Good article. I guess what the American Revolution was to the 13 colonies — overthrowing the injustice of England’s imperialism — is what Sr. Obama wanted to accomplish for Africa. And now his son, who is an America, wants an American Revolution against America, of which he is the president. The irony is too great. America unknowingly elects it’s own revolutionary president — a George Washington — against America.
I have some problems with the article: 1) I think D’Souzza gives too much credibility or places too much emphasis on Obama’s book. Obama’s book was supposedly written by Ayers and who knows what types distortions and how much liberties were taken by that writer. Obama is a remarkable liar and that book may also prove to be part of Obama’s long and spectacular history of lies. I don’t believe being candid and forthright is a part of Obama’s nature.
2) Obama didn’t get into the White House in a vacuum and that means he was “used” and continues to be used by special interests. Part of politics is compromise and the hardest thing is to retain your original objectives. What are Obama’s objectives: getting elected. He has no history of accomplishments aside from that. Nothing in the senate. Therefore, I wonder if it truly is a narcissistic feature of his personality that drives him and the rest is just fodder — to be used in however way — for his personal ambition of being in power and being liked. Fox News has so little to do with colonialism but that is what sparks him. Anti colonialism policies may be part of what he studied in schooled and what his socialistic advisers and sages have set up for him and he goes through the motions — but Fox News and “talked to like a dog” are his hot buttons and passion points. Obama was groomed for winning elections. He was treated as a prize race horse in the stable of the rich and powerful the object is winning races and getting decorated with nice things. What follows after winning may not be what is closest or deepest to him.
I think it is always tempting to try to see what’s behind the facade, behind the image of the man and see what really motivates a person. Human are complex creatures and there is a lot going on. How much of what see is manufactured or a blank screen to cast or project our own images on? If anybody understands Obama, hopefully it is Obama. And yet, like star studded Hollywood fans watching a matinee idol, we persist.
What’s much scarier is the number of idiot comments below the article. If it was just one lunatic president or a couple dozen loon politicians then we would stand a chance.
We are being ruled by countless millions of lunatics. There is absolutely no hope. Not a prayer.
Thanks, I’ve already posted a rely.
They didn’t make a “blunder”. They are just as stupid and insane as the president. Millions of vermin in this country are absolutely delighted.
Excellent perspective!
It’s the kind of article you could copy and e-mail to everybody in your address-book, including lifelong-Democratic-voter Aunt Sophie, and gain a big harvest of comprehension.”
Really then you were for the Bush Kennedy McCain amnesty and flooding our country with his “Great Religion” buddies.
NO I see the Lefty here very plainly.
No it won’t. There is no cure for terminal stupidity.
Leftists just need to be put to death before they destroy any more lives.
Those same millions will find absolutely nothing wrong with this article. (if they actually read)
The American people really had no idea who they were voting for. They were completely clueless and ignorant about the consequences of electing this charlatan to the highest and most powerful office in the land.
And now we all pay the price for the electorate's stupidity.
>Obama Sr ?? Look up the Average IQ of Kenya for starters then one can understand this Communist lover.
By definition, for large populations the average IQ *should* be 100.
Glenn BEck was perhaps only stating the obvious when he took it upon himself to actually examine what were the “Dreams from my Father” that comprised the title of Obama’s book, and found that those “Dreams” turned out to be, basically, nothing more than Communism, nuance it any way you want.
Large parts of Africa have already gone in that direction,
to tragic effect.
“>Obama Sr ?? Look up the Average IQ of Kenya for starters then one can understand this Communist lover.

LOL it is 72

That’s somewhat unexpected.
A standard deviation in IQ, IIRC, is 15... so anything in 85..115 would be unsurprising in an individual, but that range narrows the larger of a subsample you take.
To have a NATIONAL avg IQ of 72 is probabilistically vanishingly small. (A mode of 72, which states only that ‘72’ is the most common repeated value would be surprising, but much less so than avg IQ.)
There are two things that I would be concerned about in the validity here:
1 - The educated v uneducated impact on IQ; technically speaking education/lack-thereof should have a minimum impact on the actual IQ.
and
2 - Averages describe the extreme cases more than the “most often encountered”-case {as an example imagine a town of 100 people where 99 make $1/hr and one makes $500/hr... the average wage is $5.99/hr which is near six times what most are making.}
Speaking of loyalty to Kenya, are these dots connective?
1) Rahm Emmanual takes a vacation in Africa about the time Obama’s Kenyan birth was being touted and he just happens to visit Kenya.
2) About the same time a USA merchant ship gets highjacked off east Africa. After hijackers are shot the ship procedes on to offload relief cargo at Kenya port.
3) Following the freed hijacked ship is another large cargo ship which also unloads relief cargo in Kenya.
4) Around this same time Kenya closes down all info as to Obama’s personal links to Kenya. These links are widespread publicly but now are kept secret officially.
Watched it all - very good indeed. I would go even further though they hate good because their acts are evil (I know I read this in the Bible somewhere but not too good on remembering where) - in other words because they wish to give into their own evil desires and perversions then they must banish any thought or judgement as to what is normal or good.
Obviously this is not all Liberals but once you get a large part of the population thinking this way you just wind it up and let it go - it becomes self-perpetuating. Sadly I can look at myself and see how this indoctrination and constant bombardment can even have an affect on how I react to various situations but hopefully not my core beliefs!

Here Sub-Sahara Africa is a intellectual basket case NOW I understand what we are dealing with here in this country.
Looks like they still didn’t get it. Look at the comment of that moron who blames off-shore drilling on our use of oil. No mention of the leftist vermin who prevent on-shore drilling.
Leftists don’t care about the living standards of these 300+ million, except perhaps their own elitist selves.
I’ve had it with these “things”! They need to be die before they cause any more destruction. You can’t reason with them. You can’t reason with a virus!
Don't forget that Paulson (under Bush) forced a number of these banks to take TARP loans to hide the really bad ones, only to have them demonized later for being bailed out.
Which brings up a point I make over and over. Boehner as minority leader sold TARP to whichever house Republicans could be suckered in 2008. The GOP house keeping him on as leader is a very bad decision because it is common knowledge that he pleaded for that TARP vote “For the good of the country”. His hands are dirty even while complaining about bailouts now himself. He is a country club Republican, exactly what we don't need in charge now.
I know Obama went off on Boehner yesterday for opposing him. Pretty funny since few know who Boehner is, anymore than voters knew who Pelosi was in 2008. Obama was trying to work his base up and Bush is not playing that role for them anymore. All democrats can go for is 'the base' now. We saw that with Republicans in 2006.
Thanks. I will read the post.
