| In February 2001, Julieanna Richardson, as part of an oral history on black Americans called "History Makers," interviewed Barack Obama at length. Although the 10,000-plus-word interview offers no Eureka moments, it does help demystify Obama's debate failure and deepens the doubt that he uniquely authored his own memoir, Dreams from My Father. Kudos to attorney Barron Sawyer for bringing this interview to light. Richardson seems to capture the 39-year-old state senator as he was -- cautious, ambitious, and more than a little vain.

Obama was not "off his game" in Denver. That was his game.

The left and media has had to manufacture narratives about Romney but they continue to have blinders on when looking at Obama's steaming pile of his historical social climbing and wrapping himself with communist memes.
Obama and his ilk believe in the common sharing of everything except what they have.Their benefit structure is roped off from the common working dog.They run around bragging about being a"public servant" while bilking the taxpayers for every dime they can bleed.

I plan to read the whole interview, but right off the bat he describes his Dunham grandparents as "fairly typical Midwestern white Americans." Cf., his "typical white woman" grandmother whom he described as fearful of blacks (after her daughter married one).
His arrogant, unfounded sense of superiority is downright pathological.

FTA: ''...racism in the United States is just one expression of sort of a broader set of injustices that you see around the world.''
It's all about reparations. It always has been. Obama had to ''become'' more black so he could take on the black causes. Hooking up with, and then marrying, Michelle was part of that process.
But also, it seems that not only did the real Obama NOT write his own books, he didn't read them either.
Gee, he's a fraud......

"Skin color aside, Ayers and Obama had much in common. Both grew up in comfortable white households; attended idyllic, largely white prep schools; and have struggled to find an identity as righteous black men ever since."
Brilliant. Ann Coulter could have wrote that.

So -- what WE have here is a loser who the demorats took from nowhere and molded into a senator and president.....of course with the help of chicago demorats' strangle hold on Illinois....no coincidence he's from Chicago.
He says the "right" things when directed by a TelePrompTer that has been greased with contrived talking points for him to utter.....
Quite a show -- when you think about it. It's like a Greek tragedy (no disrespect to all Greek friends).

The shock which awakened many during the Denver debate was the same sort of jolt felt when viewers watched the NYT interview Caroline Kennedy, after she proclaimed her candidacy for the U.S. Senate. .... Without a script and a teleprompter, she sounded like a hip-hop, you know, teenager whose use, you know, of the English language, um, was noticeably, you know, slangy and immature.
The 'real' Obama is not much to behold.

Perhaps Obama's disaster in Denver will cause some to read Cashill's book and many articles where he documents his belief that Obama did not author DFMF. It's obvious that Obama is now and always has been , an inarticulate and dumb fraud. Lincoln and Reagan and both Bush presidents , in fact most presidents were able to speak extemporaneously. Obama cannot. Unless he's talking about basketball. Seriously. That's apparently the only subject that interests him. I reread the transcripts of the 2008 debates. Obama was just as inarticulate and unfamiliar with important topics as he was last week. He says a lot of words that go nowhere or are completely contradictory. His handlers are frantically spending the next 10 days trying to immerse him in world history, American history , economics, geopolitics , etc and in fact, his own administration policies. Which is an impossible task. For many reasons, chief among them is the empirical evidence that Obama is just not that bright. In addition , he's pathologically lazy , has never established a pattern of studying or shown any interest in anything other than sports , socialism and Islam.

Next debate, he's gotta be checked out for an implanted ear piece do he can hear Valerie Jaret's answers each second. See WAG THE DOG again, watch crazed Hollywood movie producer Dustin Hoffman dictate words form his California mansion, into the ear piece of a live TV newscaster in New York. In a matter of seconds, the words he dictates come out of the robot stupid newscasters mouth. That's the Phony's next desparate move.

Neither Bob Woodward nor any other big name "investigative journalists" in this country are fit to shine Jack Cashill's shoes.
God willing, our four year national nightmare will end on November 6th. I shall always remember how I survived these trying times: prayer, a little more bourbon than usual, Lucianne, and reading Jack Cashill's work.

