For the ill-informed on this site:
‘The Illustrated Man’
Obama’s enemies have painted him as an alien threat. Can he fight the flight from facts?
http://www.newsweek.com/2010/08/…"Our maddening times demand that the truth be forthrightly stated at the outset, and not just that the president has nothing in common with the führer beyond the possession of a dog. The outlandish stories about Barack Hussein Obama are simply false:
- he wasn’t born outside the United States (the tabloid “proof” has been debunked as a crude forgery)
- he has never been a Muslim (he was raised by an atheist and became a practicing Christian in his 20s)
- his policies are not “socialist” (he explicitly rejected advice to nationalize the banks and wants the government out of General Motors and Chrysler as quickly as possible);
- he is not a “warmonger” (he promised in 2008 to withdraw from Iraq and escalate in Afghanistan and has done so);
- he is neither a coddler of terrorists (he has already ordered the killing of more “high value” Qaeda targets in 18 months than his predecessor did in eight years)
- nor a coddler of Wall Street (his financial-reform package, while watered down, was the most vigorous since the New Deal)
- nor an enemy of American business (he and the Chamber of Commerce favor tax credits for small business that were stymied by the GOP to deprive him of a victory).And that’s just the short list of lies."
