In His Own Words: Barack Obama on “White Folks”

From the video:

“And yet, even as I imagined myself following Malcom’s call, one line in the book stayed with me. He spoke of a wish he’d once had, the wish that the white blood that ran through him, there by an act of violence, might somehow be expunged”
~Barack Obama, from Dreams of My Father, on reading Malcom X~

This country really does not need to elect a man this obsessed with his frigging black blood, and alternately, so repelled by his white blood. This dude needs therapy, not a presidency.

I’m am so damn sick of hearing about race.

How about a “space race”, or a race to drill oil, or a race to build nuclear power plants? Screw your freaking ethnicity. This election is about the United States of America. Not your conflicted racial psyche.

It’s about unprotected borders, illegal immigration, intrusion of the state in private lives, free speech, building up defenses, naming the enemy and executing a war, developing energy sources, preserving and protecting American sovereignty and the sanctity of the Constitution, as written.

It’s really useful to make the whole damn thing about race when Obama’s actual positions on what matters most to the majority of Americans would send hordes running to McCain.

Creeping Sharia:Forcing Prayer in School

I didn’t think much of any faith based initiative under Bush. I am horrified that Barack Obama has endorsed it. Even more ominous, he intends to expand the list of faiths to whom it applies.

Christians I can handle. They have yet to threaten to kill me when I offend them. Real Christians (as opposed to the pseudo _christian left) have a healthy respect for free will. More so, they have a healthy respect for life. Islam respects neither, in fact, muslims respect nothing outside of Islam, least of all the right to worship any god, or no god at all.

Given Obama’s seemingly natural affinity for totalitarian systems, I clearly expect him to gravitate towards the autocratic dictates of Islam. And expanding faith based initiatives will open the door ever wider for Islam. More to the point, it isn’t as if they are a body of impoverished believers, hurting for money. Islam has a steady revenue of Wahabbi and Saud money flowing into their coffers. Let them fund their own freaking initiatives.The idea of adding American tax dollars is tantamount to handing ammunition to the enemy.

Islam is quietly crossing the threshold of our schools in this country while hysterical muslims scream “racism’ anytime parents protest. The lamentable and subversive ACLU does absolutely nothing about it. But of course, you have to grow a pair to confront Islam and the dhimmi ACLU are far to used to the easy victories they have had suppressing Christianity.

If American remains indifferent, they’ll be longing for the days when Christianity was the only religion they had to contend with. Don’t believe me. Start reading the blogs and news out of Great Britain. Below is only one small example.

Two schoolboys were given detention after refusing to kneel down and ‘pray to Allah’ during a religious education lesson. [snip] “But not only did they have to pray, the teacher had gone into the class and made them watch a short film and then said ‘we are now going out to pray to Allah’. “Then two boys got detention and all the other children missed their refreshment break because of the teacher. “Not only was it forced upon them, my daughter was told off for not doing it right. [snip] Parents said that their children were made to bend down on their knees on prayer mats which the RE teacher had got out of her cupboard and they were also told to wear Islamic headgear during the lesson on Tuesday afternoon.

Obama Is Not a “Flip Flopper” – He Is, Flat Out, a Liar

Of course, in reProgressive double-speak, that’s called nuance.

The ad begins with the announcer telling us that Obama “worked his way through college and Harvard Law.” Actually, Obama took out loans to get himself through college, as we heard in a 60-second ad his campaign began running last month. We don’t know how much assistance his family provided.

But “worked his way” through college and law school? The only back-up the campaign provided for this claim was a quote from Obama’s book “Dreams from My Father” having to do with a construction job he had one summer while he was in college, and an article mentioning his job as a summer associate one year at a big Chicago law firm. We asked campaign spokesman Tommy Vietor if Obama held jobs during the school year, or other summer jobs, but he said only, “He had the two jobs I told you about.” Unless Obama had a good bit more employment than his spokesman was able to describe for us, it’s a real stretch to claim he “worked his way” through school.
[...]
The ad claims Obama “passed a law to move people from welfare to work, slashed the rolls by 80 percent.” That’s going too far. First, the law in question wasn’t dreamed up out of thin air by its sponsors. It was the follow-up to the welfare reform act, the Personal Responsibility and Work Opportunity Act, that President Clinton signed on Aug. 26, 1996. That law gave states the ability to design their own welfare programs as long as they met certain federal requirements, including limits on how long recipients could get benefits. The bill that Obama cosponsored was Illinois’ version.

