Wall Street Journal Sizes Up
Obama (WSJ)
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 Alan Caruba:
"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 (George
Soros anybody?) 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, 5 full years into his
presidency, 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.
Knock, knock. Anyone home?
Anyone there? Barack Obama exists only as the sock
puppet of his handlers, of the people who have
maneuvered and manufactured this pathetic individual's
life.
When anyone else would quickly
and easily produce a birth certificate, this man 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.
We laugh at the ventriloquist's
dummy, but what do you do when the dummy is President of
the United States .
We the people are
coming!
