In the year long and exhausting Democrat primary race, he managed to beat Senator Hillary Clinton, the wife of the former president Clinton, despite the fact that the couple possessed an efficient political machine and had many influential cronies.

A man whose past is still obscure has all of a sudden become an idol to many Americans - not just the poor or minorities but also the youth, intellectual elites, entertainment industry and the National media. Two simple words dominated his speeches – 'change' and 'hope'. His speeches having very little substance, except multiple repetitions of the promises to help the middle class, stirred enthusiasm of youth and crowds of his 'worshipers'. The 2008 Democratic National Convention in Denver, where Barack Obama was officially nominated to be his party's candidate for President, more resembled a Roman triumph than a political event. Huge ancient porticos, with giant screens built-in, were installed at the spacious baseball stadium by the Hollywood elite. It seemed that just Roman togas were missing, though even without them, the tenfold blown up image of Barack Obama would be fit for a great ancient hero.

It is worth pointing out that the mostly left-leaning American media (as media is anywhere else in the Western World) has always approached the government in general, and the President in particular, with skepticism and never servility, regardless of their respective political inclination. But this time, as many Americans say, “The Media gave Obama a free ride to the White House”. Mark Halperin, the liberal editor at large of Time magazine was positively outraged at the bias displayed by his colleagues in the mainstream media during their reporting on the 2008 presidential campaign. “It’s the most disgusting failure of people in our business…, extreme bias, … extreme pro-Obama coverage.”

The ballyhoo around the new ‘prophet’ reminding a trite Hollywood production has abruptly split American society. A phenomenon which would not be surprised somewhere in Latin America – enthusiastic crowds rapturously greeting Peron, Castro, Allende or Chaves, are so unwonted in USA that many feel literally physical nausea.

America has not yet known such a personality cult yet. An unprecedented praising of Obama has been going on everywhere - from kindergartens to universities including singing, dancing and hysterical excesses. The cult of Obama has spread far beyond America. On Election Day, crowds of Obama fans assembled in Europe, Africa and other continents, with traces of tears in their eyes, glued to the TV screens wishing for victory of their new idol. A new term has appeared in circulation: ‘obamamania’. Typical headlines included “Obamamania strikes Europe”, Forget the Beatles: Obamamania Hits Britain”, etc. Artifacts and color:black'>souvenirs are being advertised on the American National TV during prime time, like Obama Golden Plate, Obama Golden medal and Obama Golden Coin. Maryland Congressman Elijah Cummings introduced Obama in Baltimore saying, "This is not a campaign for president of the United States, this is a movement to change the world." George Clooney told talk show host Charlie Rose: "He walks into a room and you want to follow him somewhere, anywhere." In a Californian elementary school children learned Soviet-pioneer-like songs about future happiness under Obama’s supervision. In some American schools before the Election Day, all students and teachers were required to come wearing blue uniform (the color of the Democratic Party) with Obama’s depictions. (American public schools are supervised by The Teacher’s Union, de-facto affiliated to Democratic Party). Just enter the word ‘Obama’ in the search engine of YouTube and you will get thousands apologetic videoclips containing songs, poems, gushing young ladies luxuriating in love to Obama and even symphonic compositions. For people raised in totalitarian states, this rings a bitterly familiar tone. Fortunately, a substantial part of the American people understands the real danger of the ‘obamamania’, which is caustically ridiculed on the in Internet (though this isn’t a laughing matter) Some highlights include: Obama National Anthem, Barack Obama Cult of Personality, Baaaarack Obama Cult, Obama - Building a Religion, Obama - cult of personality, New Messiah, Michelle Obama Song, Barack Obama Song, etc. There is a parody in Russian as well: Eaglet Obama.

It’s necessary to put in context the sensitivity in America of applying criticism or negativity toward African-Americans, especially in elite ‘intelligentsia’ circles, where it’s widely accepted that Whites must compensate for past slavery. However, some reporters tried to dig up information on Obama’s past. As a result, many questionable connections have been brought to light highlighted (including at least one with a convicted criminal).

