Gingrich ‘Slammed’ for Saying Obama May Hold ‘Kenyan’ Worldview

A few days ago I posted links to Dinesh D‘Souza’s article in Forbes about Obama’s mind. It’s simple title, “How Obama Thinks,” says a great deal about the ambitions of the article.

D‘Souza explores many facets that may affect Obama’s view of the world. But his focus on the convictions of Obama’s father are the centerpiece.  Obama’s father once wrote a passionate piece called “Problems Facing our Socialism:”

The senior Obama proposed that the state confiscate private land and raise taxes with no upper limit. In fact, he insisted that “theoretically there is nothing that can stop the government from taxing 100% of income so long as the people get benefits from the government commensurate with their income which is taxed.”

D’Souza explored the anticolonial thinking behind the piece and the posited this:

Remarkably, President Obama, who knows his father’s history very well, has never mentioned his father’s article. Even more remarkably, there has been virtually no reporting on a document that seems directly relevant to what the junior Obama is doing in the White House.

This struck me as wildly relevant.  Thus my post. It turns out that former House speaker Newt Gingrich also found the post to be particularly important.  He described it this way to  National Review‘s intrepid Robert Costa:

Gingrich says that D’Souza has made a “stunning insight” into Obama’s behavior — the “most profound insight I have read in the last six years about Barack Obama.”

“What if [Obama] is so outside our comprehension, that only if you understand Kenyan, anti-colonial behavior, can you begin to piece together [his actions]?” Gingrich asks. “That is the most accurate, predictive model for his behavior.”

This was enough for Gingrich to be tagged as “fueling the myth mongering that Barack Obama is not a natural-born U.S. citizen.”

Now White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs has Gingrich in his sites:

Gingrich Slammed for Saying Obama May Hold Kenyan Worldview

And I‘m sure Gibbs wasn’t pleased with Gingrich‘s assessment of Obama’s motives:

“This is a person who is fundamentally out of touch with how the world works, who happened to have played a wonderful con, as a result of which he is now president,” Gingrich tells us.

“I think he worked very hard at being a person who is normal, reasonable, moderate, bipartisan, transparent, accommodating — none of which was true,” Gingrich continues. “In the Alinksy tradition, he was being the person he needed to be in order to achieve the position he needed to achieve . . . He was authentically dishonest.”

    I read the D‘Souza article and thought it was interesting, but not because it was a great new insight into Obama, but rather a confirmation that all those who were concerned about the influence of people like Rev Wright on him exactly were correct.
    Wright’s liberation theology, as pointed out by Beck, is basically anti-colonialism disguised as religion, and espouses the same antipathy and hatred for the US as Obama senior did in his political views. And in truth, this condemnation of the oppressive White man is integral to Black culture in this country, which has been inculcated with the philosophy of victimhood by the Progressive agenda since the 60′s.
    In short, in Obama this country got it’s first Victim President, and all his policies to destroy the existing system are a reflection of this.

    Of course the President picked up some of the views of his parents, his muslim school attendence and of Pastor Wright, who he sat under for two decades. He has proved what Newt has said, time and time again. It amazes me, a democrat, why people are unwilling to admit this. Too bad we can’t give him a pink layoff slip.

    I hightly recommend the posters here read the Forbes article. It is long but enlightening and fascinating. There is ABSOLUTELY nothing ‘birther” in it. It certainly helped me understand some of Obama’s behaviors since his election. Gibbs is tossing out yet another red herring.

    This article, absent Gibbs and Obama and Dems looking frantically for an enemy to attack, and Newt’s musings on it has nothing to do with something as stupid as birtherism. It does have to do with influences from his father that Obama brings up in his own book.

      MaryBel, you’re correct about the message of the article. But, I would strong exception to the craziness of the birther movement. Yes, there are some crazie theories but from personal study and activist actions I led, I can tell you 100% that Obama is NOT a natrual born citizen. Te only reasons for us not knowing is (1) Obama has sealed all records and spends $1 million+ on the very best lawyers to stop anyone rom trying to get those records and (2) the courts are acting in very unconstitutional ways using technical rules rather than seeking for truth and justice.

      Yes Poppopschell, here’s one example of a half-truth. In the Forbes article D’Souza said:
      “A half-century later Alexis de Tocqueville wrote of America as creating “a distinct species of mankind.” This is known as American exceptionalism. But when asked at a 2009 press conference whether he believed in this ideal, Obama said no. America, he suggested, is no more unique or exceptional than Britain or Greece or any other country.”

      What Obama actually said was:
      “I believe in American exceptionalism, just as I suspect that the Brits believe in British exceptionalism and the Greeks believe in Greek exceptionalism. I’m enormously proud of my country and its role and history in the world. If you think about the site of this summit and what it means, I don’t think America should be embarrassed to see evidence of the sacrifices of our troops, the enormous amount of resources that were put into Europe postwar, and our leadership in crafting an Alliance that ultimately led to the unification of Europe. We should take great pride in that.

