Could be wrong, but believe Obama bragged about his Marxist leanings and associations in his book. Also claimed early on in an interview that he thought the constitution was flawed in that it didn’t go far enough in saying what the government must do in economic redistributionism. And all of that was way before Joe the plumber and before he even declared for the presidency. Sincerely doubt there are any obots on FR. Not caring much for Beck does not make one an obot.
I do not follow Beck closely anymore, but when he was on Fox he outlined the role of the Tides Foundation and those responsible for Obama’s rise. You are right about Obama saying the Constitution was not good enough and about redistribution of wealth. It was the same interview in which Obama told the government could take 100% of a person’s income, etc. and Beck reported on it.
He does seem to covet sensationalism and his program became boring, but he was there in the beginning warning about progressives, Woodrow Wilson, etc. He deserves credit for waking and educating people.
