Barack Obama is a Joke–Times Article Proves It

The closer we get to November, the more light will be shed on this joke of a "nominee", Barack Hussein Obama. My head is spinning at the reality that Obama is the one the DNC party bosses are pushing forward as the nominee of the party, despite all of the evidence that he is not built for the job of leader of the free world and that he doesn’t have the experience to boot. He will never beat John McCain. This is McCain’s to lose and with the recent news that the RNC is oiling up their big guns, it is all but a "foregone conclusion" that either Hillary Clinton or John McCain will be the next president of this nation.
A New York Times article by Serge Kovaleski, Obama’s Organizing Years, Guiding Others and Finding Himself, attempts to speak well of Obama but it appears that Mr. Kovaleski is willing to do what a journalist is supposed to do–tell the truth. In the article, Kovaleski writes of Obama’s "organizing years" (all three of them…) in Chicago [Kovaleski interviewed Gerald Kellman, the man who hired Obama for the job]:
It is clear that the benefit of those years to Mr. Obama dwarfs what he accomplished. Mr. Kellman said that Mr. Obama had built the organization’s following among needy residents and black ministers, but “on issues, we made very little progress, nothing that would change poverty on the South Side of Chicago.”
When he ran for the Senate in 2004, Mr. Obama told members of the community organization that had employed him that “when I left to go to law school, I couldn’t tell exactly whether I had gotten more out of this than the people I was working with.”
Very little progress on issues. Those are Mr. Kellman’s words, then notice that Obama has admitted himself that he got more out of his time "organizing" than the people he was supposed to be organizing. Just a greedy, opportunist.
Then, these few lines add further proof to my belief that Obama joined Trinity United Church of Christ for nothing more than to benefit himself and his career endeavors:
Mr. Obama faced skepticism from Baptist and Pentecostal pastors unwilling to use their influence to help him organize their members. His group had consisted almost entirely of Catholic churches, and its top officials were white and Jewish.
“Barack had to get beyond the accusation that he was working for Catholics and Jews who were trying to make money off the community,” Mr. Kellman said.
Mr. Obama wrote that a minister suggested it would be helpful if he belonged to a church, and he joined the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr.’s congregation after hearing a sermon about faith’s power to inspire underdogs.
Then, Obama is proven a liar, yet again, in this part of the article.:
In a stirring scene from his memoir, Mr. Obama describes an organizing success at Altgeld Gardens, a badly neglected housing project.
Mr. Obama wrote that one day an Altgeld parent handed him a newspaper advertisement soliciting bids to remove asbestos from Altgeld’s management office.
Mr. Obama recounted that he helped arrange a bus trip to the housing authority headquarters where residents had demanded a meeting with the executive director and a pledge that residential units would be tested for asbestos. As television cameras rolled, the residents were promised testing and a meeting.
“I changed as a result of that bus trip, in a fundamental way,” Mr. Obama wrote. It was the kind of action that “hints at what might be possible and therefore spurs you on.”
What Mr. Obama does not mention in his book is that residents of the nearby Ida B. Wells housing project, and some at Altgeld itself, had already been challenging the housing authority on asbestos. A local newspaper had also taken up the issue.
Do yourself a favor and read the entire article. The section about how much of a failure that bus trip was is classic and hilarious to boot. One thing I will give Obama credit for is this. He has managed to bamboozle more people than I could have ever imagined possible. None of his supporters have bothered to actually research him beyond his own website and even in the face of evidence to the contrary to who he says he is, they just don’t want to hear it.
Kovaleski wraps up the article with the most important part of the entire piece. The section that shows Obama for the light-weight, stamina-lacking joke that he is. He quit that "organizing" job. Cut tail and ran like the loser that he is despite all of his present touting of himself as some change agent who can get the job done. After that bus trip proved to be such miserable failure, this is what the Great Black Nope did.:
Later that night, Mr. Obama called Johnnie Owens, whom he would hire as a community organizer. Never had Mr. Obama sounded so downcast or frustrated, Mr. Owens said.
“Barack basically talked about how tough it was to generate real results through organizing and that it was embarrassing to him to have the residents out of control,” he recounted.
“He wondered if he had done a good enough job preparing them for the meeting,” Mr. Owens said. “He sounded angry at himself. He was questioning the whole methodology.”
Mr. Obama had risen to executive director of the Developing Communities group, but the demanding hours, small victories and low pay took a toll on him, and he decided to leave.
“ ‘We are not making large-scale change, and I want to be involved in doing that,’ ” Mr. Kellman said Mr. Obama had told him.
How can you be prepared to make "large-scale change" if you can’t even handle the small things? This man has bounced from one job to another over the years, having earned no real lengthy leadership experience and all of a sudden he’s ready to be leader of the free world??? And, this friends is the most hilarious part of the entire article:
Mr. Obama had mused to friends in Chicago about one day working for unions or becoming a preacher, a journalist or even a fiction writer.
I’d like to let Obama know that he can mark one of those things off of that list because he’s already an accomplished "fiction writer" as both of his memoirs are proving to be more-so works of fiction than fact. A Million Little Pieces, anyone?
One of the greatest things about his candidacy, for my own purposes, is that it has allowed me to break free from blind allegiance to the Democratic Party and democracy run amok. When I think back on John Kerry’s run for the presidency back in 2004, I can barely remember a thing about it. I wasn’t particularly pleased with him, but he was a Democrat, so of course I had to vote for him–or so I thought. In hindsight, Kerry was weak and he too was a joke. I should have just slept in on that morning back in 2004. Were it not for the absolute necessity that we do all we can to keep this con artist out of the White House, I would sleep in this go ’round. But, I’ll get up that morning and head to my local polling place to cast a vote for McCain if the DNC doesn’t come to its senses by August and make Hillary the official nominee. Who would have thought it would have come to this? Party Unity, My Ass. –SUGAR
