How Did an Obscure Guy Who Did Diddly Squat in the Senate Become President?


Karl Rove and Juan Williams had quite a lively debate Friday evening about politics, the economy, and who can beat Barack Obama in 2012.

With Williams acting as substitute host on “The O’Reilly Factor,” guest Rove asked the question that has been plaguing conservatives for approaching three years – “How can an obscure United States senator from Illinois who had done diddly squat in the senate become the nominee of the Democratic Party and the President of the United States?”

JUAN WILLIAMS, SUBSTITUTE HOST: The question I had for you that I want to get back to is, beat Obamawith, what?

Here is a full screen. And it’s going to show you Obama matched up against Romney, against Pawlenty, against all of them, even generic Republican. Not one of them beat President Obama.

KARL ROVE: He is — he is the incumbent president of the United States. And he’s 45 percent against a generic Republican in one poll, against Pawlenty who nobody in America knows who was only five percent of in the Republican primary he gets to 50 percent, against Romney, again — this is one poll where’s it’s 49 percent — 43 percent. But there are other polls where it’s flipped; it’s 48 percent, 46 percent Romney.

    I saw the interview with Juan Williams. He is the complete opposite of O'Reilly. I mean 180degrees. He is so pro Obama it is pathetic. I am not sure that he is pro Obama because Williams is black just like Obama. When Fox has on a Republican and a Democrat on a discussion of opposing view points, there is no question in my mind who the Democrat is=Juan Williams………..
    So let this be a warning Repubs, don't let this deter you. OBAMA is in trouble, and especially if he ignores the quest for a balanced budget, and lowering his 2012 budget.

    "How Did an Obscure Guy Who Did Diddly Squat in the Senate Become President?"…Good question! Why was it not asked 2 1/2 years ago?

    He was on the committee for the Law of the Sea treaty, which gives the UN control over all the land that has tributaries that flow into the ocean. The EPA and Army Corps of Engineers have publishes in the Federal Register the
    Guidance Regarding Identification of Waters Protected by the Clean
    Water Act.

    The EPA and Corps of Engineers are moving to seize control of all
    U.S. waters. Since he who controls the water controls the land, these
    new slight-of-hand regulations would largely give the EPA and Corps
    substantial controls over all private and Federal land as well as
    nearly all waters. They will lead to many arbitrary and capricious
    decisions.

    The Guidance policy will, when final, give EPA broader authority to
    regulate bodies of water that had been the responsibility of state
    level water managers.

    The EPA’s push for greater reach through the Clean Water Act (CWA)
    jurisdiction amounts to the Agency overturning two U.S. Supreme Court
    decisions at the same time the Agency is disregarding concerns of
    Members of Congress.

    By publishing a draft Guidance document in the Federal Register
    the EPA and Corps are giving field staff freedom to choose and
    determine jurisdictional control. The result will be more arbitrary
    and capricious decisions.

    EPA and the Corps have effectively overturned two U. S. Supreme Court
    decisions that currently limit their authority and jurisdiction under
    the Clean Water Act to “Navigable Waters.”

    The Guidance would give EPA and Corps a large degree of control over
    all waters of the United States and this is right in line with the Law of the Sea Treaty… giving our sovereignty over to the UN

    ANSWER: By getting to know all the America's biggest powerful haters, who are bent on destroying this country. They found obama, who was only too willing to carry out their orders and wishes (saudi arabia, communists like bill ayers and others, soros, and the now democrats in office who have been the corrupt power grabbers in congress and the Senate: reid, pelossi, shummer, and others, too many to enumerate here. obama, the trojan horse.

  • Bob Marshall

    George Soros! .The gobal elite had picked Hllary Clinton because of her vast experience. When they saw George Soros was behind Obama they knew they would still win with Hillary in his cabinet and since they later called Obama to a Bilderberg meeting where they decided he was a good soilder as one member put it their goals would be accomplished. So far, he hasn't let them down. Neither has Hillary. The golab elite wanted a socialist democratic government and now we have a socialist president.

    • Emmjaa

      Bob Marshall……..You are so right! BO and Hill disappeared to attend said meeting. When they reappeared they were singing from a new song book, 'And the rest is history.' Between BO and Hill, George's agenda is right on schedule. It is pretty obvious Soros sees the UN as the primary power machine. If I were taking bets, I'd say BO wants to be the top dog at the UN. As of late I get a sense that George wants to appear like he is sitting the 2012 electioin out, but in reality he has been hard at work stacking the deck. Now he heads up 'Media Matters' and numerous other major media outlets. Now he can sit back and watch the liberal media do it work seranading the gullible Amercan public with his 'death song.' Before you know it, THEY will select the GOP candidate they want to run against.

