To: The Raven
I saw the article on the 'Kenyan Anti-Colonialism' stuff the other day, and it's plausible but I don't think it ends there. He may have gotten the sentiment from his father, but Nobama is now on a Carteresque trajectory infused with the kind of liberal pap that only a Columbia education could perfect in a good little Marxist such as himself.
And I remember reading somewhere that Nobama said (either in one of his books or an interview or both) that his political views were formed in the 80's, and that he vowed that if he ever got into a position of power he would work tirelessly to 'reverse everything Ronald Reagan had ever done.' Something like that.
Clinton was a genius with triangulation (a scumbag, but a political genius scumbag). Nobama can only play one tune. So I don't think he could bring himself to do what's right for the economy and for liberty's sake, short of actual impeachment (and merely threatening it would not work), and I think it's more than just the Kenyan influence -- he really believes his own tauroscatology...;-))

I think there are several disturbing threads & reasons to 0's strangeness, dangerous political obtuseness, left wing radicalism, and odd laziness & thin skinned-ness. They can be at play at different times and in varying combinations.
If he were still at Chicago Law school, few of us would know about them.
But unfortunately some of his "history" is what propelled him further, and attracted a cult like following to help him get where he is.
It's all bizarre, totally bizarre and makes my head hurt too much .
