Obama, the smartest President? You've got to be kidding. Compared to Clinton? Clinton was a Rhodes Scholar. He just had this embarrassing "zipper" problem....
Well yes, the zipper problem,and also the lying problem - and the fact that he too worked for the Illuminati. But I agree, there's no comparison between the two in terms of intelligence.

I suppose the real problem is that humans are so easily duped into 'buying' an ideology - whether for financial gain or that it enables them to feel special and avoid facing their problems. Obama is nothing but an empty suit - a pied piper for the idiots.
I commend to you Solzhenitsyn's "Lenin In Zurich", a book I read years ago. It is fiction, yet invaluable to the understanding of the last century, and the next. I am about to share with you a secret known to few: Lenin, Stalin, Hitler, Mussolini, Mao, Deng, Pol Pot, Castro, and Solzhenitsyn himself. And me. And now you.
Socialism does not exist except in the imagination of the true believer and the useful idiot. None of the names I listed believed there was such a thing as socialism. They knew it for what it was: a means of fooling mass numbers of people into following them, and thus achieving power. Political power. Military power. Economic power. Absolute power. As you read Lenin in Zurich you understand that Lenin doesn't believe a word of the ideological nonsense he spouts. He translates his agenda, long term and immediate, into terms that are palatable to his mass following.
.....................................Lenin In Zurich presents the litany of techniques which can be copied by any tyrant.
The leader need not continue to spout socialist claptrap, except to continue to fool his flock. And they are willing fools. Given the socialist framework, the flock will fill in the blanks themselves, centralizing power in the center. All to the advantage of the boss, who doesn't give a damn about the flock.
That's why we still hear communist dupes who tell us socialism failed in the Soviet Union because it wasn't done properly. The leaders didn't quite get it right. Not so. Socialism failed in the Soviet Union because socialism does not exist.
So, what can we say about the United States today? Our leader, and those who are his helpmates, do appear to be committed socialists. That means they haven't looked behind the curtain. They don't know the magician's trick.
Who is our Lenin? Who is our Stalin? Who is our Mao? This would have to be someone who knows socialism is meaningful only to his willing fools. Someone who will capitalize when a socialist government in America is complete. My money is on George Soros, but I could be mistaken. Whoever it is, when he has achieved power, we had all better watch out.

Your observations are right. But the only mistake I personally see is that he likes to campaign. It's all he can do well. He is a media creation and it was predicted to happen in 1990 in a Vanity Fair article.

Here is a long but well written article from my not so favorite magazine on the guy.

Have you done any real research on Bush "W"?
Nevermind - - I already know the answer.

So do we.
The answer is that all these posts about Bush are nothing but deflection attempts to try and get the negative focus off of obama by people who should know better by now than to keep supporting a man who no longer deservers their support.
Come on, you can admit it it to yourselves now. Start by asking yourselves exactly how has obama lived up to his campaign promises - especially the ones that resonated with you enough to make you vote for the man.
OK now. Take a deep breath, let the reality sink in, and just let him go ...
Many of us had to do the same with Bush, so we know it is possible!

Yes. They attack Bush to deflect attention away from the Obama train wreck taking place
in real time.

Just as this forum (thread) has NOTHING to do with Bush.
It's about how little obama understands about what's taking place all around him.
Just reminding everyone ...

NO - - it isn't really about that either.
It is about some "unknown - unnamed" - - get ready for it - - INSIDER - - making unfounded claims.

Thought exercise for you.
Let's say you worked in the Bush administration, but had grown disenchanted with the direction they were taking the country and so decided to "anonymously" start leaking the innermost workings of that administration.
Now here's the REAL thought exercise for you ...
How long do you suppose you'd get to stay there to keep leaking info ...
wait for it ...
IF YOU TOLD EVERYONE YOUR NAME???

. . . anybody could claim to be an insider without any proof because of the required anonymity.
If somebody said this about Bush, I'd be just as skeptical unless there was some sort of corroborating evidence that the person was legit.

And explain to me what evidence you have again that this mysterious individual is authentic? Aside from the claims of these partisan sources that he is?
We can theorize that he may very well be somebody unhappy with the administration, and for all you know, I may be Bill Clinton?
Anything is possible, I get your point, it's just highly unlikely this man is truly what he says given that there's absolutely no evidence to point to who he is, and given that he only appears on sources that tend to be anti-Obama in anycase.
I get the feeling you know this source is probably fake, but it gives you another avenue to complain about this administration. Not sure why you need to do this though, there are plenty of relevant policies to point against Obama over. You don't need to make up a source in the whitehouse to criticize the president.
