A memo to Charles Krauthammer: Re Washington Post column, page A19, 10/10/08
In practical terms, I grant you that BHO may not be as corrupt as the indicted slumlord Tony Rezko. He may not be as vile as the reconstructed but unrepentant Weather Underground terrorist Bill Ayers. He may not be as hateful as the hate-mongering, race-baiting Black Liberation Theology preacher Jeremiah Wright.
I submit to you, however, that in principle, he is far more sinister and dangerous than these three enablers put together. He is an eloquent politician with hubristic oratory, a penchant for childish indulgence, and without any moral qualms.
Let me count the ways:
Oratorical Hubris—“We are the change we have been waiting for.” He cajoles the adoring public with kindred sophistry.
Childish Indulgence—He sanctioned the unveiling of the personalized presidential seal on the campaign plane, with an aura of accomplishment.
Moral Turpitude—He spews the ever shifting rationale for diplomacy with rogue regimes; publicly denigrating the grandmother who raised him as a typical white person who exhibits racist apprehensions; defending Rev. Wright as an eccentric uncle and dumping him as political baggage in the next news cycle.
I will bet three-quarters of my hedge funds profits for the third and fourth fiscal quarters that Obama’s graduation thesis at Columbia University contains the ideological and philosophical underpinnings to his dealings with RAW. I admit this is purely speculative on my part.
Firstly, I speculate that Obama did write a graduation thesis. Almost everybody does. Unless of course if he was granted an Affirmative Action exemption to it. Since Columbia has not released any such document, the likelihood of my being proved wrong is rather remote.
That Obama was attracted to Saul Alinsky’s template for community organizing leads me to further speculate that at Columbia he formulated with unbridled academic elegance, a radical thesis on entitlements and social engineering. This would go a long way to later resonate with the RAW ideologies and cement his well documented alliances with Rezko-Ayers-Wright.
The Nation of Islam anointed him the Messiah who will bring about universal change. Is this short of the 12th Imam who will usher in the final Caliphate? To think that America may be handing him the key to her nuclear arsenal in three weeks makes the ongoing credit/financial crises seem like a Sunday picnic!