And far from having “passed” the bill single-handedly, Obama was among five Senate sponsors of the measure, as we said previously. It was passed by both chambers of the Illinois Legislature and signed into law by the governor.

Notes From Kenya

The U.S. ambassador in Nairobi, Mike Ranneberger, hosted a party yesterday to commemmorate American Independence Day. It was not your typical July 4th barbecue.
[...]
Raila Odinga, the new prime minister, was a big hit, turning up in a stars-and-stripes tie (which I presume he got on his recent trip to Washington). But an even bigger star arrived a few moments later: Sarah Obama (right), the paternal step-grandmother of a certain U.S. Senator, who traveled a long way from her far western village but looked none the worse for wear…

Long before Barack Obama contended for the White House, the Kenya-U.S. relationship was tight — and lucrative for the Kenyan government, which gets about $1 billion in U.S. government aid. In his remarks, Ranneberger stressed the strength of this relationship and praised Kenyans for forming a coalition government to end, or at least paper over, the election violence. He quoted several Swahili proverbs (“Every door has its own key,” was the only one I understood), while Raila took to the stage and quoted Thomas Jefferson (“endowed by our Creator with inalienable rights”). It was quite the lovefest. (Source)

It is interesting to note that some Kenyans recognize a bit of RINO blood in Mr. Ranneberger.

The US ambassador to Kenya is a jumpy-jumpy man. He was appointed by the Republicans and Bush to serve in Kenya. Now he realises that the republicans may be defeated in November then he starts telling Kenyans that the Americans are ready to be lead by Obama. The same ambassador has been pushing for Raila to be respected as PM in Kenya. May be he wants a job from Obama if he wins and most definitely, he may ask the US government to remain in Kenya until he sees Kibaki out of power. This man – Ranneberger is very disturbing. George Bush, his boss should punish him by recalling him now that instead of supporting Senator Mcain, who is taking over from Bush if the republicans win, he starts to support Obama, a man from a different party. As long as he remains in Kenya, the Kenyan politicians will continue to suffer in his hands because he uses the might of his country and money to supress Kenyan leaders. Since whedn have Kenyans heard a Kenyan ambassador in the US say a word and yet this Ranneberger man is talking all the time all over Kenya. (Source)

Kenyan Muslims Demand Obama’s Cousin Raila Odinga Keep His Promises

From February 2008…

The secret details of the high-level meetings US Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice held with President Kibaki and ODM leader Raila Odinga in her few hours of diplomacy in Nairobi can be revealed today.
[...]

On the basis of the information gathered since the disputed elections, Dr Rice is said to have delivered to President Kibaki and his team on the one side and to ODM leader Raila Odinga (man on right on photo) and his group on the other a three-fold message laying out the concerns of the United States and the international community.
[...]
The third issue was based purely on Washington’s concern over international terrorism. It is understood Dr Rice told the two sides that the US believed that should political instability take hold in Kenya, then terrorism would have found a new home.
[...]
Dr Rice reminded the government and ODM of America’s war on terror and the suspected Al Qaeda activities in the neighbouring Somalia which is struggling to establish a central government after 17 years of civil war.

I wonder, if at the time of her mission, that Rice was aware that Raila Odinga, Barack Obama’s cousin, had already made commitments to Kenyan muslims promising to thwart America’s efforts to prosecute terrorists, in addition to promising that he would help institute sharia law.