The reason Obambi struggles in his debate responses is because his brain has the true philosophy of socialism imbedded in his neurons. When he forms his dialog it is in conflict with the imbedded thought and the outpouring from his mouth stumbles. If he were allowed to articulate his true thought he would be an outstanding, clear and concise orator. Listen carefully as he answers questions and you can hear the dichotomy.

He's the most overrated campaigner since the dawn of the electronic age of campaigning (the 1930's). Even his one strength, reading the prompter, is overrated. He's competent -- not great competent -- at one mood. The faux hesitant, faux spontaneous, glib presentation. Actually, he's not even competent at that anymore because it is so clear when he's doing it, he gives away the magician's trick. But that isn't the only mood one can have reading a prompter. Where is the heartfelt narrative Reagan did so well? Nowhere. Where is the damn the torpedoes full steam ahead driving of the rabble rouser that Teddy Kennedy or Jesse Jackson can do? Nowhere. Where is the "my dear fellow Americans" that almost any good American politician can do (Bill Clinton, even LBJ and George Bush)? Nowhere. And that's the telemprompter which is supposed to be his strength?

I'm not sure the fullest picture of a person can be determined by going back in time and analyzing past statements or words. Cahill relies heavily on this method, almost as if Obama were deceased and this is all he has to go on. Not all conversation rises to the eloquence of teleprompter speech and surely as the years pass, and dealing with so many verbal landlines as president, Obama has improved.
It could be, the guy is really nervous and blanks out when called to explain.

Re article references to the writing style of Dreams from my Father, which I cannot bear to read but others say is gorgeously written albeit probably by Ayers, wouldn't it be fun if Romney once president held a dinner for great American writers and invited Ayers? Because from what I hear, he captured something about what America is and wants and did it beautifully. He deserves to be a laureate of some kind.

For people who are pathological liars and also schooled in Marxist dogma, it is almost impossible for them to answer any question truthfully and without written preparation (think Tele-prompters). That was his main problem when Romney ran circles around him in Denver. Remember, Zero is used to lording it over a bunch of liberal yes men and women. He doesn't like to be questioned or opposed, especially by whites.
I wonder if mad scientists can implant Valerie Jarrett into his brain before the next debate. Probably not, but another poster is on to something when talking about an ear piece so someone can tell him what to say. They could put a microphone and speakers into one of those tin ears.
It's going to be a long month.

From the interview cited in the article: Obama: You know, I think--I'm sure that part of it had to do with the sense that my mother [Ann Dunham] had inculcated in me, which was being African American was a wonderful thing, you know, that it was special in some way. That the project we were engaged in that was transforming the country was a proud legacy to be a part of.
That admission alone explains his vanity and Royalty complex. He really believes he is something special, destined to transform the U.S.

Very interesing interview; FTA "You know, you'd see beggars on the streets with nothing and then generals in homes with five or six or ten cars, and so I think it made me acutely aware of the degree to which economic power and political power and social power can be skewed. And not because the poor were less deserving or the wealthy were smarter or more able, you know, but simply because they had been craftier, stronger or luckier, or more ruthless."
His childish view has never changed. He still confuses who the "rich and powerful" really are, and wants to set up the exact type of system he supposedly despises.

#10, I stopped using that term. He knows obamacare is a perjorative used to describe his socialist policy but he now twists it in his head and uses the term in his favor.
Obama mandate is also another perjorative, but will be twisted as well, meaning, he is forceful and deliberate. As a true narcissist, he is trying to neutralize the term and use it in his favor, specially if he wins re-election.
obama healthcare rations sounds better obama death panels (a la Sarah)
And whatever other obama + the negative descriptive is more appropiate.

Cashill's take on Obama--and Ayers--is one I agree with. I especially admire his work which theorizes that Ayers is the writer of DFMF.
I still think what I thought in 2008--the emperor's got no clothes on, and why doesn't everyone realize it?

It appears the Republican Party establishment and some conservative commentators have come up with another mistaken tactic to woo the low information and undecided voters. With the avalanche of scandals swirling around the Obama administration and the Democratic Party, the political message promoted by these politicians and pundits is that these scandals are the outcome of a government that has grown too large to control and should therefore be dramatically cut back.

