“I’m not sure how much his psychology matters. He’s a puppet.”
If what you say is true, and I believe you’re RIGHT, then couldn’t the “anticolonial/anticapitalist” psychology behind Obama’s motives overlap the same motives in Soros, Pelosi, Reid, etc?
In other words, look at the ENTIRE CAST of characters (Anita Dunn; Van Jones; Bill Ayers). They all have this common thread.
I don’t care if Obama is personally steering the ship and making every single decision (I don’t think he is). But Soros and the other socialists, the entire team, seem to share the motives detailed in the FORBES article, and thus, it sheds light on their misguided beliefs.
More like they are just using Colonialism, Marxism, Communism and Racism for their own personal profit and enhanced power structure. Power and Money.
Good point.
I think Obama is a strange combination of tool and Frankenstein’s monster. I think Ayers and the radical leftist gang are the people immediately calling the shots, but the more general program probably filters down from Soros and others. However, the problem is that now that they have a theater for their ideas, a place where they can really act them out, these ideas aren’t working, and I think a bit of panic is setting in.
As for Obama, he is not very smart and didn’t come up with any ideas of his own. But what he is more than anything is power crazy, full of resentment and personal nuttiness and ruthless. He was the perfect person to carry out the “dreams” of others.
But now that things are clearly not working, I think he’s getting annoyed and he’s going to go off on his own. I’m not sure that his handlers are cheering his lurch towards Islam (which actually started early on, but they probably just thought it was a tiny eccentricity that they could deal with) and I think some of them may even be a little alarmed by this. But he’s rolling along on his own now, he’s getting increasingly angry - and he is completely out of their control.
I have always felt that he really had his eye on something “bigger” than the US - that is, some international, global position. So if we’re lucky he’ll run off to be UN Secy General or Caliph of the Universe and leave us alone...well, no, because he won’t do that until he has destroyed us and can leave us as a smoldering, impoverished, Islamicized wasteland.
