Like many Indonesians, Lolo followed a brand of Islam that could make room for the remnants of more ancient animist and Hindu faiths. He explained that a man took on the powers of whatever he ate: One day soon, he promised, he would bring home a piece of tiger meat for us to share.”

Jeannie DeAngelis - Abake and Barack: Two Philanthropic Peas in a Pod

Originally posted at American Thinker

Recently, President Barack Obama released his list of "bundlers." Bundlers are a special group of "financiers who raise campaign money by soliciting high-dollar contributions from friends and associates," and in turn get to attend fancy State Dinners with British Prime Ministers. One such donor to the President's reelection campaign is Abake Assongba-DeRosa.

On her website Ms. Assongba describes herself as a woman who, after being "involved in the financial industry for over a decade ... had the inclination to create the humanitarian non-profit organization called Abake's Foundation."

Besides being listed on "Obama's campaign website as one of its [440] volunteer fundraisers," Abake is also counted among an esteemed group of New York Obama 2012 contributors. So far, this year alone, Mrs. Assongba-DeRosa and husband Anthony JW DeRosa, a man who also claims to have a wealth of experience in the financial industry, have contributed more than $50,000 to Obama's reelection effort.

However, as a result of other fundraising efforts, Abake is accused of "defrauding a businessman and impersonating a bank official," which may fall into the same category as defrauding a nation and impersonating a president.

Either way, Barack Obama has a unique group of supporters who want to see him reelected. In addition to Assongba, who originally hails from West Africa but has also lived in Paris and New York and is building a home in Florida, the Obama campaign recently had to return "$200,000 ... to Carlos and Alberto Cardona, the brothers of a Mexican fugitive wanted on federal drug charges."

Compared to the Cardona brothers, Mrs. Abake Assonga-DeRosa isn't all that bad. According to her website, Abake only impersonates bank officials so that she can "better assist impoverished children in Africa by initiating Micro-Loans to women, as well as educational scholarships and localized farming grants."

In addition to expanding her "foundation's reach within the United States and the many children whom are also in need domestically," it's alleged that Assongba balances philanthropic efforts with fleecing rich people and using the money to support a presidential candidate who also fleeces people, albeit in a more subtle and dignified way.

Concerning the fraud charges leveled against Abake, Obama campaign spokesman Ben LaBolt downplayed the controversy, explaining that "1.3 million Americans have donated to the campaign, and [the campaign] addresses issues with contributions promptly." According to Mr. LaBolt, "Some issues are easy to identify, others more difficult, but once an issue has been raised, we address it promptly, as we will do in this case."

The Obama campaign's rapid-fire response mechanism may explain why a photo of the President taken with the monetarily creative Abake in 2010 is missing from her Facebook page.

Still, despite a reported "trail of debts" Assongba supposedly left "with a former landlord [who is] demanding in court more than $10,000 in back rent and damages for a previous apartment," and after records show she "was also evicted in 2004 after owing $5,000 in [back] rent," the cherubic Obama donor with the big heart may not be a criminal after all.

Why? Because much like Barack Obama, Mrs. Abake Assongba-DeRosa sees herself as a "citizen of the world" who, unlike other people, has a "keen understanding of how the world works together."

Unfortunately, there are certain people who don't see it that way, and are accusing Mrs. Assongba of pilfering $650,000 from Swiss businessman Klaus-Werner Pusch. Allegedly, it was Pusch's pennies that were used to help finance a multimillion-dollar home for herself and her husband in the Sunshine State. As a result, instead of attending tony fundraisers in the Big Apple, Abake is fending off a civil suit in Florida.

Regardless, in Democrat circles Abake remains a generous woman. It has been reported that "Assongba has given more than $70,000 to Democratic candidates in recent years...Her larger contributions include $35,000 to the Obama Victory Fund, a joint fundraising committee between Obama and the Democratic Party, and $15,000 to Democrats running for Congress." Records also show that in April 2011 her husband also gave $15,000 worth of other people's money to Obama's victory fund.

It does stand to reason that Barack Obama would be Abake's candidate of choice, since she and Barack are so much alike. In fact, the similarities are mind-boggling. For starters, Abake originally hails from West Africa but has spread her joy all over the world, which is similar to joy-spreading community organizer Barry Soetoro aka Barack Obama, whose heritage is rooted in Kenya, Indonesia, Hawaii, and the South Side of Chicago.

Both Assongba and Obama had exciting careers prior to becoming involved in charitable endeavors. Former part-time constitutional law lecturer Barack Obama now assists the impoverished in America through political scamming and Constitution shredding. Bank official impersonator Abake assists the impoverished in Africa through private foundation email scams and stealing large sums of money from unsuspecting humanitarians.

Both Abake and Obama recruit volunteers, accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express and Discover, sell T-shirts, and are really into cyber-activism. Abake is concerned with gathering money to feed the children and Obama is concerned with making sure women who don't want children don't have to pay to get rid of them.

Abake's website touts an "education sector," "micro loans," "feeding programs," and "creating jobs." Obama too is into free education, spending other people's money, food stamps, and shovel-unready job creation.

