Manchurian President of the United States?



Why is President Obama So Popular
 Among Most Americans Despite
 Being Labeled A ‘Outsider’?
During the campaign for his first term in office despite distortions of his words and alliances, a majority of registered voters identified with his theme of “hope and change.” He symbolized a post-racial America that young college-educated  whites, African-Americans and Hispanic Americans wanted to believe-in. Obama maintains such popularity among these same groups into the 2012 election despite the efforts by his Republican opponents to vilify him.
The Obama team believes that the stronger the president is seen as empathetic to the needs and interest of the voters, his favorability would remain high and resulting popularity will translate into votes that would be most beneficial to the largest segment of the population. It is true that likeability is positively correlated with political favorability and base of support. The stronger a candidate’s or incumbent’s base of support the easier it is to raise more campaign dollars than your opponent prior to the Citizens United decision. This decision by conservative Supreme Court made attracting dollars from the corporate elite more significant than meeting the needs the majority.
Chances or probability to acquire or sustain a political office is higher for any candidate who raises more campaign dollars. At least, 94 percent of the office holders have out raised and outspent their opponent. Raising more money gives a candidate a greater chance to define his or her opposition as less desirable or unqualified irrespective of the truth. In a post-Citizens United environment, Obama’s opponents, including Super Pacs, are likely to outspend their team by $400 or more million. These opponents have already outspent Democrats in the 2010 midterms and captured the House of Representatives while narrowing the Democratic Party’s majority in the U. S. Senate to stale any or halt White House initiatives. Besides stalling and halting Obama’s initiatives since the midterm elections, opponents in an effort to deny him a second term has heightened their attack on his likeability and political favorability while recruiting Wall Street financial institutions, which formerly supported the elected president. To convince supporters to abandon Obama, they attacked him for not bring the economy back by allowing more freedom and lower taxes on the wealthiest Americans and businesses. Romney (R-MA), a Wall Street businessman, is an insider among the in-group elite that corporate America feels more comfort with and trust. They believe he is more empathetic towards their quest for wealth and sustainability. In addition, Obama’s opponents are seeking a pro-business Congress that would secure their aspirations respecting profits, income, wealth, and global hegemony.

Obama and the Rise of Identity Politics



The Rise of Identity Politics and
 Nativism Among Conservatives
The opponents and supporters are looking through the self-identification prism respecting Obama and political figures throughout the nation’s history. A wide range of class, regional, ethnic, racial, religious and other identifications are involved in long-term partisan commitments, short-term movements of political opinion, and “wedge issues” that drive voters from one candidate and party to its opponents. Polarization respecting these variables depends on the condition of the economy. The nation is now experiencing this polarization as the economy is slowly recovering from the worst economic downturn since the Great Depression. Each group is demanding a larger return on their taxes.
Those with the highest means and taxes are demanding the greatest relief through conservative politician and austerity programs being offered by the Republican Party. Those with the least means among the working class and poor are using the social safety net to save them from hunger, homelessness, and deprivation due to prolonged unemployment beyond the payment of benefits. With their health needs beyond their means, they needed more government assistance from legislators whose campaigns are financed by those demanding tax relief and smaller government.
Identity politics has driven conservatism since the sixties. The Reagan conservative revolution was built on attracting Democrats to the Republican Party in pursuit of policies designed to stagnate racial progress by non-whites, particularly blacks (African-Americans) and browns (Latino) populations. Democrats demand for economic justice and fairness was rechanneled into ensuring that non-whites are not or less subsidized by white taxpayers. Ethnocentrism, nativism, and racial resentment built the Republican base of voters, politicians and its conservative ideology (Douthat, 2012).
Nativism among the established or dominant group heightens when there is a surge of immigration, particularly during times when the economy is stagnant. The dominant group in the United States has been White Anglo-Saxon Protestants (WASP) by the force of their arms, institutions, and wealth-building institutions from the inception of the nation. Nativism is the political position of demanding a favored status for the established or dominant inhabitants of a nation as compared to fair treatment of out-group members or immigrants (Entzinger, Martiniello & Wendon, 2004).

Is Obamacare Big Government?



