3 more Socialist-Marxist friends and supporters of Obama:
1. Harold Meyerson, writer and leader of theDemocratic Socialists of America. Myerson has great influence in the printed media. He once advised Obama before a speech in Washington DC to "say anything you think they want to hear".
2. Cornel West, professor, Socialist commentator and activist and also a leader of the Democratiuc Socialists of America. West recently wrote: "We are socialists because we reject an international economic order sustained by private profit"
3.Bernie Sanders, officially an Independent senator from Vermont but with a voting record only slightly less liberal than Obama. He said recently in an interview "If you ask me, 'Are you an independent democratic socialist?' — yes, I am.
Let's look back at Obama's relationship with Frank Marshall Davis. Obama had just returned to HI to finish high school. His mother, Stanley Ann had arranged for Davis to meet with her son. In his book Barack Obama only briefly mentions "Frank, a father figure". In writing this, Obama fails to mention Davis' name and does not identify him as a "known Communist" or even a "poet". Perhaps he realizes that the identy could possibly be embarassing or damaging to his political aspirations.
Obama became friends with Davis and he instructed him in Communist idealogy and the so called "worker's revolution".
Particularly confusing was Davis and the American Communists approach to the civil rights movement.
". . .Communists, including Frank Marshall Davis, used the civil-rights movement, and again and again exploited and undermined the NAACP. Romerstein lays this out at length in his report. He quotes Roy Wilkins of the NAACP, who rightly noted of Davis and his comrades: “they would now destroy the local branch of the NAACP.” They would do so after having destroyed another good civil-rights organization. “Comrade Davis,” wrote Wilkins, “was supported by others who recently `sneaked’ into the organization with the avowed intent and purpose of converting it into a front for the Stalinist line.” Wilkins knew well that this was a standard “tactic” by the communists; it was known by everyone involved in the NAACP at the time. Wilkins, like many civil-rights leaders of his time, refused to be duped by Davis and his comrades. Media defensiveness about Obama and his Communist associations : Stop The ACLU
Cliff Kincaid of Accuracy In Media describes an important mentor of Obama’s teenage years, who was a well-known Communist poet. Obama, in his book Dreams From My Father, writes about “a poet named Frank,” who visited them in Hawaii, read poetry, and was full of “hard-earned knowledge” and advice. Frank Marshall Davis, identified as a member of the CPUSA by the 1951 report of the Commission on Subversive Activities to the Legislature of the Territory of Hawaii, appears to have mentored young Barry from 1971 - 1979, when he left Hawaii for college. Davis’ biographer D. Kathryn Takara cites Davis’ “acute sense of race relations and class struggle throughout America and the world” and how he held forth on American imperialism, colonialism and exploitation. Professor Gerald Horne, contributing editor to the Marxist publication Political Affairs, muses about how future generations will note the significance of the relationship between Davis and Obama. Plumb Bob Blog » Barack Obama: Communist???
Davis, who moved to Honolulu from Kansas in 1948 "at the suggestion of his good friend Paul Robeson," came into contact with Barack Obama and his family and became the young man's mentor, influencing Obama's sense of identity and career moves. Robeson, of course, was the well-known black actor and singer who served as a member of the CPUSA and apologist for the old Soviet Union. Davis had known Robeson from his time in Chicago.
. . . Davis "befriended" a "Euro-American family" that had "migrated to Honolulu from Kansas and a young woman from this family eventually had a child with a young student from Kenya East Africa who goes by the name of Barack Obama, who retracing the steps of Davis eventually decamped to Chicago." Obama's Communist Mentor, Frank Marshall Davis
A look at the mother that fostered and developed Obama's Marxism
During Obama's campaign for the 2008 presidential election he portrayed his mother as a conservative girl from Kansas; however in reality she was a radical leftist and cutural Marxist. She lived in the Seattle area; spending her teenage years in Seattle's coffee shops with other young radical leftist. Obama claims his mother's family were conservative Methodists or Baptists from Kansas. However his mother's parents were members of a left-wing Unitarian church near Seattle. The church located in Bellevue, Washington was knicknamed "the little red church," because of its communist leanings
The school Ann attended, Mercer Island High School, was a hotbed of pro-Marxist radical teachers. John Stenhouse, board member, told the House Un-American Activities Subcommittee that he had been a member of the Communist Party USA and this school has a number of Marxists on it's staff. Two teachers at this school, Val Foubert and Jim Wichterman, both Frankfurt School style Marxists, taught a critical theory curriculum to students which included rejection of societal norms, attacks on Christianity, the traditional family, and assigned readings by Karl Marx. The hallway between Fouberts and Wichterman classrooms was sometimes called "anarchy ally."
Her family moved to Hawaii and Ann attended the University of Hawaii at Manoa, where she studied anthropology. When Ann Dunham arrived in Hawaii, she was a full fledged radical leftist and practitioner of critical theory. She also began to engage in miscegenation (inter-racial relationships) as part of her attack on society. Susan Blake, one of her friends has stated she never dated white boys, She had a world view, even as a young girl. It was embracing the different, rather than that ethnocentric thing of shunning the different. That was where her mind took her. In Hawaii she met Barack Obama, Sr. from Kenya in her Russian language class. Barack Obama, Jr. was born August 4, 1961.
Barack Obama, Sr. left Ann and their son in 1963 to attend Harvard in Boston. Press reports claim Ann Dunham and Barack Obama Sr. were divorced around this time; however, no evidence has yet been presented to show they were ever married. The senior Obama obtained a masters degree in economics at Harvard and returned to Kenya in 1965 where he obtained a position in the Kenyan government. He was killed in an automobile accident in 1982.
