Jeannie DeAngelis writes for the American Thinker that our 44th president resembles a famous fictional character.
Through clever innuendo and seemingly noncommittal suggestion, Barack Obama has spent two decades subtly dividing America socially, racially, and politically.
Obama is known for making his points with surgical precision. No one can deny that, armed with a sharpened teleprompter, an emotionally detached Barack Obama appears as a methodical, unemotional speaker skilled at disguising deep-seated hostility as civility.
The former president’s detached eloquence bears resemblance to that of the fictional character, serial killer and cannibal Hannibal Lecter.
Hannibal had a complex psyche that could be hidden behind a refined manner of expressing rage, with his wrath concealed behind a façade of feigned grace and collegiality; that is precisely what Barack Obama does.
From the beginning, Obama worked hard to craft the narrative that the real threat to this nation was patriotic Americans who adhered to the Constitution. It started in April 2009, when the newly elected president directed Janet Napolitano’s DHS to focus on nonexistent right-wing threats in America. The administration’s assessment titled, “Rightwing Extremism: Current Economic and Political Climate Fueling Radicalization and Recruitment,” became the basis for a tone that would define an aggressive presidency — where everyone from pro-lifers to the military, pro-Second Amendment activists, and Americans advocating for immigration law were viewed as threats.
The racial element that sparked division in America was fueled by the statement in the document that mentioned recruitment for right-wing extremism was vigorous among those most upset about “the election of the first African-American president.”
Fast forward sixteen years. …
… After calling Kirk’s death “horrific and a tragedy,” void of even a modicum of self-awareness, Obama proceeded to blame none other than Donald Trump for sowing political division and inciting a “political crisis,” which resulted in the slaying of Trump’s most ardent defender.
