I came to this country as a 12 yr. old and as a result had great gaps in my “Americanism” that would not have been there had I been American born. I hope I’ve acquired the necessary knowledge over these latter years, and feel totally American in my soul. His dumbness about things American reflect his upbringing abroad (Indonesia). But he admits he can recite that Muslim call to prayer spot on! I personally feel he had no desire to assimilate...he can portray an American but I don’t think his soul is involved.
my dear dad came to the USA (legally) in his 20s many decades ago..... he knows more of US history, founding principles and documents, and real American values than this Obamanation will ever know.....
my dad also knows what it’s like as a boy to wake up one morning to Nazi bombers overhead, with one’s country being overwhelmed by Hitler’s invading armies, and he cherishes the USA, its principles and opportunities, like no pampered Obamanation ever will.....
that’s one of the strangest and most inaccurate aspects of all the race/gender/class fanatics like Obambi nowadays — they think they have it so rough and are so oppressed or are speaking for people so oppressed in the eviiiilll USA...... few of them (unless they are older than Obami or have really endured some of the worst govts and movements in the world) have any real first-hand experience of the worst aspects of human life -— yet every politically correct academic struts and preens and imagines being God’s gift to humanity
Exactly right. This is why I say, he may be a US citizen but he is no American. You are. You get it. Congratulations.
