The Obama Factor

Original Article

Posted By: Hazymac, 8/4/2023 2:11:37 PM

There is a fascinating passage in Rising Star, David Garrow’s comprehensive biography of Barack Obama’s early years, in which the historian examines Obama’s account in Dreams from My Father of his breakup with his longtime Chicago girlfriend, Sheila Miyoshi Jager. In Dreams, Obama describes a passionate disagreement following a play by African American playwright August Wilson, in which the young protagonist defends his incipient embrace of Black racial consciousness against his girlfriend’s white-identified liberal universalism. As readers, we know that the stakes of this decision would become more than simply personal: The Black American man that Obama wills into being in this scene would go on to marry

FTA: That Obama might enjoy serving as a third-term president in all but name, running the government from his iPhone, was a thought expressed in public by Obama himself, both before and after he left office. “I used to say if I can make an arrangement where I had a stand-in or front man or front woman, and they had an earpiece in, and I was just in my basement in my sweats looking through the stuff, and I could sort of deliver the lines while someone was doing all the talking and ceremony,” he told Steven Colbert in 2015, “I’d be fine with that because I found the work fascinating.” Even with all these clues, the Washington press corps—fresh off their years of broadcasting fantasies about secret communications links between Trump Tower and the Kremlin—seemed unable to imagine, let alone report on, Obama’s role in government. Possible? Think about it.

Bottom line: Obama is still ruining America and we are still paying him and paying for his Secret Service. Wish someone would do a stake out at his house in DC and let us know who comes and goes. We all know Biden is not capable of running anything including his own mouth and yet we are paying him too. I just read that Biden has taken 365 days of vacation since he has been in office. That means that Obama has been in charge for a year.

FTA - " Obama was never the leader of much of anything, neither during the Trump years nor now. Instead, he was focused on buying trophy properties, hanging out with billionaires, and vacationing on private yachts while grifting large checks from marks like Spotify and Netflix—even if his now-stratospheric levels of personal vanity also demanded that every so often he show up President Biden for the sin of occupying his chair in the White House." The Real Big Guy. Obie, so where did your money wealth come from, pal?

What a long long read. But if one wants to better understand the real Obie and who he is, understand the hollowness of his being. It is all a fraud and a fake. Funny though his mentoring under Alinsky and Frank Marshall Davis in the ideological sense, is not mentioned.

There's a lot of good information in this essay and interview. It's worth your time. The author isn't infallible, though. FTA: "At bottom, Rising Star is a tragic story about a young man who was deeply wounded by the abandonment of both his white mother and his Black father—a wound that gifted him with political genius and at the same time made him the victim of a profound narcissism that first whispered to him in his mid-twenties that he was destined to be president." Obama is a reliable domestic enemy of America, and of Israel for the benefit of Iran, for some reason, for the leftist world, but he's far from any kind of genius. Rather middling in IQ points. If he were brilliant he would have given us extemporaneous evidence which he could never provide. He just has ill intentions, and the will to work them out on a country he always hated, and still tries "to fundamentally transform."

Agree with Hazy on author. Read with your own filters in place. This deeply flawed person should nevr have been elected to any office. He is not someone to be pitied. He brought our country to a low that only a clear-eyed mature man who recognizeed what he was up to could possibly neutralize it and reverse it. And so he hates and fears Donald Trump. Obama loved the noition of being an exotic, mysterious, inscrutable and all that hokum. The young women were “beards”. Nothing more. Accessories in his con job...

Somewhere in this long article, the press is labeled as Obama fanboys, a good description. There is also confirmation that Obama is sexually attracted to men, written in his own words in a letter. But no one linked Obama to the sudden rise of the gay mafia and the sudden (in historical timelines) emphasis on LGBTQ issues. Recall that Obama's good friend in HI was arrested for soliciting a prostitute, a male prostitute. Also recall that a HS classmate reported that the "choom gang" were gay guys and that his "nanny" in Indonesia was a tyranny. So all this invasion of women's sports and locker rooms can probably be traced back to Obama's influence. Almost every bad American trend in this quarter century is linked to Obama. Interview part in last half of article has a lot of interesting facts about MLK which are not in the press because they are mostly salacious and we cannot desecrate Democrat idols.

