How Obama Thinks (Best, most thorough article on Obama's pysche I have seen yet)
forbes ^ | 9/7/2010 | Dinesh D'Souza

Posted on 09/09/2010 7:41:16 AM PDT by milwguy

Obama Sr. was an economist, and in 1965 he published an important article in the East Africa Journal called "Problems Facing Our Socialism." Obama Sr. wasn't a doctrinaire socialist; rather, he saw state appropriation of wealth as a necessary means to achieve the anticolonial objective of taking resources away from the foreign looters and restoring them to the people of Africa. For Obama Sr. this was an issue of national autonomy. "Is it the African who owns this country? If he does, then why should he not control the economic means of growth in this country?"

As he put it, "We need to eliminate power structures that have been built through excessive accumulation so that not only a few individuals shall control a vast magnitude of resources as is the case now." The senior Obama proposed that the state confiscate private land and raise taxes with no upper limit. In fact, he insisted that "theoretically there is nothing that can stop the government from taxing 100% of income so long as the people get benefits from the government commensurate with their income which is taxed

Thanks for forwarding it. I had read it earlier, but I could just as well have missed it.

I was impressed as well.

Obama is a narcissist (like Clinton but without the charm) and a complete idiot.

I totally agree and I'll bet he has a Facebook page...

Facebook users 'are insecure, narcissistic and have low self-esteem'

Au contrarie, it all makes perfect rational sense - once you understand the axioms.
Thing is, these are not American axioms. They are 3rd-world African axioms, incompatible with our culture.

Thanks for the ping.

Incredibly, the U.S. is being ruled according to the dreams of a Luo tribesman of the 1950s. This philandering, inebriated African socialist, who raged against the world for denying him the realization of his anticolonial ambitions, is now setting the nation’s agenda through the reincarnation of his dreams in his son. The son makes it happen, but he candidly admits he is only living out his father’s dream. The invisible father provides the inspiration, and the son dutifully gets the job done. America today is governed by a ghost.

Think of the Unabomber as President and you’ll understand the phenomenon that is Obama.

Something tells me that Obama is going to be pissed off to see this in print.

It really does solidly, and for the FIRST time give Americans a true and accurate picture of the cretin they elected.

I can’t wait to see the back of that bastard.

It’s certainly not a given that a son adopts the beliefs of the father. Especially an absent father. But Obama grew up and had the same ideas confirmed to him in our own American universities, and the entire circle of people with which he was surrounded. I’m sure he not only belives this way, but instinctually assumes everyone does. He just thinks the people that say they don’t are lying, in order to get power and advantage.

“From a very young age and through his formative years, Obama learned to see America as a force for global domination and destruction.”

All the more reason to get rid of him!

It seems to fill in the cracks in trying to understand why he says/does things that make no sense. I think this is definitely a big piece of the puzzle.

Thanks for the ping. This essay is well worth the reading...and the re-reading.

As usual Desouza does not disappoint. This is the most compelling analysis of why obama hates the west, US and UK in particular, that I have yet read. Great article and very enlightening.