Even more sinister has been Mr. Odinga’s electoral pact with the National Muslim Leaders’ Forum — a hardline Islamist organization that represents Kenya’s Muslim minority. According to this document, dated August 29, 2007, Mr. Odinga promised the Muslim leaders that, if elected, he would establish Sharia courts, not only in the northern and coastal regions where Kenyan Muslims are concentrated, but throughout the country.

He also promised to impose Muslim dress codes on women, ban alcohol and pork, indoctrinate children, ban Christian preaching, and dismiss the Commissioner of Police “who has allowed himself to be used by heathens and Zionists.”

In short, Mr. Odinga in effect offered to Islamize Kenya in return for Muslim votes, despite the fact that Muslims make up only 10% of the population, compared to the 80% who are Christian. Mr. Odinga himself is nominally an Anglican, yet he signed a document that refers to Islam throughout as “the one true religion” and denigrates Christians as “worshippers of the cross.” (Source)

Well, it seems that the “National Muslim Leaders” intend to collect on all of Odinga’s promises. It sounds like they get their victim training from CAIR – some of this garbage comes straight from their handbook. How dare anyone accuse poor abused muslims of terror.

We would like to remind you, Honourable Prime Minister Sir, of the memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that you signed with Muslim leaders prior to the last general elections, where you committed yourself to stand as a beacon of hope in the face of injustice, and support institutions where ‘credible evidence’ and not ‘ethnicity’ was the barometer of guilt.

In particular we would like to draw your attention to clause (E)(b)(4) of the memorandum where you committed yourself to ‘specific action’ to protect the rights of marginalised groups in the country:

‘Specific action will include the setting up of a commission to inquire on deliberate schemes and actions of the government , its agencies or officers, to target or interfere with welfare and social well-being of Muslims in Kenya as citizens including renditioning of Kenyans to Somalia, Ethiopia and Guantanamo Bay. Such schemes and actions will be put to an end and public officers responsible for the same named and held to account .’

With the foregoing Mr. Prime Minister Sir, we would like to humbly pose the following questions to you:

• When will the government of Kenya bring back the deportees to be accorded justice in Kenyan jurisdiction as the constitution and laws of the land provide?

[...]
[ed note: violin playing, insert CAIR whine]
The Muslims are a community that has lived under the blinding glare of injustices, reaching the peak with the so called US war on terror, being forced to cower as foreign powers seek to convince the world of their righteousness and of the guilt of Muslims. Their moral superiority has been eroded dramatically as they blatantly flout the same rules that they have established to govern themselves, but which they feel Muslims are not worthy of. Hitherto hallowed fundamental human rights principles like adherence to the Rule of Law; Prohibition against Torture and Protection against Arbitrary Detention have been discarded on the wayside and left Muslims open to the arm of their tyranny.
[...]

Suffice it to say that your promise to deal with the whole issue of human rights violations in the guise of fighting terrorism and specifically the renditions endeared you to majority Muslim voters and defenders of human rights. We pray that you shall not be party to their feeling continuously let down even by the grand coalition government.
Letter by Muslim Human Rights Forum (MHRF) to THE PRIME MINISTER OF THE REPUBLIC OF KENYA RT. HON RAILA AMOLO ODINGA EGH, EBS MP (Friday June 05 2008)

Barack Obama Bad for Canada Too

Obama’s Vow Could Threaten Industry

– Barack Obama on Tuesday vowed he would break America’s addiction to “dirty, dwindling and dangerously expensive” oil if he is elected U.S. president — and one of his first targets might well be Canada’s oilsands.

A senior adviser to Obama’s campaign told reporters it’s an “open question” whether oil produced from northern Alberta’s oilsands fits with the Democratic candidate’s plan to shift the U.S. sharply away from consumption of carbon-intensive fossil fuels.

“If it turns out that those technologies don’t advance … and the only way to produce those resources would be at a significant penalty to climate change, then we don’t believe that those resources are going to be part of the long-term, are going to play a growing role in the long-term future,” said Jason Grumet, Obama’s senior energy adviser.
The remarks amount to a shot across the bow of Alberta’s oilsands industry, which is planning to boost production from 1.3 million barrels a day to 3.5 million barrels over the next decade.

