Obama is our first third world president

Obama is truly a world class, no class, third world president. The treatment of Israeli Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu was disgusting and a major embarassament of the United States in front of the entire world. The mullah in the White House is the loser and has made all of us in the United States losers from his wretched excuse he calls hope, change and leadership. Even when past administrations have had differences with our allies they were never treated as badly as Netanyahu was. China Confidential has an excellent article on the third world POTUS, the one foolishly and blindly elected into the highest office in the land.

America's First Third World President

Understand, as Barack Obama likes to say, that he is America's first Third World President. This explains his antipathy toward Israel, which he clearly regards as an outpost of Western colonialism; appeasement (engagement) of Islamist Iran and Islamism in general; downgrading of the war on terror in order to avoid antagonizing the so-called Muslim world--to which he has bowed and apologized--and outreach to such despots as Venezuelan strongman Hugo Chavez and Cuba's Castro brothers.

If Obama is a socialist, as many conservatives suspect, he is a Third World-style socialist, someone who is focused on nationalizing the economy, distributing wealth, creating, vast, controlling bureaucracies, and limiting freedom--in contrast with traditional, Western European democratic socialists, for whom socialism was synonymous with a quest for freedom and genuine humanism.

As a rising political star, Obama came under the influence of the Reverend Jeremiah Wright, an advocate of black liberation theology, which blends black nationalism and religious traditions, Marxism, socialism, and Third Worldism with Christian liberation theology--and hatred of the U.S. political and economic system, which is viewed as being inherently imperialist, racist, and oppressive. As President, Obama is seemingly sympathetic to a melding of Marxist/socialist and Islamist ideals, while seeking a diminishing of U.S. military power around the world--viewing it as a root cause of anti-Americanism and terrorism--and a distancing of the United States from Israel in the context of a realignment of Washington with the Third World. U.S. support for Israel is perhaps the primary root cause of anti-Americanism in the Middle East and throughout "the Muslim world," according to Obama and his most senior foreign policy advisors.

The whole concept of the West--the fact that Israel's current prime minister is the author of a book titled Terrorism: How the West Can Win--offends Obama, whose thinking on the subject was influenced by the late, controversial Columbia University professor, proponent of postcolonial theory, and PLO/terrorism apologist, Edward Said, with whom Obama dined on at least one occasion. (See picture below.) No snubbing of Said! On the contrary; he may have been another Obama mentor.

Also offensive to Obama: any emphasis on America's Judeo-Christian heritage. Hence, his Big Lie about Islam shaping the country since its inception and wildly inaccurate estimates of the U.S. Muslim population, which he has inflated for political purposes.

There is more. Mary Ellen Synon's essay is a must-read:


Obama is the first US president who was raised without cultural or emotional or intellectual ties to either Britain or Europe. The British and the Europeans have been so enchanted with 'America's first black president' that they haven't been able to see what he really is: America's first Third World president.

If you doubt it, remember the kick in the teeth he gave Britain over the Falklands just a few weeks ago. Obama had his Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, fly to Buenos Aires to give American support to President Kirchner's call for international negotiations over the Falklands. Amazing. What was more amazing is that all we've heard out of Number 10 and the Foreign Office since then is that it doesn't mean anything.

Oh, yes it does, and Washington insiders know it does.

I've just been in touch with Dr James Lucier, a former US Senate Foreign Relations Committee Staff Director, about all this. He tells me: 'Culturally, Obama detests Great Britain. He sent the bust of Churchill back without a fig leaf of an excuse. He insulted the Queen and the Prime Minister, giving them ridiculous gifts.' At one point, 'he refused to meet the prime minister.'

Here is what is happening, though the British Government seems oblivious of it. The Obama administration is ready to dump the Old World in pursuit of the One World.

Britain is being dumped. The special relationship, whatever is left of it, is over. Britain losing control of the Falklands to Argentina would just be collateral damage.

But France is being dumped, too. Obama's ostentatious refusal to have dinner with President Sarkozy during his visit to France last year was no accident. Rather than meet the French president, Obama went off to a restaurant with his wife Michelle.

Germany is being dumped. Obama has been little more than dismissive of Chancellor Merkel. Russia in turn will be waved aside.

Most spectacularly of all, the European Union has now been comprehensively dumped. The American president has refused to attend what is supposed to be a US-EU Madrid summit in May.

What we have shaping up, but what the British Government doesn't yet grasp, is that Obama has a conscious policy of down-grading America's relationship with, first, Britain and then with the rest of Europe.

He believes that the US -- yes, his own country -- and Britain, and the leading European countries, too, for that matter, are imperial powers who ruthlessly exploited the Third World for their own profit.

And Obama is America's first Third World president.

Forget Obama's Chicago black cadence. It is a fake. He copied from the kind of black preachers that were unknown to him until he was a grown man and inventing his political image.

What the Obama administration has near-wiped from the president's personal history is that his only childhood links with America were as a schoolboy in a fashionable private school in Asia-dominated Hawaii, where he was raised by his white, bank executive grandmother.

Chicago is not Obama's homeland. It never was his formative influence. The president's world view is more aligned with that of Indonesia.
