Mona Charen on National Review Online: “My own theory, FWIW, is that Obama acquired his far left views at least in part to make himself as authentically black as he could to compensate for having a white mother. His mother, of course, was very left herself. But looking the way he does, and having been raised among only white people (mother and maternal grandparents) he felt the need to better identify with his black heritage.”

And so Charen’s explanation for all the non-black far leftists is ….? (personally I don’t consider Obama “far left” at all but I’ll let that slide).