The industry has come under sustained attack from U.S. environmentalists over the past year because the production of its heavy oil emits an estimated three times more greenhouse gases than conventional oil.

Barack Obama’s Muslim Family Featured on Al-Jazeera

Kenyans, and Africans in general, seem to have rather high expectations should Obama win the presidency. I’m sure Americans will be more than willing to foot the bill.

It is amazing that a country like Kenya, or any damn nation for that matter, dare to presume what America will do for them should Obama win. America does not belong to the world, but when you have a socialist running for office, the wolves lick their lips, scenting blood.

May Obama’s grandmother’s prayers die stillborn on her lips.

In Mombasa, the Council of Imams and Preachers of Kenya Organising Secretary, Sheikh Mohamed Khalifa, urged Obama to stick to his manifesto which has earned him wide support and to steer away from US President George W’ Bush’s “confrontational policies”.

“Apart from being close to Africa, we expect Obama to move away from confrontational policies and unite the US and the rest of the world if he finally wins the presidency,” Khalifa said.

ODM-Kenya nominated MP, Ms Shakila Abdalla, said Obama’s victory was an achievement for Kenyans and Africa.

“Because Obama has roots in Kenya, we expect the US and Kenya to forge close ties. We are praying for his victory in the presidential poll,” Shakila said.

And North Eastern Province on Wednesday took delight in Obama’s victory. The predominantly Muslim province came to the limelight during the primaries early this year when Obama’s rival, Mrs Hillary Clinton’s campaign team circulated pictures on the Internet of Obama in Somali traditional attire taken in Wajir.

An elder, Mr Mohammed Hassan Mumin, who was photographed dressing Obama during the senator’s visit to Wajir, said they were happy that Obama was a step away from the presidency.

Mr Maalim Hussein, a teacher at a Quranic school in Garissa, said: “He was a victim of smear campaigns from the Clintons for embracing our attire, but we kept praying for his success and we are celebrating today.”

He added: “We also pray that he becomes the next US president so that he can help our impoverished province and Africa.”

Mr Christopher Njoroge, who lives in Washington, Seattle, said on the telephone: “This is great victory. It is victory for all America that wants real change.”

And from Des Moines, Iowa, Ms Nancy Mwirotsi, a key Obama supporter and mobiliser in a State that gave Obama his first victory, shed tears.

“For me, Obama’s victory is not just about himself and his family, it is about many young Kenyans here who look up to him as their role model,” she said.(Source)
[ed:emphasis mine]

It seems that Kenyan expectations are well on their way to being met – on your dime. What are you paying for gas and groceries these days? Notice anything coming out of Obama’s mouth that bodes well for the American economy? Didn’t think so.

APA-Nairobi (Kenya) The United States government on Sunday pledged to give more than 1 billion shillings($15 million) towards the implementation of the coalition accord, as well as advancing reconciliation and reconstruction efforts.

APA-Nairobi (Kenya) United States will give Kenya $75 million in support of the grand coalition government formed between President Mwai Kibaki and Prime Minister Raila Odinga in February, US ambassador to Michael Ranneberger said on Thursday.

Addressing a press conference in Nairobi, he said the money will be granted to Kenya after the US Congress approves the funds.

He said the funds will be used for key reforms key including electoral, constitutional and land reforms.

Ranneberger said the funds are in addition to the $25 million already granted to resettle over 300,000 displaced persons left homeless following the post-poll violence triggered by December 27 presidential elections.

Black Muslims: The Enemy Within

From Planck’s Constant

Black Muslims a greater threat than al-Qaeda

March 9, 2006 — WASHINGTON – The head of Islamic chaplains in the New York City Department of Correction said in a recent speech that the “greatest terrorists in the world occupy the White House,” Jews control the media, and Muslims are being tortured in Manhattan jails.

