Obama: Getting To Know You, Getting To Know ALL About You …

“[Obama’s] never signed the front of a check, only the back of one.” — Edward Woodson

As we approach the dog days of August, Barack Obama — the Man Who Would Be King — has purloined a page from the sweaty playbook of Hanoi John Kerry (“I actually did vote for the $87 billion before I voted against it.”), accusing Mitt Romney, and by extension, everyone else who heard and read and perfectly understood his Friday the Thirteenth remarks (“You didn’t build that…”), of “taking my words about small business out of context.”  After all, says Barry, who are ya gonna believe? Me or yer lyin’ ears?

“Those ads … they’re flat out wrong.”

Barry’s problem, of course, is that the ads are not wrong, and anybody to the right of Karl Marx knows it. Straying from the script is a potential hazard for any radical running for office, but especially so for a covert communist who’s not yet been weaned from his ubiquitous teleprompter.  Obamie a Commie?  Of course he is, and it’s time to stop pretending he’s not.  An article by Herbert E. Meyer, special assistant to the director of Central Intelligence and vice chairman of the CIA’s National Intelligence Council during the Reagan administration only adds to the ever increasing mound of evidence pointing to Obama as America’s Big Red One, evidence that’s now so abundant that even the mainstream media finds it difficult to consign to the landfill in which they normally bury material unflattering to ‘Progressives’:

The Communist who’s the subject of the stunning new biography by Paul Kengor is Frank Marshall Davis.  He’s the black poet, journalist, and activist whom the young Barack Obama hung out with as a teenager in Hawaii, then wrote a weird, disturbingly affectionate poem about entitled “Pop” while a student at Occidental College.  He’s the man whom President Obama describes as his mentor in the latter’s autobiography, Dreams from My Father.

Here’s Kengor’s summary of the man our president so admires:

Frank Marshall Davis was a pro-Soviet, pro-Red China, card-carrying member of Communist Party USA (CPUSA).  His Communist Party card number was 47544 …

[…] here’s Kengor’s summary of our president’s beloved mentor’s political views:

Frank Marshall Davis:

• Rejected and blasted Winston Churchill;

• Vilified and targeted General Motors;

• Advocated wealth redistribution from (in his words) greedy “corporations” to “health insurance” and “public works projects”;

• Favored taxpayer funding of universal health care;

• Supported government stimulus and trumpeted the public sector over the private sector;

• Constantly bashed Wall Street;

• Dismissed traditional notions of American exceptionalism and framed American not as selflessly serving the post-World War II world but instead as selfishly flaunting its so-called “mountainous ego” and “racist-imperialist-colonialist” ambitions;

• Warned God-and-gun-clinging Americans about huckster preachers and instead sought the political support of the “social justice” Religious Left for various causes and campaigns;

• Perceived the Catholic Church as an obstacle to his vision for the state;

• Confidently declared certain government actions “constitutional” or “unconstitutional”;

• Excoriated the “tentacles of big business,” bankers, big oil, the “Big Boys,” “excess profits,” corporate fat cats and their “fat contracts,” “millionaires” and “rich men,” and the wealthy;

• Attacked “GOP” tax cuts that “spare the rich” and that only “benefit millionaires”;

• Singled out the “corporation executive” for not paying his “fair” share;

• Used slogans such as “change” and “forward.”

Does this near-perfect overlay between the political views of our president and those of his mentor — a card-carrying Communist whom, decades later, a rising Chicago politician would oh-so-carefully identify in Dreams from My Father only as “Frank” — strike you as merely a coincidence?  No?  I didn’t think so.  To borrow an old Kremlin adage that Frank himself would have heard, and probably used himself, a thousand times: Comrades, there are no coincidences. (The Commie’s Commie)

Then there’s the matter of Obama’s membership in the socialist New Party, as uncovered by Stanley Kurtz:

Barack Obama was, in fact, a member of the socialist New Party in the 1990s and sought its endorsement for the Illinois senate–contrary to the misrepresentations of Obama’s presidential campaign in 2008, and in spite of the efforts of Politico’s Ben Smith to quash the story. Stanley Kurtz, author of Radical-in-Chief: Barack Obama and the Untold Story of American Socialism (2010), has released new “smoking gun” evidence at National Review Online. It is evidence that the mainstream media can no longer ignore–and Obama can no longer deny. (Obama Caught Lying Again: He Was Member of ‘New Party,’ Says Kurtz)

The evidence is in.  It remains only for the jury — the American electorate — to render their verdict come November. As Jack Lord used to say in the old cops ‘n robbers show set in Obama’s home state of Hawaii, “Book ’em, Danno.”
