The Washington Post Hits Obama
Posted on 10/4/21 at 2:15 pm

Finally, the Washington Post speaks out on Obama! This is very brutal , timely though. As I'm sure you know, the Washington Post newspaper has a reputation for being extremely liberal. So the fact that its editor saw fit to print the following article about Obama in its newspaper makes this a truly amazing event and a news story in and of itself. At last, the truth about our President and his obvious socialist agenda are starting to trickle through the protective wall built around him by our liberal media.

Years from now, historians may regard the 2008 election of BarackObama as an inscrutable and disturbing phenomenon, the result of a baffling breed of mass hysteria akin perhaps to the witch craze of theMiddle Ages. How, they will wonder, did a man so devoid of
professional accomplishment beguile so many into thinking he could manage the world's largest economy, direct the world's most powerful military, execute the world's most consequential job? Imagine a future
historian examining Obama's 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, so 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 Obama's "spiritual mentor"; a real-life,actual terrorist who served as Obama's 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 often 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 don't care if these minority students fail; liberals aren't 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 - that's affirmative action in a nutshell, and if that isn't 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 Obama's 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 that's 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 - it's all warmed-over Marxism of the kind that has
failed over and over again for 100 years.
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. It is
embarrassing to see a president so willing to advertise his own powerlessness, so comfortable with his own incompetence. 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 past president is a small and 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 a man in the Oval Office.
And now Obama is back, with his hand up Biden's (you know what) moving his demented mouth........ the USA is in real trouble.....

The worst part is that I knew Obama would be the next President in 2004. And I knew that there was no "there" there and that there would be only token opposition from the lapdog, "controlled" opposition party (I predicted Romney would be the "Washington Generals" in 2008 and Jeb! in 2012 - so, while a little bit off, I was still a pretty smart motherfricker all the way back in 2004).

You said that WAPO hits Obama, but there is no link. It looks to me like Matt Patterson hit him. Was this actually published in WAPO? That would be extraordinary.

They must have revealed to Bezos that their great reset would wipe him out.

This article was in a 2011 edition of The American Thinker. It never appeared in the Washington Post print nor online editions.

This seems to indicate that the deep state is realizing what a ficking mess Obama and his sock puppet Biden are creating.
Biden's stupidity in Afghanistan has emboldened our rivals and our enemies. Given who the Taliban are, they will foster future terrorist threats until they will have to be destroyed.

This is what happens when people copy and paste from donald.win and Twitter/gab without bothering to check for a source or date.
The question is who pushes this stuff? Legit retards, Russians/Chinese, or just the incredibly lazy?