Two years later, when her son was five, Dunham married Lolo Soetoro, an Indonesian oil manager and practicing Muslim whom she meet at the university. In 1967 they moved to Jakarta, Indonesia. While in Indonesia Ann got a job at the American embassy teaching English. Barack's half-sister, Maya Soetoro was born in Indonesia. Ann, Obama and his sister Maya moved back to Hawaii. Ann Dunham soon returned toIndonesia with Maya but divorced Soetoro in the late 1970s.
Ann Dunham frequently left Barack and his sister Maya for months at a time. They were shuttled between relatives and friends. Eventually the only stable home they knew was with their maternal grandparents.
Dunham traveled around the world, pursuing a career in rural development that took her to Ghana, India, Thailand, Indonesia, Nepal and Bangladesh. In 1986 Ann Dunham worked on a developmental project in Pakistan. Later that year Ann and her daughter traveled the Silk Road in China. In 1992 she earned a Ph.D. in anthropology from the University of Hawaii. Her dissertation, "Peasant blacksmithing in Indonesia: Surviving and Thriving Against All Odds," was 1067 pages long. She worked for the Ford Foundation and promoted Microlending.
She continued her Socialist and Communist activities right up until her mid life death November 7, 1995
In an interview, Barack Obama referred to his mother as "the dominant figure in my formative years... The values she taught me continue to be my touchstone when it comes to how I go about the world of politics."
Let me quote from their statements about President Bush:
A Gentleman In The White House
By INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY | Posted Friday, June 08, 2007 4:20 PM PT
Leadership: George W. Bush has suffered more barbs than any president since Richard Nixon. His critics could never display the decency he has shown for more than seven years on the national political stage.
The Singular Vision Of George W. Bush
By INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY | Posted Friday, June 01, 2007 4:20 PM PT
The Presidency: Burdened by a Democratic Congress that can't see beyond the next election, at least the U.S. is blessed with a president with the ability to see a better future and the courage to take risks to achieve it.
Bush's Real Record On The Economy
By INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY | Posted Friday, May 04, 2007 4:20 PM PT
The Presidency: Years from now, pundits and academics will surely wonder why President Bush's greatest achievement — his stewardship of the economy — got so little notice during his time in office. Yet that's how it is.
Bush's Exit Strategy In Iraq Is Victory
By INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY | Posted Friday, May 18, 2007 4:30 PM PT
The Presidency: George W. Bush, obeying a U.N. mandate, set out to dethrone a mass murderer and an aggressive tyrant, expand democracy and take the war on terror to the enemy. He's done all that and more.
I strongly urge anyone who reads posts by the OP to take a close look at his source: an extreme rightwingnut organization that draws associations that are completely fabricated & heavily use language like socialism/communists to describe Democrats. Typical slander/lies so often the only recourse for desperate/despicable people who call themselves Republican.
All the editorials/articles have been posted to this web site by OP are from this extreme paranoid McCarthyistic lie machine. Doesn't it seem odd that all these purported socialistic/communistic tendencies of Obama haven't been reported in the real press/tv or even from the McCain camp? No, this is calculated slander that only cowards attempt to spin into fear - a Rove tactic that seems endemic to Republican thugs.
Talk about the worst friend one can keep, just read this about an Obama friend no American would ever support God, how can this man keep such acquaintances!
Can we really trust someone who is willing to funnel money to someone like this! It's Rezko X 100 to me. Someone needs to investigate this Clinton, like, now.
As Antonio (Tony) Rezko, good friend and business associate of Michelle and Barry Obama has supported Barack Obama financially in every political contest he has entered.
Tony Rezko was recently convicted of bribery of an elected official. He was known around Chicago for donating to political candidates and expecting to get favors in return. During the course of Barack Hussein Obama Junior's political career Rezko has donated a great deal of money to his campaigns. Since begining his prison term Rezko has informed associates that "once Barry (Obama) is elected he will commute my sentence and I'll be free as a bird."
Michelle Obama once represented Rezko. He had a slum Southside apartment building that he wanted to unload on an unsuspecting buyer. He had an investor who was willing to buy but the building failed inspections required by the city of Chicago prior to sale---TWICE! Rezko did not want to put money into the building for upgrades. Somehow, miraculously, after Michelle was hired to represent his company the building passed inspection without a thing being done to it. Rezko sold the slum and Michelle got a nice check. Go figure---but that's Chicago politics!
Then there is the Princely Barack Hussein Obama Junior Southside mansion which itself was purchased in what the Tribune called "a somewhat shady deal involving Tony (the sleeze) Rezko.
Barack Obama himself admits "it was a mistake".
It wasn't the first time the Obamas fell under the spell of the sleezemaster!
For years, it's been Rezko's practice to befriend up-and-coming political figures, from Blagojevich to the godson of former County Board President John Stroger. Rezko often weaves those political friendships into business ventures.
Rezko first reached out to Obama in about 1990 . . . Rezko and two real estate partners called out of the blue to offer a job building inner-city homes.

I realized that a few weeks ago, and just disregard the posts.
"It's not to say that there is already a revolution under way in the U.S. ... but yes, they (Obama) are laying the foundations for a revolutionary change,"---Nicaraguan Communist President Daniel Ortega
If Barack Obama is elected he may well appoint his friend, former Communist terrorist bomber William Ayers Secretary of Education. Ayers is a professor of education at the University of Chicago.
In the 1960's Ayers organized a group of terrorist bombers called "the Weathermen" who sought to bomb government buildings and kill the people inside. They successfully bombed several buildings but fortunately no people were killed. Ayers was caught and there was a mountain of evidence against him but he was never prosecuted for his crimes.
Ayers has never shown any remorse for his actions. In fact, as late as 2002 he is quoted as saying "I wish I had done more (bombing)".
Ayers has recently served as an education advisor to president Hugo Chavez and the Communist government of Venezuela on "using education to further the revolution".
