How Obama Thinks: Dreams from his Father... Forbes Magazine

10 Jan 2011 15:51 #1 by Jonathan Hemlock
Barack Obama is the most anti-business president in a generation, perhaps in American history. Thanks to him the era of big government is back. Obama runs up taxpayer debt not in the billions but in the trillions. He has expanded the federal government's control over home mortgages, investment banking, health care, autos and energy. ...

Regardless of all of the different news stories, magazine articles and books that I have read, this simple story seems to pose the most plausible theory and then draws the most likely conclusion, regarding Obama's policy motivations. Obama is ruled by something that most Americans are unable to fully grasp. Many pundits have tried and come up, unfortunately, just shy of a real-world explanation for Mr. Obama's actions. Here, Dinesh D'Souza presents a clear depiction of the most anti-business and anti-American-Dream, man to ever sit in the White House as President of these United States.

Most importantly, is the fact that D'Souza uses both Obama Senior's and Junior's very own words to draw his insightful conclusion.

It will take only a few minutes to read but everyone must read this Forbes Magazine article from September, 2010.

This post, must to be resurrected! Not one single comment, yet.

Is the article too long? Maybe it tasks your pea-sized brains a bit too much to read the facts about the most Anti-business, Anti-American President to have ever lived in the White House.

I read the original article in Forbes and did find it interesting even if I didn't agree with all the premises. How influential can a father be when the kid never really met him?

I think Obama's liberal grandparents, more liberal mother, educating himself in leftist schools has made him what he is, a secular socialist who is the most third world focused POTUS ever. Not that it is a bad thing, Barack found out soon enough that he wasn't elected dictator.

Thomas Sowell: There are no solutions, just trade-offs.

Thanks for your comment.

In spite of all that I have read from authors attempting to identify this man for what he is, this seems to strike the closest to home.

Obama's Dreams from his Father apparently are not made from personal contact or from specific experiences but, from visions he perceived while kneeling at his daddy's grave. Hmmm!

I think I saw this before, in a movie! Didn't Chucky have a similar dreams?

I have heard D'Souza interviewed a few times. It's terrifying to think this socialist is the president of our beloved country. My democrat friends who voted for him now regret their vote. We can only hope he is a one-term president.

Sorry TG, but you have awakened the Monster!

Obama will most assuredly be a one-term President. He is not, nor was he ever, Presidential Material!

However, the facts remain. How will these United States ever undo the particular damage caused by this ludicrously open-minded, liberal and post-colonial President? Will we ever be able to redeem all of the lost freedoms and capitalist curtailments hidden within his Socialist/Progressive/Post-Colonialist legislative agenda?

Mr. Obama has uniformly put first, the downtrodden third world nations; all be it, their plight being truly unfortunate, miserable and sad but, he has positioned them well above the entrepreneurial, creative and productively spirited, American people. A people, by the way, which have thoroughly and endurably set the precedent for all prosperous, creative, competitive, and free market enterprise systems, throughout the entire world.

Mr. Obama must begin to refute the principles of George Soros' Open Society Institute and obtain a clear focus of America’s contributions to the world through its unbiased civil institutions and through its unique and particular form of representative governance.

When America was the envy of the world, it was also at its peak of performance. Since, all of this "Anti", rhetoric has caused us to question ourselves, as well as to question our specific intentions. Additionally, and in turn, we have begun to think of ourselves as wanting or somewhat lacking in character and intellect and therefore, we are most likely guilty for our selfish ambitions towards prosperity and self-sufficiency.

We must ask ourselves these questions? Am I antagonistic towards the remainder of the world? Do I harbor animosity towards those productive societies that repeatedly foster advancements for all of civilization, as well as for all of mankind? Do I wish to keep secret, every scientific, technological and medical breakthrough, only to preserve these for the benefit of me, myself and mine, and more specially for the selfish benefits of our predominant, imperial, self-centered and undeniably predictable culture? Or, do I agree that merely posing these questions is principally a ludicrous and intrinsically, culturally, incomprehensible question? A question that is undeniably, irrational relative to the American spirit?

These mental exercises are, I am sorry to say, constitute the process by which Mr. Obama has signified his Presidency. His approach to all policy decisions are based on his post-colonialist, mistakenly slanted, perceptions of America. This has since, put us in a very peculiar predicament.

I believe, Mr. Obama’s approach to international affairs is in contradiction to what we believe is a concretely understood, American perspective or ideology. It furthermore, is a wrong-headed, irresponsible and potentially damaging act, which will likely result in a condition which our nation becomes subservient to all others. If our nation does not lead, I fear for its collapse.

Our President’s behavior is a self-defeating behavior.

How many times have you experienced in life, a personnell manager that says, you will start with the score of Zero and from that point, you will have to gain points in my favor, vs. the Manager who says you will start at 100% and then, by your actions, will reduce your score on a productivity scale?

This may not at first seem pertinent but, as you realize that if our nation is percieved by the world as a second or third class citizenry, we will always be fighting an uphill battle for acceptance when in fact, we are a nation which sets the standards at 100% and then challenges the remainder of the nations of the world to adopt values for caring, compassion andmotivation for an industrious people.
