Considering the over the top hyperbole of this statement, should we assume the original article was meant as satire?

We probably should considering the hyperbole is just as obscure as the original article.

I am not entirely sure how one "almost fully" functions as a dictator.

Its so obvious why I needed to post the entire article, as so many responses prove that nobody actually read it. This isn't about whether Barack Obama is an American citizen or not. It is about what culture he identifies with.

Barack Obama is functioning almost fully as a dictator at this point. What are we up to, 22 czars or something like that?
It's fairly obvious that most of those that responded didn't read the article, or can't read....good article....slanted as most things are...Dumacrats just can't handle it if it's not slanted their way...H

Don't understand how it is a "good" article. You're just as guilty as the "Dumacrats" in your inability to construct a reasonable response to the OP.

Actually I think left part of the article out.

America, don’t be fooled. The Igbos were once made up of a confederacy of clans that ascribed to various forms of democratic government. They took their eyes off the ball and before they knew it, the British were upon them. Also, understand this: the African colonial who is given too much political power can only become one thing: a despot.
