Barack Obama is the most antibusiness president in a generation, perhaps in American history. Thanks to him the era of big government is back. Obama runs up taxpayer debt not in the billions but in the trillions. He has expanded the federal government's control over home mortgages, investment banking, health care, autos and energy. The Standard summarizes Obama's approach as omnipotence at home, impotence abroad.
The President's actions are so bizarre that they mystify his critics and supporters alike. Consider this headline from the Aug. 18, 2009 issue of the Wall Street Journal: "Obama Underwrites Offshore Drilling." Did you read that correctly? You did. The Administration supports offshore drilling--but drilling off the shores of Brazil. With Obama's backing, the U.S. Export-Import Bank offered $2 billion in loans and guarantees to Brazil's state-owned oil company Petrobras to finance exploration in the Basin near Rio de Janeiro--not so the oil ends up in the U.S. He is funding Brazilian exploration so that the oil can stay in Brazil.
More strange behavior: Obama's June 15, 2010 speech in response to the Gulf oil spill focused not on cleanup strategies but rather on the fact that Americans "consume more than 20% of the world's oil but have less than 2% of the world's resources." Obama railed on about "America's century-long addiction to fossil fuels." What does any of this have to do with the oil spill? Would the calamity have been less of a problem if America consumed a mere 10% of the world's resources?
The oddities go on and on. Obama's Administration has declared that even banks that want to repay their bailout money may be refused permission to do so. Only after the Obama team cleared a bank through the Fed's "stress test" was it eligible to give taxpayers their money back.

As I've been saying here on FR for 20 months - everything about Obama could have been known prior to 11/08. And, I've said it here on FR many times - it's not Dreams OF My Father - it's Dreams FROM My Father. Obama has an agenda, and he'll stop at nothing to exact it on the U.S. first...and then the world.

Right now he is probably thinking like the toad looking up at the headlights bearing down on him while he sits in the middle of the road all alone, blinking.
Barry’s central problem seems to be his deep-seated contempt for the American public. His words and actions consistently imply that some strata or another of the public needs to be punished, does not conform to his dictates or needs their rights and/or money confiscated. It’s bizarre that someone with his world view could stumble into the Presidency in Chauncey Gardner fashion with virtually no qualifications.
His father HATED America.
Not news ... and not short ... but an excellent read, if you missed it the first time.
True enough. However, I’m not even talking about his flesh-and-blood father.
A long article, but worth reading through.
This should be enough to finish him. The sad thing is that Communism and anti-colonialism have been instilled into many people by the Alinskiiites who run our public schools and universities.
So, maybe a third of the country could read this whole thing, understand what it says, and STILL support Obama. Because they have been brainwashed into suicidal ways of thinking.
Very lucid writing on a very opaque topic. Many thanks for posting.

“True enough. However, I’m not even talking about his flesh-and-blood father.”
Given what I’ve read, I’m not sure that we even know who that is, but it is true enough that the political beliefs were those of the “fathers” that he had in his lifetime and the anti-colonial views swirled with Marxism and Black Liberation theologies would certainly lead to the same conclusion ... that we have a man in the oval office who was brought up on a steady diet of loathing for the US.
What a crock of crapola. There didn't seem to be much pain on Obama senior's face when he was leaving his "family" in Hawaii and heading for the elitist enviornment at Harvard University, which ensured a live of privilege life in his own country.
There is a reason why his origins are mysterious.
This is an excellent, and actually ground-breaking, article.
Anticolonialism. It explains everything.