The outlandish remarks were made by one of the city’s most prominent Islamic leaders, Imam Umar Abdul-Jalil, the executive director of ministerial services for the city Department of Correction. He spoke at a conference of Islamic leaders in Tucson, Ariz., and was secretly recorded by the counterterrorism organization The Investigative Project .

The recordings capture Abdul-Jalil – speaking at two separate symposiums on Islam in America held by the Muslim Students Association on April 15 and 16 last year – making incendiary charges and espousing extremist views. Abdul-Jalil, 56, who is also imam of the Masjid Sabur mosque in Harlem, initially denied making the comments – but later admitted to The Post that the tape was most likely accurate and said his words are being “taken out of context.”…

As I mentioned earlier in 17% of americans are ok with DPW ports deal my estimate is that 80% of blacks are anti-semitic; much of it due to propaganda like Leonard Jeffries identifies Jews as principal planners, financiers and organizers of the Atlantic slave trade and the rantings of the racist lunatic Louis Farrakhan^***.

Certainly, none of this should surprise us; we all recall Imam Intikab Habib, the FDNY Chaplain who resigned after expressing doubts about 9/11 and Imam Warith Deen Umar, the former chief Muslim chaplain barred from the state prison system, after it was reported he was expressing support for the 9/11 terrorists. Actually that last phrase in bold italics needs to be translated from media-speak and politically correct truthiness to actual statement of fact: after it was reported he was recruiting terrorists for al-Qaeda. More MSM white-wash at Michelle Malkin.

All Muslims are a threat to Western Civilization, but black Muslims are a greater threat by virtue of the fact that they do not even need to set up sleeper cells – they already live amongst us accepted as Americans!

And who do you think black muslims will be voting for?

Barack Obama Will Shackle America to the UN and Global Poverty

Barack Obama’s _amerikka bears no relation to the America of our founding fathers. As we approach the Fourth of July there sits on Capital Hill Hussein Obama’s Global Poverty Tax, a piece of legislation that makes a mockery of the Boston Tea Party and about every principle upon which this nation was founded.

Obama’s grand theme is to spread America’s wealth to the world’s poor, as the onetime community organizer from the streets of South Chicago goes global.

The species of hope that Barack Obama preaches is a first cousin of disappointment. He speaks to his followers as though they are victims, and it resonates with them because victimhood is a latent element of their collective self-image. Most of the younger ones in his audiences face historically unprecedented educational and vocational opportunities. Within the reasonable grasp of their individual initiatives is a future that is the envy of most of the world’s youth. Yet they look longingly for someone from the government to offer them hope.

He says, “It’s not too late to claim the American dream,” and they cheer wildly, and some even cry.

Don’t they know that the American dream isn’t a wish granted by a politician, or an entitlement from the government? Do they need a political seer to tell them what to hope for, and dream of, because they are unable to find it for themselves? (Source)

And that is how Obama weakens America. No, that’s how he eviscerates America’s very spine from her body. He summons forth from each citizen not the warrior, but the whiner, not the innovator, but the complainer, the wannabe dreamers with neither the will nor spine to capture their dreams on their own.

Can you imagine what this country would be like were America’s pioneers made of the same moth eaten material as Obama and his febrile supporters? They would have never made it inland from the east coast, let alone successfully execute a war against England and go on to building the greatest nation ever to be established on this planet. I can just see the Obama settlers waiting around for the government to build them a freaking road West and guarantee safe passage while they try to talk nice to some savage Indians (Yes, boys and girls, Indians could be very very nasty too) who just burned their houses down.

Obama supporters would not have had a Boston Tea Party, but a Boston Pity Party.

But let’s put aside the pilfering of our hard earned dollars by this glassy eyed socialist; “One estimate is 0.7% of gross national product, or an additional $845 billion over 13 years in addition to existing foreign aid expenditures.” Let’s look at the very real threat to American sovereignty that this travesty introduces.

