Saw this recently, thought it would make for an interesting topic of discussion here:

He had a domineering father and learned at an early age that you either dominate and win, or you lose. He became immature and impatient with a short attention span and little attention for details. He freely told lies and came to believe most of them himself. He eventually lived in a fantasy world and lost his grip on reality. In spite of all this he attained success, in large part due to his bravado and showmanship. He even acquired a fabulous retreat in one of the most beautiful locations in the country. Through his oratory capabilities and theatrics he was able to mesmerize his base. He promised to champion the middle class and put the unemployed back to work. Making numerous promises that he had no intention of keeping, he was voted into political power largely by protest votes against established politicians. He became the leader of his country. He abrogated treaties and convinced his people that he was the only one who could lead their country back to its rightful place of glory. After denying he would do so he sent troops into foreign lands. He often didn't take advice from his closest advisers. In fact, although he surrounded himself with high ranking military officers, he seldom took their advice, believing and saying that he was smarter than the generals. He believed that legislators were there only to do his bidding. He took refuge in those few who were still loyal and told him what he wanted to hear. Who am I talking about?






Why, Adolph Hitler of course. Who did you think?

Obama never said he was smarter than the generals and his dad was not around to teach him that winner or loser nonsense. He also never said he was the only one who could lead. So the profile doesnt fit if you read it all.

Murderer, tried to wipe out a entire ethnic group.. about a million or so. sent people to the gas chambers men women children,, starved them to death tortured them. used them for chemical and biological warfare testing, took the gold from their teeth,invaded counties.

But some think it funny to equate that to our president in a veiled way......tasteless.

I knew who he was talking about, about halfway into it. He also said nothing about religion, so that eliminated obama. He was very into the preaching of Calypso Louie.

Hitler's father died when he was 13. Here's another curiosity. Hitler's father's name was Alois Heidler. Where did the Hitler name come from? Since Hitler rebelled, and hated his father, I suspect he changed his name, just to distance himself from his father. But, no one knows for sure.

Hitler was also a vegetarian, and was documented to have terrible gas. His personal physician stocked him up on patent medicines and personal concoctions in an effort to well, "brighten up the room".

Another interesting tidbit: Both Hitler and Churchill were both fond of painting landscapes, and were rather good. I recommend Martin Gilbert's book "In Search of Churchill" to those who would like to read about the man.

But it is OK for some to directly equate it to a past president, that is funny, right? Or a past secretary of state? Just as tasteless, but there we are, there we are.

Me, I never ascribed the passage to anyone but Hitler, did I? You ***-u-med a connection I did not make.
