Barack Obama: Grand Caliph of Islam?

The American people are understandably curious
about Barack Obama’s appointment of political hack
Ron Klain as his Ebola Response Coordinator. So
exactly who is Ron Klain and how can Obama be so
blithely indifferent to criticism of the Klain
appointment?
Klain joined the Clinton presidential campaign in
1992 and, upon joining the White House staff in
January1993, was put in charge of overseeing
Clinton’s judicial selections. In that capacity, he
led the effort to win Senate confirmation of Supreme
Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg.
During the 2000 election campaign he served as
general counsel for Al Gore’s Florida recount
committee. As such, he was up to his eyeballs in the
scheme to get the Democrat-dominated Florida Supreme
Court, which had absolutely no jurisdiction in the
matter, to order recounts in only the four most
heavily Democratic counties in the state. He also
played a role in the cynical effort to have county
election board officials across Florida invalidate
the absentee ballots of overseas military personnel
on minor technicalities related to date stamps and
delivery dates.
In 2011, in spite of concerns that the solar-panel
company Solyndra was not a viable investment, Klain
played a major role in getting Obama to visit the
Clermont, California facility, even though he was
aware that, if Obama visited 10 such “green energy”
plants during the next 10 months of his campaign, a
few of them would go “belly-up” by Election Day.
Nevertheless, Obama sunk more than $500,000 of the
taxpayers’ money into Solyndra… all of it lost to
bankruptcy.
Why would Obama make such an appointment when Klain
has absolutely no background in medicine and
wouldn’t know the difference between Asian flu and
Ebola? We have only two choices: either Obama is
completely “tone deaf,” politically, or he has a
hidden agenda and simply doesn’t care what anyone
thinks of him as he pursues that agenda.
In an October 19 editorial for the New York Post,
writer Michael Goodwin suggests that, “(I)t will
take a miracle worker to restore Obama’s
credibility. While there are many things to say
about his tenure, the one thing you cannot say is
that the nation trusts him. Poll after poll, on
subject after subject, shows a collapse.
Consistently now, a majority of Americans say Obama
is not trustworthy. Most think he’s a failure, many
say he is incompetent, and the vast bulk… 70 percent
in some cases… say his key policies are wrong for
America. He is so unpopular that members of his own
party don’t want to be seen with him, lest his
failures spawn a political plague.”
Is Obama capable of feeling shame or embarrassment?
We have overwhelming evidence to the contrary. For
example, during his 2008 campaign, he made the claim
that he had campaigned in at least 57 states. When
political commentators laughed and reminded him that
the U.S. has only 50 states, he didn’t seem to care.
He was not embarrassed and simply shrugged off the
criticism.
In a June 2009 speech before the American Medical
Association, Obama proclaimed, “If you like your
doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor.
Period! If you like your health care plan, you will
be able to keep your health care plan. Period! No
one will take it away, no matter what.” Subsequent
events have proven that to be a lie, but he didn’t
care. He knew his low-information voter base would
take his word as gospel, so the lie served its
purpose.
In April 2011, Obama publicly announced that his
long form birth certificate had been uploaded to the
White House website. He was fully aware that the
document in question was a poorly crafted forgery,
but he didn’t care. He was not embarrassed by the
deception and has spent millions of dollars on
lawyers, fighting every attempt to unearth his true
identity.
On September 25, 2012, just fourteen days after the
terrorist attack on a U.S. diplomatic facility in
Benghazi, Obama addressed the United Nations General
Assembly. In his prepared remarks, he said, “In
every culture, those who love freedom for themselves
must ask themselves how much they’re willing to
tolerate freedom for others. And that is what we saw
play out in the last two weeks, where a crude and
disgusting video sparked outrage throughout the
Muslim world. Now, I have made it clear that the
United States government had nothing to do with this
video, and I believe its message must be rejected by
all who respect our common humanity. It is an insult
not only to Muslims, but to America as well.”
Obama spoke those words before diplomats
representing every nation on Earth, knowing that
they were untrue. But, again, he didn’t care. His
low-information voter base was reassured that he
knew what he was saying and that what he said had to
be true because he said it The list of his “in your
face” deceptions and outright lies is endless, but
it doesn’t seem to bother him. He is not embarrassed
by them and takes no responsibility for them.
