Obama is a sociopathic, narcassist. I will tell you what he believes. In his mind, he believes he will set his personal and world history straight at the same time. He will close the circle by being the son of a muslim who rises to the presidency of the United States and through talk and understanding brings peace to the middle east. The US and Israel’s interests are not paramount with him. Establishing himself in the pantheon of history as a demi-god and thereby righting the sins of and against his father and completing his own egotistical image of himself is.
Despite the campaigns constant denials, Obama was raised a Muslim, learned Arabic, attended mosque. He identifies more with fellow Muslims because they are more like himself, the only kind of empathy a narcissist like Obama understands. He can't identify with America as he sees it all as somehow outside of himself. He is only here to “redeem” us.
