Oleg, excellent analysis of Obama’s being frozen in pro-Soviet Union, 1980-s American lefty views – I’ll take the liberty to add a couple of other observation here:

1) One is the funny fact that his views appear even in his lies – nobody knows whatever he did at Columbia in the 80-s, but the title/topic of one of his imaginary thesis there is… “US-Soviet Union Nuclear Disarmament Issues”, the American dominance in the domain at that time haunting the left-wingers across the world.

2) Secondly, albeit Obama opportunistically sells himself as an MLK/ Selma March activist (man, for someone who spent all his formative years in Indonesia and in Hawaii where rarely a lily white oppressor, the connection with the Watts riots or Alabama tobacco plantations is a very tenuous one), he is actually a Patrick Lumumba, post-colonial type, 3rd. world Spartacus.
And here comes the funny side of this too – again, the title/topic of his second imaginary Columbia thesis is… North-South Relationships In The Post Colonial World” …

Talking about Matrix and virtual reality – still, while Obama is clearly a majestic fraud, the fact that so far has managed to capture the good will of many people of integrity is very alarming.
