Obama stated that he is going to change the world, but first he has to change this country. I believe he is more of an International Socialist like Stalin than a National Socialist like Hitler.
The more I ponder his abilities/lack thereof, I suspect his placement has been to groom the black community into accepting a future merging of Canada, the US and Mexico.
Had a Hispanic/Latino come before the merging, a large political sentiment of resistance would remain in the black community.
Granted it’s lunatic fringe, but I suspect there do exist a lot of powerful people who would reason in that fashion to promote his Administration.
