Most of us knew all this before he was elected. Those who didn’t know just didn’t care - they were voting for a black man. Unfortunately, not a black American.

The most extraordinary thing about this article is that any of this still needs to be said in Sept. 2010 and that there are any Americans at all who are not 100% aware of all this.

It is a great article, but it’s a story that should have been told by every so-called journalist from the moment that Obama appeared to have any shot at all at being nominated for POTUS.

Instead, we have had a stealth liar candidate become the Manchurian President with the active connivance and/or incompetent sloth of virtually all of the media.

Every word was gold, but this was fantastic: “The Weekly Standard summarizes Obama’s approach as omnipotence at home, impotence abroad.”

In fact it is my new tagline

Interesting theory....unless of course, someone else was his father.

This article chaps my @ss. We (freepers) told everyone that Obama hates America and is bent on her destruction. They called us racists and Islamophobists.

Now they get the picture by reading what Obama Sr. wrote and realizing WHERE Obama spent his formulative years?! Now?!

Obama declared his candidacy in February of 2007. They had nearly TWO YEARS to research what we were telling them.

“Better late than never” doesn’t apply here either because the POS is alreay in office and already remaking America into his vision of what she should be.

I hate to sound like Bill Paxton in Aliens, but “Game Over, man! Game Over!” Significant damage has been done. And we can’t nuke the SOB from orbit as the only way to be sure he’s out of power.

The Obama’s may hate the rich, but they would have no 50k/week houses to rent without the rich. Maybe they should vacation in a hut with a campfire.

“Sycacuse”
“Corpse-Man” (which admittedly I didn’t know how to pronounce either, but Obama went to Haaa-vahrd)

Rejecting the socialist formula, Obama has shown no intention to nationalize the investment banks or the health sector.

B.S. Obama wants and tried for a Public Option in H/C. A Public Option is the first step to nationalizing H/C because insurance companies are unable to compete long term with the government insurance. He absolutely does want to nationalize H/C. He just couldn't get it by the American people.

All this has been discussed by Beck, Limbaugh and Savage. Nothing really new here...

Interesting thesis, but Obama probably picked up as much from his mother and grandfather as he did from the father he may have met only once.

Anti-colonialism may give a particular spin or tint or tone to Obama's utterances, but his mother came across her left-wing views in the US, and so did young Barack.

It's also a bit of a stretch to say that Obama's attitude towards health care or banking comes from anti-colonialism.

But Dinesh does understand that politicians usually don't have much of a master plan that they're trying to implement. If Obama does, he'd be the exception.

Politicians (like the rest of us) push or pull in one direction all their lives -- it might be more government or less government, more equality or more freedom -- and when they get elected they just go on pushing or pulling in the same way.

This philandering, inebriated African socialist, who raged against the world for denying him the realization of his anti-colonial ambitions, is now setting the nation's agenda through the reincarnation of his dreams in his son.

Truly frightening. So we are not governed by a U.S. citizen but RULED by a philandering, inebriated African Socialist.

When we look at him don't see the greatness of America reflected back to us, but the visage of someone not familiar to us and he looks like none of us. Nor experiences our country as a citizen, but as a disconnected usurper of our greatness. He needs to go now.

Obama, the African Colonial

It's very similar to Dinesh D'Souza's analysis. It was reposted four times after my posting.

zero's insanity is only the vehicle by which powers that be steer their ship of state.

We must more than wake up .. we must admit some tinfoilers (Birchers f'rinstance) WEREN'T nuts, but right on.

The truly hard part will be the inevitable conclusive action we must admit to taking.

Term limits must become an issue for citizens who want us to clean up our government and regain sanity in how this country is run.

Term limits are not good for the conservative cause. The new candidates typically get into a competition over who will give away more of the store if elected. Old politicians grow more conservative with time, even the leftists. As in business, the speed of government going bankrupt is partially a function of the speed of leadership turnover. We need to get the turnover rate down. In fact we would have been better off with a conservative King George Washington than a two term founding President.

Brilliant speech. I watched it from start to finish. Excellent.

You are also correct. You set all the pieces in place for me and now I clearly see what it is liberalism stands for. It is against everything in order to make nothing important enough to fight for or against.

It is just about the most demented and messed up logic I have ever seen, and I could not understand it. You clarified it for me. Thank you!

Incredibly, the U.S. is being ruled according to the dreams of a Luo tribesman of the 1950s. This philandering, inebriated African socialist, who raged against the world for denying him the realization of his anticolonial ambitions, is now setting the nation's agenda through the reincarnation of his dreams in his son.

Yes, that would be correct. And that is, in and of itself, the reason that being a natural born citizen, under the traditional definition of two citizen parents, is such an important prerequisite for being POTUS. Obama Sr. was never a citizen of America. He has no vested interest in her success. In fact, as this article shows, he had a vested interest in the destruction of American exceptionalism. Had Sr. been an American citizen, perhaps his dreams, and therefore Jr.'s, would include some love of country and pride in American exceptionalism.
