"It's not that I want to punish your success, I want to make sure that everybody who is behind you, that they've got a chance for success, too. My attitude is that if the economy's good for folks from the bottom up, it's gonna be good for everybody. I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody."

He's not a socialist, right? Why would he say such things?

Barack Obama Sr. - COMMUNIST

"What is more important is to find means (taxes) by which we can redistribute our economic gains to the benefit of all...This is the government's obligation. ... Theoretically, there is nothing that can stop the government from taxing 100% of income so long as the people get benefits from the government commensurate with their income which is taxed. ... I do not see why the government cannot tax those who have more and syphon some of these revenues into savings which can be utilized in investment for future development." Barrack Obama Sr, 1965 scholarly paper, "Problems Facing Our Socialism."

Frank Marshal Davis - Close friend of Obama's Grandfather, COMMUNIST

"The visits to his (Davis') house always left me feeling vaguely uncomfortable, though, as if I were witnessing some complicated, unspoken transaction between the two men, a transaction I couldn't fully understand" - Dreams of my Father

Obama's mentor from age 10.

John L. McKnight - a renowned disciple of Saul (The Red) Alinski - Proponent of a international socialist revolution - SOCIALIST.

Obama describes McKnight as an "older man who had been active in the civil rights efforts in Chicago in the sixties" – but stops short of identifying him by name. He referred to him only as "my friend."

Board Director - Gamaliel Foundation
Obama worked for a subsidiary of Gamaliel from 1985 to 1988.

McKnight wrote a letter of recommendation for Obama to enter Harvard.

While at harvard, Obama worked with the Industrial Areas Foundation (Alinski Founded and connected to Gamaliel and McKnight) and presumably taught Alinski tactics at the Greater Boston Interfaith Organization (GBIO) near Harvard.

This is a picture of Obama teaching Alinski tactics during that time period.

Bill Ayers - Leader of Students for a Democratic Society (SDS) - MARXIST

Leader in the Weather Underground - Domestic terrorists that bombed several locations, including the Pentagon and police stations.

Ayers was in New York during the time that Obama was in Columbia and many speculate they actually first met there. It's difficult to know because of the super-sectret cone of silence around Obama's Columbia years.

Ayers supports Hugo Chavez (Marxist) and his stepson, Chesa Boudin, has gone to Caracas as an "adviser" to Chavez.

Ayers has been reported to have visited the Chavez government several times, including involvement "in the revolutionary process."

Obama had his political "coming out" party at Ayers house.

Obama lied about the full scope of his relationship with Ayers and has changed his story several times, as info has become known.

Luo Raila Odinga - Reported to be Obama's 1st Cousin - SOCIALIST

Obama campaigned with Odinga in 2006

"Mr. Odinga and Mr. Obama were nearly inseparable throughout Mr. Obama's six-day stay. The two traveled together throughout Kenya and Mr. Obama spoke on behalf of Mr. Odinga at numerous rallies. In contrast, Mr. Obama had only criticism for Kibaki. He lashed out against the Kenyan government shortly after meeting with the president on Aug. 25. "The [Kenyan] people have to suffer over corruption perpetrated by government officials," Mr. Obama announced.

"Kenyans are now yearning for change," he declared. The intent of Mr. Obama's remarks and actions was transparent to Kenyans - he was firmly behind Mr. Odinga.

Mr. Odinga and Mr. Obama had met several times before the 2006 trip. Reports indicate Mr. Odinga visited Mr. Obama during trips to the U.S. in 2004, 2005 and 2006. Mr. Obama sent his foreign policy adviser Mark Lippert to Kenya in early 2006 to coordinate his summer visit. Mr. Obama's August trip coincided with strategizing by Orange Democratic Movement leaders to defeat Mr. Kibaki in the upcoming elections."

Michael Klonski - Obama's Education expert - COMMUNIST/MARXIST/MAOIST

Former National SDS Leader (terrorist Ayers' group that became the violent Weather Underground)

"Klonsky’s communist pedigree could not be clearer. His father, Robert Klonsky, was an American communist who was convicted in the mid-Fifties for advocating the forcible overthrow of the United States government — a violation of the Smith Act, anti-communist legislation ultimately gutted by the Supreme Court. In the Sixties, Klonsky the younger teamed with Ayers, Dohrn, and other young radicals to form the Students for a Democratic Society. It was out of the SDS that Ayers and Dohrn helped found the Weatherman terrorist group."
