Irony – They Name is Barack Obama….
Posted by Duncan on November 9th, 2008
Apparently Fox did some research, by reading Barack’s second book, Audacity of Hope, and found where he talked about his first meeting with President Bush when he was first elected to the senate… less than 4 years ago….
Here is an excerpt from Fox News that I found especially delicious:
Despite this display of bonhomie, Obama said the president’s demeanor turned downright frightening when he laid out his agenda to the freshly minted lawmakers.
“Suddenly it felt as if somebody in a back room had flipped a switch,” Obama wrote. “The president’s eyes became fixed; his voice took on the agitated, rapid tone of someone neither accustomed to nor welcoming interruption; his easy affability was replaced by an almost messianic certainty. As I watched my mostly Republican Senate colleagues hang on his every word, I was reminded of the dangerous isolation that power can bring, and appreciated the Founders’ wisdom in designating a system to keep power in check.“
Perhaps not only irony is present here, but some jealousy at the same time eh? Either way, I also found it quite interesting that Barack came out and said how wise our Founders were by creating a system of checks and balances, and now one party controls two branches of government that can simply rubber-stamp each other. Oh, and thanks goes to Fox for reading Barack’s second autobiography of his long 47 year old life. So we should expect ATLEAST two more autobiographies before he dies based on the average autobiography-to-age ratio….

Helen Keller wrote her autobiography when she was 21. But I think that her story was a bit more remarkable than Obama’s.

Two books of fantasy by a man without one accomplishment that benefitted anyone other than self. Yep, he’s quite a piece of sh, er, work.
