Book Reviews of Barack Obama: An American Story: An American Story (All Aboard Reading)
Book Review: Barack Obama is the 21st Century Reincarnation of 20th Century Black Racist Rap Brown
Summary: 1 Stars
This is not a children's book. It is a work of propaganda. It should be titled, "How to Win Voters and Influence the Media By Playing the Race Card".
1. Obama's only real-world experience during his legal and political career is playing the race card. But for the race card, he would still be a lecturer at the University of Chicago Law School. He has no experience whatever as an executive, manager, or trial atorney. As president his total lack of executive experience would damage America the same way that Mayor Ray Nagin's lack of executive experience has damages New Orleand, But if anyone criticizes Obama, he, his wife, or his surrogates in the media (e.g. Chris Matthews and Andrea Mitchell) will play the race card.
2. Obama's sonorous voice and million dollar smile are not a substitute for his lack of judgment. His decisions on almost every political, economic and social issue have been wrong, and have caused him to lip-flop. He lacks the gravitas required of a president.
3. Obama's so-called policies are jive talk. Like Hitler, he is a charismatic speaker. Like Hitler, he believes that he is the messiah. But like Hitler, he has refused to articulate the "changes" that his political, economic and social policies will cause to America . There is no evidence to support his apocryphal claims. One recent example of his jive talk is his position on the military. Although he has consistently voted against the military, he argued to the VFW that he was pro-military because his relatives had served in the military! Only Democrats can accept the "logic" of his
argument.
4. Obama is a de jure but not a de facto American. He grew up in the alien and exotic cultures in both Hawaiiand Indonesia. After law school, he worked in the hate-filled neighborhoods of South Chicago. As Mark Penn, Hillary's strategist, said, he does not have "roots in America". He does not share our values and culture. His anti-American conduct speaks louder than his pro-American words. The disconnect between his words and actions is like that of his colleague John Edwards who's love affair with a TV producer contradicted hisrhetoric on marital fidelity and family values.
5. Like Stokely Carmichael and H. Rap Brown, Obama is a black separatist. For 20 years, he and his wife approved and supported the hate-speech and hate-ideas of Rev. Wright. Although he is bi-racial, he has chosen to align himself with the Black Establishment and the Congressional Black Caucus. If elected president, he will protect their interests, not the nation's interests. The undisputed evidence supports these claims of his racial animus. First, during the primaries he threw his white grandmother under the bus during the debate about race. If elected, he will do the same to white Ameriica. Second, even now he and his campaign are working to register black voters, but not white voters. How could a man who acts like that unite all Americans?
6. Obama's wife Michelle is an open and notorious anti-American. She speaks and acts as if she was the wife of Venezuela's President Hugo Chavez. She has spent her academic and professional life scorning American values and culture. Her senior thesis proves that she eschewes American values.Even though she is a graduate of Princeton and Harvard Law School, and is campaigning for her husband, Obama has made veiled threats to send "boz from the hood" to beat up anyone who dares to criticizes Michelle.
7. The Democrat's lust for the presidency is so great that they are willing to wink at Obama lack of qualification to be President of the United States and Commander in Chief of our armed forces. Like the German industrialists in 1930s Germany who thought that they could control Hitler, they think that in 21st
Century America that they can control Obama. They are wrong. Only Democrats would put their party's interests ahead of the nation's interests, and place our nuclear arsenal in the hands of an unqualified and untested person like Obama.
8. Independent voters should read this book in conjunction with two other books: Obama Nation and The Case Against Barack Obama. They should weigh the evidence. Then they should decide whether they and the nation should assume the risking of electing as president a person like Obama who is not "of the people, by the people, or for the people".
