What Color is Obama?
The American Thinker Blog ^ | May 03, 2011 | Peter Landesman

Posted on 05/03/2011 2:23:16 AM PDT by Scanian

There are many misguided souls who think President Obama is a a green environmentalist because he strives to limit offshore drilling and to halt the building of coal power plants. However, Obama's recent actions have shown that his motivation is not to protect nature's health and beauty.

Sometimes in physics two different theories can explain the same observations. If an experiment is found that only one of the theories predicts, that theory is deemed superior.

Two theories explain Obama's effort to limit domestic production of hydrocarbons. The first possible explanation for this effort is that Obama is an environmentalist. He wants to keep our air clean and our beaches pristine. The second is that the President is a redistributionist. He wants to transfer American wealth overseas to poorer countries by forcing the United States to buy expensive foreign oil.

Which rationale explains Obama's recent massive 3 billion dollar loan (through the U.S. Export-Import Bank ) to Ecopetrol, the Colombian national oil company, to expand its refining operation and the 2 billion dollar loan to Brazil's state-owned Petrobras Oil Company?

The environmentalist theory does not account for this largess because apparently Obama does not care about the possibility of seagulls covered in oil and poisoned fish in Columbia or Brazil.

However, the redistributionist theory is superior and clarifies Obama's motivation behind these generous loans. Since the United States is being prevented from developing its hydrocarbon supplies, we will have to buy ever more costly oil and gas from Brazil and Columbia. As Obama noted after his meeting with Brazilian President Dilma Rousseff, "We want to help with technology and support to develop these oil reserves safely, and when you're ready to start selling, we want to be one of your best customers."

Given the intensity of Obama's desire to redistribute wealth in the United States, it is not surprising that redistributing wealth internationally is a fundamental goal of his foreign policy. This was also one of the aims of the recent defunct international climate conference.

The two loans to the South American countries are the beginning of a pattern to transfer wealth abroad regardless of the effect on environment. If Obama keeps doing this, Obama President of the United States will have no serious opposition, like George Washington, in his quest to be Obama President of the New World Government. But don't be fooled: a Green, Obama is not.

The writer mentions environmentalism and redistributionism.

How about "destroy America-ism?"

Obama is a malignant narcissistic chameleon.

He will assume any color, shape, or form required to dominate.

He is a small man, and that reality is becoming obvious.

OK, he's green on the outside, red on the inside, like a watermelon.

Vaqn Jones describes what he and his ilk are about...

Van Jones links "Green Movement" to revolutionary communist movement!

See "Goal is complete revolution" below...

VAN JONES (Obama's former 'Green Jobs Czar'):

YouTube:
"Valerie Jarrett, Senior Advisor to President Obama, speaks [lovingly] about Green Job Czar, Van Jones, at the Netroots Convention on August 12, 2009. Then Van Jones speaks about [a COMMUNIST] transforming [of] the whole society."

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TnDxzvc0OXk&feature=related
_________________________________________________

"Jones was the leader and founder of a radical group, the communist revolutionary organization Standing Together to Organize a Revolutionary Movement, or STORM. That group, together with Jones' Elle Baker Center for Human Rights, led a vigil Sept. 12, 2001, at Snow Park in Oakland, Calif.

STORM's official manifesto, titled, "Reclaiming Revolution," surfaced on the Internet."--via TheObamaFile

VAN JONES SHOCK ADMISSION [in his own words]: "Goal is Complete Revolution"

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fh4Z0V0zNQg
_________________________________________________

Here is the transcript of the above YouTube video:

“Right after Rosa Parks refused to give up her seat if the civil rights leaders had jumped out and said OK now we want reparations for Slavery, we want redistribution of all the wealth, and we want to legalize mixed marriages. If we’d come out with a maximum program the very next day, they’d been laughed at. Instead they came out with a very minimum. “We just want to integrate these busses…”

But, inside that minimum demand was a very radical kernel that eventually meant that from 1964 to 1968 complete revolution was on the table for this country.

And, I think that this green movement has to pursue those same steps and stages.

Right now we say we want to move from suicidal gray capitalism to something eco-capitalism where at least we’re not fast-tracking the destruction of the whole planet. Will that be enough? No, it won’t be enough. We want to go beyond the systems of exploitation and oppression all together. But, that’s a process and I think that’s what’s great about the movement that is beginning to emerge is that the CRISIS is so severe in terms of joblessness, violence and now ecological threats that people are willing to be both pragmatic and visionary.

So the green economy will start off as a small subset and we are going to push it and push it and push it until it becomes the engine for transforming the whole society.

Here's the original source for the Van Jones quote about the time he spent in jail following the Rodney King/LA riots (Jones was arrested in "peaceful" protests in San Fran). It was in a 2005 interview he did with East Bay Express. They of course (what else?) claim he "renounced his rowdy Black Nationalist ways" since then (yet he's calling for "complete revolution" in Aug 2009! ...see above):

But in jail, he said, "I met all these young radical people of color -- I mean really radical, communists and anarchists. And it was, like, 'This is what I need to be a part of.'" Although he already had a plane ticket, he decided to stay in San Francisco. "I spent the next ten years of my life working with a lot of those people I met in jail, trying to be a revolutionary." In the months that followed, he let go of any lingering thoughts that he might fit in with the status quo. "I was a rowdy nationalist on April 28th, and then the verdicts came down on April 29th," he said. "By August, I was a communist."

"Octaroon" in Fresno.

One black parent and one white parent does not make one an octaroon or even a quadroon (one black and three white grandparents).

Technically, yes, given the Latin declensions with "octo" meaning "eight." However, the colloquialization (misapplication) of the term over time finds "octaroon" being used interchangeably (if incorrectly) with "mulatto."

For good or ill, it's one of the unavoidable realities of the Liberal dumbing-down of America over the past nine decades.

I stand behind my geographically justified comical reply.

By the way, you and I go back to almost the very beginning of FR. I remember posting with you and A+Bert back in late '97, early 98... back when I was "JimGib".

There is no difference in color. The environmental movement was hijacked by the communists decades ago. ‘Green is the new red’ is a very apt term.

“red bone” used to be popular in GA and AL. Probably too un-PC now. Plus I think they have to have reddish hair.

Many of those who proclaim themselves to be environmentalists are no such thing. They are using people’s natural concern about keeping a clean environment to push socialism, and have been doing so for decades. It’s pretty much the case with any worthwhile endeavor; to the socialists, it’s just another tool to advance socialism.

According to the picture below, I'd say he's a blend of Pantone 7514 through 7516.
