Hugh Hewitt & Mark Steyn on Obama 'Dreams'.

[Chief Engineer]

Thanks for the ping LucyT! I found an article regarding a gathering of former East West Anthropologists and one of them wrote that Jr is analytical and acts like an anthropologist. When I read that I remembered the hatred and disdain Jr focused on Ann when he said he felt like he was one of her experiments and that her experiment had failed. God help the U.S. that Jr is using the country as his anthropological experiment!

Barack Obama received at least some instruction in the Islamic faith of his father and went with him to the mosque, but the importance of this experience is vastly overstated by conservative commentators who seek to portray Obama as a Muslim of sorts. Radical anti-Americanism, rather than Islam, was the reigning faith in the Dunham household. ...

Barack Obama is a clever fellow who imbibed hatred of America with his mother's milk, but worked his way up the elite ladder of education and career. He shares the resentment of Muslims against the encroachment of American culture, although not their religion. He has the empathetic skill set of an anthropologist who lives with his subjects, learns their language, and elicits their hopes and fears while remaining at emotional distance. That is, he is the political equivalent of a sociopath. The difference is that he is practicing not on a primitive tribe but on the population of the United States.

There is nothing mysterious about Obama's methods. "A demagogue tries to sound as stupid as his audience so that they will think they are as clever as he is," wrote Karl Krauss. Americans are the world's biggest suckers, and laugh at this weakness in their popular culture. Listening to Obama speak, Sinclair Lewis' cynical tent-revivalist Elmer Gantry comes to mind, or, even better, Tyrone Power's portrayal of a carnival mentalist in the 1947 film noire Nightmare Alley. The latter is available for instant viewing at Netflix, and highly recommended as an antidote to having felt uplifted by an Obama speech. ..."

Thanks I have that particular article bookmarked in my dirt in woodpile file. I stumbled across the Anthropology Conference comments last week but didn’t bookmark it. When I find it again I will post the link.
