Muafrika2: Let me assist you there: 100 years from now, historians will wonder why the world's greatest nation committed suicide by voting for a totally unqualified leader By Matt Patterson (Newsweek Columnist — Opinion Writer) 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. |

People like Lucas seem to think that every intellectual is a leader. No-one would contest the intellectual capacity of Obama, but a leader? Obama`s election was a public relation boost for the black man. No more, no less! Obama was presented as a formidable community organiser in Chicago, yet Chicago has become the murder capital of America during his reign. America has the largest concentration of blacks in the West. African Americans are not just like any other blacks, they remain the most successful blacks in the world. What is missing is a good leader that would make them understand that they need a separate power structure to tackle their own peculiar problems- that is what is missing. I refuse to believe that if rich blacks in this community want to tackle endemic poverty among African Americans they won`t be able to do it. The problem is that they are waiting for the white power structure to do it for them-won`t happen! The way America works is that, if Obama has shown the characteristics of a truly radical leader-a leader that can end the sufferings of his people, he would never have gone far in politics, definitely not in the executive branch. The white power structure needed someone they can use to advance their global dominance after Bush, and a clueless black like Obama is a perfect cover for that. But it`s nice to see that his western masters see his refusal to bomb Syria for them as his worst failure. As a Nigerian, I know that no American President has undermined Nigeria more than Obama. But it is his determination to impose his homosexual culture on Africa that I find most un-forgivable. Growing up in Nigeria, I saw people that had the homosexual tendencies, but nobody was bothered by them and they bothered no-one, but to now say Africa needs to legalise homosexuality because that is what the West wants, I mean, who in his right mind, would behave like this? One of the things most of us still continue to struggle with is what the western societiy is all about. In London Priti Patel is the only non-white face in the cabinet of Theresa May. She is of Ugandan Indian heritage and now the Secretary of State for International Development. During the referendum debate, she would say, with a straight face, that immigration was responsible for every ill in the UK. As Secretary, she has been saying that aid should be linked to trade. What that means for Africa is that they have to buy British goods and services as well as hand over their economy before they can get the rubbish they call aid. Of course, this has been going on for ever, but no one has ever attempted turning it into a policy. My point is, we Africans should know beyond any doubt that, the west only embrace people that would advance western interests, not African or black interests, so celebrating Obama or Priti Patel because they are senior politicians in the West is naive Obama would leave office as the most important African American so far, then what? What is his legacy? What policies can we talk of that benefit Africa or African Americans? Oh well, Obama Care, I guess! 6 Likes 2 Shares |

