His mythical Abe Lincoln story in the middle of his speech -- about how his mother couldn't afford to send him to the schools that the American children went to (odd, that, considering his step father at the time had a lucrative job working for Mobile Oil, and ostensibly he's an American) so she had to give him private lessons at 4:30 in the AM -- was for me the most amusing bit.
There is no way it's true. His 'typical white person' grandmother was loaded and paid for his college. I did think his point about not feeling like he fit in rang true. I contend he's got some deep seated hatred for both of his parents -- especially his mother, considering he let her die of cancer without going to see her -- and ultimately his identity is something of a rabbit hole to him. I see the Obama that gives this Reaganesque speech (after passing along cliff notes that read like a Pyongyang dispatch), and then I wonder how it could be the same Obama that hangs out with Ayers, Wright, Rashidi, and then goes on to hire certifiable whackos like Van Jones, Susstein, Lloyd, Browner, and others, and seems to have hit it off marvelously with Hugo Chavez. There is something very troubling about his psyche. - Bob > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On > Behalf Of Michael Madigan > Sent: Tuesday, September 08, 2009 12:41 PM > To: ProFox Email List > Subject: Re: [OT] Are you going to watch the speech in 10 min? > > I bet he hates to actually show up and do work for the first time in > his life. > > --- On Tue, 9/8/09, Stephen Russell <[email protected]> wrote: > > > From: Stephen Russell <[email protected]> > > Subject: [OT] Are you going to watch the speech in 10 min? > > To: "ProFox Email List" <[email protected]> > > Date: Tuesday, September 8, 2009, 11:53 AM > > <http://mashable.com/2009/09/08/presidents-speech-to-school- > children/> > > > > I saw the Q&A with students this morning.
