#1 A lie is halfway round the world before the truth has got its boots on. With a complicit press, it may take years before the truth catches up with the lie.

#2 Whee! I used to enjoy analyzing poetry, especially the pseudo-intellectual stuff (all of poor, dear Khalil Gibran comes down to "love = love" if you work it hard enough), but this reading this essay is an absolute guilty pleasure. The man has chops and he knows how to use them. Eventually the New York Times and NPR will have to address this, when enough of their audience has been embarrassed at cocktail parties by not knowing what the token Republican is talking about.

#3 Key excerpts: in no previous American presidential election has the press so abysmally failed to meet its professional obligation. In no national election of memory was the vote so singularly based on such a dearth of data about the candidate who won...Cashill's demonstration that misrepresentations unexamined by the press lead to fraud-based outcomes is the most disturbing part of the story...When enabled by a complacent, cowardly, or complicit press, an audacious political hustler can disenfranchise the voters of an entire nation. The integrity of "by the people" is desecrated and voided no less by a candidate who succeeds in totally misrepresenting himself and his policies to voters than by the wholesale stuffing of ballot boxes...Somehow the damning facts exposed in Deconstructing Obama must saturate the electorate before the 2012 elections, yet somehow I believe these 'damning facts' will get little or no attention. Besides a lying press, we seem to have a mentally deficient electorate.

#4 One of the comments to the original article: Frankly, my dear sir, no one gives a damn. America will re-elect Obama and then exist no more. America as America has a death wish, and Obama is fulfilling it.

#5 An obama-clinton ticket will likely give him another four years. Not something I am looking forward to, but the usual numbers are certainly there.

#6 It was the careful exploration of Dreams -- especially the facts and timeline pertaining to his paternity -- that eventually led the sleuth to doubt that Barack Obama, Sr., the Kenyan graduate student after whom Ann Dunham's son was named, could be his father.

I've been saying this for ages.

#7 Kinda old news, people have been pointing out that it was obvious that Barry didn't write his two books, and it's been widely discussed how odd it is he doesn't willingly talk of his college days, ever. Also the fact that his mother was a tramp, weirdo, isn't fresh news, I've seen the pictures, ugh. I could go on, but there's no point, we needed all this out in the open in 2007, not now. Not that it would matter, if the MSM can convince the wishywashy that the economy is starting to rebound, Barry will most likely get re-elected.

#8 Zero re-elected? Who's complacent? I've just sent a punchy summary to my e-mail list, and maybe I'll help make the book a best seller - even if I know what it concludes.

After all, Apollo 13 was a thrilling movie, even though we all knew how it was going to end!

#9 Amazon, $14.20, new. Invest in 2012! Buy one now!

#10 Bobby, I'm with you but to stop him (and his $1B warchest) we need, like, a candidate to run against him. And we don't have that much longer to find one.

#11 Of all the Pubs out there who are sniffing around, Romney is the only one who can raise that kind of money.

Personally I like Romney/Palin just to watch progressive heads explode, but I'm not sure it's the best ticket.

Whoever the Pubs get they'd better be able to raise big, big money.

The good news in all of this: public financing of political campaigns is dead, dead, dead.

#12 The election is Obumble's to lose. The trunks will not win the race, the donk will lose it. If Obunko gets a primary challenge from the left, he's toast. If not, he repeats no matter whom the trunks nominate.

#13 Buy ten of the books. Give them to your friends for Christmas or Chaunaka (sorry) or Winter Solstice!

Buy twenty, and give them to your enemies!

But don't wait until November; it needs to be a # 1 bestseller this spring.

#14 #12 NS, you may well prove to be right, but I'm afraid this is one of those "failure is not an option" moments.

#15 The 4th estate did not care that Barry was a fraud. They eagerly foisted a fraud on the American voters whom they sensed would elect BO. The main stream press harpies were Barry's cheerleaders. They couldn't be bothered with the truth. When history is written, it will be said that there was little difference between the MSM and BHO--both are frauds.
