"Cherchez la femme," advised Alexander Dumas in: "When you want to uncover an unspecified secret, look for the woman." In the case of Barack Obama, we have two: his late mother, the went-native anthropologist Ann Dunham, and his rancorous wife Michelle. Obama's women reveal his secret: he hates America.

We know less about Senator Obama than about any prospective president in American history. His uplifting rhetoric is empty, as Hillary Clinton helplessly protests. His career bears no trace of his own character, not an article for the Harvard Law Review he edited, or a single piece of legislation. He appears to be an empty vessel filled with the wishful thinking of those around him. But there is a real Barack Obama. No man - least of all one abandoned in infancy by his father - can conceal the imprint of an impassioned mother, or the influence of a brilliant wife...

"...they lived on food stamps, because sometimes dreams don't pay the rent. But as a result of her naivete, Barack got to see the world like most of us don't in this country." How strong the ideological motivation must be of a mother to raise her children on the thin fair of government assistance in pursuit of a political agenda...

Be afraid - be very afraid. America is at a low point in its fortunes, and feeling sorry for itself. When Barack utters the word "hope", they instead hear, "handout". A cynic might translate the national motto, E pluribus unum, as "something for nothing". Now that the stock market and the housing market have failed to give Americans something for nothing, they want something for nothing from the government. The trouble is that he who gets something for nothing will earn every penny of it, twice over...

Perfect! I couldn’t think of the exact name of that entity. Barack Huessein Obama is the Twelfth Iman. Iamanutjob must be getting very excited indeed. Thank you!

They were the same when the were anit-war during the Vietnam War. They STILL don’t get it why most of the women left the “movement.”

Another great point. I was there in the sixties, and well remember the ugly sexist attitudes among New Left men toward the "chicks" and "old ladies". My sister is one of those who became disaffected from "the movement". She still gets furious about it.

I walked out of an anti-war meeting in college, and so did most of the women there, when a nutcase said, “all white women should be raped by a black man.” The other guys there CHEERED. The women were horrified, and when one objected, he told her to “shut up, or I’ll throw you through the window.” They started to discuss sex, no rape, and finally it was too much for me. I objected, and they said I was “uptight” about sex. I said, “this isn’t sex. No one is getting turned on.” I asked what women were there for anyway. The freak said, “women in the movement are to be f..cked, raped, kicked, and beaten.” I walked out, and so did most of the women, accompanied by their threats, and profanities. It was one of the turning points in my life. That RIGHT THERE was the end of my anti-war involvement, and in the Democratic Party, period. Everyone was aware of, but did not talc about the Kennedys abuse of women.
