I do not believe those suffering from BDS were in any way prepared for the huge societal shift that he headed using a brilliant campaign.
Changes of the magnitude we’re experiencing, having a black president with a muslim background who’s acculturation is basically anti American is a compression similar to nitrogen narcosis. Had obama been a bit more seasoned, actually sponsored bills and debated them and had a track record of years of service on the national level the people #1 would never have elected him or #2 understood who they were electing.

As it turned out we elected a man who may not be eligible to actually be President, has a mindset of a street hustler selling eightballs on the corner and pimping for money. He is a great teleprompter reader which in the semi fantasy world many Americans live in is a big plus. Factually most Americans couldn’t locate the South Pole on a globe and certainly finding Afghanistan would be an impossibility without a 3M sticky arrow pointing to it.But they do get to vote and are easily influenced by the shiny new toy.

Societal changes of the magnitude we have just undergone are like tectonic plates releasing energy and rocking many peoples worlds. obama has not been a healer but a shaman, no make that mullah, using incompetent staffers and a hide from genuine open public forums where hard questions might be asked. He’s practicing public voodoo. His last press conference complete with a highly touted Internet “town meeting forum” approach turned out to be similar to the fake trading floor at Enron that Enron would show off to analysts to show how successful Enron was. Obama PLANTED the questioners and the puff ball questions.

So whether one looks a priori/a posteriori at obama AND has eyes wide open to new input, as it stands now he’s not what was advertised nor expected and that is not a comfort for most Americans.

obama is a huckster, a grifter, and is not what the nation bought into. obama – ONE and DONE.
