The sign of a great writer is the ability to create interesting and real characters, and to place them into interesting situations. I just completed reading a book titled The Accidental Further Adventures of the 100 Year Old Man. Writer Jonas Jonasson lives in Sweden and crafted a superb story around two elements; asparagus and uranium. He included world leaders like Trump, Merkel, Putin, Rocket-man Kim Jong un, and others to embellish the story. In my opinion he lost points by making Trump a doofus. Other than that bit of bias I enjoyed the story because it was intriguing and funny. The idea of a one hundred year old man going on adventures drew me in.
So how were asparagus and uranium involved? A side kick of the hundred year old man grew and sold asparagus and the two of them happened upon a suitcase filled with nine pounds of enriched uranium headed for North Korea. Jonasson wove a complicated tale and made it all come together in the end.
Today I read an article titled “Obama’s Competence in Question” by Richard Cohen of Real Clear Politics. Cohen very articulately and logically chronicles the actions of Obama on both foreign and national policies. The author finally questions Obama’s competence or the lack of it.
I find the article amusing. Author Cohen missed the boat on what the president’s job description contains. He assumes a president should handle affairs of state as all previous presidents have done. What he misses is Obama”s agenda differs from past presidents. When your goal is the complete transformation of the greatest country on earth you must think outside the conventional box. Obama’s viewpoint comes from his book “Dreams From My Father.” Many have read this book, but few have understood it.

Obama espouses the same ideology his father did, i.e. the redistribution. His father also abhorred colonialism. Obama Senior grew up in the British colony of Kenya. Barack’s father, and grandfather hated the occupiers and transferred that hatred to baby Barack. Obama Junior blames the ills of the world on colonialism, and blames the United States for exerting its influence over lessor nations, most specifically the Mid-Eastern oil producers, land theft from American Indians, and a land grabbing war with Mexico
The father worked for the Kenyan government as a presidential advisor. He wanted to implement the grandiose idea of income redistribution. The boys in Kenyan high places rejected the idea and promptly demoted him. Obama’s father died a hopeless drunk after losing his great opportunity to change the world, or at least Kenya.
What does this historical drivel have to do with Obama’s competence? His competence to implement an agenda to bring down the United States is genius. He has accomplished two back-breaking policies and is working on the third. First, is his effort to implement the Cloward-Piven strategy to overload the welfare system. Don’t believe me, how about spending over a trillion dollars per year on welfare?
The second step is taking over the health care industry. Progressives have known all along that the key to becoming socialist is to begin by owning health care. Bill Clinton repeatedly has promoted the idea of passing anything that resembles a health care law and then fixing it, aka making it into a single payer system. If Big Brother owns your health care he owns you.
The third step on Obama’s agenda is an open border with Mexico. This move along with total disregard for immigration laws will serve to further overload the system and bankrupt the country. Once the country is bankrupt, and chaos prevails, Commander-in-Chief Obama will declare martial law and take over as a dictator. Hello communism!
In conclusion I disagree with Richard Cohan. Obama’s competency as a regular president is not questionable, it is horrible. His competence as one who transforms the US into a third world country is phenomenal.
A friend sent me a news article by Scott Paulson a contributing reporter to CBS News. Mr. Paulson relates that he went to see the movie ‘2016’ to decide for himself what the hype was about. Surprisingly he came out wondering what the heck is going on in America.
He comments “Yet, I’m glad I saw the hyped-film because it was more informative than I had thought it would be and included less propaganda than I had predicted. If anything it was nearly too informative.”
Another quote from the article , “Fact after fact is put forth which shows that President Obama definitely has many skeletons in the closet that have not been released prior to the nation’s trust in him with the Oval Office.”
I beg you to read this article written by a mainstream media reporter. At least there is one in the group we can listen to.
Ten years ago, I read a book by a little known author named Dinesh D’Souza. The book is “What is so Great About America?” I know what is good about America because I live it, but I wanted the perspective of a young man who came to America from India. He had to learn what is good the hard way. In my mind, he would re-educate me on that which I take for granted.
D’Souza’s book did not disappoint me. He learned very quickly the basic reasons the people of the world admire America, and why some want to destroy us because of our success. I won’t get into the details of the book except to say the word “LIBERTY,” plays a huge role in why America is great.
Yesterday, Peggy and I met up with a group of friends at the AMC movie-theater for the 11:45 a.m. showing of a film titled “2016: Obama’s America.” The movie is an excellent documentary based on D’Souza’s more recent book “The Roots of Obama’s Rage.”
Dinesh D’Souza is expert at unraveling Obama’s background from Obama’s book “Dreams From My Father,” and Obama’s flowery speeches designed to mask his true intentions. Throughout the film D’Souza explains from where Obama derives his ideas. D’Souza then ices the cake by showing us how Obama’s actions comply exactly with his policies. There is no doubt left in the viewer’s mind that the stated policy and the action are congruent.
There are some amazing scenes in the movie taken in India and Africa, in villages where people live in extreme conditions. My mind’s eye saw these scenes evolving in Chicago, New York, Los Angeles, and every city in America. It is not a pretty picture to imagine yet our current direction under Obama will lead us there.
D’Souza interviews Obama’s half brother George in Africa. George seemed like a nice man although somewhat shy about answering questions. George is the antithesis of Barack who answers questions endlessly as though his goal is to run out the clock. George answered in short concise phrases. George’s answer to one question in particular stayed with me. The question asked if Kenya was better off after it broke the colonial ties from Britain. George answered by citing other African countries like South Africa where whites have led longer, and who are better off than Kenya. (I’m sorry George, but isn’t that a bit racist?)
Another policy exposed is Obama’s desire to level the USA with the rest of the world in nuclear weapons. D’Souza displays a map of the world showing the number of nuclear warheads Obama is leading us to. The revealing graphic showed Russia with 1500 and the USA with zero. The Muslim countries had more nuclear weapons than America.
Near the end of the film we are sitting in a classroom full of first or second graders reciting and singing praises to Obama’s greatness.
The most shocking fact came near the end; a graph of the debt America will carry in the future. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to understand that so much debt will lead us into a standard of living equal to that of the hovels and tin shanty villages of India and Kenya.
After the movie we went to lunch where eight of us discussed the film and its messages. Some thought the movie was long others like myself thought it went like the speed of light. After our discussions I concluded those who thought it long leaned toward the hope and change concept.
If you care about America, you must see this film to learn for yourself how Obama defines Hope and Change, then ask yourself is this the America I want?
The Obama birth certificate issue is one that will not go away. It is like a bacterial infection that has not been completely killed. It keeps coming back to make you sick.
The birth certificate of the current fraudulent President of the United States of America is one of those infections. A new article arrived in my e-mail basket this morning from a website called The Power Hour. In this post, they show a birth certificate for one Barack Obama from a hospital in Kenya. The document looks verifiably authentic. Along with the certificate is a sworn statement by a Kenyan who compares this certificate to his own and he swears the form is identical, and authentic. Kenyans are working hard to prove the most powerful man in the world belongs to them.
