The Patriot Post® · The Root of Obama's Anti-Americanism

Thomas Sowell: “Anti-Americanism was the rule, not the exception, among Obama’s mentors over the years, beginning in his childhood. When the young Obama and his mother lived in Indonesia, her Indonesian husband wanted her to accompany him to social gatherings with American businessmen – and was puzzled when she refused. He reminded her that these were her own people. According to Barack Obama’s own eyewitness account, her voice rose ‘almost to a shout’ when she replied: ‘They are not my people.’ Most of Barack Obama’s foreign policy decisions since becoming president are consistent with this mindset. He has acted repeatedly as a citizen of the world, even though he was elected to be President of the United States. Virtually every major move of the Obama administration has reduced the power, security and influence of America and its allies. Cutbacks in military spending, while our adversaries have increased their military buildups, ensure that these changes to our detriment will continue, even after Barack Obama has left the White House. Is that failure or success?”
