Robert Tracinski does a masterful job of explaining the contradictions in Obama's character. Throughout this long and never ending campaign Obama has been a chamaleon, changing his stance on a long list of issues. He had a mix of influences on his political nurturing most importantly his associations with the murky world of ultra leftist politics in Chicago which included Saul Alinsky his Marxist "rabble rouser" to his "spiritual rabble rouser" the Reverend Wright. This is important and not to be snuffed at. We have never had a President who has been molded in this leftist marxist view of the world. Following is a small quote from a larger article by Tracinski which you would do well to read in its entirety.
"In Ayn Rand's essay 'For the New Intellectual', she described two types of villains who have sought dictatorial power throughout history: "Attila" and the "Witch Doctor" - the brute who attempts to gain power through muscle and the fraud who attempts to gain power through spiritual manipulation. These two archetypes represent the two major influences on Barack Obama's path to political power."
"This is a powerful and dangerous combination, and it is one that we cannot allow anywhere near the presidency of the United States. It is an Office that requires firm convictions about liberty and about the irreplaceable value of America. It cannot be held by a man who has turned his soul into the spiritual zero necessary to gain power." (Robert Tracinski writing in The Intellectual Activist).
