Barack Obama: The Man Behind the Mask

| Sixty-three months ago Barack Obama officially declared his candidacy for President. Only now are some among the so-called media and ruling elites in America slowly awakening from their self-induced infatuation and beginning to understand who he is. It has become difficult to ignore the overt intimidation, demagoguery and deliberate falsehoods spewed forth by Obama relative to sequestration -- a miniscule cut in the growth of federal spending. However, any cursory examination of his past reveals that these tactics are second nature to the man who currently occupies the Oval Office.

All this bozo and his traveling demonrats care about is enriching themselves at the expense of everyone else. They could care less about the country so long as they get theirs.

I´m not the smartest tack in the box but I was saying this long before he was elected. All you have to do is look at his past record.
And from his own lips his christianity is a sham.

Barack Obama is someone who would willingly inflict pain and suffering on the American people in order to permanently destroy his political enemies and accumulate near dictatorial power for the government he controls.
He has a huge support system in place, beginning with Valerie Jarrett and continuing through the Courts, the Justice Dept. and his Administration -- radicals all. Without a conscience to his name, it is easy, nay sadistic, to destroy anyone who comes between him and absolute power.
If those currently in power in the United States succeed in eliminating any opposition and continue to inexorably increase their control of the government through their tyrannical tactics, aided and abetted by the media, the sycophants in the ruling class and the entertainment complex, there will inevitably be uncontrolled violence and upheaval within America´s borders. The nation´s standard of living will drop precipitously; there will be an irrevocable loss of freedom and ultimately the imposition of foreign influence over a once proud nation.
I cannot believe Steve doesn´t see all this happening right now. I can see it. The only thing missing is "uncontrolled violence". For now, it´s somewhat controlled, except in Chicago. But let us never forget Obama´s promise to form a "civilian police force with the same resources and power as the military." (not the exact words, but close enough.)
Even the Left is beginning to crack. Some, those who have one remaining shred of integrity, are starting to speak out. The problem is that they are speaking out not because they see the dangers Obama presents, but because they´ve been snubbed -- some members of the White House Press Corps, for example.

The new blame game, which the msm will fully participate in, is that when the economy falters again this time it won´t be Bush´s fault but the sequestration cuts forced on poor little barry by those mean Republicans who hate women, children and all minorities. He is working so hard to fix things but those Republicans just won´t help him because he is black and they are racists. Good grief the msm should be tarred and feathered and run out of town.

Excellent article - so grateful that it is a Must Read!
On a note of hope, I have been substitute teaching in two or three high schools where the history classes are watching the movie Schlindler´s List. The kids then write reports or do projects about the movie. In the Obama age, Schlindler´s List just may be what helps to keep young people from falling down the dark hole of a dictatorship. My generation had The Diary of Anne Frank to show the horror of Hitler.
Thankfully, American kids haven´t had to worry about a Hitler type usurping power in the USA, but we are perilously close with Obama and his thugocracy. The following quote FTA should jolt Americans who participated in the 2008 presidential electon and helped to bring Obama to power: Nearly all the tyrants of the recent past had a unique capacity to mesmerize a large swath of the populace through ability to deliver a speech and create a cult of personality, aided and abetted by a media...

As soothing as it might be to think that a few media elites are beginning to have qualms over some of the results of the Obama presidency, the fact remains that the MSM is deeply invested in this man, both organizationally and at very personal levels. Simply raising a concern over an Obama policy or pronouncement can cause you trouble in the work place and is certain to get you barred from the best Georgetown parties. Though a few elites may occasionally look and behave like beaten wives, they are not going to abandon their man.

The MSM won´t turn against Obama because they are intellectual light weights too ill-equipped to fend off his snake oil charm. The lack of intellectual rigor in J-Schools today, epitomized by the execrable Columbia, has poisoned journalism for a generation. The current cohort of social activist crusaders masquerading as serious journalists have no clue what rigorous investigative reporting is, and are too undisciplined and steeped in sloth and to do it if they tried.

