Americans have a bad habit of thinking not only that everybody else should be like us, but far too often assuming that every well-educated charming person in the world, IS fundamentally just exactly like us in thought, actions and goals. In the case of Barak Obama, however, never has this American tendency toward gullibility been more misplaced. Barak Obama is as different from the “common American people” he professes to care about as venom is from water. Can this be so? If there is any truth to the old adage, “the fruit never falls far from the tree,” it is so.
By some “hook,” but mostly by a lot of “crook,” Barak Obama is making good on his threat to “fundamentally transform America.” That is, to transform America into his vision of America, not yours. Thanks to the reverence accorded him by the left-leaning mainstream media, very little is actually known about Obama, their president, but certainly not Rajjpuut’s and hopefully (as more and more Americans learn more and more about him from background, action and inconguency of his words) not your president either.
He was elected to the senate in late 2004. He then began running for the oval office almost immediately and resigned from the senate without serving even a full three years there, being absent from an incredible amount of senate votes and voting “present” on numerous occasions in the nominal 46 months he was in office. When he did cast an actual substantive vote, he piled up a record even left of Ted Kennedy. His speed in hopping from the senate into the oval office and also the shimmering cape of invisibility and benign nostalgia covering his early life makes Barak Obama the largest enigma that has ever occupied 1600 Pennslyvania Avenue.
Obama completed two autobiographies before he completed twenty months in the U.S. Senate, though in truth “Dreams of My Father was definitely written by Bill Ayers, the convicted bomb-planting terrorist who up until Obama decided to put more troops into Afghanistan ten days ago considered Barak Obama a close personal friend (Ayers recently helped lead a protest over "the surge" through the streets of Chicago). Ayers finished compiling, writing and editing Obama’s book from a pile of notes and transcribed interviews and it was published in the middle of 1995. The story of how Ayers’ authorship was discovered, years before Ayers himself admitted it can be found here:

An incredible amount of “Barak’s adventures, comments and observations” seemingly came directly from three of Ayers’ own books with only slight dilution. The job was made easier because Ayer began his own career (as a radical left-wing activist) as a Cleveland community organizer. Both Ayers and Barak Hussein Obama, Jr. apparently learned a lot from the mistakes of his father Barak Hussein Obama, Sr. The elder Obama lost his powerful post in the fledgling Kenyan government because according to Barak, Jr.’s half sister “He couldn’t keep his mouth shut” about transforming Kenya into Marxist Eden. Barak, Jr. has not made that same mistake . . . he’s never openly admitted that he sees himself transforming America into a communist paradise, nor for public consumption ever admitting to socialistic, Marxist or communist leanings.
Aloud and quite often in print as well, Barak, Sr. was notorious for incessantly pushing the leaders of Kenya to expedite implementation of a communist government. Several times he used the phrase “100% tax” in justification of and laying the groundwork for understanding the principles of “a more fair and productive economy.”
It’s not known if the credit goes to Ayers or Obama or both for failure to mention that Barak Obama, Jr.’s mother was a communist, his father whom he communicated with often (despite the mainstream media’s implication there was almost no contact between them) until the older man’s death, was a communist and most importantly his grandfather and the people his grandfather brought into the household to enlighten Barak were quite famous communists like Frank Marshall Davis the poet and briefly later in Chicago Saul Alinsky, the author of “Rules for Radicals.” Marshall counselled Barak both in Hawaii and later in Chicago and with his grandfather, mother and father brought the most enduring influences to young Barry (he did not like the name 'Barak' early on and attended college as 'Barry Soweto' taking the surname of his mother's second husband an Indonesian Muslim businessman).
His grandfather Stanley Armour Dunham who arranged Obama's mentorship chiefly by Frank Marshall Davis, was, of course, also the father of and chief inspiration for Barak Obama’s mother whom he named after himself, Stanley Ann Dunham. Marshall advised Barak to be very careful around Whites, since “they can only understand so much” about the Black struggle “the rest is lost on them.” And from early on mother, grandfather and the poet Marshall had him understanding, the evils of capitalism and our American society based upon evil capitalism. Later Barak, as a community organizer taught courses based upon Alinsky's "Rules for Radicals." Unfortunately, while Alinsky was too free a thinker to ever join anything where he wasn't pretty much in charge, whether it was Christianity or Marxism, Obama had long been a "true-believer" in the necessity for Marxism and he did everything he did truly believing that he was doing good for the downtrodden masses and army of oppressed workers and people of color.
