Any text in italics is mine, otherwise the remainder is from a supposed article/blog/comment post that occurred in 2010.
A "deadly" article regarding Obama, at the Wall Street Journal, which today is the most widely circulated newspaper in America . - by Eddie Sessions:
Although this article was not written by someone named Eddie Sessions, it doesn’t matter. It is an eye-opening, thought provoking look into President Obama’s ascension to the most powerful position in the world. I would add that FOX news has been roundly criticized on many fronts in terms of trying to understand and vet the real Barack Obama. For simply trying to find out who the man is, they have been excoriated for it. Do you not find it peculiar that segments of this man’s past is as mysterious as William Shakespeare? Will someone 200 years from now say, Barack Obama? He never existed. He was a fictitious character derived by a sensational public that yearned for a President such as this. Enjoy the read. I have removed the last two paragraphs because I do not engage in inflammatory rhetoric. I did not appreciate it when President George W. Bush was called certain names, and I will not resort to similar action. I have added some comments along the way.
"I have this theory about Barack Obama. I think he's led a kind of make-believe life in which money was provided and doors were opened because at some point early on somebody or some group took a look at this tall, good looking, half-white, half-black, young man with an exotic African/Muslim name and concluded he could be guided toward a life in politics where his facile speaking skills could even put him in the White House.”
My comments regarding Obama’s 2004 Illinois Senate campaign: “State Senator Barack Obama won the Democratic primary, as Jack Ryan won the Republican primary, but three months later Ryan announced his withdrawal from the race — four days after the Chicago Tribune persuaded a California court to release child custody records. Six weeks later, the Illinois Republican State Central Committee chose former Diplomat Alan Keyes to replace Ryan as the Republican candidate.” Obama won going away.

“In a very real way, he has been a young man in a very big hurry. Who else do you know who has written two memoirs before the age of 45? "Dreams of My Father" was published in 1995 when he was only 34 years old. The "Audacity of Hope" followed in 2006. If indeed, he did write them himself. There are some who think that his mentor and close friend, Bill Ayers, a man who calls himself a "communist with a small 'c'" was the real author.
His political skills consisted of rarely voting on anything that might be deemed controversial. He went from a legislator in the Illinois legislature to the Senator from that state because he had the good fortune of having Mayor Daley's formidable political machine at his disposal.
He was in the U.S. Senate so briefly that his bid for the presidency was either an act of astonishing self-confidence or part of some greater game plan that had been determined before he first stepped foot in the Capital. How, many must wonder, was he selected to be a 2004 keynote speaker at the Democrat convention that nominated John Kerry when virtually no one had ever even heard of him before?
He outmaneuvered Hillary Clinton in primaries. He took Iowa by storm. A charming young man, an anomaly in the state with a very small black population, he oozed "cool" in a place where agriculture was the antithesis of cool. He dazzled the locals. And he had an army of volunteers drawn to a charisma that hid any real substance.
And then he had the great good fortune of having the Republicans select one of the most inept candidates for the presidency since Bob Dole. And then John McCain did something crazy. He picked Sarah Palin, an unknown female governor from the very distant state of Alaska. It was a ticket that was reminiscent of 1984's Walter Mondale and Geraldine Ferraro and they went down to defeat.
The mainstream political media fell in love with him. It was a schoolgirl crush with febrile commentators like Chris Mathews swooning then and now over the man. The venom directed against McCain and, in particular, Palin, was extraordinary.
Now, nearly a full year [article written in 2010] into his first term, all of those gilded years leading up to the White House have left him unprepared to be President. Left to his own instincts, he has a talent for saying the wrong thing at the wrong time. It swiftly became a joke that he could not deliver even the briefest of statements without the ever-present Tele-Prompters.
Far worse, however, is his capacity to want to "wish away" some terrible realities, not the least of which is the Islamist intention to destroy America and enslave the West. Any student of history knows how swiftly Islam initially spread. It knocked on the doors of Europe, having gained a foothold in Spain ..
The great crowds that greeted him at home or on his campaign "world tour" were no substitute for having even the slightest grasp of history and the reality of a world filled with really bad people with really bad intentions.
Oddly and perhaps even inevitably, his political experience, a cakewalk, has positioned him to destroy the Democrat Party's hold on power in Congress because in the end it was never about the Party. It was always about his [content removed] ideology, learned at an early age from family, mentors, college professors, and extreme leftist friends and colleagues.
Obama is a man who could deliver a snap judgment about a Boston police officer who arrested an "obstreperous" Harvard professor-friend, but would warn Americans against "jumping to conclusions" about a mass murderer at Fort Hood who shouted "Allah Akbar."
The absurdity of that was lost on no one. He has since compounded this by calling the Christmas bomber "an isolated extremist" only to have to admit a day or two later that he was part of an al Qaeda plot.
