How it was that Barack Obama came on-duty in January of 2009 and got away with doing absolutely nothing about all that for eight years remains one of the abiding mysteries of life on earth. Perhaps getting the first black president into the White House was such an intoxicating triumph of righteousness that nothing else seemed to matter anymore. Perhaps Mr. Obama was just a cat’s paw for banksterdom. (Sure kinda seems like it, when your first two hires are Robert Rubin and Larry Summers.) ...

But now we are a year into Attorney General Bill Barr coming on the scene — the crime scene of RussiaGate and all its deceitful spin-offs. The Mueller investigation revealed itself as not just a thumping failure, but part of a broader exercise in bad faith and sedition to first prevent Mr. Trump from winning the 2016 election and then to harass, obstruct, disable, and eject him from office. And six months after Mr. Mueller’s face-plant, out comes the Horowitz Report tracing in spectacular detail further and deeper criminal irregularities in the US Justice agencies. What’s more, tremendous amounts of evidence for all this already sits on-the-record in public documents. The timelines are well understood.

And so, an anxious nausea creeps over the land that Mr. Barr and Mr. Durham are dawdling toward a goal of deflecting justice from the sick institutions behind the three-year coup — that our polity is so saturated in corruption nothing will be allowed to clean it up. Personally, I don’t subscribe to that hopelessness, and I will say why. But I must also say that if Barr & Durham fail to deliver a bale of indictments, they will be putting a bullet in the head of this republic. There will be no hope of restoring trust in the system and the hopelessness will inspire serious civil violence.

Indeed Obama was “part of” a $65 mil book deal, together with his wife (the priciest book deal in history)— which incidentally was granted by the publisher of Common Core books. I’m sure there’s no conflict of interest between Obama’s windfall, and his admin mandating Pearson’s books for K-12.

There was once a standard that public servants avoid the hint of dual interests, and declare competing claims to the public. Obama’s conflict of interest with Pearson Publishing is one of the most egregious examples I’ve seen. It’s Banana Republic time.

marcus says
Obama has made more than 10 million from previous books he wrote. He actually wrote them himself too.

HaHaHaHaHaHa! Gasp, Splutter!

Obama only has a few identifiable screeds on law, and they are almost childish in their simplicity, certainly they never made the grade for any law school Law Review. There have been many commentators stating that Obama's token stint on the Harvard Law Review made no sense at all, and the stories concocted about it bear no resemblance to any process at any other law school. I remember when he ran for President, they called him "A Law School Professor". He was only a voluntary lecturer very part time, he had no scholarly appointments or experience. Those voluntary lecturer positions are a dime a dozen for lawyers who want some status by having a law school affiliation, however tenuous. Stuff that Obama wrote himself have been suppressed or re-written/edited because they contain grammatical errors and improper spellings and usages.

If he wrote shit for himself, it was publicity stunt lies about his origins in Africa. He did write some sincere things about his REAL father, the bisexual communist journalist and pornographer Frank Davis in Hawaii, but they were very strange, since his grandfather more or less repatriated them to spend time together. Where do you think Obama's 'Chicago Connection' comes from? The Chicago connections are from Frank Davis' radical communist origins in Chicago. One wonders from what he wrote about Frank Davis if Obama wasn't molested, which would make him a real head case.
