The Obama of The Past
Few people have lived the past that lured IL. Senator into his adulthood. Few have no idea what it means and calls for to be in a mixed family. Few don't know how to grow without a mother. Few don't really know how to relate to a stepfather. Hardly any know how to grow up without a biological father. None know how life is in the wastelands of Kenya, nor do they know how the soul nurtures in the most populous Muslim nation in the World. Obama has had to live with all that and managed to grow into a very amicable character...emboldening an ideal fresh face within the American political arena.
For those doubting Obama's experience and vitality in the face of the White house, they need just look at his past...this is an amicable guy who has lived through it all, and humbly emerged victorious, this is a guy who's lived in Indonesia--the Muslim-order country--and managed to keep his Christian identity intact. In the race for the Whitehouse, Obama embraces the challenges presented with a profound sense of dignity, courage and unabashed charm. And now more then ever, he is David the Great.
Yet the losers of our society keep on nagging us with tales of a name, childhood memories that are vague, and words that only fools can fathom. Rush Limbaugh is a spent soul, a water blood. His is a miniature mind whose ideas only serve to astonish the world. One raw material of his thoughs was revealed when he said, "the guy (Obama) has fire on his hands...i wonder what he has on his pants". Even if this were a joke, and it wasn't, it would only be let loose by a persona-non-grata. And that's what Rush is making of himself. Actually, that's what Rush is...a case study of past hostilities, a bully, a pig on heat.
