Mud. Seriously. You're just embarrassing yourself at this point.

I figured they would make up some kind of excuse. Well he got in. Somebody must have let him in. Then Obama got wind of what he was doing and they locked him up, scared the shit out of him. Made him think they were gonna kill him, then deported him.

Re: Obama Building Autocracy Through Intimidation And Smearing The Opposition
Quote:
Corsi went looking for some dirt. He didn't find any so he pointed out to some Kenyan officials that he didn't have the proper papers to be in the country. He was then held until his scheduled flight left the country thus avoiding an embarrassing press conference where he knew that he would be subject to ridicule because of his lack of anything substantive. Since he has had plenty of time since he left Kenya to disclose what he found and since he has said nothing, I suspect that is exactly what he uncovered. My explanation is made up but at least it has the benefit of correlating with the facts. |

Re: Obama Building Autocracy Through Intimidation And Smearing The Opposition
There is absolutely no doubt that Obama views himself not as merely the 44th President but as a trancendental figure with a budding mandate to take America in whatever direction he wants. I have little doubt that he will use his lawyerly training to manipulate the edges of constitutional law in ways that will undermine the opposition and entrench his liberal policies. He's taking power during an economic crisis, with a supermajority in Congress, and I'm sure we'll see moves from Obama that rival those of FDR during his megalomania period. It wouldn't shock me if they revisit FDRs idea of enlarging the Supreme Court so as to pack it with liberals, just as they're already promising the unconstitutional move of giving DC voting representatives in Congress in order to add 2 more Senators to their majority.
The first test for Obama will be how quickly he moves to repeal the USA PATRIOT Act. This has been a bugaboo of the left for 7 years, a major talking point during his left-wing courtship. Will he keep his promises to MoveOn.org and endanger the lives of Americans, or will he govern responsibly and use the emminently reasonable powers of that Act aggressively in order to keep us safe. How loudly will MoveOn.org squeal when the act isn't repealed within the first 100 days? |

In any case, the main mandate Obama will have will be to take action on the economy and to pull our troops out of Iraq. On this I'm sure he'll deliver. Any other parts of what you perceive as "the left's agenda" are more uncertain. |

By far the most strongly anti-Patriot act candidate in the primaries was a Republican. (And I'm all for repealing it, but I'm fairly doubtful that Obama will.) |

Indeed, he's actually from a different social grouping from Obama-a different 'sub-tribe' if you will-and the links through the fact he comes from the same area as Obamas uncle (who Obama himself has little contact with).

![]() I suppose you think Obama has no pull in Kenya ether. Quote:
I was stationed in Somalia for almost a year. Tribal leaders are treated like royalty. We would show up at some stinking mud-pit of a village in the middle of nowhere and within minutes a guy with the whitest shirt I ever saw would show up and identify himself as chief or tribal leader. I wondered where he got that shirt from. We were about 200 miles from the nearest modern laundry service. But that shirt was a symbol of his importance. I suppose you're going to try to tell me there are no thugs in charge of governments in the African continent? Don't waste my time MATE.

Re: Obama Building Autocracy Through Intimidation And Smearing The Opposition
In Africa tribal ties are everything. Their lives are centered around their tribal chief and their tribe. They hold the important members of their tribe in high regard.
Often disputes between tribal leaders become wholesale disputes between tribes. This was the problem in Moghadishu in 93' when I was there and still is today. Today Al Qaeda has a strong hold there. Muslims are killing Christians in the Sudan and there is outright genocide going on. Did you know that many of the slaves that came from Africa hundreds of years ago were tribal members sold into slavery by their chiefs because they wouldn't convert to Islam?

Re: Obama Building Autocracy Through Intimidation And Smearing The Opposition
I wonder why everyone got so quiet since I brought this story into focus?
Could it be that it makes Obama look like just another despot with despot relatives? Could it be that Obama intends on turning America into an Autocracy or a dictatorship or if given a chance totally change this country regardless of what the Constitution says? Yesterday an audiotape surfaced from 2001 where Obama was talking about how terrible it was the Supreme Court wasn't able to help him turn this country into France. And that's putting it nicely. I think he wants to steal from earners and give the stolen money to friends to further their goals. 'Camp Obama' Trains Campaign Volunteers : NPR He intends on giving scraps to poor minorities but he wants to give money to people like Raila Odinga to help him solidify his hold on the government. American Thinker Blog: Obama 2001: Scrap the Constitution, spread the wealth I think he wants to take away our freedom of speech. He's already trying to do this to any private citizen or journalist that criticizes him by using corrupt government officials and the media to destroy them. These people work for us. We don't work for them but Obama feels we do. His mindset is that we don't earn our money, we earn the governments money. He's just allowing us to keep some of it.
