I'm just thinking as I go here, but I do not think the problem with Obama is necessarily any of those that have been put forth. This is off the top of my head, I have not heard or seen anyone else put this forth, but I believe the problem with O is that he is the adult child of at least one alcoholic.

 

He is not for change, he is the changling, having learned at a very young age to adapt to whatever situation the alcoholic parent put him in. Additionally, he learned to alter his view points depending on the mood or disposition of the person in authority he was in front of. Charming and glib but completely devoid of integrity, he will spout what he believes will gain him acceptance at the moment.

 

He may not be racist, but if his racist pastor promotes racism, he is not going to disagree. He may not be for gun control, but if his handlers are, he is going to do what pleases them and gains him a modicum of acceptance and what he interprets as love.

 

I have to think about this more, but if I am even a smidgen correct, how are we going to fare as he sells us out to gain acceptance by world leaders? Not well I venture, and if I am right, this is even more scary than if he really was a racist, Marxist etc.. LL

He's is definitely anti gun!!!!

You miss the point. He may be nothing and believe in nothing. His actions are anti gun, but who or what controls his actions? The point is a bit abstract, but it is not completlely beyond grasp. If someone was paying me to smash old dinner plates, I might care a fig less about the plates and a lot about the money. The currency of an adult child of an alcoholic is acceptance. LL

Obama Affinity to Marxists Dates Back to College Days

Barack Obama shrugs off charges of socialism, but noted in his own memoir that he carefully chose Marxist professors as friends in college.

Barack Obama laughs off charges of socialism. Joe Biden scoffs at references to Marxism. Both men shrug off accusations of liberalism.

 

But Obama himself acknowledges that he was drawn to socialists and even Marxists as a college student. He continued to associate with Marxists later in life, even choosing to launch his political career in the living room of a self-described Marxist, William Ayers, in 1995, when Obama was 34.

 

Obama's affinity for Marxists began when he attended Occidental College in Los Angeles.

 

"To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully," the Democratic presidential candidate wrote in his memoir, "Dreams From My Father." "The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists."

 

Obama's interest in leftist politics continued after he transferred to Columbia University in New York. He lived on Manhattan's Upper East Side, venturing to the East Village for what he called "the socialist conferences I sometimes attended at Cooper Union."

 

After graduating from Columbia in 1983, Obama spent a year working for a consulting firm and then went to work for what he described as "a Ralph Nader offshoot" in Harlem.

 

"In search of some inspiration, I went to hear Kwame Toure, formerly Stokely Carmichael of …Black Panther fame, speak at Columbia," Obama wrote in "Dreams," which he published in 1995. "At the entrance to the auditorium, two women, one black, one Asian, were selling Marxist literature."

 

Obama supporters point out that plenty of Americans flirt with radical ideologies in college, only to join the political mainstream later in life. But Obama, who made a point of noting how "carefully" he chose his friends in college, also chose to launch his political career in the Chicago living room of Ayers, a domestic terrorist who in 2002 proclaimed: "I am a Marxist."

 

Also present at that meeting was Ayers' wife, fellow terrorist Bernardine Dohrn, who once gave a speech extolling socialism, communism and "Marxism-Leninism."

 

Obama has been widely criticized for choosing the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, an anti-American firebrand, as his pastor. Wright is a purveyor of black liberation theology, which analysts say is based in part on Marxist ideas.

 

Few political observers go so far as to accuse Obama, the Democratic presidential nominee, of being a Marxist. But Republican John McCain has been accusing Obama of espousing socialism ever since the Democrat told an Ohio plumber named Joe earlier this month that he wanted to "spread the wealth around."

 

Obama's running mate, Biden, recently contradicted his boss, saying: "He is not spreading the wealth around." The remark came as Biden was answering a question from a TV anchor who asked: "How is Senator Obama not being a Marxist if he intends to spread the wealth around?"

 

"Are you joking? Is this a joke? Or is that a real question?" an incredulous Biden shot back. "It's a ridiculous comparison."

 

But the debate intensified Monday with the surfacing of a 2001 radio interview in which Obama lamented the Supreme Court's inability to enact "redistribution of wealth" -- a key tenet of socialism. On Tuesday, McCain said Obama aspires to become "Redistributionist-in-Chief."

 

Obama has managed to cultivate the image of a political moderate in spite of his consistently liberal voting record. In 2006, he published a second memoir, "The Audacity of Hope," that leaves little doubt about his adherence to the left.

 

"The arguments of liberals are more often grounded in reason and fact," Obama wrote in "Audacity." "Much of what I absorbed from the sixties was filtered through my mother, who to the end of her life would proudly proclaim herself an unreconstructed liberal."

 

National Journal magazine ranked Obama as the most liberal member of the Senate. The publication is far from conservative, employing such journalists as Linda Douglass, who resigned in May to become Obama's traveling press secretary.

karl, i voted on saturday... unfortunately, so did my wife. we pretty much cancel each other out down the line... she is also a teacher, and relies on the WEA (Washington Education association, or something). too bad she won't open her eyes and see the light. education is her only sticking point, and the dems claim they'll give more money and support. since when is that the answer? those little brats have been coddled so much, they wont bother doing the work, no matter how nice the equipment is. these are 4th graders, and i am APPALLED at their lack of knowledge, spelling, letter shapes... yes, it is a low income school, but since when would that automatically mean they can't learn? little bastards.....

VOTE or stop bitching about failed policies and bad government. If you don't vote, you don't have a soapbox to stand on.

VOTE and exercise one of the God given, Constitutionally guaranteed rights you have as a citizen of the United States. Everyone wails about their loss of freedom; exercise your right to participate in Democracy!

 

 

 

Do something with your life - GO VOTE!!

 

 

(And vote for McCain while you're at it too.)

I'm preaching "VOTE" to those who will listen.

 

I'm not sure how to take some news on Limbaugh today, but there seems to be strong suggestion to evidence that there is a large movement abroad in the Obama factory to make the polls, boards, blogs, appear to be heavily swayed in the Obama favor. If that is truly the case, and I hope it is, this election could be a surprise. It will be interesting to see how it turns out. I still can't believe that most of the country wants socialism and there have to be a lot of very angry democrats out there!

They don't.

 

The foe is trying to create defeatism in the ranks of the good.

Close ranks and vote and all will be well.

Sorry to say my son-in-law is a union man. He came home from a union meeting with a printed guide on who to vote for. Not only is he stanch Demo but lacks the brains to think clearly. I'm not saying all unions are this way but the one he belongs to is VOTE AS WE SAY. Kind of like the late 30's in Europe. I have a really nice son-in-law but sometimes????

Maximum push all along the line.

We voted early today. I took today off to burn up a vacation day and do some errands, and while we were at the courhouse anyway to register my bike trailer, we went ahead and voted. So that's two NOBAMAs right there. It's gonna be close. The O is cheating big time with ACORN and all his other crooks, so we do need to win by a good margin to win. I put the odds at 55% Little Mac wins. Might be closer than that, but that is with minimal fraud. Oh, we had to sign that we were eligible to vote early, etc., under a penalty of $10,000. Arkansas knows how crooks and cheats work. Uncle Bill was the ultimate product of our state's political system.
