I officially retired from the US Army on 1 August 2004 and vividly recall sitting and watching the 2004 Democratic National Committee convention. At that convention, a fella named Barack Hussein Obama gave the keynote speech. He had just become a State Senator in Illinois. Angela and I listened to a rousing, emotional, rhetorical speech using the southern pastoral iambic pentameter rhythm and said to each other...this is the guy the Democrats are going to run for President. We were correct in our assessment from 2004. We all witnessed a meteoric rise of someone whom we had no idea of who they were. As a matter of fact, Obama once

A very good description of the arc of the last 16 years in America. Let's hope his prognosis for the "diddleass" character is correct.

When Obama got involved with the incident involving his friend, Prof. Henry Louis Gates, and the Cambridge police, I knew he was a lying SOB. All his talk of 'coming together' and 'unity' went right out the window. If you do something stupid, oh, like go on vacation and forget your house keys and then decide to break into your own house (prompting a call to the police by concerned neighbors), one should not defy the cops when they ask for ID to, you know, verify that you are the owner of the home you're breaking into, and instead berate them (A BLACK MAN CAN'T OWN A HOME?) for doing their job looking out for you. And yet Obama got involved, in the semi-famous Beer Summit. I hope that the police officer who showed up for that explained how suspicious it looks for ANYONE to break into a house and then cry racism! when asked for proof. Obama was not what he said he was going to be-I think he was a plant, a frontman....a FRAUD.

Read every word of this. Allen West knows the Barack Obama that many of us saw from the beginning, a muslim communist tool of Mohammed and Karl Marx who fooled some of the people some of the time. He crashed and burned and will not be heard from again anytime soon.

Excellent article. Thank you for posting. One thing he omitted: Unless Obama repents, when he crashes - he will also burn.

The media outdid themselves hiding Obama and making sure no one had any idea who this man was.
Barrack Hussein was the first non-American ever place in the White House.
His birth certificate is as phony as his loyalty to Joe Biden.
Harry Truman had his number, and the number for most politicians.

One of the best pieces I have read about this Kenyan-borne con man! It depressed me to see how he was practically worshipped on the way to his first presidency. So many, many fools in this country got him in.

"...I listened to a rousing, emotional, rhetorical speech using the southern pastoral iambic pentameter rhythm..."
This is why I never listened to any of obama's speeches. Instead, I read them all. When I took his style of reading the teleprompter out of the equation, his speeches said nothing. But at least he could read a teleprompter. Biden and Harris can't even do that effectively.
obama set the stage for the "fundamental change" of America and if Hillary had won, America would look nothing like the Founders envisioned. Hell, obama did enough damage and Biden was able to salvage enough of the obama tempo that it's almost unrecognizable now. Imagine if there had not been the Trump break between the two administrations. Now imagine if obama gets a chance, using Harris, to get a 4th administration. Given the path we're on, like Venezuela, our zoos will be emptied out for food. And that's not hyperbole.

Unfortunately, he is young enough he will be sneaking his communism in for many years to come, through his minions in the house and senate if not the presidency. Nobody with the power to stop it seems interested in doing so.
I do hope I live long enough to see the truth about his husband revealed.

So much wishful thinking. The left - far more than its counterpoint - has waged a war of attrition for decades. If we think they'll fold should Trump win again you haven't been paying attention. Like the Israelis with Hamas there is no room for a two-state solution since our enemies will be happy with nothing less than the end of America as founded and ALL of us in thrall to their absolute and permanent power. If Trump wins that will be a battle won but the war will rage on and with even more anger. Hold on to your hats people and make sure your seatbelts are securely fastened. The ride is about to start.

FTA - "Perhaps if Obama had a real American Dad like mine who, born in 1920, endured tough times, served his country in World War II, and set an example as a strong Black man role model, he would not be experiencing the fall."
Obie, you are well past your sell-by date, pal. Like I keep telling you, get busy and start working on that retirement hut in Kenya. You aren't relevant here. Never was.

