Right Pulse

I’ve been listening to an interview between Mark Steyn and Hugh Hewitt about Barack Obama’s rather self absorbed book: Dreams From My Father. It is a recount of Obama’s life and family history. One of the interesting points is Obama’s attempts to paint himself as a disadvantaged under privileged individual, when in reality he was born to mixed race parents in Kenya (no African slavery past here) and attended some of the better educational institutions in the USA.

He speaks about his early desire to extricate the whiteness from himself, like Malcolm X before him, and how he felt like a “spy behind enemy lines” while working for a NY finance corporation (gee…what does that say about his commitment to the free market); About taking drugs and seeking to avoid the mainstream while at University. Well I am thinking there is nothing mainstream about attending the University of Chicago or Harvard, even without the drugs, hippie outfit and socialist dogma.

It sounds a lot like a 21st Century yuppie version of the USA Presidential log cabin campaign of 1840. ‘I’m not a white man, vote for me!’
