“PIG IN A POKE” DESCRIPTION PRETTY MUCH SUMS IT UP.
“We’ve Figured Him Out” by Ben Stein
As President Barack Obama’s poll rating head south, Ben Stein explains
why in The American Spectator:Why is President Barack Obama in such a hurry to get his socialized
medicine bill passed?
Because he and his cunning circle realize some basic truths:
The American people in their unimaginable kindness and trust voted for
a pig in a poke in 2008. They wanted so much to believe Barack Obama
was somehow better and different from other ultra-leftists that they
simply took him on faith.
They ignored his anti-white writings in his books. They ignored his
quiet acceptance of hysterical anti-American diatribes by his minister,
Jeremiah Wright.They ignored his refusal to explain years at a time of his life as a
student.. They ignored his ultra-left record as a “community
organizer,” Illinois state legislator, and Senator.The American people ignored his total zero of an academic record as a
student and teacher, his complete lack of scholarship when he was being
touted as a scholar.Now, the American people are starting to wake up to the truth. Barack
Obama is a super likeable super leftist, not a fan of this country,
way, way too cozy with the terrorist leaders in the Middle East, way
beyond naïveté, all the way into active destruction of our interests
and our allies and our future.The American people have already awakened to the truth that the
stimulus bill — a great idea in theory — was really an immense bribe
to Democrat interest groups, and in no way an effort to help all
Americans.Now, Americans are waking up to the truth that ObamaCare basically
means that every time you are sick or injured, you will have a clerk
from the Department of Motor Vehicles telling your doctor what he can
and cannot do.The American people already know that Mr. Obama’s plan to lower health
costs while expanding coverage and bureaucracy is a myth, a promise of
something that never was and never will be — a bureaucracy lowering
costs in a free society. Either the costs go up or the free society
goes away.
Mr. Obama knows Americans are getting wise and will stop him. There is
his urgency and our opportunity.
Once freedom is lost, America is lost. Wake up, beloved America.

Looking for evidence of Obama’s past, Fox News contacted 400 Columbia
University students from the period when Obama claims to have been
there, but none remembered him.
Wayne Allyn Root was, like Obama, a political science major at Columbia
who also graduated in 1983. In 2008, Root says of Obama, “I don’t know a
single person at Columbia that knew him, and they all know me.
I don’t have a classmate who ever knew Barack Obama at Columbia. Ever!
Nobody recalls him. I’m not exaggerating, I’m not kidding.” Root adds
that he was also, like Obama, “Class of ‘83 political science, pre-law” and
says, “You don’t get more exact or closer than that. Never met him in my
life, don’t know anyone who ever met him. At the class reunion, our 20th
reunion five years ago, who was asked to be the speaker of the class?
Me.
No one ever heard of Barack Hussein! And five years ago, nobody even knew who he
was. The guy who writes the class notes, who’s kind of the, as we say in
New York, the macha who knows everybody, has yet to find a person, a
human who ever met him. Is that not strange?
It’s very strange.” Obama’s photograph does not appear in the school’s
yearbook and Obama consistently declines requests to talk about his
years at Columbia, provide school records, or provide the name of any former
classmates or friends while at Columbia.

NOTE: Root graduated as Valedictorian from his high school,
Thornton-Donovan School, then graduated from Columbia University in 1983
as a Political Science major (in the same class as President Barack
Obama WAS SUPPOSED TO HAVE BEEN IN)
We’ve Figured Him Out
By Ben Stein/American Spectator
Why is President Barack Obama in such a hurry to get his socialized medicine bill passed?
Because he and his cunning circle realize some basic truths:
The American people in their unimaginable kindness and trust voted for a pig in a poke in 2008. They wanted so much to believe Barack Obama was somehow better and different from other ultra-leftists that they simply took him on faith.
They ignored his anti-white writings in his books. They ignored his quiet acceptance of hysterical anti-American diatribes by his minister, Jeremiah Wright.
They ignored his refusal to explain years at a time of his life as a student. They ignored his ultra-left record as a “community organizer,” Illinois state legislator, and Senator.
The American people ignored his total zero of an academic record as a student and teacher, his complete lack of scholarship when he was being touted as a scholar.
Now, the American people are starting to wake up to the truth. Barack Obama is a super likeable super leftist, not a fan of this country, way, way too cozy with the terrorist leaders in the Middle East, way beyond naïveté, all the way into active destruction of our interests and our allies and our future.
The American people have already awakened to the truth that the stimulus bill — a great idea in theory — was really an immense bribe to Democrat interest groups, and in no way an effort to help all Americans.
Now, Americans are waking up to the truth that ObamaCare basically means that every time you are sick or injured, you will have a clerk from the Department of Motor Vehicles telling your doctor what he can and cannot do.
The American people already know that Mr. Obama’s plan to lower health costs while expanding coverage and bureaucracy is a myth, a promise of something that never was and never will be — a bureaucracy lowering costs in a free society. Either the costs go up or the free society goes away.
These are perilous times. Mrs. Hillary Clinton, our Secretary of State, has given Iran the go-ahead to have nuclear weapons, an unqualified betrayal of the nation. Now, we face a devastating loss of freedom at home in health care. It will be joined by controls on our lives to “protect us” from global warming, itself largely a fraud if believed to be caused by man.
Mr. Obama knows Americans are getting wise and will stop him if he delays at all in taking away our freedoms.
There is his urgency and our opportunity. Once freedom is lost, America is lost. Wake up, beloved America.

This seems incontravertible truth.
What is the next step to prosecute this?
If, as Wayne Allyn Root says, it will be easy to establish.
Obama and his friends must think we are dhumme dhimmis.
Wayne Allyn Root’s Wiki says:-
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayne_Allyn_Root#column-one
“Root graduated as Valedictorian from his high school, Thornton-Donovan School, then graduated from Columbia University in 1983 as a Political Science major (in the same class as President Barack Obama)[5]”
Barack Obama’s Wiki says:- [a little differently]
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Barack_Obama
“Following high school, Obama moved to Los Angeles in 1979 to attend Occidental College.[20] After two years he transferred in 1981 to Columbia University in New York City, where he majored in political science with a specialization in international relations[21] and graduated with a B.A. in 1983. He worked for a year at the Business International Corporation,[22][23] then at the New York Public Interest Research Group.[24][25]”
Wayne needs to correct his Wiki about Obama and the major subjects and that Obama got a B.A., in order for us to accept his story.
I hope he is correct.
