Barack Obama: The Pied Piper of Powerlessness

I have yet to hear a phrase that more powerfully evokes the essence of Obama’s message and being. I call him a victim pimp put the “Pied Piper of Powerlessness” is far more poetic and beautifully sketches an image of those who have been mesmerized by his narcotic melodies.

The video below is a succinct summation of the man who would be king. A wounded man - the most dangerous kind. Following that are some excerpts from “The Mask of Barack Obama: A Psychological Profile.”

Excerpts from “The Mask of Barack Obama: A Psychological Profile”

In his book “Dreams From my Father,” Obama lays out the foundation for an examination of his character and personality. That seminal work reveals much, and almost all of what it reveals is truthful and applicable to his presidential prospects.

Obama’s life began with loss, hurt, confusion, alienation, frustration. Out of these he constructed a psychological “mask” that still endures.

Every individual wears a mask. It is a part of reality and a part of a healthy personality and psyche.
But Obama’s pain still controls his personality. Like Dr. Strangelove’s arm, that can’t help rising, Obama’s sense of loss, exclusion, frustration and fantasy still overarch his personality. He authored a book “Dreams From My Father,” when in reality he got no dreams from his father. Obama created his father’s “dreams” in his own fantasy world. The fantasies associated with the “missing parent” are among the most powerful, the most enduring and occasionally the most devastating in human experience.

He was “Barry” until he went to college. Then he became the tribal Barack. But on his first visit to his “roots” in Kenya, he once again succumbs to “Barry,” because that is what his father and family called him.

He apparently held and still holds Kenyan-American dual nationality, but has scrupulously avoided any discussion of his “dual” status. Duality is not what Obama craves: he craves the singular, the linear, and the straight and narrow, to compensate for his own confused and winding initiation into the hardship of life and family, of creating a personality and mask consonant with his troubled feelings.

Over and over again, Obama returns in his speeches and in his writings to a sense of loss, alienation, detachment. He is a skillful promoter, and he manages to overcome his mask, to gild it with soft statements and lofty promises. He sells his weakness as a new paradigm of strength, security and clarity when there is little strength and no clarity in his mind.
Indeed the very essence of his personality is the perpetual, eternal promise unfulfilled. Obama’s “Hope” is the absence of reality, the unattainable in his own life scaled up to a national fantasy which he hopes to peddle to unsuspecting voters and especially young people. When he fails, they will feel betrayed.

[...]
Ultimately, Obama’s personality matrix left Obama weak inside, weak under the surface, “all sail and no anchor.” He learned to avoid conflict, not fight. His mother raised someone who would run away, not stand his ground. And in Iraq that could prove fatal.

Obama says his campaign is “not just about me.” But in his mind it will always be just about him. Righting the wrongs he perceived and experienced as a child. Strengthening the powerlessness he reviled. Restoring his role, the one his siblings called his father’s “Obama” attitude, in the pantheon of politics. He will strive to be a strong leader on the surface, using powerful language and images; but inside he will still be the pied piper of powerlessness. And know it.

Obama has succeeded largely by his successful concealment at the margins. Obama’s natural tendency, his default state of mind, is to evade, conceal, avoid–and escape. He managed to hide his middle name in 2004; he can’t any longer. Questions of family background will still plague him.

[..]

War is war, but war is also psychology. Obama’s psychology is weak…Obama is still the outsider, still the one who needs to justify himself, and still the one who still needs to create a fantasy land and to compensate for the void left by his absent father.

As much as Obama might try to change his face, to abandon his “old” Obama for a “new” persona, he cannot do so. His growth is limited by the demons within him. The mask is rigid, hardened.
He approached the American people as though he were speaking to a college audience, casual and insufficiently serious for someone who asks for the right to put his hand on the nuclear button as well as Washington’s bible.

[Ed:all emphasis mine]

Obama’s dual citizenship is unacceptable, but then his 2006 trip to Kenya in support of his Marxist cousin Raila Odingawas also unacceptable in a sitting senator, especially one that has spent his entire political life campaigning for office. I’m betting that most Americans would find much about Obama that is unacceptable, none of which has much to do with the color of his skin. But the media will certainly not examine these issues. The boring, never ending and baseless mewling about racism releases into the air like a noxious gas anytime anyone brings to bear the many failings and duplicities of this puppet Obama.

And puppet he most assuredly is, dangling by the gilded strings of Soros and company.
