>> More Hype for the Obama Illusion
Wow the hype for this guy will not end Mr Remnick gives us blah blah about his tragic father plenty of blah blah about Chicago politics blah blah about the conflicting agendas of African American leaders over 600 more pages of BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH This is not what America needs America needs the truth Obama is not getting to it at all when it comes to the 9/11 LIE and the continuing wars Which he campaigned on stopping and is not Do you not believe this yet my Obama loving friends Google this please 9/11 Blueprint For Truth presented by Architect Richard Gage AIA Watch his presentation on the obvious Demolitions of the 3 buildings on 9/11 Please do this You should realize that Obama is continuing the horrible Lie about 9/11 I know people like Glen Beck O liely Slant head Hannity Dingbat Palin ETC are absolutely nuts This 9/11 Lie needs to stop To me the fact that 9/11 was an inside job is as obvious as the fact that Chris Matthews has no guts So please wake up a little my friends who would waste your precious time reading 600 more pages of fluff Watch the video I suggest and you will realize that we should not worship this president we should question and press him to actually try to get us the truth about 9/11 We must not be sheep Come on Wakey Wakey
>> Obama so far interesting indeed but this story is yet unfinished
Remnick s book is hardly the rushed to publication type of book we expect with individuals suddenly and unexpectedly elevated to prominence Indeed The Bridge is hardly a hagiography but instead is a warts and all portrayal of Obama his parent s lives his own life s story and his rise to prominence If anything The Bridge is perhaps the best chronicle of the lives of both Obama s parents and the glimpses inside both their lives are utterly fascinating especially considering the era in which they lived What is truly astonishing is that considering how rootless and torn that Barack would have been as a child that he turned out to accomplish as much as he has in such a short period of time Remnick also doesn t shy away from issues of race class ethnicity and privilege in discussing Obama s upbringing and rise to power Remnick s explanation of the complexities of Chicago s black power elite and the various cliques within it are easy to grasp and help explain the difficulties Obama ran into while trying to raise his profile and the clashes he created and ran into But in the end you are reading the story of someone whose life is yet unfinished who has yet to complete all that he intends to do
While reading The Bridge I found myself thinking of other presidential firsts like the first Catholic President Kennedy the First Divorced President President Reagan and the myriad other firsts among the presidents We all remember them for other reasons because they all transcended whatever the first was that allegedly made them so different It s too early to know that for Obama just as it was at this same time for Kennedy or Reagan While The Bridge is interesting to read it still reads as a life unfinished and unfulfilled an unfinished symphony or sonata Yes its nice to know where Obama came from and it certainly helps shape his vision of who he is and where he s going but that s hardly the whole story The story is unfinished and constantly unfolding While The Bridge is interesting to read I m more interested in how things are playing out in real time
