Barack’s Africa Problem

What the hell were the New Yorker editors thinking? Put me down as someone who thinks the New Yorker Cover is way out of line, but not for the reasons you might suspect. I do not understand why Michele Obama is featured as an updated Angela Davis afro-wearing radical toting an AK-47? Humor and satire, to be effective, must have a basis in truth. Is she a tough, dominating lady who has her husband whipped? That appears to be true. But she has not been buddies with the communist, non-repentant terrorist Bill Ayers or an employee of Bill Ayers. That is her husband. As Steve Diamond pointed out in an earlier post, Barack still has not answered that question.

Also, what is with the Osama Bin Laden photo? The only terrorist Barack has hung out with is Bill Ayers. He has never said boo about being an Osama supporter.

But Barack in muslim/African tribal garb? That is true. That’s not an artistic fabulation. It is a fact.
barack-tribal-dress-cropped.jpg

The challenge for Barack in the upcoming election, if he is nominated, is to explain his screwed up parents. His first ad emphasized his whiteness–I have a white mama, I have white grandparents, and, did I mention, they are from Kansas? Barack faces a steep climb to persuade voters that he is a male version of Dorothy from The Wizard of Oz. You ain’t in Kansas any more BoBo. Oh! Barack also neglected to mention his half-sister, who was born in Indonesia, and his half-brothers and sisters in Kenya. As we have previously noted Barack Sr. was a bit of a rounder. A Kenyan version of Johnny Apple-seed who had multiple girlfriends, wives, and children. Those are not family values that most Americans understand or embrace.

Democrats may have been shy about talking about these facts but Republicans are not. And cries of unfair and racism from the distraught left will be meaningless come September. How do you think the American people will react when a video pops up of Barack Obama praying at a mosque? Do you think most Americans will shrug it off as nothing?

    larry —

    I am so happy today -i turn the tv on and see the most beautiful picture of obamas—-its worth million smiles –

    they say “its offensive“`

    my question to obamas is “was not hillary,s cracking pen or nut cracker offensive to you “`???

    was not labeling clintons with racism -offensive to you ??

    I pray ,he gets more shitt like this “what goes around -comes around “`

  • blech

    I’ve heard Obama talk about his extended family a fair amount actually. He’s referenced the large number of skin shades they have and all the countries they are from.

    And his stump speech line is “a mother from Kansas and a father from Kenya,” a direct reference to his multi-ethnic heritage.

    No? So she is just buddies with his wife then ever since they met in NY 2 decades ago.

    The one thing I cut Obama slack on is his parents. They weren’t Ozzie and Harriet, but that’s not his fault.

    Who he has chosen to associate with since he became an adult IS very much his problem.

    1. Reverend Wright
    2. Bill Ayers
    3. Michelle

    I think you NQ folks should decide if the cover is good or bad for Obama. Some of you seem to think it’s a plot to undermine all the stories about him by having people talk about how they are all smears. In the last thread on the cover, it was suggested that the Obama campaign convinced the NYer to use the cover.

    Please figure out what conspiracy theory you’re promoting today.

    At Obama’s fundraiser the other night, Bernie Mac made denigrating comments calling women “hos” and complained his wife is frigid since she is going through menopause.

    When both men and women complained and said these were sexist and immature comments, Obama supporters said these were only jokes and to “lighten up.”

    Obama supporters: take your own advice on the New Yorker cover-”lighten up.”

    It’s only “satire”-Obama supporters, where’s your sense of humor now?

    Obama gets a hugh taxpayer salary and full benefits, including health care and retirement. We all are paying his salary and benefits.

    “The only terrorist Barack has hung out with is Bill Ayers?”

    You’re being too generous to him. Shortly before the Obama property deal, Tony Rezko received a $3.5 million loan from an Iraqi exile, Nadhmi Auchi. The Pentagon has identified Auchi as a former bagman for Saddam Hussein. This London-based financier is one of the world’s richest men, convicted of fraud in 2003 over the notorious European Elf affair, the largest scandal in post-war Europe.

