Why do I fear that Barack Obama is some kind of long-term strategized extremist plot against America?

I think you need to back away from the Sci-Fi channel and right-wing propaganda. He is just another politician. Relax. Or, you harbor some other issues...figure out what those are.

right... because he's not white? I don't see any other reason that this idea would even cross your mind. That's very sad.

Yes you are just paranoid and I hope that no one else sees him as you do. What is your logic behind this thinking? Probably no logic at all.

I think that the media may have a lot to do with this. Both Republicans and Democrats do have an agenda, and it is the agenda that you agree with that determines your party affiliation. Personally, I disagree with you. I was unsure about him at first, and so I read his autobiography, "Dreams of My Father." If you read it you will probably be surprised at his honesty, transparency, and candidness. After reading it, I completely changed my opinion of it. I would suggest though that you remain somewhat vigilant about the media because it is biased. That is why I read his book. I wanted to get to know the man, and not what the media wants me to think.

Unfortunately, I don't think you are just paranoid. Check this out: http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=NDZiMjkwMDczZWI5ODdjOWYxZTIzZGIyNzEyMjE0ODI=

"paranoia, paranoia, everybody's coming to get me"....

Because you read too much political fiction.

I'm kind of paranoid about politicians in general...but I believe them to be relatively harmless. Relatively.

Paranoia. Generalized Anxiety. Xenophobia. Racial or Cultural Bias. Fear of Change. Limited knowledge and experience. Pick a few, add your own.

You don't have to want to vote for Obama or even like or agree with the gentleman. You do need to educate yourself.

Back away from the television set and organs of the right such as the above-suggested National Review article (speaking of extremists).

Take a deep breath and live up to your screen name.

Because you are paranoid. And his name is one letter away from Osama. Get over it.

I dont know. Do you fear walking through a minority populated area at night? If so...you may have some issues.

Because the Republican party is a long-term strategized extremist plot to enslave America, and they've been using a bunch of cheap, obvious, psychological parlor tricks to dupe anyone they can into fearing that.

YOU JUST HAD TWO TERMS OF GEORGE DUBBYA BUSH, AND YOU ARE SCARED OF BARRACK?

just a quick answer to 'lonelyblueyes' comment.
people need to stop thinking its muslims or christians.
religions don't run the world anymore, big business does.
if 'muslim states ' have the money then american government will deal with them. if they don't then they will demonise or bomb them.

this whole' them or us argument is exactly the same one that was bandied about during the 'cold war'
funny that, as soon as communism no longer becomes a threat, islam becomes one instead.
governments need enemies and the threat of fear to keep control of people.

all politicians regardless of their political leanings are or will become corrupt sooner or later.

its just '1984', wars that have no reason to be except that they do.
an unseen enemy.

and a hate figure that never gets caught.(ring any bells?)
