"The Hillary enigma is very different than the Obama enigma. The enigma of Obama was: Who is this guy? In 2008, Obama came out of nowhere. Very little was known about his past. What little was known was mostly camouflage. So there was an understandable appetite to learn about him. Moreover, Obama was intriguing; his story generated obvious interest. As an immigrant, I was fascinated by Obama's background, his charisma, his objectives. I wrote two books, The Roots of Obama's Rage and Obama's America, trying to explain Obama and predict what he would do. I predicted he was an anti-colonialist, in his father's image, and that he would seek to "remake America" by reducing its wealth and power. Many people, even many conservatives, were initially baffled by my interpretation of this strange man. Only now--eight years later--do most people see that I was largely correct."
