I would ask you to read read and read about those folks who influenced Sen Obama in his first years in Chicago as an organizer...and in fact read read about all the folks who he considers his mentors and teachers. This is what scares me about Sen Obama. He is steeped in marxism and socialism. Could he become mainstream instead of far left...maybe.