    Another longtime Rezko chum, Aiham Alsammarae, was appointed Iraq’s former Minister of Electricity in 2003. (Both men attended college together in Illinois during the 1970s.) In 2005, Alsammarae was charged with stealing $650 million in Iraqi reconstruction funds. Wanted by Interpol, Alsammarae posted more than $2.7 million in property as collateral last April to help spring Rezko from jail. While Bush Administration officials won’t tell anyone what the warrant is for, his arrest is not imminent.

    The minister fled Iraq in 2006. Newsweek has reported that Alsammarae’a son sent several faxes to Obama’s office in Washington prior while he was incarcerated in a Baghdad jail in December. Thereafter, with the aid of Blackwater security guards, Alsammarae escaped. The fugitive now resides comfortably in his private compound outside of Chicago, where he donated online to the candidate in January, February and March. For more on this subject:

  • Buzz Latte

    Mr. Obama has many more problems ahead of him than just reactions to a magazine cover.

    He needs to become transparent on who he really is and what he really stands for.

    Until then, we will assume that what he has projected so far, marxist leanings, dubious friendships with self professed enemies of the USA, quotes of siding with the muslims in times of trouble, and one flip flop after another as the true Obama.

    Is he part of the solution or part of the problem?

  • blech

    Why the potty mouth?

    And why the repeated claims that people who support Obama are paid? Given that Obama has more enthusiastic supporters than McCain (see Pew, Gallup, etc.), the implication that he would have to pay folks isn’t backed by any evidence, however indirect.

  • Karma

    Too bad all the referencing he’s doing has been manufactured. There WAS NO Christmas time gift exchanges for his “African granny”, there WAS NO gift exchanges with dear old dad.

    What I heard from others(I live in Chicago area)”Michelle worked with Bernrdine Dorn 20 yrs ago(@Sidley Austin)and Michelle introduced Obama to Dorn and Ayers back then.” So here we go, Michelle’s tie to Dorn leads to Obama’s ties to Dorn and Ayers – that’s why Michelle’s dipicted as a terrorist wearing AK47. Ayers’ father was a powerful Chicago man and he was the man who placed Dohn to Sidley Austin to work as a paralegal, since Dohn was then already convicted and lost a privilege to work as an attorney.

    I believe that is the other point of the cover. Yes, it is satire about all the things the Obamas are being accused of but it also emphasizes the fact that Obama is either unwilling or unable to debunk any of it.

    That picture of Obama was taken during a trip he took specifically to support his brother, Roy, and his friend Odinga, in their bid to to take over kenya politically. Since then, it has come out that they meant to disable kenya’s democracy and forcibly convert their system of justice over to sharia law. When they failed to win the elections, they responded by burning people’s families alive in their homes and hacking off people’s genitals with rusty machetes. Conveniently, the context of the muslim garb photo has bee left out, as has Obama’s link to Odinga and what he and Obama’s brother have been doing in kenya.

    The picture of Obama on the front page of the New Yorker isn’t satire. Or rather, the person who created it, doesn’t get the joke. Those on the left are making fun of criticisms of Obama, as if they had no basis in fact….when actually, they do.

    The joke is on them.

    Actually, this is a misquote.

    Snopes debunked it http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/ownwords.asp

    # I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.

    This statement is a rewording of a passage from page 261 of The Audacity of Hope, in which Barack Obama spoke of the importance of not allowing inflamed public opinion to result in innocent members of immigrant groups being stripped of their rights, denied their due as American citizens, or placed into confinement, as was done with Japanese-Americans during World War II. The original contains no specific mention of “Muslims”:

    In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans, for example, have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging. They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific reassurances that their citizenship really means something, that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during World War II, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.

    Also, unrelated, but I read a post stating that Michelle is practically a part of the Jesse Jackson family, that she grew up with them and they share godmothers, etc. I haven’t verified.

    After all that I know about Obama, and after reading that New Yorker magazine article about how Obama is a diabolical politician…I strongly feel that what attracted Obama to Michelle was more than her looks…MICHELLE had the biggest political connections. We know Ayers is down with Daley…who was probably down with Emil Jones…etc etc…blah blah. Chicago is one big sticky web.

