Obama. What about the Dreams of My Grandparents?

[andrea_f...@live.com]

Consider how the media have focused on Obama's family background.
There has been great emphasis on his mother and his father, but almost
nothing on his grandparents--until when Obama compared his 'typically
white' grandmother with the toxic Jeremiah Wright. Obama also made a
big thing about his white grandmother in ads run in southern States to
convince white voters that he was raised white.
But, on the national scale, the focus has been on Obama's mother and
father. Obama wrote a book about his father, and Newsweek ran a photo
of Obama's mother holding baby Obama--channeling Madonna and Child
image for secularists looking for a new religion.

On closer observation, this is all very strange. If anything, Obama
should have written a book called 'The Dreams of My Grandparents'.
Without his grandparents--their time, devotion, money, effort,
support, etc--, Obama would not be where he is today. His mother was a
selfish woman who hooked up with some African lover boy who turned out
to have another wife. Both Obama's mother and father were extremely
self-centered people.
Like the Charlotte Rampling character in "Georgy Girl", Obama's mother
dumped her kid and ran off with another man half way around the world.
Obama's father refused to have anything to do with Obama, his own
child. This was also true with other kids he had with other woman in
Kenya and who knows whereever else. Both father and mother lied to one
another, lived for their own pleasure, and abandoned the child they
had together. If Obama's white grandparents hadn't stepped in, Obama
would mostly likely have ended up as dead, criminal, confused, or at
best, a humdrum individual.
Lucky for Obama, an old white couple provided a classic and
traditional nuclear home for him. His grandparents were his defacto
father and mother. They fed him, clothed him, educated him, took care
of him when he was sick, supported and encouraged him.
Yet, Obama has been mostly silent about the very people who did most
to help him succeed. Instead, he has shown embarassment about them.
Why? Obama's personality is much like his father and mother's. Selfish
and self-centered. Ever since he was a young boy, he thought of
himself as a cool, badass, and out-of-sight dude. Yet, his defacto
parents were lame old folks. Worse, they were lame old WHITE folks. He
felt like Siegfried raised by Nibelungen. His grandparents were nice
to him alright, but he felt superior to them. Just like Muhammad Ali
distanced himself from Jews and whites who built him up and
established his blackness and find black spiritual guides, Obama
wanted to cast off the soft shackles that chained him to his white
grandparents. His grandparents were nice to him, but it was very
niceness that most upset him. He felt obligated to be 'white-like' or
'white-friendly' since whites were nice to him, but his real wish was
to a great, badass, tough, cool, and hip black dude. Obama's problem
was never a sense of black inferiority; rather, he always felt
superior to whites. He felt like a swan being raised by ducks. But,
unlike the ugly duckling story where the nastiness of ducks gave
impetus to the 'ugly duckling' to find his true greatness as a swan,
the niceness of the white ducks dragged on Obama who wanted to get
away and find his greatness as a black swan.

And, he felt this even more so when he met Franklin Marshall and other
leftist and black radicals. At any rate, if his white grandfather knew
Marshall, even Obama's radicalism may have partly come from his white
grandfather. How many stuffy old middle class white folks have black
communist friends?

Anyway, though Obama owed everything to his white grandparents, he
wanted to get away from them as far as possible. He sought what he
considered to be his TRUE father figures. He went to Africa to meet
his real father. Obama wanted a narrative where his black father
hadn't abandoned him but had been forced to give him up due to trying
circumstances. But, the fact is his communist Kenyan father was just a
lowlife rat and skunk. Obama called him a 'goat-herder' but that's
like designating Himmler mainly as a chicken farmer. Obama's father
was a hateful communist radical, and had his side taken over Kenya, it
would have been another Ethiopia-under-Mengistu.

It's not that so much that Obama hated his white grandparents. Rather,
he resented their presence in his psycho-biography. He wanted to see
himself as a black revolutionary, a radical prince, a badass mofo
dude, a great leader much like Che Guevara, and etc. Yet, his
biographical resume said, 'raised by two old white folks from Iowa on
the beatific island of Hawaii'. It's as if James Brown had to admit
that he'd been raised by a white family that sang polka every weekend.
So, Obama sought out Jeremiah Wright. Here was a fire-breathing black
preacher. He was angry, he was mean, he was nasty. He sho was black.
Wright became his spiritual father. And, Obama mythologized his real
loser-father as a tragic figure when he had been just as an alcoholic
womanizer and clod. Obama reshaped his narrative so that his real
father represented the tragic black hero defeated by the (white ruled)
world and his pastor 'father' represented the anger of the black man
crying out for vengeance and justice. Had there been absolutely no
chance of Obama becoming president, Obama would have edged even closer
to black politics. After all, he married a very hateful and resentful
bitch and hung around arch radicals like Wright, Ayers, and worse.
Obama felt comfortable in that world. But, when the presidency became
a possibility, he had to make things look more balanced.

Even so, what most of us know revolves around Obama's feelings and
thoughts about his mother and father, both of whom had little to do
with his life. His defacto parents were his white grandparents.
Now, why did the media support's Obama's mytho-narrative? It's because
the media are mostly liberal to leftist. Their dominant ideology is
feminism and anti-family-ism. To say that Obama's success owes to an
elderly white couple who provided for him a traditional nuclear family
of middle class values undermines the whole conceptual ideology of the
Left. The media want us to believe that Obama's success owes to race
mixing, single motherhood, African nationalism, spiritual fathers like
Alinsky and others. But, take out the role his grandparents played,
and Obama wouldn't have been anything. Before one learns about the
world, one must be taken care of--fed, clothed, walked to school, read
bedtime stories, treated when sick, etc. Who does all this for kids?
Parents. So, where were Obama's radical leftist parents during his
youth? His mother was in another country with yet another man--whom
she divorced eventually as well. His father was in Kenya boozing and
banging more chicks and begatting more kids--like the George the hut-
dweller. His defacto parents were his grandparents. But, even though
Obama's white grandparents and the nuclear family environment did the
MOST GOOD for Obama, they've been given the least amount of credit.
Indeed, we've heard NOTHING about his white grandfather. Well, I guess
he's a white male, and of course, we can't say much good about no
white male.
