How Obama Thinks. -- "Incredibly, the U.S. is being ruled according to the dreams of a Luo tribesman of the 1950s."


"America today is governed by a ghost."

Colonialism today is a dead issue. No one cares about it except the man in the White House. He is the last anticolonial. Emerging market economies such as China, India, Chile and Indonesia have solved the problem of backwardness; they are exploiting their labor advantage and growing much faster than the U.S. If America is going to remain on top, we have to compete in an increasingly tough environment.

But instead of readying us for the challenge, our President is trapped in his father's time machine. Incredibly, the U.S. is being ruled according to the dreams of a Luo tribesman of the 1950s. This philandering, inebriated African socialist, who raged against the world for denying him the realization of his anticolonial ambitions, is now setting the nation's agenda through the reincarnation of his dreams in his son. The son makes it happen, but he candidly admits he is only living out his father's dream. The invisible father provides the inspiration, and the son dutifully gets the job done. America today is governed by a ghost.

"Rejecting the socialist formula, Obama has shown no intention to nationalize the investment banks or the health sector."

How OLD is this article?
Also, Obama doesn't give a fig about the carbon, as D'Souza says. He cares about making fuel so expensive that the mobility of the American (I almost said Western, as the author did, but it's aimed directly at US) people declines. A mobile people is a freer people.
Algore's core philosophy too.
The administration funding Mexico's PEMEX with a billion dollars to drill in the Gulf while imposing a moratorium on American companies doing it... all about destrying the American economy and transfering the wealth to underdeveloped countries FASTER than American aid, the most generous in the world, would do it.
He and his (dwindling) supporters, including the NAACP, don't want equality, they want payback and punitive poverty.

Seventy-five vacant seats at Obama appearance. High school students recruited by staff to fill them to avoid embarrassment.

The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Thursday shows that 23% of the nation's voters Strongly Approve of the way that Barack Obama is performing his role as president. Forty-seven percent (47%) Strongly Disapprove, giving Obama a Presidential Approval Index rating of -24.

OK, I read the original article. It is a terribly sobering read. It also explains Obama very well.

Thanks, Dutchman, for pointing me to this amazingly insightful article. Obama's actions are much more nearly understandable when viewed in the context of D'Sousa's writing.

This article is an absolutely must read. I read both of Obama's books before the election. They scared the hell out of me. Years from now we'll read "Dreams from My Father" just as after WWII we read "Mein Kampf" to understand what happened. Just like Hitler, Obama let us know what was coming.

One of the commenters there made a reference (without remembering her name) to Baldilocks, as she used to call herself on the 'Net. She too, is a half-Luo, and I believe her Dad arrived here on the same airplane with Obama's Dad.

She, however, is a whole-hearted American, a retired Sergeant in the USAF who takes her oath to the Constitution seriously. Her name is Juliette Ochieng, and I think she blogs as "Half-Luo."

She has established a fund to provide for a school in the Won's Dad's home town, which the Won does not seem to care about.

This articles goes a long way toward establishing Dinesh D'Souza as India's answer to Thomas Sowell.

Both men are high-powered conservative thinkers and well worth reading at every opportunity.

Obongo and Gore, et al, long for a future in which American peasants sit around cow0turd fires cooking rabbits or rats or an occasional potato, eating government supplied, maggot infested rice as a side dish, while the elites feast on Kobe steaks, freshly flown in mahi-mahi and caviar and muse over the quaint beliefs of the hoi-polloi.

But other 'ghosts' are also aborad... those of the likes of Patrick Henry, Francis Marion, and Jack Hinson.

According to World Net Daily, Obama Sr. did not arrive on the flight from Kenya to the U.S. on September 9, 1959. His name was not on the manifest and he was already studying at the University of Hawaii. The story about Obama Sr. arriving on the airlift of Kenyan students is an B.H. Obama fabrication.

I suspect that you are pretty much right on the money there. The problem is that elites such as they have absolutely no clue to the pyramid/web of technologies needed to sustain their desired lifestyles. If they kick the "hoi-polloi" back into the late 17th century their geese are well and truly cooked. Unless a large number of technicians and engineers are also kept in the club they, too, will lose 200 years' technology as well.

I personally expect that the revolution here will essentially trigger a collapse of our modern global civilization plunging everyone to a just-post-industrial-revolution technology level. Without the hoi-polloi they so despise to make their toys and maintain their toys, those toys will very quickly break down and become useless.

With the collapse of the national and global transportation web huge numbers of people (billions?) will die in the resulting famine and the plagues of formerly easy treated diseases that will occur. I hove no doubt that millions will survive but the majority of our species will not. I see no way that the for all intents and purposes parasitic elites will survive beyond the exhaustion of whatever stores they may have put back in their mink-carpeted hidey-holes. That's assuming that the armed hordes outside their bolt-holes do not break in, slaughter them and TAKE whatever stores they have.

Gonna get MEAN, people. Gonna get REAL MEAN.
