It's amazing that the Americans elected someone to the post of Most Powerful Man on Earth whom they knew nothing about. I've been puzzled myself by this walking enigma, but after two years, I think I can finally nail him down. Mr Obama is essentially an empty suit. He's a man of only moderate intelligence and very poor education who isn't at all well read. In fact, his ignorance of his own country is nothing less than astounding. He is a man who has enjoyed a lifetime of grooming and patronage and has never had to work hard for anything in his life. He is thin skinned, timid, and (like many timid men) a thug. He is also lazy and a textbook narcissist who cannot abide any criticism.
Mr Obama is not, however, a Manchurian candidate, an anti-colonialist (aside from disdain for his own country and a pathological hatred of Great Britain), nor a firebrand radical. He is a left-wing politician who was weaned on Marxist propaganda since he was in diapers and has grown into a man who is a borderline Communist–at least, he would be if he understood anything about his ideology. He wants things very passionately and his desire to "transform America" is sincere, but he hasn't a clue as to exactly what it is he wants, what he wants to transform America into, nor how to achieve it.
To be blunt, he never matured beyond being a second-year university student and his mindset never left the common room. Some of his critics have described him as professorial. That would be a compliment. He's a professional undergraduate with an unlimited grant.
Great. The Free World is led by Rik from the Young Ones.

To which I would add a pathological hatred of Israel. Not because it is a Jewish state, but because it is an outpost of the "evil, materialistic" West in the "mystical, enlightened" East. Like many sophomores, Obama has an image of a magical Eastern culture born mainly of the Beatles' love affair with the Maharishi. And can't get it through his head that there's a basic difference between India and the Islamic world. I'd tell him to look up the Sepoy Rebellion (and the Boxer Rebellion as well), but he's apparently too busy rereading his two autobiographies to do the homework.

...or planning his next vacation.
Your analysis is in complete accordance with my own.
Where'd you get the pastel in the header of this post? I seem to recognize the hand of the Obama-on-a-Unicorn Painter (fl. right about now). The distortion makes for a particularly powerful image, indicating as it does, that H. Husseinovich tends to melt when exposed to too much hot lights and teleprompter radiation. Also, that the guy can't draw worth filth.
