And when you look at all he’s done to crater our relationship with Israel and paper over the vicious, virulent, aggressively expansionary nature of Islam, which is already on the verge of destroying Europe, what would he have done differently if he actually was a a radical Islamist?

There is so much in his upbringing, background, associations, statements, policies and actions that point to him being far closer to Islam than Christianity. Being a member of a church that preaches Black Liberation Theology, another spawn of Marxism according to its own founder, hardly qualifies him as being a Christian.

His totally ignoring the slaughter and displacement of Christians in every country with a significant Muslim presence, even “moderate” ones like Egypt who threw out the Muslim Brotherhood, while he hypes the “Religion of Peace” at every opportunity, gives the lie to his “Christian faith.”

These “gaffes” only occur when he is off the prompter. It’s pretty easy to always be in control when your a highly practiced reader.

Did you know that there are “reading the teleprompter with sincerity” classes available in acting schools for those who wish to do narration for documentaries and commercials, most of which are done with TPs? And the old saw for actors is that the only tough part is the sincerity – once you’ve got that down, the rest is easy.

Despite all the many, many legitimate and still unanswered questions about Obama’s past, his education, his associates, it was pretty easy to see all the way back in 2007.

A boy, abandoned by his father, then suffering the death of his stepfather, then abandoned by his mother, all while being brought up in a half Marxist/half Islamist bubble, was going to lead to one mighty effed-up adult. If he hadn’t been such a narcissistic sociopath, he would have ended up an early casualty of drug violence.

And the entire planet would have a much better place for it.

I agree with you generally in that comment—except for the “in control” thing. Epstein isn’t suggesting Obama is in control internally, or even in private. He is describing his public demeanor in terms of emotion and purposeful public statements, which are indeed very controlled (even the ones that seem uncontrolled). The only public exceptions are gaffes like “57 states.”

Barry was never that hard to figure out. all you had to do was look at his voting record, and look at his interviews.

The Mr Cool stuff was for the gullible. If you were one who was one of the”conservative commentators are embarrassingly eager to search Obama’s words, groveling for hopeful signs that he is not a radical intent on changing the face and nature of our republic”, you deserve what you got.

6 months after he was in, the answer to the oft-asked question, “Is he TRYING to destroy this country?” , was so obviously, “Yes!”, and yet people need more time to figure it out.

And that “in control” thing is part of his pose. There’s a lot of the punk and the ignoramus in him. A man “in control” would have had more of a track record. The “blank slate” thing is also an act. It’s part of being a sociopath.

I was mighty surprised when he responded to my defense of Chamberlain. (WRT Munich)

Like Fred H Jr., a soul to be missed.

As previously related, Barry put vibes down my spine — way back in 1983… the only person to strike me as being on the way to the presidency.

I saw him once on either Hitchcock or Twilight Zone. Anyone who can survive those shark-infested waters has completed a good primer on decoding desperate phonies.

btw: with Barack, here’s a tell. Folks. You see or hear that and it’s like Mary McCarthy’s take on Lillian Hellman.
