OBAMA DOESN’T KNOW HOW TO BE PRESIDENT...

[sirjohn]

“OBAMA DOESN’T KNOW HOW TO BE PRESIDENT... HE IS INCOMPETENT”

Who said this? Surprisingly, not Rush Limbaugh, Sean Hannity, Charles Krauthammer, Bill O’Reilly or any other conservative commentator most people would name.

In fact: Bill Clinton—former Democratic President of the United States blurted this very revealing statement.

I know this juicy tidbit because I just finished one of the most astonishing books I’ve ever had the opportunity to read. Really, this book kept me awake into the wee hours—The Amateur: Barack Obama in the White House.

Yes, this is THE BOOK you’ve heard about, the one driving liberals to apoplexy, the book that rocketed to #1 on the New York Times bestseller list even as the Times tried to destroy the book’s credibility AND the author’s reputation.

Even better—the author of this utterly fascinating (though bone-chilling) exposé is a liberal with rock-solid lefty-media bona fides—former editor-in-chief of the New York Times Magazine, former foreign editor of Newsweek and current contributing editor to Vanity Fair.

With this résumé, you’d expect Edward Klein to be a barking-mad, howl-at-the-moon Obama fanatic. But no! With the stark clarity of a man who has been to the brink and peered into the abyss, Klein shows us a callow, thin-skinned, arrogant president supported by a cast of groveling, true-believing enablers.

Yes, everything you’ve perceived about Barack Obama’s character or lack thereof is true—and then some.

Delusions of grandeur? You may have noticed (how could you not?) that Obama thinks rather highly of himself. Well, you have no idea of the galactic-sized ego possessed by this man-child who’s never worked a day at a real job in his life.

From the lips of Chicago pols who helped Obama rise to power we learn Obama is a man “afflicted with megalomania.” A man “who is never wrong” ... “who doesn’t learn from his mistakes” ... “who blames all his problems on those with whom he disagrees” ... and “who is inept in the arts of governance.”

And that’s from his friends.

I have to confess I’d buy The Amateur just for the chapter titled “The Wrath of Michelle.” This is great reporting. From my own experience I know how hard it is to get anyone to talk openly about Michelle Robinson Obama. But Ed Klein treats us to a tour de force of hard-nosed, shoe-leather reporting.

You’ll also be there as: • Bill Clinton literally begs Hillary to run against Obama in the 2012 primaries, declaring the out-of-his-league POTUS to be “incompetent”... • the Rev. Jeremiah Wright is offered money to please, please keep his big mouth shut... • the ghastly, bickering Kennedy family splits apart over Obama... • “Jambalaya” James Carville angrily lambastes Obama for his “political stupidity”... And much more!

How Ed Klein obtained these and other “from the heart” Democrat revelations of their true feelings about Obama is an amazing display of inside reporting.

Speaking of inside reporting...if you long for truth-seeking news sources and thrive on a degree of exclusivity, then The Amateur isn’t the only publication you must get your hands on.

In case you haven’t seen it yet, Human Events—our nation’s first conservative weekly—is creating quite a stir. It has been completely reinvented to meet today’s unique challenges to our American way of life.

That’s why we at Human Events have worked out a special arrangement for you to receive a free copy of The Amateur with your trial of the new Human Events...

Before I tell you how to take advantage of your trial of the new Human Events and get your free copy of Ed Klein’s The Amateur, I ask just one small favor of you... PLEASE FORGET EVERY MAGAZINE OR NEWSPAPER YOU’VE EVER READ IN YOUR LIFE. THE NEW HUMAN EVENTS IS A WHOLE NEW SPECIES OF JOURNALISM. YOU’VE GOT TO SEE IT (AND JUDGE IT) FOR YOURSELF...

We’re the conservative news source expressly redesigned to capitalize on the most sophisticated reporting technologies available in journalism today—plus new features, more pages, more proven, battle-tested, truth-hunting reporters.

We’re the conservative news source expressly redesigned to advance the ideals of President Ronald Reagan—limited government, strong national defense and individual liberties.

Finally, we’re the conservative news source expressly redesigned to disarm the liberal media, academia, and pop culture of the most insidious power they possess—the power to make you believe things that are JUST PLAIN UNTRUE.

Demolishing this demonic power is, in fact, the main mission of the new Human Events. With honest, hard-nosed, never-give-up reporting and fact-digging, we always strive to bring you that truly rare moment in news where you look up from what you’re reading and exclaim...HEY, I DIDN’T KNOW THAT.

For example, in a recent issue of Human Events we exposed that nearly 100,000 of Obama’s federal workers (the ones he so arduously shielded from the recession) owe a combined $1 billion in back taxes. Some $2 million in delinquent tax revenues could be collected just by going after members and employees of the U.S. Senate.

We also exposed that Obama’s stimulus spending in New Hampshire totaled $985 million and produced 845 jobs. And that in the government-sponsored green energy industry, we taxpayers have handed millions in salaries and bonuses to executives of companies on the road to bankruptcy. (At Solyndra, an Obama favorite, execs took large bonuses just months before declaring bankruptcy.)

But that’s why I think you and the new Human Events should get together. Honestly, you don’t want to miss it...or The Amateur. Try Human Events and Get Your Gift Copy of THE AMATEUR...ABSOLUTELY FREE

Obama Is Doing Stunningly Bad Among African Americans In North Carolina

Brett LoGiurato|Jun.  12, 2012, 

WATCH: What Obama's Embarrassing Primaries In Kentucky And Arkansas Last Month Mean

President Barack Obama is rapidly losing support among  African-American voters in North Carolina, a new poll out today from the Democratic-leaning Public Policy  Polling shows.

