Articles: In Their Own Words: Lenin, Stalin, Obama, and Hillary.
It is well-recognized that President Obama's political
philosophy is heavily influenced by Marxism-Leninism, originating primarily
through his childhood mentor, Frank Marshall Davis. He has demonstrated through his policy
implementation that he believes in a strong centralized government and
increasing governmental control over the financial system, media, education,
energy, healthcare, private property, where people live, their means of
transportation, and how they behave.
His beliefs are reflected in his words:
"We can't drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and
keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times."2
"Generally, the Constitution is a charter of negative
liberties."3
"If you've got a business - you didn't build that. Somebody else made that happen."2
"I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good
for everybody."4
"Under my plan of a cap and trade system, electricity
rates would necessarily skyrocket."5
"I happen to be a proponent of a single payer universal
health care program."6
"I think the trick is figuring out how do we structure
government systems that pool resources and hence facilitate some redistribution
because I actually believe in redistribution..."7
"If they bring a knife to the fight, we bring a
gun."8
"...We're gonna punish our enemies and we're gonna
reward our friends who stand with us on issues that are important to us."9
