Obama: "I'm Unsuccessful. Vote for Me."

Conservative republicans have been categorizing Obama as the anti-success president. He doesn't like people who are successful. And that's what this campaign has turned into; a contest between a man who is indisputably successful vs. a man who really can only call his political career a "success", and only a marginal one at that.

Obama has never held a real job. As far as we know, he's never flipped burgers or pumped gas, let alone had a genuine career in the private sector. We know that as a child he was educated in Muslim schools in foreign countries, and even in his late teens was not expected to work as his community provided for him. We know that he didn't hold real jobs in college. He did, however, work as editor of the Harvard Law Review, despite never actually submitting any copy himself. We know that he got into schools he was unqualified for, but we don't know how. Since a bio of himself, written by himself and submitted to a publisher in the late 80's stated he was born in Kenya, it's entirely logical to assume that he applied to Occidental, Columbia and Harvard Law School as a foreign student.

NOTE: I am NOT saying I think Obama was born in Kenya, or anywhere other than Hawaii. I am saying, however, that in the past Obama has decided it suited his purpose better to claim that he was born in Kenya. This cannot be denied, not even by explaining the publisher's bio as a typo (they claim they meant to say he was "raised in Kenya") because OBAMA WROTE IT HIMSELF.

We also know that Obama was apparently a "senior lecturer" (his official title) at the University of Chicago, although he refers to himself frequently as a constitutional law "professor". The actual title of "professor" was never bestowed upon him, and Obama does not have a teaching degree. Also, apparently his course load was light, "lecturing" only three times a year from 1996 to 2004, when he was elected to the US Senate. Also during that time (starting in 1997), he served as an Illinois State Senator. Prior to that he held a nebulous "position" as a "community organizer". What exactly that means is unclear, as Obama himself won't really define it, but we know that mostly it involved political activism. So, in other words, most, if not all, of Obama's jobs before becoming a senator were political in nature, and most of them he most likely held because he sold himself as a foreigner, and was therefore afforded special privilege.

For that matter, Obama's entire adult life has been an exercise in mediocrity. Nothing he did, or is doing now, has ever really gotten anything done, except promoting Obama himself. Can anyone point to a lawyer who credits "Professor Obama" as an inspiration? Can anyone name anything he did while editor of the Harvard Law Review that was noteworthy? His record in the Illinois Senate and the US Senate is entirely unremarkable, with not a single accomplishment to his name. Eight years in Illinois and three years in the US Senate and not a single accomplishment? No signature legislation, no deciding votes, no leadership skills shown. He's never even held the type of office that requires him to interact with the American people on any kind of regular basis.

His record is thinner than a greeting card. Obama is a prime example of a man who, due to knowing the right people and presenting himself falsely, has been moved up in the world despite having absolutely no successes to claim. No wonder Obama seems to despise those who are successful due to the sweat of their own brow. No wonder he seems to think that business owners can't claim to have built their businesses. No wonder he thinks privatization is wrong and that the government should own everything. It is entirely reasonable, from his standpoint. He is the exact opposite of a self-made man, other than making up a false self (but even there, this was likely a product of the kind of thinking his communist buddies were up to).

Obama has never really worked, but has instead taken on job after job where he can promote himself and parrot leftist talking points. In his chosen fields he has no career highlights whatsoever. Every piece of legislation he has ever put his name on was drafted by someone else, and is just a new form of legislation that was introduced by someone else earlier. He can't even give a speech without a teleprompter. He is, more or less, a made-up human being who can only be described as "successful" due to coasting into the White House by use of the race card and other dishonest techniques. Success is antithetical to his vision, which only requires that the right people (himself and those who handle him) are in power and the rest will have his version of "success" (that is, government dole for everyone) handed out to them as he sees fit.

And no wonder that he can so easily demonize Mitt Romney for being successful. When I was a boy, a man like Mitt Romney running against a man like Barack Obama would have been no contest; the successful man can make America successful, and back then this was considered good.

Now Obama can basically build his campaign around the idea of "he's rich, so don't vote for him." Of course, Romney is rich because he built successful businesses, and so Obama has no recourse but to try and attack that.

We used to aspire to be like those successful people. But this is the age of Obama, where mediocrity is a worthwhile goal, and failure is proof of good leadership. All one has to do is look around America to see what Obama's idea of "success" is.