FTA: "What makes this belief system so popular among those who harbor megalomaniacal tendencies is the core tenet that the end justifies the means. With that simple phrase any tactic is permissible under the rubric that the true believers are pre-ordained to govern the people. Thus no lie is too egregious to tell, no strategy to destroy one´s political enemies is out of bounds, and the creation of false crises and faux enemies is not only legitimate but essential."
One of my favorite quotes out of many from this article. Excuse me while I pass it along. If we don´t try and get the truth out, it will not be known. The media will make sure of it and the Republicans are seemingly unwilling to go on the offensive. If this country is saved, it will be by the people. Our party has failed us.

We have here a ruthless and I mean ruthless President and who did the Republicans send up against him? A mushroom, a wussie, a do-gooding mr. positive lightweight. And who do we have up against him now? Mitch McConnell, John Boehner, Eric Cantor, John McCain, Lindsay Graham, John Cornyn, and all the Bush acolytes. It is a joke....and we are going to go down!

#8, the genesis for the fury of enlightened German youth after WWI was the belief, furthered by the cowardly Kaiser and the German press, that traitorous Jews were responsible for the loss of WWI and the thorough humiliation of Germany at Versailles. The Jews simply had to be destroyed as enemies of a nobler Mankind. Compare that to what today´s youth is taught about Republicans, gun-owners, Christians, Jews, suburbanites, the wealthy, tea party sympathizers, etc. Hatred and evil can visit any generation.

I´ve said before that behind the big joker smile lives a cold and angry man. I´ve jokingly called him a Black Panther with a law degree. He and the missus are still filled with the 60´s rage that gave us Huey Newton and Angela Davis. They vented their rage at the "man" (white of course). But now Obama is the "man". What now? He often laments that he is not a dictator. This is a fact... If he wins the house he will de facto become one. Where then will he go to vent his rage?

Steve is a softie, afraid of the truth, just dances around the core. It´s all about communism, Stalin, Hitler, and he won´t mention those words. These reckless, ruthless agitators are destroying as much as they can destroy, as quickly as they can destroy. Enough of New Media sees it, Andrew saw it, spoke ludly, but he´s dead. James David Manning, black preacher says, "he was wacked". But all of old Tom Brokaw, Diane Sawyer, Brian Williams, Steve Pelley, 60 Minutes Ministry, the whole, huge mafia media support it and are blind to all the crime being perptrated now. The road from Puglosi, Reid, Obama socalism, to Stalinist Soviet Communism, is a short one. Time to wake up and smell the stink.

Please! Can we finally at least put to rest the tired, worn out and, most importantly, incorrect cliché, “America’s First Black President”?
He is America’s First Gray President.
Contrary to the conventional so-called wisdom which has been “out there” for more than four years, Barack Hussein Obama is America’s first gray, not black, president. 50% black + 50% white = 100% gray. Or even Mulatto, if you prefer. So, can we finally clear that up and get it out of the way? Thank you!

What is so depressing about this article is that there were articles just like this before the election and yet through fraud we got him again. I´ve never been more concerned for this country and am torn between wanting to be very informed and just going underground and putting my head in the sand. It´s so tiresome that those of us who see the writing on the wall are called conspiracy theorists, the tin foil hat brigade and worse. 0bama is behaving just like many dictators in the past and we have a media who is complicit in our demise because they idolize the tyrant 0bama way too much. The leftists have had years and years to put in place all the pieces they need to bring us down. How I wish we had conservatives who were awake long ago and could have protected us from this disaster.

