                                THE OPTIMIST INSIDE ME…

is shouting:   “Everyone KNOWS this !…it’s going to be a rout.”  The pessimist inside me replies:  “No one ever went broke overestimating the gullibility of the American Public.”

     The optimist then leaves the discussion, retires to his room, locks the door, turns off the lights, and shudders in silence over the fate of the Nation should the pessimist prevail.  For even the optimist, in his most optimistic mood ,  realizes the stakes involved in next November’s election.  And because he does, he forwards this article to you.

                    Wall Street Journal Sizes Up Obama                    

 A "deadly" article regarding Obama, at the Wall  Street Journal, which today is the most widely circulated newspaper  in America.

 

     Article from the Wall Street Journal - by Alan Caruba:
 
                      "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 (George Soros anybody?) 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 determined 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, 3 full years into his presidency, 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 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.
                    We the people are coming!
                    Only 86% will send this on. Should be a 100%.
What will you do?
                    Please send it on if only to one person.
