Excellent article that really lays it all out and connects the dots on why Obama's view of America seems, well, so un-American. The rejection of American exceptionalism. Combine this with the radicals he surrounds himself with, his mentor of 20 years and church and it's not so hard to see why we have a severely dangerous man in the white house.

More on it here, the more you look at his past and who he idolizes you can truly see what he really thinks.

I think that Ikenga, D'Souza, and Limbaugh are all correct. Obama has a grudge against America and its success. The Marxian anti-colonialist ideology he has evidently embraced fits well with this grudge, but it does not explain where it came from. To resent and wish to diminish the power and wealth of one's native land is an extraordinary thing, indicating a deep emotional alienation. People do not usually come to such a disturbing stance for purely intellectual reasons. In many cases, life's deepest resentments are rooted in the formative years of childhood, and it is in these years of Obama's life -- specifically the ages six to ten -- in which we can find the sort of experiences that could have produced a lifelong anger toward America and its affluent classes.

I believe that Obama isn't a socialist, but he does appear to be a statist. He isn't interested in government owning businesses but he does support policies that seems to indicate he wishes to be their masters. This goes beyond regulation where business has to operate within certain parameters but runs itself. I have the distinct impression that he wants to be the boss but without any accountability.

Ask yourself this though - Obama or Mccain. :)

If you are like me, both suck and either way we voted we were voting against ourselves...And that is why having a strong third party would be a nice thing to see. More options are only a good thing, especially when both options you are presented with suck beyond belief [Obama/Mccain].

I think McCain wouldn't have been that bad but for christ sake why the fuck did he choose that dimwit Sarah Palin as his running mate? That clinched it for me and she is the sole reason I didn't vote for McCain.