His mother met Barak, Sr. at a Russian class at Hawaii U. Born a “red-diaper baby,” Barak, Jr., by the time he was in high school in Honolulu and met Barak, Sr. and spent a month with his father had undoubtedly spent at least a dozen years fighting communism’s “battle of dialectic materialism.” You can imagine young Barak being told repeatedly about “the mission;” "justice for the workers;” “the war between history’s oppressed and capitalism.”
Hearing his mother and his grandfather saying almost from the time Barak learned to talk, “We are in a war, for the people" had to carry a huge impact in the boy's life. Most kids don't ever get enough attention from adults; young communists canNOT escape constant indoctrination by every adult who knows them. "Look around you, see how hard the common man must work. Look at the things going on in this city, do you think the cooks, the waiters and waitresses, the cab drivers, the people who toil in the pineapple fields do you think they’re getting a fair shake from the capitalists? Those people are like grotesque weeds in a garden . . . until they’re pulled the garden can’t thrive.”
By the time he met his father Barak, Sr., he’d probably heard the “hard stuff” about Marx, Lenin, Stalin, Mao, Alinsky and just maybe about Cloward and Piven, names he could never speak openly except when among “fellow travellers. ”So great was Barak’s antipathy toward things capitalistic that in “Dreams From My Father” he tells about working at his only real job in the corporate world and feeling “like I was behind enemy lines” one of about thirty parallel constructions (some of them several paragraphs long) between “DfMF” and the books of Ayers. In any case, whoever wrote it, the line was in Obama's book.
Saul Alinsky was a communist-sympathizing community organizer and while exactly how much of a personal influence Alinsky was upon Barak is fairly debatable, one thing is certain, he was an important influence, if only by his reputation for audacious and highly imaginative ways of bringing the plight of the poor to the attention of the authorities and general public. Alinsky’s sense of America, however, is clearly not shared by Barak Obama. Obama took the infamous “Cloward-Piven” strategy that George Wiley used to bankrupt New York City, and almost the entire state, in 1975 and with his sidekicks from ACORN turned it upon the United States as a whole . . . while Alinsky apparently loved America while severely criticizing her inequities, Obama's patriotism is yet to be shown.
Once again Barak learned a valuable lesson from his father, while Wiley, Piven and Cloward openly bragged and documented their “feats” in putting six million extra people on the welfare rolls from 1967-1975 which they hoped would force the United States toward open revolution and definitely, they thought, force Congress into “redistribution of wealth” via enactment of a “guaranteed wage” law. Barak -- who with ACORN abused CRA ’77; and the ’92 Freddy and Fanny mortgage-guarantee acts to shakedown and blackmail lenders into forced home loans to ultra-high risk borrowers – was too wise to brag about his “accomplishments.” Certainly when Bill Clinton’s ’98 mortgage guarantee legislation and ACORN’s later tactic of enrolling illegal aliens for mortgage-guaranteed loans put the whole process on steroids . . . Obama’s earlier work lost much of its glitter but, doubt not, Barak Obama was a pioneer in putting into motion the process that brought America to its knees in 2008.
Most of those same laws are still on the books and ACORN is still enlisting foot soldiers (the poor) for the revolution with the same Cloward-Piven aims in mind. Thus Barak Obama believes he holds a “heads, I win, tails, you lose,” proposition in his hand. Plan A: his ridiculous economic measures not only gain unprecedented centralized power for the Democratic Party and himself but actually work and he is nominated for savior, etc. Plan B: still blaming the Republicans for the mess he and leftist Democrats created, the country can be totally bankrupted, most importantly the 50 individual states can be totally bankrupted making the term “United States” meaningless as all things shift to a powerful centralized government expected to save us all and even more quickly than we’ve seen so far . . . a Marxist totalitarian state is created, with guess who playing the role of Big Brother?
Ya’all live long, strong and ornery,
