As President Barack Obama's poll rating heads south, Ben Stein explains why in The American Spectator: ******************** "... Why is President Barack Obama in such a hurry to get his socialized medicine bill passed? Because he and his cunning circle realize some basic truths: The American people in their unimaginable kindness and trust voted for a pig in a poke in 2008. They wanted so much to believe Barack Obama was somehow better and different from other ultra-leftists that they simply took him on faith. They ignored his anti-white writings in his books. They ignored his quiet acceptance of hysterical anti-American diatribes by his minister, Jeremiah Wright. They ignored his refusal to explain years at a time of his life as a student. They ignored his ultra-left record as a "community organizer," Illinois state legislator, and Senator. The American people ignored his total zero of an academic record as a student and teacher, his complete lack of scholarship when he was being touted as a scholar. Now, the American people are starting to wake up to the truth. Barack Obama is a super likeable super leftist, not a fan of this country, way, way too cozy with the terrorist leaders in the Middle East, way beyond naïveté, all the way into active destruction of our interests and our allies and our future. The American people have already awakened to the truth that the stimulus bill -- a great idea in theory -- was really an immense bribe to Democrat interest groups, and in no way an effort to help all Americans. Now, Americans are waking up to the truth that ObamaCare basically means that every time you are sick or injured, you will have a clerk from the Department of Motor Vehicles telling your doctor what he can and cannot do. The American people already know that Mr. Obama's plan to lower health costs while expanding coverage and bureaucracy is a myth, a promise of something that never was and never will be -- a bureaucracy lowering costs in a free society. Either the costs go up or the free society goes away. Mr. Obama knows Americans are getting wise and will stop him if he delays at all in taking away our freedoms. There is his urgency and our opportunity. Once freedom is lost, America is lost. Wake up, beloved America ...." ***************** Ben Stein is a writer, actor, economist, and lawyer living in Beverly Hills and Malibu .

Where was this mealy-mouthed asshole last fall? Now he comes up with this brilliance. He is just riding the Obama train wreck unfolding before our eyes and wants to capitalize on it.
No no no, haven't you guys heard? Ben Stein is an evil jew zionist. He's just trying to brainwash you in the favor of the evil jew zionist agenda.
In my opinion he hit the nail on the head in December...... http://finance.yahoo.com/expert/article/yourlife/126180
He was right about Geithner. I do not see any criticism of Obama. The joker was hedging his bets, because Obama criticism is in play big time after the fact. Some on this board called the Obama fiasco months ago. Where was Stein then?
Excellent point. Where were all these guys during the campaign, when it mattered? Why weren't they getting the truth out about Obama then? Why did the republicans nominate a guy who had more negative things to say about Mitt Romney than he did about Obama? I suggest next election republicans ask themselves if they want to nominate a guy who wants to win or one who will be satisfied with pleasing the liberal media.
