In 2009, a man was placed into the highest office in the land. His background was murky, he seemed to come from nowhere. He had no ideas. His campaign slogan was "Hope" and "Change". He didn't explain what his slogan meant nor was he asked to.
He was placed in OUR Whitehouse with the help of ACORN, The Media and voters who wanted someone other than Bush. He is an odd mixture of marxism, socialism, liberalism (in the modern sense) and profoundly anti-American. Many believe him to be an usurper.
He likened himself to Abe Lincoln though I never saw any comparison at all except they were both from Illinois. How dare he? This man is no patriot. He loathes my nation and feels the need to apologize for her boldness and freedom. How dare the Media place in a man to conform to their anti- American ideolgy. Land slide MY ASS!
Like you I have wondered where this guy came from, within 5 years of entering the senate as a Junior member from Illinois, he never made any substanial speeches within that time and hardly voted, but 5 years later he was elected President of the most powerful country in the world, how did this happen? who is behind him pulling the strings? I believe America is a land of opportunity, but for someone to attain the highest political office with no real experience leaves a lot of unanswered questions.
Obama is a great Orator(as long as he has his autocue) but great Orators do not make great presidents, they need values and a policy to improve the Nation, Obama doesn't seem to have either.
There are also many questions to be asked about the part Acorn played in getting Obama elected, but the sound of silence is deafening.
As A Brit I worry about what the most powerful man in the world will do and say, it has an effect on everyone to some extent, up to now all he and the Democrats have seemed to be doing is apologisiing for upseting Iranians, N Koreans, Slaves, the Taliban, the immates of Gitmo anyone who G W Bush upset or called a member of the axis of evil, my main hope is that in a year or so most Americans will come to their senses and elect Republican senators and Congressmen so that Obamas excesses and his ambitions can be thwarted.