I was in Michigan when Obozo became president the first time. Almost all of the clueless idiots were as happy as hell at work the next day. I on the other hand flat out said there goes the country. I had heard enough about Obozo to see right through the fakeness. Now, get ready for Obozo II because they are grooming the next Obozo here in Maryland. Wes Moore is a taller version of Obozo with military experience. Those are the only differences between Obozo and Moore. Moore looks like him, acts like him, and speaks like him. The same halting speaking manner. The same turning of the head while speaking, and he's taken a billion-dollar state surplus that was left by former governor Larry Hogan and turned it into a deficit in less than a year. The national exposure he received from the Bridge collapse in Baltimore helped him get invited to the White House and get national exposure by attending some democratic something. He was right by Shumer's side front and center with only three other democrats. All of whom are national figures in the democrat party.

Lieutenant Colonel West reminds us that Obama was the first president who didn't leave the federal district after his two terms were up, the better to keep exercising political power and turn America into the USSA, or United Soviet Socialist America, as his childhood communist mentor Frank Marshall Davis (CPUSA card #47544) taught him to think.
Re #12: On September 26 Hurricane Helene absolutely devastated low lying coastal areas of West Florida. Anyone living in Flood Zone A in an ancient ranch style house (one floor, a flat, no longer legal to build in Flood Zone A for obvious reasons) would have been in danger of drowning in the nine to ten foot storm surge. And some did drown in their bedrooms. Tampa, farther away from the storm's center some 25 miles to our east, got a 6.9 foot storm surge, the greatest since 1921. Before the electricity went out, my neighbor across the way said that my front door was invisible behind the storm surge topped by waves. The seawater reached the fifth step above my foyer. My living area above was okay, so I got lucky the front door held and didn't blow in. A fifty foot section of boardwalk was deposited across our driveway. Heavy carport walls were left around the property, effortlessly moved from where they should have been. Cars left in carports just floated away. It absolutely slays me that people believe that humanity has anything to do with this seasonal weather. Humanity is weak and insignificant. We are still here because we haven't yet been swept away. And algoresh thinks "the world hathh a fever"--no, Al, you're completely nuts, and are among the most misanthropic people on earth, wrong about almost everything you say out loud. Go bag your head, Al.

I have often pondered, is it Obama or some shadow behind him? We know the money pipeline, but neither Obama nor his wife seemed all that smart to me.

Terrific article, OP. Col. West nails The Messiah to a tee, and then ends on a hopeful note describing Obama’s political demise as a done deal. If I never had to see or hear the dreaded Kenyan again, I would be one happy camper.

I wish I had Allen West's optimism. I really like Allen West, but don't know if we're actually through with the magic Kenyan or not. When President Trump is restored to the White House, and "people" like Hussein are actually being penalized for their criminal activities, then I'll say Hussein has fallen. The Enemedia alone will be difficult to overcome if any of this begins, and don't forget the demonrat destroyers around the country. Head winds will be so strong if we ever start to right the country, hurricanes will be considered child's play in comparison.

I must give thanks to Sean Hannity for explaining Obama to me! I was living in Long Island when Obama was running for president. Many New Yorkers were swayed by Obama’s rhetoric but didn't know much about him. Hannity continually brought up Obama’s pastor, Wright, and I started seeing Obama in a true light. Obama pushed his own pastor away so he could lie about his past, and true intentions for the future. Hannity was right about Obama, and I am glad I never voted for him.