What is clear is that, after nearly six years of
observing Obama in office, it is impossible to make
the case that he is politically “tone deaf.” Unlike
every president before him, party politics is the
motivating factor behind everything he does. So the
question arises, if Obama is not politically “tone
deaf,’ then why has he never cared what the American
people think of him?
In Islam there is a tenet called “Taqiyya” which
allows devout Muslims to lie to infidels, even to
the point of denying their faith in Allah, so long
as the lie inures to the benefit of Islam. Could it
be his obedience to the concept of Taqiyya that
causes Obama to be so indifferent to the truth? If
not, how else could he lie so consistently and so
frequently with no apparent regret or remorse?
When Obama leaves office in January 2017, he will be
just 55 years, 6 months, and 16 days old, a
relatively young man, but a man burdened by an acute
case of narcissistic personality disorder. The
psychiatric division of the Mayo Clinic defines
narcissistic personality disorder as “a mental
disorder in which people have an inflated sense of
their own importance and a deep need for admiration.
Those with narcissistic personality disorder believe
that they are superior to others and have little
regard for other people’s feelings. But behind this
mask of ultra-confidence lies a fragile self-esteem,
vulnerable to the slightest criticism.”
No one could ever compose a more accurate word
picture of Barack Obama. And since he is far too
ambitious and far too narcissistic to take a lesser
job than president of the United States when he
leaves office, then what could he possibly have in
mind? Allow me to venture a guess.
If we are to believe Obama, he was born on August 4,
1961 to an American mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, and
a Kenyan father, Barack Obama, Sr. Inasmuch as his
father was a British subject, a citizen of British
East Africa, otherwise known as Kenya, Obama was
born with dual US-British citizenship by descent
from his father and his mother.
Following Kenya’s independence from Great Britain on
December 12, 1963, all those holding British
citizenship as a result of their Kenyan roots,
including Obama and his father, became citizens of
the Republic of Kenya. However, because the 1963
Kenyan constitution did not recognize permanent dual
citizenship, and since Obama had never renounced his
American citizenship, he lost his Kenyan citizenship
on August 4, 1984, his 23rd birthday.
But then, during fiscal year 2010, Obama contributed
some $24 million in U.S. foreign aid funds in
support of a “yes” vote on a new Kenyan
constitution. The people of Kenya approved the new
constitution on August 4, 2010 (Obama’s 49th
birthday) and he was once again a citizen of Kenya,
eligible to run for president. Chapter 3, Section 14
of the 2010 constitution establishes a category of
citizenship called “citizen by birth.” That section
of the 2010 constitution provides that, “A person is
a citizen by birth if on the day of the person’s
birth, whether or not the person is born in Kenya,
either the mother or father of the person is a
citizen (of Kenya).”
Understanding that Obama is motivated by little else
than delusions of grandeur, how could such a man
ever be happy in any position in which he was not
the center of attention, worshipped and adored by
people around the world? So what could Obama
possibly do that would allow him to carve out a
niche for himself in world history greater than the
presidency of the United States?
Allow me to suggest that, after spending eight years
attempting to “fundamentally transform” the
greatest, most powerful nation on Earth, and doing
great damage to the nation in the process, it is
entirely possible that Obama will relocate to Kenya
and run for president of that east African nation.
But the presidency of Kenya is far too humble a
position for Obama. He is a man who thinks in
nothing but the most grandiose terms.
Instead, I would venture a guess that, given his
popularity among black Africans and with Muslims
around the world, his long term agenda would have
him uniting all of sub-Saharan Africa, all of Muslim
north Africa, and most of the Islamic nations of the
Middle East into one massive Islamic caliphate… with
Obama, himself, as Grand Caliph for Life.
Impossible you say? Perhaps. But I would argue that
what I suggest is no more far-fetched than the
notion that an inexperienced, pot-smoking, cocaine
sniffing, America-hating, black agitator from
Chicago… a man whose only discernible talent is the
ability to read someone else’s words from a
teleprompter and make them sound convincing… could
plan and implement a career path that would take him
from a racially-oriented “community organizer” scam
in south Chicago to president of the United States
in just 12 short years.
That just couldn’t happen, could it?
