Barack Obama's Achilles Heel

by JASmius



"America's mayor" found it, ladies and gentlemen.  How?  It was hiding in plain sight.  It's been there all along, for eight years now, counting the 2008 campaign.  It's just that nobody on the Right has had the courage, the testicular fortitude, the balls, to hit it with both barrels and both feet and all fists-a-fury.

What is this gaping vulnerability?  Simple, folks: Barack Obama's ego.

Yes, it's that easy.  Don't fear him.  Don't pamper him.  Don't bow to him, don't genuflect to him, don't defer to him.  Challenge him.  Criticize him.  Call a, well, "spade" a spade.  Treat him like all forty-three of his predecessors: as an American president.

There have been so many unprecedented aspects to the Affirmative Action presidency (none of them positive), but the one that is most galling - largely because so few of us, myself included, have really commented on it - is how completely and devastatingly effective the "RAAAAAAACIST!!!!!" defense has been in totally insulating The One from the ordinary rough & tumble aspects of contemporary American politics.  Particularly GOP politicians.  For almost a decade they've tip-toed through the eggshell fields on tiny rabbit feet, petrified of getting smacked upside the head with the R-word, all the while getting lampooned and bitch-slapped and swirlied by his majesty on a daily basis.  In 2012, Mitt Romney was smeared as a dork, the Monopoly Man, a plutocratic Clark Griswald, a misogynist by the White House while himself creeping along, fearfully looking over his shoulder, "Mr. Presidenting" here and "the presidenting" there and never going near O's Islamocommunist background or even returning snark ("The 1980s just called, and they want their foreign policy back") for snark.  And the Mittster tip-toed straight to an underachieving defeat.

To quote Captain Benjamin Sisko, "There's an old saying.....


....'Fortune favors the bold.'  Well, we're about to find out."

Last week Rudy Giuliani became the Republican Benjamin Sisko.  And you know what?  He's still here.  Despite the "heavy fire," despite the, yes, death threats.  He was, after eight long years of right-wing toadying, the canary in the coal mine.

And he's still chirping:


Rudy Giuliani, saying his accusations that President Barack Obama doesn't love America "hit a nerve," continued hammering the president's foreign policy agenda Sunday and calling for a leader who gives the country optimism....

"I said it maybe thirty times before but somehow this time it hit a nerve, maybe because the president is on such defense for his unwillingness to face Islamic terrorism," Giuliani told [John] Catsimatidis. "We need a American president more like Ronald Reagan who gave us a sense of optimism."

Giuliani has been under fire since Wednesday, when he attended a private dinner sponsored by Catsimatidis for Republican Wisconsin Governor Scott Walker, a potential 2016 GOP presidential candidate.

At the dinner, Giuliani commented that the president "doesn't love you. He doesn't love me. He wasn't brought up the way you were brought up and I was brought up: to love this country."

By Friday, as the outcry arose about Giuliani's comment, including [<sigh>] claims by some that it was racially motivated, he told reporters that Obama was brought up in a white family, but with communist and socialist values, and by Saturday, he told CNN that his secretary had fielded some death threats over his comments.

On Sunday's show, though, the former mayor showed no signs of backing down, making further attacks on Obama by claiming that he "turned on Israel," has refused to back the country's Middle East allies against Iran, and further has ruined relations with Russian President Vladimir Putin.

Folks, don't you think that if Rudy Giuliani wanted to call Red Barry the N-word, he'd have done it a long time ago?  No, my friends, he's not a racist, he's engaging in precisely what every previous president has had to defend against: criticism.  Policy attacks.  And a POTUS's personal and professional background is part of that, and eminently fair game.  Call it retroactive vetting of the sort that, had it been done in the 2008 campaign, might have given us the kind of "optimistic" Chief Executive of which America's mayor speaks in the first place, and not the Ameriphobic jihadi-symp in whose dictatorial iron grip we all still languish to this day.

This is not to say that Giuliani couldn't still "disappear," or have (planted) "dirt" suddenly erupt in and about him.  Either or both of these possibilities are, realistically, probabilities.  Look what happened to Dinesh D'Souza after his retroactive vetting.  But that should be a rallying cry for all Republicans, all conservatives, all Tea Partiers to follow Rudy's example.  After all, arresting all of us for the same "crime" would be even more conspicuous than Barack Obama's Islamophilia, it seems to me.  And at the very least, it would inescapably, blindingly expose him for exactly who and what he is, once and for all - exactly as the Gothamite said.

It's the only way to beat him.  And the only way to (if it still can be) save America.


UPDATE: The African-American Spring pushes another budding green shoot through the gray Obamunist asphalt:

“Here’s the truth of the matter: I don’t want to be politically correct. I don’t care about being politically correct at this point.

“President Obama, You don’t love America. If you really did love America, you would call ISIS what it really is: an assault on Christianity, an assault on America and downright hate for the American values that our country holds. Freedom of speech, freedom of religion and every single thing that our country stands for.”

“I hope that one day people will get enough guts to speak out against your downright hatred for this nation.”

“When they kill innocent Americans that have done no wrong except report on what is their constitutional right as journalists and you do nothing about it, you don’t care about their lives. You could care less!

“But here’s what you need to realize: here in America, we don’t back down to terrorists. We fight them on their own battleground and we annihilate them till the very end. “Here in America, we don’t allow the government to take away what we work for but we continue to work harder so that we may continue to succeed.”



The very existence of a C.J. Pearson - and the fact that he's not alone in "black America" - is what should make the blood of not just Barack Hussein Obama, but every Democrat, every leftwingnut, run colder than the snows on Europa.  Because if this young man is the future, they are doomed.
