Into the Mind of the Manchurian Candidate

From Dark Night of the Soul

Barack Obama is noted for his powerful intellect, but I don't think he gets nearly enough credit for the mental dexterity it takes to be simultaneously an Islamic theocrat, atheistic communist and national socialist while posing as a center left candidate. Those must be the compartmentalization skills they taught him at that Manchurian madrasah in Indonesia. The fact that Obama embodies the worst nightmares of so many on the political right says far more about them that it does him.
