You cannot have a demigod without an enthusiastic press to bury the frailties and feed the myth. His own propaganda, that of the democrat party and the greater press/media were phenomenal.

Nothing is worse than when his own believers become the wiser. Like when the beasts of Dr. Moreau discovered that he did indeed bleed. That potential is great now and Obama's personality cannot cope with even the slightest loss of appeal. That day likely won't come before the election, but it can and will happen.

Our best best bet, unfortunately, is to hope for bad times.>>

Bad times are already here but the Government statistics on inflation

and unemployment are fudged to make it appear that the economy

is improving.

Yours was one of the best posts on the subject of Obama. The division is scary. I may leave this country. I don't have the courage to not raise my arm like the German in that photo.

A COMMIE IN THE WHITE HOUSE Obama – Saul Alinsky's star student

Exclusive: Mychal Massie sees BHO's hand in delay of Trayvon Martin outrage


by Mychal Massie 4/9/2012
http://www.wnd.com/2012/04/obama-saul-alinskys-star-student/

Mychal Massie is chairman of the National Leadership Network of Black Conservatives-Project 21 – a conservative black think tank located in Washington, D.C.

Many say Barack Obama is the most divisive, egocentric megalomaniac ever to hold his office. Others say he is the most ruthless and defiantly determined Marxist-Leninist ever to become president. I say he is, by definition and actions, both. I do not believe he misspeaks or stumbles legislatively, and I certainly do not believe he misspoke or was misunderstood pursuant to his statements against the justices of Supreme Court of the United States.

His attacks against the court were not simply reflexive, they were instinctive, calculated components of his training by his mentor, Saul Alinsky. In 2008, Alinsky’s son, David, said: “Barack Obama’s training in Chicago by the great community organizers is showing its effectiveness. It is an amazingly powerful format, and the method of my late father always works to get the message out and get the supporters on board. When executed meticulously and thoughtfully, it is a powerful strategy for initiating change and making it really happen. Obama learned his lessons [from my father] well.” (“Saul Alinsky’s Son: Obama Learned His Lesson Well,” Sept. 2, 2008, Judi McLeod, Canada Free Press)

Alinsky continued, saying that he was “proud to see” his communist father’s model for Marxist takeover successfully impacting “the [Democratic] campaign in 2008,” adding, it was “a fine tribute to Saul Alinsky.”

That is precisely why I argue that his SCOTUS attack was just that – an attack – and he meant every word he said. His attacks were not pulled out of thin air.

People asked why it took a month for the Trayvon Martin incident to become an issue. I submit it was because his minions were waiting for the high court to begin hearing his health-care legislation. Using tragedy as a means to foment rage, and then using that rage as a match to ignite dried grass, is what communists like Alinsky taught.

Obama honed this skill by following Alinsky’s teachings to the letter as he helped build the Developing Communities Project (DCP) of the Calumet Community Religious Conference (CCRC) while in Chicago. As McLeod reminded us, both of those groups were built following Alinksy’s model of community agitation, or as Alinsky taught, by “rubbing raw the sores of discontent.”

That is what Obama did – he helped fan the flames of controversy in Florida and then took that contempt and turned it toward the courts. In military terms, he was softening the ground, i.e., heavy bombing runs, before sending in the ground troops. He knew full well the things he was saying were outright lies, and he knew that he would be criticized for his intentional dishonesty.

But he also knew that it wouldn’t matter to those who will follow anyone preaching discontent and immiseration – his objective being to use this seething undercurrent of rage to ignite national unrest if the high court doesn’t vote as he wants. And have no doubt that when I say “as he wants,” I am saying “as he demands.” He has already selected and framed those justices he intends to blame and attack, which is why we are hearing that the court’s vote will be 6-3 in favor of retaining Obamacare. It is why he’s talking about unelected justices and calling them judicial activists.

Last November, I wrote: “If the high court rules Obama does not have the constitutional authority to force us to purchase health insurance, will Obama abide by the ruling, or will he pull a Franklin D. Roosevelt and attempt to overrule the court’s decision?”

