Obama is less of a person than an image -- a brand. People see whatever they want as they do on a Rorschach test. But does anyone really know him?
In fact, he is:
* An empty suit.
* A man with no birth certificate.
* A man who was deserted in childhood by his biological
father.
* A man whose birth records, both in the United States
and Kenya, are sealed by government order.
* A man whose childhood mentor, Frank Marshall Davis,
spied on U.S. military installations in Hawaii for the
Soviet Union, edited a communist newspaper, authored
pornographic novels, and wrote poetry in praise of
Joseph Stalin.
* A man mentored by and still supported by radical Muslims.
* A man who promised transparency in government, but has
spent over a million dollars in legal fees hiding
information that would determine his eligibility to be
President.
* A former drug user.
* A man whose academic records are sealed from
kindergarten through law school.
* A man who arrived in New York in June of 1981 without
enough money to get a hotel room, but one month later
flew to Indonesia and Pakistan.
* Why did he go?
* Who paid his expenses?
* A man who traveled to Pakistan when it was illegal for
U.S. citizens to do so. So what country's passport did
he use?
* A man whose Law School Admission Test scores and
grades at Columbia University are known to have been
mediocre, but was admitted to Harvard Law School
through the intervention of a Saudi named Khalid
al-Mansour.
* A law review editor who never published an article in
any law review.
* A lawyer with no significant accomplishments in the
law and no reputation in the legal community.
* A former State and U.S. Senator, who never authored a
piece of legislation.
* A disciple of the Marxist Saul Alinsky.
* A product of the Chicago political machine -- the most
corrupt political organization in America.
* A man who selects Marxists, corrupt politicians and
criminals as his close political associates and
personal friends.
* A man whose presidential candidacy was endorsed by the
Democratic Socialists of America, the Socialist
International and the Workers International League.
* A man lauded for the literary brilliance of two
memoirs, both of which were ghostwritten by others.
* A so-called Christian who says that knowing when human
life begins is "above his pay-grade," but somehow
knows that abortion is permissible at any stage.
* A man who thinks "waterboarding" is immoral, but that
partial-birth abortion is moral.
* A man who publicly laments slavery in America -- which
was abolished 150 years ago -- but praises Islam,
which still practices both slavery and the sexual
mutilation of young girls.
* A man who speaks endlessly about helping the less
fortunate, but gives almost none of his sizeable
income to charity -- not even to his half-brother, who
is living in squalor in Kenya.
* A man who had the most left-wing voting record in the
United State Senate, but was predicted by the press to
"govern from the middle."
* A man who has never created a job, met a payroll, or
even operated a lemonade stand, but wants to tell
Detroit how to make cars.
* A President who has never before served as an
executive in either the private or the public sector.
* A Commander-in-Chief who doesn't know how to shoot a
rifle, throw a hand-grenade, drive a tank, fly a plane
or con a ship.
* A Commander-in-Chief who has publicly divulged some of
our nation's most important intelligence secrets.
* A man who has been put in charge of the largest
economic engine that ever existed, but has never
invested in the stock market and admits total
ignorance of it.
* A President who says that science will guide his
administration, but has no education in the sciences.
* A man who is proficient in reading what is written for
him on a teleprompter, but jerks and stammers his way
through any off-the-cuff speaking.
* A man whose health records are sealed from childhood
to the present day.
* A man whose educational records are sealed from
childhood through law school.
* A man who spent 20 years in a church whose pastor
espouses Marxist Liberation Theology,
anti-Americanism, anti-capitalism, and anti-Semitism,
but claims he never heard his pastor utter
anti-American and anti-Semitic statements.
* A man who added more to the National Debt in 100 days
than all other Presidents did in the past 220 years,
yet feels qualified to lecture Americans about "fiscal
responsibility".
* A man who publicly expressed disdain for the U.S.
Constitution on a Chicago radio station because it limited
the government's ability to "redistribute wealth."
* The first American President to bow before a foreign
head of state -- a Muslim dictator.
* A man who sits and listens submissively while his
country is castigated by Daniel Ortega -- a Communist
thug whose own daughter accused him of raping her.
* A narcissist who gave the Queen of England a present
from the United States -- an iPod containing
recordings of his own speeches.
* A man, who wanted Americans to ignore his Muslim name
during his election campaign, yet boasts of his Muslim
name when he travels to Muslim countries.
* A man who can name hundreds of America's shortcomings,
yet none of its great accomplishments.
* A President who claims the moral high ground by
closing Gitmo yet supports the transfer of terror
suspects to countries where horrific torture is certain.

yet acted to nationalize the auto industry, the
banking industry, and the insurance industry . . . and
now seeks to nationalize the healthcare industry.
* A President who violates private property rights, the
sanctity of contracts, and the rule of law -- three
essential principles that go back over a thousand
years in the Common Law tradition.
* A man who promised 95% of all Americans a tax cut, but
is increasing taxes on 100% of the population through
inflation -- the cruelest tax of all.
* A lawyer who represented ACORN -- an organization now
indicted in several states for voter fraud -- whose
stated goal is to get as many people on welfare as
possible in order to destroy our financial system.

their property to the UAW in a political payoff.

own country when speaking in foreign countries, but
never praises America's generosity, goodness or
greatness.

his taxes -- as did several other appointees and
advisors.

100 trillion dollars, wants to add the greatest debt
ever by nationalizing healthcare.
* A President who scoffs at being called a socialist,
yet has appointed 28 "Czars" to circumvent
constitutional government, including:

abortions for American women and the "surrender of
sovereignty" to a "comprehensive Planetary Regime."
* A self-professed communist as his "Green Jobs Czar."
* A "Pay Czar" to regulate the pay of corporate executives.

pro-lifers, veterans, and supporters of traditional

Israel and Honduras.

must now be described as "man-made disasters."

while rogue nations are developing long-range
ballistic missiles.

Mexico on America.
* A Commander in Chief who claims to have been unaware
that Air Force One was taken on a terrifying,
low-level photo-op over Manhattan.

private planes at private expense on company business,
but whose wife spends hundreds of thousands of tax
payer dollars flying to Paris for a shopping spree.

but requires all questions be screened before
"impromptu" appearances.

designed to bankrupt the American coal industry.

million jobs and whose "energy policy" will cause the
loss of another 1 million jobs.

average American's utility bills by over $2,000 a year
in the middle of the Great Recession.
* A man about whom liberal journalist Tom Brokaw said,
"There's a lot about him we don't know." . . . just
one week before the election.
The vast majority of Americans do not know who he is, but someone surely does. Someone paid for his travel expenses to Pakistan and Indonesia. Someone engineered legal challenges to all of his election opponents for the State Senate and had them disqualified. Someone straightened and leveled his path to the U.S. Senate when a Democrat Judge made public the child custody records of his Republican opponent. When he was a candidate for the U.S. Senate, someone arranged for him to speak at the 2004 Democrat National Convention.
Someone saw to it that all of his records were sealed, both at home and abroad. Someone assembled the massive organization for his run for the Presidency. Someone knows all about him.
Who?
