During Interview, Bill O‘Reilly Calls Obama’s Father a ‘Shadowy Figure’ and a ‘Sociopath’

During Interview, Bill OReilly Calls Obamas Father a Shadowy Figure and a SociopathOn Tuesday night, author Sally Jacobs appeared on Fox News’ “The O’Reilly Factor” to discuss her new book, “The Other Barack.” Collectively, the book provides a comprehensive look at the life of President Barack Obama’s father.

It paints a depressing tale of a man who married four times, consumed copious amounts of alcohol and was scarcely involved in his son, Barack Jr.’s, life. Bill O’Reilly, of course, held nothing back regarding his opinion about the president’s father.

Jacobs’ new work is unique in that it provides information that has thus far not been uncovered about Barack Obama Sr. In reviewing “The Other Barack,” The Washington Post’s David J. Garrow writes:

…[Jacobs'] richly sourced account of how a promising young adulthood quickly descended into daily alcoholic binges and serial domestic violence paints an even more dramatically downbeat portrait than did Obama’s namesake son 16 years ago in “Dreams From My Father.”

During his interview with Jacobs, O’Reilly was candid, asking Jacobs “what kind of man” would abandon his son. The conservative commentator called Obama Sr. a “sociopath” and “a shadowy figure.” Additionally, he condemned the elder Obama’s abandonment of his son as “deplorable.”

While Jacobs is unwilling to call Obama Sr.’s actions “deplorable,” (she says it’s not her place to judge and that such occurrences are common), she does admit that he was reckless and that he had a “loose relationship with the truth.” Watch O‘Reilly’s tough commentary and this intriguing interview, below:

    Remember, Obama is just the figurehead that represents all those who (still) support him. They are of like minds, intent, and character.. THIS is what “Democracy” looks like… Power Over YOU, by whatever means necessary..

It is The American Politburo, and we will be victims of it. The progressive supporters are under the foolish delusion that THEY will be treated fairly, but what they don’t remember is that tyrants kill their friends first.

      The sad thing is that there are people who buy and read books like this. And that “news” channels would provide the author with a forum to pitch it. This applies to “feed the mob” on either the right or left. How does this have anything to do with the issues facing the country or add to the debate regarding possible solutions. When Ann Coulter appears on Bill Maher it becomes more obvious that we have a media industry that has become nothing more than a self serving money making enterprise. Where money has become more important than the news, integrity, ethics, basic courtesy and common sense. The masses on both sides are being played…

      Obama idolized his father. He modeled his life in pursuit of his father’s dreams. All you have to do is read his book “Dreams OF my Father” to know that. To understand what motivates him you need to read “The Roots of Obama’s Rage” by Dinesh D’Souza. It all makes sense when you understand what really motivates Obama, and why he is HELL-BENT on changing the American dream into his father’s dream.

      Obama’s father was a typical America-hating communist loser with absolutely no morals… he had a lifelong habit of impregnating and abandoning a bunch of stupid women and bastard children in several countries.

      One of this bastard children ended up lying and cheating his way into the White House. Our Bastard-in Chief is a lying fraud, like his father, on MANY levels.

      Liars propagating more lies.

      (1) Barack Hussein Obama didn’t write “Dreams from My Father.” This book was ghost written by Bill Ayers edited by Bernadine Dohrn. There are no examples of Obama’s writing style except a comic book. Obama’s rememberances are completely contrived.

      (2) Barack Hussein Obama’s biological father is Frank Marshall Davis. Davis had fled Chicago because he had impregnated too many white women and was concerned about retribution. Obama’s mother told Barack Hussein Obama Sr. she was pregnant with his child. If they were married, it was to solve an immigration problem. Barrack Sr. counted nine months on the calendar and realized little Barry Jr. wasn’t his child. Little Barry Jr. spent his teen years on Oahu with his mentor Frank Marshall Davis.

      (3) Barack Hussein Obama Sr. came back to Oahu to visit his friends. Little Barry’s birth certificate said “Father Unknown”. Barack Hussein Obama Sr. signed an affidavit stating he was Little Barry’s father so that Barry could be adopted by his grandparents.

      (4) Barry Dunham assumed the alias of Barack Hussein Obama Jr. sometime when he attended Occidental College. He has used several aliases and social security numbers to assume several identities.

      Grandmaof5 (morining):

      Indeed like father, like son; especially in the case of Mr Obama in the White House. I pray the kids of his will turn out to be dramatically different, it may happen with the help of the Almighty. Unless the ‘great of of DC’ declares himself a dictator for life and goes on a universal golf game for many a year….then God help us indeed.

      Indeed, as the father has gone, so the son is forged in the same image.

      How it Fla today and the kitties? If you have a chance I have two new ones in my gallery as well.