    Wild Bill Ayers is a far cry from the most disturbing link Obama has to terrorists.

Because I have to tell you. I’m pretty much of the opinion that they know damn well, exactly what he is.

    I used to have thoughts like that about the Internment camps in WWII, but then I watched the Ken Burns film call “THE WAR”. After watching that film I saw why the camps were a good idea, the people we fought from Japan were more extreme than the Taliban. They would behead American prisoners and cut off body parts, they would not surrender and they forced the Americans to kill them all, they even showed footage of about 500 Japanese civilians jumping off a cliff to their deaths, they were told by their Gov’t the American soldiers would eat them. Every American should view that film, it will give you a greater understanding of the people of this country.

    Obama has no problem when it’s directed towards others. He’s never stood up once when the crude remarks and satires were made against someone else unless it was Michelle and that was to benefit himself.

    As a matter of fact when it was done against Hillary or McCain he and his supporters mock them further or jump around with glee. I bet it even merited fist bumps. He even does it himself except he does it more subtle and subliminal. I guess THAT makes it ok.

    I watched that documentary and you did NOT get it, hank! If you saw the part about Japanese American internment, you would have understood that citizens of this country, born and raised here, were interned just because of the color of their skin. They had nothing to do with beheading American soldiers. In fact, many of them, like my Japanese American uncles, were highly decorated soldiers in the U.S. Army! So get your facts straight before you start mouthing off.

    I can’t believe you made me side with blech.

    Larry is someone here going to tie together the single mom comment with the birth certificate issue?

    His own mother, she said at the beginning of her remarks, was “very young and very single when she had him.” And, Obama added, he has observed his wife’s attempts to reconcile motherhood with her career aspirations.

    Barack Obama panics: Andy Martin’s book forces Obama to admit he is illegitimate

    “Obama knew we were working the ‘illegitimate’ story, and we were preparing a series of news conferences in conjunction with my book Obama: The Man Behind The Mask,” Martin will state. “The Obama campaign also knew we were planning a lawsuit over his illegitimate birth. So they tried to use Obama’s wife to do damage control. It was one of the most cowardly gestures in American political history.

    Is this why the original birth certificate has not been released? Is Obama even legally eligible to be president?

Also, abuse from people for whom one has little or no respect doesn’t cut very deep.

    that’s how I took it

    But she has not been buddies with the communist, non-repentant terrorist Bill Ayers or an employee of Bill Ayers. That is her husband.

    Not true Larry, Michelle worked with/for Dohrn at Sidley Austin, and has engaged Dohrn and Ayers for speaking engagements at the U of C! Michelle’s association with Dohrn is as long as Obama’s is with Ayers.

    Between Dohrn and Ayers, Dohrn is the worst of the two, Ayers is simply a lip flapper whereas Dohrn is an action taker!

    As for the Bin Ladin picture, after 9 soldiers killed today in Afganistan by Taliban attacks which were expected and forcasted months ago as to strength building, and Obama doing nothing as Chair of the NATO sub-commitee, not even resigning from it to allow someone to actually do some work on it gives the impression Obama has no interest in seeking out bin Ladin, and in fact is protecting him by having an idle commitee that could do something to place more pressure in capturing him!

    Birth Certificate? I am still wondering where the marriage certificate is. Has the Obama campaign replied to Andy Martin’s assertions about the non-marriage of his parents:

    If Obama had simply told the truth, the matter would probably be forgiven. But he repeatedly lies and pretends he ‘doesn’t know.’ The cover-up is always worse than the crime. Jesse knows the truth. That is why Jackson has contempt for Obama.

    I too thought the satirical character of Michelle Obama was brilliant! Outside of the obvious reference to “militant’ aspects of some of her statements and gestures which had people talking, I loved that the artist portrayed Michelle with distinct African American female features. For a woman who is suppose to be black, proud and strong- she sure goes through a lot of trouble changing her appearance to be more in line with Caucasian beauty standards: straightening her hair, the facial plastic surgery , obsessive work-outs to change her body type. I loved that made her black and beautiful with the natural hair, lips, and a booty. HA! That is probably what’s pissing her off the most. She got called out on her sad, pitiful self-loathing.

