I don't know, and fathoming Obama's mind is a waste of time. His behavior is more important anyway. Obama may or may not be implementing the "Cloward-Piven Strategy. "
Cloward and Piven were New York-based Communist intellectuals who proposed various methods to overthrow free-market democracies and install Communism. More about Cloward-Piven here.
The essential idea is straightforward. In crisis, there is opportunity. So create a crisis. Then exploit the opportunity.
All societies have a dominant culture and subcultures, which I call "resistance cultures". Biker gangs, the Mafia, Islamists, and Communists are resistance cultures. They resist the influence of the dominant culture, they have strict cultural and membership boundaries, and their culture is fairly homogeneous within those boundaries.
Most resistance cultures try to grow and propagate. They behave a bit like an organism, growing and propagating if they have the right social habitat. Nazism was a resistance culture which usurped power and became the dominant culture. Once in power, Hitler spent great efforts destroying the Communists and their social habitat.
A Socialist resistance culture seems to have seized control of America. Democratic free enterprise is now a resistance culture. To consolidate power, the new dominant culture must destroy us and our social habitat. For example, conservative churches, conservative synagogues, other conservative groups, state legislatures, talk radio, and center-right websites are part of the social habitat of democratic free enterprise politics.
The Cloward-Piven Strategy is designed to eliminate resistance cultures. They would not have to kill us. They could jail a few, purge us from the civil service, destroy our social habitat, and punish us if we spoke in public about our views. That approach has been very successful in Cuba.
Here are some Obama behaviors congruent with the Cloward-Piven Strategy:
(1) Ceaseless and obsessive lying, which obscures his true intentions and confuses the public.
(2) Profound lack of transparency.
(3) Nationalizing large parts of the economy, including banking.
(4) Blocking efforts to make American energy independent.
(5) Diminishing the military in wartime. Most of the military are conservative.
(6) Initiatives to form a national paramilitary organization, loyal only to Obama.
(7) Massively increasing the size of the civil service, mainly loyal to Obama.
(8) Appointments of Socialists to power.
(9) Appointments of dishonerable political operatives.
(10) Manipulating political appointments to gain complete control of congress.
(11) Promoting labor unions at taxpayer's expense.
(12) Promoting the immigration of Palestinian Islamists.
(13) Obsessively repeating that America faces the worst economic crisis since the great depression: "the crisis of capitalism." In fact, the US is in a mild recession, which occurs about every six years. The dot-com recession occurred six year ago. Unless Obama does a lot more damage soon, things will not even resemble the problems of Jimmy Carter's stagflation era.
(14) Falsely and repeatedly claiming this crisis is unprecedented. In fact there would be no crisis at all if the US had stuck with free-market economics. The crisis is minor compared to the War of Independence, the Civil war, the Depression, WWII, and the Cold War, to name a few.
(15) Falsely proclaiming that he alone can fix the problems.
(16) Falsely proclaiming that the present health care system is completely "broken".
(17) Ignoring dissent from the military, the States, and all other groups, as if he was deliberately trying to provoke conflict.
(18) Here are some Obama statements. According to Karl Marx, truthfulness is not important in politics. Morality is irrelevant, do what is expedient to get power. This could explain some of Obama's profound falsehoods:
From the final debate (Oct. 15, 2008):
– “I will produce a net spending cut.”
– “The $750 billion rescue package, if it's structured properly, and, as President, I will make sure it's structured properly, means that ultimately taxpayers get their money back.”
– “Every dollar that I've proposed, I've proposed an additional cut so that it matches.”
– “The policies of the last eight years and -- and Washington's unwillingness to tackle the tough problems for decades has left us in the worst economic crisis since the Great Depression.”
– “The worst financial crisis since the Great Depression.”
– “The worst financial crisis since the Great Depression.”
– “I want to give them a tax break now.”
– “$60 billion in tax cuts for middle- income and lower-income people, more immediate tax cut for people making less than $200,000.”
– “... making sure that taxpayer can get their money back if they're putting money up.”
– “I support clean coal technology.”
– “If it sounds incredible that I would vote to withhold lifesaving treatment from an infant, that's because it's not true.”
– “The only involvement I've had with ACORN was I represented them alongside the U.S. Justice Department in making Illinois implement a motor voter law that helped people get registered at DMVs.”
– From Obama’s campaign website: “As president, Obama will not sign any non-emergency bill without giving the American public an opportunity to review and comment on the White House website for five days.” (The recently passed Lily Ledbetter Fair Pay Act was not posted on the White House website until after it became law.)
– From Datrmouth College, January ‘08: “My job this morning is to be so persuasive…that a light will shine through that window, a beam of light will come down upon you, you will experience an epiphany, and you will suddenly realize that you must go to the polls and vote for Barack.”
-- We have to "Spread the wealth around"
So there is some of the evidence. I leave you to decide.
Pro Patria

deliberately, methodically, with purpose and malice of forethought and with the total end game in sight, he is running at warp speed to thoroughly destroy America as we know it, and he wants the job done within the first hundred days of his tenure, so that he can go play with the rich and famous that have paid for his audacity and deceit.

Gina, thought you might enjoy this. i just posted it at the link above
You chaps haven't a clue whats all going on here in the U.S. We have 8 states as of friday that have introduced legeslation and ask for sovereignty under the 10th and 14th admendments from the Federalist Socialistic Communist Goverment that is in control of the half black, half white, Whitehouse. There in lies the problem with the Big O, he has an identity crisis all the while trying to mind the gap of all the other crisis.
The states are, Arizona
(no sure-prize there, John McCain) Washington, New Hampshire,Michigan,Missouri,Oklahoma, Montana and here's the sure-prize, Hawaii, the place that has his original Vault Birth Certificate, the place where he claims he was born. Whats that you say, claims.
Allow me to explain I say.
You see there have been over 40 lawsuits at the Federal level with five cases making it all the way to the HIGH COURT( Michael Phepls to be appointed next justice) of the land. They went no where because of a legal term called standing. Now it is assumed, that the only persons that have standing is one who wears the uniform with a patch of the American Flag sewn on it's RIGHT shoulder sleve. There are two retired colonels, a major, and now a retired Brigader General who want a look at that certificate.
The latest case is Retired Colonel Gregory S. Hollister, look it up if you think this is a scam.
I leave you with this. If Hawaii verified that they in fact have the original, and all of these blokes are suing to see it, then why is the big O fighting all of these lawsuits instead of telling Hawaii to Release The Certificate. Transperency we can believe in.
And lastly the one who is leading the charge is a former citizen of the former Federalist Socialist Communistic espy ally dough shist Russia. Dr. Orly Taitz. http://defendourfreedoms.us/
