:banned:Guess Who I Am?

[As revised by Sonny Roseman, 3 Aug 10] “…I was born in one country raised in another. My father was born in another country and he fathered several children with numerous women and showed no interest in me. My mother died at an early age from cancer and later in life questions arose over my real name. My birth records were sketchy and no was able to produce a legitimate, reliable birth certificate. I grew up practicing one faith but converted to Christianity which I didn’t follow except under the public eye under scrutiny. I became active in local politics in my thirties and then I …burst onto the national scene in my forties. I had a virtually non-existent resume, little work history, and no experience leading a single organization. Citizens were drawn to me like a magnet. What launched my rise to national prominence were my views on the country’s economy. You see, I pretended to have a good plan on how every poor person would be fed and housed for free. I called my campaign a people’s campaign. I was the surprise candidate and I was able to gain popular support—I knew that if I offered the people hope, 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, and ignorant to include persecuted minorities. My true views were not widely known and I needed to keep them unknown until after I became my nation’s leader. Anybody could have easily found out what I really believed if they has simply read my writings and examined those people with whom I associated. Then I became the most powerful man in the world and the world learned the truth. Who am I? I am Adolf Hitler. Who were you thinking of?
