Rating: - Thanks: Proves That the Obamas Are Not One Of Us or Like Us
The author, a former Republican, has unwittingly proved that Barack and Michelle Obama are neither like us nor one of us. The author's intent was to write a guidebook for the Democratic Party, and, perhaps, garner from the Democratic nominee an appointment as Vice President or cabinet secretary. But the Obamas have rejected his advice. Instead, the unintended consequence of his book is to prove that Barack Obama is not qualified to be president.
Are you like Barack Obama? Were your parents unmarried? Was your father a Muslim from Africa and your mother a hippie from America? Did your father abandon you when you were two years old? Did you grow up in Hawaii and Indonesia? Did your mother abandon you and send you to live with your white grandparents in Hawaii? Did your grandparents use their savings to send you to the best prep school in your state? Did you use hard and soft drugs? Did an Ivy League college like Columbia admit you based on a racial quota? After graduation, did you become a "community organizer" on the south side of Chicago, and register only black voters? Did an Ivy League law school like Harvard admit you on the basis of a racial quota? As a lawyer, did your work on cases that benefited blacks only? With Ivy League undergraduate and law degrees, did you listen to and financially support for 20 years the anti-white philosophy, theology, and rhetoric of a racist black minister? Did you associate with an urban terrorist who had bombed the U.S. Capitol building and was still proud of it? Did you do business with and accept campaign contributions from a man who was commiting criminal acts in Chicago? Did you travel to the Islamic Republic of Pakistan with Muslim friends? As a U.S. Senator, did you earmark public money for your wife's private employer?
Are you like Michelle Obama? Did you grow up on the south side of Chicago?Did an Ivy League college like Princeton admit you on the basis of a racial quota?Did an Ivy League law school like Harvard admit you on the basis of a racial quota? Did predominately white law firms hire and promote you on the basis of race? Having received these educational and employment privileges, did you express your hatred, disdain, and anger at American culture and values?
The fact that Barack Obama is not one of us magnifies his lack of experience to be prsident and commander-in-chief. His only experiences is as a "community organizer" on Chicago's south side and as a part time law lecturer, He deserves little credit for his service in the Illinois legislature and the U.S. Senate because he usually voted "present", not yea or nay of pending bills. He has no executive training or experience. He promises "change", but he does not provide any specifics for the voters to decide whether the "change" is good or bad. Hitler brought "change" to Germany during the 1930s, but few would argue that that "change" was good for Germany.
Michelle is also a product of the south side, a hotbed of black racism and bigotry. Her character is tainted by an intense hatred of American values and culture. She has nothing in common with Jackie Kennedy, Nancy Reagan or Laura Bush. Democrates who are besotted by Barack should think twice about permitting a hate-filled woman like Michelle to occupy the White House for four years.
Applying the author's theories to the Obamas, Barack is not qualified to be president and commander-in-chief, and Michelle is not qualified to be First Lady. The reason, according to his theory, is that they are not one of us or like us. They don't share our values and goals. Barack's jive talk on public policy proves that he is out of touch with America and Americans.And anyone who listened to Michelle's speech at the 2008 Democratic National Convention heard her reaffirm her alien values. Even Democratic leader James Carville noted that the first night speakers did not communicate a single message to the voters. Their theme was the cult of personality surrounding Barack's candidacy. Carville should have realized that there is no message, only jive talk.I assume that that was a painful night for Senator Webb. But maybe he is a Trojan Horse in the Democratic Party. In any event, it is time to fight for America and against the Obama cult of personality.
Rating: - All Americans need to read this book
Being a former Marine also and the fact that my family roots started in Virginia.Sen. Web gives a stunning account of both his personal life and a look inside the halls of Congress.His book is on target as to where we as Americans are today.And what we as a nation need to do to bring our nation back together. I salute you LT. Semper Fi
Rating:  - terrible
This book was terrible. If i wanted to buy an autobiography about a marine I would have. What I thought I was purchasing was a book describing the troubles America is facing today and possible solutions to these problems. Instead, I got a book where Jim Webb talks about himself for 200 pages and all of his accomplishments. The remaining pages, all 50 of them, are dedicated to three or four issues which I would consider important, but not the most pressing. As for solutions, he offers none. This book was terrible. If you want a more interesting book with real problems and possible solutions, get any of Ron Paul's books, even if you don't agree with him at least he lays out what the real issues are how to fix them. I cannot stress enough how terrible this book was.
Rating: - Senator Jim Webb's plan to restore America's greatness
Senator Webb successfully makes the case for civic action to change American society from one in which there are only two classes: wealthy and poor; to one in which there is, again, a middle class that dominates and brings back ethics and hope for America to remain a nation of moral people that make achievement possible for everyone. He's hard on the GOP,the ruling party of the past ten years. He makes the case for replacing their values of greed and "trickle-down" economics with a much more socially responsible leadership.
