Subject: WHO AM I?
---------------
I was born in one country, raised in another.
My father was born in another country.
I was not his only child.
He fathered several children with numerous women.
I became very close to my mother, as my father showed
no interest in me.
My mother died at an early age from cancer.
Although my father deserted me and my mother raised me,
I later wrote a book idolizing my father not my mother.
Later in life, questions arose over my real name.
My birth records were sketchy.
No one was able to produce a legitimate, reliable birth
certificate.
I grew up practicing one faith but converted to
Christianity, as it was widely accepted in my new country, but I
practiced non-traditional beliefs and didn't follow Christianity, except in
the public eye under scrutiny.
I worked and lived among lower-class people as a young
adult, disguising myself as someone who really cared about them.
That was before I decided it was time to get serious
about my life and embarked on a new career.
I wrote a book about my struggles growing up.
It was clear to those who read my memoirs, that I had
difficulties accepting that my father abandoned me as a child.
I became active in local politics in my 30's then, with
help behind the scenes, I literally burst onto the scene as a candidate
for national office in my 40s.
They said I had a golden tongue and could talk anyone
into anything.
I had a virtually non-existent resume, little work history, and no
experience in leading a single organization.
Yet I was a powerful speaker and citizens were drawn to
me, as though I were a magnet and they were small roofing tacks.
I drew incredibly large crowds during my public appearances.
This bolstered my ego.
At first, my political campaign focused on my country's foreign policy...
I was very critical of my country in the last war, and seized every
opportunity to bash my country.
But what launched my rise to national prominence were
my views on the country's economy.
I pretended to have a really good plan on how we could
do better, and every poor person would be fed and housed for free.
I knew which group was responsible for getting us into this mess.
It was the free market, banks and corporations.
I decided to start making citizens hate them and, if they became envious of
others who did well, the plan was clinched tight.
I called mine "A People's Campaign".
That sounded good to all people.
I was the surprise candidate because I emerged from
outside the traditional path of politics and was able to gain
widespread popular support.
I knew that, if I merely offered the people 'hope', together we could change
our country and the world.
So, I started to make my speeches sound like they were
on behalf of the downtrodden, poor, ignorant to include "persecuted
minorities".
My true views were not widely known and I kept them
unknown, until after I became my nation's leader.
I had to carefully guard reality, as anybody could have easily found out
what I really believed, if they had simply read my writings and examined
those people associated with. I'm glad they didn't.
Then I became the most powerful man in the world.
And then world learned the truth.
Who am I?
