All you have to do to understand why Obama, or any generic affirmative action DemonRAT candidate has a built in advantage running for office is to listen to Sean Hannity’s man on the street interviews. The average “joe” or “jill” on the street embrace the idea that government should provide “cradle to grave” healthcare, child care, transportation, housing, and just about anything else that could be thought up. When asked about how the “from each according to their need, from each according to their ability” made sense, the majority thought that was great. Of course the reasons why people embrace Marxist ideology are probably varied, I believe the primary reason is twofold. First, we are seeing the results of five decades of social programming. From the education establishment, to Hollywood, and through government that embellish the ideas or moral relativism, collectivism, and a host of other subtle but insidious liberal dogma that promote the nonsense that all ideas and beliefs are equal, and that personal responsibility and ambition are, if not evil, at least suspicious.
Second, we have been living in the ever increasing era of “instant gratification” that predisposes people to succumb to schemes, scams and politicians that promise an easy or quick solution to all our needs.
The electorate is lazy, uneducated and impatient. Therefore they are easy pickings for smooth talking empty suits and their Communist puppet masters.

"Hannity"
The first thing Hannity should ask these morons if they've ever heard of Marx or communism before he starts asking if they're heard the Marx slogan ("from each according to his ability, to each according to his need"). I've heard at least one the idiots he's interviewed say he never heard of Marx. Without mentioning the proper framework, just about anyone could agree with that phrase.
