"Rooting" Out Obama's Past

Why, oh why, does Harry Reid lie, accusing GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney of ten years of tax evasion?  The IRS, now Obama’s own collection agency, surely would have caught up with Romney by now.  Ten years’ worth of a millionaire’s taxes is a lot of moo-lah.  If he has tax returns that Reid wants exposed, then the IRS already knows all about Romney.  They have investigators who live for the sport of hunting down tax evaders.  They can also add.

For one thing, the Obama camp wants to use Romney as a One-Percent whipping boy.  If you read any of the books about Obama such as Radical-in-Chief (Kurtz) or Culture of Corruption (Malkin), the notion of Obama taking on millionaires is absolutely risible.  He’s wined and dined millionaires far wealthier – and more useful – than Romney.  His vice president is a corrupt millionaire with a long list of quid pro quos (this for that).

Secondly, Obama knows a lot more books are out about him, exposing his radical upbringing through Frank Marshall Davis, his early decision to choose “community” (remember, the Greek word for “community” is polis – that is, political) organizing, his dirty dealings in Chicago, and his choice of not just socialist but outright communist assistants (particularly David Axelrod and Valerie Jarrett, who inherited their communist ideals from close family relations).  There are a lot more books out and a lot more people reading them.  If we can’t get our news from The Media, we’ll get it at Amazon.com.  Real book lovers will be glad to know that the Books-A-Million store franchise is expanding – there’s one in Paramus Park Mall, on the second level, directly across from Chick-Fil-A.

Thirdly, there’s an independent researcher named Wayne Allyn Root, a former Libertarian vice presidential nominee and author of “The Conscience of a Libertarian” on the Obama trail.  Glenn Beck’s the Blaze features his column today.  Root says there’s a reporter in Indonesia right now who has absolute proof that Obama was an Indonesian citizen.  Root claims that Obama used his status as a foreign exchange student to obtain scholarships and favored admission to exclusive – and expensive – American colleges:  Occidental, Columbia University, and Harvard Law School.  Obama may be trying to distact Conservatie newshounds from exposing his past, using his own Harry "Red-Herring" Reid.

Root says he was a classmate of Obama’s and graduated the same year, 1983.

“We were both (according to Obama) Pre-Law and Political Science majors. And I thought I knew most everyone at Columbia. I certainly thought I’d heard of all of my fellow Political Science majors. But not Obama (or as he was known then- Barry Soetoro). I never met him. Never saw him. Never even heard of him. And none of the classmates that I knew at Columbia have ever met him, saw him, or heard of him.”

Root went on to become a Las Vegas oddsmaker.  He admits he only has his own testimony and that of his former classmates.  But he’s willing to “bet” that Obama isn’t hiding his school records because he was such a great student.  Root is urging Romney to call Reid’s bluff and offer to make his tax records public, but only if Obama makes all his college records public.

Root is willing to bet Obama will lose.  He cites a 2008 Wall Street Journal article, which noted Obama’s lack of transparency about his college records.  The WSJ noted that many contemporary presidential candidates – Bush, McCain, Gore, Kerry – were poor, “C” students, so there would be no academic reason for him to hide his records.  The WSJ suspected some sort of racial prejudice.  The paper also noted he graduated from Harvard Law magna cum laude, and was the president of the Harvard Law Review (allegedly without ever having written a single article).

 Root notes that at Columbia, Obama went by the name of Barry Soetero (his step-father’s name).  According to the WSJ, “Others speculate about ties to the Black Students Organization, though students active then don't seem to remember him. And on the far reaches of the Web can be found conspiracies about former Carter national security adviser Zbigniew Brzezinski, who became the candidate's ‘guru and controller’ while at Columbia in the early 1980s. Mr. Brzezinski laughs, and tells us he doesn’t ‘remember meeting him.’”

Stanley Kurtz’ research proves that Obama didn’t become involve in Black student organizations (although he hung out with them) – he hung out with Socialists and Communists.  He attended the 1983 Socialist Scholars Conference, normally held at New York University, but held that year at Cooper Union to commemorate the 100^th anniversary of the birth of Karl Marx.  Marx visited the Cooper Union and the ecstatic college returned the favor by throwing a birthday party for him.

Kurtz says that Obama had the opportunity to make many connections at that, and subsequent conferences.  The author believes that the future made his career decision at that point, influenced by his mentor Frank Marshall Davis (wait until you read The Communist:  The Untold Story of Barack Obama’s Mentor by Paul Kengor, Ph.D – hey, Simon & Schuster/Mercury Ink:  there’s no period after the D in Ph.D.  Except at the end of a sentence.  If you need an experienced proofreader, I’m available.  Anyway, FMD had a real gripe against General Motors.) and the Socialists with whom he networked.

Everyone needs to read these books and columns about Obama by Conservative authors and pass the word on.  You know we’re never going to hear about any of this from the Mainstream Media.  Never mind The Hunger Games.  Put aside your supermarket paperbacks.  Throw them to the seagulls and start doing some real reading.  We have less than 90 days.  Start a Conservative book club.  Every member, take a book, like The Communist or The Amateur, start reading it – quickly – make notes and report back to your club.

Do your Obamawork!
