Articles: Obama's New Nationalism More Sukarno Than Teddy Roosevelt

Articles: Obama's New Nationalism More Sukarno Than Teddy Roosevelt
 More background on Obama/Soetoro by Michael Patrick Leahy:
Obama's Osawatomie speech reflects Indonesian rather than American values in one additional important way: Americans have always valued individualism over collectivism, while Indonesians prefer collectivism over individualism.  Obama's speech was an ode to collectivism and a rejection of American individualism.
Read this link to understand what Soetoro/Obama really believes--Pancasila:
Indonesia's first president, Sukarno, introduced Pancasila in a speech in Jakarta on June 1, 1945.  His audience was a committee of the Indonesian Constitutional Convention, convened on the eve of that country's independence.  Sukarno emphasized five points around which the new country could coalesce:
  1. Belief in one supreme God
  2. Humanitarianism
  3. Nationalism
  4. Social justice
  5. Consultative democracy
