As
Told To,
George
Sontag*
Most
of my life I identified as a Liberal. I was an ardent supporter of
Bill Clinton, a critic of George W. Bush and later was absolutely
enamored with Barack Obama. In fact, in early 2008, I felt that the
Obama presidency might be historic so
I went
to see the man in person. I was not disappointed. Not only did I find
him to be even more charismatic and articulate than I even thought he
was, I was even more convinced that he was about to bring “Change
We Can Believe In.” The
moment was electric, as it felt like I was seeing into the soul of
one of the greatest and most sincere leaders the world has ever
known. I may have been willing to give him my left arm right then and
there if he asked for it.
Twelve
years later, much has changed–and it is not the ‘change we can
believe in’ that Obama was touting in 2004 but
a change within me. As an
intelligent person I subscribe to the notion that
if our thinking is to continue to grow and evolve, we must always
subject our own cherished beliefs to scrutiny, especially in the face
of events that contradict them. While I found many of Obama’s early
speeches to be inspiring and captivating, some of the policies coming
out of his administration were a bit disturbing.
During
his second term I
could see that
his actions in the world appeared contradictory to his promise of
peaceful collaboration, while his rhetoric, always measured, became
more serious and less heartening. However,
I went along with the popular theory that Obama was highly
compromised, as all presidents are, and that he had to ‘play ball’
with the powerful forces behind American politics instead of really
doing what he wanted if he was to avoid the fate of JFK.
Today,
I believe
I have been fooled. I can’t
say that I know for sure who Barack Obama is, or ever was. There
is mounting evidence
that
seems
to
show
that he has been part of criminal activity like massive illegal
domestic surveillance, unjust violence abroad under the fog of war
and terrorism, a reduction of protections for whistle-blowers, and
huge cover-ups of the illegal activities of people connected to his
administration.
Anyone
who paid any attention at all to what was going on during the Obama
years would know that what happened in the summer of 2016 within
Obama’s Justice Department was the climax of an eight-year
crescendo of partisan corruption, intent on protecting Obama’s
legacy From
the earliest days of the Obama administration, the Obama/Holder/Lynch
Justice Department protected political allies from justice. Obama
blocked a corruption probe that implicated former Senate Majority
Leader Harry Reid(D)
for bribery. He also illegally fired an inspector general who was
investigating an Obama friend and donor. Obama and Attorney General
Eric Holder worked in concert to protect each other. Holder would
stonewall congressional investigations into Obama administration
corruption and Obama would assert executive privilege to keep
damaging information away from the eyes of investigators, such as
crucial documents in the Fast and Furious investigation.
Was
this
American Constitutionalist right? Was he
a Manchurian candidate of
the Leftist elite
from the start, or was he an idealistic community organizer who rose
to great heights only to get the hammer of reality dropped on him
when he was inaugurated? Did he succumb to threats, bribes, and other
such enticements to become ideologically and morally aligned with
dark forces?
He
currently portrays himself, as a good person and a great president
whose administration, in his words, ‘didn’t have a scandal’? Since his net worth has gone up by 163 times since he left the White House that alone bears investigation. Was he paid off as a puppet of the Leftist elite as we have stated for over 10 years and now reaps the windfall promised him? If the Democrats win in November it will probably never be addressed but if they loose, much more will be revealed.
Let’s see where
the evidence leads.

Barack Hussein Obama wrote a couple of books before he ever became a presidential candidate. My husband and I read them, as we were had never heard of BHO before, and we were very curious. After reading BHO's books we were completely against his campaign and would tell everyone we spoke with why.
ReplyDeleteIt was astounding to us that the media continously covered for that sack of human excrement. We were floored watching so-called journalists falling all over themselves to help BHO whenever he screwed up in interviews.
Barack Hussein Obama hates the United States and wants to destroy it. BHO articulates his true love in his books: Marxism and Islam. Our media is complicit in the destruction of this country. The media should've exposed BHO's books and their content to the light of day, instead they hid it all.
Now the media is doing the same thing for Joe Biden, by defecting and covering anything that would make the average voter think twice about voting for Biden (e.g. Hunter Biden's dealings with the Ukraine and China). I fear that the fourth estate is completely rotten to the core, and our country is too hooked on distractions to do their own research before voting. Our Republic is circling the drain.