      “And if you think of our current situation, the United States remains the largest economy in the world. We have unmatched military capability. And I think that we have a core set of values that are enshrined in our Constitution, in our body of law, in our democratic practices, in our belief in free speech and equality, that, though imperfect, are exceptional.

      I think that D‘Souza’s characterization of Obama’s remarks was at best a half-truth and at worst an outright lie.

      Want truth?
      Obama is not an ordinary man. He is not a genius. In fact he is quite ignorant on most important subjects. Barack Obama is a narcissist. Dr. Sam Vaknin, the author of the Malignant Self Love, also believes, “Barack Obama appears to be a narcissist.”
      Narcissists are pathological liars. They lie even to themselves. Ironically, they are the first to believe their own lies. When normal people lie, they show signs of distress. Narcissists don’t.
      Narcissists need their narcissistic supply to fuel their narcissism. They get it through adulation from people around them. These people are often also needy people. They are known as co-dependants. The narcissist and his co-dependent therefore, form a sick symbiosis in which both benefit.
      The narcissist’s anger and intolerance is projected on his servile followers who also become angry and intolerant of criticism of their leader. Remember the sick symbiosis between the narcissist and his codependents? The followers get their narcissistic supply by elevating the status of their leader. The greater he looks, the better they feel. They see their glory is his glory. Conversely, when the narcissist is criticized, his followers become offended. They take those criticisms personally and their instinct of self defense is triggered. They will become vigilantes and will silence their critics through intimidation, bullying, mocking, threats and violence (like calling those who disagree with Obama, racists).

      How about this truth?….
      During the 2008 Presidential campaign Barack Obama told audiences, “Judge me by the people with whom I surround myself…”

      OK, we have.

      But hey, let’s have a walk down memory lane…shall we?
      –Obama wrote a book and said he was “mentored as a youth by Frank”,(Frank Marshall Davis) an avowed Communist.
      –In in his book, he said he chose Marxist friends and professors in college.
      –He sought the endorsement of the Marxist Party in 1996 as he ran for the Illinois Senate.
      –He chose friends and acquaintances such as Bill Ayers (60′s terrorist) and Bernadine Dohrn who were revolutionary radicals.
      –He appointed a Science Czar, John Holdren, who believes in forced abortions, mass sterilizations and seizing babies from teen mothers. Holdren has also suggested that infants and chronically ill elderly do not fit his definition of ‘human,’ and therefore can be expendable.
      –He appointed Cass Sunstein as Regulatory Czar who believes in “Explicit Consent,” harvesting human organs without family consent, and allowing animals to be represented in court, while banning all hunting.
      –He appointed Kevin Jennings, a homosexual, and organizer of a group called “gay, lesbian, straight, education network” as Safe School Czar.
      –He appointed Mark Lloyd, as Diversity Czar, who believes in curtailing free speech; taking from one and giving to another to spread the wealth; who also supports (dictator) Hugo Chavez.
      –Valerie Jarrett was selected as Obama’s Senior White House Advisor and she is an avowed Socialist.
      –Anita Dunn, White House Communications Director said Mao Tse Tung was her “favorite philosopher”, and the person she “turned to most for inspiration.”
      –He appointed Carol Browner as Global Warming Czar, and her being a well known socialist working on “Cap and Trade” as the nation’s largest tax. (Really know as “Cap & Tax)
      –He appointed Van Jones, an ex-con and avowed Communist as Green Energy Czar, who since had to resign when this was made public.
      –Tom Daschle, Obama’s pick for health and human services secretary could not be confirmed, because he had fibbed on his taxes.

      Well, there is more, but I am tired.
      Tired of people who cannot see who a person is, even when using that person’s own yardstick …to be ‘Judged by the persons with whom he surrounds himself.’

Do I believe he is legally the president? I absolutely do. The way the citizenship laws are written and the laws of the state of Hawaii, Mr Obama is indeed the president. However, his birth certificate was most likely obtained legally by his mother because Hawaii would issue birth certificates to children born abroad to the parent(s) of US citizens. Completely legal. I believe this is how his sister got her birth certificate when she was born in Jakarta. There is a bunch of other crazy swirling about time requirements for the mother..blah blah blah, but like soldiers’ children born abroad to a US citizen and a non-citizen I really believe President Obama, lied about his birthplace but is still legally president.

President Obama lauded the new Constitution, it has brought Kadhi Courts (sharia law) and abortion to the Kenyans. 69% of Kenyans oppose abortion and just like our Country our President has gone against the will of the people. VP Joe Biden visited Kenya prior to the vote and promoted the “yes campaign” I will eagerly await the results of the investigation, and then I will wait again once the Administration is cleared, hopefully, law abiding representatives will gain control of the House and will embark on a new investigation and we can witness justice.

