Article from the Wall Street Journal by Eddie Sessions:
"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.
In a very real way,he has been a young man
in a very big hurry.
Who else do you know 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 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 determent
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 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 communist 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 "Allahu 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 pathetic individual's life.
When anyone else would quickly and easily
produce a birth certificate,
this man has spent over a million dollars
to deny access to his.
Most other documents, the paper trail
we all leave in our wake,
have been sequestered from review.
He has lived a make-believe life
whose true facts remain hidden.
We laugh at the ventriloquist's dummy,
but what do you do when the dummy
is President of the United States of America ?
