What Obama Is Really Saying

Buried in my Google alerts, the following, entitled "There should be no doubt now that Obama is Socialist, Marxist, and Communist," appeared over the weekend in my inbox. In my view, the essay is an excellent analysis. Excerpt:

...The first thing to note is that he opened up his speech with a lie -

Tonight, I speak to you not as a candidate for President, but as a citizen - a proud citizen of the United States, and a fellow citizen of the world.

Do any of you out there truly believe that as a regular Joe American that you could go to Berlin in front of the Brandenburg Gate or the Victory Column and give a speech to 200,000 Germans?

And as president, "we'll ensure that economic justice is served," he asserted. "That's what this election is about."...

[...].

"Economic justice" simply means punishing the successful and redistributing their wealth by government fiat. It's a euphemism for socialism.

In the past, such rhetoric was just that — rhetoric. But Obama's positioning himself with alarming stealth to put that rhetoric into action on a scale not seen since the birth of the welfare state....
