Oren: Obama's abandonment by Muslim father figures may explain policies

jpost.com ^ | 6/21/15 | Herb Keinon

[Nachum]

Former ambassador to the US Michael Oren, whose book on his experience in Washington is due out on Tuesday, continues to ruffle feathers by criticizing US President Barack Obama’s Mideast policies in op-ed pieces in the US press.

In a piece Friday in Foreign Policy, Oren – who left Washington on October 1, 2013, and is now a Kulanu MK -- charged that Obama was naïve as a peacemaker, had blinders to terrorism, and that his abandonment by both his Muslim father and step-father had something to do with his desire to be accepted by their “co-religionists.”

And in a Friday piece in the Los Angeles Times, he argued that one major difference between Israel and the US on Iran was that while Israel viewed Iran as an irrational actor, Obama views them as a rational one.

Oren's op-ed last week in the Wall Street Journal arguing that Obama abandoned two long-held principles of the US-Israel relationship – that there be no public daylight between the two allies and that there be no surprises – triggered an angry response from the State Department and US Ambassador Dan Shapiro, who said Oren, who wrote two acclaimed books of history, was now a politician trying to sell books.

Former Israeli envoy to US pens op-ed for 'Foreign Policy' in which he dissects the origins of Obama's policy in Middle East.

Happy father's day Mr. President. :)

"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. ..."

His mother dumped him too just as he was entering puberty.
Sent him back to Hawaii from Indonesia to live with her parents.

When his presidency is over the press is going to dump him too.

So fathers, or the absence of a father, makes a difference in a child’s life?

Obama’s Communist Mentor

excerpt...

"through Frank Marshall Davis, Obama had an admitted relationship with someone who was publicly identified as a member of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA). The record shows that Obama was in Hawaii from 1971-1979, where, at some point in time, he developed a close relationship, almost like a son, with Davis, listening to his 'poetry' and getting advice on his career path. But Obama, in his book, Dreams From My Father, refers to him repeatedly as just 'Frank.'

The reason is apparent: Davis was a known communist who belonged to a party subservient to the Soviet Union. In fact, the 1951 report of the Commission on Subversive Activities to the Legislature of the Territory of Hawaii identified him as a CPUSA member. What's more, anti-communist congressional committees, including the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), accused Davis of involvement in several communist-front organizations."

Frank Chapman, a CPUSA supporter, has written a letter to the party newspaper hailing the Illinois senator's victory in the Iowa caucuses:

"Obama’s victory was more than a progressive move; it was a dialectical leap ushering in a qualitatively new era of struggle. Marx once compared revolutionary struggle with the work of the mole, who sometimes burrows so far beneath the ground that he leaves no trace of his movement on the surface. This is the old revolutionary 'mole,' not only showing his traces on the surface but also breaking through."

They must have meant his stepfather since his father left before he was born.

Reverend Wright is a Communist. He may have been part of the so-called Nation of Islam at one time, but the NoI is just a communist front movement masquerading as a religion (just like Wright's "Black Liberation Theology" thing).

Louis Farrakhan, at the Millions More Movement rally in DC, Oct 15, 2005: "...what Mao Tse Tung did was, he went to the cultural community, and they [Farrakhan spreads his arms beneficently] accepted his idea."... "Mao Tse Tung ... had a billion people whose lives he had to transform."..."the idea of Mao Tse Tung became the idea of a billion people, and China became a world power on the base of the culture and the arts community. If we had a ministry of art and culture in every city we'd create this movement [in the U.S.]."

Unity generates power to change reality
By the Honorable Minister Louis Farrakhan

"The time has never been more ripe for a strategic relationship between the Black, Brown, Native American and the poor of this nation and the world."

"We need a Ministry of Defense. Our young men are born soldiers, but they are in the wrong war. They are fighting a war in the streets of America against each other, or they are fighting an unjust war overseas in Afghanistan and Iraq. We need to bring our boys home and put them into the Ministry of Defense, so we can defend our communities, rather than destroy our communities.