    There were many Britons of German descent that betrayed the Allies during WWII. That is well documented and you can find it easily using Google.

    No doubt that overwhelmingly, the Japanese Americans sent to those camps were loyal to the US. But not doubt also that many would have been sypathetic towards Japan.

    The Japanese internment camps were for the most part humane in their treatment. I knew a large Japanese family in CA that was intered, and they harbor no resentment.

    Not a great choice, and a contradiction to the US Constitution, but the camps were necessary. And, they probably saved lives.

  • Mountain Girl

    I was about to relay that information about Dohrn and Michelle Obama. You are absolutely right; they worked together at the same law firm. Dohrn is nothing but a big mouth; she incited others to violence and breaking the law, but she managed to not be charged with anything herself. I have absolutely no respect for her.

    I am also starting to reconsider the “unfounded” stories on the internet about Obama being a muslim. I have discounted this, thinking that although as a child both his father and step father were muslims, he has in fact been a member of a non-muslim church for 20 years. However, with all of the anti-woman comments he has made and surrounded himself with, I am beginning to wonder if the muslim effect is stronger than I think. He definitely does not like white women, and maybe not any women.

    So what’s is like knowing that your anointed one betrayed you with his FISA vote, knowing that you and your parents can no be spied upon with impunity, and that you have no recourse?

    What’s it like knowing that Obama voted to let George W. Bush off the hook?

    What’s it like knowing that your craven leader can’t lead, that the real reason he didn’t even try to stop the FISA capitulation is that he’s got no goddamned leadership ability,…

    - Unless you count his ability to snowjob a bunch of iPod addled children and credulous academic fogheads?

    And that because Obama hasn’t got the ability to lead, he’ll embrace exactly the same techniques George W. Bush has devoted the past seven years to perfecting.

    I’d like to see more about the very unpopular stand McCain took in pushing for the troop surge, which placed his campaign in jeopardy.

    I was also against the surge. I could not trust Bush, nor his Defense Dept and Joint Chiefs. But GOD BLESS McCain for his insight and sticking with the advice of the Generals on the ground.

    If not for McCain and the surge, we would not be talking about reducing troop levels due to success. Without the surge, the Obama’s troop withdrawal would be a FAILURE and SURRENDER.

    They were extreme as a group, they had the belief that the emperor was a God. In Europe soldiers on both side would surrender if the situation called for that action, that didn’t happen in the Pacific. I’m not old enough to have been alive during WWII and I didn’t have a good understanding of the WAR in the Pacific, the Ken Burns film gave me a understanding why we dropped the Atomic bomb on them as well. I think the actions of the Gov’t were correct. Funny thing is that German and Italian soldiers were here in this country, The Prisoners held in Detroit were treated quite well, you could even pick them up and take them for the day to do work and I was told they would even be at Dances in the City.

    I am part of a large Japanese AMERICAN family that was interned. They were not necessary and they did not save lives. We were no threat to the United States, just as German Americans and Italian Americans were not threat to the United States. My grandfather died in an internment camp because when they carted him off to the racetrack to hold them until they could transport them to the actual internment camps, there were no medical supplies. He had diabetes and died from insulin shock.

    There is NO DOUBT in my mind that my family was NOT sympathetic to Japan. We are Americans first, just like you.

    I am a patriotic citizen of the United States and accepted the apology of the government for what it did to my family. I harbor no resentment, but I still don’t think that internment was right for my family or the families of other minorities.

    My take on Michelle Obama’s characterization on the New Yorker cover isn’t that she is like Angela Davis (I have to say I don’t quite get the assault rifle), but when I first saw it, I thought it summed up what seems like a simmering anger that expresses itself through her choice of words and her facial expressions. I don’t know much about her except that it doesn’t seem to me that she has so much in her background (at least what she says publicly) to merit that level of anger. I’m really disappointed that she said that she’s, apparently, never been proud of her country before. She seems to have had many good opportunities in life. I wanted to go to law school but didn’t have the money or any special treatment in terms of scholarships, etc. I’d like to know more about her in order to make any generalization about the cover picture. A couple of times she has talked about “pieces of pie” and how we shouldn’t have such big pieces or how we need to share the pieces, or something like that. It sort of sounded like socialism — I think she might have had a point, but I couldn’t quite figure out what it was. I know a lot of people are fed up with not getting ahead despite their hard work. Maybe that’s what she was saying. I don’t know.

