Obama's women reveal his secret
The AsianTimesOnline recently published an expose on Obama’s family background to show the “kitchen in which he was forged.” It contains some revealing theories on the type of man Barrack may likely be.
- "Cherchez la femme," advised Alexander Dumas: "When you want to uncover an unspecified secret, look for the woman." In the case of Barack Obama, we have two: his late mother, the went-native anthropologist Ann Dunham, and his rancorous wife Michelle. Obama's women reveal his secret: he hates America.
- We know less about Senator Obama than about any prospective president in American history. His uplifting rhetoric is empty, as Hillary Clinton helplessly protests. His career bears no trace of his own character, not an article for the Harvard Law Review he edited, or a single piece of legislation. He appears to be an empty vessel intended to be filled with the wishful thinking of those around him. But there is a real Barack Obama. No man – least of all one abandoned in infancy by his father – can conceal the imprints of an impassioned mother, or a brilliant wife.
- America is not the embodiment of hope, but the abandonment of one kind of hope in return for another. America is the spirit of creative destruction, selecting immigrants willing to turn their back on the tragedy of their own failing cultures in return for a new start. America’s creative success is so enormous that its global influence hastens the decline of other cultures.
- To those other cultures, America is a monster. Between half and nine-tenths of the world's 6,700 spoken languages will become extinct in the next century, and the anguish of dying peoples rises up in a global cry of despair. Some of those who listen to this cry become anthropologists, the curators of soon-to-be extinct cultures. Anthropologists who really identify with their subjects marry them. Obama's mother, the University of Hawaii anthropologist Ann Dunham, did so twice.
- The desperation, frustration and disappointment visible on Michelle Obama's face on the campaign trail are not new to the candidate's wife; as Steve Sailer, Rod Dreher and other commentators have noted, desperation, frustration and disappointment were the theme of her undergraduate thesis, on the subject of "blackness" at Princeton University.
- No matter what the good intentions of Princeton, which founded her fortunes as a well-paid corporate lawyer, she wrote, "My experiences at Princeton have made me far more aware of my 'Blackness' than ever before.
- I have found that at Princeton no matter how liberal and open-minded some of my white professors and classmates try to be toward me, I sometimes feel like a visitor on campus; as if I really don't belong."
- Never underestimate the influence of a wife who bitch-slaps her husband in public. Early in Obama's campaign, Michelle Obama could not restrain herself from belittling the senator. "I have some difficulty reconciling the two images I have of Barack Obama. There's Barack Obama the phenomenon. He's an amazing orator, Harvard Law Review, or whatever it was, law professor, best-selling author, Grammy winner. Pretty amazing, right? And then there's the Barack Obama that lives with me in my house, and that guy's a little less impressive," she told a fundraiser in February 2007.

Our Take
We does this say about Obama, that the people in his life, who harbor some beliefs and sentiments that might not have the best interest of the American people at heart, have left an indelible impression upon him? Will it be possible for him to see America for the land of opportunity that it is? Or will his vision be clouded by the prism of the wife and mother who helped shape him? These are relevant questions to ask of anyone seeking the highest office in the land.