Chicago is famous by its active African-American political group, supported by far left intellectuals. Hyde-Park is a small town to South of Chicago, where Obama has lived; it is for many reasons an out-and-outer nonpareil place in America. For instance, among its residents you can find the first black Congresswoman, Carol Brown as well as two famous odious semi-fascist politicians - the leader of he Nation of Islam, Luis Farrakhan (calling Obama the Messiah) and Jesse Jackson who recently said that Obama would finish with the Zionists influence. These and other such figures from the Chicago band staked on Obama and helped him make his way to the big politics. Unlike themselves, he was notable for outh, education, manners, pure English and showman capabilities. Obama’s spiritual mentor during the past 20 years was preacher Jeremiah Wright, whose church Obama regularly visited during that period. Wright also was Obama’s adviser for African-American matters. In the middle of the election campaign, videoclips appeared in YouTube with hysterical hatred speeches of this preacher in which he damned America, blamed the U.S. for 9/11 attacks and claimed that “Jesus was a poor black man who lived in a country and in a culture that was controlled by rich white people - Romans rich and Italian, therefore European/white“. Then Obama seemed to drown. But surprisingly, he got away without problems saying that it was different Jeremiah Write he had known. Later, many convinced his rival John McCain to use these videos in order to discredit Obama but he persistently refused being afraid of raising the race theme. The media didn’t rush to do that either. Another neighbor and Obama’s friend, with whom with he worked together on local education reform and who introduced Obama to influential people – Bill Ayers. In 1960s and 70s, Ayers and his wife Bernardine Dohrn were participated in terrorist activities creating Weather Underground Organization, which is notable for a campaign from 1969 through the middle 1970s of bombings, riots, and a jailbreak - the bombing attacks were mostly against government buildings, along with several banks. In 1970, they issued a “declaration of war upon the United States government.” Unlike other Weathermen, Ayers was freed due to procedural infractions. Ayers dedicated his apologetic book to Sirhan Sirhan , the killer of Robert Kennedy. Currently, Ayers having not broken his radical views is one of the leaders in American public education. The other close friend of Obama and his political sponsor is Tony Rezko who is currently serving term for real estate fraud. The mansion where Obama’s family lives and the adjacent property were bought by then State Senator Obama for a price lower than market (which could be considered as a camouflaged bribe). By the way, Obama made excuses for this relationship with Rezko said again that he knew different Tony. And this is far not all the story. During 2008 primaries, Obama hired a representative of the left-wing organization ACORN for assistance in election campaign. This organization is infamously known by grafting potential left voters in poor and black neighborhoods. According to witnesses, this year, ACORN people offered them small gifts like cigarettes for registration and visiting polling stations. In Ohio a record was held this year: one person was registered 72 times.

In addition, the most recent scandal should be mentioned: attempts of the Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich to Sell Senate Seat vacated by President-elect Barack Obama.

So much dirt would be over and above to stop any American politician at the very early stage of his or her political career. As a matter of fact, such a person would not be even admitted to FBI or CIA as an agent. American reporters and paparazzi, quite sophisticated in digging personal information, didn't make a dust out of all these. Moreover, they were unable or unwilling to get any data from Obama's student years in Columbia and Harvard, even though in due time it was not worth the trouble to learn that president Bush was not a high achiever in the same Harvard. Just one day was enough for these people to break the personal computer of Republican vice president nominee Sarah Palin and to get her personal e-mail, to learn that her daughter was pregnant as well as to get the state tax record of a certain Joe "the Plummer" who had asked Obama about tax policy and was praised by McCain. At the same time, practically nothing is known about Obama's past, his birth, his childhood, his father and stepfather (both were Muslims) which whom he lived.

Obama’s dark past in combination with his cheap populism against the background of the serious economic crisis, bring some bad historic analogy. His leftist terminology aggravates all these. During his conversation with Joe the Plummer, Obama told him that it is good to "spread wealth around". In other words, redistribution of wealth, which contradicts with the basic American principles. This slogan was quickly transformed and now they are saying about “spreading happiness”. You can console yourself that Obama likes showing off before public and while he is busy with this pleasing activity – at home and abroad, Bill Clinton's people will color:black'>manage state affairs. Not having any experience in such deals, he has already appointed them to many important positions. These people are more pragmatic even though some of them have been already discredited.

As a matter of fact, a dangerous critical juncture of things takes place in the country – all branches of real power have been concentrated in the Left's hands: President, Government, Congress, media, unions, schools and colleges. One of the first agendum of the new Congress will be so-called Fairness Doctrine, which is actively promoted by the Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi and the majority leader in Senate Harry Reid to reinstitute it. The Fairness Doctrine was a policy of the United States Federal Communications Commission (FCC) that required the holders of broadcast licenses both to present controversial issues of public importance and to do so in a manner that was (in the commission's view) honest, equitable, and balanced. Actually, it is an attempt to regulate or mandate certain types of speech on the airwaves. ractically, it forces conservative talk radio host to leave the radio stations. In fact, this is the main goal of this campaign - radio is the last resort for American conservatism in media. Proponent of closing conservative radio talk shows, Senator from new York, Charles Schumer even compare them to pornography

In addition, you should take into account practical impossibility to criticize or mock a black president. Laura Ingraham surveyed TV comedians specializing on political satire for whom president Bush was the favorite Pierian spring. These are answers some of them. Chris Rock: "People keep saying, 'It's hard to make jokes about Barack because he's black' and all this crap. He's just cool… It's like certain people are just hard to make fun of." Bill Maher: "He's not angry. He's not a phony. He's not fat. He's not cheating on his wife. Who needs a jerk like that around for the next four years? Come on." But making fun of presidents has been the oldest American tradition, not the least of the factors for keeping the society health...
