The Self-Destruction of Barack Hussein Obama

The Self-Destruction of Barack Hussein Obama

There’s really no need for whoever wins the Republican nomination for president to campaign much at all. President Barack Hussein Obama has provided more than enough ammunition over the past three and a half years to send him back to Illinois, or Hawaii, or wherever he came from.

This is another story his mainstream media will downplay or bury but it doesn’t matter this time around–as long as the Republican National Committee has the funding to circulate its complilation of what is being called “the book” and to run powerful television ads like the one recently shown in Iowa.

In no way can that one minute video be construed as an attack ad, unless commentary by Bill Clinton (“We’re going in the wrong direction”), Maxine Waters (“We don’t know what the strategy is”), Chris Matthews (“Is this as good as it gets?”), and his admission of failure (“I don’t think people are better off than they were four years ago”) are considered attacks.

In addition, interspersed among those observations by Obama stalwarts are headlines blaring truths about poverty and unemployment which the president can deny only if he contends CBS, the Washington Post, and MSNBC are a bunch of liars.

As for “the book,” it contains some 500 pages of presidential quotations and video links highlighting the candidate and the president’s unfulfilled promises, pledges, and boasts. Though not yet released, WaPo somehow got hold of portions and ”reviewed” them. (http://wapo.st/uB81ri)

The review by an eminent member of Obama’s MSM described the untitled tome as “The new GOP playbook designed to take one of Obama’s great assets–the power of his oratory–and turn it into a liability.”

One could easily take issue with the claim of Obama’s oratorical power. His speeches are more akin to demagogic, telepromptered blatherings to worshipful, untutored audiences. In any event, “the power of his oratory” isn’t disputed in “the book.” The “liability” rests in what he has said, not in how he said it.

It’s unclear how much of “the book” WaPo had access to . . .
