I watched that speech. It was the first time I'd ever really noticed Obama. Occasionally, I'll have a strong, instinctive reaction upon first exposure to some individual. It happened during that speech and all my instincts told me this guy is a con man and what he's saying might or might not have anything to do with what he really thinks.
He's proven my instincts right ever since that 2004 speech.
I watched it too. I told the other person in the room to watch out for this guy because he’s going to be president one day. It was like his persona was tailor made to win Americans over.
The Marxist view of it is: "Do what our street mobs want - or else!"
Marxists love democracy. Stalin, 100% turnout, 100% vote for Stalin. Same for every other thug. Saddam Hussein. Kim Il Sung. Pol Pot. All loved democracy. Even at the point of a gun it was democracy.
