You’ve hit on the exact reason I cannot warm up to Michelle. I could probably match and raise her on her living situation as a child, but I find so many things to treasure. The things my parents couldn’t buy me have been forgotten, but I still remember the efforts they made for me. Where are Michelle’s warm and funny stories about her childhood? Was she always so resentful, or did she learn to be from some sort of leftist indoctrination? Can’t she pull out some story about a special thing she did with her mother that was more important than any material deprivation? All I feel from her is the anger at our country.

I think my mother also had class. It didn’t cost anything, and it didn’t come from the government.

There’s that oreo thing again that has the cost of death in Palestine if you are an Arab and found working with the Jews.

So Obama, in order to save his own hide, sold out to a greater evil than simply the victimization of being seen as a sellout to his race or faction. How far will Obama go as President should America’s enemies call him a sellout and want him to atone for his sins?

This is modern amoral familism all right.

(First paragraph: A quote from one of Obama’s book)
“To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist Professors and the structural feminists and punk-rock performance poets.” - Barack Obama’s Dreams From My Father, pages 100-101.

(Second paragraph: blogger’s summary)
Americans do not like or trust marxist, race-baiting terrorist sympathizers, and it looks like Obama has gone out of his way in his own life (by his own admission) to keep that kind of company. Americans will never put that type of person in the White House. Obama’s charade is over.

My own thought is this. Take another look at Barack Obama’s own categorization of who he chooses carefully to be eligible as a friend of his:
- The more politically active black students
- Foreign students
- Chicanos
- Marxist Professors
- Structural feminists
- Punk-rock performance poets

Do you think he includes *Republican* politically active black students in his list? Or just the leftist ones? How many of them he chose do you think are permanently angry?

“Foreign students” is very vague. Again I wonder… which foreign students?

When he says, “Chicanos”, I wonder what that means as well. It doesn’t mean just Hispanics. I think it means politically leftist active Hispanics. Again: ANGRY!

And the last three have only two things in common: They are leftists and they are angry!

So what we have here is, basically, Obama choosing as his friends committed leftists who are angry all the time. This doesn’t speak very well of someone who wants to overcome divisiveness, who wants to be a uniter, who wants to heal, does it? Unless by unity and healing, he means, get everyone to accept the leftist and angry worldview, and marginalize those who don’t agree.

Think I’m wrong? Consider what he specifically did NOT say: I choose my friends very carefully. Mostly I’m looking for all fellow travellers who seek to heal the divisions. I’m looking for those who work hard at creating common ground and unity. I find them among all categories of people, and that encourages me.

No… he specifically does not choose friends who seek unity and healing. It explains why he was so comfortable for twenty years listening to Rev. Wright’s bitterness, anger and sarcasm. It explains why he’s so comfortable with black liberation theologians, who can also be described as permanently offended and angry. Where are the healers? Where are the uniters?

When an Arabic or Persian or Palestinian talks about peace or co-existence with Israel, they are called traitors (apostates) and then promptly killed. When blacks in America talks about co-existence and positive cooperation with Republicans, they are called Uncle Toms, Aunt Jemimas, and everything else they threw at Condoleeza Rice and Justice Thomas.

When a black man becomes educated and learned in the white man’s economy and business world, he is seen as a sell out by much of the black community. An oreo, someone black on the outside and white on the inside, meaning a person that lives a life of deception trying to appease their masters with a cookie exterior.

When a Muslim comes to America or the West and adopts Western practices, they are hounded by people just as Hirsi Ali has been hounded.

When a Muslim terrorists comes to the US and indulges in lap dances and other Western practices before flying a plane into a building full of civilians, that Muslim is seen as pure and virtuous for having atoned and redeemed himself.

When black pasters and people like Farrakan, Jackson, and Sharpton use white collar legal protections and ACLU powers to hit their political enemies, they are praised as pure and full of salvation for the black man.

When Arab Princes use the oil wealth of their nation to oppress their people, fake liberals say it is just their culture and it wouldn’t be a problem if the West wasn’t full of pollution and sin and capitalism.

When American companies go out to look for oil and petroleum in order to supply plastic life saving technologies to infants and people in need, not to mention heating and fuel to power the economy that sustains billions, they are labeled as evil corporations out to make a profit off of the backs and blood of the downtrodden.

Human beings are full of foolishness, as you can see, and it is only through war that any human ever figured out which was the “wise” path to take amongst the veritable slew of possible opportunities to create mayhem and call it salvation.

Few, if any, rulers in Arabia or Persia currently hold a candle to him.

If absolute power corrupts absolutely, then it will sure as heck take a superior human such as Asoka to rule well and justly with such power. You don’t find such men anymore in modern times. Both because of the limitation of power and because the world is spoiled, at least the Western world is, and that spoils everyone else that comes into contact with the West.