  • Diana

    Obama didn’t sit in one service. He sat there for 20 years being taught and living Black Liberation Theology. Now go read Dr. James Cohen’s work. Even ran under the New Party Ticket, hired several of their radicals to work for him. Nah, he never heard a thing. Then he subjected his children to the vile and racism. Not “one” service or even a couple. 20 long years worth of services.

    Obama could have entered this campaign and said you know people I have had some shady characters in my past. I know they’re going to try and use these people against me. But I want you to know when I found out what these people were about I chose not to associate myself with them anymore. People would have respected him for being honest. Coming clean, after all he’s the candidate of “Change”.

    But did he? No he did not, because he CHOSE to continue in his associations with these people after the primaries, until it began to harm him and his campaign. Everything we do in life is by choice. This was the choice/choices he made.

    Which means Obama hated American, and was a Racist clear into the primaries. Then he suddenly saw the light and no longer did/believed these things. To bad it wasn’t until it was exposed and he began loosing that he saw that light.

    Now you all tried this stuff with John when all this first started coming out. First a Rev in Texas was his minister. Then it was a Rev in Florida. Neither of which were John’s spiritual mentors. Neither of which he’s ever sat in even one of their services.

    Then you tried the stuff that Cindy got addicted and stole from her own clinic. A clinic which SHE financed. Pain pills which SHE got addicted too because she knew there were people out there that NEEDED her. Not for PLEASURE. I can’t count the number of times I’ve heard Obama supporters saying they could never vote for someone that did drugs. All the while knowing that Obama himself admitted to doing drugs for PLEASURE. Guess they won’t be voting for Obama, if Cindy’s use of drugs bothers them that much.

    Hillary lied. Uh-huh and how many times in just the past couple weeks has your candidate out and out lied, knowing he was lying and not about some trip. About the things he used to get you to vote for him…

    If they were never married, following the customs of the times forty-some odd years ago, wouldn’t the kid’s last name be the MOTHER’s name? It’s only recently, relatively speaking, that baby-daddies stepped up and acknowledged, and DNA is the main reason for that.

    Off topic, I know an unwed mother where the hospital did a DNA test on the presumed father before the father’s name went on the birth certificate. I believe the father requested the test.

    So, Barry Dunham, eh?

    Is this why they’ve made that big foolish stink about the birth certificate? To hide a NAME CHANGE? After all, he was Barry Soetero, religion ISLAM, in his classes in Indonesia.

    Jackson,

    Thanks for your interpretation. I posted my comment before seeing yours. Now I get it. I know. I was always the slow one. Yes, now I do see how that cover makes sense. I wrote, below, that Michelle seems unusually angry for someone who has had, apparently, so many good opportunities in her life. Being a woman, I understand the sexism that passes for comedy or is simply considered okay in our society. Now, it seems, I must feel bad for being white, too. Some people would convince me that just because I’m white, I’ve somehow benefited from the unjust actions of whites who have suppressed others. But I’ve been suppressed, too. I don’t yet understand what it is that is expected of me by people like Michelle Obama. She lives in a very nice house, seems to have a lot of disposable income and seems to have quite a bit of personal power and she has an outlet to talk about the things that anger or delight her. Most people don’t. So why is she so angry?

    Isn’t it somewhat ironic that he voted for FISA so that Americans can be spied on and our secrets may get out, yet he doesn’t want his secrets revealed? I think there is a word for that…hypocrisy.

    People treat each other like dirt. Living is a continuous struggle against this.

    My grandmother hemorrhaged and bled to death in the hospital bed where she awaited childbirth. The nurses didn’t respond to her buzzer because they were taking their lunch hour. When they finally responded it was too late to do anything but call in my grandfather to say goodbye.

    That too happened a long time ago.