    People voted saying, "I am making history by electing America's 1st black president" and never gave thought to any issues–his whole campaign was "Change" and yet there was no mention of what those changes would be other than the legalization of abortion which was the very 1st thing signed into law—murder of Americans. He is socializing America–even his wife wants to tell us what to eat and when to eat it. He wants to give us financially and economically (as well as our soldiers) over to UN control, give up gun rights (i.e. the 2nd amendment), make Christians illegal and illegals legal, spent more money than all presidents put together, regulate business so much that few can afford to provide jobs, and made the economy a disaster with Obama care being rammed down America's throat along with telling us what energy to use, what kind of car to buy, etc. Doesn't anybody see the oncoming train?

    stupid people !

    May the conservative ascendancy continue with the support and involvement of patriots such as write on this blog. It is good to be concerned and disgusted with the present POTUS. It is good to recognize his many lies, deceptions, violations of the U.S. Constitution, and his failure to lead us out this economic morass. It is good to see that he spent more government (our) money to get us out of this morass, to no avail. But with all that good, it is not good enough. We must be active, recruit neighbors, wake up the few that are still sleeping, sound the alarm, actively support opposition candidates who have core Christian conservative values, and vote! There has been a downpayment on what I hope and believe will happen next election cycle. Republicans retook the House with a great majority. They are just a few votes from taking the Senate. If we will all get active, even in our senior years, we can make a difference! Rise up conservatives, rise up!

    obama ran his campaign on platitudes. He was never a serious candidate just a flashy one. obama was the darling of the hollywood idiots and shallow people who think "change," is a presidential policy. Out schools have been taken over by socialist leaning teachers and the union thugs. The stupid people voted for "change," as long as they got their stimulus money. I guess that turn out to be peanuts for the monkeys! And the First Usurper was elected!

  • MarieW

    ANYONE who wants our vote should be willing to provide any papers that we request , from their past. We should____ask for those now, so that we can make an educated decision. We should know everything possible about the candidates.____We need to read the papers from college, what their views were and are, why they changed their minds etc.etc. etc.

    We should never again have a president we know nothing about, AND our leaders should NEVER again pass a bill they have not researched thoroughly.

    Hi folks
    I agree with all of you that see this fraud for what he is. What bothers me the most is the aliases and as many as 26 social security numbers attached to his name and or names. We know nothing about this person. There are a few known facts thanks to the freedom of information act. For instance he visited Pakistan in 81 or 82. For what reason? Why doesn't he use his adopted name. That is his legal name one would think. Which is Soretoro (maybe spelled wrong). The long form copy he released was deemed a fake and not a very good one. Then there are his many questionable friends, Rev. Wright, Louis Farrakan, Bill Ayers, Jim Jones not Van, this Jones is a parolee that wrote the cash for clunkers stimulus either from prison or shortly after he was released. Then there is Tony Resco (again probably spelled wrong) he was indicted on real estate fraud and the Obamas purchased a home with or from him in Hyde Park. He launched his political career in William Ayers living room. For those of you too young to remember he was the leader of the Weather Underground, formerly the Weathermen. They blew up government and federal buildings in the 70s and was on the FBIs ten most wanted list along with his girlfriend. They never did any time because his daddy was a rich attorney.
    America is in deep poop. I don't know how long it will take to undue all the harm him and his administration has done. I pray to God that enough people have woken up. I am very scared of the lengths he will go to to get re-elected. Voter fraud, giving voting rights to convicted felons, amnesty, etc. We all have to keep contacting our representatives. I fax and call mine all the time. Congressman Wolf has even called me to participate in his tele-town hall meetings. This is the first time in my life I have been politically active.
    So lets all pray, vote, stand together, and buy more guns and ammo.
    God bless you all and God bless America.

    The liberals got smart. They finally realize if they could get a real DOOFUS in office they could accomplish much more than they ever dreamed.

    May I introduce you to the DOOFUS Barack Insane Obumya!!!

    AND this doofus does not know he is the patsy, that’s why he’s the doofus.

  • Emmjaa

    "Who is he?" Never has so little been known about a leader of a powerful people. Never has so much money and drama gont to keeping a man's past from view. If only the Amercian people weren't being played like a violin, this would be the best scam of all time, and i would be dying to get the next issue to find out who paid who how much to keep quiet, take a back seat, to step up to the plate and on and on. I just hope we know the truth soon. I was hoping states would have the cahones to require proof of eligiblity to appear on the ballot.

    I was thinking he was bought and paid for by Muslims – to do his jihad on America.
    But, a lot of other ideas here. At any rate, we just gotta get rid of him in 2012. Else, America
    is lost.