#42, i know exactly how you feel. And i suspect most of those here and conservatives in general share the agony.
But, we can´t give up. I know you won´t. We need to think, "We have only begun to fight." We must call Congressmen, encourge them, exhort them.
#s29 and 32: i took a (nauseating) tripdown memory lane into 2008, zeroed in on July 2, 2008 where BO is giving a nearly half-hour speech.
Sixteen or so minutes in is where he makes the infamous remark about needing a "civilian national security force that´s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded" as the military, "in order to achieve the national security objectives."
(I revisited americanthinker.com Archives for 2008, so many excellent articles, and so many reminders of how much was known, and yet ignored. Take your strongest anti-nausea meds or a stiff drink before doing likewise...)

Please forgive the second post, however this article has bothered me and I kept trying to think why and I did a search on a well know dictator. Here is a quote:
"youth participation on large construction projects as part of their "patriotic work"; an intensification of political-ideological education in schools and universities, as well as in children´s, youth and student organizations; and an expansion of political propaganda, orienting radio and television shows to this end, as well as publishing houses...."
This is written about Nicolae Ceau?escu. Do these methods look familiar?? Those who do not see 0bama as a threat to this nation do so at their own peril.

Obama was, is and always will be two things: inept and a coward. He lacks real knowledge of anything outside the privileged elitist life he has lead and the ridiculously liberal institutions of ´learning´ he spent his developmental years in. He has no idea that there really are evil people, people intent on death and mayhem. He has no conception that his beloved islam is often perverted into a system of slavery and death. He is clueless and dangerous and the only people with less real world understanding than he, are the blind lemmings that voted for him.

In one of his more well-publicized gaffes, Vice President Biden said of John McCain: "Look, John´s last-minute economic plan does nothing to tackle the number-one job facing the middle class, and it happens to be, as Barack says, a three-letter word: jobs. J-O-B-S, jobs." Actually, of course, it´s a four-letter word, and it was his job and the president´s to create a climate for job expansion, and they failed. The evidence is now overwhelming: they have created the worst employment climate in decades.

When your article inspires a big-city mayor to refer your case to a "human-relations commission," you know you´ve hit a nerve. And when that article is the recent "Being White in Philly" piece by liberal Robert Huber, you know it doesn´t take much truth to hit that nerve. That´s the scary part. Huber´s article contains mostly tepid examples of whites´ negative experiences with blacks and primarily black neighborhoods, such as a Philadelphia resident whose grill was stolen from her backyard but "blames herself" for not fencing it in. Its tone is basically apologetic, absolving a drug dealer of responsibility

Speaker of the House of Representatives John Boehner (R-OH), on March 17, 2013, on ABC´s This Week, said that he "absolutely" trusts Obama. Boehner also said that he and Obama have a good relationship, and that they are "open with each other ... honest with each other." I know it sounds unbelievable, so watch this 22-second video. Where to start? Well, how about these specific examples of Dear Leader Barack Hussein Obama not being "absolutely" trustful? I´m sure AT readers can think of others.

That´s something to remember when you arrive there next week. Israel has a government, elected by its people in a free, fair, open and democratic election. Multiple parties representing widely divergent points of view met a wildly diverse electorate through free media and open debate. This is no stultified two-party affair with a libertarian insurgency. Israel will be the only country you visit in the region, this time or any other, that has a fully democratic system. Do not be swayed by the "apartheid" slander. Citizens of Israel are Jews, Moslems, Christians, and Druze, each with religious and non-religious elements.

Prodded by a president with a weakness for racial agitation and enabled by a politically complicit media, the State of Florida persists in a prosecution that can come to no good end. The defendant is neighborhood watch captain George Zimmerman. The charge is the second-degree murder. The potential outcomes range from major injustice, if Zimmerman is convicted, to mayhem in the streets, if he´s acquitted. And the state plods on as though the angels were on its side. They are not. The witnesses to the February 2012 shooting of 17 year-old Trayvon Martin are proving even more troublesome

The political world changed its orbit Wednesday as Rand Paul seized the spotlight in his March 6 filibuster. Rand Paul -- not this author´s favorite before -- is probably now the 2016 front-runner for president. But the difference results from fundamental changes in substance. How can one day be that big of a deal? Because Rand Paul demonstrated a reproducible, winning formula. It was as if Ronald Reagan were granted just one day to come back to Earth to remind the Party of Lincoln of "how it´s done." Rand demonstrated a repeatable formula that all Republicans can copy.

