Barack Obama's administration has clearly been a failure when it is seen through the eyes of the majority in America's business community. Some of you will knee-jerk so hard at that statement that you may not be ready for this next one...

Some have said that even without regard to BO's birth certificate he is still, somehow, 'foreign.' Someone said he needs to learn to be an American. To this statement some Obama supporters went ape-$hiπ crazy. It was as though he'd been called the N-word or something.

But that statement wasn't as much an accusation as it was a recognition and an assessment of Obama's core essence.

He is slightly different in his orientation and motivation and sensibilities than those who were born and RAISED exclusively in the United States.

And with that I present to you the missing link. The information that will help explain why he is so hostile to business and why he is so chummy with shady characters like felons, terrorists and revolutionaries of various sorts. This will help you understand why the GOP and the Romney supporters feel it is so important that Barack Obama be voted out of office.

The following was loosely transcribed from an interview from the Michael Medved radio show with the host and author, Dinesh D'Souza. His book, "The Roots of Obama's Rage" became the basis for his and Oscar winning producer, Gerald Molen's new documentary film, "2016: Obama's America."

In talking about one of Barack Obama's main influences D'Souza says that, as a young man, the future POTUS (B.O. admits this in the film) resolved to carry on for his father by taking up his father's dreams.

His ideals.

Barack Obama, Sr. was a 3rd world guy. He came of age in Kenya in the 50's and 60's when Kenya was becoming independent from the British. All throughout the 3rd world of Asia and Africa and South America the prevailing ideology was, loosely, anti-colonialism. By anti-colonialism we mean anti-Western. Many of these nations flung themselves into the Soviet orbit because they saw it as a way of opposing the West and became anti-capitalist. A lot of them flirted with one form or another of Socialism.

Even in my native country of India we had "Five Year Plans," modeled after the Soviet Union. Kenya went in the Socialist direction, also.

This is where Obama Sr. adopted the ideology, the core underlying premise of which is that wealth was not earned, but it's stolen. The West became richer by taking from the other countries. That people became successful but not by entrepreneurial creativity. Obama said this himself, 'you may work hard but everybody works hard' and that society creates wealth but then you entrepreneurs come along and skim that wealth off the top.
As I read and listen to more from D'Souza I will post it here. In the meantime, any of you within a reasonable distance from a theater showing the film can buy a ticket to, "2016: Obama's America."

Then join me here in helping remove this individual from the White House.

Are you serious Abe? Influences in his younger years have to be inevitably static and engraved into his belief system for the remainder of his life? You said you used to be liberal, so should it follow that you must be liberal now, despite your saying that you aren't?

This is evidence of nothing, except for your affinity towards incoherent conspiracy theories.


It's time to come out of the closet and confess to the fact you are a liberal, because you used to be. Out with it!

Your protestations aside, can't you see where this rationale I've posted would help explain some of the Obama positions and actions and proposed bills, policies and laws??? Don't you recognize how this all fits into his wretched performance in office?

Can't you imagine how someone like this is a veritable cancer on our govenment???

If not, it must be due to the fact that YOU are also a foreigner and know that Obama is too.

No. Your whole shtick remains wildly, completely and utterly incoherent to me, and I've tried very hard to understand things as you see them, because getting in your world sounds like fun. Alas, this comes across as all kinds of crazy to me.

If you really want to convince us that Obama sucks which is obviously your ultimate objective, maybe you should stick with methodologies that have some chance of success? You can never, ever prove or disprove Obama's intentions without mind reading abilities.


Wait, can you read minds? If so, what is David Bowie thinking of right now?

David is thinking how much Barack Obama has screwed up the United States in less than four years and how bad things will be in four more years if he isn't sent home to Chicago.

No shit, but the whole foreign argument of yours because of where Obama used to live is frankly pretty dumb, that's why I responded.

You can't figure out WHY my argument is 'pretty dumb' but you responded anyway? That is typical of a LIBERAL.

I think everybody should be required to live abroad for a certain amount of time (and I don't mean in exclaves like military bases).

It greatly enhances perspective and reduces The Stupid.

Hey, as far as Bad Kosh's argument goes, you can't criticize him. He's talking about what is best for AMERICA and why Obama isn't best for America's future or recent past.

A person can travel all around the world and yet not know what's best for America.

Like you.

Like Obama, the foreigner.

We're back on this stupidity again huh?

So what it makes you realize how much of an impact [even if it's only a month] that they have on you. But I think probably the most important thing was his absence I think contributed to me really wanting to be a good dad, you know? Because I think not having him there made me say to myself "you know what I want to make sure my girls feel like they've got somebody they can rely on.
So President Obama is "foreign" because one of his "main influences" is his Kenyan father who spent a grand total of one month with his son in his entire life? Riiiiiggggghhhttttt.

When I read this post I didn't pay attention to who wrote it. For some reason I thought it was from besson3c. But when I pondered the message I thought to myself, 'gee I thought besson3c was brighter than that.'

Then I looked and found out who'd actually posted it.

True story.

EDIT: I know how you might crawl out of your pit of ignorance. Try reading Obama's book, "Dreams From My Father." You'll see that my assertions are hitting close to the mark.

Or you could remain ignorant.

Yeah OAW, stop being so unbright! Just shut up and read the entire book so that you can make Abe's point for him, then you'll agree with him!

This earned you 10 points, but it also convinced us to restore the PWL ban. Huddler fixed it a few days ago.