These goals include a “standing peace force” (i.e. a U.N. standing army), a “U.N. Arms register” of all small arms and light weapons, “peace education” covering “all levels from preschool through university,” and “political control of the global economy.” The goals call for implementing all U.N. treaties that the United States has never ratified, all of which set up U.N. monitoring committees to compromise American sovereignty. (Virtual “Global Poverty Act” Tea Party)

and…

By adopting the Millennium goals in 2000, the U.N. escalated its demands to impose international taxes. Specifically, the Millennium called for a “currency transfer tax,” a “tax on the rental value of land and natural resources,” a “royalty on worldwide fossil energy projection — oil, natural gas, coal,” “fees for the commercial use of the oceans, fees for airplane use of the skies, fees for use of the electromagnetic spectrum, fees on foreign exchange transactions, and a tax on the carbon content of fuels.”

It doesn’t bother U.N. sycophants that most U.S. handouts go into the hands of corrupt dictators who hate us and vote against us in the U.N., and that only 30% of our foreign aid ever reaches the poor. U.N. bureaucrats accuse the U.S. of being “stingy” in its handouts to underdeveloped countries.

There is much more to the Millennium goals than merely extorting more money from U.S. taxpayers. The goals set forth a comprehensive plan to put the United States under U.N. global governance.Obama’s 0.7% Solution For Poverty Gets Pass From Senate Republicans

NRA: “We Look Forward to Showing Him ‘Bitter’,”

The Untold Story of Gun Confiscation After Katrina

The video you will see…is horrifying. The crimes committed against law-abiding gun owners are beyond comprehension. The arrogance of anti-gun politicians and government officials and their hate of freedom will churn your stomach.

The law is the law, the Constitution is the Constitution. If ONE local mayor or police chief can decide what the Second Amendment means, it opens the door to tyranny—where ANY mayor or police chief can say what the Second Amendment means.
[...]
New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin, Police Superintendent P. Eddie Compass unleashed a wave of confiscations with these chilling words:
“No one will be able to be armed. We will take all weapons. Only law enforcement will be allowed to have guns.”

Thousands of firearms were then confiscated from law-abiding gun owners. The police gave no paperwork or receipts for those guns. They just stormed in and seized them. (Source)

Thank God for the NRA. They can see right through Barack Obama.

NRA plans $40M fall blitz targeting Obama

“Our members understand that if Barack Obama is elected president, and he has support in the Senate to confirm anti-gun Supreme Court nominees, [the District of Columbia v. Heller decision] could be taken away from us in the future,” Chris Cox, head of the NRA’s political arm, told Politico.
The politically powerful gun rights group will split its message efforts between communicating with its 4 million members and the tens of millions more firearms owners across the country.

Money quote…

“We look forward to showing him ‘bitter,’” Cox said, referring to Obama’s statement this spring that some in rural America “cling” to guns and religion out of bitterness.

Obama’s Minions Suppress Free Speech

Comments Worth Quoting

It has always irritated me when the left says they will take America “back”. Back? They never, ever had it. What they want is to take America to hell.

LGF Comment

I come from a pretty moonbatty family and I can tell you first hand that most lefties think don’t care for outward signs of patriotism such as flying the flag, pledging allegiance or getting choked up during the National Anthem.

To the Left, the most patriotic thing an American can do is to work towards changing America into something which it has never been before.

Working to create a new and different America is their idea of patriotism, because the America that they love exists only in an imagined future, and not in our history.

And it is a future that will never come to pass if I have a damn thing to say about it.

Barack Hussein Obama: A Clear and Present Danger

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.

Uganda Citizens as United States Soldiers? Feel Safe Yet?

Touted as what is destined to be history’s president of firsts, Senator Barack Obama could be the first Commander in Chief to oversee a military force with foreign recruits?

Ugandans, who want a career in the United States military, can sign up at the annual convention of the Uganda North American Association (UNAA), scheduled to run between August 29 and August 31.
[...]
When Democrats took control of Congress, they promised to make increasing the size of the military one of their top legislative priorities in 2007.

