The President in His own Words

Excerpts from an article by Stanley Renshon in Commentary, July - August 2014, "In Search of Greatness, Obama's place in history

    "In 1958, a Gallup poll found that 73% off the public believed you could trust the federal government to do what's right "most" or "all of the time:, by 2006, that figure had fallen to 28%.... Obama contributed to still greater decline in the public's trust of Washington. Add to this a string of unresolved scandals including the IRS's political targeting and the broad and secret surveillance of private data, and it's no wonder that a 2013 Gallup poll shows that Americans who trusted the government to do what's right "most" or "all of the time" had fallen to 19 percent....

    "I want to transform this country." In his first inaugural address, he called on his fellow citizens to help "remake America"* - not change it, mind you, but remake it.

    Asked on Meet the Press about his wanting to be a great president, Obama replied, "When I think about great presidents, I think about those who transform how we think about ourselves as a country in fundamental ways so that, at the end of their tenure. we have looked and said to ours -that's who we are." He went on: "They transformed the culture and not simply promoted one or two particular issues." ...

    One of the presidents senior aides told a reporter for the Washington Post, "He's playing chess in a town full of checker players." Another, Valerie Jarrett, said, "He knows exactly how smart he is ... He knows how perceptive he id," and what's more. "I think that he has never been challenged intellectually." During Obama's first campaign some of his aides referred to him as the "Black Jesus." ...

His chief political adviser David Axelrod said of his working with Obama: "It's like you are carrying this priceless porcelain vase through a crowd of people and you don't want to be the guy who drops it and breaks it. Having advisers think of you in terms that parallel God's son or as a rate and priceless piece of porcelain has its problems, especially if you are charged with making momentous decisions...

Obama's ability to get honest advice has been made harder still by his own self-regard. It is not hyperbole to say that he considers himself his own best, most knowledgeable adviser.... Obama ... "foreign policy is the area I am probably most confident that I know more and understand the world better than Senator Clinton or Senator McCain."...

Asked after the presidential campaign about the best advice he had received while running, he replied, "Well, I have to say it was the advice that I gave myself." In July of 2007, he told a group of fundraisers, " I'm the best retail politician in America."...

In early 2007, when Obama interviewed his campaign's future political director, Patrick Gaspard, he told him, "I think that I am a better speechwriter than my speech writers. I know more about policies on any particular issue than my policy writers." ..."

Those of us who prayed and counseled at the abortion  sites for years have also an  insightful understanding of the mind of President Obama. He thinks  differently from any of our previous  presidents or American leaders. The secularists call him the first black president even though his Mom is white and his Dad was born in Africa. For a Black President to have a love affair with  Planned Parenthood is incomprehensible. He is deliberately blind to the reality of Black Racism which kills 1000 babies each day via abortion. That's 365,000 each year. Stop the Genocide! Sadly, President Obama doesn't seem to care. The authentic Black American neurosurgeon Ben Carson does not have the gall and self-deception to change the definition of life, marriage or family.
