Who knew? Barack Obama and Henry A. Wallace Have Remarkable Similarities! (MUST SEE!!)
YouTube/Arthur Schlesinger ^ | October 12, 2008 | Unknown/NYT

I was shocked to see that Obama and 1948 Presidential candidate Henry Wallace had so much in common. Both candidates said they would help bring racial unity between blacks and whites. Both advocated universal government health insurance. Both wanted to establish peace with enemies abroad through talking instead of through strength.

However, those aren't the only similarities.

-Both had/have extensive and regular contact with Communists; Both were/are influenced by shadowy figures behind the scenes with interests adverse to the United States.

-Wallace's highly popular book was actually ghost written by a group of Communists. There are questions surrounding the true author of Obama's own books.

-Wallace was highly naive and ended up being used by our enemies who went back on their words to the detriment of US interests. I think it is reasonable to say that many share the concern that Obama may be vulnerable to this type of situation.

The video also digs deeper into Obama's relationship with Khalid Al Mansour, the principal adviser of Prince Alwaleed of Saudi Arabia. It also show the scope of influence Al Mansour has in North America and introduces a couple of other influences from Obama's past.

I have also included an article about Henry Wallace written by Arthur Schlesinger below:

Racial reconciliation, peace with hostile forces, national health insurance.

Sounds like that could apply to Richard Nixon as well...

Henry Wallace eventually apologized for his naivitee. In 1952, Wallace published “Where I Was Wrong”, in which he explained that his seemingly-trusting stance toward the Soviet Union and Joseph Stalin stemmed from inadequate information about Stalin’s excesses and that he, too, now considered himself an anti-Communist.

Barack Obama is just a manipulative liar.

Ayers won “Citizen of the Year” Award in Chicago couple of years ago. True story.

Very interesting, all I got from high school history is that
he was just too far off the map to get elected.

IIRC, a documentary mentioned that his campaign even had a
subtle endorsement of gay rights (in euphemistic terms).
But I guess enough voters parsed the terms enough and thus
just couldn't vote for him.

Sarah Palin, on the other hand, is much more like William Wallace...

Other than Nixon going to China, and being hugged by Sammy Davis Jr. what Nixonian actions are you referring to?

In February of 1971 Nixon sent a national health insurance plan to Congress. In 1973 he resubmitted the plan.

Both time is was killed by Democrats (Ted Kennedy) on the grounds that it “did not go far enough.”
