FORBES controversial article: "How Obama Thinks"

[KenC]

You guys need to be a little more critical of op/ed articles. This guy is no better than Arianna Huffington ranting and raving. I'm not an ardent Obama supporter, but dishonesty isn't helping anybody (well, maybe Steve Forbes in this case). That article is NOT journalism.

"Obama's foreign policy is no less strange. He supports a $100 million mosque scheduled to be built near the site where terrorists in the name of Islam brought down the World Trade Center. Obama's rationale, that "our commitment to religious freedom must be unshakable," seems utterly irrelevant to the issue of why the proposed Cordoba House should be constructed at Ground Zero."

- The quote is ABSOLUTLEY relevant. Restricting where one can build a house of worship is directly in opposition to religious freedom.


"Recently the London Times reported that the Obama Administration supported the conditional release of Abdel Baset al-Megrahi, the Lockerbie bomber..."

-If you've read the actual memo, you'd know this is false. The refute of this has been so well documented that I won't elaborate here.

"What then is Obama's dream? We don't have to speculate because the President tells us himself in his autobiography, Dreams from My Father . According to Obama, his dream is his father's dream. Notice that his title is not Dreams of My Father but rather Dreams from My Father . Obama isn't writing about his father's dreams; he is writing about the dreams he received from his father."

- Too much inference based upon one word in the title of a book.


The NASA comments are comical at best.


That article is NOT Journalism.

Maybe we should elect people who have actually run successful businesses or companies, vs people who have spent their entire lives in the Academic sphere waxing poetic about how things should be.

Very interesting.

Where we come from has MUCH to do with who we are. This makes too much sense, unfortunately.

I wish this country could hit 88MPH and head directly into 12:00PM January 20, 2013.

Wow. Talk about some serious brass.

The President isn't exactly a socialist. So what's driving his hostility to private enterprise? Look to his roots.
