our first Affirmative Action President.....guess better late then never.

Subject: Fwd: Last issue of Newsweek
Tolerance is the last virtue of a dying society.” –Aristotle
I guess Newsweek decided to go out with a bang
Newsweek Closed Its Doors with a Slam at Obama
Newsweek Is Now History. 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. 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 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 cliches,
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.
