Barack Obama The Psychological Analysis of the Man behind the Dream

In order to construct a psychological analysis of Barack Obama II, it is important to know something of the major events in his life. This is not easy as there is much conflicting evidence regarding the life of Obama which has fostered many “conspiracy” theories regarding Obama’s life, the most notable example being his place of birth.Conspiracy theories, however, have little or no bearing on the psychological analysis of Obama. Obviously, Obama and his parents, especially his mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, have led unusual and unconventional lives. This fact alone may explain some of the conflicting views, facts, and opinions regarding Obama’s life. This report, therefore, does not dwell on any conspiratorial speculations, questions, or doubts about Obama’s origins, college transcripts, or early friendships—all matters which have been beyond the resolution of any other parties heretofore. These considerations are anecdotal and, even if having a basis in reality, are irrelevant to the psychological analysis of Obama. This analysis is based on the wealth of known facts concerning Obama’s life and surroundings.The AuthorJohn Harding is the co-author with his wife of the best-selling book, Escape from Paradise, From Third World to First.
