What else you don't know about Obama boyhood

President tied to Bill Ayers' radical leftist organization from age 11

In 2009, WND exposed Obama’s attendance in a church Sunday school that espouses far-left politics and served as a sanctuary for draft dodgers from the Students for a Democratic Society during the time Bill Ayers was a leader in that organization.

WND had caught up with Rev. Mike Young, pastor of First Unitarian Church of Honolulu, who affirmed the congregation where Obama attended Sunday school as a boy has “always” been involved in political activism.

“We are involved in community organizing, helping churches in foreign countries, social justice issues, like making sure inmates get dinner,” said Young, speaking from Hawaii.

While Obama’s membership as an adult in the controversial Trinity United Church of Christ has received widespread media attention, almost nothing has been reported about his Sunday school attendance at First Unitarian, a far-left activist church that may have helped provide the president’s initial political education.

Andrew Walden, publisher and editor of the Hawaii Free Press, dug up newspaper clippings from that period as well as print editions of “The Roach,” an SDS publication describing the group’s draft-dodging activism, including at the Unitarian church.

In his autobiography, “Dreams from My Father,” Obama recounts on page 17 moving to Hawaii and being enrolled in the Unitarian church.

When Obama’s maternal grandmother died in November 2008, the memorial service, attended by the then-presidential candidate, was held in Honolulu’s Unitarian church.

The SDS connection to Obama’s boyhood church is instrumental. During the 2008 presidential campaign, Obama notoriously brushed off Ayers’ extremism as irrelevant since most of the Weathermen radical’s violent actions were carried out when Obama was a kid.

“This is a guy [Ayers] who lives in my neighborhood … the notion that somehow as a consequence of me knowing somebody who engaged in detestable acts 40 years ago – when I was 8 years old – somehow reflects on me and my values doesn’t make much sense,” Obama said in 2008.

Obama, however, likely learned values during his Sunday school days at the First Unitarian in the early 1970s.

Well, as a former business associate of mine once said “The only time God was mentioned in the Unitarian Church is when the janitor slipped on the way down the basement stairs, and it wasn’t in reverential terms.” No surprise on obama, more pieces in the jigsaw puzzle that explain why he is the way he is and should have never, under any circumstances, been elected to any public office in the U.S., much less the highest office in the land. The biggest mistake in U.S. electoral history. And if the U.S. survives, and the history books actually state the truth, that will surely be presented as such.

It’s clear that big “O” has no understanding of American Values and cultural traditions!

While Obama’s membership as an adult in the controversial Trinity United Church of Christ has received widespread media attention, ...

It has?! This comment is pretty laughable.

If you did some man-on-the-street interviews, I'd bet less than 4 in 10 people asked would even know who Jeremiah Wright is!

My question is, with this background and his natural arrogance, will O be able to accept a political defeat this Fall? I know it is likely he will win but the other is possible at this point. Having personally suffered through the 60’s and their political aftermath, I have the sinking feeling that “they” have won in the end.

How did a pothead / crackhead get into the most prestigious schools in the country?

There’s white guys who never do drugs, study hard and get good grades, and still don’t get into Harvard. And this screw-up does??

And where’s the wall-to-wall CNN / WashPo / NYT investigations of this and other Obama background matters, just like they did with the “Romney bullying”??

[cumbo78]

Does anyone else have a problem with the fact that Obama had to be reminded of the fact that he went to Sunday school at this facility? I don’t know about you, but I remember ever elementary school gym I ever played basketball in and I’m not half the narcissist the he his. LOL. Seriously though, he didn’t remember?

[MHGinTN]

The problem with your question is the presumption that little barry bastard commie ha told the truth on ANYTHING. He is thew perfect democrat, he lies all the time, even about trivial matters. Sadly, the commie media are his enabling protectors. Guillotine is the only solution to the fourth estate turned fifth column.

I wonder who is really responsible for feeding this kid some of the crazy notions he has in his head. Until ten, I understand he was with his mother in Indonesia. Although she was goofy, I doubt that she influenced him much in political matters. At 10, he was shipped home to live with the grandmother and grandfather. This is where he learned the goofy stuff from either the grandfather or the grandmother, or both I suspect. I wasn’t interested in his life enough to read about it. I read just enough to know that his grandfather had socialist leanings and his grandmother taught at Berkley.
