His mother, S. Ann Dunham Sorento, was a Kansas born girl, uprooted frequently by her restless Father who came to live in Hawaii. She hungered for romance and excitement in her life. She was rebellious of the vestments of that time and she did the unthinkable, she married out of her race. This was no small affront to a society who was dealing with the new paradigm of a more tolerant attitude toward social issues. She married the most controversial figure she could find, a married, foreign, muslin man who was black. Someone that could express her disdain of proper society. She seems to have passed this gene onto her son.
"She cried a lot," says her daughter Maya Soetoro-Ng, "if she saw animals being treated cruelly or children in the news or a sad movie—or if she felt like she wasn't being understood in a conversation." And yet she was fearless, says Soetoro-Ng. "She was very capable. She went out on the back of a motorcycle and did rigorous fieldwork. Her research was responsible and penetrating. She saw the heart of a problem, and she knew whom to hold accountable."It describes Obama perfectly, and explains some of his recent choices. Empathy and accountability. His choice of Sonia Sotomayor for the Supreme Court is almost Oedipal. His mother's empathy and accountability are firmly implanted in this woman who appears to have similar personality traits as Obama;s mother and if you squint your eyes really hard, even looks a little like Obama's mother.
Some of the greatest influences in Obama's early life were Leftist and Marxist. His early friendships and activities were that of a young man with an identity crisis. One of his strongest influences as a young man in Hawaii was a Communist, a poet, and an admitted pedophile, Frank Marshall Davis. Barak's white Grandfather introduced his grandson to Davis, who was black, when he[Barak] was 10 years old. Barak grew to think of Davis as a Father figure and mentor.
In Chicago, Obama worked for Leftest Organizations and had Leftest friends. Bill Ayers a 1960's radical and Bernadine Dorn were friends and neighbors. Ayers and Obama worked and raised money for the same Foundation. Father Flager and Rev. Jeriahmia Wright, were personal heroes of Obama
Obviously, Barak Hussein Obama is a Muslim at heart. No other explanation could explain his body language and speech since his entry into public life. Before he was elected he shunned all things Muslim. He wouldn't use his middle name. He banned two Muslim women from the stage at a campaign event in Detroit because the were wearing hijabs, Muslim headscarves. He later denied it was his fault because his staff had assigned their seat to someone else.
"MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: And John McCain said the same thing about questioning your faith.
SEN. OBAMA: And what was the first thing the McCain campaign went out and did? They said, look, these liberal blogs that support Obama are out there attacking Governor Palin. Let's not play games. What I was suggesting - you're absolutely right that John McCain has not talked about my Muslim faith, and you're absolutely right that that has not come -
MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: Your Christian faith.
SEN. OBAMA: My Christian faith - well, what I'm saying is -
MR. STEPHANOPOULOS: Connections, right.
SEN. OBAMA: - that he hasn't suggested that I'm a Muslim, and I think that his campaign upper echelons haven't either. What I think is fair to say is that coming out of the Republican camp, there have been efforts to suggest that perhaps I'm not what who I say I am when it comes to my faith, something which I find deeply offensive, and that has been going on for a pretty long time."
He gave a speech in 2006 that mocked Christians and Jews by mocking the old and new testaments of the Bible. It was in that speech that he first uttered "America is no longer a Christian nation". This phrase is often taken out of context, because in it he mentions other religions that are part of America, Jews, Muslims, Buddhists. This may have been an acceptable comment except he has kept repeating it. He seems to, at every turn, ridicule Christianity and Judaism. In Turkey he again said "America is no longer a Christian nation". He was trying to make a connection between the two countries, Turkey and America, as secular nations.
Who can forget the bow to the Saudi King...
“I have known Islam on three continents before coming to the region where it was first revealed. That experience guides my conviction that partnership between America and Islam must be based on what Islam is, not what it isn’t. And I consider it part of my responsibility as president of the United States to fight against negative stereotypes of Islam wherever they appear.”
On French television he nuanced his remarks about America and Muslims by saying:
"Now, the flip side is I think that the United States and the West generally, we have to educate ourselves more effectively on Islam. And one of the points I want to make is, is that if you actually took the number of Muslims Americans, we’d be one of the largest Muslim countries in the world. And so there’s got to be a better dialogue and a better understanding between the two peoples."For all his sage understanding he clearly is revealing his soul. He is, no matter what his words say, a Muslim, an Islamist and possibly a jihadist in the way he is changing America.
When any organism is attacked from a foreign body it defends itself. Most of the President's true ideas are foreign to a great many Americans. He has talked like a Moderate and has preformed as something very different. Almost all of his "change" has been 180 degrees from where most Americans live. Obama loves to dictate what America should be; anything but American.
