election of Barack Obama,” which is the product of many months of behind-the-scenes access to Obama during the presidential campaign. It reveals that Barack Obama is pretty close to the most perfect person you will never get to know.

This is what he does not do in the course of the primary and general election campaigns: He does not lose his temper. He does not curse. He does not follow a pretty woman with his eyes or sneak a smoke. He does not dress sloppily. He is always calm and always good-natured and gets emotional only once – the day his grandmother, Madelyn Dunham, the woman who in effect raised him, died in Hawaii. At a campaign event in North Carolina, he expressed his love and gratitude. He cried and, watching, I did, too.

What’s striking about this inside look at Obama is how being inside gets you nowhere. It is virtually the same as being outside. What’s also striking about this movie is its lack of arc. Obama is always golden, always going to win and always does. His issue, if it can be called that, is himself. He is something new, something young, something biracial and something black, but he is not something from a political or ideological constituency. He is adored by his fans – the directors, Amy Rice and Alicia Sams, included – not for something he’s done, but rather for something he is.

Rather than comment on that deification of Barack Obama, let me just tell you to show this post to your non-political friends when they ask you why liberals and conservatives can’t ever seem to agree on anything.

Obama worship is a serious mental illness. In this country, we do not deify our leaders. Even George Washington, the greatest President we ever had or will have, was only a man — and he knew it.

Oh look the blithering idiot is back, and making no sense what so ever.

The question is: which is the more factual, accurate depiction of the man? Which is true and which is politically driven or irrational?

It's entirely plausible that both are correct. Consider Cohen's version of "perfect". It doesn't embody any particular virtues, simply that he lacks any particular vices. It's easy to imagine a complete mediocrity lacking significant vices and genuine greatness having pronounced failings.

This documentary on Obama. Does it show the close personal, professional,financial, and political relationship the One has with George Soros?
CoolCzech

Apparantly, The Won has decided it would not be fitting for the American President to attend the upcoming 20th Anniversary of the Fall of Communism festivities in Germany.

Just think about that.

I mean, I suppose it's for the best, because who could stomach him apologizing to the world for America's role in liberating hundreds of millions in eastern Europe?

And wouldn't a guy that habitually hangs out with Marxists, Maoists, eugenics enthusiasts, terrorists, and outright racists be distinctly uncomfortable at a celebration of the demise of one of Hugo Chavez's pet causes? I mean, how would he be able to bump fists with Hugo and look him in the eye, again?

Meanwhile, if anyone still cares to dispute that we have a sycophantic media in the USA, let's let one of those Obama radicals speak for herself (c/o Fox News, America's sole remaining legitimate news service):

The Obama campaign's press strategy leading up to his election last November focused on "making" the media cover what the campaign wanted and on exercising absolute "control" over coverage, White House Communications Director Anita Dunn told an overseas crowd early this year. In a video of the event, Dunn is seen describing in detail the media strategy used by then-Sen. Barack Obama's highly disciplined presidential campaign. The video is footage from a Jan. 12 forum hosted by the Global Foundation for Democracy and Development in the Dominican Republic. "Very rarely did we communicate through the press anything that we didn't absolutely control," Dunn said

I suppose Charlie Gibson's reaction to this would be, "Anita Dunn? Never heard of her!"

This is a man who rose to the absolute pinnacle of power in American politics,

C'mon – make up your mind.

Why didn't you complete what John wrote? Completing the sentence makes this a logical AND not a logical OR (in comuter science speak). Meaning BOTH are true.

Well, Realidiot, you and opinions have something in common. You're both like assholes.

Its not an opinion that Obama is a young guy for the Presidency.

As to his level of experience, he's done community organizing (unsuccessfully), and he was an Illinois state legislator (who mostly voted 'present'). He also ran two campaigns, and 'wrote' two books (they were possibly ghost-written which is not dishonorable, but you can't compare him to a real author like Ann Coulter or George Will.)

That is a lack of experience for this job. I've written FOUR books. If I get a place on the library board, and then later on the city council, will I be qualified to be President? Well, I'd be more qualified than Mr. Obama because I've studied hard topics more than he has.

He has a small record of accomplishment behind him.

No it's FACTs, the man has NO measurable accomplisments.

I'll give it a try.

1. President Obama has produced the largest government deficit in the history of the world.

2. President Obama has given more money to PLO terrorists than George Bush did in 8 years in office.

3. He has nationalized banks and the auto industry.

4. His administration was the first American administration to not condemn a deadly terror attack in Israel.

You see, he does have accomplishments that the left can look to with admiration.

That's not an accomplishment never-show. He conned people into casting votes, against a Bush-lite candidate!!! Hillary would have just as easily or even Biden if they had won the party nomination. That doesn't count as DOING SOMETHING. So your example = FAIL. Please tell us what he has accomplished, what business did he run? What charity? What bills did he propose and get passed? What movements has he lead?

LOL noshow2, you really are a tool.

I doubt, if a baseball player tomorrow night wins a World Series game with anything from a base hit to an bases-loaded home run, you are going to sneer and say "Yeh – but do you know what his stats were in the minors."

Since baseball has no meaning to me, I'd say you're an idiot. And PLAYERS don't win baseball games, teams do. Just like teams win elections, the person elected is just the face man. So that's not an accomplishment. Players can accomplish set/break individual records; RBIs, homers, bases stolen, THOSE are accomplishments. So far Obambi has exactly zero real accomplishments.

I agree with both of those statements. I like the Angels a lot but I don't think anyone is beating the Yankees this time around. Rodriguez has broken the post season slump and that alone is bad news for any opponent they face.

I don't care if the Yanks lose to Philly in the World Series.

It's worth it just to see them excorcise their Angels demons.

The more I see of B Hussein, I see him taking the paranoid "enemies list" mentality of Nixon, mixing it with the idiotic impotence of the Carter administration (with a helping dollop of Carter's financial stupidity), blending in the chemical addictions of Grant, folding in Wilson's rampant racism, and topping it off with the empty suit glibness of Kennedy.

In other words, take the worst of all presidents, put it all together and…TA DAAAAAA! B Hussein.