Sixty-three months ago Barack Obama officially declared his candidacy for President. Only now are some among the so-called media and ruling elites in America slowly awakening from their self-induced infatuation and beginning to understand who he is. It has become difficult to ignore the overt intimidation, demagoguery and deliberate falsehoods spewed forth by Obama relative to sequestration -- a miniscule cut in the growth of federal spending. However, any cursory examination of his past reveals that these tactics are second nature to the man who currently occupies the Oval Office.

Years ago, when I used to play poker with some guys, I played a hand in which across the table from me was someone who looked as though he had a straight flush. He kept pumping up the bidding and everyone folded but me. When we finally showed our hands he had nothing. "You don´t know what you´re doing," he yelled. "Any good player would have folded! Why did you stay in?" he shouted angrily. "Because you curled your lip and reacted furiously when I stayed in. Someone with a winning hand would never do that."

By law, on Friday the executive must begin to cut $85 billion from federal spending. Though, as is his wont, the president is blaming the Republicans for what he claims is a draconian measure. No less a Washington chronicler of events than Bob Woodward of the Washington Post considers that a gross distortion of the truth [T]he automatic spending cuts were initiated by the White House and were the brainchild of [Treasury Secretary nominee Jack] Lew and White House congressional relations chief Rob Nabors -- probably the foremost experts on budget issues in the senior ranks of the federal government.

Too little serious conservative analysis of the 2012 presidential campaign has yet appeared. This is understandable. The results of the election were disheartening to the point of shock. The campaign defied all historical precedent, all commonsense interpretation. The Romney ticket should not have lost and did not deserve to lose. The Democrats, fielding the least worthy ticket in the past century -- and that´s saying something -- did not deserve to win. The reasons they did are myriad and complex. But before we get too far down the road, there is one lesson that has to be grasped:

No, I´m not talking about Jackie, Tito, Jermaine, Marlon, and Michael (God rest Michael´s tortured soul). I´m talking about the Chicago Jacksons, Jesse Sr. and Jesse Jr. The Jackson 5 in their heyday gave plenty: music, entertainment, and joy to their fans. The Chicago Jacksons are another story. Jesse Sr. (The Right Reverend) and his son (the erstwhile congressman) have done a lot more taking than giving. "Taking" may be too charitable a word. Shaking down and wheedling may be better descriptors for the Chicago Jacksons´ acts.

By now you likely have heard that Chris Rock considers Barack Obama America´s father. If that is true, then would somebody call Child Protective Services and find us foster parents! For Chris Rock, America´s true Founding Fathers were disappointingly white. I suspect that whatever the color of America´s Founding Fathers might have been, they would not have approved of having a failure like Obama among their esteemed membership. Thought the Founding Fathers had many flaws, they were smart enough to eliminate the self-indulgent institution of slavery from America´s future.

Michelle Obama has admitted that she is already tired of the bangs she first sported in January. The First Lady said in an interview with Entertainment Tonight: ´Bangs are a day-by-day proposition. They´re starting to grow out, get a little irritating.´ Still, she hasn´t let her hairdo woes get her down. ´It´s okay,´ she said after her initial complaint. ´We´ll be good.´ The first indication that her hairstyle was becoming a burden came about last weekend, when Malia, 14, was spotted adjusting her mother´s hair during the White House Easter Egg Roll.

