If Hillary Clinton had overtaken Barack Obama in the Democratic primaries and became her party’s nominee it is likely that she would have double digit leads over John McCain in all the major polls and be on her way to victory in November. But that was not to be. Instead, she was stopped unexpectedly, and perhaps providentially, by a fatally flawed, unqualified candidate of little knowledge, political experience and enormous self-esteem, a man of staggering stupidity, naivety and blindness in domestic and world affairs; a pathological narcissist who thinks himself the genius of the ages-THE ONE that America and world history have been waiting for to bring history to its destined end of social justice paradise in an unaffordable European type nanny state.

An unmistakable sign that Obama will make a weak, inept and dangerous president unable to defend America from its enemies in a brutal and savage world was given on the significant date of March 18th when Obama delivered his so-called “historic” speech on race and Reverend Wright.

Hailed by deluded lapdog liberal pundits as equal to Lincoln’s Cooper Union Speech what was profoundly significant and revealing about the event was the place and date of its delivery. For the place was Philadelphia the city that gave us Jeremiah Wright reminding us that Obama’s religious identity and political fortunes were born from his friendship with this unhinged, anti-American, Jew hating man, his spiritual mentor of twenty years-the man who opened his heart and mind to a God of hate who damns America as the avatar of evil and injustice on this earth. Also born from this friendship, and this is key to understanding Obama’s meteoric rise to stardom, is his charismatic power to entrance and fascinate people-his ability to enrapture crowds to the point of delirium with a psychic force that is mistaken by many for a profound spiritual gift.

I recall back in the early 70s the tragic phenomenon of the Divine Light Mission and its hapless young leader the guru Maharaj Ji, a fat stupid 15 year old kid yet a dynamo of spiritual force who transported his audiences into ecstasies when he spoke lifting them spiritually out of this world into “a new dimension of being;” and because of his intoxicating powers he was hailed by his frenzied followers the “Lord of the Universe (God incarnate)”-not quite as ridiculous but similar to what some are calling Obama.

It is important to note that the secret to the “kid’s” mystical powers was a magic mantra or word of power which he learned from his yoga practicing parents who put him up to this charade and made a tons of cash. Perhaps the Maharaj Ji’s greatest accomplishment, and no mean feat, was the deradicalization of Rennie Davis of the Chicago 7 fame. Davis was so smitten with the boy-gods powers that he exchanged his pot, pills and LSD for the privilege of kissing his pudgy little feet.

Laughter aside a similar delusion is at work in Obama who, I am convinced, learned a spiritual secret or trick from Reverend Wright, as Wright undoubtedly has the same mesmeric powers Obama uses to hypnotize and dazzle his unsuspecting followers. In fact, Obama did indicate that his first meeting with Wright was a magic life changing moment where he found him “entrancing,” and that this psychic experience with Wright was the determining factor in becoming a devoted follower for twenty years. It is the same thing with many of Obama’s star struck fans: it is the psychic experience that they have with him that fools them into thinking that he's Mr. Profundity, a “super-enlightened being” and “light worker” from beyond; a messianic figure from a higher plane of meaning specially incarnated to deliver our nation from disunity and lost humanity from darkness and war. By now most of you have heard the epiphany line from Obama’s January 8th speech included in the McCain “He’s The One” campaign ad; don’t think that Obama was joking about the light coming down from on high directing people to vote for him as he believes that God is moving heaven and earth to gratify his wishes and make him President. If this is true it's to lead America into a necessary, course correcting catastrophe.

If you’re a poor empty aimless soul lost to God and country, lost to the greatness and goodness of America, the last best hope for peace and justice on earth, if you’re one of these lost ones and feel psychically elevated in Obama’s presence it’s very easy to lose your head in your feelings and enter the collective fairy land of Obamamania, as many entered such a place who blindly followed the Sabbatai Zvi or the ecstatic ignorant boy-god Guru Maharaj Ji.

In short, Barack Obama is a spiritual and political fraud, one of the great hoaxes of American political and cultural history. A man who learned a secret on how to energize his soul and inspire ignorant people with his soaring rhetoric and grandiose dreams; a holy rolling politician, a kinder, softer, gentler Reverend Wright, the Elmer Gantry of the political Left, the Music Man on a Magical Mystery Tour selling the snake oil of his charming personality as the antidote to domestic and world problems-using Wright’s secret trick to bewitch people and fool them with his utopian imbecilities of radical hope and cosmic change.

Thomas Sowell got it right when he said, “If Obama were to give a speech on bowling it would be inspiring. But he doesn’t know how to bowl,” and too often throws gutter balls as he will as President. The same holds true for his stirring speeches on economics, foreign policy and much else. What this nation doesn’t need is a clueless messiah in the White House making worse what needs to be fixed and going down in history as a failed, gutter ball President.

NEVILLE CHAMBERLAIN INCARNATE

Far more ominous and foreboding than the place from where Obama delivered his speech was the date. Coming one day after David Paterson, the blind black Governor of New York, was sworn into office (emblematic of Obama’s mental blindness and the blind following the blind) March 18th was a sign warning us about Obama’s shallow, confused and dangerous views on issues of war and peace, diplomacy with enemies and homeland security.

For this forgettable speech ominously fell on the 139th anniversary of Neville Chamberlain’s birth, that tragic man of sorrows whose mistaken judgment of Adolf Hitler caused a global conflagration killing millions. It is said of Barack Obama that he brings out the better angels in people-he does deceptively beam with an innocent goodness that could have that effect on some; but the same was true of Sabbatai Zvi who made people feel angelic and the boy-god guru Maharaj Ji who made his followers feel they were in heaven dancing with Vishnu, Shiva and the Hindu gods. The same was also true of Neville Chamberlain an uncommonly upright, kind and gentle man who loved peace with all his heart and whose moral and mental qualities were praised by Winston Churchill in the magnanimous tribute given upon his death. However, Obama’s goodness and good intentions are no substitute for his ignorance in economics, national security and world affairs. With the economy teetering on recession Obama’s proposed soak the rich and anti-business taxes, raising taxes on companies earning $250k+ per year, remind one of the high corporate class warfare taxes imposed by Hoover than by FDR during his failed New Deal-which prolonged the Great Depression by many years. And with fascist Iran close to building the bomb and their ally Russia on the move in Central Asia we must shutter at the thought of this poor, weak, foolish man becoming Commander in Chief. We are entering a period of geopolitical decline with our enemies advancing on all sides, a period similar to the aftermath of the Vietnam War, a period where we can ill afford a Neville Chamberlain with a messianic complex as president.