Spending Money Like
A Drunken Sailor?
Last but not least, President Obama has been labeled as the most dangerous “tax and spend” Democrat to hold the highest office in the nation. Obama’s critics stress that once Obamacare is fully enacted job creators will be billed for generous subsidies to purchase health insurance and increases Medicaid from at least 17 new taxes or penalties imposed to rise over $501 billion. They argue that this kind of spending and taxes will not reduce but actually increase the government’s deficit presently in the tens of trillions. These critics state that the impact of Obamacare over ten years as reported by the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCJ) is but “a tip of the iceberg.” They believe it will cost $4 trillion in higher taxes to pay for Obamacare as estimated by the Joint Economic Committee (JEC) that is three times greater than what JCJ estimated and White House’s relied upon (Senger, 2012).
To stress taxes that will be extracted from the economy, critics of the Affordable Care Act identified the following taxes and cost which will have to be paid by 2019:
·         Hospital Insurance Tax, $210 billion.
·         Mandate Penalties, $65 billion
·         Health Insurance Provider Fee, $60 billion
·         Cadillac Tax, $32 billion
·         Prescription Drug Fees, $27 billion
·         Ethanol Tax, $24 billion
·         Medical Device Tax, $20 billion
·         Business Regulation Cost, $TBA
·         Reducing Medical Deductions, $15 billion
·         FSA Limits, $13 billion (Ibid).
Critics believe Obama would mortgage the future wages of hard-working American families and businesses for job destroying entitlements and subsidies. The taxes transferred from private hands, they argue, to fund Obamacare would stymie economic growth. Money would flow from more efficient market-based allocations to the least efficient means. In addition, work and savings would be discouraged when higher tax rates decrease the incentives for individuals to work and save more, both of which are essential for economic growth (Dubay, 2011).

Are We Ruled by Shapeshiftring Aliens From Matrix?



Some exo-theorist and bloggers believe that the nation’s first African-American president and the pharaoh who established monotheism in Egypt are aliens or their “avatar” hybrids. A blogger, code name thejcrevelator2, used the following to question Obama’s humanity and concluded that he was born on the planet Matrix and teleported to Earth to dominate us. Alleged evidence presented that our president is an extraterrestrial includes the following:
·         Birth place is in dispute;
·         “Out of this world” left-handed jump shot;
·         Likes his enemies and wants to be their friend;
·         Does not hate anyone;
·         Always smiling regardless of the madness in his midst;
·         Appears to be enjoying a private joke no one else is aware of;
·         Seems not to care when many others call him out-of-his-name in the most derogatory terms;
·         Does not hate gays and Muslims; and,
·         Not ideological or overly partisan (Hub Pages, 2012).
Other exo-theorist, like Russell Huebsch and David Icke, claim that President Obama may be a shape shifting reptilian overlord from Alpha Draconis. The reptilians Obama represents, according to these authors, live in a far away galaxy. They brought Obama and other world leaders to Earth to enslave the human race. Allegedly, these reptilian leaders are bent on forming a “New World Order” to enforce their non-human control of our civilization. Reptilians, according to the authors, feed on human fear and negative emotions, they stirred-up. The change, according to these exo-theorists, is that the name Obama may actually be a code word for subliminally electing this alleged shape shifter as president. Obama is seen as much of a change agent as Hitler, Stalin, and Mussolini that led to the loss of tens of millions of lives and genocide of 6 million Jews (Huebsch, 2009). Other exo-theorist believe that all of humanity actually has an extraterrestrial origin initiated by Reptilians and Greys who have genetically,  religiously, and developmentally  intervened in our past and present in our to direct our future (Jimerson, 2012).

Reincarnation of Akhenaten (Moses) in Obama



Akhenaten, like Obama, was a transformative ruler who left a lasting impression on the world. Obama, like Akhenaten, are of Black African descent. Both have spurred controversy among the religious authorities of their time. Akhenaten fostered monotheism upon the realm to the angst of high priests who held more power and wealth than he did (Auld, 2009). Obama is controversial as a threat to the power and wealth of those in the upper 1 percent whose hegemony magnified under pay-to-play Republican administrations since Reagan. Titans of industry and big business are pledging to rise over $600 million on Super Pac advertisements to prevent President Obama from winning a second term. The Republicans on the take are working with them to erase the accomplishments of the first African-American president in U. S. history.
Pharaoh Akhenaten, like Obama, was an agent of change. He made some major, but rather short-lived changes to various aspects of Egyptian culture. Both rulers also openly demonstrated their love for children. They showed their personal and intimate side and family scenes in the public in an unprecedented manner. This openness portrayed them as a more human and naturalistic than their predecessors and challengers. Akhenaten and Obama also demonstrated charisma as world leaders and peacemakers.
 Both President Obama and Pharaoh Akhenaten are perceived as androgynous (having both male and female characteristics) by detractors. Akhenaten’s detractors who held this sentiment felt that his slight, famine, appearance; unconventional beliefs; obsession with seven daughters, including matriarchal wife Nefertiti and mother Tyre; and, focus on art, poetry and other aspects of culture threatened the conventional masculine image of pharaohs. Modern physicians that analyze his image believe that the pharaoh’s feminine mystique was the result of a gender mutation that caused his body to convert more male hormones to female hormones than needed (Dominquez, 2008).
In President Obama’s case, he is deemed by Newsweek and its openly gay writer Andrew Sullivan as the nation’s first gay president. Obama is portrayed with a rainbow halo over his head because he knowledge that gay couples should be treated with the same rights and respect as traditional couples (Stableford, 2012). He, like Akhenaten, is labeled as metrosexual, for his conviction in contrast to the pharaoh’s genetic abnormality (See Image 10).

