I Am Barack Obama



"I am Barack Obama. I am President of the United States of America. I am a figure of enormous historical importance. I am the first black man to ever hold the office of the presidency. God bless this great country for making my story possible."
"I am Barack Obama. I am President of the United States of America. I am a figure of enormous historical importance. I am the first black man to ever hold the office of the presidency. God bless this great country for making my story possible."
It is hard to imagine that there is anyone in this country __ Democrat, Republican, Independent, undeclared __ who isn't a little perplexed by this enigmatic man, Barack Obama. Some of us are very perplexed and very angry.
Here is a very unflattering article by Michael Brenner, which offers an analysis of President Obama as a person. It explores his personality traits and comes to a startling conclusion, one which Obama supporters will not just find disturbing, but will deem outrageous and insulting.
This is a link to a podcast, of an interview of the author of the article by Rob Kall of OpEdNews. It is almost an hour long and probably most of you cannot even consider taking that much time out of busy schedules or much deserved leisure time to listen to something of this duration. I beg that you do. It will be time very well-spent and will reward you with some challenging ideas and insights into our current political morass.
I can only ask, but ask with as much sincerity and passion as I can generate, that you read and listen with an entirely open mind. Obama supporters will probably be outraged at the outset. Please, please just take a deep breath, calm yourselves, and read all the way to the end of the article, or listen to the entire interview, before going ballistic. If you can handle it, both read the article and listen to the audio.
Then just think about it.
