Who IS Barrack Obama?

I don't know if any of you noticed but Obama had a celebrity fundraiser back when he was campaigning. What you may have also noticed is that it was kept in the dark. If you got wind of it you were lucky.
Now that the campaign is over and he's won the presidency the celebrities are coming out of the woodwork. Our favorite, Susan Sarandon, is one of them.She was the one that was going to leave the country if Bush were elected. Evidently she didn't.Of course if she had been serious at all we'd have packed her bags and bought her the airline tickets.I'd have been glad to start a non profit for her cause;HELP SUSAN LEAVE THE COUNTRY.
This is just the tip of the iceberg. A deeper and more troubling aspect to Obama is the mythology.I want to ask the question;Who IS Obama?
You see Obama doesn't know who Obama is.
He has no core principles or values to take to the oval office.
His policies(or lack of)are fly by night platitudes.
He lacks character. The President can have policies but he also has to have character and few ppl cared.

To the radical left wing he is a radical left wing idealouge.
To the conservative Republicans he is a centrist.Then he got Hilary to back him(with the promise of a position)and he grabbed the majority of Puma's.
So does anyone really know what Obama is going to do once he takes the oath of office?
We know he's going to close Gitmo.He said so.He's throwing that bone to the leftists.
He picked Gates to head the Dept of Defense and threw out that bone;but look at his other appointments!
"President-elect Barack Obama’s new head of the Office of Legal Counsel in the Justice Department, Dawn Johnsen, called the legal reasoning which gave the president broad powers to authorize “rough” interrogation of terrorists “shockingly flawed…bogus…outlandish.” She said it allowed “horrific acts” and demanded to know “Where is the outrage? The public outcry?” This is the person who will decide how to interrogate terrorists. If she errs on the side of weakening methods of questioning, there’s no chance her boss, Eric Holder the new Attorney General, will reverse her. He approved of the Clinton/Reno “wall” preventing intelligence from finding out what criminal investigators had found out and took the lead in pardoning the FALN terrorists."

OBAMA IS EMASCULATING INTELLIGENCE

His pov on gay marriage?

"A 1996 questionnaire shows that Barack Obama changed his view on same-sex marriage, the Chicago media outlet Windy City Times reports.

The newspaper -- Chicago's oldest gay and lesbian publication -- posted a copy of the document on its Web site Wednesday, claiming that Obama stated his support for gay marriage in a questionnaire answered during the 1996 Illinois Senate race.

The questionnaire was distributed by the Outlines newspaper to all candidates seeking an elected office that year, the Web site reports.

The president-elect reportedly wrote on the survey that, "I favor legalizing same-sex marriage" -- a statement that runs contrary to Obama's stance during the presidential campaign, during which he expressed his opposition to gay marriage but support for civil unions."

Remember Saddleback where he said it plain as day?
Marriage is the union of one man/one woman.

So which is it?
Obama sold his myth based on a historical presidency. The first African American President. This is certainly something to celebrate but it's going to come down to more than race in the end.One day you have to look at Obama and judge him not as the first black president but AS President.


You know what we're really going to get with Obama?
WIndmills from sea to shining sea.This is so he can blow his hot air around.
Dreams are what this country was made of but let's not forget the hard work and VALUES upon which it was founded either. Dreams only get you so far.Sooner or later you have to get your head out of the clouds or here:
air dreams country forget work values founded dreams head clouds

Obama doesn't know who Obama is anymore than we do and until he does we are going to have an empty suit in the White House.
Someone with more style than substance.
The media will eat it up,spoon feed the adoring public but eventually, for some of us, the style will wear thin.
There comes to the oval office that crisis moment when you have to exhibit leadership,count on your character and make a tough decision based on principle.
We can only hope he rises to the occasion. I doubt it.
Pray the 4 yrs goes quickly..or buy the windmill farm.
