Who Am I?

[ALPHAGRIZ1]

Who am I?

Interesting...

Try and Guess WHO I AM?

I was born in one country, raised in another. My father was born in
another country. I was not his only child. He fathered several children with
numerous women.

I became very close to my mother, as my father showed no interest in me.
My mother died at an early age from cancer.

Later in life, questions arose over my real name.

My birth records were sketchy and no one was able to produce a
legitimate, reliable birth certificate.

I grew up practicing one faith but converted to Christianity, as it was
widely accepted in my country, but I practiced non-traditional beliefs &
didn't follow Christianity, except in the public eye under scrutiny.

I worked and lived among lower-class people as a young adult, disguising
myself as someone who really cared about them..

That was before I decided it was time to get serious about my life and I
embarked on a new career.

I wrote a book about my struggles growing up. It was clear to those who
read my memoirs that I had difficulties accepting that my father abandoned
me as a child.
I became active in local politics in my 30's and then with help behind the
scenes, I literally burst onto the scene as a candidate for national
office in my 40s. They said I had a golden tongue and could talk anyone into
anything. That reinforced my conceit.

I had a virtually non-existent resume, little work history, and no
experience in leading a single organization. Yet I was a powerful
speaker and citizens were drawn to me as though I were a magnet and they were small roofing tacks.
I drew incredibly large crowds during my public appearances. This
bolstered my ego.

At first, my political campaign focused on my country's foreign policy. I
was very critical of my country in the last war and seized every opportunity to bash my country.

But what launched my rise to national prominence were my views on the
country's economy. I pretended to have a really good plan on how we
could do better and every poor person would be fed & housed for free.

I knew which group was responsible for getting us into this mess. It
was the free market, banks & corporations. I decided to start making
citizens hate them and if they were envious of others who did well, the plan was
clinched tight.

I called mine "A People's Campaign" and that sounded good to all people.

I was the surprise candidate because I emerged from outside the
traditional path of politics & was able to gain widespread popular support.

I knew that, if I merely offered the people 'hope' , together we could
change our country and the world.

So, I started to make my speeches sound like they were on behalf of the
downtrodden, poor, and ignorant to include "persecuted minorities" like the
Jews. My true views were not widely known and I needed to keep them
unknown, until after I became my nation's leader.

I had to carefully guard reality, as anybody could have easily found out
what I really believed, if they had simply read my writings and examined
those people I associated with.

I'm glad they didn't. Then I became the most powerful man in the world. And the world learned the truth.

WHO WERE YOU THINKING OF?

Scary isn't it?

I wasn't thinking of Obama, if that is where you are trying to go, lamely I might add.

[ALPHAGRIZ1]

I wasnt going anywhere..........just trying to keep things fair and balanced.

Yup

Yeah, I wasn't either. It only describes his life to a tee.

Yup, I distinctly remember this Obama campaign slogan. Me and the boys used to sit around the TV and get a good chuckle every time he said this: "Blood must flow, blood must flow! Blood must flow as cudgel thick as hail! Let's smash it up, let's smash it up! That goddamned Jewish republic!"

Hitler lost his bid for presidency with a campaign slogan "Hitler Over Germany" and also threatened violence to the German people if he wasn't appointed chancellor. He did this multiple times and his threats were also publicly known. He was also never elected, he just passed a law saying the presidents powers were transferred to him.

That isn't new at all. Thanks for taking me back to 1995 when I first heard that.
