Even more important to me than Senator Obama’s Muslim background is his psychological background. And yet, in this land of punditry, no one seems interested in exploring this aspect of his personality or should I say his persona.
It seems to me that he has been abandoned by both his birth parents, first his Kenyan father and subsequently his American mother, then separated from his male Indonesian parent. I cannot imagine that these experiences have not caused some level of psychological infirmity.
When I watch his public poses, chin elevated and staring off into the far distance, I see a little bit of Castro and/or Hitler. When I listen to his snappish responses, I sense a reservoir of anger that someday will bubble up to the surface. When I see him without his tele-prompter, I see a man who knows he is in deep water not knowing how to swim. When I think about someone who has participated in the Saul Alinsky “community organizing,” or manipulation if you will, I wonder what is really in the back of his mind.
