Hey! Do you miss me yet?

In Wyoming, Minnesota, a billboard has gone up next to Interstate 35 having the picture of past President George W. Bush. The slogan asks the question, “Miss me yet?” (photo). Bob Collins of Minnesota Public Radio attests to having seen it with his own eyes.

However, nobody knows who paid for the huge and expensive installation of the billboard next to the Interstate. The owner of the billboard declared at an inquiry that the buyer wishes to remain anonymous. In some US blogs, the question concerning the buyer has become a national mystery. The number of those who really do miss Bush is becoming greater and greater.

The trouble that Obama will always have is that he is unable to identify with America in a natural way. The reason for this maybe is that in the formative years of his life, the first eight, he was schooled in Indonesia. In other words he acquired a more Islamic view then the Judeao-Christian view of life.

Then there is the matter that he is not genuinely 'African-American' in the accepted meaning of that term. He is the son of a Kenyan-Muslim father who was passing through America. This leaves Obama with many internal problems. The fact that he has overcome them is very much to his credit, and he deserves all the plaudits he gets.

The central problem is though that he is unable to identify with America as a genuine African American can, such as Col. Allan West.

Now I will posit an idea that some may find Politically Incorrect. America is still a white majority country. They elected Obama though, because they felt good about him, and more importantly, they felt good about themselves. However, it is not a basis for the selection of a leader of a nation to reflect the views and mores of the majority of the population of that nation, particularly if that nation is at war.

To illustrate, no matter how Chinese-centric an African or European is, he will never be able to feel what a Chinese feels- not in his gut and not in the depths of his soul. In addition, when the going gets tough, there will always be doubt among the majority Chinese population, if an African or European PM has the natural intuitive kinship to them as a Chinese would. This would be of even greater importance if China was at the moment engaged in a war against Africa or Europe.

Therefore an African or European, no matter how Chinese-centric he may be, will be unsuitable as the PM of China, on purely rational grounds. The same can be said for any nation. It would be imprudent for Germans to elect a Frenchman, Englishman, or a Muslim to be the chancellor of Germany, no matter how good Germans may feel about themselves in doing so. It would be an irrational act of the majority, driven more by altruism and naiveté then common sense.