He is a man who could strive to close down our detention facility at Guantanamo even though those released were known to have returned to the battlefield against America. He could even instruct his Attorney General to afford the perpetrator of 9/11 a civil trial when no one else would ever even consider such an obscenity. And he is a man who could wait three days before having anything to say about the perpetrator of yet another terrorist attack on Americans and then have to elaborate on his remarks the following day because his first statement was so lame.
The pattern repeats itself. He either blames any problem on the Bush administration or he naively seeks to wish away the truth.
Knock, knock. Anyone home? Anyone there? Barack Obama exists only as the sock puppet of his handlers, of the people who have maneuvered and manufactured this [removed content] individual's life.”
My final comments: Articles, such as the one you read above do not inflame me or anger me to the point of incoherent random shouts of vitriol, on the contrary, articles like these give me pause to consider what is going on here? Disturbing information, policies, and/or philosophy that is not of a republic nature, make me concerned for the greatest country on this planet. One that is changing in a profound way that I do not believe is the right way. So my response is to try and make reasonable people more aware of the situation, and that is why I posted this today. I feel that the gentleman who posted this article was very articulate, created some thought provoking questions, and who is concerned for this country as well. There were points of dramatic overkill, but on balance, he articulated his belief in a very reasonable manner.
Now a sliver of defense for President Obama. I understand some of the debt associated with the Obama Administration as being legitimate debt. We had and continue to have very serious issues, and sometimes you need to counter the fallout with some cash/reform/deeper regulations, etc. And, sometimes certain debt is good debt. However, I do believe that there have been opportunities where the President could have gotten us out of this quicker, and now he continues to ask for our patience.
I understand the push for health care, but not to the extent with which the President wants to take us. In fairness, for his plan to work it would take 100% of the people to be in, but the cost is far beyond our comprehension. So I understand the essence of humanitarianism that exists within him, but the realities of the costs cannot be discounted, and yet I fear money or debt are not priorities to the “grand plan.”
Also, I want to hold the Republicans greatly responsible here as well. For too long they went against the very thing they like to run for office, limited spending, lower taxes, etc. The Republicans have let us down in so many ways. Their exorbitant spending in the second Bush term was nothing short of political treason; which is another reason why I am giving up my Republican membership and going Independent. I belong to no one. I belong to the Republic of Reighard.
To finish this point, I am not going to nit-pick here, there’s too much to discuss. Suffice to say, the big ideas the President sets forth alarm me. It’s not because he is black. I don’t care if he’s Hispanic, Asian, Navajo, or whatever. Our country’s identity is now being exercised in the public square and the world is watching. What will our country look like with four more years of Obama? To profoundly change our country, of which he denies and is the songbird of every deceitful act, into a country that is sorely divided between cultures/classes/race is not the path we were on.
There is no doubt that three years in we are beginning to see a pattern with this President.
The recent events of the tragic Trayvon Martin murder have once again shown us the deep divide that comes, not from the Right, but the left and those who wish to exacerbate a horrible tragedy for their own public agenda; shame on them. I spoke of how the national media is complicit and/or the masterminds in the social and cultural destruction of America and the fruit of that poisonous tree is bearing fruit and has been for the last 20 years. The country seems to be so divided now because many have been awakened by this underhanded and surreptitious game plan. And, since we (growing segment of Americans) have had enough we are trying to play on the common sense of the good people of this country, and we will win.
The Democrats and the Obama Administration are not dumb. Why not create a division of the so called “haves” and “have-nots”? It’s worked so well in the past, to create a mob mentality. Let’s inflame the voters, get them mad, insert race, or create a division relative to religion/freedom of individual rights. Hopefully you all are beginning to see more clearly now because a lot of this nation got blindsided by a poetic speaking, slick/hip man who exuded the idea that I am every man. I am the Old Spice guy, the GQ man, the Jet exec, or even the Axe dude. I am everyone and everything.
In 2008, about 46% of the people recognized that Obama was not the real deal and that the caution flags should fly high, but that wasn’t enough, 54% saw it otherwise. Even my fellow Catholics fell prey to the honey tongued Obama. The margin of victory was similar to how the Catholics voted as well 54-46. I hope the Catholics remember how he turned his back on them here recently at the slightest chance. Do you think he would do it again? Another interesting note is how the President seems to be alienating the Israeli’s as well. Nothing like alienating two large voting blocks, the Jews and Catholics, yep he definitely seems to know how to unite people.
What we need now is for the majority of the country to say, “You know what, been there done that. It’s time to get back to the basics, the reality of what and who we are.” It’s time to bench the No. 1 draft choice quarterback who has been a virtual bust and go with some real experience. The Republican candidate that receives the nomination may not be a “Manchurian Candidate” or the perfect candidate, but he will be infinitely better than the current occupant.
