WHAT DID BARACK OBAMA LEARN

from his third-world experiences?  Steve Sailer has some thoughts, including this:

despite Obama's [self-proclaimed] incredibly sophisticated awareness of the rest of the world .. he approvingly quoted his spiritual mentor Jeremiah A. Wright's incredibly unsophisticated worldview: "where white folks' greed runs a world in need ..." Wouldn't some experience with the Third World raise severe doubts about such an apportionment of guilt? After all, during Obama's formative years, there were plenty of anti-American leftist Third World countries that only become needier the more they separated themselves from white folks' greed.

So, why didn't Obama get it?
Make sure to read Sailer's guess at why Obama didn't get it.  I think he's on to something seriously important here, something close to my own hypothesis.
