Barack Obama 101: A lesson in understanding the president | Washington Times Communities
CHARLOTTE, June 3, 2013 — As interest in the Obama scandals grow, it is becoming more obvious that journalists are frustrated by the increasing lack of clarity. What news people are dealing with on a daily basis is no different than this writer’s personal experiences while living in Saudi Arabia. So, perhaps it might be possible to offer a semblance of explanation.
Admittedly these thoughts are speculative, but they do have merit. They are not intended as an indictment of Barack Obama, but as an effort to explain why confusion surrounds so many aspects of his administration.
Within hours of stepping on Saudi soil, it is impossible not to notice that Arab society is one of the most paranoid cultures in the world. Saudis always leave themselves a way to avoid responsibility for anything they do. If it is possible to place liability on a subordinate, a superior always leaves his underling in a position to take the blame.
In Saudi Arabia if a taxi driver has a wreck, the passenger is responsible because the cab would not have been there if the passenger had not hired him.
When dealing with a superior, it is virtually impossible to obtain a definitive answer about anything. After a morning meeting, even if you are sure you understand the agenda, chances are good that everything will be different by mid-afternoon.
How does this relate to Barack Obama and his administration?
Barack Obama was born into an Islamic society. He is a product of skewed secretive, distrustful, paranoid, victimized teachings that included studying the Koran and living life lessons as taught by the Prophet Muhammad.
During his formative years Obama attended madrassas and lived in a world dominated by Islamic thinking. Perhaps that is of no consequence, but it is no secret that many Muslims are indoctrinated in their youth long before they have any concept of what they are saying.
Far fetched? Maybe, but how many times have we seen attorneys defend clients by claiming child abuse and all manner of detrimental external prejudice that influenced a person during childhood? It happens all the time. Why should the early outside forces on the president be any different when as a youth he was surrounded by a preponderance of Islamic thinking?
