One thing I do agree with Horowitz: BHO is no dummy and he speaks like moderate; usually in platitudes. But BHO is also a hardcore Marxist who knows EXACTLY what he’s doing and EXACTLY where he wants to take the country—to Socialism of course. ANYONE who has studied BHO’s career, writings, and close associations knows this is the case. And Horowitz is right on another point as well: BHO at the age of 48 has already accomplished much. He was elected to the state senate, then the U. S. Senate. Then this little known back bencher first term senator defeated the powerful Clinton machine in the Democrat primaries and then went on to defeated to the veteran and battle tested John McCain in the general election. BHO has already achieved much of his agenda with the passage of his trillion dollar stimulus and budget and there is more socialism, spending, and tax hikes to come when he begins to push through his national health care and cap and trade legislation. We would be fools to underestimate this man. Of course there is the persona of BHO which seems to have captured our nation’s callow youth, MSM, and depraved entertainment industry with his hipness, urban awareness, and politically savvy delivery. But scratch below the surface there remains a hardcore Marxist hellbent on reshaping Anerica forever. David Horowitz, being an intelligent scholar and former radical himself, should be all too familiar with this type. BHO is no way, shape or form a moderate by any reasonable standard.

This is a very suspicious article, picking up on liberal talking points, to rehabilitate Obama as a centrist and moderate who will help in the war in Afghanistan. We should not surrender on taxes, the Constitution, or the culture at home in order to rehabilitate this fraud as some kind of kinder, gentler moderate leader who would supposedly advance globalist Wilsonian goals while trashing our economy.

Mark Levin has the right take on this. We must resist statist expansion and tyranny. And call it out when we see it.

There are ALWAYS extremists exaggerating threats and making the Right sound kooky. In this case, Obama is the kook. The shoe fits. The chatter about him is not the problem. The tanking economy, the soaring deficits, and the threats to freedom from Obammunism are the problem. He is NOT a moderate reformer who won't be so bad.

The reasoning in the article is very sloppy. It sounds like liberal propaganda: "Republicans need to help Obama because he is a moderate whose ideas on Afghanistan aren't too bad." His ideas on the Constitution, the economy, taxation, abortion, and stem cell research funding ARE bad. Very bad. The worst we have EVER seen in our lifetime. Obammunism is a menace. Fouad Ajami was right when he compared the crowd adulation and swooning at Obama rallies to mob hysteria in Third World politics.
