No thinking about it, Axelrod and his parents come from the long roots of Chicago communism and even back to the Russian revolutionists like Lenin and Trotsky in particular. I have often wondered who in Chicago, I firmly believe, was the person(s) that told a Russian dinner hostess in the 1980s that someone with upfront background and the name of Barrack was being primed to be POTUSA. There is a huge gap of knowledge and publicity about this situation but I believe it is one of the keys to open the door on Obama. Obama’s parents, both sides, were also fervent communists.
