“Thank God the American People are not nearly as sophisticated as most of the posters on this forum.

All they sense is that there is something not right about Obama.”

1. In his 1995 book, “Dreams of My Father” Obama writes approvingly and admiringly of his biological father’s ideas and ideals. Who is Obama Sr.? A member of Kenya’s Communist Party, whose education in the United States was paid for, through intermediaries, by the Soviet Union. When his patron became, briefly, the President of Kenya he appointed Obama Sr. as the chief economist for the nation. The position paper he published outlining how he would organize Kenya’s economy elaborated on the principles of expropriation of foreign firms, 100% taxation and then redistribution from the State, and collectivization of agriculture. This is the Leninist and Stalinist regime. And did I mention that this man who was also a polygamist, boozer, and woman abuser also abandoned young Barack and his mother?

2. Obama Jr.’s mother was a Marxist anthropologist, whose ideas young Obama approves of, with modifications (what those are we do not know).

3. Soetero, young Obama’s stepfather was an Indonesian Communist, whose scholarship and passport were pulled in the 1965 Suharto event. When he returned to Indonesia he got rid of his Communist identity and got with the Islamic practices. He was nominally a Muslim, and on the side was a womanizer and drinker. Young Obama’s mother nagged him and fought with him when he took a job with oil firms doing public relations work.

4. In Hawai’i, years later young Obama’s mentor, selected by his fellow-traveling grandparents, was none other than Frank Marshall Davis, member of the Communist Party USA. Frank Davis made quite an impression on young Obama and influenced his ideological direction and career choices.

5. At Occidental College and at Columbia University Obama states clearly in his autobiography that he would seek out Marxist/Socialist professors and take classes with them and seek their advice.

6. At Columbia University he befriends an ally of Edward Said’s, Prof. Rashid Khalidi, a member of the terrorist organization the PLO.

7. His essential matriculation into Chicago political culture involves being acquainted with two Communists who were unrepentant terrorists who engaged in bombing and murder: William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn.

Yes we are sophisticated here, you cowardly interloper on this weblog who has nothing substantial to say except to stick your middle finger at us. Screw you.
