"Lol and he just bought a $15M beachfront mansion... seems Obama doesn't believe in oceans rising." Comment to the video below.
" 'We are five days away from fundamentally transforming the United States of America," Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama promised on the campaign trail in 2008. Up until that moment, Obama had carefully couched his red diaper radicalism in the language of moderation, of healing, of "one America."
"It's impossible to say for sure whether Obama accidentally let slip the real foundation of his candidacy or if he was feeling so cocky that close to election day that he felt he could get away with anything. But I've always felt it was the latter.
"Trump was obviously kidding when he claimed in 2016 that he could "shoot somebody and... wouldn’t lose voters." Obama wasn't at all kidding about wanting to fundamentally transform America.
"Conservatives and (most) Republicans shouted, "DANGER, Will Robinson, DANGER!" when Obama finally said it out loud. Even the press (belatedly and in only one small instance) kinda-sorta noticed. Here's a transcript culled from a conversation PBS host Charlie Rose had with NBC anchor Tom Brokaw one day after Obama's "fundamental transformation" line:
- ROSE: I don't know what Barack Obama's worldview is.
- BROKAW: No, I don't, either.
- ROSE: I don't know how he really sees where China is.
- BROKAW: We don't know a lot about Barack Obama and the universe of his thinking about foreign policy.
- ROSE: I don't really know. And do we know anything about the people who are advising him?
- BROKAW: Yeah, it's an interesting question.
- ROSE: He is principally known through his autobiography and through very aspirational speeches.
- BROKAW: Two of them! I don't know what books he's read.
- ROSE: What do we know about the heroes of Barack Obama?
- BROKAW: There's a lot about him we don't know.
"That was as close as the press ever got to doing due diligence on the most radical man ever to win the White House. Not just too little but also too late — Obama's election had been a 99% certainty for weeks." . . .
