Is The Obama Diaries fact or fiction?
When she opened the envelope at the W hotel about a hundred yards from the White House (she claimed she didn't drive home as she was afraid to), she discovered that the envelope contained the handwritten diaries of President Barrack Obama, Michelle Obama, her mother Marian Robinson, Vice President Joe Biden, Rahm Emanuel, David Axelrod, and others who are involved in the Obama's Presidency campaign.
And so she decided that the rest of America deserves to know what their President, the First Lady, The First Grandmother, the Vice-President and the entire campaign team had written in their diaries.
My first thought was, wasn't that rather convenient? The busiest people in the world actually has the time to write a diary and they ended up in her hands? I also thought that the part about the mystery man in the shadows booming out to her to read it and that she'd know what to do with it sounds a little bit like a bad script out of a B-grade movie.
Anyway, I decided to continue reading. My conclusion was, those "diaries" were not authentic. Why? Well, besides the suspicions I expressed in the paragraph above, Barrack Obama had worked very hard in the campaign. It just didn't make any sense that he would trivialize his own inauguration. But most of all, it is the language used in the "diaries". The language used was that of a gossip-monger passing on a juicy, slanderous gossip to another. To me, the style of writing was not the type one would use when writing a personal diary. I could be wrong, of course.
Based on the above, I think the diaries were either planted, or Laura Ingraham cooked up the whole thing on her own as a publicity stunt at best, or as a hatred campaign against Obama.
She certainly came across as very anti non-Americans. She considered being American as an exceptional and special race, and that America had a right to dictate to the rest of the world. But that was just my personal opinion. I'm curious to know what others think.
