The Obamanation of Desolation

Those who regularly read this space understand that I'm no fan of Barack Obama. Since I'm from his political home town of Chicago, I know a little bit more about him than most people do. For example, in the early 1990s, Obama worked for the Chicago law firm of Davis, Miner, Barnhill and Galland. In 1994, he was the lead defense attorney in a case where he defended a notorious slumlord named Bishop Arthur Brazier, a church minister who also headed the Woodlawn Preservation and Investment Corp.

Bishop Brazier's WPIC bought depressed rental properties on Chicago's South Side with the stated intention of rehabbing them to provide quality housing for low income families. Unfortunately, after Bishop Brazier purchased the decrepit properties, he often failed to make the necessary repairs to satisfy Chicago's building code requirements. As a result, during the brutally cold winter of 1994, with the temperature -11 on January 18, the heat went out in one of Brazier's apartment buildings. 

Residents were forced to seek emergency shelter while the City of Chicago subsequently inspected the building and labeled it a literal death trap with numerous code violations. The City of Chicago asked for a permanent court injunction against WPIC as well as the appointment of a receiver and the imposition of a lien on WPIC to pay for necessary building repairs, court costs and attorneys fees. http://washingtonexaminer.com/chapter-iv-for-the-slumlords-defense-barack-obama-esq./article/2508420

Nevertheless, Obama, who claims to be the champion of the poor and the middle class, defended Brazier against the numerous charges brought against him by the City of Chicago. In fact, Obama defended Brazier so well that WPIC escaped with a paltry $50 fine. That was not only an insult to those poor residents who were forced to flee their homes during a severe weather crisis, it was an insult to everyone who has a sense of dignity and justice. 

Obama would probably claim that he was merely doing a job that was assigned to him at that time. Perhaps. But anyone who truly cares about the rights of the poor and oppressed would've rejected such an assignment. Not Obama. He was more interested in doing what was best for him by ingratiating himself with Chicago's powerful social and political operatives than helping those in need. As Brazier lay dying in a Chicago hospital in 2010, Obama offered this bon mot about the notorious slumlord: "There is no way that we can replace the gentle heart and boundless determination that Bishop Brazier brought to some of the most pressing challenges facing Chicago and our nation."

As I've often stated, a nation's leaders are a direct reflection of the people they come from. Moral and upstanding leaders come from moral and upstanding people. Wicked and vile leaders are produced by wicked and vile people. It was Jesus Christ who stated the obvious: "Likewise, every good tree bears good fruit, but a bad tree bears bad fruit. A good tree cannot bear bad fruit, and a bad tree cannot bear good fruit. Every tree that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire. Thus, by their fruit you will recognize them." (Matthew 7:17-20)

When you vote on Tuesday, Nov. 6, I want you to think about the real Barack H. Obama as opposed to the airbrushed version we've been presented for the last four years by Hollywood leftists and America's mainstream Marxist media. The Hollywood version of Obama presents him as a god who descended from the heavens in 2008 to lower the earth's oceans and heal its lands. The real Barack Obama is a sociopathic liar who'll say anything to gain votes and influence. His lies concerning the recent Sept. 11 terrorist attack on the U.S. consulate in Benghazi, Libya that saw four Americans die needlessly because he failed to protect them in order not to offend the Muslim world are reprehensible and disgusting. 

The real Barack Obama is a political hack who doesn't understand the real world with real folks who are struggling financially under the weight of a bloated and behemoth government and its terrible policies. The real Barack Obama is nothing more than a political puppet of the far left; elected in 2008 by the political machine created by far left billionaire hedge fund manager George Soros who believes that it is his destiny to remake the world through political operatives such as Obama. 

On Tuesday, we'll find out whether Americans seek redemption from the mistake they made four years ago when they elected an unqualified man to be their president. Or, we'll find out whether Americans want four more years of pain, misery, dishonesty, corruption, international embarrassment, high unemployment, higher taxes, high gas prices, high energy prices, high inflation, a shrinking dollar and shrinking paychecks. America, it's your choice.
