Do you still think Obama is anything more than a sneaky, conniving Chicago politician? Let's read some more quotes about Mr. Hope and Change written by an ex-True Believer:
The principles and norms that make up that civic religion are the crucial intangibles that breath life into the words that are sealed in the constitution and sanctify our prosaic institutions and practices. To fulfill this duty, the Chief Executive must strive to embody our public values. The inescapable wheeling and dealing that is an integral part of the job must not be driven by personal ambition alone to occupy the White House. Measured against these somber responsibilities, Barack Obama has failed the country. Moreover, it is a failure that is not dictated by the array of forces or flawed strategy. The truth is far more troubling. He has failed us due to a lack of conviction, a lack of appreciation where the path of presidential duty lies, a lack of courage, and no lack of expedient impulses to promote himself.
"...an alarming contradiction between a skillfully cultivated public persona and his actual, private thinking about the issues of our era. We have seen proof after proof that Obama the self-proclaimed enlightened progressive is in fact deeply conventional man who instinctively bows to the powerful established interests vested in an America that shuns the liberal philosophy that has legitimated the Democratic Party for a century -- and that provided the foundation for the great post-war era of prosperity and social progress. It is not by happenstance that Barack Obama drew his political inspiration from Ronald Reagan -- the president whose leadership Obama repeatedly has lauded above all other occupants of the White House.
And then there was the egregious giveaway of continued Bush era tax cuts for the super rich in December, for which he received a handful of gruel in return. That last act should have been the conclusive evidence of where the president's heart and mind lie. The true believers among supposed liberals refused to see it. For they have proven true believers in an imagined man who does not exist; true believers of what satisfies their own needs for a hero more than the well-being of those whose cause they claim to serve. All this goes unexamined by mainstream pundits, analysts, experts, political journalists, economic sages, academics, etc.
This man kicked the pastor who baptized his babies and the church he attended for 20 years to the curb because of the obvious drag on his political career his church's Black Liberation Theology would have had on his aspirations. He had complicity from the media and the Democratic party in covering as much up about who he really was as possible. It worked...and is STILL working. He's kicked the Dem Party to the curb like he did his pastor and church. No surprise...open your eyes.
This guy wants to remain POTUS at any cost...he likes it too much to be loyal to his Democrat base...it's not like he could hide or does hide who he is...an incompetent nimcompoop America didn't do it's homework on because it wanted a Black President...no matter what.