The poll finds that Mitt Romney would get 20  percent of the African-American vote if the election were held today, compared  with 76 percent for Obama. Overall, Romney has a 48 percent to 46  percent lead on Obama in the crucial swing state.

Obama received 95 percent of the support from African-Americans in North  Carolina in the 2008 election, compared with just 5 percent for  Republican nominee John McCain.

Public Policy Polling

In PPP's May poll, Obama received 87 percent of the African-American vote to  Romney's 11 percent.

All of Obama's numbers with African-Americans are sliding. His approval  rating is down from 86 percent to 77 percent. Romney's favorability, meanwhile,  has doubled from 9 percent to 18 percent.

Jim Williams, a polling analyst at PPP, said it could be "statistical noise"  that comes with a small sample (only about 200 African-Americans were surveyed).  But he said it was not something the agency has "ever seen before."

"Seventy-something percent is obviously low," Williams told Business  Insider. "It's not something we've ever seen before. It's definitely  something we're going to monitor."

Williams added the obvious: If the results keep turning up like this, it  would be "very bad news for him."

The decline in African-American support for Obama follows the general trend  of voters in North Carolina. A month ago, Obama led Romney by a point. Two  months ago, Obama led by 5 points. Romney has also  swung the important Independent vote to his side — turning a 13-point deficit in  April into a one-point lead in June.

The Devil Wears Obama  

By: DrJohn

At her swanky Manhattan home, Sarah Jessica Parker held a fundraiser for Barack Obama.

NEW YORK – Facing a tightening presidential race and onslaught of cash from pro-Republican outside groups, President Obama tonight got a boost from some of his loyal allies in the film and fashion industries with an exclusive multimillion dollar campaign fundraiser at the home of actress Sarah Jessica Parker and her husband, actor Matthew Broderick.

A party of 50 donors, each paying $40,000 to attend, gathered around a long table just inside the entryway of Parker’s four-story brownstone in the West Village to dine with the president and First Lady Michelle Obama. Spotted at the table were actress Meryl Streep, producer Andy Cohen, designer Michael Kors, “Vogue” editor-in-chief Anna Wintour, and actress Olivia Wilde. (Broderick was not in attendance; the president noted he “had a show to run off to.”)

And with irony exploding on a galactic scale Obama said:

“We’re going to have to fight for it because the American people are tired, they’ve gone through a very tough economy. They’re still having a tough time. And that’s why this election is going to be close,” Obama said.

The American people are tired. They are hurting. They can’t afford $40,000 a plate for dinner.

David Axelrod made the remark that when it comes to the economy Mitt Romney lives on different world from Barack Obama. There’s no question that’s true. While Romney lives on Planet Earth, Obama lives on Planet Hollywood.

They sure aren’t hurting on Planet Hollywood.

Anna Wintour, who apparently is trying to bundle her way to becoming the next Ambassador to England, has created an Obama fashion line. The debut was fashionably pricey:

Tickets ran from $150 for a guest pass to sip cocktails and shop the collection to $1,000 for a VIP package, including a photo reception with Wintour and Iman (aka Mrs. David Bowie) and a limited edition bag, to $2,500 for access to the show, the reception and an exclusive dinner party at Oprah’s Harpo headquarters. Donations benefited the Obama Victory Fund, according to a dedicated page on Obama’s website.

How about a nice Obama dog tee for $40?

Or a nice Thakoon dog leash for $45?

And in a flashback to the movie Devil Wears Prada, Wintour sent out a memo that was, shall we say, emphatic:

Vogue editor in chief Anna Wintour is using her reputation as a demanding fashion editrix to raise money for President Barack Obama. On Sunday, Ms. Wintour sent an email with the subject line “I take deadlines seriously” reminding Obama supporters of the contest for donors to win a chance to attend Sarah Jessica Parker’s fundraiser for the presidentthis month.

“There’s simply no excuse to let this slip,” Ms. Wintour wrote with her trademark dose of mild menace. “I don’t do this sort of thing often–get involved with politics, that is. But I’m doing everything I can to support President Obama this summer and fall because it’s important that we all do.”

And at this super-rich soiree Barack Obama told the Hollywood elite that they are the arbiters of the future direction of the country.

NEW YORK (AP) — President Barack Obama soaked in the support — and the campaign cash — of Manhattan’s elite entertainers Thursday as his re-election team sought to fill its fundraising coffers.

The president and first lady Michelle Obama made a rare joint fundraising appearance when they visited the home of actors Sarah Jessica Parker and Matthew Broderick. The intimate dinner banked about $2 million, with 50 people paying $40,000 each.

The dinner was the Obama campaign’s latest attempt to bank on celebrities for fundraising help in countering the growing donor enthusiasm from Republicans supporting Mitt Romney’s presidential bid.

Speaking in a dimly lighted, art-filled room, Obama told supporters they would play a critical role in an election that would determine a vision for the nation’s future.

“You’re the tie-breaker,” he said. “You’re the ultimate arbiter of which direction this country goes.”

Think of that. Super-wealthy celebrities are the arbiters of the direction the country goes. Mitt Romney is not the only one living on a different planet from Barack Obama. Every other working stiff in the country is as well. When all Obama does is pal around with the super-wealthy, it’s no wonder he thinks the private sector is doing just fine. He is so out of touch with real people that he might as well be on an other world.

One wonders why these people are so supportive of Obama. He must be feverishly protecting their interests – the interests of the super-rich. That’s comforting. Meanwhile, our net worths continue to plummet.
