My!My! Mr. Obama: How were you not brought up?

Let's be candid. Mr Obama and his family are a lovely sight to behold. He did not utter any gaffes in Germany, France and Egypt. Hold on a minute. Sometimes what a political Leader does not say or do is even more important than putting his foot in his bouche.

He snubbed Angela Merkel, the German Chancellor, by stopping at Buchenwald, a former concentration and death camp to look properly horrified - and get tons of US and Israeli press.

We have several nauseating death camps in the Philippines run by the Japanese during their Occupation. Filipios, Americans and Europeans perished there. Other than General Douglas MadArthur, I cannot recall any American President taking time off his busy schedule to pay his respects.

Yet Obama did not visit Berlin, the site of so much German death and suffering thanks to raw revenge on the part of the Soviets - first, the blood soaked Stalin and then that malevolent peasant Nikita Khruschev, who built the Berlin Wall as a reminder 24/7 to the "hated" Germans that their country was a DIVIDED ONE. It would remain that way for decades.

I can't say with certainty that only Jews died in Buchenwald. Why? My clan lost dozens of relatives and friends who died from dysentery and typhus there. They were Catholics, Masons, and Lutherans.

Obama failed to show Polish, Politesse, and Courtesy in his omissions towards President Sarkosy as well. What is wrong with an intimate dinner with Nicholas and Carla? True, they enjoyed a twenty minute luncheon. What's that? Did you say Twenty Minutes? They must not have discussed anything other than Sidney Bechet and Satchmo. Mon Dieu! Mind you, those personages are infinitely better than the buffoons and bums we are presently saddled with in various governments.

No Frenchmen would have taken a simple dinner between the Obamas and the Sarkosys as an endorsement during an election period. Quite the contrary, given the high Muslim population in France it surely would have had a counter-productive effect.

Of course Sarkozy does not have the charisma and stature of President Charles de Gaulle. What world leader does today? Perhaps only John F. Kennedy in his time.

The British, rightly so, were offended by Obama's attitude on Omaha Beach, Normandy. That incompetent idiot General Eisenhower directed operations from England. A great deal of British, Scottish, Canadian, and Australian/New Zealanders died, cut into pieces by German artillery and bombs. Lest we forget. The Generals history will remember are Erwin Rommel and George Patton. Without the 59 million Russian corpses, D-Day would never have taken place - if he really wanted to honor the dead from WWII -- he should have gone to Russia.

President Obama is clearly peeved at President Berlusconi's remark after he won the elections.

"Obama is tall, tan and handsome."

I wouldn't go so far as to call him handsome. Attractive fits him more. Denzel Wahington is handsome, so is Will Smith. Morgan Freeman is sooo elegant. Samue L. Jackson sexy but I reiterate the President is an attractive man.

Why should Prime Minister Berlusconi's remark have offended him? Lack of polish. AAH! That's refreshing. That will be acquired with time.

It was not a flippant remark. Obama's advisors have tails of straw. In Italy, especially here in the Italian Riviera, almost everyone who can afford it becomes as dark as a Moor come summer. It is a status symbol. Tanning salons are Quelle Horreur! Que Barbaridad! It's only for the tasteless. In any case there is a difference in the shade and in the color of a tan slowly accumulated on a yacht, a private beach, a mountain or seaside resort. Most of us can tell.

The United States is bankrupt. Why spend the ill-gotten gains of bankster/gangster money on junkets abroad? Worse, the American people cannot afford all this trips abroad vis-a-vis their President. As a matter of fact, neither can most of the EU leaders. So why are they doing it? Are most of us already on a form of soylent green?

More importantly, are our Secretaries of State as tacky and brassy as Hillary Clinton? Criminy! We don't need to even ask where she was not brought up. There is no breeding there. Full Stop.

Let the so called Leaders of this mad world do Skype like the rest of us!

BARAKA - BARACK: GOD'S BLESSING?

Barack Obama's name is Arabic. As with all Arabic names it is associated with the Creator, The One True God - Allah. It means God's blessing, God's fortune, God's protection and God's benevolence.

I am disappointed that he did not have the balls to remain a Muslim. A good Muslim. Instead he chose to join one of those fiery and trendy Christian Chrurches. That was his choice. We can only say Amen.

I am going on record to declare that I did not find his Pastor particularly virulent, malicious, or even remotely anti-white, whatever the devil that means nowadays. Indeed, many of his utterances as well as his grievances contain more than a grain of truth, much much more.

Adnan Khashoggi used to own a sumptuous Villa called Baraka. I find AK ( Adnan ) a most delicious personality. Yet Villa Baraka was anything but God's blessing. It reminded me more of Salacious Sugar Daddyo Hugh Hefner's pad. Never mind. As AK aged and found he had hypertension and diabetes, he became more religious and thus Villa Baraka was sold. It's new owners hastily renamed it.

Dahlings! I mean Mosques, Churches, Temples may be called Baraka or its equivalent in Farsi, Hindi, English, Italian and so on. But Villas where all sorts of lascivious and lurid things take place is a definite No-No.

Back to Obama. So he has been given a blessed name, but I don't know if he is truly blessed in the deepest sense of the word.

Perhaps running for President under the banner of the Democratic Party might prove to be a curse. Time will tell. Time is always our great ally in all things politic. It never fails to reveal to those discerning enough to pierce through the frou-frou of the bright or the dark star under which a so - called political Leader will lead ( if he can ) or govern ( if those Powers calling the shots allow him to be his own man in some way).

All these statements are in the assumption that he will be elected. I fear he will not. Why? Because the Master Manipulators of the sheeple and the out of sight Pay Masters will ensure that he is not elected.

The people of America are between Scylla and Charybdis to put it poetically, as Homer did in Odysseus's Odyssey. In plain English, they are between jagged rocks and thorny places as far as this particular election is concerned.

I might even venture to say that rigged elections are as old as History and Beyond.

He has come a long way Baby. His advisors are fearsome figures as Advisors need to be. He is a likeable enough politico with just enough charisma to get the ball rolling but can he score? I don't know. I doubt if anyone in their lucid mind knows either.

The one thing that truly concerns me is the Silence from Madiba - Nelson Mandela. There are a thousand and one ways in which Madiba could speak out even without opening his mouth and making statements.

We saw and heard his younger brother in Kenya who is living on the fringes of society if not the law tell us that he, as most Kenyans is poor and living on an American dollar a day. Lucky he! There are those unfortunate enough to work in the diamond and tantalum mines of the Congo. They must feed themselves and their families on less than that.

Africans are Masters of gestures. Madiba knows all about it. Instead the Void and the Silence engulfs Obama. The drums are ominously silence. That is telling us a great deal.

We should listen.
