The one set of quotes that does not seem speculative, merely observational:
He married a crass, stereotypical, big-bottomed black woman name Michelle LaVaughn Robinson whose family was not only part of the Daley Machine, but was close with Jesse Jackson. At every step of the way, Obama cultivated as many ties as possible to black leaders so that he would not be seen as an outsider. Michelle’s crassness was the most important aspect of all this — her abrasiveness and scowling, grievance-driven demeanor, when carried on his arm, made Obama seem “Southside black” in her company.

I'm going with he's gay.
ReplyDeleteIt was somewhere between "often speculated" and "well-known secret" that those early 90s Duke teams that Reggie Love played on had gays.
I'm not huge on the birther speculation, I just don't think we should completely discount the whole weirdness of his past. I enjoyed the link but took it with a grain of salt. I have heard of his bath house experiences.
ReplyDeleteI have seen the video where he claims Kenya as his homeland, but I can claim Germany as mine, in a sense.
There has to be a reason for the devout Muslim appointees in homeland security, remarks made in his two books whereby he aligns himself with Muslims and blacks and his complete distaste for our Constitution.
Obama and Janet Napolitano appointed Arif Alikhan, a devout Muslim, as Assistant Secretary for Policy Development. DHS Secretary Janet Napolitano swore-in Kareem Shora, a devout Muslim, who was born in Damascus, Syria, as ADC National Executive Director as a member of the Homeland Security Advisory Council
From Audacity of Hope: I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.
From Dreams of My Father: “I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa , that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself: the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela.”
Am I a birther? No..because that’s not what matters, but I don’t think they should be lumped in with the Truthers either. All the crap piles up and doesn’t pass my “weirdness bar” The bad Chicago connections and the anti-American apologetic rhetoric make me suspicious about more than his birth certificate.
