Well Done Stanley Kurtz - National Review Online

Obama’s Third-Party History - Stanley Kurtz - National Review Online:

Is it just me or do Obama supporters actually expend more effort denying facts that are provably true than they spend promoting plans and policies for good governance that are not. The most recent example of a fact they deny is outlined in this excellent article in National Review Online and quoted below:
  
Minutes of the meeting on January 11, 1996, of the New Party’s Chicago chapter read as follows:

Barack Obama, candidate for State Senate in the 13th Legislative District, gave a statement to the membership and answered questions. He signed the New Party “Candidate Contract” and requested an endorsement from the New Party. He also joined the New Party.


 The party’s official “statement of principles,” which candidates seeking endorsement from the Chicago chapter were asked to support, called for a “peaceful revolution” and included redistributive proposals substantially to the left of the Democratic party.

 What's a little contract between friends trying to start a "peaceful revolution"?

Democrat Socialists of America Event Headlined by Obama In 1996

The Redistribution of Wealth

Now, don't go using the information in the Gateway Pundit article to accuse President Obama of being a Socialist. Just because he was a featured speaker at the Democrat Socialists of America rally in 1996 is no reason to smear his reputation. And, his message at that meeting was redistribution of wealth, not socialism. But it does help to understand who President Obama is today from his real history. Where was this information in 2008? Must have been hidden in the same shoe box as his Choom stash.

At this event Obama opined that state governments have a role in the allocation of wages and jobs. Cool. I didn't know that. So those who have accused him of giving too much power to the federal government might need to adjust their thinking to a sharing of that responsibility between state and federal control of our lives. I feel much better knowing this little factoid.

Maybe this is what Obama means when he talks about community organizing. He gets to organize our communities. Which I must admit, is a phrase I had never before Barack Obama began his run to the Presidency.

Must be a Chicago thing. Can you get a degree in that field? This field of study must be where Obama learned to rewrite the history of contract law to wipe out bond holders at the whim of a President trying to protect labor unions. Property rights/smoperty rights who really believed in that hogwash anyway. Bondholders are devils.

So the next time you hear someone accuse the President of being a Socialist, just remember he speaks at their meetings, supports their goals and is supported by their leaders, but he is really just a redistributionalist, not a Socialist.

It appears that the one thing that Obama is good at is rewarding his supporters with taxpayer money. Who said Obama doesn't understand business, look at the rate of return his guys made from their investment in the Obama Presidency. An investment of $457,834 returned $11.35 billion dollars.

 [A]s Hoover Institution scholar Peter Schweizer reported in his book, “Throw Them All Out,” fully 71 percent of the Obama Energy Department’s grants and loans went to “individuals who were bundlers, members of Obama’s National Finance Committee, or large donors to the Democratic Party.” Collectively, these Obama cronies raised $457,834 for his campaign, and they were in turn approved for grants or loans of nearly $11.35 billion. Obama said this week it’s not the president’s job “to make a lot of money for investors.” Well, he sure seems to have made a lot of (taxpayer) money for investors in his political machine.

Now if that doesn't define "crony capitalism" what does?

Obama Bragging About Being a Father Pflaeger Friend. What About Ayers?

English: Bill Ayers speaks to audience members...
Obama, the born-again Catholic | The Daily Caller

President Obama is really trying to win over those abortion-hating mackerel snappers. Just read this to see how far he will go.

Anyway, here is a quote that is classic Obama, pandering when he feels like he has created a mess that needs cleaning up.
 "When I was a young community organizer, I was working with Catholic churches and they taught me that no government program can make as much of a difference as kindness and commitment on the part of neighbors and friends,” he said at a Colorado fundraiser earlier that day.
Obama should do a quick review of his policies and actions in office before he doubles down on this line of pandering. His actions and policies show no respect for the Catholics in this country. As a Catholic, I need a bath to wash this smell off. Insulting and disrespectful.

Apparently he rejected the lessons of the Church he recalls in this quote. The man has spent his whole presidency trying to prove that statement wrong.  His sole focus has been to increase the numbers of people dependent upon the government to further cement the death grip that the democrats have on the under-served of this country. In particular, the lemming-like following of the Democrats by 90% or more of the African American voters. One day, they will figure out how much the democrats are using this block vote for selfish reasons. Then, the African American vote will have some power. Until then, they are being taken for granted by the Democrats.

Now, when will he embrace an discuss his past and continuing relationship with terrorists Bill Ayers and his lovely wife?
