(11,064 posts)He may have learned a lesson in his early life which we never considered. (I, too, was an early enthusiastic supporter. But I completely overlooked a factor from his early background. Now it seems obvious.)
His book, Dreams from My Father, was focused on by him as indicating lessons that influenced him.
Those who became British colloborators in Kenya became rich. Reportedly, his grandfather Onyango Obama was known to have a favorite saying, "If you do a good job for the white man, then he will always pay you well." Although Obama did not describe him with affection in his book, he did not reject that philosophy.
Whenever you want to understand what Obama is going to do, don't look to the traditional policies of the Democratic Party and his role as a professional Democrat (D), don't look at the Constitution and his role as a constitutional scholar, don't look to the laws and his role as a lawyer, don't look to the poverty in American and his role as a community organizer.
Instead, look at what the international super-rich want. Some of the banksters that received our money aren't even American banksters.
What the international super-rich want, he is going to deliver.
