Who Is Obama?
American Thinker.com ^ | April 24, 2017 | David Solway

Posted on 04/24/2017 11:01:22 AM PDT by Kaslin

Ex-President Barack Obama is the mystery man of American politics. Given the absence of a viable paper trail, nobody can say for sure who he is. He manifests for us as a figure of multiple identities: a Christian, a Muslim, a secularist, a socialist, a humanist, an intellectual, a man of the people. His lack of definable substance, his inner absence, has been an important political advantage. As Obama himself confessed (or boasted) in The Audacity of Hope, this layering of anonymities enabled him to “serve as a blank screen on which people of vastly different political stripes project their own views.”

Obama’s enigmatic personae and antecedents are an issue most people are reluctant to pursue, whether out of mere indifference, partisan allegiance or fear of ridicule. Even though he represents one of the most pivotal moments in American history, which saw a polarizing cipher with a neo-Marxist blueprint reduce the country to a social, political and economic shambles, Obama doesn’t get much traction in the news these days. Few wish to investigate his shadowy heritage, to confront the ongoing implications of the debacle he was instrumental in causing or to pursue its resolution. The unwillingness to grapple with what Obama signifies -- in fact, personifies -- is a sign of the failure of political will, a tendency to allow a crucial feature of national existence to subside beneath the welter of current events. “Nothing to see here,” seems to be the consensus, “time to move on.”

Who is Obama? Ask Larry Sinclair. Ask the mother of slain choir director Donald Young. They may know.

Read his autobiography. He makes it pretty clear.

Obama and Hillary carefully placed their crime detail into positions of government. They need to be rooted out. Although, I believe that they are so well grafted in that it will take a miracle to uproot them all.

The last time someone tried to do any "uprooting" were the Kennedy brothers and they both got shot and killed for their effort.

Obummer's televised "meeting" in Chicago this afternoon with a half-dozen nice, earnest college-age students, achievers all, was a total bore, filled with his usual tiresome buzz words that sound good, but are empty of any meaning, solutions, action....such as "dialogue", "diversity", "meaningful interaction", "mutual understanding", blah, blah.

His panel was composed of really nice young achievers, but they were starry-eyed acolytes all, sitting at the feet of Plato and/or Aristotle, and drinking in Obama's calm, smooth, low-key subtle, vacuuous, liberal, socialist, one-world views like they were coming down from Mount Olympus.

And, of course, among the required number of males and females acolytes, there was one black, one Latino, one Jewish, one white and a couple who were of uncertain origin heredity, probably middle-eastern or whatever. The perfect diversified blend!

We'll find out tonight what tack Obama is embarking on in his presidential after-life...but allow me to be the first to say that his future path will definitely be adopting the "elder statesman" role.

However, underneath this guise will be his usual innate Chicago street-pimping, community organizing schtick....and this "above-it-all" schtick of his will be played out in intellectual forums and elite salons on a more national and globalist scale rather than on the mean streets of Chicago, New York, LA or DC.

As me Irish grandmother would say....."may the Saints pre-saaaarve us from this man !"

Valerie Jarrett recently said she and the Obamas are focused on fostering the next generation of leaders. “He’s really interested in finding the Barack Obama 2.0s all across the country. He’s very interested, through the Obama center, to promote civic engagement.”

TRANSLATION: Get ready for another Clintonesque money machine.The Chicago criminals gonna do the Clinton Crime Family Hustle. They have no intentions of working for a living. The goal is get-rich-quick ala the Clintons.


EXCERPTED-—In recent months, Clinton Foundation director, Donna Shalala, said foundation officials have offered advice for former President Obama and his wife, Michelle, on their own foundation, which will focus on national and international community building programs.

“They called and asked some questions,” Ms. Shalala said.

GET READY FOR ANOTHER POLITICAL MONEY-MAKING MACHINE -—The Obamas already have two Clintonesque get-rich-quick foundations (two that we know of)....the mission statements sounding suspiciously like the Clintons.

President Obama said, “the change we seek will take longer than one term or one presidency. Real change—big change—takes many years and requires each generation to embrace the obligations and opportunities that come with the title of Citizen. “ (TRANSLATION: Me and Michelle want the money pouring in faster than we can spend it.)

FOUNDATION MISSION STATEMENT (cue laugh machine): The Obama Foundation will inspire the next generation of young leaders all over the world. It will convene the brightest minds with the newest ideas from across the political spectrum and draw strength from the rich diversity and vitality of Chicago, the city where the President and First Lady started a family and raised their daughters.

But most of all, the Foundation will ask all of us to take on big challenges and to believe that we can meet them together. Our history and President Obama’s legacy give us hope that even the most difficult change is possible, and the Foundation exists to carry on that great, unfinished project of renewal and global progress.”

Inform visitors about our civic rights and responsibilities and inspire citizens to get engaged.

Empower individuals who are leading change around the world, and help develop new ways to enable all citizens to take action.

Connect people from different communities and disciplines to create new approaches to solving our biggest challenges.

Translate new ideas into concrete actions that will have a measurable impact, enlisting partners across all sectors to scale what works.”

PLEASE PASS THE BARF BAGS.

The question that may exercise future historians is how a man so obviously unfit for the presidency and so patently inimical to the well-being of the nation could have been elected—twice. Was the race card in itself sufficiently instrumental to persuade a nation to embrace eight years of mayhem? Could a voting majority have been swept up in an access of reparation euphoria? Did John Dewey’s “progressivist” education gradually work to dumb down a significant portion of the electorate, rendering it ultimately susceptible to socialist manipulation? Was the influence of the Frankfurt School and its leftist agenda powerful enough to subvert the academy, the press, the entertainment industry and the culture at large, and thus to transform a free democratic society into a nascent authoritarian state? All these elements were certainly in play, but likely could not have borne their tainted fruit had Obama not appeared on the scene, like a diabolus ex machina. He acted as both catalyst and embodiment of a looming catastrophe.

This guy certainly loves his own writing.

Bottom line: people were so p.o.ed at Bush that they would have elected a yellow dog -- or even Hillary Clinton in 2008.

McCain, and then Romney didn't help things much.

Truth is, we know who he is. He is a killer who is a bisexual Marxist anti-American Kenyan.

Obama has no intention of ceding the shattered Democrat field to Hillary Clinton, to shape for her daughter. No, he has use for the rubes and the ashes. Remember that “Army” he talked about building, with the Greek columns as his backdrop?

Hillary is DONE. Stick a fork in her. She is no match for the golden boy, bankrolled by Soros.

It’s hard to believe we’ve had 100 days without listening to his inane pontificating.
