The Commies Just LUV Obama	In his remarks to the National Committee of the Communist Party USA (CVPUSA), Sam Webb, the CPUSA's National Chair said the following: I make no attempt to be comprehensive in these remarks. My aim is much more modest, as you will see. Let me begin with a simple observation: If the last 30 years were an era of reaction, then the coming decade could turn into an era of reform, even radical reform. Six months into the Obama presidency, I would say without hesitation that the landscape, atmosphere, conversation, and agenda have strikingly changed compared to the previous eight years. In this legislative session, we can envision winning a Medicare-like public option and then going further in the years ahead. We can visualize passing tough regulatory reforms on the financial industry, which brought the economy to ruin. We can imagine the troops coming home from Iraq and Afghanistan while U.S. representatives participate in a regional process that brings peace and stability to the entire region. In the current political climate, the expansion of union rights becomes a real possibility. Much the same can be said about winning a second stimulus bill, and we sure need one, given the still-rising rate, and likely long term persistence, of unemployment. Isn’t it possible in the Obama era to create millions of green jobs in manufacturing and other sectors of the economy in tandem with an attack on global warming? Can’t we envision taking new strides in the long journey for racial and gender equality in this new era, marked at its beginning by the election of the first African American to the presidency? And isn’t the overhaul of the criminal justice and prison system -- a system steeped in racism--– no longer pie-in-the sky, but something that can be done in the foreseeable future? All these things are within reach now! Continue reading here . . . This is the second homage from the CPUSA this month -- and it's only the 7th! Here's the first. Obama has been extremely close to communists and other flavors of Marxists since the age of 12 -- Frank Marshall Davis; Alice Palmer; Mike Klonsky; and Bill Ayers are well documented communists -- and these were Obama's "mentors." Many of his professors and associates are described as Marxists. In his book, Obama says he sought out the Marxist professors, and spent many hours at the Marxist-Socialist conferences at Cooper Union. Of course, if one were to even hint that Obama might be a communist, they would be scorned and ridiculed -- even when he repeatedly speaks and acts like one. I often think of this line, spoken by the Kevin Spacey character in "The Usual Suspects," in relationship to Obama's politics -- "The greatest trick the devil ever pulled, was convincing the world it didn't exist." -- is the greatest trick Obama ever pulled convincing people he's a democratic American?
I Am Not Naïve	Rosslyn Smith writes -- That brief statement of Barack Obama's last month seems every bit as risible as Richard Nixon's "I am not a crook", after one reads the article on the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty Obama wrote for the student newspaper his senior year at Columbia. The New York Times rediscovered the student article on Independence Day and seems to want to spin it as a sign of the president's deep nature. He railed against discussions of "first- versus second-strike capabilities" that "suit the military-industrial interests" with their "billion-dollar erector sets," and agitated for the elimination of global arsenals holding tens of thousands of deadly warheads. The student was Barack Obama, and he was clearly trying to sort out his thoughts. In the conclusion, he denounced "the twisted logic of which we are a part today" and praised student efforts to realize "the possibility of a decent world." But his article, "Breaking the War Mentality," which only recently has been rediscovered, said little about how to achieve the utopian dream. Unfortunately that sorting out process hasn't exactly progressed in 26 years. Obama's plans for a nuclear free world today are just as chock full of high sounding rhetoric and wishful thinking and just as bereft of details as they were when he was a senior at Columbia as to exactly how one is to accomplish such a lofty goal in a world of rogue nations. Conveniently forgotten by The Times is that all the nuclear freeze movement predictions Obama supported about the shape of the future were wrong. Instead of leading to a nuclear Armageddon, the increases in defense spending under Reagan led to the collapse of the Soviet Union and the Eastern block. Obama seems determined to continue to pursue the policy goals he held as a student instead of learning from two decades of subsequent real world events. What is even more disturbing is how people like Richard Lugar continue to give Obama high marks for "being a good listener" and a "serious student" as they patronizingly give him a pass on the implementation of workable plans. Most Americans outgrew their student mode shortly after they had to earn a living for themselves in jobs that had more quantifiable performance criteria than community organizing, Obama naive? Throw in sophistic, jejune and purblind to everything isn't a neat fit into ideological cubby holes that haven't change in two decades and you'll be on the right track. Frank Gaffney sums it up in Commentary: "If the implications were not so serious, the discrepancy between Mr. Obama's plans and real-world conditions would be hilarious," said Frank J. Gaffney Jr., a Reagan-era Pentagon official who directs the Center for Security Policy, a private group in Washington.
