You’re right, it is a must-read. Probably the most insightful into understanding the WHY of what he is/does.

I “grok” your comments here. It is some scary manure, that’s for sure.

Obama is no such thing.

He knows exactly what he is doing amd knows the playing field quite well.

Such articles only serve to make him seem less dangerous (akin to the Nutty Professor etc...)

We've never had a president who is angry about everything but passionate about very little. We've never encountered a president who hasn't bonded to his own country.

Great article, great quote.

You couldn't be more wrong. It is one of the most insightful articles I have read about Obama. He is a narcissist and a sociopath. He was abandoned by both his father and his mother. He feels like an outsider in his "own" country. His is a very angry person.

I have seen similar cases among Americans who have lived their formative years abroad. I say that from the perspective of having lived 25 years of my adult life abroad in nine different countries.

But, it’s not his own country. He is the odd man out.

“O”s a cipher-I wonder how he can keep a straight face. In fact, sometimes it seems like he really is smirking.

Obama has the instincts of a tin-pot dictator from a banana- republic. He has never known anything more about America than that it has about 57 states. Why we have a man still in office with the name Hussein is a mystery and an embarrassment.

Obama is not “angry” - he has enjoyed too many privileges to be “angry”.

Obama is cunning and uses the illusion of the “angry young man” to cause us to “forgive” his youthful transgressions and to sympathize.

Look behind the curtain ...

There is another truly sad implication of the idea expressed in this piece. It is this:

- by decades of neglect of passing on the core ideas and principles of liberty enshrined in our nation's Declaration of Independence and incorporated in the structuring of government by the Founders' Constitution, we have created generations of "strangers" who were born in America's heartland, brought up in its churches and schools, and are only now beginning to appreciate the liberty they inherited as their birthright--because they sense that it is being taken from them.

It is time for a rediscovery of the ideas of liberty which made America a place of refuge for oppressed peoples from all over the world for over 200 years! We are not strangers in a strange land. We are citizens of a place founded on a set of ideas which placed "We, the People" and our Constitution for self-government over all elected officials, and all under the care of a "Divine Providence" and "Sovereign Ruler of the Universe." (See Declaration of Independence and Madison's writings).

Over the course of the better part of last year I was on the fence as to whether Obama was devious or bordering on imbecilic. I'm convinced at this point that he knows EXACTLY what he's doing and he is most definitely trying to destroy America from within.

Obama is not “angry” - he has enjoyed too many privileges to be “angry”.

He doesn't view them as privleges, but rights. He is angry because his father abandoned him. His mother moved out of the country and married a foreigner who adopted him. He lived four of his most formative years in an alien culture and then he was shipped back to his grandparents to raise him. In both Occidental and Columbia, his roommates were foreign students. He is biracial making his sense of personal identity difficult.,

Obama is very angry and he used that anger as an agigtator and community organizer who was constantly battling against the establishment. His associations with other angry people like Reverend Wright, Bill Ayers, Farakhan, etc. are evidence of that anger. And his wife is also an angry person witness her senior thesis at Princeton and her statement about finally being proud of this country.

Obama is cunning and uses the illusion of the “angry young man” to cause us to “forgive” his youthful transgressions and to sympathize.

Nonsense. The quote from the article says it all, "We've never had a president who is angry about everything but passionate about very little. We've never encountered a president who hasn't bonded to his own country." Obama's "cool" and unemotional mien reflect his detachment and lack of involvement so typical of sociopaths.

I agree, Obama has had an extensive education in leftist politics, far more extensive than any normal person outside of the political realm. He knows exactly what he’s trying to achieve, whether he succeeds or fails is up to us.

Our country has undergone a major demographic upheaval since the 1965 Immigration Act. The U.S. adds one international migrant (net) every 34 seconds. Immigrants account for one in 8 U.S. residents, the highest level in more than 80 years. In 1970 it was one in 21; in 1980 it was one in 16; and in 1990 it was one in 13. In a decade, it will be one in 7, the highest it has been in our history. And by 2050, one in 5 residents of the U.S. will be foreign-born.

It is very difficult to maintain a national identity and shared sense of endeavor when you have a Balkanized society based on multiculturalism and diversity. The values and vision of our Founders are not shared by many of the residents of this country. And it is only going to get worse.

I am an American but I was born in France. Since Obama took office, I met so many not born American who are as outraged and disgussed and sad as I am to see this fantactic country sold to nutjobs communists, with the help of half the American people.

My point is to make you understand that often, lately, I, WE, feel being more American that half of the American who voted for obama, an obvious America hater. So not all the emigrants are America's hater.

I wish and pray every day for this country that I love so much to see it go back the our Founding Fathers principles and to follow the Constitution that made all of us come here because that was the only country in the world where FREEDOM meant somethig.

So please, understand that not all of us are mexican America haters. We are here because we love this country with all our hearts and we cry to see what's happening to Her. Because of brain deads AMERICAN voters. American people ARE the one who voted for Obama so if he is there it is because of the voters. Never forget that.

I think it tells part of the story. Certainly not all of it, or even half of it.

People can be both evil and stupid. He definitely knows he’s destroying America and is doing it on purpose, but I am 100% sure he will lose, and hopefully everything he has signed, hired, and appointed will become null and void, once his past and his citizenship status become revealed.