We need a Ministry of Art and Culture. We applaud the hip hop community, the leaders of young people all over the world, but I want the young generation of artists to know there is a bigger purpose for art and culture than popping our fingers and shaking our backsides. Mao Tse Tung, throughout his long march to conquer China, had a billion people whose lives he had to transform. Many of them were victims of opium, drugs and prostitution, like we are. But Mao Tse Tung went to the cultural community and they accepted his idea. Then, through song, dance, poetry, drama, documentaries, movies and books, the idea of Mao Tse Tung became the idea of a billion people. China became a world power on the base of culture and the artistic community. If we had a Ministry of Art and Culture in every city, [we'd] create this movement [in the U.S.], we could say to our young people, “What is the idea of the Time and are you reflecting that idea in your songs, dance and music?

We need a Ministry of Trade and Commerce. Do you think that a Millions More Movement should not be involved in the development of Africa, the Caribbean and Central America? ... we need a Ministry of Trade and Commerce that can link the struggle here with Africa and the Caribbean, Central and South America.

Obama has the mentality, experience, logic and ideology of a Chicago City Councilman.

The old question of 2008 - how did such a man get to a position so far above his competency??

[GreyFriar]

You asked: “how did such a man get to a position so far above his competency??”

He was the front man for the communists who have been running the Democrat Party for the last 40 years. The Democrat presidential convention of 1972 that nominated George McGovern was the taking over of the Dem party by the communists that had been infiltrating it since the 1930s.

Read “Dupes” by Paul Kengor.

[Aria]

Interesting post!

[savagesusie]

” how did such a man get to a position so far above his competency??”

Libido Dominandi (E.Michael Jones). This elite “rule of the world” has been going on for over 100 years and they got the technology in the early 1900s to control the Minds of the Masses to a large degree....to create useful idiots.

John Dewey was instrumental in 1930 as was Eddie Bernays (Freud’s nephew)——and it was all to destroy Christianity (Kill God) so that Man could be god.

These Lucifereans are all sodomites and the elites control obama and their useful idiots or they kill them, and they intend to flip Good and Evil and make Slavery, Freedom like the Marxists that infiltrated the Supreme Court are about to do-—to destroy Virtue and Reason in all children in the USA by promotion of sodomy in “Just” Law.....removal of Right Reason and Natural Law from our Constitution (it is unconstitutional).

Without Rule of Law (Higher Law/God’s Laws) we only have Rule of Man—obama—oligarchy/supreme court. Civil society will collapse with unjust (evil) law (Cicero). All Just Law promotes “public virtue” only.

Christianity concept of Individualism and Natural Law (Reason /Logic) is erased in the minds of children through the public school indoctrination system which removed Classical Education (Bible, also) and posits lies and misinformation (hate, fear of disagreeing with mob think)——and Voila1 You have a mind like Obama’s: a sodomite who is incapable of understanding Good and Evil. No Reason—just full of irrational emotions of hate and self-loathing from abandonment—so he is easily controlled (Vice creates Slaves)——all emotions rule everything (ideologue/Marxist).

Obama is a puppet.

Interesting. Just last week I picked up Oren’s well-regarded “Six Days of War.”

[TangibleDisgust]

didn’t he go on a weeks-long trip to Pakistan as a poor college student with no known means of paying for the trip?

...and wasn’t travel to Pakistan by US citizens restricted at this time, and yet he was able to easily go?

...and wasn’t it on this trip where he decided to change his name from Barry back to Barack?

i think what we don’t know about the particulars of this trip will explain much more why he’s become anti-Israel and anti-America.

He has Mommy issues. Mommy remarries, takes him to Indonesia with step father, has another baby and then ships him thousands of miles away to Grandma & Grandpa.

He doesn’t deserve any type of anything, he is a Muslim, he is evil, he doesn’t want America to succeed, he is a liar, a cheat and a thief....enough said...

omg we’d never want a book pimper in our White House! Or someone who made millions in royalties pimping books...... or someone pimping books and running for the White House!

oh, wait...

[txrefugee]

Perhaps the Democrats should have thought twice about giving the presidency to a man scarred by a radical, un-American childhood. He knew nothing but hatred of this country from his Leftist family and his mentor, Frank Davis.

No one should be president who hasn’t played little League baseball or high school football or played in the school band. Those attachments to our culture are missing in this foreigner’s background. The fabric of our nation is torn by his ugly attitude toward the people of the USA.