Even if his view on this is wrong, it can be helpful to take a moment and ponder the future of America and where its leadership is taking us. Will it help? I don’t know. It all depends on us. True or false, it all depends on us.

      “Will they foster good will & understanding between conservative & liberal/progressive Americans?” Probably not. However, it could encourage us to come to understand how we think and to contemplate if it is important to us how others think. We don’t have to agree on everything, but I might prefer someone leads America who actually believes that I should have my freedom to think and do as I choose as opposed to how they (or a panel of “experts”) choose. I value my freedom, so taking a moment to contemplate how our elected leaders just might think about things might effect how I vote in the future, as well as how I evaluate future candidates. So why do I think it won’t help foster understanding? Because I think in the world of politics, they don’t want to be understood. It is world of slime and corruption, so neither Democrat or Republican really wants the source of their thoughts brought into the light for evaluation.

      “Will his words make it easier for America to move beyond the politics of hate & division?” Are you saying it is better to bury our head in the sand and ignore it? And “the politics of hate & division?” You might want to be careful tossing this one out there. Some of us are beginning to think more and more that this is being fostered by the progressive leadership to keep the masses from really thinking for themselves. A rally cry that has become lost in the politics. Sort of like the communist leadership in the Russian revolution promising a future of prosperity for the common worker and then after the revolution the common worker is just as poor as ever (or even poorer) and dependent upon the politicians that claimed they were for their cause…. And I think many of those politicians really thought this was the way of the future to help their people and their nation, but I want to illustrate that many of us are becoming skeptical that those wave the rally cry of racism are really those who can/will get us beyond this ill in our society. Even as a father, I thought it was interesting that the first time our daughter saw a black man, she pointed him out and called him, “colored.” I was embarrassed. But I knew the only way she knew of him as colored was one of two possibilities. One, in innocence, she thought of him as colored as she might color with a marker on her own skin. Or she may have thought of him as colored because someone taught her so. She is only three so I have to wonder which it is. Only with time and observation will I make a judgment call on this. I don’t want to make her default to racism because in my panic over her comment I assumed the worst of her, a three year old child. Instead, I will wait and see which it is. If she is comparing it the markers/crayons sort of coloring, then I don’t think I have much to fear except to teach her that this is normal and healthy. If someone taught her some form of racism, I may have harsh words/thoughts for that person even if that means some harsh personal reflection.

      “Was his statement in keeping with the spirit of HOW WE ALL felt on 9/12?” This question seems completely out of place among the others. Are you referring to how we all came together ignoring race, creed, or political affiliation after what was apparently a blatant attack upon the nation we live in? In this scenario, we had a common perceived enemy. For the common good, we united. Although we may disagree about how we should live, we all generally agree on the right to live.

      “Or were his comments inflammatory BY DESIGN to further a personal agenda, and/or to strengthen his appeal to the fringe elements of the Tea Party?” Only Newt Gingrich can answer this. All we can do is guess. It all depends on purpose/objective. If you believed the way to save someone in burning build is by crying out, “FIRE,” would you? Or would you just be silent? Or would you choose to throw gasoline on the fire? Or maybe you would run for a water bucket/hose? So, it is possible that this is just for political gain. Or it could be that like many of us, he thinks he is crying out “fire” to what he thinks is people in a burning building. As I wrote, we can only guess at his actual motivations here.

      I have never felt this country so divided as I do right now. The left has so ingrained in their followers minds that conservatives are racist, homophobe, evil, old, etc… The large majority of Conservatives are none of these (of course there will be some – just like some flaming liberals who hate everything that America stands for, but that’s not the majority. Or is it? Anyway…) but Obama and Gibbs and the rest of his entourage perpetuate this myth and do nothing to help unite us. Obama has done more to divide this country between left and right, rich and poor, black and white, homosexual and heterosexual, etc… Any comment made by anyone that goes against what Obama thinks is deemed a racist remark. Or homophobic. Or anti-Islam.

      So please don’t question what Gingrich is doing to unite the country when the POTUS is dividing us further and further everyday. The tension in this country is thick and it’s because of Obama and Gibbs and the rest of the Progressives in the White House. This is a question you need to ask Mr. Arrogant, Mr. Elitist.

      Also, why is that whenever someone deals with the facts (Obama‘s father’s paper) and makes a statement regarding them that is not positive to the President’s “image” (because that’s all it is), it comes back to a topic other than the original? Topic: Obama’s father is flaming socialist. Liberal Spin: Newt bringing up birther thing (not) and not uniting country. It’s those damn facts. They keep getting in the way of people’s feelings and emotions.

