One Guy's Opinion on the Political Scene By: Jim Herndon
I retract what I said about Barack Hussein Obama being an empty vessel with no skills, no experience, and no knowledge beyond what he learned as a community organizer in Chicago gutter politics.
Interestingly, I now read that closer examination of Hussein’s organizer resume reveals that he even lied about that; he apparently was only a volunteer phone-answerer and solicitor and never met with dignitaries or performed other higher-order tasks that he claimed. How pathetic is this? His only qualifications for President are of community organizer, and he has to lie about that. He does have expertise, however. He is good at reading a scripted speech from a teleprompter, and he is a very good liar; although, as a prevaricator, he has the advantage of the best credentials. He is not only a lawyer but a Chicago politician. He deserves this all-pro liar status because he does it with such earnestness, and, unlike whopper-tellers like Al Gore, his lies have the sense of plausibility about them, provided one lets them pass without further analysis which is the typical public response. He recently said that he had always supported the troops in Iraq, and that President Bush was finally taking Obama’s advice and speaking of a staged withdrawal from Iraq. Obama never supported the war, opposed funding the troops, opposed the surge and said it would not work, and recommended a complete withdrawal of troops months ago, which would have caused a complete loss for America. Now that the surge has worked, Iraq is assuming more of the role of eliminating terrorists, and complete victory is in sight, Hussein is angling to pick up some of the credit. He started his campaign claiming he is for change, and he is proving it. He regularly changes his position on issues depending upon which way the political winds are blowing.