    Why did I say this? Because life is tough on everyone. If you’re lucky you find a community that accepts you and helps you get through your troubles.

  • yttik

    LOL, the cover is not good or bad, it’s just satire. What’s going to be bad is the way Obama and many of his supporters react to it. They give everything power by acting like fools. No sense of humor, no ability to laugh at themselves. Just hubris and hatred.

    They have poured fuel on those Muslim rumors by acting ashamed instead of embracing Keith Ellison and defending those Muslims who love this country and condone peace. Again they poured fuel on the fire by labeling those photos of Obama in native garb, as smears. There was nothing shameful about those photos until they labeled them attacks and tried to pin them on Hillary.

    And again we’re watching Obama and his supporters give power to this magazine cover. He could have laughed it off, used it as a tool to address America’s fears, etc. He won’t because he’s a naive self centered tool full of hubris. And there’s an element of truth to that satire that he hasn’t got the gonads to face and speak truthfully about.

    Al Qaeda Terrorist’s Anchor Baby Works for Obama

    DHS officials are laboriously attempting to deport al Qaeda bigwig Mohammed Al-Churbaji for a second time. The Syrian national has been living in Ann Arbor, planting terrorist anchor babies that make it even harder to get rid of him.

    One is his son Mohamed Salim Al-Churbaji, a student at the moonbat-infested University of Michigan. Like Nancy Pelosi, Salim has been making trips to the terror state Syria. Unsurprisingly, he’s a fundraiser and organizer for the Obama campaign.

    Actually, this is a misquote.

    Snopes debunked it http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/ownwords.asp

    # I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.

    This statement is a rewording of a passage from page 261 of The Audacity of Hope, in which Barack Obama spoke of the importance of not allowing inflamed public opinion to result in innocent members of immigrant groups being stripped of their rights, denied their due as American citizens, or placed into confinement, as was done with Japanese-Americans during World War II. The original contains no specific mention of “Muslims”:

    In the wake of 9/11, my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans, for example, have a more urgent quality, for the stories of detentions and FBI questioning and hard stares from neighbors have shaken their sense of security and belonging. They have been reminded that the history of immigration in this country has a dark underbelly; they need specific reassurances that their citizenship really means something, that America has learned the right lessons from the Japanese internments during World War II, and that I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.

    Snopes is splitting hairs, lol.

    I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.

    I will stand with them should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.

    So who are the Muslims Obambi references when he apparently says them?

    “my meetings with Arab and Pakistani Americans, for example”

    So there you have it, the Arab and Pakistani MUSLIMS, duh to snopes, lol.

    Here’s mine to the New Yorker:

    I’ve heard that you’ve received a lot of complaints about the Obama/Osama cover. It’s being called offensive.

    Please ask, on my behalf and on behalf of many others, whether Obama’s personal capitulation and failure to lead the Senate away from capitulation on the FISA amendments is not much more and more deeply offensive.

    Thank you. Signed, an offended American.

  • Mandelay

    That national ad talks about family and values and everyone in it, aside from Obama, is white. That is pathetic.

  • TeakWoodKite

    Hey Hans blech….try this on for size.

    The point of satire is to polk fun at, in this case, stereotypes of Michelle and Barak Obama, the New Yorker editor has said as much.

    The problem for you is the folks that don’t read the artical about the cover.

    So Mr. Johnson has a point when he says;

    How do you think the American people will react when a video pops up of Barack Obama praying at a mosque?

    I take his meaning to be illuminating the fact that critical thinking is absent when viewing a video as he suggests. It is real easy to make 1+1 = 3 when solving for BO.

    PS. Personally, I could care less if he prayed in a mosque or a mud hut. I have concluded on many levels he is not qualified to be POTUS.

    They’ve always asked for money. This is nothing new. I got e-mails from both Clinton and Obama asking for money.

    Please keep posting, lol. You are proving to be dumber than a sack of hammers.

    Obambi’s June goal was $100 million , yet whispers are saying $30 million might be more in line with the actual numbers, lol.

    ….. considering that Obambi’s goal of $450 million to $550 million by Nov 2008 represent about $100 million a month, I would say he is under performing by a huge amount at $30 million for June, lol.

