How Obama thinks................

Obama Sr. was an economist, and in 1965 he published an important article in the East Africa Journal called "Problems Facing Our Socialism." Obama Sr. wasn't a doctrinaire socialist; rather, he saw state appropriation of wealth as a necessary means to achieve the anticolonial objective of taking resources away from the foreign looters and restoring them to the people of Africa. For Obama Sr. this was an issue of national autonomy. "Is it the African who owns this country? If he does, then why should he not control the economic means of growth in this country?"
As he put it, "We need to eliminate power structures that have been built through excessive accumulation so that not only a few individuals shall control a vast magnitude of resources as is the case now." The senior Obama proposed that the state confiscate private land and raise taxes with no upper limit. In fact, he insisted that "theoretically there is nothing that can stop the government from taxing 100% of income so long as the people get benefits from the government commensurate with their income which is taxed

I have read so much about Obama ... I will read this too.
I believe he is a Communist with a chip on the shoulder when it comes to race. Is he a Muslim? Perhaps but he sees himself as higher than Mohammad. Obama is evil beyond words and very childish.
Nah, they’ll eiter totally ignore it or name call.
Remember these are simple minded people without style.
I sent the Forbes link to Drudge. If he picks up on it, the story could go nuclear. Just in time for the election, the story will serve to completely demoralize the Rats if it gets wide enough distribution.
Thanks. Great article.
How Obama thinks................
Actually, this article seems to show him as mentally unbalanced.
Very frightening.
Thanks!
“He obviously did not do this on his own merits or initiative, two qualities he sorely lacks.”
///////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
Left TOTALLY to his own initiative and merit he may have literally starved. He would be too narcissistic to ever take work for which he is actually qualified and is unqualified for any work he would be willing to do plus he obviously is not much interested in actual work of any kind.
“Obama grew to perceive the rich as an oppressive class, a kind of neocolonial power within America. In his worldview, profits are a measure of how effectively you have ripped off the rest of society, and America’s power in the world is a measure of how selfishly it consumes the globe’s resources and how ruthlessly it bullies and dominates the rest of the planet.”
Now this part was hilarious! MO probably spends a more than a million each year on clothes, jewelry and shoes. She had to have that Chicago mini mansion even when they couldn’t afford it so Rezko stepped in to help. So the bottom line is anyone BUT them is selfish if they are ‘rich”.
These low class ghetto pigs make me sick.
Nope like father like son.
“Problems Facing Our Socialism.”
Frednerks has a huge thread on this with incredible documentation and research but I can’t seem to find the thread. Fred, can you post the link to your thread on this thread please?
Good idea. Author has a book coming aout according to last paragraph...Maybe we should also send a heads up to FOX, RUSH and other talk show host. Author is President of Kings COllege...Thinks that’s in NYC
Rezko was just a mule....carrying money for Auchi and/or others.
Thanks for the ping. Are we up the stinky creek or what?
Yes, very good.
Great article, but a part of me hates reading this sort of thing anymore, because every time I do I get so PO’d (AGAIN) at all the birdbrains that voted for this Marxist fraud.
Further complicating the matter is the fact that Obama almost certainly didn't write Dreams From My Father. Instead, the book was William Ayers' doing.
Conceivably, Obama could have romanticized the father who abandoned him and he never knew. But Obama's anti-imperialist views aren't far removed from Ayers', either.
ping ==== interesting
For later
