Tories and Whigs.

Barack Obama is a Tory, and the equivalent (historically speaking) to Franklin Roosevelt, and Lincoln. Yes, babes, this guy is going to be one of the biggies.

King Obama for President, please.

You can even think of this as a way of going back to the decentralized tribal ways of our ancestors, which so many psychedelic prophets like Terence McKenna have claimed as due for the Aquarian Era/2012 blah blah blah.

Because Obama is from a tribe in Africa (through his father, indirectly), the heartland of humanity specifically (closer to Tanzania, Kenya, where The Lion King was set). He's a goddamned tribal chieftain for the United States (and I wish I could say, by extension all humanity, but that isn't true -- that right is reserved for the United Nations' secretary-general, and they already got in on that African chieftain business with Kofi Anaan. In fact they've already moved on, logically - to me anyway - to a Korean mandarin. It's all in Hegel. We're developing a base for the future. In case you're wondering, I'm completely insane. But disregard that and keep reading if you want to, it's O.K.). So, the U.S. is definitely behind the times here, with our African chieftain (of course, but the U.N. is powerless, meaningless, and not for serious, so they're only setting an example -- and besides, they won't be around much longer anyway, not with the EU taking their place. But let us still note that it is the U.S. that has the real power. I was just reading Walter Russell Mead, and I thank him for figuring stuff out for me, and I borrow his borrowed idea of Europe as scorpions in a jar -- pay them no mind, their days are over) . But Americans care about our history, so it's exciting to know that he's going to be a true king, and a truly global one at that -- not just a member of the Anglican gentry (Washington), or a butternut Irishman (Lincoln), or an aristocratic Dutchman (FDR), but a Hawaii-born Kenyan "chieftain" of half-Midwestern (Kansas) parentage, educated and raised partly in Malaysia and at Hawaiian aboriginal but New England Congregationalist (the sect he belongs to, BTW)-founded prep school and then further educated at: wow, Occidental College, the Presbyterian lib arts school in Eagle Rock for the Southern California (opposite of Northeast) Spanish-influenced Scotch-Irish ascendancy (but note he still has trouble with Hispanics but maybe not for long -- we see Pasadena-and-Milton-Academy Hispanic preppy Bill Richardson, gov'r of New Mexico, turning towards him, though which Mexicans give a fuck about what he has to think are none that I can imagine) and then went to Harvard, which is, unlike the more Whiggish Yale, a citadel of Toryism (Oxford is to Cambridge as Harvard is to Yale). Incidentally, that's why a man should go to Yale, I suppose, to make it in business. But then to go to Chicago, rather than New York -- what genius. Chicago is at this point more connected to the outside world than the Northeast. Think of University of Chicago and Pitchfork -- not to mention Austin, TX. The heartland's where it's at, if you're upper class. Oh, gosh, not to mention the latest development in soft power -- Western Pennsylvania's Black Moth Super Rainbow, on a Chicago wigger label (and Ohio's noisecore or whatever).\\

So, you can see that everything fits!

- George Washington of Virginia
- Abraham Lincoln of the Frontier
- Franklin Roosevelt of New York, Groton and Harvard, and the Navy
- Barack Obama of Hawai'i, L.A., and Chicago (and Harvard Law)

He's the gifted public school (magnet school) kid, at least on the West Coast. Oh, I forgot to mention -- the supposed madrassa he went to, in Malaysia? It's actually Malaysia's N0. 1 prep school, founded by & for the children of the Dutch colonial elite!