    With the $70 million deficit for June the monthly figure of $100 million needed to Nov 2008 has now been forced to $120 million/month to Nov 2008 for July/Aug/Sept/Oct lol.

    So while you try and diminish reality with stupid posts going off on non-relevant tangents, the rest of us know the reality. Nobody is fooled but lots of us are laughing at you, lol.

    Narcissistic multiple personality disorder?

    A pervasive pattern of grandiosity (in fantasy or behavior), need for admiration, and lack of empathy, beginning in early adulthood and present in a variety of contexts, as indicated by five (or more) of the following:

    1. has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements, high ego)

    Obambi – check

    2. is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love

    Obambi – check

    3. requires excessive admiration

    Obambi – check

    4. has a sense of entitlement, i.e., unreasonable expectations of especially favourable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her expectations

    Obambi – check

    5. is interpersonally exploitative, i.e., takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends

    Oh f_ck ya, Obambi – check

    6. lacks empathy: is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others

    Obambi – check

    7. is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of him or her

    Obambi – check

    8. shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes

    Obambi – check

    I strongly suggest Obambi enter the nearest mental rehab center and quit his run for the POTUS immediately, that boy is sick.

  • Wisewoman

    I have been posting the same conclusion on this and other web sites. I am a 63 yr old black female Hillary supporter and I can tell you all without a doubt this guy is a phony who has used and will continue to use every negative thing he can to win. Look the guy won IA, lost NH, lost NV prior to SC. Hillary was leading in the SC polls and polled 65% among black voters. Obama had to win SC or risk being out of the race. As your links indicate, he used the race card on the Clintons by falsely charging them with what he was doing knowing that this would anger and pi** off blacks. It worked perfectly and turned the race in his favor. Does it make sense even to a dummy that under the favorable circumstances for Hillary that I described that they would come into SC, play the race card, and expect blacks to vote for Hillary? No. Like George Wallace, Obama was and continues to be the race baiter. For that as a black person I truly despise him, especially since I marched with Dr. King during my college days in MS. You white people had better wake up. Blacks are too few in number to stop him even if they were inclined to. Don’t elect a sweet talking, always grinning, race baiting phony to the office of POTUS. I CAN GUARANTEE YOU WILL BE SORRY!

  • andySF

    I have to agree with you on this . I do think that some American are prejudice even in this century. They can’t tell the different between a foreigner and a American who’s of another background and race that different from them. How come they don’t treat the German American and Italian American the same way as they do the Japanese American? The point of their belief as a reason for atomic bomb is a dead give away how they feel about people with belief different to theirs. This Japanese American born and raised in this country for crying out loud.

    I am Asian American myself, and hate what the Japanese did back then, and still have a problem with some of their politician who’s cling to those views today. But to treat other American like dirt was unacceptable. And to think that was a good idea today is even worst. How’s that make us any better than countries run by dictators? How’s that make them any better than Obama supporters.

  • andySF

    They don’t think their emperor is a God, rather a appointee by the god. and the reason of the bomb was their their code of honor that fight to the death in battle and never surrender was costing life of American solder. And it was a good chance for the government to test the bomb’s effect for the very first time as well as to put fear into opposition around the world. Get your fact straight. To say that use of WMD is still correct in this day of age is limp. They used then because it made sense for them, just like Hillary vote the for the war the same way base on evidence she had. But it was a wrong war that we should never started, one that we must finish now that we were in. We could had save 4000 lives and countless billions.

    Several weeks back, a Fox News anchor whom I just love, and therefore will not name, joked on air about what that little knuckle jab between the Obamas might really mean. The anchor gave three possibilities on air, and one of them was: terrorist jab? Naturally, some were up in arms.

    There actually ended up being temporary consequences, now resolved, from the incident.

    Maybe you’d like to post it here at NQ? –

    Because his African problem – which is at the core of his campaign strategy and hints at his true intent is soon seriously to become America’s problem – it this country doesn’t soon wake up.

    But, I have this to say about the New Yorker.

    They crossed the line with that cartoon.

    Let’s all shut our big mouths for a minute and think about those Obama children.

