Re: [Marxism] "Obama sex perv scandal"

[David Thorstad <binesi@xxxxxxxxx>]

Not sure I'm being scolded by Fred for sending this article along, or 
for "adding my tidbit." If the latter was meant by my noting that Davis 
(whom His Hopefulness excised down to only his first name in his 
autobiography) was a Communist Party member, I think that's very 
relevant and interesting. So is the fact that Obama tried to hide the 
fact. As for the /Enquirer/'s accusations, none of them struck me as 
terribly awful, and, if it's true that Davis had the young Obama write 
dirty limericks, that can only endear both him and Obama to me.
    I first learned months ago about Obama's cover-up of his CP mentor's 
identity from a CP member friend of mine, who posted the information on 
an Obama official blog. I see no reason not to publicize any of this, 
nor do I feel any need to defend a capitalist politician from such 
revelations, most especially since I have no information that they are 
not true.
    Obama is a major oinker, no better than any other Republicrat 
politician and as big a snake. Instead of the half measures being 
proposed by most candidates, including the reformist ones (and including 
at least one Trotskyist group, as I pointed out in an earlier post that 
went ignored), it is a measure of how pathetic this election fraud has 
become that even a minimal program such as the one I suggested sounds 
radical instead of merely sensible:
    - Nationalize all the big banks and the Federal Reserve.
    - Socialize medicine and throw the insurance companies out of the 
health care industry.
    - Close all U.S. bases abroad and pull all U.S. troops out of every 
foreign country they are in.
Obviously, much more is needed (e.g., nationalize the energy industry), 
but at least that's a start.
