Liberal News Magazine DESTROYS Barack Obama As It Closes
Its Doors - Newsweek Dead!
Newsweek closes doors with a
very large bang!


The liberal Newsweek magazine is going out of
business but not before it attacks the President. This is quite an article, even
more so when you consider that NEWSWEEK finally had the guts to admit it.
Finally, Matt Patterson and Newsweek speak out about Obama.

Years from now,
historians may regard the 2008 election of Barack Obama as an inscrutable and
phenomenon, the result of a baffling breed of mass hysteria akin perhaps to the
witch craze of the Middle Ages. How, they will wonder, did a man so devoid of
professional accomplishment beguile so many into thinking he could manage the
world's largest economy, direct the world's most powerful military, execute the
world's most consequential job?

Imagine a future historian examining
Obama's pre-presidential life: ushered into and through the Ivy League, despite
unremarkable grades and test scores along the way; a cushy non-job as a
"community organizer;" a brief career as a state legislator devoid of
legislative achievement (and in fact nearly devoid of his attention, less often
did he vote "present"); and finally an unaccomplished single term in the United
States Senate, the entirety of which was devoted to his presidential ambitions.


He left no academic legacy in academia, authored no signature
legislation as a legislator. And then there is the matter of his troubling
associations: the white-hating, America-loathing preacher who for decades served
as Obama's "spiritual mentor;" a real-life, actual terrorist who served as
Obama's colleague and political sponsor. It is easy to imagine a future
historian looking at it all and asking: how on Earth was such a man elected
president? There is no evidence that he ever attended or worked for any
university or that he ever sat for the Illinois bar. We have no documentation
for any of his claims. He may well be the greatest hoax in history. Not content
to wait for history, the incomparable Norman Podhoretz addressed the question
recently in the Wall Street Journal: To be sure, no white candidate who had
close associations with an outspoken hater of America like Jeremiah Wright and
an unrepentant terrorist like Bill Ayers, would have lasted a single day. But
because Mr. Obama was black, and therefore entitled in the eyes of liberal Dom
to have hung out with protesters against various American injustices, even if
they were 'a bit' extreme, he was given a pass. Let that Sink in: Obama was
given a pass - held to a lower standard because of the color of his skin.
Podhoretz continues: And in any case, what did such ancient history matter when
he was also so articulate and elegant and (as he himself had said)
"non-threatening," all of which gave him a fighting chance to become the first
black president and thereby to lay the curse of racism to rest? Podhoretz puts
his finger, I think, on the animating pulse of the Obama phenomenon -
affirmative action. Not in the legal sense, of course. But certainly in the
motivating sentiment behind all affirmative action laws and regulations, which
are designed primarily to make white people, and especially white liberals, feel
good about themselves. Unfortunately, minorities often suffer so that whites can
pat themselves on the back.

Liberals routinely admit minorities to
schools for which they are not qualified, yet take no responsibility for the
inevitable poor performance and high drop-out rates which follow. Liberals don't
care if these minority students fail; liberals aren't around to witness the
emotional devastation and deflated self-esteem resulting from the racist policy
that is affirmative action. Yes, racist. Holding someone to a separate standard
merely because of the color of his skin - that's affirmative action in a
nutshell, and if that isn't racism, then nothing is. And that is what America
did to Obama. True, Obama himself was never troubled by his lack of
achievements, but why would he be? As many have noted, Obama was told he was
good enough for Columbia despite undistinguished grades at Occidental; he was
told he was good enough for the US Senate despite a mediocre record in Illinois;
he was told he was good enough to be president despite no record at all in the
Senate. All his life, every step of the way, Obama was told he was good enough
for the next step, in spite of ample evidence to the contrary.

What
could this breed if not the sort of empty narcissism on display every time Obama
speaks? In 2008, many who agreed that he lacked executive qualifications
nonetheless raved about Obama's oratory skills, intellect, and cool character.
Those people - conservatives included - ought now to be deeply embarrassed. The
man thinks and speaks in he hoariest of clich?¿½s, and that's when he has his
Teleprompters in front of him; when the prompter is absent he can barely think
or speak at all. Not one original idea has ever issued from his mouth - it's all
warmed-over Marxism of the kind that has failed over and over again for 100
years. (An example is his 2012 campaign speeches which are almost word for word
his 2008 speeches) And what about his character? Obama is constantly blaming
anything and everything else for his troubles. Bush did it; it was bad luck; I
inherited this mess. Remember, he wanted the job, campaigned for the task. It is
embarrassing to see a president so willing to advertise his own powerless-ness,
so comfortable with his own incompetence. (The other day he actually came out
and said no one could have done anything to get our economy and country back on
track). But really, what were we to expect? The man has never been responsible
for anything, so how do we expect him to act responsibly?

In short: our
president is a small-minded man, with neither the temperament nor the intellect
to handle his job. When you understand that, and only when you understand that,
will the current erosion of liberty and prosperity makes sense. It could not
have gone otherwise with such an impostor in the Oval Office.

 

Actually; he destroyed himself....this just enumerates it...and rightly so. This is very well laid out and is the truth libs fail to see...and don't care to see.
