In the same way, getting a job in the front-office of an I-bank is a better ticket to success than community organizing. Most front-office folks get into their MBA or law program of choice relatively easily- including Harvard (which is relatively easy to get into for non-thesis grad programs anyways- but that's another story.) Don't worry about me, though. Financial programmers don't work in the front office, so my grad degree will be from a state school. It may be a better ticket to business success, but it wouldn't be a better ticket to launching ones political career from Chicago.

Another Obama Marxist Barack Obama has a thing for Marxists. He befriends them, listens to their counsel, and he even hires them to work in his campaign. And they seem to feel the warmth. President Daniel Ortega of Nicaragua, who led a revolution there in 1979, says Barack Obama's presidential bid is a "revolutionary" phenomenon, and Americans are "laying the foundations for a revolutionary change." A captured computer revealed that an unknown person chatted with Marxist FARC guerillas on Obama's behalf (they believed), stating he would be the next President and US policy towards Columbia would change. Frank Marshall Davis, a dear Obama friend and mentor was as a member of the Communist Party USA. Barack Obama just seems to attract Marxists. Article

How's that for a source :) Let's see...of the umpteen thousands of people who potentially speak on "obama's behalf" how many are potentially speaking with Marxists? (eye roll)

I'm a little surprised you would stoop that low Jack. Or maybe it was Bill Richardson.....after all, he was down speaking with those marxist commie guerrillas in S. America over the weekend.

What is low about a factual statement? Obama has a relationtionship with Bill Ayers and his wife, who were noted leftist terrorists in the sixties, and members of The Weathermen. Even George Stephanopoulos noted it in the last debate, and he is certainly not biased in this regard.. Why would you want to avoid this fact?

Jack, It's not the fact that he had a "relationship" with Bill Ayers....it's the implication that Obama is a Marxist because of that relationship...a point which you most certainly can not prove. I have relationships with many people whose views I certainly do not agree with...

And McCain choosing such a venue is in no way comparable with saying someone had a "relationship" with someone and then implying they share similar views.

From the 2nd link: quote:
When Illinois State Senator Alice Palmer decided to retire in 1995, she hand-picked local left-winger Barack Obama as her successor. In order to introduce Obama to influential liberals in the district, she held a function at the home of Bill Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn. This was, really, the beginning of Obama's political career, and it linked him forever with Ayers and Dohrn, with whom, as his campaign has acknowledged, he continues to have a friendly relationship. Ok...so shall we start looking up every house party John McCain ever attended in his "coming out" days as a politician. I think not.

Well Tom, I don't post here to "bother" people. I do question the "guilt by association" line of thinking. I try not to judge any candidate based on appearances or speculation. If any one can post quotes by Obama (in context) that shows he is a Marxist...I'm all ears. To date, none of his proposed policies even resemble Marxism. Liberal? Certainly. But I guess that label is enough for some here. Rather than address specific policy issues, it's easier to throw scary labels around....

Well, I don't think he would set up a Stalinist regime if he were elected President, but I do think if he had his druthers he would appoint someone like Ayers as Secretary of Education or some such. Fortunately, the man seems to be running out of druthers.

Taking much of what he (and his wife) says, they have those leanings and looking at their supporters, it backs up those leanings. Anyway, from keeping from driving off the cliff, I pay attention to the warning signs. Do not need to see the cliff to know it is ahead.

I may be in need of an aluminum hat, but I see Obama as a real version of the "Manchurian Candidate". For he is surely something other than he is presenting himself as. Thanks RC

Thanks RC according to most of course he is. I mean he's already a racists, anti-American, Marxist, Islamic manchurian candidate with a scarey name that would throw his white grandmother/bigoted pastor under the bus and attend the million man march in his quest to bring about the rise of the anti-Christ and the end of the world with the help of Muslim extremists named Farrakhan, Osama and Hussein. I think that covers everything.
