[from pg 2 of 2] Barack Obama received at least some instruction in the Islamic faith of his father and went with him to the mosque, but the importance of this experience is vastly overstated by conservative commentators who seek to portray Obama as a Muslim of sorts. Radical anti-Americanism, rather than Islam, was the reigning faith in the Dunham household. ...
Barack Obama is a clever fellow who imbibed hatred of America with his mother's milk, but worked his way up the elite ladder of education and career. He shares the resentment of Muslims against the encroachment of American culture, although not their religion. He has the empathetic skill set of an anthropologist who lives with his subjects, learns their language, and elicits their hopes and fears while remaining at emotional distance. That is, he is the political equivalent of a sociopath. The difference is that he is practicing not on a primitive tribe but on the population of the United States.
There is nothing mysterious about Obama's methods. "A demagogue tries to sound as stupid as his audience so that they will think they are as clever as he is," wrote Karl Krauss. Americans are the world's biggest suckers, and laugh at this weakness in their popular culture. Listening to Obama speak, Sinclair Lewis' cynical tent-revivalist Elmer Gantry comes to mind, or, even better, Tyrone Power's portrayal of a carnival mentalist in the 1947 film noire Nightmare Alley. The latter is available for instant viewing at Netflix, and highly recommended as an antidote to having felt uplifted by an Obama speech.

"Naivete" is a euphemism for Ann Dunham's motivation. Friends describe her as a "fellow traveler", that is, a communist sympathizer, from her youth, according to a March 27, 2007, Chicago Tribune report. -AsiaTimesOnline
For much more on the ObamaRats and the strong communist angle in all this, i.e. the one being largely ignored by both the left AND most of the right-wing media, particularly the more popular personalities like Sean Hannity, Rush Limbaugh, Laura Ingram, Bill O'Reilly, etc, please check out my FR Home page. Thanks.

I personally think she looks like a young Caroline Kennedy.
What does that have to do with anything?
interesting article. gracias.
>>>Michelle Obama speaks with greater warmth of her mother-in-law than of her husband. “She was kind of a dreamer, his mother,” Michelle Obama was quoted in the January 25 Boston Globe. “She wanted the world to be open to her and her children. And as a result of her naivete, sometimes 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.”<<<
Tries to sound stupid? Could have fooled me. He has perfected it to an art. Or could it be that he just naturally sounds stupid?
Perhaps the famous Kennedy sperm was implanted
THE EVIDENCE IS OVERWHELMING:

LOL! You're right. They should have said he tries to sound *even more* stupid than he really is. Obviously, to be so 'out there' on the far left, one must be very stupid indeed. Or just outright nuts!
He certainly has her chin, doesn’t he?
After watching the FNC special about "Uh"bama the other night, my wife comes up to me and says, "I felt like I was watching a bio on Ted Bundy."
If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.
Barack Obama is a windblown politician. The junior Illinois senator avoids anchoring himself to any principle, least his political sails fail to catch the slightest breeze.
His political direction is always tentative.
The MSM is already about 80% as deceitful as Pravda. It is simply amazing how the perceptions of the many Americans are distorted by the journalistic elite.
Keep on FReepin’
There is much work to be done.
You're dang right about that! The guy is a radical leftist, not a Muslim fanatic. The two ideologies are worlds apart, except in their joint hatred of freedom and Western-style democracy. Black Liberation Theology, like Liberation Theology before it, is a violent Marxist-revolutionary ideology.
Obama was the classic “red diaper baby.” I wonder if David Horowitz has given a written analysis of Obama. I would love to see it if he has. He has such a clear and complete view of the world in which Obama grew up.
This is an interesting quote from page one of the piece:
“Spouses do not necessarily share their likes, but they must have their hatreds in common.”
Give me a break, mom was on food stamps while living at home with her mom and pop pursuing a masters degree. Food stamps aren't a sign of naivete, rather the awareness of and willingness to scam the government.
Good analysis of the Messiah. Rings true. Thanks for posting.
She got her chin and jawline from her father. Obama looks alot like him too.
