Barak Obama... America's First Socialist President?Ebony Magazine-
January 2007Is America ready for a socialist in the White House?
USA Today asks the "big question" about Barak Obama today... But, it's not what you would think, if you knew anything about the junior senator from Illinois.
The elite media is keeping its distance from Barak's socialist past and present.His Far Left voting record tells part of his Far Left story and his speeches and early days in New York dot the "i" and cross the "t" in soc
ialis
t!
This is what Obama had to say about
capitalism adn free enterprise back in March 2006:
The reason they dont believe that government has a role in solving national problems is because they think government is the problem, Obama said to approximately 1,500 people at the Kansas Democratic Party Washington Days convention.
Obama, a Democrat from Illinois, said Bushs political philosophy consists of giving tax breaks and encouraging everyone to go buy your own health care, your own retirement and security, your own child care, your own schools, your own private security forces, your own roads, your own levees.
Its called the ownership society. In our past there has been another name for it; its called social Darwinism. Every man or woman for him or herself, he said.
The
Opinion Journal published an article on Obama back in August 2004:
Obama, an Illinois state senator representing the South Side of Chicago, is in fact a far-left politician who -- as I'll show in a future column -- seeks to force ever more socialist and racist laws and programs on the American people...
"Alongside my own deep personal faith, I am a follower, as well, of our civic religion," he says. "I am a big believer in the separation of church and state. I am a big believer in our constitutional structure. I mean, I'm a law professor at the University of Chicago teaching constitutional law. [Actually, Obama is not a law professor, but a "senior lecturer." As Chicago Sun-Times columnist Lynn Sweet has pointed out, and I know from six-and-a-half years as a college adjunct lecturer, "In academia, there is a vast difference between the two titles." As Sweet also notes, however, Obama's misrepresentation of his academic position is the least of his credibility problems.]
"I am a great admirer of our founding charter and its resolve to prevent theocracies from forming and its resolve to prevent disruptive strains of fundamentalism from taking root in this country.
Newsmax is one source that reported on his connections to controversial billionaire George Soros back in 2004:
"A lot of his policies have the government taking care of people. Instead of giving people a leg up, he would rather give them a leg."
Soros initially was attracted to Obama because of his vision on education and health care, Vachon said. But Santos said if Obama got his way, the U.S. health care system would be worse than what Hillary Clinton proposed after her husband was elected president. She said voters should be wary of Obama's "any time, anywhere" stance on abortion.
But, his socialist foundation was probably shaped most during those early days at the Socialist (Marxist) conferences he attended in New York City:
Obama wrote that the wealth and stark racial divisions of Manhattan in the early 1980s had a profound effect on him...
He went to socialist conferences at Cooper Union and African cultural fairs in Brooklyn and started lecturing his relatives until they worried he'd become "one of those freaks you see on the streets around here."
So, the real question that
USA Today should be asking-
but won't -is not if America is ready for a "rookie" in the White House, but rather, if America is ready for a socialist in the White House!

Oh come on. Americans have been ready for a socialist since Woodrow Wilson.
Half the country IS communist, whether they know it or not.

not to be picky but socialists are different from commies.
Because of that, socialists have a lot easier time getting acceptance despite being just as bad.

Not a chance of being elected - too much in the closet - contacts of mine informed me that there are some "american" people in Indonesia looking for photos and other evidence.
I think a photo of Obama in Islamic school attire will come out in the near future and will lead to his downfall.

IIRC, he also did work for ACORN in Chicago. He is a fraud, whether it be his background (I don't believe he is a Muslim Manchurian Candidate, but he has been seemingly less than truthfull) or his supposed moderation. The MSM preaches that he is a guy with new ideas, but they've been around for decades. I'd like to see what he has to say about Chavez, Castro etc.

Senator Barrack Obama Socialist?
How do we know if Barrack Obama is a Socialist? One way to determine this and if he has Socialist tendencies is to review his voting record in the United States Senate with Bernard “Bernie” Sanders the so-called Independent Senator from Vermont but self-described democrat-socialist.
Please go to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernie_Sanders or http://sanders.senate.gov/ and review Senator Sanderss bio.
Lets review the 110th Congress Session 1 of 2007 Senate Voting Records.
Party Percent is defined as the percentage voting with ones Party Majority either Yea or Nay.
Senator Party Percent Vote with Sanders Percent
John McCain 88% 34%
Jeff Sessions 89% 36%
Jon Kyl 86% 30%
Mitch McConnell (Party Leader) 92% 35%
Bernard Sanders (Independent) 95% 100%
Barrack Obama 96% 92%
Barbara Boxer 96% 89%
Dianne Feinstein 94% 85%
Harry Reid (Party Leader) 96% 92%
If Barrack Obama votes 92% of the time with a “Socialist” does that fact make him and his Democratic Party lending towards “Socialism”, just a question?
Remember the immortal words of John Adams Facts are stubborn things.
I got my United States Senate voting data at http://SenateReports.com you can too!

Oh man, again with the old thread! LOL
Anyway, yes. A skunk by any other name is still a skunk. Whether they know it or not matters not; Dems are communists and that’s a fact. They certainly have gotten us more into fascism with all their regulations on “private” property. Their goal is communism.

We have a Republic with democratic principals; democracies have elected Adolf Hitler, Hugo Chavez, Saddam Hussein, Hamas and now the greatest democracy the world has ever known where 43 - 45% of its people do not make enough money to pay taxes has elected the Democratic-Socialist Barrack Obama.
The Electoral College system we have to elect our President should have thrown out the popular vote because voter/election fraud.
Do not be shocked when Obama takes the OATH of OFFICE with his fingers crossed behind his back.
In my opinion Barrack Obama is an Enemy of the US Constitution.
