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

ALL of ALL of TV, Hollywood and the media are 100% behind our Islamic Mugabe.

Keep watching TV sheeple cause your cable and sat TV bills are your ticket to slavery and dhimini-hood.

The Saudi shareholders and joint venture partners in News Corp/Fox, TW/CNN, Disney/ABC, GE/MSNBC/NBC/CNBC, Bloomberg thank you.

“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?”

Aren’t Africans in charge of their country now? How is that working out?/s

0bama despises us. Us. I think he’s revolted by the very nation that has made him and his wife rich as all get out.

We don’t know his origins really. We’ve not seen him with pix of his alleged grandmother Dunham, except for one here and there with him supposedly sitting on a bench between them. Where are the lunches, the people who would have known her in her later years, the pix with his own ‘mother’ Stanley Ann, etc., etc. Where are ANY pix of him in middle or high school, college and so forth?

For such an ego, you’d think such pictures and stories of friends and neighbors, his legal cases, letters and such would be plastered all over creation. Do we think his ‘library’ after he (perhaps) leaves office is going to be accessible by eyes-only individuals or something?

Actually no one really knows who slick Willie’s father was. I am not so sure about Obama either.

Oh, one more thing. Where is his mother buried? His father? His granddad? Frank Marshall Davis? Does anyone even know? His apartment at Occidental? New York? Harvard? Do they even have placques? Lease agreements in the historical record? County Halls of records? Old cars? High school rings? Scholastic society rings? School books?

It certainly caught my interest! Thanks, Mrs. Don-o, for the ping. Wow, milwguy, great article, thanks for posting. D’Souza does not disappoint. It is eerily on point, explains a lot. My head hurts, too, now...

Forbes Magazine has a writer that is Obama’s closest supporter, Forbes helped make him rich and he is a lousy money manager. This guy helped get Obama elected. This was the main reason I cancelled Forbes and will NEVER subscribe again.

Excellent. I usually stay away from armchair analysis.

This is spot on!

Underneath all of the layers that comprise Obama is envy, covetousness and hatred. You can hear the like-minded Michelle saying, "“The truth is, in order to get things like universal health care and a revamped education system, then someone is going to have to give up a piece of their pie so that someone else can have more.” or "I was never proud of America. It's very very important to get this man politically impotent by blocking his progress.

Chilling. Yet really exlains so much. Strange as it sounds I almost feel better because now I understand. Our instincts were right, but thanks to this article we’re no longer perplexed by the moves of this madman....and it shows this president is much worse than anyone could have ever imagined.....he needs to be gone so our country can be saved.

Obama never had a real job and his worthless old man was pretending to be an economist.
They can cry 'foul' all they wish but the fact remains that if one works hard, sacrifices a little, and never gives up, dreams, actual; tangible dreams, can be realized.
The main tenet of Obama, as passed down from the errant father, appears to be 'life's not fair, but I'm too lazy to do anything to improve my lot, so those who do work need to care for my needs'.