    When I saw that magazine cover I did not laugh, the first thing that came to my mind were their children and what they would have to endure as a result of seeing such a vile picture of their parents.

    Politics is a wicked world. But, on this one the New Yorker crossed the line and those little Obama girls are going to have those images of their parents that were in a national magazine imprinted in their minds for the rest of their lives.

    Oh sure you can say they won’t see the picture……they will surely see it and you cannot sugar coat it.

    I ask…….what then will they think of this country?

    radicals and those revolutionary types (like FLSN) are typically college educated. The only major exception is FARC.

    GOOD ONE!

    Well there you go, why worry? Obama said, “I will stand with Muslims should the political winds shift…” no need to go any farther. When has Obama ever meant what he said? If those poor Muslims really were in danger of being interned, Blahblah would refine his position and say, “You were not listening….” The entire US population of Muslims would be under the bus before they ever got to any concentration camp. No worries.

    Give him a sticker. Maybe he will go away. Every time I read one of his posts I want to burp.

    Not to compete horror stories- but we lost our civillian family member after he was forced into slave labor and then executed with 97 other men on 10-7-1943, Wake Island. His family got no apology from either country. However, his executor was tried and hung on Guam.

    The internment is hindsite was wrong- especially for US citizens of Japanese heritage. I do not dimished its harshness.

    The reason that Germans and Italians were not interned is because they did not attack the United States. Americans were not told until years later, but Japan managed to kill half a dozen people in Oregon with balloon bombs. So, even the mainland was hit in addition to Wake and Hawaii.

    Also, survival rates for Americans held in Japan was around the low 20% mark. Whereas we had close to a 97% of living as a prisoner of the Germans (yes, I know)

    Hey has anybody checked? Is Squeeky Fromm due for parole? Maybe Obama can snatch her up as a VP pick.

    CamelNOT!

    The Japanese soldiers used a lot of meth-type stuff. They also had no concept (at least in practice) of surrender or being a prisoner. That is why they would not stop.

    Also describes classic Narcissism, believing he is actually qualified to be POTUS.

    Lighten up people. I saw much worse while reading M.A.D. magazine growing up. Public figures are supposed to be lampooned by political cartoonist. It’s never about universal truth, it’s about an artists perspective shown through humor. No more, no less. If someone can’t handle sarcasm they should read the Farmer’s Almanac instead of The Yew Yorker.

    Barky, toughen up!

    Here’s a good photo of Obama.

    His ears remind me of Dumbo the elephant.

    Wouldn’t you know it is from a right wing web site.

  • typical.white.person

    Hell, you can order a framed copy of the Osama-Obama magazine cover.

    It was and will always be a great American tragedy and a very unnecessary one. And happens when we let fear drive us. My family was interned in Japanese concentration camps in the Netherlands Indies – what is now Indonesia. Horrific things happened to them, many died. It’s one reason I’m so against war. But if we can’t learn from history so that we don’t make those same mistakes again, all of that pain and horror was likely in vain.

    How many times do I have to say it before you believe me?

    I’m not here to make arguments. I’m here to laugh at a bunch of seriously disturbed and delusional whackjobs without the danger that would usually accompany such a venture in the real world.

    Don’t get me wrong, I am Asian. The Japanese soldier did horrible things to our people. They kill people for fun and use civilian for experiment. As you pointed out, many of the POW were killed. Their action were as bad as the Nazi’s treatment of Jews. Most of us Asians are still angry with the lack of remorse on the part of the Japanese government. What they did was inexcusable. But two wrongs don’t make a right. The killing of mass civilian cannot be view favorably. I think the war fatigue was one one the reason for the bombing. But looking back, I can honestly say that’s a good thing.

    On second though, the Japanese did benefited from the rebuilding effort of the US and get to be where they are today as a result of it.

  • andySF

    I can’t honestly say that’s a good thing, that is.

  • WildChild

    Not a problem. If you want to go through life as fluff that’s your business. From my experience though the self proclaimed laughing boys don’t have what it takes to make an argument. So all they have left is giggling at those made by others.

  • Eric

    You’re not being funny at all.
