Resist the temptation of easy satire. ... Good satire has to be a little muted. Should spill out from under a seemingly somber situation.
In unrelated news, the President held six fundraisers today as the new jobs report showed the unemployment rate rising to 8.2% and job creation figures for the last two months revised downwards from disappointing to horrible.
For me it boils down to this. I don't recognize Obama's life. It was/is nothing like my life or the lives of my family and friends. I can find something to recognize in every other president except maybe Clinton. He's very"other" to me. His campaign's effort to make Romney the "other" really fail. It makes me question how much he knows about how mainstream Americans view things. There are so many given "truths" about America that he seemed to miss. I don't think he loves America or respects its laws, or outlooks or traditions. And, I don't think he wants to.
There's nothing too ghastly or scandalous here. If you were in his camp before, this will not leave you disillusioned. For all the various cross currents that went on in his life, he does seem remarkably sane.....Nonetheless, I can't help but think that there might be other shoes to drop. Last election, the Times ran a story that Obama's own depiction of his drug usage was exaggerated. Maybe not. The past example of JFK and, more recently, John Edwards makes me wonder if Obama's poise is more a pose than an act of balance.
It is not so much the raw content. It is what media did to it? How they hid it? How the opponents were stopped from exploiting (yes, because that is the name of the game) it? So he was practically allowed to play dirty against his opponents but they couldn't touch him. Let us see if that changes this election.
I used to write all-nighter papers that got an A+. It's either good or it's not. You're either on fire or you're not. Time can't make bad ideas good. On the other hand, I remember one class where we had a take home final where we were allowed to work in groups if we wanted. So our group of three turned in *the same answer* for one of the questions. We all got different grades. Guess who got the highest of our group (white female, black female, white male)? The affirmative action student who came out against affirmative action after "studying the evidence". Hah. and how many ironies can dance on the head of a pin.
It was/is nothing like my life or the lives of my family and friends.
Obnoxious guy hitting on girls? Gosh, that sounds familiar. Who do I know that did that?
This book is really going to be the final nail, as it were.
It makes him seem stupid, likable, funny and human. Won't hurt him at all.
His socialism, his racialism, his anti-Zionism, and his dog-eating will hurt him a lot more. That should be Romney's response in any debate: "At least I didn't eat a dog."
Urkel trying to apply his marxist tripe on a friends crush only points out what we already know in that if you want or desire something, Urkel will be there to try and take it away from you in the name of redistribution from you to him.

This book was written four years too late.
Class act.

"he was 'one of few players on the team' who couldn't jump high enough to dunk. "
Told you he was the whitest white guy on the planet.
"A while later Barry 'wandered off to the library' and pulled an all-nighter writing a paper that eventually got an A+."
Gee, that happens to everybody doesn't it.
PS Can't wait when the nude photos of his mother show up.
But even the president of the United States sometimes must have to stand naked...
A writing tip:

This is all only relevant to Obama's daughters, who will bring it up someday after getting caught doing something they're not supposed to.
drugs and nudity..
Details like this would have sunk a candidate's campaign but not only was he spared by the absence of vetting, he went on to win. Fuck the media.
Folks ... Barry is a sleaze, Get over it.
She appeared "sympathetic to the theoretical argument but not ready to put it into practice."
So he and I have this much in common anyway.
I hope we give a pass to college boys who are morons.
Really!
At least it was a girl he was trying to seduce.
Obama has nakedly cannibalized the US economy.
The "stoned" part isn't so ignorable, though.

Lem,
you went where I hesitated.
So he's always been a huckster. Who will take her clothes off for him in 2012?
Big disappointment there. The ending needs to be stripped out.

Pretty naive to think it was the girl Obama was trying to impress.
Intercepted!

Fellow conservatives, the media is forever victimizing us. No wonder we can't accomplish anything.
Wasted and talking trash to women when in college. Let any man w/o sin cast the first stone. This is interesting but nothing more than that.
She was white.
Black men do this stuff all the time to white women. White women are like catnip to black men. They'll do anything to get some of that white poontang.
It's not cool to try to seduce your friend's crush right in front of your friend.
President Choomgang McCockblocker
He even fucked-up being the wing man.
You don't want to share a fox hole with that fool.

He was humiliating his "friend."
Obama is - and always has been - a total fucking loser.
