I would have to revisit some of the psychological theories on children and relationships or non-relationships to parents.

Not only was his father absent-------------his mother was also absent for him. His formative years from 2 to 10 were spent with his mother and Soetoro who adopted him.

Then it was as though he had also been abandoned by his mother. From 10 and on he was primarily raised by his Grandparents in Hawaii. During that period he admits he was self-conscious about himself and his color and having a white Grandmother. Obviously, he did not have a firm grasp on who he was.

The element that was missing for him was a father and a father of the same race. Also, missing was a mother in Hawaii----------so he really grew up not truly knowing his parents.

I can only surmise------intuitively, I suspect that he fantasized "dreamed of " his father and his father being important and more important than he truly was. The main connection he had with his father became the papers that Obama, Sr. wrote----------which he obviously read and internalized.

It's been a while since I read those papers on the net--------they were as you noted a socialist template for Kenya and appear to be the current Obama of the USA's socialist template for the USA.

What I have a problem with in his makeup is his sudden switch from being an anti-war demonstrator to being a President who appears to be angry at the whole world.

In his anger, he has promulgated war throughout the Middle East under the guise of "sensible war"-----as well as the continuing war in Afghanistan that has been fought by the Russians, the French and now by America.

Is this anger that resulted from his not having a father and a mother that he lived with and knew and who nurtured and loved him?

If so, it is a very dangerous form of anger for the USA and world.
