Who Am I.I was born in one country, raised in another. My father was born in another country. I was not his only child. He fathered several children with numerous women.I became very close to my mother, as my father showed no interest in me. My mother died at an early age from cancer.Later in life, questions arose over my real name. My birth records were sketchy and no one was able to produce a legitimate, reliable birth certificate. I grew up practicing one faith but converted to Christianity, as it was widely accepted in my country, but I practiced non-traditional beliefs & didn't follow Christianity, except in the public eye under scrutiny. I worked and lived among lower-class people as a young adult, disguising myself as someone who really cared about them. That was before I decided it was time to get serious about my life and I embarked on a new career. I wrote a book about my struggles growing up.

  It was clear to those who read my memoirs that I had difficulties accepting that my father abandoned me as a child. I became active in local politics in my 30's. Then with help behind the scenes, I literally burst onto the scene as a candidate for national office in my 40s. They said I had a golden tongue and could talk anyone into anything. That reinforced my conceit. I had a virtually non-existent resume, little work history, and no experience in leading a single organization, yet I was a powerful speaker and citizens were drawn to me as though I were a magnet and they were small roofing tacks. I drew incredibly large crowds during my public appearances. This bolstered my ego. At first, my political campaign focused on my country's foreign policy. I was very critical of my country in the last war and seized every opportunity to bash my country. But what launched my rise to national prominence were my views on the country's economy.

 I pretended to have a really good plan on how we could do better and every poor person would be fed & housed for free. I knew which group was responsible for getting us into this mess. It was the free market, banks & corporations. I decided to start making citizens hate them and if they were envious of others who did well, the plan was clinched tight. I called mine "A People's Campaign" and that sounded good to all people. I was the surprise candidate because I emerged from outside the traditional path of politics & was able to gain widespread popular support. I knew that, if I merely offered the people 'hope' together, we could change our country and the world. So, I started to make my speeches sound like they were on behalf of the downtrodden, poor, & ignorant to include "persecuted minorities" like the Jews. My true views were not widely known & I needed to keep them unknown, until after I became my nation's leader.

I had to carefully guard reality, as anybody could have easily found out what I really believed, if they had simply read my writings and examined those people I associated with. I'm glad they didn't. Then I became the most powerful man in the world. And the world learned the truth.

Is your answer Obama?

[nickpapageorgio81]

Altough it sounds like Obama, that is not the answer.















This was written to describe Hitler....

[Blackshirts]

Yeah, to bad that doesn't describe Hitler much at all.

Hitler was not critical of the last war, he was critical of being forced into completely unfair restitution.
Hitler never hid his contempt for the Jews.  It is all over Mein Kamf, he used it as a bullet point in nearly all of his speeches after he got out of prison.
Hitler seized power by leveraging loop-holes in the constitution while a cabinet member and was never elected to office
Hitlers issue with his father was not that he paid no attention to him, it is that he paid way too much attention, of the wrong kind, to him
The contraversy was not Hitler's birth certificate but however his fathers, it was thought that his father may have been part jewish
Hitler did not blame the free market for the mess, he blamed the world wide depression the Versailles treaty, the Jews, the communists, and minorities


The parallels between Obama and Hitler?  Both good speakers and both used civic projects to help get out of economic problems

FDR also was a good speaker and used civil projects to get out of economic problems, but he didn't go around and kill millions

[nickpapageorgio81]

FDR didn't kill millions.  He only threw the Japanese in internment camps.

[Blackshirts]

Yes he did, in a world landscape that none of us today can really envision.  Not that that is an excuse for putting them in the camps, but I think you get my point.

The point is, there are almost no parallels between Hitler and Obama,  trying to make them up does not help your fight.

[nickpapageorgio81]

Others who used civic projects.....
Pol Pot
Mao
Stalin

Others who used civic projects.....

Mao
Stalin

And every other leader in the history of the world

[mpalmer4]

LOL Nick.

Republicans are the only ones who pay taxes, didn't you know that?

Who the hell doesn't use civic projects? They exist at every level of government.
