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.
Well put. His whole life is pretense on several levels at the same time. So far he has got by learning how to put alien ideas into familiar language so that normal folk will accept them. He has always been a mouthpiece and a conduit for the ideas of others. Hence, the teleprompter he can never be without.
He hasn't done a day's work since he's been in office; he goes from speech to vacation to speech and on to another vacation. Other people write the bills and feed him the words he has to speak.
I agree that he is a strange amalgam of muslim, marxist, with layers of psychological problems on top of it all. But he can mimic normal well enough in public that as long as he doesn't have to think on his feet he can get by.
Sometimes I think back about GW Bush. He was always better when speaking straight from the heart than he ever was speaking from a teleprompter. I didn't agree with a lot of his policies but he was and is a genuine human being.
Watching some of the video clips of Bush from this weekend remind me of what a genuinely decent man he was, mistakes warts and all.
