The Obama scheme is working out exactly as they planned. Destroy the US while pretending to be helping.

This explains it ...

Dr. John C. Drew, PhD, met Obama in 1980 and had long discussions with him about a faith they both shared: Marxism.

Drew says that Obama was in complete 100% agreement with his Marxist college professors who wanted a revolution in this country to overturn the power structure. He was consumed with the notion of wealth redistribution & more affirmative action programs to bring about less inequality and more income equality.

He had kind things to say about the Soviet Union (like Alice Palmer his mentor) S.U. was a better model than the USA !!!

He and Chandoo drove around together in a BMW. They looked like a wealthy gay couple. Looked like “multi-millionaires”. Chandoo went to the Ramadan dinner at the WH last year but “doesn’t remember meeting Obama” until a photo of them shaking hands was produced.

* Frank Marshall Davis
* Flag-stomping Bill Ayers
* Alice Palmer (Barry was chief of staff to this Chicago Communist)

“Call me Barry ...”

“My most vivid memory was in how insistent he was in arguing a Marxist-Leninist point of view.”

He insisted a real revolution was coming ... and then Marxist-Leninists would be on top !!!”

“He definitely saw America as the enemy”.

“The ruling elite had rigged our economic system to cause people to be poor, had unfairly taken all the money and that America needed ‘Redistribution of Wealth” to make matters fair”.

Dr. Drew was the founder of the Anti-Apartheid Union and the student Marxist Students Association in 1976 at Occidental College, (but has later changed his (Drew’s) views.)

So? So, the Obammunist plan is working, a part of which is to reduce all American residents to abject surfs of Big Brother.

U.S. Poverty on Track to Post Record Gain Under Obama’s Watch

Published September 11, 2010 | Associated Press

The number of people in the U.S. who are in poverty is on track for a record increase on President Obama’s watch, with the ranks of working-age poor approaching 1960s levels that led to the national war on poverty.

Census figures for 2009 — the recession-ravaged first year of the Democrat’s presidency — are to be released in the coming week, and demographers expect grim findings.

It’s unfortunate timing for Obama and his party just seven weeks before important elections when control of Congress is at stake. The anticipated poverty rate increase — from 13.2 percent to about 15 percent — would be another blow to Democrats struggling to persuade voters to keep them in power.

Another Obama created crisis. He had the definition of poverty changed in MARCH just so he could get this result. We HAVE to spend more money on all those people that live in poverty.

Google ‘Obama changes definition of poverty’.

Detroit Woman: 'Obama Money' (Audio)

Ken Rogulski, WJR News, interviewed some people waiting on line at the Cobo Center in Detroit to apply for stimulus money

OBAMA MONEY $$$$$$$$$$$$$

Transcript

KEN ROGULSKI: Why are you here?

WOMAN: To get some money.

ROGULSKI: What kind of money?

WOMAN: Obama money.

ROGULSKI: Where's it coming from?

WOMAN: Obama.

ROGULSKI: And where did Obama get it?

WOMAN: I don't know. His stash. I don't know. I don't know where he got it from but he's giving it to us, to help us. We love him. That's why we voted for him. Obama! Obama!

Here's how another woman responded to Rogulski's questions:

ROGULSKI: Did you get an application to fill out yet?

WOMAN: I sure did. And I filled it out, and I am waiting to see what the results are going to be.

ROGULSKI: Will you know today how much money you're getting?

WOMAN: No, I won't, but I'm waiting for a phone call.

ROGULSKI: Where's the money coming from?

WOMAN: I believe it's coming from the City of Detroit or the state.

ROGULSKI: Where did they get it from?

WOMAN: Some funds that was given by Obama.

ROGULSKI: And where did Obama get the funds?
