Obama is Photographed Reading the Book many call a Radical Muslim view of a Defeated America.
Recently Obama was photographed carrying a book called: The Post-American World
Many Americans automatically assumed this book to be an apocalyptic prophecy, believing "post" America to mean the world after America. In fact, the book has been dubbed "A Radical Muslim view of a Defeated America" by many ignorant right wingers, who have manged to popularize this slur into the mainstream.
I am no fan of Obama. By all means, I have
written several harsh, criticizing articles about our current President such as, The Corruption of President Barack Obama is Criminal and Grounds for Impeachment, Obama
and The New World Order and the 10
Top Obama Conspiracy Videos, even vowing to maintain
an ongoing investigation of him until the day I die. However, I am somewhat ashamed to admit that
when I first came across the picture of Obama flaunting The
Post-American World book, I immediately and unprofessionally thought much like the ignorant right
wingers I described above, believing our President was actually reading "A Radical Muslim view of a
Defeated America."
But why would Obama read something that
anti-American? I believe him to be a lying, cheating, scandalous, incompetent, self-promoting, self-centered, egotistical, power-hungry camera-hound in cahoots with the New World Order elitists, but I don't
believe him to be a terrorist or traitor (at least not purposely).
So before investigating Obama in this case, I
decided to investigate the book and its author, Fareed
Zakaria.
How should the United States understand and thrive in this rapidly changing international climate? What does it mean to live in a truly global era? The book peaked at #2 on The New York Times non-fiction hardcover best-seller list and at #47 on the USA Today Top 150 Best-Selling Books list.
Considering that Zakaria directed a research project on American foreign policy at Harvard, was managing editor of Foreign Affairs magazine, editor of Newsweek International, a contributing editor and columnist for Time magazine, the Wall Street Journal, The New Yorker and others, as well as author of From Wealth to Power: The Unusual Origins of America's World Role (Princeton, 1998), The Future of Freedom (Norton, 2003), co-edited The American Encounter: The United States and the Making of the Modern World (Basic Books) and has appeared on The Daily Show, Charlie Rose, The NewsHour and BBC World News, we can safely assume he knows his politics.
As a naturalized US citizen living in New York, Zakaria appeared to be an model citizen and patriotic American, being awarded the Hubert H. Humphrey First Amendment Freedoms Prize from the Anti-Defamation League ("ADL") in 2005 and held in high esteem by major political players in Washington and around the world.
However, in July 2010 Zakaria returned the Hubert H. Humphrey award in protest to the ADL expressing its opposition to the Park51 Islamic cultural center and mosque, which had been planned for a site two blocks from the World Trade Center. Zakaria said, as with a slap in the face of the Americans who died on 9-11, he could not "in
good conscience" keep the Hubert H. Humphrey Prize anymore.
Although even while acknowledging that he is not a religious person, he supported his decision by stating
that the larger issue in the controversy is freedom of religion in
America. He wrote that a "moderate, mainstream version of Islam" is essential
to winning the war on terror.
Zakaria had won my admiration and support until he supported the Park51 Islamic cultural center and mosque two blocks from the World Trade Center site! I am all for religious freedom and for doing whatever it takes to end the war on terror, but building an Islamic cultural center two blocks from the World Trade Center site is disrespectful to all those who died on 9-11! It is a slap in the face of the survivors and loved ones of those who died at the hands of these terrorists.
Once again, I am questioning Obama's motives, allegiance, faith and friends. I am reminded of his association with the infamous extremist, Derrick Bell! I remember his involvement with Solyndra and ACORN and that he has made Judicial Watch's "Ten Most Wanted" list... again, for a fifth consecutive year!As far as America goes, I strongly believe we need a new President. Someone like Ron Paul. Or Donald Trump. Or Micky Mouse. Anybody but Obama.
Obama reading The
Post-American World may not have been the smoking gun I was looking for, but it still serves as a good reminder that we need a President who cares about the people, not a self-promoting, self-centered, egotistical, power-hungry camera-hound like Obama.
Never before have there been so many pictures of a President. Hell, recently his face even appeared shamelessly on an American flag! Its not like cameras were just invented, its that Obama wants his face everywhere.
Well, this is one American who is tired of looking at it!
