I'm sorry to say that I don't think he knows who he is. That's why so many of us don't know who he is. So we have to paint a picture of him in our minds of who he is. Strong men with strong moral character know who they are and can easily allow who they are to be transparent. I think he's Anti American but doesn't even know it himself. He hides behind the Constitution leading many to believe he understands it and represents what it stands for.

Many said that was what hope and change was all about. He never said what hope was or what kind of change so people could fill in the blanks.

I'm mixed on this one. On the one hand I'd say he's pro America, he just has a vision for America that I can't support or even stomach. On the other hand, I know what the word "amen" means in the context of sitting in a church saying it after (or during) a sermon. I have a hard time even picturing someone sitting in a church most sundays for 20 years listening to a good friend calling the US all sorts of vile names, and never once saying "amen" to any of it. If he ever said "amen" to one of that racist idiot, Rev. Wright's anti US bildge, then he has sealed himself as Anti US all the same.

Neither, is my opinion. He's pro Obama lol Regardless of where he is, he goes out his way to cater to whomever he's speaking. He habitually steps on the toes of the minority to bow to the majority. For example, liberals and other Obama supporters laugh at patriotic Americans that say Obama should have saluted the flag (the pin was just the icing on the cake). But because he could take the opportunity to play on anti-American sentiment--here and elsewhere around the world--he was pro Obama! If Bush was leaving office with a 84% approval rating, you better believe Obama woulda draped himself in the flag for the republican/conservative/patriotic vote. I would say he was anti-American if his rhetoric was always as horrific as it was in Europe. But, again, this was a pro Obama move. He bad-mouthed America to score points. But when he's here in the States and needs to rally support for his questionable policies, he's all about helping lift and build America's "true spirit." I really believe he loves America at the root of everything. The rest of the world is in love with him, not because he's Barack Obama, but because he's Barack Obama in America. If he were a Frenchman or a German, what sort of influence would he have? He's an American celebrity -- the rest of the world choose to love or hate our celebrities. I think he's trying to change America into a country that's wholly unlike anything we've ever experienced. But as far as the idea of America goes, he's head over heels in love with it. He's anti-capitalist, anti-free market, anti-personal responsiblity for anyone without money, anti-traditional values, anti-national defense, and anti-difference of opinion. I think this makes him one of, if not the single-most radically left president America's ever had. But I truly believe he loves the country... even though he may only see it as a piece of land serving as a means toward an end.

I would have to agree he is all about President Obama. He reads and reacts to the polls and tries to play both ends against the middle. He will release the memos on torture but not the photos. He is also silent on releasing the memos of what we got by using enhanced integrations. He is very concerned with keeping his popularity up.

Have you ever read "Behold a Pale Horse" by William Cooper? Take that all in and then maybe come up with a decision.