President Obama´s biggest gaffe yesterday when speaking of California Attorney General Kamala Harris was not in flirtatiously complimenting her as "the best-looking attorney general," but in introducing an observation from the system of beauty into a forum that was about the system of power.What´s that, you say? Irin Carmon does a great job in Salon in laying out the bounds of propriety for when it´s appropriate to talk about a woman´s looks as a general matter. But I´ve long felt we lack a solid theoretical underpinning for easily discussing these issues, and why precisely it is that

Sen. John McCain says he doesn´t understand the threats from some of his Republican colleagues to filibuster a bill on background checks to buy guns. "I don´t understand it," the Arizona Republican said on Sunday of the threat coming from Sen. Rand Paul,Sen. Ted Cruz, Sen. Mike Lee and nine other Republicans. "The purpose of the United States Senate is to debate and to vote and to let the people know where we stand.” "What are we afraid of? ... If this issue is as important as we all think it is, why not take ... it up and debate?"

No one is more preoccupied these days with Hillary Clinton´s 2016 plans than the Beltway political class—not even the former presidential candidate herself. To hear some tell it, her decision will be dispositive for all other Democrats thinking of entering the race. And pundits and reporters aren´t the only ones positing the "The Hillary Factor": No less than the House Democratic whip, Steny Hoyer, told BuzzFeed, “I don´t know that anybody would run against Hillary…. If she runs, she clears the field.” It´s an understandable conclusion, given Clinton´s stature in the Democratic Party and her 70 percent

Neurosurgeon Ben Carson, considered by some to be a potential Republican contender for president, apologized to Johns Hopkins University for the "poorly chosen words" he used in expressing his opposition to gay marriage last month.“I am sorry for any embarrassment this has caused,” Carson said in the letter, reported in New York Magazine.(Snip) "Although I do believe marriage is between a man and a woman, there are much less offensive ways to make that point. I hope all will look at a lifetime of service over some poorly chosen words.” Carson will remain as commencement speaker at Johns Hopkins,

On Friday, Sean Hannity brought Pat Smith, mother of the late Sean Smith, on his radio program. The 34-year-old information management officer was one of four Americans murdered in the Benghazi embassy attack on September 11, 2012. In the chilling interview, a distraught Ms. Smith, in tears, pleaded for answers and spoke of the efforts to silence her. Ms. Smith first relayed how her son, prior to the attack, requested additional security in advance and warned the State Department: He did tell them, ahead of time, he typed it into his little typewriter over there,

Put out an all-points bulletin: Millions of Americans have gone missing from the workforce. Every month that those would-be workers are gone raises the odds that they might never come back, dimming the prospects for future economic growth. The vanishing trend is more than a decade old, but it accelerated during the Great Recession. Throughout 2012, economists held out hope that it had stopped. But then came Friday’s jobs report, and hopes were dashed. The Labor Department reported that the U.S. labor force — everyone who has a job or is looking for one — shrank

The Obama White House is scrambling to blame Friday’s abysmal March jobs numbers on the sequester’s trimming of the rate of growth in federal budgets that have yet to fully commence. After the Labor Department announced that a mass exodus of 663,000 workers left the U.S. workforce last month and that job creation fell 112,000 jobs short of projections, Obama’s top economic adviser Alan B. Krueger, took to the White House blog to blame the sequester: It is important to bear in mind that the March household and payroll surveys are the first monthly surveys to look

Susan Patton, the Princeton alumna who became famous for her letter urging Ivy League women to use their college years to find a mate, has been denounced as a traitor to feminism, to coeducation, to the university ideal. But really she’s something much more interesting: a traitor to her class. Her betrayal consists of being gauche enough to acknowledge publicly a truth that everyone who’s come up through Ivy League culture knows intuitively —

The budget President Barack Obama will submit on April 10 will contain a proposal that would prohibit individuals from accumulating more than $3 million in Individual Retirement Accounts (IRAs) and tax-preferred retirement accounts. According to a White House statement, the Obama administration believes the current rules allow some wealthy individuals "to accumulate many millions of dollars in these accounts, substantially more than is needed to fund reasonable levels of retirement saving." "The budget would limit an individual’s total balance across tax-preferred accounts to an amount sufficient to finance an annuity of not more than $205,000 per
