Barack Obama’s speech in Osawatomie, Kansas, has certainly made waves. Well-received by the mainstream media, The Baltimore Sun wrote that the President has finally found “his voice” while the ever-dour Bill Press said that Obama was “channeling Teddy Roosevelt.” Yet if talk-show host Rush Limbaugh is correct, the President was channeling someone also long-dead but a lot more red. The radio giant asserts that Obama has “outed” himself, in that he has “announced to the world in no uncertain terms that he is a socialist, if not a Marxist.”
What did Obama say that brought cheers from the Left and jeers from the Right? Among other things, he stated that our relatively free enterprise system not only “doesn’t work” — “it has never worked.”
...So our system shouldn’t be on trial here — Obama should be. But is it really fair to suggest he may be a Marxist? Or was there evidence for it all along?
Well, consider the words of John Drew, a man whom writer Paul Kengor calls “Obama’s Missing Link.” A contemporary of Obama’s at Occidental College three decades ago, Drew says that he himself was a Marxist at the time — and part of Obama’s inner circle. And what does he reveal?
Obama was an “ardent” “Marxist-Leninist” who “was in 100 percent, total agreement with [his] Marxist professors,” said Drew.

Was?
Obamma himself said he always sought out the marxist professors in college. Did he do that to show them the error of their ways? I don’t think so.
We all knew this but the media and GOP elites would not allow the American people to discuss this now nor in the past election. Any time someone mentioned Obama being socialist or other, the person was mocked and ridiculed.
Anybody with two functioning brain cells can see that Obama is a dyed in the wool Marxist .......
All you have to do is listen to what he says.....
Wow, they actually found someone that went to college with Barry.
Leninist is the operative word. Much of the ‘recovery plan’ is a modestly adapted reiteration of Lenin’s New Economic Policy - a bureaucratically managed divestiture of private capital and assets as the state accretes these assets and production.
The fact is, this is the first guy I have ever heard about from Obama's past that would at least verify that Obama attendend Occidental college..........
Jeeezzz...Obama admitted to being a Marxist in one of his books. This was public knowledge before he ran for president. Conservatives ignored the danger Obama posed while they fell all over themselves to prevent Hillary Clinton’s election while also failing to unite early behind a suitable conservative candidate.
Isn’t it amazing what the media can dig up when it suits their purpose? The hard-core loyalists in the Democrat party have floated the idea that Obama is bad for the party, therefore Obama’s past is no longer totally off limits.
This guy will disappear before this gains any traction.
Savage is the best at explaining Obumbo’s Marxist-Leninest
leanings.
I wish the other talkers would amplify the point.
We have a real problem, however, in that much of the populace
is also leaning Communist, thanks to Marxist media and education.

I thought the full quote was "...it has never worked since our founding". If I'm correct, that is damning to Omarxist.
But there is something else most people are missing.
The payroll withholding holiday is not about taxes.
It is about socialism or Marxism.
It is about whether those who have their deductions taken from their checks, that is those who work for someone else, make their own contributions to their retirement (social security at the moment) or whether the rest of us pay part or all of their retirement.
It is my prediction that the withholding tax will never go back to its previous level because every single time it comes up for consideration, we will hear the same arguments from the socialist dims and see the same lack of courage on the part of the rinos.
So that means most of us who pay or taxes on the long form will pay for the hourly workers social security. For now only partially, later more than likely in full.
It is called socialism.
Drew better watch his a$$ or Barry will do a Trotsky on him.
If you don’t get that, Barry’ll do a Vince Foster on him.
And was found to be more leftist than the socialist Bernie Sanders.
"Now, it’s a simple theory. And we have to admit, it’s one that speaks to our rugged individualism and our healthy skepticism of too much government. That’s in America’s DNA. And that theory fits well on a bumper sticker. (Laughter.) But here’s the problem: It doesn’t work. It has never worked. (Applause.) It didn’t work when it was tried in the decade before the Great Depression. It’s not what led to the incredible postwar booms of the ‘50s and ‘60s. And it didn’t work when we tried it during the last decade. (Applause.) I mean, understand, it’s not as if we haven’t tried this theory.
It’s just my opinion, but I think Hillary is getting her favorite pantsuit pressed. She is ready to be crowned the democratic nominee.
