The United States is a country with a President but no leader [Reader Post]

@James Raider:

It is unfortunate that Neil Cavuto is so ill.
I forget what he’s got but it is chronic, progressively getting worse and, often times, exhausts him.
His ”big head” humor used to slay me.

@ chipset, Thus far He has succeeded in being a Mediocre to Incompetent One Term President and His arrogance is only surpassed by His Constitutional and Economic Illiteracy. as His Transcripts are “Not Available”, I can only rate Him on a Pass/Fail Performance rating and give Him a Fail on Foreign and Domestic Policies and rate His Leadership as Missing in Action. The Affirmative Action Governance by Czar and Agency Regime gets a Huge Fail from Me across the board.

On Dithering, Indecisiveness and Divisive action, He gets a pass. On Rock Star Partying, living lavish in the trappings of office and failing to come through on Campaign promises He gets a Pass. On alienating Traditional Allies and bringing American prestige to an all time low on the International Stage he has succeeded beyond My worst expectations. Career Politicians, Activists and Community Organizers are too short sighted to be National Leaders or Statesmen. Their Judgment is compromised by their lack of Values and negotiable Integrity.

@Greg

Opinions vary.

That is a true statement. On the other hand, true facts don’t, and Obama is a nightmare of a president.

RETIRE05: Why are you spreading the nasty rumour that Frank Marshall Davis was a “pedophile”? Are you trying to railroad Davis with just the trumped-up evidence that his porn novel included sex with an underage teenager, or is there any empirical evidence, such as court records or confirmatory statements from Davis himself? A novel is fiction, and is fraudulent evidence for such accusations! Do you also consider the author of “Lolita” to be a pedophile, or just Davis? Perhaps it’s time for MythBusters to take a closer look at this unsubstantiated claim.

Thanks for your reply, Nan G. There is no evidence that “Pop” concerns Davis. Further, if you read the poem, the writer pulls out a mirror that he had been saving under his chair. Unless you believe the writer saved mirrors anywhere other than his home, the setting is evidently Obama’s home.

@retire05: Davis never admitted to anything of the sort. Fictional character Bob Greene admitted to the threesome, just as fictional character Humbert Humbert admitted to sex with Lolita, and just as fictional character Mark Twain wrote of his adventures. It helps to distinguish between the lives of authors, and fictional lives of their characters.

BTW: Perhaps it is better to only post verifiable fact rather than slander from disinformation sources.

@Kaleokualoha:

Ignore this person. He is everywhere, on every blog, that ever mentions Frank Marshall Davis. Obviously a person with no life, and some serious psychological problems, he thinks that what he has to say, in spite of the contradictions by those who knew FMD really well, holds some import.

There is no way he can prove to be Davis’ child. But his bio at OAF is interesting, although it may be fictional.

@James Raider: He’s also a really nice guy. Met him once in NY.

@Kaleokualoha:

You seem to cherish going to other websites and pimping your own. Why? Is readership down and you are trying to generate a little traffic?

Fictional writer “Bob Greene”? Bob Greene was Frank Marshall Davis, a man who apparently was pretty twisted, sexually.

Tell me, if you can disprove all these claims made by your father, have you sued anyone? I would warrant the answer is “No” since you cannot disprove your own father’s words.

Now, toddle on off and see if you can find some other blog that may have, in passing, mentioned sick, twisted Frank Marshall Davis, a traitor to his own nation and a racist, to boot.

You remind me of Che’ Guevara’s daughter who denies that her father was a murderous thug who killed hundreds, if not thousands, of Cubans because like Davis, he was another sick bastard.

“Tell me, if you can disprove all these claims made by your father, have you sued anyone?”

Exactly WHAT claims made by my father? Are you speaking of the claims of fictional character Bob Greene? My father made none of those claims, just as John Cleland made none of the claims of Fanny Hill, Daniel Defoe made none of the claims of Moll Flanders, and Nabokov made none of the claims of Humbert Humbert. You apparently have problems distinguishing fiction from reality. Whan a fictional character makes a claim, this is different from the author making the same claim.

In this regard, Davis’s book is like Samuel Clemens “Roughing It,” in that they were both written under pseudonyms that were also fictional characters in their stories:

“Samuel Clemens wrote autobiographical novels under the pseudonym “Mark Twain,” including “Roughing It,” which “follows the travels of young Mark Twain through the Wild West during the years 1861–1867. After a brief stint as a Confederate cavalry militiaman, he joined his brother Orion Clemens, who had been appointed Secretary of the Nevada Territory, on a stagecoach journey west. Twain consulted his brother’s diary to refresh his memory and borrowed heavily from his active imagination for many stories in the novel.” (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roughing_It)

In both cases authors used pseudonyms to publish autobiographical novels that were “fictionalized but still based upon actual occurrences.” In both cases these novels presented fictionalized adventures of their pseudonymous characters. Does anyone claim that the adventures of “Mark Twain” literally occurred in the life of Samuel Clemens, because “Mark Twain” said they happened? If not, then why should anyone claim that the adventures of Bob Greene literally occurred in the life of Frank Marshall Davis, because “Bob Greene” said they happened? Fair weather principles indicate bias.

