I formed my opinion of Obama mostly influenced by Steve Sailer, who based his image on the analysis of Obama literary oeuvre. But it appear that Muravchik, from Commentary, did a clearer analysis. Muravchik starts by noting that Obama voted with his party 96 percent of the time. In the prior two years, his number was 95 percent, making him the fourth most partisan member of the Senate. And not just partisan, but also highly ideological. According to Americans for Democratic Action (ADA), Obama voted “right” 90 percent of the time. If we discount his absences, Obama voted to ADA’s approval more than 98 percent of the time.
Abandoned by his father when he was still too young to remember him and then sent at age ten by his mother to live in Hawaii with her parents, who enrolled him in a prestigious prep school, Obama spent much of his teen years searching for his black identity. Late in his high-school career he found a mentor of sorts in Frank Marshall Davis, an older black poet. According to Herbert Romerstein, former minority chief investigator of the House Committee on Internal Security, FBI files reveal Davis to have been a member of the Communist party not only in its public phase but also when it officially dissolved and went underground in the 1950’s.
According to Obama, Davis told him that a white person “can’t know” a black person, and that the “real price of admission” to college was “leaving your race at the door.” Perhaps influenced by this, he reports that at college,[t]o avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists and punk-rock performance poets.
Despite Obama’s tone of self-mockery, the passage discloses the milieu in which he immersed himself. In this light, it is not surprising that, upon graduation, he decided on a career as a “community organizer,” even if it was none too clear to him what exactly that meant. Thanks to a grant from a left-wing foundation, he was hired by a small group of protégés of Saul Alinsky, the original apostle of “community organizing.” Alinsky’s institutional base was the Industrial Areas Foundation, which he called a “school for professional radicals”.
Obama, then, is a highly disciplined ideological radical within the Democratic Party. He is the point man of a long tradition of American radicalism. The world should be expecting a socialist revolution, instead we are expecting a Nasdaq rally. I certainly am for the rally.
Addendum:
President Obama hosted a Jewish Seder Dinner in the White House. The meal included matzo ball soup, brisket and kugel. The Seder was overseen by Eric Lesser, a special assistant to White House official David Axelrod. "There is no question, Obama is a true friend of the Jewish community." And has an iron stomach.

It's likely that the nice white liberals who voted for O. didn't realize how far left he really is. His approval ratings have declined quickly.
This comment has nothing to do with this topic but I feel I had to post it anyway.
At Mangans you said:
The US has full right to control its borders and as far as I know, it does quite ferociously.
J, you are either cosmically ignorant -- unlikely, given how much time you spend on racialist blogs -- or a shameless liar. Either way, it is very difficult to understand how you think you are helping your cause. The real effect of your lies is to harden antisemitic opinion among those you would like to convince of the opposite.
Dear Anonymous,
Not only that I did say so, but I also explained it. As any person with a Middle East or Latin American passport can explain to you, getting an American visa is very difficult and expensive. After you submit all the documents and certificates that show that you have a job, properties, family, etc. in your country and you do not intend to overstay your visa, you are submitted to a humiliating and exhaustive research and body search at the border post. You are fingerprinted, photographed, and so on. Many of the people who fly in with you in the plance are summarily returned to their countries, God knows why. Dogs sniff your crotch. I dont like ferocious looking shepherd dogs between my legs.
I also have worked in the Mexican border. You have a forbidding high fence running for thousands of kilometers just in your side of the border. Once on your side, there are many electronic devices which I am familiar in Israel watching for intruders. Many people dies every night trying to get into the other side.
I am a person who is well aware of the possiblity of coming detached form the real world and living in a owrld of illusions, so I force myself to work and make money, to be necessarily in touch with reality. All the time I am not starving I must be in touch with the real world, that is my point of reference. And I say that I dont care what you think, in my personal experience, America guards its borders and controls its entrances. Ferociously.
So why the auntie of Obama can overstay her visa and is not expulsed? I dont know. That is another problem, not the one we are talking about.
Just to close another point: I am convinced that anything Jews do has nothing to do with antisemitism and that is very wrong, futile and mortal for us Jews to try to "behave well" so our enemies will tolerate us. They hate us for their own obscure reasons, not for what we do or are. They will always make up some reason to hate us, such as drinking the blood of their blue-eyed blonde virgins. A long time ago I gave up trying to convince anyone about anything, much less anything related to ethnic hate. Go in peace and the farther the better.
1. Only parts of the border are fenced, including the first 30 miles from the coast near San Diego. Second, once an alien is in the country the government does not try to expel them (think of Obama's aunt in Boston). We wouldn't have 45 million Hispanics, at least 12 million of which are illegal if the entire border were fenced. The annual flow across our desert is estimated at at least a million a year. There have been reports on the internet of Al-Queda paying Mexican smugglers to move men across the border.
2. The Industrial Areas Foundation was founded by a coalition of Catholic parishes in northern Illinois. Once the foundation leaders realized that the unionized steel and manufacturing jobs weren't coming back they changed their tack and decided to organize the local Blacks. The Catholic church was supportive of the original unionization that helped bring down the manufacturing companies, so the church was involved in the destruction and second plague in that area.
