Barry is a pawn, like the boll-weevil, just a lookin’ for a hooommme...
He unfortunately seems to charm lots of folks, but he is essentially a cold and self-obsessed sociopath. He has hitched his star to Bill Ayers’ 1960s revolution redux, and it’s playing out just fine for him.
Obama is not only a Marxist, he’s a particularly vicious type of Marxist. Think Lenin, Stalin and, eventually, Pol Pot. But his followers will love him and his Marxist Pygmalion, Bill Ayers, all the way to the gulag, as Stalin’s followers did.
I believed that Bill Clinton was a charming sociopath during his administration. Yet we saw, once he had the rug pulled out from under him when his Democrat house and senate was swept out of office, that Clinton was capable of pragmatism. He didn't necessarily want to tear down and reconstruct America. No, he was blessed with a temporary pause (relatively speaking) in world hostilities and an economic boom cycle. So, Slick decided to “let the good times roll”. Made his job easier, and left him with time to chase skirts.
Obama is also a sociopath, but Obama’s not glib. He's charming, in a Che Guevara sort of way, and ultimately, he's cold and humorless. The problem is that he has an underlying contempt for the way America is, he is not pragmatic, and he smells a future with unfettered power and authority. He's a soft tyrant. The question is just how soft.