I am prepared to say he will find a way not to obey the SCOTUS if he doesn’t like its ruling. He’s already arbitrarily decided which laws he won’t enforce. And acting like a tin fuehrer, he has traveled around the country telling people he was going to take executive actions on a regular basis, with or without Congress. In other words, spit on the Constitution, he’ll do as he pleases.

Obama is a hardcore Marxist-Leninist. He was one of Alinksy’s best disciples and, as Alinsky’s son proudly boasted, he learned his lessons well. We cannot give this Erebusic evil another term. The question is, what do we replace him with? This is why the tea-party movement is so important – we must vet candidates and replace the vapid and feckless in Congress with trusted patriots.

Obama has no respect for our institutions, the Constitution, or the people of this country. Every time he arrogantly tilts his head back with his nose in the air, he’s telling us he’s better than we are. He has alienated our allies, he detests Israel, and by all indications, he is selling her out on Iran. And when he was caught red-handed (pun intended), promising Russia our secrets when, not if, he is re-elected – the following day he made light of it, wanting us to believe he was just joking about giving away our secrets.

Obama is a communist and we had better understand that because this Alinskyite is not just destroying our way of life, he is betraying us to our enemies.

The Economy is So Bad That…

I got a pre-declined credit card in the mail.

African television stations are now showing ‘Sponsor an American Child’ commercials.

I ordered a burger at McDonald’s and the kid behind the counter asked, “Can you afford fries with that?”

CEO’s are now playing miniature golf.

Exxon-Mobil laid off 25 Congressmen.

A stripper was killed when her audience showered her with rolls of pennies while she danced.

I saw a Mormon polygamist with only one wife.

I bought a toaster oven and my free gift with the purchase was a bank.

The bank returns your check marked “Insufficient Funds,” but you're unsure if you should phone them and ask if they meant you or them.

McDonald’s is selling the 1/4 ouncer.

Angelina Jolie adopted a child from America.

Parents in Beverly Hills fired their nannies and learned their children’s names.

My cousin had an exorcism but couldn’t afford to pay for it, and they re-possessed her!

A truckload of Americans was caught sneaking into Mexico.

A picture is now only worth 200 words.

They renamed Wall Street “Wal-Mart Street”.

The Treasure Island casino in Las Vegas is now managed by Somali pirates.

Congress says they are looking into this Bernard Madoff scandal. ... Oh Great! The guy who made $50 Billion disappear is being investigated by the people who made $1.5 Trillion disappear!

And, finally…

I was so depressed last night thinking about the economy, wars, jobs, my savings, Social Security, retirement funds, etc., I called the Suicide Hotline. I got a call center in Pakistan, and when I told them I was suicidal, they got all excited, and asked if I could drive a truck.

Speaking for myself, LB, I'm not so sure that all of us here have "missed what Obama is." I think most of us see what is happening on a daily basis to this country because of this man, and are really upset, mad, and yes, fearful for our country and the people in it. NEVER before, has this country had anyone that at least half the country feels is actively trying to dismantle our very freedom and way of life. He has hired people we don't know, passes things to foreign leaders that are unheard of, plots and schemes on nearly everything he does. Even some of his supporters are crying "Wolf".....

Most of us have started to see what is happening, and really don't know how to stop the Obummer Train of Misery....short of going to the streets like some of his supporters. Most of us are peaceful and law abiding citizens. Most of us didn't hang with terrorists like the Weathermen of the 19960's-1970's. Most of us have raised our families, held jobs, and contributed to this country in so many positive ways. Most of us salute the flag when it comes by. Most of us help those who are less fortunate than we ....There isn't a person among us who is perfect.....BUT ALL of us care about this country.

I don't think we need to hope for bad times.....I think these are bad times, and we are to endure more bad times if this man continues in office. What I think we have to do is finally realize the situation, and start talking about it openly with our friends and those around us, no matter how uncomfortable it is.

The question "Are you better off today than you were Jan 1, 2009" should be asked of every person possible when we are out and about.

If they tell us Yes.....Let's find out why anyone would say that.

If they tell us NO, let's let them tell us why and tell us in their own voice outloud...Sometimes, when people actually verbalize something outloud, they start to realize the truth of what they just voiced.......
