It works out that US President Barack Obama is a man of heartfelt, long-held principles. It also works out that his principles are divorced from reality and unresponsive to any facts that contradict them.
This much was made clear by a New York Times report on Sunday which discussed a recently "rediscovered" 1983 article Obama published in a student magazine on the subject of nuclear disarmament when he was an undergraduate at Columbia University.
Obama's article, "Breaking the war mentality," was ostensibly a feature story showcasing two student organizations that advocated a freeze in the US's nuclear arsenal. But the young Obama didn't hesitate to use his platform to make his own, even more radical views known to his readers....
Since entering office seven long months ago, Obama has demonstrated that his guiding philosophy for foreign affairs is that the US and its allies are to blame for their adversaries' hostility toward them. All that needs to happen for peace to break out throughout the world is for the US and its allies to quit clinging to their guns and religions and start apologizing for their rudeness. In furtherance of this goal, Obama has devoted himself to putting the screws on US allies, slashing America's defense budget and embarking on a worldwide tour apologizing to US adversaries.
The basic reality that the US is being led by a radical ideologue who clings to his views in the face of overwhelming proof of their falsity is the most fundamental fact that world leaders must reckon with today as they formulate policies to contend with the Obama administration.

I am amazed the American Military still follows his Orders!
So he was a “useful idiot” as far back as ‘83.
Why am I not surprised?
well, seems his agenda was set a long time ago.... destruction of the USA.... what a jerk!
all his policies make sense when viewed from the angle of
“what would destroy America and American capitalism?”
Well, it would’ve been nice if this curious little piece of the Obomination’s past had been made public sooner?
But, as I am having a pointedly cynical day, I conclude it wouldn’t have mattered. The folks I saw embracing Obomba aren’t exactly carrying around a heavy reputation for intellectual prowess.
How was this article discovered? I thought all evidence of zero's academic performance were forever sealed from public view...his grades, his classes, his associates, etc, etc. I wouldn't be surprised to see zero sue the reporters of this article for copyright violations. All a result of the 0bama "transparency" pledge of course.
For those who are interested, you can find it HERE.
Better save a copy. It might not be around for long.