Obama's Czars, Socialism and World Order



Czars, Democratic Socialism, New
World Order and Foreign Loyalties

President Obama has gained a reputation, fostered by smears, as treating the United States like a kingdom run by a political dictator who appoints czars to oversee his totalitarian regime (See Image 8). Republicans accuse Obama of appointing higher-level officials deemed as czars than any other president in the nation’s history. Language was placed into the budget compromise that Obama, House Speaker John Boehner and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid reached that effectively eliminates the czar positions overseeing health care, climate change, the auto industry and urban affairs that do not require Senate confirmation. After signing the legislation with this clause, Obama issued a statement saying he would ignore the prohibition against appointing these czars because this provision of the legislation violates his constitutional authority. In other words, the President has the constitutional right to appoint high-level officials to head any task force, council, policy office within the executive branch “without the advice and consent of the Senate (Fox News, 2011).

Obama's Radicalism & Indoctrination


Conservatives believe that the alleged radicalism of Obama will lead him to violate the 2nd amendment of the U. S. Constitution. They argued that he wants to take away the right to bear arms. Obama, to his foes, is more than willing to use the power of the state to oppress individuals and strip them of their liberties. Therefore, they believe it is logical to assume that President Obama wants to take away the right to bear arms and make it a group right exclusively held by the government. Added to their concerns that he would take this right away is the president’s perceived favoritism as follows:
·   Pitting 95 percent of the population against 5 percent on tax policy.
·   Opposition against nuclear power and free trade.
·   Tendency to raise taxes on the self-employed, job makers, and other Marxist venues.
Obama’s radicalism against the individual right to bear arms goes back to 1999 when he pushed for prohibitions against the operation of any gun store within five miles of a school or park.  This action once approved according to gun rights advocates would eliminate gun stores from most of the inhabited portions of the United States. In 2000, Obama sponsored a bill limiting handgun purchases to one per month. By 2004, as a state senator, he voted against a 2004 measure that allowed self-defense as an affirmative defense to those changed with violating local laws that make it unlawful for such persons to possess firearms. That same year, Obama voted against allowing persons who had obtained domestic violence protective orders to carry handguns for their protection. Once in the U. S. Senate, Obama supported several gun control measures, including restrictions on the purchase of firearms at gun shows and reauthorization of the Federal Assault Weapons Ban. Significantly, he voted against legislation protecting firearm manufacturers from certain liability suits (Ibid).
 Other conservative voices weighed in on the perceived indoctrination speech. Rowley and Laura Ingram compared Obama’s school year address to what Chairman Mao did. The message conveyed; these commentators believe, is that dictators, like Obama, and their totalitarian regimes are saviors of children. To strengthen his argument, Beck connected Obama’s address to Mussolini’s indoctrination and propaganda. On the Fox Nation, the host encouraged the audience to keep your children home the day the speech is made. Chris Stigall filling in for Lou Dobbs told the audience that Obama was trying to mold their children into a discussion and way of thinking that is contrary to family and U. S. values (See Image 7). If parents allow their children to listen to the speech the children, Stigall believes, they would become lackeys of his indoctrination. Russ Limbaugh called the speech indoctrination to the cult of personality used by Kim Jong II and Saddam Hussein. Mark Steyn on the Russ Limbaugh show stated that public education is a useful tool for getting children to be good subjects of big government when they grow up comparable to lessons taught to the young Obama in Chicago by radical William Ayers (Media Matters).

