Ah, the enigma of a man who has written 2 autobiographies. The mysteries abound!

From youtube:

We're told Barack Obama's history and character are somehow off-limits. But personal history makes character, and the character of the President of the United States is something we have a right to be interested in.

Uhh... no we're not. I'm stopping there.

Yeah, I too found the video to be factually correct.

That's because you don't know the definition of enigma. But I wouldn't expect anything less from someone who quotes Rush Limbaugh in their sig in a non-satirical manner.

If painting with that wide brush works for you, by all means continue.

And we wouldnt expect anything but ardent support for Barack Obama from you.

HaHa what a friggin whackadoodle! I watched the entire 12min and I wan't my time back:) Not one single shred of anything meaningful, just a strange montage of unrelated quips and quotes and tons of total wingnut conspiracy theory style conjecture from Whittle. If the OP truly believes one bit of that tripe he should be prevented from reproducing. He should have filmed this in his pointy hat with a cross burning and a noose hanging from a tree in the background for the proper effect :)

Well, my criticism of him in multiple threads on the PN frontpage from Libya to detention policies to Manning notwithstanding, I suppose I ardently support him on policies where we agree, but that's rather redundant to point out, no?

Ahh, the racist defense. Very unique.

Why bother? It's a character assassination piece playing guilt by association peppered with right wing anti-intellectualism and americana screed. We have a shitton of info on Obama as a senator and more than 2 years of a presidency from which to judge actual actions when the power was available to wield. You can call him a marxist socialist muslim fascist whatever. Reasonable people have seen a president presiding as a pragmatic centrist. He usually gets called Black Bush and Commie in the same thread so he's definitely doing something right.

Extended the bush tax cuts after a lax challenge? check
continue war on terror with increased aerial attacks and doubling down in afghanistan? check
indefinite detention of foreign nationals? check
push for universal healthcare by way of single payer? Bzzzt.
How about a public option? bzzzzzt
How about ending DADT by executive fiat? Bzzzt.
Amnesty for illegals? bzzzzt. How about just decreasing the deportation levels? bzzzt.

I can't. As far as I know Obama's grandfather really did want a boy instead of a girl and that's the reason he named his daughter Stanley. It wasn't a nice thing to do though and I would definitely weigh that fact before voting for Obama's maternal grandfather.

Anyone else not able to take this guy seriously (aside from the rant) since he's a Jim Carrey look-a-like?

There is so much compost to be turned over on this man, that he'll be kept real busy between now and November of 2012 just defending himself. The big guns get rolled out later. This is the minor stuff. The preamble.

I like how you think there's some great mystery hidden and Whittle's titular "enigma" confounding people, but then cite repeatedly....to Obama's autobiographies to prove how much is hidden and how little we know.

At first I couldn't, but then the flames made me take it seriously.

Two autobiographies, one of which he goes to great lengths to make sure no one reads.

Didn't watch the video, takes too long compared to reading. And as a rule, there is no wisdom to be found on youtube.