Hospital Won't Back Obama	The hospital in Hawaii where Barack Obama claims he was born refuses to produce any documentation -- or even confirm the claim -- without permission of Obama himself. The Kapi'olani Medical Center for Women and Children in Honolulu has posted on its website a letter on White House stationery dated Jan. 24 in which Obama wrote, "As a beneficiary of the excellence of Kapi'olani Medical Center -- the place of my birth -- I am pleased to add my voice to your chorus of supporters." Kristy Watanabe, the public relations specialist for the hospital refused to confirm or deny the veracity of Obama's letter claiming he was born at the hospital. "Our comment to everyone who has been calling is that federal law does not permit us to provide any more details concerning information [about Obama's birth] without authorization from Mr. Obama," Watanabe said. When WorldNetDaily asked Watanabe why the hospital did not contact Obama to ask for authorization, especially given the number of phone calls the hospital was receiving with the request, Watanabe said: "This is our response, and we can't say anything more than that." When asked if a hypothetical elected official pretended to be born at the hospital, would federal law prevent her from disclosing that? If so, which federal law would that be? "It's just our policy that without permission we don't ever answer questions about babies born in the hospital," she said. This is not the first time Kapi'olani and other Hawaiian hospitals have slammed the door on attempts to ascertain specifics about Obama's birth. Well, this account, from the Honolulu Star-Bulletin casts doubt on both Obama and the Kapi'olani Medical Center. According to this account, Obama was born at Queen's Medical Center. Here, Obama, himself, says he was born at Queen's Medical Center. According to Obama's Kenyan step-grandmother Sarah, he was born at the Coast Provincial General Hospital in Mombasa, Kenya. That's three hospitals that the Obama family has identified as his birthplace. It used be "George Washington slept here." Now it's Barack Obama was born here. There will soon be signs everywhere. Of course this is the problem with Obama and his mythical biography. There are no hard facts. There's is no "rock solid evidence" about Obama's life from the year before he was born until he returned from Indonesia to Hawaii. Then there’s only shaky evidence. There is no reason to believe anything that comes from Obama or his sycophants. There are too many unknowns and too many outright lies. Obama owes the American People the truth.
A Threat To Freedom	Jumping in Pools blog says that most liberals believe that national security is a threat to freedom, when in reality national security, is the first & last defense for freedom for the United States, and in most cases the entire world. The national security of America is above and beyond almost every other nation on earth. We have to thank our great servicemen, generals, Commanders in Chief (some, not all), and the Founders of this nation, among other things. We have defeated tyranny, fascism, terrorism, socialism, Marxism, communism, radicalism, etc. over the timeline of 233 years as a nation. We have become the superpower of the world, not through force, but through our Constitution of Freedom. All we fight for and represent is freedom. That is sadly beginning to be destroyed by emperor Obama. • When given the chance to stand strong for freedom in Iran, he ignored them. • When given the chance to stand strong for freedom and constitution in Honduras, he supported the dictator. • When given the chance to stand strong for American values overseas on numerous trips, he called us arrogant. Obama has also ignored the grave threat of North Korea and an Iranian nuclear program -- which he actually gave his blessing to. He has cut our defense budget, and is specifically targeting "missle defense" and the F-22 fighter. I guess the US Air Force is no longer needed. He is putting us at risk by wanting to allow terrorists free in America, and has sent them to various nations with bribes, when we could just keep them at Gitmo for less money, and a lower threat of another attack against America. Worst of all, Obama has destroyed our alliance with Israel, and has even ignored and insultedthe British -- our strongets allies. Now, Obama is meeting with the Russians, attempting to reach another "nuclear arms" treaty, that could include the elimination of American nukes. That would be a travesty, as America should always have nuclear weapons. It is the forces of evil that must have no nuclear devices. When faced with the threat that the Senate would not approve this treaty, Obama's people said they would ignore the US Constitution (next item). Obama's national security is appeasement, it is weakening our military, it is weakening our alliances with the forces of good in the world, it is ignoring dangerous threats, and directly standing for dictators -- it is a threat to America's Freedom.
