‘Change doesn’t come from Washington. Change comes to Washington.”
-BARACK OBAMA, DNC speech, Aug. 28, 2008

UPDATES to follow after 1330 EDT at end of story.

In light of the recent revelations that Barack Obama was a member of the Democratic Socialist Party of America and that his relationship with former Weather Underground and unrepentant terrorist bomber Bill Ayers was much more than “tangential”, DBKP discovered this video posted on Youtube back in June.

Change will not come if we wait for some other person or some other time. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. We are the change that we seek.
-BARACK OBAMA, speech, Feb. 5, 2008

This notion that’s peddled by the religious right – that they are oppressed is not true. Sometimes it’s a cynical ploy to move their agenda ahead. The classic example being that somehow secularists are trying to eliminate Christmas, which strikes me as some kind of manufactured controversy.
-BARACK OBAMA, Street Prophets interview, Jul. 11, 2006

The video takes a look at the use of socialist “code” words used by Michelle and Barack Obama as well as their “relationship” with Obama’s former minister, Reverend Jeremiah Wright, and Bill Ayers, former member of the violent Vietnam era terrorist group, the Weather Underground.

From Youtube:

Listen closely to Obama’s words and you will hear the Socialist agenda of his friends. His words of CHANGE are taken straight from the manifesto of the Weather Underground. His speeches and the speeches of Michelle Obama are identical to the ranting of William Ayers and Rev. Wright – and George Soros.

Obama selects specific keywords and seeds them into every speech. (Words such as: “Change” – “Business as Usual” – “Cynical” – “Spirit” – and “Isolation”. These words are not just careless repetition, within his speeches, they are calculated messages of anarchy.

Obama was anointed and mentored by William Ayers (20 years ago) for a revolutionary purpose. And yes, there is significance to the time period when he first met and became Michelle Robinson’s young intern at a major law firm with ownership ties to the William Ayers’ family. Bernardine Dohrn also worked at this firm. This friendship was not an accidental event.

A class REVOLUTON is near. Barack Obama is merely a puppet dangling on the strings of a Socialist agenda, manufactured by Ayers and Soros.

Barack Obama has since “distanced” himself from his church and the teachings of Reverend Jeremiah Wright. Obama claimed he had “no idea” what his preacher was preaching from the pulpit even though Barack and his family attended services for a period of 20+ years. When Obama addressed the controversy surrounding Wright he also mentioned another controversial figure, Louis Farrakhan:

“I have already denounced those comments that have come out of these previous sermons. I gave him the benefit of the doubt in my speech in Philadelphia, explaining that he has done enormous good in the church, has built a wonderful conversation. They are a wonderful people and what attracted me has always been the ministries reach beyond church walls. But when he states and then amplifies such ridiculous propositions, that the U.S. government is involved in AIDS, when he suggests that Louis Farrakhan represents one of the greatest voices of the 21st century, when he equates the United States’ wartime effort with terrorism, then there are no excuses.”

Obama stated that he “disagreed” with Wright’s “assessment” of Louis Farrakhan. We also found where Obama “denounced” Farrakhan during a Primary debate with Hillary Clinton:

In a series of followup questions, Russert noted that Farrakhan had once called Judaism a “gutter religion” and asked Obama if he rejected Farrakhan’s support, to which Obama replied: “I can’t say to somebody that he can’t say that he thinks I’m a good guy.” The audience laughed.

Senator Obama said he was “very familiar” with Farrakhan’s record, which is why he had consistently denounced it.

And yet DBKP found this group photo of Michelle Obama and the wife of Farrakhan, Mother Kadijah Farrakah.

Ben Smith of Politico noted these two “cynicism” quotes from Obama:

“And in this mission, our rivals won’t be one another, and I would assert it won’t even be the other party. It’s going to be cynicism that we’re fighting against.”
–DNC Winter Meeting, Feb. 2, 2007

“The biggest enemy I think we have in this whole process … it’s not just terrorists, it’s not just Hezbollah, it’s not just Hamas — it’s also cynicism”.
-AIPAC Conference, March 12, 2007

Jeff Dobbs at American Thinker discussed Obama’s use of “cynicism” as well as this quote from Michelle Obama:

“Barack Obama] is going to demand that you shed your cynicism. That you put down your divisions. That you come out of your isolation, that you move out of your comfort zones. That you push yourselves to be better. And that you engage. Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual, uninvolved, uninformed.”
–Michelle Obama, UCLA Speech, Feb. 3, 2008

Investor’s Business Daily picked up on yet another socialist code phrase used by Obama:

“Election ‘08: Before friendly audiences, Barack Obama speaks passionately about something called “economic justice.” He uses the term obliquely, though, speaking in code — socialist code.”

