Well I guess those chickens are finally coming home to roost for Mr. Obama. I've got to laugh when I hear him point out that "people are really being 'unfair' to (him)". I mean, is he kidding us? This guy has been handled with kid gloves wrapped in silk since the day he crawled out of whatever hole he'd been in, and now, just because some Americans are concerned about a few legitimate issues...and are daring to question the great one, he feels he's being "persecuted".
During rendition of the national anthem when the flag is displayed, all present except those in uniform should stand at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart. Men not in uniform should remove their headdress with their right hand and hold it at the left shoulder, the hand being over the heart. -- United States Code, Title 36, Chapter 10, Sec. 171 "I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America and to the Republic for which it stands one nation under God indivisible with liberty and justice for all."... Evidently Barak doesn't have quite the conviction of those words that we should expect...no, DEMAND of our president.
I mentioned these pictures that have been making their way around the internet at an increasing pace lately way back in the beginning of my postings (scroll down), but their relevance takes on new meaning in light of certain associations of this clown. Let's just all be honest here...what has this guy even brought to the table except some undefined, constantly shifting vision of "hope"? I've got to second the sentiment of Geraldine Ferraro, if he weren't black, he'd already be history.
Just the fact that it's even rumored that Obama had a friendship with William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn., members of The Weather Underground, A TERRORIST ORGANIZATION, is startling. I mean, this guy could (God help us) very well be our next president. Here's where I know my fellow Americans who continue to support him have simply LOST THEIR MINDS, it ain't just a rumor, folks...Barak's confirmed the relationship. WTF? On top of that, we've got video of his pastor, I'm sorry, his "mentor", trashing this country and everything it stands for. We have documented statements from Obama's mouth where he blatantly puts down his white grandmother (the only person who didn't abandon him).
I've got, what I consider to be, in my opinion, a rather good theory on that. I once dated a guy who was adopted. Some jerk got his mom pregnant, when she notified him about the baby, the guy did a cut and run. Never even laid eyes on his son. The girl moved home with her parents and raised the boy until he was three. She finally decided one day that she couldn't hack it anymore and gave him up for adoption. The boy gets adopted by a large family in Nebraska who raise him into adulthood.
To me, it seemed, they provided every luxury of life for him. Even if they didn't...they took an orphan in, gave him food, gave him shelter...gave him a name. The boy hates these people. He left their home at 18 and has never gone back. He eventually found his birth mother when they both went looking for each other that same year and they have a casual relationship, but he has never found his real father.
His "father" has never come looking for him and it's funny, it's his birth father that he places on the pedestal. To him, his birth father is the one who is above reproach, the one with no culpability in the whole thing. Here's my thinking on it. His birth father rejected him from the start, so that was the love he needed the most. He couldn't understand why his "father" would not want him, so my ex built up this God-like myth of a man to represent his "father". It was easier for him to endure the belief that he wasn't good enough to be embraced by a God, rather than just a man. And since he never met the guy, he's never had to dispel that notion.
His birth mother accepted him for a while, then rejected him, so when they finally met up, he was more angry than awed. There was a lot of, 'why wasn't I good enough for you', resentment. I think, because of that, he saw his mother as a human being. A flesh and blood person capable of mistakes and although he desired her love and acceptance, receiving it, to him, wasn't akin to a fantasy. His adoptive parents chose him. They accepted him, unconditionally, from the word 'go'. He never had to work for their love, it was never something that existed only within the bounds of his imagination. Subsequently, he resented them. Probably as a child (which is what he was when they adopted him), in his child's heart and mind, he blamed them for the loss of his parents.
He never saw them as the people who helped him pick up the pieces, he viewed them as the ones who caused the plate to break. Further more, with Obama, he seems so willing to embrace his African heritage while at the same time, renouncing the 50% of Caucasian blood that courses through him. He's referenced his grandmother's racism. Now, I have a damn hard time accepting that this woman was a racist considering she was the ONLY one willing to take him in and raise him. Where did his paternal grandparents go? You know, the father's parents, the ones who weren't racists?
Listen, this is just how things are, ask any mixed-race person. When you're bi-racial and you're with white people, of course you feel black and when you're with black people, you're considered white. If it was the black grandparents who stuck around and he was brought up in a predominately African atmosphere, trust me, he'd be attending some backwood inbred radical KKK church in the lowlands of Arkansas and we'd be watching video of his pastor giving a sermon with a hood over his head.
And in case you're wondering how I can purport to understand such things; the ex I referenced was biracial. He had a Caucasian mother and a "father" from North Africa. So yes, I'm afraid Geraldine was right, he's survived because he's black. Not to discount the fact that people view him as this Kennedy-like orator. By all accounts, to be fair, he actually is. That is, unless, he is delivering one of his denial or, as I like to call them, his 'tempering the fury' speeches (which he's been giving at an alarmingly increasing rate lately). In the case of his mollification speeches, if you watch with unbiased eyes, he stutters and stammers and pauses and vacillates.
Granted, he is trying to defend the indefensible, but that's even more of a reason why he's got no business being where he is. I mean, let's even go back to the lapel flag thing. Barak explained that he hasn't worn the flag lapel in "a very long time". He's said, "I decided I won’t wear that pin on my chest. I haven’t probably worn that pin in a very long time. I wore it right after 9/11. But after a while, you start noticing people wearing a lapel pin, but not acting very patriotic.
Shortly after 9/11, particularly because as we’re talking about the Iraq war, that became a substitute for, I think, true patriotism, which is speaking out on issues that are of importance to our national security. Instead I’m gonna’ try to tell the American people what I believe what will make this country great and hopefully that will be a testimony to my patriotism.”
Huh? Sounds like a bunch of bullshit rhetoric to me. The truth of it is that Barak is part of the radical left. These are the people that truly despise America, somewhere inside them they think America is fundamentally wrong. That they've been done dirty, done in or done out, somehow ill served by this country. They want retribution for some indefinable offense committed against them or their kind. You know, all those people who were moving to Canada if Bush got re-elected. Apparently, all of their flights got delayed, because as far as I can tell, none of them left. Maybe they just realized that, even taking into account our flaws, no other country will ever afford them more opportunity, more freedom, (and no here's one for all you Obama girls) more hope than where they are now. How many other countries do people risk their lives crossing oceans on homemade rafts to sneak into? Our new motto should be: America: You don't love it; you're free to leave.
That's about all I wanted to get off my chest, but I'll leave you with this one last thing: I think Obama is the one exploiting the race card. He's trading on his interracial status as an answer to his complete lack of qualification. It's almost like, he thinks if he can redirect the spotlight from competence to inequity, he'll sway enough voters based on political posturing.
He views us as so easily manipulated, so simple and easily lead. He's an elitist who hates 50% of the population he seeks to preside over and truly believes all 100% of us, whether black or white are just a bunch of intellectual greenhorns. As always comments and discussion are encouraged.