Let's face it, despite the accusations of fraud, Barack and Abake are a perfect fit personally, ideologically and politically -- which may be why, due to a full week of other political controversy, "Obama's campaign declined to comment on whether its vetting procedures were thorough enough," and more importantly, declined to comment on "whether [Abake] Assongba's [$50,000] contribution would be refunded.

Jeannie DeAngelis - Obama's Influence Fades

Originally posted at American Thinker

"Sic transit gloria mundi" is a Latin phrase that means "Thus passes the glory of the world." The Bible says it best: "For, 'All men are like grass, and all their glory is like the flowers of the field; the grass withers and the flowers fall.'"

It was just a few short years ago that Barack Obama sat high atop the pinnacle of celebrity; now, if monthly style and culture magazine GQ (Gentlemen's Quarterly) is any indication of where in the "passing glory" trajectory Obama is presently situated, Barack's flower of fame is in the process of dropping its petals and destined for a shelf somewhere, pressed between the pages of a dusty history book.

Since making his first appearance on the political stage, Obama has graced the cover of GQ on more than one occasion, and in less than four years has been voted "Leader of the Year" twice. That was quite an accomplishment, especially for a man who, at the time, had done pretty much next to nothing.

In the superficial world in which we live, the withered grass and faded flower of fleeting popularity is watered and fertilized with hype, stylish appearance, media influence, and left-leaning political persuasion, all of which Barack Obama possesses in abundant excess.

According to Gentlemen's Quarterly, in 2007 superstar politician Barack Obama "ruled." The President led the "Men of the Year" for the accomplishment of getting elected in 2008. For the 2009 edition, after America's transformative president was crowned GQ "Leader of the Year," an uncomfortable close-up of his face graced the quarterly's cover, and not surprisingly Obama was later seen clutching the issue under his arm.

Laying laurels at Obama's feet, GQ described the President's first year in office in the following way:

It's been a big year for our new president. He is juggling, mightily, two wars; he staved off the second Great Depression; he fielded rage from tea baggers; and he is working to accomplish what very few have -- real health care reform. And that's just the short list.

One short year later, Barack Obama, a man GQ lauded as being responsible for "usher[ing] in massive transformation, both domestically and to our standing around the world," has been relegated to GQ's roster of the year's (whoa) "Least Influential People Alive."

Allegedly when the list is posted online, the President will occupy the number 25 slot on GQ's "25 Least Influential People Alive" list, which is somewhat encouraging, because least of the least Governor Tim Pawlenty came in at number one.　

Besides T-Paw Obama shares the humiliating distinction with the likes of MSNBC host Ed Schultz, who is known for recently calling conservative talk show host Laura Ingraham a "right wing slut." The roster also includes Newsweek　editor and cover controversy queen Tina Brown, ousted Egyptian "President" Hosni Mubarak, C&W singer Hank 'Hitler Hullabaloo' Williams, Jr., and House Majority Leader John 'Is it Safe to Smoke in a Tanning Bed' Boehner, who probably earned the title of 'least influential' after spending the spring of 2011 golfing with the Duffer-in-Chief.

In 2009, Nobel Peace Prize winner/Leader of the Free World Barack Obama began his foray into the Hall of Influential Fame when it was revealed that, by his very existence, he had moved the international peace process forward.

Since then, few would argue that President Obama's presence in Washington DC has resulted in a whole slew of extraordinary circumstances. If influence is defined as " the capacity or power of persons or things to be a compelling force　on or produce effects on the actions, behavior, opinions, etc., of others," then GQ's 'least influential' standards obviously don't take into account the power of negative influence.

Think of it -- in three short years, this historic president has: influenced America's unemployment rate, which presently hovers around 9%; contributed to the racial divide, which is now wider than ever; fostered class warfare, which is presently 'occupying' the nation's streets; established lax national security standards; grown poverty; ignored a porous border; sued a couple of states; continued to push entitlement programs; and contributed to the national debt, which has ballooned out of control.

With the long list of liberal accomplishments Obama keeps accruing, for GQ to suggest that the President lacks influence is outrageous.

There's got to be more to a liberal publication crowning Barack Obama one of the "least influential" people on the planet. It may very well be that while the President remains a dominant force, he may also be falling victim to the fickle nature of the world's worship.

Either way, Barack Obama has proven he will not be deterred by popular opinion -- not GQ's or anyone else's.　 As one of America's most influential presidents, if Barack Obama gets his way the influence he plans to wield has only just begun. In the end, at the rate he's going, Obama's　boldest achievement may turn out to be singlehandedly transforming the greatest nation in the world into a vast wasteland of wilted grass, faded flowers and past glory.

Barack Obama's Transparent Administration

"Going forward, anytime the American people want to know something that I or a former president wants to withhold, we will have to consult with the Attorney General and the white house counsel, whose business it is to ensure compliance with the rule of law.

Information will not be withheld just because I say so; it will be withheld because a separate authority believes my request is well-grounded in the Constitution. Let me say it as simply as I can: transparency and the rule of law will be the touchstones of this presidency."
Barack Obama

The Attorney General (Eric Holder) has been accused of lying to Congress about 'Operation Fast and Furious'.
