Is Barack the Flim-Flam-Man, the Pied Piper, a Snake Oil Salesman or the Man to Take Charge?

I wrote an earlier article in which I thought Barack Obama might be the right person for the change in our leadership (link). But since then, new information into the inner thoughts and beliefs of Obama are emerging (link). It must be pointed out that one can’t paint all people of a skin color, ethnicity, political persuasion, religion or any other category, as the same. However, There are those who collectively want to impose their racial and bigoted concepts on others. Bigotry and racism are not the sole possession of the right. Why is it, blacks on the right, such as Colin Powell (link) and Condoleezza Rice (link) are hated by blacks (the majority) on the left? Why are some black people, who have very light complexions like Alicia Keyes, attacking whites (link)?

Who is the real Barack Obama, what does he believe about racism, loyalty and America? What are his true feelings, what impact did his early Islamic background, his association with white and Jewish hate mongers, have on his beliefs (link)? His past association with an American terrorist (link), his upbringing and life experiences, in totality leads one to believe that he may not be the right person to lead this country. Recently, Obama told a group of elitists in San Francisco, about people in the Midwest, as Middle class small-town Americans, they cling to their guns and clothe themselves in the belief of a hell and brimstone god (link). He further stated, Midwest Americans are against foreigners or anyone that is different. He implied they are bitter white people, mad, mad as hell because their way of life is disappearing. Is Barack Obama right or is he the Flim-Flam-Man who is trying to sell his followers a bill of goods. Are his followers wearing blinders and want change and don’t care what change brings. Is he the Pied Piper, whose tune has hypnotized the masses? Is he nothing more than a snake oil salesman? Or does he have the answer and knows how to lead this country to a new enlighten future?

The First and Second Amendments of the Constitution give us certain rights (link). These rights include, ownership of guns if we choose and the right to believe or not believe, in God. We have the right to worship God if we choose to. We are a country of immigrants, but we have a right to be concerned about illegal immigration. We have the right to be bitter about the lose of jobs, and outsourcing of jobs.

So we have two groups of people, the bitter right of center who are recoiling in their shells and the left of center who believe it is their time, that Barack is the new Godless messiah who will lead them to the land of milk and honey. But in order for this to happen, the past has to be regurgitated and the transgressions of the white man have to be put on trial. In the barbershops, in the black churches and in black music, the proponents of hate whitie, are prevalent. The enlighten whites are flocking to fall in line behind Barack. Some are the young idealists and others are the rich and famous, others are the educated elitists. They all feel that it is time to correct the sins of the white man.

At first I gave him the benefit of the doubt. I thought maybe the country is ready for a person of color. But when the revelations about his spiritual advisor became apparent and his associates, who also advocate hatred for this country and for white people, causes one to pause and ask, who is this man? What does change mean to him, what change is he advocating? Is the new Utopia going to be at the expense of the white man and his way of life? Are we to pay reparations for the past? I thought Barack and Michelle were the vanguard of the new upper class of blacks, who because of their success, were going to lead the way for other blacks. Setting the example, of how people of all ethnicities, have the potential to achieve the American dream. But it looks like more of the same, the outing of one section of society for another. The past has to be included in the study of history, so that we don’t make the same mistakes in the future. But, to live in the past is not the answer. If Barack Obama is going to be the vanguard of change, then he has to look to the future not the past.
