Obama knows full well what he is doing. He is a communist. People need to wrap their minds around that dreadful fact. His supposed father was a communist, his mother, his white grandparents, his mentor Frank Marshall Davis, etc. He is doing what communists have always tried to do, which is destroy the United States. The man is a foreigner and not American in any way.
He is a bold faced liar, like all communist leaders, aided and abetted by the Pravda - like leftist Media. He is an ENEMY of this country, and we should never expect him to see the light, or change his policies in any way. He will continue to do everything possible to weaken and demoralize this country, all the while telling the people what they want to hear. That is why he has done nothing to help moderate the oil spill, for example, as he knows that he can use it to cause harm to our energy security.
He told us what he would do, and he is doing it.
Consider Elena Kagan. A rank hard left, AA unaccomplished lesbian victimhood monger nobody, is to be elevated to sit in judgement over us FOR LIFE, for no particular reason other than her communist world view, and her absolute commitment to destroying the Constitution. She is the worst possible type of person to sit on the Supreme Court; nothing but axes to grind in her queen size closet. In other words, she is exactly like Obama. Filth.
Obama has a socialist/communist and racist agenda, and believes he knows what he's doing, but like so many socialists/communists before him he really doesn't know what he is doing.
Take for example the USSR and it's leadership. They were convinced they knew what was best, and they kept making ‘5 year plans’ that were going to fix everything. Obviously, these plans never worked, but they kept believing that their way was the right way. Obama believes this way as well.
I agree with you that he is dangerous and an enemy of the traditional American way of life. That's because he doesn't believe in it. He likely thinks he is a visionary, and exceptionally bright. That's because he's the product of an academic culture that overvalues it's own knowledge and relevance.