      Look, I love my misguided brothers and sisters on the lunatic fringes of both sides of the isle but until we the voters reclaim the political system from the millionaires and begin dictating to Washington what they need to do as our representatives rather than them dictating to us what is best for us this country will continue to fall apart.

      We need to demand facts from the media and not opinions. We need to demand that our representatives represent our best interests and not their own and we need to recognize that the progressives are people with the same ultimate desires as the Conservatives and that we just have different visions of how we are going to attain them. It doesn’t make them evil or us evil.

      I know the answer, do you?
      ——————————————————————————

      The answer is that Obama needs to be exposed as what he is in order to help America rid ourselves of him. This will be the greatest gift we can get. Clinically, Obama is a sociopathic narcissist without the ability to relate empathetically with other people. (If you doubt me, look at his speech pattern, tone, and body language during his 9/11 address) Because of his psychological disability, he genuinely thinks that he can do no wrong, and whatever he does to acheive his goals is A OK, He has an inability to see anything morally wrong about saying and acting any way that advances his agenda.

      It‘s also funny that you say that Newt’s words of truth are divisive. No one has been more divisive than Obama. He has injected racism and class warfare at every opportunity in order to advance his agenda. Again, he has a psychological inability to see this as wrong. This is also evident in how he reacts to people who disagree with him.

      Obama may be a charming fellow, but most narcissists are. From a physiolgical standpoint, if he had one gene out of place he would probably fit the profile of a serial killer. As it is, he is just a cold, narcissistic man who, in his eyes, can do no wrong. He does not belong being the President.

      Now it seems like we elect liars, cheaters, thieves, and all sort of crooks. Not only do we elect them, but we reelect them year after year even after they’ve been caught scheming, cheating, lying, and so forth.

      ALL of these groups have been hoodwinked and brought into the Mr. Change-O’s spiderweb of CON.
      He pats them on the back, smiles, waves, and strokes their ego while placating their fears with grandiose promises of righting some wrongs for that group he is trying to align with.
      Why aligning?
      Duh, so he can usurp their power into his bag. He has literally “BAGGED” all these groups of anti-USA feelings to use it to destroy the USA from within.

      It explains why he is doing things that are so contrary to common sense.
      His is not a plan to save America.
      His is not a plan to put America back to work.
      His is not a plan to help put our financial house in order.
      His plan is to do the exact OPPOSITE.
      His plan is to destroy America.

      He is a terrorist in the Whitehouse…and all the aforementioned groups he has CONNED are too stupid…or blind by choice…to even see it!

      And even if some are now getting an inkling that they have been duped…their pride of being CONNED…won’t allow them to pull away or expose the CON.

Don’t just listen to the rhetoric but research the documented history of those that are saying it. Newt Gingrich is a member of the CFR and should never be allowed to hold any government office again. No one that is a member of the CFR should ever be allowed to hold a public office. Glenn Beck has not touched the subject of the CFR because his boss, Rupert Murdoch, is a member of the CFR. Research the history and goals of the CFR. It is for the destruction of the U.S.A. – for the elimination of the U.S. Constitution, Bill of Rights and the sovereignty of our great country.

      He’s always right. I think President Gingrich is coming because he is the only contender who can intelligently and passionately highlight Obama’s destructive, communist values, outside of Beck.

      Tell it like it is, Obama’s communist back ground explains a lot, so let the truth be known. Gibbs and the lame stream media, frankly at this point are irrelevant!

      I believe Newt is right, Obama is hiding behind lies, but lies can only hide for so long. His fathers Dream.

      Newt knows what‘s up and he’s been doing his homework…I hope he’s teaching the people around him. Gibbs will lie through his teeth and dodge any question to keep the White House secrets. I just heard an ABC news clip with Obama going after Boehner again. Just like this clip, they are laying groundwork very thick for some future attacks. Man these guys play dirty, don’t they?

      This explains so many things that he has done which seem inexplicable.
      With a world view that is fundamentally different, even opposed to the American republican ideals, it’s no wonder so many of us are astounded at some of his boneheaded decisions!

      The intellectual tradition is one of servility to power, and if I didn‘t betray it I’d be ashamed of myself.

      I read the full text of Dinesh D‘Souza’s article in Forbes. It is well worth the time to read it if you want to further understand Obama. Glenn has been on the right track all along. Now we have another voice that helps pull back the curtain. We are now getting to see the full image of the man.

      Rewatch and watch again. Robert Gibs does not actually answers the reporter’s questions!!! … Why do they aways get away with this? He doesnt answer Yes or No with a follow up to explain, he yaps with “I think…” and steers away from answering.

      @Beckofile – And one telling piece I thought, was that the book’s title was “Dreams FROM my father” not “Dreams OF my father”. Two completely different meanings, but most of us think the name is the latter, and so misunderstand entirely.
