A Subconscious Marx-ism? (Obama slips up, paraphrases Marx in speech)

A Subconscious Marx-ism?
I do not believe Obama is a socialist, but to me, at the end of his healthcare speech, he just evoked one of the most famous of Karl Marx’s phrases. Quoth Obama:
We did not come to fear the future. We came here to shape it.
Sayeth Marx in Theses on Feurebach:
The philosophers have only interpreted the world, in various ways; the point is to change it.
Again, not equating Obama with socialism — that would be foolish — but the linguistic formulation is similar, especially because when Obama verbalized those two sentences he said them as if there were a semi-colon between them, not a period.

You are right.

He is a Fascist.

It was deliberate, to get people used to Marxism-lite. Subtle brainwashing....get the teeming masses used to the idea. Except eventually, all that turns into Marxism-heavy the more power they grab.
Then the Death Squads start to show up for those who disagree, and history repeats itself.

We have a LOT to fear about the future if he and his fellow COMMUNISTS are the ones who will be shaping it....and millions of Americans know that in their GUTS!

He quoted Marx again when he said “I once shot an elephant in my pajamas. How he got in my pajamas, I’ll never know.”

There is a difference between a socialist and a Fascist.
Look it up.

Forget about speech patterns. Look at Obama’s actions—they’re much closer to Marxism than his words.

Your post makes no sense. First, why don't you think Obama is a socialist? Second-I don't find Obama's line all that similar to the Marx quote you referenced.
If you cannot tell that Obama is a socialist (he just gave a speech extolling the virtues of government-run healthcare, for pete's sake!) I wonder if you truly understand socialism or Marx for that matter.
Stop being so Bill O'Reilly. There is no need to apologize and pull punches when dealing with a socialist/demagogue like Obama.

A slip up?
The contents of the heart determine the direction of the tongue, and Marxism is a malignancy attached to 0bama's soul. This was no slip up.

“It was deliberate, to get people used to Marxism-lite.”
And that’s the exact reason it was critical for parents to loudly resist The One’s planned indoctrination of school kids - it was going to be part of a process. Thankfully it was blunted.
