What Can We Say We Actually Do Know Is True About Obama?

The thing that really has bothered me about Obama is much the same thing that bothered me, though to a lesser extent, about John Kerry.
The Democrat side is not presenting much if anything of substance about the man, his personal history and of his character that is not hand fed.
In 2004, John Kerry was going to slip by on the superficial supposition that he was a war hero (and not a gold bricking manipulator of the system) as well as on the claimed need for civility in the campaign.
Kerry was "Swift Boated" (I am a proud contributor to the Swift Boat people) not so much as a consequence of a supposed desparate effort to defame Kerry on his opposition's part but because of Kerry's own purposeful lack of candor about himself which left him vulnerable to all sorts of attacks.
In 2008, we see the same highly managed and almost certainly highly sanitized image of a Dem candidate. The manifest absence of candor and authenticity of the Obama campaign is a great big red flag and should itself suffice to reject Obama's candidacy in the voting booth.
However we do have Obama's books and we have an outline of his personal history. As already posted on this site, Obama's mother gave the appearance of a bitter woman. Obama himself did not come from a normal, stable, traditional family environment. He also was not raised by a strong and virtuous widowed mother as many (R.E. Lee, Rickover) notable people have. Bill Clinton came from a troubled home environment and he was a failure as a national leader.
We can almost certainly deduce that Obama's wife is very like his mother and that his wife is almost certainly another angry woman based upon her comment about never having been proud of this country before. An interesting sidelight also is that she seems to have no sense of gratitude that she personally has been given privileges by our society that the majority of the population will never enjoy.
Obama has tried to minimize it but he is apparently close to William Ayres and Bernarndine Dohrn who are his neighbors and in whose house his state senate candidacy was first announced. How close Obama is to these two is debated but what has been disclosed so far has an appearance of a tip of an iceberg - "http://sayanythingblog.com/entry/obama_had_a_pattern_of_contacts_with_weathermen_terrorists/" .
By the way, I saw more about Rashid Khalidi at - "http://www.discoverthenetworks.org/individualProfile.asp?indid=1347".
Of course there is the Wright factor. One Christian radio ministry I listen to warns against Christians allowing unresolved anger to stay in their hearts because it gives the Devil a foothold. I think that Rev. Wright is probably an apt example of someone troubled by unresolved anger. Those Wright videos suggest that many people in Obama's church church are also. Is 20 year church member Obama also filled with unresolved anger at White America or at capitalism or at just the country?
Obama has all the appearance of a cult leader and he has created that knid of sensation among his "followers". People who vote for him will do so mainly for subjective rather than objective reasons. Obama's appeal is really all about them and not about the greater society or the country.
We are seeing something freakish in the Obama phenomenon. Obama supporters tend to be college educated and tend to be professionals. Our universities' teaching is becoming more remote from reality though. With issues such as man made global warming being seriously argued we can see that irrationality has become politically significant. What we are seeing I think is a large segemnt of society losing its grip on reality, probably through extreme self-absorption. Of course reality will eventually intrude forcefully upon it regardless.
By the way this may be an interesting site -
