The Grudge: Barry Soetoro's Indonesian Expatriate Hell
American Thinker ^ | Sept 10, 2010 | Thomas Lifson

Posted on 09/10/2010 12:45:40 AM PDT by Rashputin

In his most formative years, the boy who became President of the United States was, in other words, subjected to humiliating, demeaning membership in a lower caste and cognizant both of the seemingly undeserved privileges of children born to high-caste expatriates and the grinding poverty of ordinary Indonesians among whom his family lived. That a deep anger and sense of unfairness would develop in such a situation seems more than likely, laying the groundwork for resentment of American power and wealth, and an embrace of anti-colonialist ideologies which undergirded a quest for political revenge, later in life.

It was not a pleasant life Barack Obama endured in Jakarta as the child Barry Soetoro. Regrettably, all Americans are now forced to share some of his pain.

Of all the people I have been privileged to meet....any one of them from a dysfunctional, poor, gypsy-like, mixed race family........having acquired a Harvard education, been successful and elected to the highest office in this Nation would have remarked at one time:

“I have been very blessed”

Has BO ever said that he is lucky, blessed, fortunate, overwhelmed, grateful, honored or humbled??????

This article, without ever mentioning them, easily explains the perversely anti-selfish vacations the Obamas have been taking this year that do nothing but antagonize the American people. Indeed, they've been doing this in the face of Chicago political history that shows how toxic such vacations can be for the political fates of the vacationers.

The only logical purpose for doing it must be to act out the deep hatred both feel for America and Americans by deliberately jabbing shit covered sticks in our collective faces. This article brilliantly shows where his bitter hatred comes from.

For Moochelle, it's pretty simple too: After getting an AA red carpet to becoming a lawyer and only four years of practice, she got into some kind of murky, unethical mess that got her squeezed out of the Illinois bar with a court order that she not go back in. That's more than enough for her to share all of the Illegal's resentments and want to do the in your face Spanish vacation, especially during the recession, politics and the impact on the DemonRats be damned.

Hum, he worked for Mobil eh...I wonder if anyone at XOM can find some form of employment application or employee file that lists Soetoro’s dependents, including their citizenship.

Indonesians aren’t poor because America is affluent.

America isn’t affluent because other nations are poor.

America ia affluent because it has ignored Liberals’ and Socialists’ moonbat hallucinations for a long time.

Well put knarf. His upbringing is so radically “other” compared to that of your average 49 year old American male; he has no emotional connection to this country and instead hates it.

"It could also explain why Barack has no resemblance to any parent."

But he does have a striking resemblance to a grandparent:

Could Barack’s mother have done a worse job as a mother?

I just remember BO talking about how his mother had to battle the insurance companies in the last years of her life. I guess her Harvard Law school son was too busy organizing the community.
