Obama's Anakin Skywalker Complex (Video)
-
Any Star Wars fan knows that the death of Anakin Skywalker’s mother had a profound effect on his life. It could be said that it started his path towards the dark side. His fear of losing his wife would later push him over the edge, leading him to betray the Democratic foundations of the Republic.
What I find troubling is that President Obama may have had a similar reaction to the death of his mother.
Her lack of health insurance may be driving his politically suicidal push to pass ObamaCare. If only the State had absolute power over our lives and had provided health insurance, just maybe his mother would still be alive. I hope the parallel breaks down soon, but Anakin Skywalker views gaining total power as a means of spreading “justice” throughout “his” empire.
Time will tell.

Very astute observation. Anakin was separated from his mother for 10 years prior to her death; Obama was separated from his mother for several years in his youth.
Anakin's a lot better looking (prior to going up in flame) and there was still some good in him. Obama…?
Thanks. We will see about there being some good still in him.