While their incessant threats to withdraw troops from Iraq found media headlines, they’ve been working on increasing the size of the military with noncitizens.

They ought not defile the title of Commander-in-Chief by placing it in such close proximity to Barak Obama’s name. Be that as it may, this idea of having Ugandans serve with American men and women most emphatically defiles the United States military, not to even consider how it undermines our security. This reeks to high heaven of some pureed-brain, pentagon putz’s wet dreams of turning the US Military into some UN circus adjunct.

Analysts warning that a large number of noncitizens under arms could jeopardize national security, and the potential for rankling the courageous, all-volunteer American troops already serving their country, make foreign recruitment for the US military a hot topic.

I have a better idea. Let’s just let the Gitmo terrorists sign up. Screw a trial, screw 9.11. Let’s let bygones be bygones. Anyway, Cuba is closer than Uganda- it’s a bargain all the way around. I mean if this country is going to continue this suicidal march, by all means, let’s accelerate the pace.

While we are at it, let’s ship some Hamas in to guard our borders. I mean, why not? Half of America is ready to elect a Marxist puppet as president. What the hell will security matter once that nightmarish possibility steps into the daylight as reality?

Will Ugandans in the US military feel loyalty to the United States of America or to a president they see as a radical agent of change?

Most know about Obama’s ties to Kenya and that co-President Raila Odinga has claimed a tribal kinship with the Illinois senator.

Few realize the fever pitch of Obama support in Uganda, home of UFOs–Ugandans for Obama.

Part of the Eastern African region that could some day be included in the United States of Africa, some Ugandans and Kenyans see Obama as much the president of the United States of Africa as he would be the president of the United States of America.
Uganda People’s Congress communication chief Benson Ogwant Echonga said: “In Obama, we see a new America”.
Read it All…Will Obama be first Commander in Chief to oversee a military force with foreign recruits?

The only people who will be singing Kumbaya over a campfire one day will be the armies of our enemies, warming their hands around the blazing flames of America burning. And those would be about the only troops Barack Hussein Obama is well qualified to lead.

CAIR: It Ain’t Over Yet

Seventh Circuit Vacates Holy Land Foundation Opinion, Grants Rehearing

On June 16, the U.S. Seventh Circuit Court of Appeals vacated the opinion of a three-judge panel, rendered December 28, 2007, which overturned the landmark $156 million judgment against the Holy Land Foundation (HLF), other Islamic charities in the U.S., and an alleged Hamas fundraiser. The case arose out of the 1996 murder of David Boim, a 17-year-old American citizen, who was killed in a Hamas terrorist attack in the West Bank. David’s parents sued men who were directly involved in the murder; the Holy Land Foundation (HLF); the American Muslim Society, also known as the Islamic Association for Palestine (IAP); the Quranic Literacy Institute (QLI); the United Association for Studies and Research (UASR); Saleh, the alleged Hamas fundraiser; and others (see this summary judgement order from the first trial for the complete list). The June 16 decision will result in a rehearing of the case by the entire court in the near future, thus giving the Boim family a second chance at the appellate level.

I have less and less hope that this castrated government will rid this country of the Muslim Brotherhood, CAIR and all other islamic front groups. But at least there is this, small as it is. May they nail these bastards to the wall.

Yet Another America Hating Commie Endorses Barack Obama

Okay, so I was wrong… The most damaging endorsement possible for Obama isn’t from The Goracle.

From OneFreeKorea:

The Chosun Sinbo, the mouthpiece of North Korea’s Japanese front organization Chongryon and often for the North Korean regime itself, has announced its preference for Obama over McCain, whom it calls “a variant of Bush” and “nothing better than a scarecrow of neoconservatives,” which is a bit odd considering that the Bush Administration’s giveaway diplomacy is better for Kim Jong Il than even Clinton’s awful performance.

Kim Jong-Il, eh? “I velly pweased to endwoss Obama faw Amelica.
