During a press conference last month with German leader Angela Merkel in Berlin, President Barack Obama provided us with a “Jesse Jackson moment.”
For those who have forgotten, in 1998, as the Monica Lewinsky sex scandal reared its ugly head, Reverend Jesse Jackson offered President Bill Clinton his services as a spiritual advisor.
It would turn out the offer represented the height of hypocrisy by the right good—and married—reverend. It was later learned, Jackson provided his services while quietly living under the cloud of having fathered an illegitimate child months earlier. Apparently the lure of moving forward into the spotlight proved stronger for Jackson than the pull of a guilty conscience restraining him.
Keeping this Jackson “moment” in mind, Obama exhibited his own hypocritical chutzpah. While his did not involve a sex scandal, U.S. national security would have fared better if it had.
During his November press conference with Merkel, Obama lamented the age of fake news stories was upon us. He observed: “…In an age where there is so much active misinformation and it’s packaged very well…If we are not serious about facts and what’s true and what’s not…we can’t discriminate between serious arguments and propaganda, then we have problems. If everything seems to be the same, no distinctions are made, then we won’t know what to protect. We won’t know what to fight for. We can lose so much of what we’ve gained…”
And now, as the late radio personality Paul Harvey would say, for “the rest of the story…”
A bit more of the deadly iceberg known as Hussein Obama is being slowly melted away and revealed. More to follow!

That’s what concerns me, just how deep and how dangerous is the iceberg below the surface? Will we know as a nation when we hit it or it hits us.
Obama has proven to be the most dangerous adversary this nation has faced from within.
cato – aka, how deep does the rabbit hole go? I suspect we’ll find out as the months progress into the Trump administration.
Hitler had his Reich Ministry of Public Enlightenment and Propaganda. Lenin, Trotsky and Stalin were masters in the art.
Ben Rhodes the fiction wirter, Jonaton Gruber, the MIT professor who laughs about the bill of goods he conjured up and sold about Obamacare, Candidate Obama selling $2,500 per family savings and keeping your doctor. We’ve been fed lies and almost nothing but lies, for the last eight years. Time for some chickens to roost.
