But I wonder whether he's Manchurian.
Perhaps this is not the proper way to attempt this little homily, but I think I may know the inner mind of the President. I have read "Dreams from my Father." Whether or not the President really wrote it, might be a moot point. He must have agreed to what was in that book.
I remember the hard scrabble years after WW2 in England as a working class lad. A secretary where I worked used to get the Saturday Evening Post sent from the States. There it was, the tranquil world of Norman Rockwell. It was a far off paradise to us.
Later, fools of young people rebelled against that world. Instead of taking off and going to some effete country and seeing just how others lived, they wanted to smash it. The mindless rotters who should have known better in the academic world encouraged this hatred. Anyone doubts this, read "A Singular Woman" by Janny Scott. The story of Stanley Ann Dunham.
She had everything going for her considering other young women of her era. A bit of a ramble and I should cut to the chase. The President has been suborned and corrupted in his youth by rotters who hate America. Rotters, who even yet, live far higher on the hog than Joe Six Pack. The joker who tramples the American flag and then calls the police if someone bugs him etc.
This will pass and America will survive any Manchurian. Or else the free world will take a tumble.
There is a possibility that the people who attempted to corrupt and suborn a young Barack Obama, have left a mark.
Rotters is such a good word.
Stanley Ann Dunham was a nanny. Well paid, no doubt.
