“And once more I point out that no one has responded to my point about Obama the candidate wishing to imprison Obama the teenager/young adult.”
My interpretation of what you said are always loaded questions from you is that Barack early on was doing a lot of searching about life and himself. His mixed roots, loss of parents and exceptional intelligence was explored for all of us to see in his first book. What he decided to do with his life and his search to find the best way of helping others and himself could get lost in a too ambitious drive to become president. Too much ambition usually results in too many compromises. I see an intense drive in Barack and I do worry that the Beltway disease might overcome him and cause him to negate his steel will to win over those now in power who are ruining our nation. His skill in compromising could be a fatal vulnerability.
He could either become one of our greatest or worst presidents although junior has the market on worst for a long time to come. The thing that could save him and us if he were to become president is his wife Michelle. She is his rock and should be able to guide him on the right path as she has done since she met him. She is the real deal. That is what Iowa voters have learned and why I think he will prevail there. Of course, the voters also know that Edward’s wife is the real deal.
