The motivation of a strange - and alienating - president

[AVGWarhawk]

This is completely retarded and just bizarre and disjointed. It's another attempt to turn Obama into this "ooh, scary African HUSSEIN Kenyan witch doctor come to slit the throats of white babies."

Wow! Did you really get all of that from this article? I missed that paragraph entirely.

That's a common Dem tactic. They believe that opposition to their grand design just has to be racist, every time.

Even American Conservative magazine finds this article ridiculous:

...conservative pundits and writers such as D’Souza have been indulging in so much evidence-free, ideological babbling for the last two years that many of them now seem convinced that this babbling is actually extremely serious, insightful commentary.

No it's a common Publican tactic. Everytime

That article is reflecting the writer opinion or rather his political standing(views) in regard with Obama

Now I don't see Forbes being sued over defamation libel.

It's important to be and to stay critical when you read something. It doesn't mean one has to be a skeptic but to remain objective. Because exaggerated interpretation of facts and twisted truth may be imbedded to force a certain view to be favored by the readers. And lots of what is written is a matter of mere personal opinion.

For one Wiki tells US only has oil reserve that would last a mere 8 years when exploited.

Now oil is depleting and depleting fast. 21st century will be known to be the end of oil age. Oil prices are going to go sky rocketing before the world really exhausts all of its oil reserves. And what do you think would happen after that if US military equipments, ships, planes and other military machines are deprived of oil not to mention the state of the economy and civilian in general? Those 8 years worth of oil reserve would be crucial to extend US dominance and control for some years before another source of energy can be made reliable.

US has already got enough oil supply from the Saudis, Kuwait and now potentially Iraq so why would it need to steal some more oil from Brazilian coast? There's no free lunch in this world so I'm sure US got something back in return for the financial aid.

You're lucky that you have almost all of your oil reserve unexploited.
In my third world country the people are put under pressure with the increasing oil prices with so little of our average income and the government is already talking about limiting certain oil consumption because it can no longer afford to maintain its subsidy. For heaven sake though we are producing much natural gas, we are having difficulty fulfilling local demands because much of the gas goes to China and Japan for a very low price and over extended period of contract. As far as I know much of the domestic oil gets refined in Singapore and got imported back.

Did you even read the article?

It's like Obama isn't a man, but some sort of Overmind that telepathically controls all branches of government, and thus, anything that the government does can be used to psychoanalyze him.

Policy is not a product of thousands of advisers, congressional staff, experts and bureaucrats, evaluating policy alternatives and promoting them to decision makers. Nope, it's just the implementation of the Overmind's wishes.

Thus, how do we explain something as complex as health care policy? Obama's daddy issues.

Economic policy? Daddy issues. Obama's economic advisers are pretty much just window dressing. They certainly don't dare try and influence the Great Overmind.

Foreign policy? Daddy issues. Heaven knows Hillary, and indeed the entire Department of State, is completely powerless in the face of the Overmind's will.

I did read it.

Fact is Obama is unlike any President we have had and it is difficult for many people to accept, so they write off truthful explanations as racist, far right nut talk etc , esp those who naively voted for him thinking he was what we needed and are not against him.Difficult thing for most people to admit they were wrong, I've had two friends admit to me they regret their vote but not many will.

Obama has no real allegiance to the US, I believe like it or not he is a citzen but because he spent much of his childhood and teen years outside the US mainland and was taught by his mother, grandparents, muslim stepfather, mentor Frank Marshall Davis and father(in the few times he met him), that American was not great, that it was not fair or just "down right mean" as Obama's wife would later put it.Obam was indoctrinated into far left ideology at young age coupled with racial views, his ties to islam and so on, creates a very post American President who as we have seen takes actions contrary to what is best for the US most of the time and against what the citzens want because it does not suit his far left view of America.

One of the most telling things about Obama is how time and time again he comes down on the opposite side of the American people on nearly everything.Lets take a look.

1.Healthcare aka Obamacare, multiple polls show the nation currently is against and was against this monstrosity at the time of its passage, but he had Pelosi etc to push that garbage down the American people's throat because he is commited to his ideology which is not in line with this country.

2.The Mosque, every poll shows Americans do not want the Mosque near the WTC site yet Barry yet again defies the citizens on this sensitive issue under the guise of the constitution(which he knows but does not care for) but in reality it's because his ties with Islam either blind him with sympathy to see what the mosque represents or he knows and does not care.

3.Cap and Trade, Obama still wants Cap and Trade passed, it prob wont but even though most Americans are against it, he wants it passed.

4.Stimulus, esp the second one that is rumored to be in the works.People were and are against this, but he seems to be for it.

5.Taxes.Obama is intent on raising taxes in January and will now only raise on the "rich" playing some more class warfare.The citizens are against raising taxes.

6.Apology Tour

7.Black Panthers

The list goes on and on and will keep growing.


As to your "Overmind" rant.Well true there are thousands of bureaucrats etc and many advisers but Obama has appointed many like minded people and made his views and intentions(for most part) well known to them so they carry out his wishes.Other Presidents do this but this President and his people have far left views and do not let "little" things like the constitution get in their way.


Bottom line...The current President is a far left ideologue with no real loyalty to the US.The current President is a man of flawed character due to his chaotic life as a younger man.No doubt there are some mother and father issues.

I ask you this, have you read both of his books? I have, read them both before the election.The second one "Audacity of Hope" is crap, just him trying to smooth things over before he ran from President when he was a sitting Senator.The first, "Dreams of my Father" authored long before he was in politics is the most honest Obama has ever been.This book clearly showed some of his racist views and feelings of inadeqaucy along with some daddy issues.

I believe my second quote sums it up nicely.

This?

If you weren't completely retarded like Mr. D'Souza, you may read Obama Sr.'s paper he mentions and think that it's a legitimate critique of the Kenyan system of land use, education and foreign investment. But If you did happen to be bug-screwing insane, you'd say something like:

I believe he was tying in Obamas book entitled Dreams of my Father. Also, do you now for sure that Mr. D'Souza is in fact retarded?

[Tchocky]

Oh, Dinesh D'Souza. Saw the guy speaking a couple of years ago, it was...not so impressive.

You tend to get bogged down, peering into yawning chasms of stuff like this.

In an eerie conclusion, Obama writes that "I sat at my father's grave and spoke to him through Africa's red soil." In a sense, through the earth itself, he communes with his father and receives his father's spirit. Obama takes on his father's struggle, not by recovering his body but by embracing his cause. He decides that where Obama Sr. failed, he will succeed. Obama Sr.'s hatred of the colonial system becomes Obama Jr.'s hatred; his botched attempt to set the world right defines his son's objective. Through a kind of sacramental rite at the family tomb, the father's struggle becomes the son's birthright.

Crikey.

Well that is a stretch however we are a product of our upbringing. Obama spent a better part of his youth globe trotting. Certainly these travels influence who, what and why in his decision making.
