All,
Thank for the comments and the kind words. I had emails today from three senior Reagan/Bush national security officials telling me that they are utterly aghast at the shambles of American policy. You don’t need a conspiracy theory to conclude that Obama hates America (I give no credence to the “Obama is a Muslim,” “Obama isn’t a US citizen,” etc. rumor mill). He identifies with the “victims” of globalization against the supposed Evil Empire, a/k/a USA.
The best thing that can happen is that the Republican-controlled House holds hearings to batter the Obama administration. My friend Lee Smith today rightly characterizes the Wikileaks cables as “the Pentagon Papers of the Right.” See www.tabletmag.com
>>The cables, in sum, reveal an American administration that refuses to look at the facts on the ground, even when friendly governments rub the noses of American diplomats into them.
How true.
And well demonstrated in those posting........more wikipee.

WikiLeaks cables: ‘Rude’ Prince Andrew shocks US ambassador
RUMOR MILL, hmmm???
Just keeping on sticking your head deeper in the sand!!!
In my view, Obama probably isn't a Muslim. More likely, he is an atheist -- like his mom -- but with pronounced Muslim sympathies.
Observe how his tone of voice changes when he is a.) addressing Muslims or b.) speaking of the Muslim world. All of sudden, real passion enters his voice -- a passion that is never expressed for the USA. Observe how rarely Michelle accompanies him on foreign trips -- on the same plane. She seems to accept that it is her role to "walk behind" her husband.
Strongly agree that he primarily identifies with the "victims", not necessarily of "globalization", but of "American imperialism". D'Souza's thesis seems quite sound to me.
Even if he was born in Hawaii, emotionally and spiritually, he's not an American at all.