Also re #12: Hurricane Milton, which we saw as potentially a greater threat than Helene, came ashore just south of Sarasota (Siesta Key, about 75 miles south of here, as the crow flies) as a major hurricane, reducing top wind speed from 180 to 130, but widening as Katrina had, moving west to east across the state. Wind gusts got to 90 or more here--over 100 at St. Petersburg forty miles south, ripping the roof off Tropicana Field, the TB Rays' home.
Milton could have hit anywhere from Naples to Cedar Key. As the storm approached, no motels were available west of Lakeland, so I wound up in Orlando for three nights. Rainfall in Central Florida was ridiculous on Wednesday, October 9, with between twelve and eighteen inches falling from coast to coast that afternoon and night. After 11:00 Friday morning check out, I headed back to the west coast to see if my place had been damaged further. (It hadn't, as things turned out.) The car trip home, undertaken in my low slung (5.9" road clearance) '03 Honda S2000, was for the ages, only a day and a half after Milton had rambled through. Bear with me. You might find this interesting.
Interstate 4 West going to Tampa was a veritable parking lot. I made five miles in twenty minutes. Normally a two hour trip from the Disney World area back to Pinellas County, my phone navigation said four hours and asked if I wanted an alternate route. I took it, exiting I-4 at The Wide wide World of Sports (a Slim Pickens reference there) and going through the back of the WDW property, eventually winding my way to US 27, on the edge of the massive Green Swamp, headwaters for five major Florida rivers. Two miles north of I-4, I was directed to turn right onto Deen Still Road, a narrow 2-lane road with no shoulders running fourteen miles almost due east-west from US 27 to the slight left turn onto even narrower Rock Ridge Road, then ten miles southwest to US 98. Never in my life have I seen so much water on land. To my north and south all one could see was flooded land, barns, trailers, and houses under several feet of standing water. A Polk County deputy, blue light flashing, was parked in the middle of Dean Still Road, guarding a late model Dodge Challenger 6.4 hemi with racing stripe. The Hemi was waterlogged, dead. Would I soon be, too? Almost immediately, I got into so much water--6" to 12"-- I had to drop down into first or second gear, rev the engine, and try to plow through the deep water until it shallowed somewhet. During the 24 miles on Deen Still-Rock Ridge, I went through at least deep twenty-five washouts in the road, and my car cut off three times in the deep water, tachometer falling alarmingly to zero. Each time, my blessed little Honda refired, I revved the hell out of it and plowed on in first. Once an SUV, passing going the other direction, slung such a heavy 200 pound curtain of water into my windshield--WHAM!--that I though the windshield would give way. Then after the interminable trip through Florida's Green Swamp (between I-75 and US 27), US 98 had another complete washout that was a foot deep. It just wouldn't stop. "Water, water, everywhere" as Coleridge write in his Rime of the Ancient Mariner. I've learned a lot about water in the last month. Like Addie Bundren's coffin, my Honda made it though the flood. Thatisall.

Obama was only a placeholder for a real president, no real qualifications or experience, sketchy education and citizenship credentials, no accomplishments and raised primarily in a third world Muslim country. Everybody knew this. Obama was the first DEI national political candidate, nothing more. Everybody knew this. Obama was supported by a fawning media, determined to portray him in the best Hollywood style. Everybody knew this. Obama never uttered a memorable speech. Everybody knew this. Today the mantra of hope and change is the byline of the opposition. Obama didn’t fly to close to the sun, he never had any wings. Without the pomp and ceremony he looks just like an over the hill politician struggling for relevance.

That was one fine posting by LtCol West in reviewing all the reasons I wish the Obama era would fizzle out. I still reflect on the disappointing performance by Romney in the second debate after having Obama on the ropes the first time out.

My gosh, #15 and #22. That's quite a story. Print a hard copy of your story for history. And thanks for your time to recollect and share the details.
My buddy, Gary, has his place in Fort Myers near the Caloosatchee River where part of it turns into the Deep Lagoon Canal. His house took in sea water again from Milton, but not as much as from Ian two years ago. His son shrink-wrapped the outside wall of the house before Milton arrived and this seemed to help prevent the back sliding door and front door from blowing in. Gary just turned 80 so of course not thrilled about doing another renovation. He's down there now. Mostly just flooring, some furniture, and dry wall to replace. I told him, after he gets done with the demolition exercise to swab down the sub-floor and walls that got wet from the sea water with a dilute bleach solution to prevent mold and mildew.
Staff, appreciate your allowing this brief conversation.

I call that "preacher voice." I don't like preacher voice, even when a preacher is using it.
And I especially don't like when a politician is using it. it's like fingernails on a chalkboard.

Next to blaspheming the Holy Spirit, pride is the worst sin there is --- the root of all evil. As we all know 0bama oozes pride and arrogance through every pore of his body. I have every confidence in what Allen West says here. 0bama will indeed fall and fall soon and HARD because Someone does have him in His crosshairs. His judgments always fit the crimes so I expect his fall will be very public and very spectacular so as to be known worldwide. Everyone will finally find out what a corrupt poser he has always been (and not nearly as "brilliant" as the media reports him as being.) That day will come.

I think Obama finally did himself in with his attempts to scold REAL black men in his anemic support of Kamala. He is a failure as a president as well as a man. I think the wrong guy drowned in the pond on Martha's Vineyard. Thanks for that narrative, #22. It makes the snowstorm experiences that we have up north look like childs play.
