Obama’s Associates

To the Editor:

There is an old saying — You can tell a man by the company he keeps. If that statement is valid, then who has President Obama surrounded himself with past and present?

Barack Obama had an early exposure to socialism and communism via his parents. He could have cast such ideology aside during his teen years in Hawaii, however, he chose to associate with Frank Marshall Davis, a member of the Communist Party USA. Obama fraternized with Davis and listened to his advice. Davis was rabidly anticapitalist and attacked traditional Christian values. Later on, after Davis died, Obama came under the spell of Jeremiah Wright, a revisionist preacher who was also anti-American.

Obama attended three colleges and made the statement that during those years “I chose my friends carefully. Marxist professors, politically active blacks, foreign students, Chicanos, structural feminists and punk rockers.” He also surrounded himself with Leninists and Maoists. Few classmates remembered him and no official records, grades or transcripts have ever been released or uncovered.

After college, Obama followed Davis’s advice and worked as a “community organizer” for a socialist network in Chicago. In that capacity, Obama came under the tutelage of Gregory Galuzzo who taught Obama to embrace the tactics of Chicago radical, Saul Alinsky. Alinsky wrote Rules for Radicals the bible for those who wanted to infiltrate all American institutions by stealth and form a coalition of communists, anarchists, Democrats, black racialists and activists to advance power and create a revolution. Alinsky’s hero was Lucifer.

Another close associate of Obama’s was unrepentant former terrorist, William Ayers. They worked closely as community organizers in the Chicago school system, and Ayers claimed he wrote Obama’s first book.

This is from Obama’s past. His present associations are more dangerous.
