Ben Stein has him figured out!  We've Figured Him Out Why is President Barack Obama in such a hurry to get his socialized  medicine bill passed? Because he and his cunning circle realize some basic  truths:  The American people in their unimaginable kindness and trust voted  for a pig in a poke in 2008. They wanted so much to believe  Barack Obama was somehow better and different from other  ultra-leftists that they simply took him on faith. They ignored his  anti-white writings in his books. They ignored his quiet acceptance of  hysterical anti-American diatribes by his minister, Jeremiah Wright.  They ignored his refusal to explain years at a time of his life as a  student. They ignored his ultra-left record as a "community  organizer," Illinois state legislator, and Senator.  The American people ignored his total zero of an academic record as  a student and teacher, his complete lack of scholarship when he  was being touted as a scholar.  Now, the American people are starting to wake up To the truth. Barack  Obama is a super likable super leftist, not a fan of this  country, way, way too cozy with the terrorist leaders in the  Middle East, way beyond naivety, all the way into active  destruction of our interests and our allies and our future.  The American people have already awakened to the truth that the  stimulus bill -- a great idea in theory -- was really an immense  bribe to Democrat interest groups, and in no way an effort to help  all Americans. Now, Americans are waking up to the truth that  ObamaCare basically means that every time you are sick or injured,  you will have a clerk from the Department of Motor Vehicles  telling your doctor what he can and cannot do.  The American people already know that Mr. Obama's plan  to lower health costs while expanding coverage and bureaucracy is a  myth, a promise of something that never was and never will be --  a bureaucracy lowering costs in a free society. Either the  costs go up or the free society goes away. ======================================= Date: Thursday, July 30, 2009, 10:10 PM > I Only hope we find GOD again before it is too late!! > The following was written by Ben Stein and recited by him on > CBS Sunday Morning Commentary. > > My confession: > > I am a Jew, and every single one of my ancestors was Jewish. And it does not bother me even a little bit when people call those beautiful lit up, bejeweled trees, Christmas trees. I don't feel threatened.

I don't think they are slighting me or getting ready to put me in a ghetto. In fact, I kind of like it.  It shows that we are all brothers and sisters celebrating this happy time of year. It doesn't bother me at all that there is a manger scene on display at a key intersection near my beach house in Malibu . If people want a creche, it's just as fine with me as is the Menorah a few hundred yards away. > >  I don't like getting pushed around for being a Jew, and I don't think > Christians like getting pushed around for being Christians.  I think people who believe in God are sick and tired of getting pushed around, period.

I guess that's a sign that I'm getting old, too. But there are a lot of us who are wondering where these celebrities came from and where the America we knew went to. > > In light of the many jokes we send to one another for a laugh, this is > a little different: This is not intended to be a joke; it's not > funny, it's intended to get you thinking. > > Billy Graham's daughter was interviewed on the Early Show and Jane Clayson asked her 'How could God let something like this happen?' > (regarding Hurricane Katrina).

And we said okay. > > Now we're asking ourselves why our children have no conscience, why they don't know right from wrong, and why it doesn't bother them to kill strangers, their classmates, and themselves.  Probably, if we think about it long and hard enough, we can figure it out.

Mrs. Hillary Clinton, our Secretary of State,  has given Iran the go-ahead to have nuclear weapons, an unqualified  betrayal of the nation. Now, we face a devastating loss of freedom  at home in health care. It will be joined by controls on our lives  to "protect us" from global warming, itself largely a fraud if  believed to be caused by man.  Mr. Obama knows Americans are getting wise and will stop him if he  delays at all in taking away our freedoms. There is his urgency and our  opportunity. Once freedom is lost, America is lost. Wake up, beloved America!  Ben Stein is a writer, actor, economist, and lawyer living in Beverly  Hills and Malibu . He writes "Ben Stein's Diary" for every issue  of The American Spectator.