FTA: “ His problems are now our problems, as much as Donald Trump’s are.” Obama’s problems are our problems, but Donald Trump is the solution to them. Just as Obama hates this country because of its exceptionalism, PDT loves it because he recognizes its exceptionalism. The founding of this country was nothing short of a miracle and I believe God blessed. The principles were grounded in Judeo-Christian values which have served us well until we welcomed the socialist elites from Europe to come here after WWII. Then everything began to change until it culminated in the arrival of Barack Hussein Obama, the radical leftist messiah who would fundamentally transform the country. Obama is very aware of the part he has played in the destruction of this country. He laid all the ground work and left the real destruction to the next leader, Hillary Clinton, but that did not work out the way these radicals had planned it. Donald Trump walked in and presented a vision for the future that the American people found more to their liking than Obama’s transformation. And that is why he and the rest of his fellow travelers hate President Trump. The Cold War we believed had been won during the Reagan years is alive and well and as real as when Nikita Khrushchev declared as he pounded his shoe on a table, we will bury you! Obama and his cabal just took another tack. They decided to do it from within which is why Obama filled the government with his people and created a race division that had been actually coming together before Obama stoked that fire. Obama intended to remake this country in his vision and he knew very well what chaos he could create with racial division. Everything he did he did stealthily and he left office as he entered with a lot of good will from some people. He would let Hillary be the face of the destruction that was to come, but that’s when PDT disrupted his plan. He intended to undo everything Obama put into place therefore, he had to be destroyed by the very people Obama had entrenched deep in the bureaucracy. From before the moment President Trump took office, Obama was dedicated to destroying him. Watching Trump succeed must have been horrific for the boy king and he and his minions decided then, Trump could not win re-election and set about do whatever was necessary to prevent that and they did. Joe Biden then moved into Hillary Clinton’s role and proceeded to do the dismantling of the Republic. They have so stacked the judiciary that it nigh to impossible to expect anything but conviction. This is the legacy of BHO. He gets his way without one bit of blame for all of this administration’s lawlessness. He remains above it all when, in fact, he is the author of it all.

Well... I wouldn't confer political or any other kind of "genius" on Hussein. The ability to read a Teleprompter in a baritone voice was the only gift he had. He does love the limelight, though. Zhoa is not running the country, that's for sure. But to think an ex-President has this kind of power is a little too much to believe.

fta: ". . . But the D.C. press was no longer in the business of maintaining transparency. Instead they had become servants of power, whose job was to broadcast whatever myths helped advance the interests of the powerful." The list is long of those in media who have become servants of power, in addition to those in D.C. That's why alternative media is so successful. They know that we can "handle the truth". I sometimes wonder if those spouting The News on the networks (sometimes catch a snippet on alternative media) even care that they are not telling the truth. N.B. never, ever, could understand what were Obama's redeeming qualities.

The woke Biden Justice Department is attempting to silence former President Trump, arguing his Truth Social posts are threatening. On Friday night, Prosecutors asked U.S. District Court Judge Tanya Chutkan to issue a protective order after Trump warned on his social media account, "If you go after me, I'm coming after you!" The protective order would limit the information Trump and his legal team would be allowed to share publicly about the case. According to prosecutors, such an order is "particularly important" in this case because the former president has posted on social media about "witnesses, judges, attorneys, and others associated with legal matters pending against him."

Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell spoke Saturday at the Fancy Farm picnic, one of Kentucky’s classic political events, but his remarks were largely drowned out by jeers from the Democratic side of the crowd, who stomped their feet and yelled, “RETIRE,” and “DITCH MITCH” as he spoke. McConnell’s appearance at the picnic comes amid recent questions about his health and political future. Late last month, he froze mid-sentence during a press conference in the US Capitol and had to be led away from the podium by his fellow senators and his aides. The Republican leader, 81, later returned and answered questions from the press, telling CNN’s Manu Raju, “I’m fine.”
