The Cover of Liberal Newsweek Magazine: >> >> Finally, Matt Patterson and Newsweek speak out about Obama. This is timely >> and tough. As many of you know, Newsweek has a reputation for being extremely >> liberal. The fact that their editor saw fit to print the following article about Obama and the >> one that appears in the latest Newsweek, makes this a truly >> amazing event, and a news story in and of itself. At last, >> the truth about our President and his agenda are starting to >> trickle through the protective wall built around him by the >> liberal media.... >> >> I Too Have Become Disillusioned >> >> By Matt Patterson (Newsweek Columnist - Opinion Writer) >> >> Years from now, historians may regard the 2008 election of Barack Obama >> as an inscrutable and disturbing phenomenon, the result of >> a baffling breed of mass hysteria akin perhaps to the witch >> craze of the Middle Ages. How, they will wonder, did a man >> so devoid of professional accomplishment beguile so >> many into thinking he could manage the worlds largest >> economy, direct the worlds most powerful military, execute the >> worlds most consequential job? >> >> Imagine a future historian examining Obamas pre-presidential life: >> ushered into and through the Ivy League, despite unremarkable grades >> and test scores along the way; a cushy non-job as a >> community organizer; a brief career as a state legislator >> devoid of legislative achievement (and in fact nearly devoid >> of his attention, less often did he vote present); and finally an >> unaccomplished single term in the United States Senate, the >> entirety of which was devoted to his presidential ambitions. >> >> He left no academic legacy in academia, authored no signature >> legislation as a legislator. And then there is the matter of his >> troubling associations: the white-hating, America-loathing >> preacher who for decades served as Obamas spiritual >> mentor; a real-life, actual terrorist who served as Obamas >> colleague and political sponsor. It is easy to imagine a future >> historian looking at it all and asking: how on Earth was such >> a man elected president? >> >> Not content to wait for history, the incomparable Norman Podhoretz addressed >> the question recently in the Wall Street Journal: To be sure, no white >> candidate who had close associations with an outspoken hater >> of America like Jeremiah Wright and an unrepentant terrorist >> like Bill Ayers, would have lasted a single day. But because >> Mr. Obama was black, and therefore entitled in the eyes of >> liberal Dom to have hung out with protesters against various >> American injustices, even if they were a bit extreme, he >> was given a pass. Let that sink in: Obama was given a pass - >> held to a lower standard because of the color of his skin. >> >> Podhoretz continues: And in any case, what did such ancient history >> matter when he was also so articulate and elegant and (as he >> himself had said) non-threatening, all of which gave him a fighting chance >> to become the first black president and thereby to lay the curse of racism to rest? >> >> Podhoretz puts his finger, I think, on the animating pulse of the Obama >> phenomenon - affirmative action. Not in the legal sense, of >> course. But certainly in the motivating sentiment behind all >> affirmative action laws and regulations, which are designed >> primarily to make white people, and especially white liberals, >> feel good about themselves. >> >> Unfortunately, minorities suffer so that whites can pat themselves >> on the back. Liberals routinely admit minorities to >> schools for which they are not qualified, yet take no >> responsibility for the inevitable poor performance and high >> drop-out rates which follow. Liberals dont care if these >> minority students fail; liberals arent around to witness >> the emotional devastation and deflated self-esteem resulting from >> the racist policy that is affirmative action. Yes, racist. >> Holding someone to a separate standard merely because of >> the color of his skin - thats affirmative action in a >> nutshell, and if that isnt racism, then nothing is. >> >> And that is what America did to Obama. True, Obama himself was never >> troubled by his lack of achievements, but why would he be? As >> many have noted, Obama was told he was good enough for Columbia >> despite undistinguished grades at Occidental; he was told he was >> good enough for the US Senate despite a mediocre record in >> Illinois; he was told he was good enough to be president >> despite no record at all in the Senate. All his life, every step of the way, >> Obama was told he was good enough for the next step, in spite of ample >> evidence to the contrary. >> >> What could this breed if not the sort of empty narcissism on display >> every time Obama speaks? In 2008, many who agreed that he lacked >> executive qualifications nonetheless raved about >> Obamas oratory skills, intellect, and cool character. >> Those people - conservatives included - ought now to be >> deeply embarrassed. >> >> The man thinks and speaks in the hoariest of clichés, and thats >> when he has his Teleprompters in front of him; when the >> prompter is absent he can barely think or speak at all. Not >> one original idea has ever issued from his mouth - >> its all warmed-over Marxism of the kind that has failed over >> and over again for 100 years. (An example is his 2012 >> campaign speeches which are almost word for word his 2008 >> speeches) >> >> And what about his character? Obama is constantly blaming anything and >> everything else for his troubles. Bush did it; it was bad luck; I inherited this >> mess. Remember, he wanted the job, campaigned for the task. >> It is embarrassing to see a president so willing to advertise his own >> powerless-ness, so comfortable with his own incompetence. (The other day he >> actually came out and said no one could have done anything to get our economy and >> country back on track). But really, what were we to expect? The man has never been responsible for anything, so how do we expect him to act responsibly? >> >> In short: our president is a small-minded man, with neither the temperament nor the >> intellect to handle his job. When you understand that, and only when you understand that, will the current erosion of liberty and prosperity make sense. It >> could not have gone otherwise with such an impostor in the Oval Office.