The most surprising and unbelievable thing to me as a Blackman is the inborn hatred of a Blackman against a successful Blackman. This are the same guys that will kiss the behind of a Whiteman in a jiffy but will condemn a worthy son of an African in a jiffy without knowing the facts. For all you Obama haters, here are some facts you guys don't know or just fail to recognize due to your hatred of Obama. What was the situation in America before Obama became president on January 20, 2009 ?. Here are the facts since most of you don't know diddly square about America unless you Google or go to your white racist blogs and journals for your info. UNEMPLOYMENT IN 2008 WHEN GEORGE BUSH WAS LEAVING THE WHITE HOUSE WAS 10%, NOW IT'S 5%. DOW JONES WAS 6,200, NOW IT'S OVER 18,200. S&P WAS 680 NOW IT'S OVER 2000. THOSE TWO ARE WEALTH CREATORS FOR AMERICANS AND INDICATION OF ECONOMIC GROWTH. CONSUMER CONFIDENCE WAS 37% AND NOW IT'S 98%. DEFICIT OF GDP WAS 10% AND NOW 3%. THERE WAS NO AFFORDABLE CARE ACT ON JANUARY 20, 2009 WHICH MEANS MORE THAN 40 MILLION AMERICANS HAVE NO INSURANCE, NOW AFTER ACA WHICH IS KNOWN AS OBAMACARE, MORE THAN 20 MILLION AMERICANS ARE FULLY INSURED. TOWARDS THE END OF GEORGE BUSH LAST MONTHS, AMERICA WAS LOSING 800.000 JOBS A MONTH AND OBAMA CAME IN AND STEM THE DAMAGE AND THE ECONOMY HAS ADDED OVER 12 MILLION JOBS IN 8 YEARS. I REMEMBER VERY VIVIDLY WHEN THE LEHMAN BROTHERS, ENRON AND OTHER BIG AMERICAN COMPANIES WERE GOING BELLY UP DUE TO BUSH WORTHLESS WARS IN IRAQ AND AFGHANISTAN. AMERICA ECONOMY IS STABLE NOW WITH GROWTH. THAT'S SOME OF OBAMA'S ACHIEVEMENT. I do not expect blackmen filled with inborn hatred of another successful blackman to understand that. This are the same people that worship people like Pootin, Afeez Assad and others that don't give a damn about them. No wonder why Africa is a big mess of a Continent. This same set of people will blame Obama if they can't make love to their wife or girlfriend. If they get bitten by mosquitoes, it's OBAMA'S fault. Yes, Obama is not perfect, but who is. This my people here are the same people electing one worthless leader after another to run Nigeria and we see a country that's suppose to be the Pride of Africa turns to a shame of Africa due to corruption and nepotism. Enough of the senseless Obama bashing. People like me will defend him vigorously especially against the people that can't carry his jock strap on their best days. Blacks hating Blacks is a disease that's been the Achille hills of Black Race. |

Lucasbalo 1. " 3rd world " is a term created by a French racist self styled Mr. Now -it -all , so intelligent him and his peers did not see the German army coming when Hitler came to power in 1933. After we Africans saved their butts at Verdun ( WW 1), we had to help get their tails off the hands of Germany in WW2 when undrr Hilter their freaking country was overran in a matter of a week. So when they take pride using words like that we laugh. FYI De Gaulle was not in Britain when he fled like a little girl from occupied France in 1940, he was actually hiding in Cameroon . 2. Now the Kenyan Obama: you know what , a U.S. president' s legacy is not only assessed from the domestic or ethnic persepectives, but also from his intertional accomplishments. We are not in the 1850s or the 1950s before the so called Civil Rights Act. MAYBE back then we would only be celebrating a negro having made it to the Devil's House (The White House) , and close our eyes on other things . Obama's African policy was embarrassing to say the least. He has yet to tell us why he backed all French and British criminal acts against the development of Africa. He has yet to explain to people with common sense why he, a young man born in the 1960s stood up before the most family- pride -oriented people (I mean Africans) in the world and tell them they should overturn their thousands year -old traditions and allow men to get married with men. Does he really think him being the president of the United States is the Solution to every issue? An intelligent and wise man would never ever go that way.And We want to remind him we Africans had knowledgeable people and great leaders thousands years before him at a time when his ancestors on his White mother's side were living in caves and beheading each other in Europe.Keep in mind we had after Egypt the kingdoms of Wagadu ( or Ghana) , Aoudaghost, Songhai, Zimbabwe, Abomey, Mali, Kush, the Zulu empire etc. Him having the guts to come in our face and lecture us over the need to tolerate homosexuality demonstrated how low ,confused ,lost and despicable are many of the African derivatives who born in the Americas or elsewhere . They don't realize we are the original Black people. We keep our traditions, no matter what. Europeans and their brainwashed slaves controlling the world does not mean our traditions have disappeared. Are we proud of him? we are proud a Black blooded president was able to sit in the Oval Office of that Executive Mansion in that land where the White man took our people as slaves, raped our women, hanged our brothers and sisters, burned alive our children and threw many of them into the depths of the sea. But we have to remain vigilant on what our History should remember so that it would not be misleading to our descendants. 4 Likes 1 Share |
