This is fun. Apparently someone read Obama's Book. Who knew?

And it was of all people, a (gasp!!) Fox News reporter.
I know what you all are thinking, and if you just wiggled in your seat a little just from reading the words "fox news" then you may just want to ignore this post. I realize of course most here will dismiss this by...now.
Just for the fact it from Fox News. Whatever. Your excused I guess, get the fuck outta here!:thumbsup:
For everyone else that could go on and read the article, here you go.
Basically, all excerpts from Osama's book.
Of course this is just horrible horrible journalism, the nerve of someone to read ButCrack's book and then talk about it! AWWW!
Well it's a good read.
I am going to read his book if he gets elected.
Probably in a prison camp somewhere on the arctic tundra, hopefully in the same cell as a certain VP candidate that may be able to help me survive in that kind of a climate. Yay.

Obama Affinity to Marxists Dates Back to College Days

Barack Obama shrugs off charges of socialism, but noted in his own memoir that he carefully chose Marxist professors as friends in college.


Barack Obama laughs off charges of socialism. Joe Biden scoffs at references to Marxism. Both men shrug off accusations of liberalism.
But Obama himself acknowledges that he was drawn to socialists and even Marxists as a college student. He continued to associate with Marxists later in life, even choosing to launch his political career in the living room of a self-described Marxist, William Ayers, in 1995, when Obama was 34.
Obama's affinity for Marxists began when he attended Occidental College in Los Angeles.
"To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully," the Democratic presidential candidate wrote in his memoir, "Dreams From My Father." "The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists."
Obama's interest in leftist politics continued after he transferred to Columbia University in New York. He lived on Manhattan's Upper East Side, venturing to the East Village for what he called "the socialist conferences I sometimes attended at Cooper Union."
After graduating from Columbia in 1983, Obama spent a year working for a consulting firm and then went to work for what he described as "a Ralph Nader offshoot" in Harlem.
"In search of some inspiration, I went to hear Kwame Toure, formerly Stokely Carmichael of Black Panther fame, speak at Columbia," Obama wrote in "Dreams," which he published in 1995. "At the entrance to the auditorium, two women, one black, one Asian, were selling Marxist literature."
Obama supporters point out that plenty of Americans flirt with radical ideologies in college, only to join the political mainstream later in life. But Obama, who made a point of noting how "carefully" he chose his friends in college, also chose to launch his political career in the Chicago living room of Ayers, a domestic terrorist who in 2002 proclaimed: "I am a Marxist."
Also present at that meeting was Ayers' wife, fellow terrorist Bernardine Dohrn, who once gave a speech extolling socialism, communism and "Marxism-Leninism."
Obama has been widely criticized for choosing the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, an anti-American firebrand, as his pastor. Wright is a purveyor of black liberation theology, which analysts say is based in part on Marxist ideas.
Few political observers go so far as to accuse Obama, the Democratic presidential nominee, of being a Marxist. But Republican John McCain has been accusing Obama of espousing socialism ever since the Democrat told an Ohio plumber named Joe earlier this month that he wanted to "spread the wealth around."
Obama's running mate, Biden, recently contradicted his boss, saying: "He is not spreading the wealth around." The remark came as Biden was answering a question from a TV anchor who asked: "How is Senator Obama not being a Marxist if he intends to spread the wealth around?"
"Are you joking? Is this a joke? Or is that a real question?" an incredulous Biden shot back. "It's a ridiculous comparison."
But the debate intensified Monday with the surfacing of a 2001 radio interview in which Obama lamented the Supreme Court's inability to enact "redistribution of wealth" -- a key tenet of socialism. On Tuesday, McCain said Obama aspires to become "Redistributionist-in-Chief."
Obama has managed to cultivate the image of a political moderate in spite of his consistently liberal voting record. In 2006, he published a second memoir, "The Audacity of Hope," that leaves little doubt about his adherence to the left.
"The arguments of liberals are more often grounded in reason and fact," Obama wrote in "Audacity." "Much of what I absorbed from the sixties was filtered through my mother, who to the end of her life would proudly proclaim herself an unreconstructed liberal."
National Journal magazine ranked Obama as the most liberal member of the Senate. The publication is far from conservative, employing such journalists as Linda Douglass, who resigned in May to become Obama's traveling press secretary.
Bill Sammon is the Washington deputy managing editor for FOX News Channel.


I guess you can say whatever you want, but this is basically Borat Osama very clearly communicating the very core of who he is. So the source is not so much Fox News, as it is the man himself. I don't even see how entertaining the notion to vote for him is even defendable really.

But if someone could enlighten me as to which parts are, "taken out of context", or "that's not what he meant", and set me straight on this I am all ears. I mean, it's his own book, that he wrote right? It's not exactly disputable is it, or is it?:wtf:

I don't believe he's the only guy in the world with the access to Obama's memoirs.

""Pot had helped, and booze; maybe a little blow when you could afford it. Not smack, though," he wrote, about having used illegal drugs when he was a high school student." - Barack Obama

Of course not! But it is interesting that he has written 2 books and what not, and you don't hear much about them. You would think the adoring media that fall all over him would be citing pages like it was the bible. Better wait till after the election though, and then just mandate an entire class to Obama in all government screwwls. For every grade, every year. And make them all eat just pie, all the time, and make everyone have short haircuts too, and....
You get it.
