Who do I think Obama is? I think he’s an intelligent guy who was born with a silver spoon in his mouth, an insatiable curiosity, a powerful personal magnetism and a victim mentality. The first four (intelligence, wealth, curiosity and magnetism) led to his Presidency. The fifth (his victim’s attitude) may ruin us all.

As I see it Barack has led a butterfly’s life up till now, flitting from flower to pretty flower sampling from whatever attracted his attention moment to moment. A little drug testing here, a bit of politicking there, a touch of black liberation theology and a dab of communist ideology; committed to nothing but absorbing everything. He never lit long enough to collate his experiences and become a unified Barack. That is why we have not been able to figure out who he is. He hasn’t figured it out himself.

Now he must. And we’re all on pins and needles.