The issue is rather simple: Either you literally attribute fictional characters’ stories to their authors’ real lives, or you accept that fictional characters’ stories are fiction. By definition, even semi-autobiographical novels are fictionalized accounts of their authors’ own lives. Research should reveal that ALL fictional narrators of such novels claim the events are true, although their actual authors make no such claims!

BTW: It’s virtually impossible for the estates of slander victims to sue for defamation in the United States.

“Truth is generally the best vindication against slander.” – Abraham Lincoln

Calling this man President is an insult to the office in my opinion! This clown is nothing more than a puppet whose strings are tied to his Marxist handlers. Every action he doesn’t take leads me to believe this even more. The disrespect this man has for the office he occupies is an insult to every American!

@James Raider:

James, Obama has NEVER exhibited leadership qualities. He sits in the Oval Office because the media fell in love with a person that fit their list of qualifications: he is far left, he had a fairly clean slate (never digging into his bill writing or voting record), he was young with a young family, and he was BLACK. Shelby Steele said during the primaries that Obama would garner votes from those who suffered white guilt, thinking that a vote for Obama would absolve them of that guilt (for what their ancestors, not they, were guilty of). He was right.

Obama’s childhood was messed up. An absent father, an athiest mother who had been raised by far left wingers that wanted to globe hop, and who was willing to let her first born be raised by his grandparents, a grandfather who seemed to care more about drinking, who showed disrepect for his own wife (as written by Obama in his book), a young man torn by his own bi-racial heritage looking for his place in the world with no one in his life acting as a responsible adult other than his grandmother, who he eventually threw under the axels of the bus.

Obama admits to seeking out the far left (the black power players, the fundalmentalist feminists, the Marxist professors) when he went Occidental. I would warrent that did not change when he went to Columbia, as he talks about Cooper Union (a frequent hang out of William Ayers who mutually shared Obama’s friend, Edward Said). Can anyone say that the opinions they formed in their 20’s do not play a part in the decisions they make in their 40’s?

A number of Obama’s formative years were spent in a Muslim nation. He was never a product of the American black community he so likes to tout. Returning from Indonesia, he did not attend public school, instead was sent to a prep school where dark skinned natives were the norm (check out Kill Hoale Day) so he never suffered from racism, instead it was the other way around (as outlined in his book). And when he married, he married someone with an obvious chip on her shoulder toward white people (read Michelle’s thesis). Don’t we ususally tend to marry those we have much in common with?

Obama is a fiction. A creation of David Axelrod. Whole cloth built from fairy wings. A myth. The emporer with no clothes.

James Raider, the media doesn’t go where it doesn’t WANT to go, and it has so much invested in Obama that it now has to continue the charade. The MFM sold Americans a bill of goods, a fantasy, and will never admit it was wrong (when have you ever heard any of the left-leaning media say they were wrong?)

Alexrod left D.C., based on his claim that his ADULT daughter needed him (I guess she didn’t need him the last two years), Emanuel left for one reason, he wanted to make damn sure he had a job in two years, and that leaves Scary Jarrett pulling the strings on a daily basis. Not a good senario.

But the media can hide total imcompetence for just so long. As the unemployment rate stays high (in spite of the numbers fixing by this administration), job creation doesn’t come close to the need, gas and groceries continue to climb in price, and with gas prices affecting everything we purchase, the dollar becoming weaker by the day (think Weimar) a hard job in January, 2009 become insurmountable in 2012.

Unfortunately, if the Republican held Congress manages to bring spending under control (which I doubt with a Harry Reid controlled Senate) that will not reflect on the Congress, but the poseur in the Oval Office as he will take credit for it. But make no mistake, Obama will never move to the center. It is not in his DNA. We MUST take the Senate in 2012. There is no other option. If Obama has anything to his credit, it is his ability to surround himself with people who are experts in astroturfing (that’s how Axelrod made his fortune) and the ability to rouse the lemmings.

Tom, you’re so far off base about me, I don’t know where to start.

I make no excuses for Obama’s incompetence. He simply is. I also make no apologies for noting that Obama’s opinions were seemingly formed early in his adult life, and those opinions have not changed to any noticable level. I have never said “like father, like son” or “he’s so foreign seeming” or ever mentioned anything about his birth. So bringing up all those things, that I did not say, have no bearing on the discussion. They simply allow you to try to present an straw man argument.

You see, FMD is not the “smoking gun”, but rather one person, out of many, that contributed to Obama’s social/world view. And whether you like it or not, FMD had a greater influence on Obama than did his biological father, or even his own mother, for that matter. The people that influenced a growing, maturing Barry Obama would have been those closest to him, his grandmother, his grandfather and yes, FMD.

I did not “conjure a fantastically evil back story.” The things I have said about FMD have been said for years, only resurfacing when Obama threw his hat in the ring and people started examing the things he wrote his his books.

So ask yourself this: if all the things said about FMD all these years were untrue, why did Mark surface only in 2008? Mark is obviously an Obama supporter, so what better way to distance the man he supported for POTUS from a radical influence than to dispute the radicalism of his father, who had a connection (you could even say bond) with the curret occupant of the Oval Office? Would that not have been a battle that Mark had been fighting for over a decade, not just the last three years?

Or did that never occur to you?

And no, had the situation been the same for me, and my father was a radical, drug using, racial supremicist womanizer I would not spend my days supporting him and trying to change history. But hey, that’s just me.
