But when asked at a 2009 press conference whether he believed in this ideal, Obama said no. America, he suggested, is no more unique or exceptional than Britain or Greece or any other country.
Really? Having a realistic view of the country is a bad thing?

Quote:
Remarkably, President Obama, who knows his father's history very well, has never mentioned his father's article.
What? He has never mentioned an article written 45 years ago by someone else in a different time and context? This is truly suspicious!!! What is he hiding???

Quote:
He came to view America's military as an instrument of neocolonial occupation.
That's why he's extended operations in Afghanistan. Oh, wait.

Quote:
Why support oil drilling off the coast of Brazil but not in America? Obama believes that the West uses a disproportionate share of the world's energy resources, so he wants neocolonial America to have less and the former colonized countries to have more.
Or he thinks it would be a good idea if more of the world's oil supply didn't come from the Gulf. Naah, that' can't be it - it isn't sinister enough.

Quote:
Rejecting the socialist formula, Obama has shown no intention to nationalize the investment banks or the health sector. Rather, he seeks to decolonize these institutions. That's why Obama retains the right to refuse bailout paybacks--so that he can maintain his control.
Wow, I never took Geitner and Summers to be anti-colonialists.

Quote:
For Obama, health insurance companies on their own are oppressive racketeers, but once they submitted to federal oversight he was happy to do business with them. He even promised them expanded business as a result of his law forcing every American to buy health insurance.
You mean he can do business with them after he's forced them to stop discriminating based on pre-existing conditions? And he painted the bright side of the compulsory insurance deal (necessary because health insurance companies make money off the people who don't use their insurance) for them? He's a politician, in other words?

And what about all the health care policy experts and members of Congress who supported this policy? Are they anti-colonialists too?

I'm sure policy wonks have been kicking this idea around for years before they had even heard of Obama.

It's almost as if Dinesh is an idiot who doesn't know how the government actually works.

Quote:
Obama supports the Ground Zero mosque because to him 9/11 is the event that unleashed the American bogey and pushed us into Iraq and Afghanistan.
Right, that's the reason why he and everyone else who believes in religious freedom and who is against discrimination, supports Park 51. Good job, Dinesh.

Obama is damned if he does and damned if he doesn't. Someone will always find some sinister rationale for whatever he does.
