A symbol of the Obama Presidency

Posted by Rick

Published: November 1, 2010 - 9:16 AM

The following photograph from Reuters speaks volumes in my mind as to how Obama is perceived and how he's cultivated that perception:

r1433985915.jpg

The caption to the Reuters photo reads as follows:

A man gets on his knees next to a car carrying U.S. President Barack Obama as he pulls away from Valois restaurant in Chicago, October 31, 2010.

That man would do much better in realizing that Obama isn't who he says or pretends to be and that in fact, he's a prevaricator and a deceiver unlike anything we've seen in a very long time.

Sad times we live in when the destitute amongst us are so intentionally duped.

He has lowered the prestige of the office to an all time low, he is a small man. That's what inexperience and Marxism will do for weak minds.

You want to know the mind of Obamalala concerning WWII? Read the post at the link. If you have a relative or like my case, a dad and two uncles, that fought the Japanese in the pacific. This will make your blood boil as it did mine and the professor that attended this conference sanctioned by Obamalala and his NEH Chairman.

In 2 years, repubs should use this image when they run their candidate against Nobama. That is, if he hasn't left before then.

That gentleman could be any of us, up against the wall with nowhere left to turn. And all the while, the incompetent in the White House and his cronies, I mean Czars, continue to wreck the economy and destroy more and more jobs while playing the blame game.

No worries Barry, let's vacation again.

Side note: What really suprises me is that Reuters took and ran the photo in the first place.

When you see something like this or are surprised at a 'negative tone' in something from the MSM about Obama it's important to remember something - they're trying to show their fantasy land view that Americans are not unhappy with Obama's liberalism (ok, socialism), but are unhappy that Obama hasn't been liberal enough. So in this photo what they're trying to show is not what we all see - they're trying to show that this guy is begging Obama to give him more handouts and be more liberal and spread more wealth around. (which, for all we know, could be the case, which is why 'using' this photograph without knowing the full story would be risky...plus he's black, and if a candidate ever used it, even a black candidate, it would be RAAAAAACIST!)
