And Obama in particular has HIDDEN most of his past from scrutiny.
see what Obama's classmate at Occidental said he was like, here:
Marlzberg: OK, So there's Barry Obama, and... tell me why you believe that he was a Marxist back then? Drew: OK, well my most vivid memory is how INSISTENT he was in arguing a Marxist / Leninist point of view. I was arguing a more moderate Marxist view that just said that even though a lot of Marxist ideas were correct, it was implausible that we would ever see a revolution led by the working class to overthrow the elite. And Obama did NOT buy that AT ALL. He made a very principled, dedicated, impassioned argument that in fact, a REAL revolution was coming. And in a sense, we should all get on board and prepare ourselves physically and emotionally for that revolution. ... Marlzberg: yea, and so, OK, he wasn't ambitious at the time. But the revolution, that he saw coming, this fit in with some other remarks you made, about the United States, where you say that you believe that Obama perceived America as the ENEMY. In what sense? Drew: He DEFINITELY saw America as the enemy. He believed that the ruling elite had rigged our economic system so that it CAUSED people to be poor. And it was immoral, and it was wrong, and the only way you could tip things back so we all could enjoy a more prosperous lifestyle, was to redistribute the wealth.
I also realized that Poll Position SHOULD have swapped pictures here, and put in Ron Paul's picture in 4th place, since Perry's numbers round UP to 5% and Paul's numbers round to 6%
Gingrich 32%, Romney 23% |
