Not An American

  He was raised within Non-American cultures.
 
Obama is shown with other 2008 campaigning Democrat presidential candidates during the playing of the Star-Spangled Banner. BO refused before this event -- and until shortly after this photo was publicized -- to place his hand over his heart for the playing of the American National Anthem.

BO is unquestionably a very keen observer of his environment. He observes, evaluates potential problems, and devises solutions.

BO is an actor, a chameleon, a charlatan. His skills in these are superb.

Since earliest childhood, BO has observed his environment and its people, formulated concrete substantive concepts using those people and their actions, and devised methods to ensure that he would be accepted and not provoke fear in others who might fear his different traits.

BO was shuffled across cultures by his not-wholly-involved mother. He was raised in Indonesia by his mother and Indonesian step-father and in Hawaii by his grandparents. BO was a visitor, while young enough to observe and build impressions, to Kenya and other remote cultures. These cultures are geographically remote but that is only mildly relevant.
BO spent the first 18 years of his life immersed in cultures that teach nothing resembling the Spirit of the American Experience. BO did not play in schoolyards with American children who were being nurtured in American homes by happy Americans who taught their children through personal actions about American values and the American Experience. BO appreciates little of American history or America's place in world history.

BO's place of birth is certainly of serious consequence and import Constitutionally. But in practical, daily attitudes, beliefs, mores, ethics, and outlook upon humanity, the foreign cultures that engulfed him and in which he, the master observer and survivor structured himself upon, are more relevant. His early upbringing programmed BO to be something not-American. BO never acquired the love of America and appreciation of the American Experience.
BO's early school years were spent learning in a Muslim madrasah, he played and interacted with children who were not of the American experience. Neither he nor his playmates and teachers were bred of the American experience, optimism, and can-do psychology and tradition.
When BO was 18, he first arrived on the American mainland. For two years he attended a less-than-top notch California college where admittedly used drugs and befriended foreign students. During his years at Occidental College he befriended Pakistani students and visited their homeland.

BO is not an American. He has never portrayed himself as a patriotic American. He does not hold American values. He does not appreciate American opportunity, work ethic, and honesty.
It is no wonder that as recently as several months before his election he refused to place his hand over his heart during the singing of The Star-spangled Banner.
For you who selected this un-American, that song is the national anthem of The United States Of America... which you should stand up and defend.
