OBAMA'S COLLEGE CLASSMATE SPEAKS OUT

By Wayne Allyn Root , June 6th, 2010
Barack Hussien Obama is no fool. He is not incompetent.
To the contrary, he is brilliant. He knows exactly what he's doing.
He is purposely overwhelming the U.S. economy to create systemic failure,
economic crisis and social chaos -- thereby destroying capitalism and
our country from within.
Barack Hussien Obama was my college classmate

( Columbia University , class of '83).
He is a devout Muslim do not be fooled.
Look at his Czars...anti-business..anti- american.
As Glenn Beck correctly predicted from day one, Barack Hussien Obama is
following the plan of Cloward & Piven, two professors at Columbia University ..
They outlined a plan to socialize America by overwhelming the system
with government spending and entitlement demands.
Add up the clues below. Taken individually they're alarming. Taken as a whole, it is a brilliant, Machiavellian game plan to turn the United States into a socialist/Marxist state with a permanent majority that desperately needs government for survival ... and can be counted on to always vote for bigger government.
Why not? They have no responsibility to pay for it.
Universal health care . The health care bill had very little to do with health care. It had everything to do with unionizing millions of hospital and health care workers, as well as adding 15,000 to 20,000 new IRS agents (who will join government employee unions).
Obama doesn't care that giving free health care to 30 million Americans will add trillions to the national debt.
What he does care about is that it cements the dependence of those 30 million voters to Democrats and big government . Who but a socialist revolutionary would pass this reckless spending bill in the middle of a depression?
Cap and trade. Like health care legislation having nothing to do with health care, cap and trade has nothing to do with global warming.
It has everything to do with redistribution of income, government control of the economy and a criminal payoff to Obama's biggest contributors. Those powerful and wealthy unions and contributors (like GE, which owns NBC, MSNBC and CNBC) can then be counted on to support everything Obama wants.
They will kick-back hundreds of millions of dollars in contributions to Obama and the Democratic Party to keep them in power. The bonus is that all the new taxes on Americans with bigger cars, bigger homes and businesses helps Obama "spread the wealth around."
Make Puerto Rico a state. Why? Who's asking for a 51st state? Who's asking for millions of new welfare recipients and government entitlement addicts in the middle of a depression?
Certainly not American taxpayers. But this has been Barack Hussien Obama's plan all along.
His goal is to add two new Democrat senators, five Democrat congressman and a million loyal Democratic voters who are dependent on big government.
Legalize 12 million illegal Mexican immigrants.
Just giving these 12 million potential new citizens free health care alone could overwhelm the system and bankrupt America . But it adds 12 million reliable new Democrat voters who can be counted on to support big government. Add another few trillion dollars in welfare, aid to dependent children, food stamps, free medical, education, tax credits for the poor, and eventually Social Security .
Stimulus and bailouts. Where did all that money go?
It went to Democrat contributors, organizations (ACORN), and unions -- including billions of dollars to save or create jobs of government employees across the country. It went to save GM and Chrysler so that their employees could keep paying union dues.
It went to AIG so that Goldman Sachs could be bailed out (after giving Obama almost $1 million in contributions).
A staggering $125 billion went to teachers (thereby protecting their union dues). All those public employees will vote loyally Democrat to protect their bloated salaries and pensions that are bankrupting America .
The country goes broke, future generations face a bleak future, but Obama, the Democrat Party, government, and the unions grow more powerful.
The ends justify the means.
Raise taxes on small business owners, high-income earners, and job creators. Put the entire burden on only the top 20 percent of taxpayers, redistribute the income, punish success, and reward those who did nothing to deserve it (except vote for Obama).
Reagan wanted to dramatically cut taxes in order to starve the government. Barack Obama wants to dramatically raise taxes to starve his political opposition. With the acts outlined above, Barack Hussien Obama and his regime have created a vast and rapidly expanding constituency of voters dependent on big government; a vast privileged class of public employees who work for big government; and a government dedicated to destroying capitalism and installing themselves as socialist rulers by overwhelming the system.
Add it up and you've got the perfect Marxist scheme -- all devised by my Columbia University college classmate Barack Hussien Obama using the Cloward and Piven Plan ..
"Correctly attributed" says snopes!

Villagegolfer. Thank you for the excellent post. Right on. Thanks

As to a previous post on this thread of yours.. Yes you again are correct. When I was young and was left by my husband pregnant with twins.... I needed those "free hand outs" and yes I see a need for them. My ex had money and the ability to hire an attorney so that he never had to pay child care. So... I am for those programs. Because of them, I was able to get a good job with a major corporation and in fact pay back more then I EVER received.

That being said... I would vote for them.

Are they being taken advantage of... You bet!!! I would think we would find a way to stop the scammers and promote getting off the programs instead of doing away with them. And BTW...It is VERY hard to get off of them, even when you want to. They don't make it easy!

As to the attacks... Maybe you are just used to being attacked and felt that's what I was doing? As to political forums... this isn't my first rodeo....

Well, maybe I was wrong, but you gave me the impression of one who can dish it out but gets defensive when it is thrown back at you.

How about if we just agree to not agree? PEACE at you.

Naw... I can dish it out... I can take it too.... But try to do it in humor and it's a much easier pill to swallow.

I have concerns with ALL of our politicians right now... While I am liberal I'm not a party person. For me..if it's the truth... it's the truth no matter what side it's on and the same with the lies.

I haven't been posting in this forum before, so you don't know if I am going to take a hard stance on a side. I get that!

Why don't we disagree.... with respect.... and applaud the times we do agree....

It sounds as though people are beginning to see what Obama really is I hope it is not to late. By the way Obama's name in college was Barry Soetoro who would remember the guy. When you change your name other than marrige it tells me you are trying to hide or hide something and that is what he is doing. Hope I didnt get off the subject. Thank you

An opinion piece written by a conservative know-nothing is not worth any electrons on the system.

He did not know President Obama at college. 20.000 other students were there at the same time.

Get real folks. Look at the miserable record of George Walker Bush. He had a surplus when he took office. That quickly changed into a major deficit. George Walker Bush began the TARP plan to give money to the banks and car companies. If you want to blame anyone besides the current Republicans in Congress, you can blame George Walker Bush.

I would like to add the person who wrote this.... Is running for office.

I am running for office, Angie? Not any more, I'm not. Been there, done that, retired now.

Maybe because he used an alias Barry Seoreto. How come his records are sealed? Nobody knows his grades. Did he really go to Harvard? (goading you here)

George Bush had his country attacked just a few months after taking the oath. He led us through terrible times and still the economy grew and unemployment stayed at controllable rates. President Bush did a great job of leading this country.
