Obama does not make any decisions for himself. He is totally told what to say and do. That has always been the case. He was marked to be president very early on during university and maybe even sooner if it is true that his grandparents were communist activists and friends with Frank Marshall Davis. The grandchildren and gr-grandchildren of the communists that escaped communist Russia and Europe are running the show in most of the western world.
I agree with what you're trying to say, after all, in politics who isn't a harlot or a pawn?
However, though Barack is in many ways a tool [of Alinsky's political perversions], he is more dangerous than other tools in that he seems to have a way of consciously and cunningly manipulating cultural trends and current events in such a way as to favor his own agenda, and he does it with such brazen audacity, rank arrogance and hypocrisy, which he artfully disguises to the point of being idealized and adored by many, many idiots.
Look at what's happening right now! Regardless of whether or not Bin Laden is dead or has been for years or whatever, it is quite clear that he is using this as a means to save his beleaguered popularity rating and as means to gain the popularly sanctioned credibility (uh, "street cred," if you will) to bully his political opponents in assenting to his propositions and solicitations; not to mention its utility for him in next year's Presidential campaigns.
He represents a more overtly perverse trend in American political discourse: an artificially fabricated demagogue who meretriciously services the beast that brought him forth whilst manipulating it himself and bringing it closer to the fruition of its chicanery; all the while exalting himself as a hero and "inspiring" others to do the same.
He has managed to make the Constitution into his personal dishrag with the praise and approval of many, and those who protest, or at least attempt to establish an intelligent and open political discussion based on objective facts, are vilified and demonized with inflammatory word-games and libelous nonsense.
I believe Barack to be the greatest domestic threat the American Republic has faced, and the sad part is that most Americans do not even see it.
Post script: Yes, I know the Constitution is a docuмent fabricated by apostate deists and heretics, designed to overthrow the socio-political teachings of the Church.