The current abusive conduct by the IRS is breathtaking in its audacity. When you look at last Friday´s testimony Acting Commisioner Steven Miller there is a clear disconnect -- the doesn´t think anyone did anything illegal, unconstitutional, or even wrong. Apart from a stark posture of arrogance and negative body language, he represents a very large group of people we need to worry about. This guy is beyond zealotry -- he has gone straight to certainty that he is right, his actions are justified and he can´t be touched. He´s like Obama´s buddy Bill Ayers

Treasury Secretary Jack Lew on Friday urged congressional leaders to raise the debt limit and insisted that the White House is not going to negotiate over the increase because lawmakers have "no choice." "We will not negotiate over the debt limit," Lew wrote. "The creditworthiness of the United States is non-negotiable. The question of whether the country must pay obligations it has already incurred is not open to debate." Lew said that while President Obama is willing to discuss plans to reduce the nation´s deficit with Congress, those talks must be kept separate from any effort to raise the nation´s debt cap.

By all accounts, today´s college campuses grow more intolerant by the day. We move closer to the old Soviet Empire, where political dissidents risked the gulag for even joking about Marxism. In the U.S., however, the hate crimes concern anything that touches on race, ethnicity, gender differences, diversity, and sexuality (see here and here). Even an old-fashioned ethnic joke almost guarantees mandatory counseling. Skeptics need only look at the pervasiveness of campus speech codes, coerced sensitivity training, the mandatory injection of multicultural propaganda into courses, and other top-down censorship.

BALTIMORE — Trying to reset the agenda amid scandal in Washington, President Barack Obama turned his attention Friday to the economy and said lawmakers should spend every day resolute on how to help it grow and get people back to work. “Our focus cannot drift,” he said. After a week that put him on the defensive and consumed by a trio of political controversies, Obama left the turmoil behind on a short helicopter flight about 40 miles north to Baltimore. The city has had its share of tough times in its move from an industrial to service economy

"We´ve seen rage and violence directed at American embassies over an awful Internet video that we had nothing do to with," said Hillary Clinton to the families of the four Americans killed at Benghazi and others gathered at a September 2012 memorial service. Her boss, President Barack Obama, had been reciting the same lie in one forum after another in the days following the September 11 attack on the American outpost in Benghazi. To give the lie credence, his Justice Department immured the producer of the video, a Coptic Christian named Nakoula Basseley Nakoula, in a West Texas prison.

Washington rumor has it that Obama wants to be U.N. Secretary General. There are several reasons that make that likely, and if it´s true, it throws new light on a lot of Obama´s oddities -- including his Royalty Bows, his Apology Tours, his Muslim Sellout, and the Benghazi Cover-Up. But first -- why would Obama be planning to become the chief of the U.N. before he has even finished his second term?

On Wednesday, Drummer Lee Rigby of the Royal Regiment of Fusiliers, a man who had served Queen and country honorably in the hell of Helmand Province in Afghanistan, emerged from his barracks on Wellington Street, named after the Duke thereof, in southeast London. Minutes later, he was hacked to death in broad daylight and in full view of onlookers by two men with machetes who crowed "Allahu Akbar!" as they dumped his carcass in the middle of the street like so much roadkill.

It’s good for me to keep up on what’s going on around here.” “It’s not good when I turn on the news and they’re talking about something at the White House and I’m like, whoa, when did that happen?”

Abuse Of Power: Any scandal investigation that expects a "Eureka!" moment, a White House e-mail, or Oval Office smoking gun will be misguided. In fact, the dots are already connected directly to the president. Barack Obama is not foolish enough to have a tape recording system hidden in his desk. And his administration staff are not careless enough to send one another incriminating e-mails. If the president was behind the IRS unlawfully harassing conservative groups seeking tax-exempt status, we can be sure the communications were all sotto voce and in persona, like any good Chicago political operator.

The murder of a soldier in south London on Wednesday has prompted fears of a backlash against British Muslims after the English Defence League staged an impromptu rally in the capital and two mosques were attacked. The BNP leader, Nick Griffin, has also reacted to the killing with provocative tweets calling for a protest in Woolwich and claiming the crime is the result of "mass immigration". Farooq Murad of the Muslim Council of Britain said the EDL´s rally in London on Wednesday night was cause for concern. "When attacks like these happen there´s always the danger of far-right extremism