Is Obama a Louis Farrakan of Class Warfare?



TheLouis Farrakhan of Class Warfare

Part of the argument that Obama is outside the American mainstream, a number of conservatives insisted that Obama is a black radical who was raised to hate whites and joined a Black African-centered church. Obama’s attendance, they perceived, encouraged blacks to separate themselves from the rest of the American society. Conservatives believe that black theology manipulates embittered young blacks by turning their feelings of inferiority, alienation, jealousy, hopelessness and self-hatred into racist rage against whites, Orientals and affluent blacks who are conveniently blamed for their lack of personal initiative to better their lot in life. They believe that it is primarily a form of “black on black” racism (Jon, 2008).
Conservatives opposed to Obama tend hold the notion that black theology is a Marxist political belief that emphasizes God’s love of the poor and oppressed to the point of paralyzing and demoralizing them to accept a parasitic life-style dependent on government “handouts” Assistance to the poor and oppressed destroys self-reliance, entrepreneurship and responsibility. Black theology, to these critiques, feeds off of class envy and racial rage. These conservatives believe that black theology and its Obama followers should forsake from spending their time blaming the white man for the black man’s problems and encourage their own to become financially successful through hard work and self-reliance (Ibid).
The black radical caricature used to politically isolate and alienate President Obama stalked his presidency. Sean Hannity tried to tie Obama to a Farrakhan-like black radicalism. In doing so, he tried to enlist Herman Cain in this mission. Cain did not want to either play Hannity’s game or follow his lead. Hannity was trying to sell President Obama as a disciple of division Farrakhan on the basis of class warfare and to a lesser degree race (Newshound, 2012).
According to the right-wing conspiracy theorist opposing Obama, he stole the 2008 by using his radical “foot-soldiers,” namely the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN) and the New Black Panther Party, among others, to register illegal voters and rig the election in his favor (See Image 3). Fox reported that Obama led and directed ACORN’s every move. Besides stealing the election, Fox asserts his ACORN representatives used their “strong-arm tactics” to force banks to make the low-interest housing loans that were defaulted upon and led to the steepest economic stagnation since the Great Depression. They concluded that Obama’s ACORN rather than hedge-fund managers were responsible for the Wall Street implosion of September 2008 (Press, 2012).

Obama and Self-Identification Politics



Identity, Up Bring and Birth

It is obvious that President Barack Hussein Obama is not a sole member of any particular race or ethnic group. As an offspring of a father of African descent and mother of Scottish-American lineage, he reflects the obvious multiracial and multiethnic mix of the rising minority-majority. He is considered a leftist by his enemies on the right that mow encompasses the Republican Party agenda and vocal base. President Obama is considered too centrist or conservative by progressives on his left. Yet, based on the choices provided by “march-in- step” and “no-compromise” position of conservatives who dominate the Republicans, given a choice of “two-evils,” the lesser, centrist Democrats are preferred.
Self-identification politics has been pervasive from the inception of this nation. Race, ethnicity, and gender have been used to determine political access, suffrage, rights, who gets what from government, etc. Anglo-Americans have been the dominant group. The white males in this group solely reflect the founders, titans of industry, leaders of most businesses, politicians, public servants, and professionals, among others. Blacks, Latinos, and women as members of the emerging minority-majority are challenging this monopolization of leadership and power during the 21st century. The barriers to exclude them based on race, ethnicity, and gender were made illegal by Civil Rights laws and decisions of the 50s and 60s. In addition, the rising migration (legal and illegal) of Hispanics coupled with choices by Anglo-American females to delay or reduce chances of birth or abort unwanted fetuses significantly reduced white hegemony and those seeking such privilege.
 Self-identification politics is in a period of reinforcing its ranks and strengthening its dominance over a rising minority-majority. Conservative politicians and supporters are forcing states to impose stringent immigration restrictions which racial profile and intimidate those that are naturalized citizens. They have pressured centrist Democrats to stringently enforce federal laws and arrest of illegal immigrants. The President’s own citizenship or birth has been repeatedly challenged regardless of documentation, to the contrary (See Image 1). Fox News and particularly Steven Doocy and Gretchen Carlson pushed the Insight.Com notion that Obama attended school at a Madrassa which teaches hatred of Westerners. Insight claimed that this notion was disclosed by the Clinton camp. The story was picked up conservative media figures and repeatedly reported on CNN Headline News and Fox News (Media Matters, 2011).
