Newsweek Is Now History
The liberal Newsweek Magazine is going out of business but not before it attacks the President. Wonderful story!
This is quite an article, even more so when you consider that NEWSWEEK finally had the guts to admit it. WOW!
Newsweek COVER!!! It is their last cover before they fold. Also read the article at the end. AMAZING!!!
Finally,
Matt Patterson and Newsweek speak out about Obama. This is timely and
tough. As many of you know, Newsweek has a reputation for being
extremely liberal. The fact that their editor saw fit to print the
following article about Obama and the one that appears in the latest
Newsweek, makes this a truly amazing event, and a news story in and of
itself. At last, the truth about
our President and his agenda are starting to trickle through the
protective wall built around him by the liberal media...
Years
from now, historians may regard the 2008 election of Barack Obama as an
inscrutable and disturbing 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 the hoariest of clichés, 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
make sense. It could not have gone otherwise with such an impostor in the Oval Office.