IBD found where Obama used the term, “economic justice” four times during an NAACP speech in July:

“During his NAACP speech earlier this month, Sen. Obama repeated the term at least four times. “I’ve been working my entire adult life to help build an America where economic justice is being served,” he said at the group’s 99th annual convention in Cincinnati.”

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

IBD pointed out that “Economic justice” is an “euphemism for socialism” and that it “simply means punishing the successful and redistributing their wealth by government fiat”.

IBD also pointed out that “in the past” it was merely rhetoric. Obama is “positioning” himself in order to put the “rhetoric” into action not seen since the inception of the welfare state.

IBD also pointed out that Obama is a firm believer in “class envy” where the rich get wealthy at the “expense of the poor” and that it’s up to the government to ensure a “redistribution” of wealth through higher taxes and entitlements.

A closer look at Obama’s background shows a young man who spent his formative years soaking up Marxist-Communist teachings from a man named “Frank” that Obama wrote about in his book, “Dreams From My Father”. It turns out that “Frank” was none other than Frank Marshall Davis who was investigated by the FBI and Congress as “subversive”.

Obama also wrote about Reverend Jeremiah Wright in his memoir, “Dreams of My Father”. Rich Lowry of The Corner found where Obama wrote about listening to a Wright sermon about “Hiroshima” and “white person’s greed”:

““It is this world, a world where cruise ships throw away more food in a day than most residents of Port-au-Prince see in a year, where white folks’ greed runs a world in need, apartheid in one hemisphere, apathy in another hemisphere…That’s the world! On which hope sits!”

And so it went, a meditation on a fallen world. While the boys next to me doodled on their church bulletin, Reverend Wright spoke of Sharpsville and Hiroshima, the callousness of policy makers in the White House and in the State House. As the sermon unfolded, though, the stories of strife became more prosaic, the pain more immediate. The reverend spoke of the hardship that the congregation would face tomorrow, the pain of those far from the mountaintop, worrying about paying the light bill…”

Obama now claims that he never heard these “types” of sermons from Wright during the 20+ years he spent as a member of Wright’s congregation.

Obama’s only key piece of legislation, the Global Poverty Act, or S 2433, wants American taxpayers to fund the bill to “eliminate” half the world’s poverty by 2015. That’s right, Obama wants American taxpayers to foot the bill to cut world poverty in half by the end of 7 years.

During the first Presidential debate Obama was asked several times which plans he would have to sacrifice or scale back because of the current massive economic crisis where American taxpayers will now have to pony up a trillion dollars in a plan to “save” Wall Street. Obama did not mention his 800+ billion dollar Pork Barrel Global Poverty Act so it’s safe to assume his plan is still in the works. The bill is currently in the que for a Senate vote.

We wondered why the fact that Obama was a former member of a Socialist party has been hidden from the voting public. This type of information is crucial to voters in order to make an informed decision. It was Jay Brown of the blog, Politically Drunk, who recently discovered Obama’s previous ties to the Democratic Socialists of America. It was before this information came to light that others, such as the maker of the Youtube video, and journalists, such as Rich Lowry and Ben Smith, pointed out that both Michelle and Barack Obama consistently used code words which seemed to point to a socialist agenda.

Obama has now denounced Reverend Wright and also left his church but only after the public became aware of Wright’s hate filled sermons.

Obama denied that he “knew” Bill Ayers was a homegrown terrorist who openly admitted his group bombed over 30 buildings during the Vietnam war era including the Pentagon and Capital Building. This, despite that fact that the two spent several years serving on a very small and select board of the Annenberg Foundation where Obama served as President and Chairman, and Ayers was co-founder of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge. Not only did they work together but Ayers and his memoir were written about in the New York Times, coincidentally on 911.

In April, Sol Stern had this observation about Ayers:

“As I have shown elsewhere in City Journal, Ayers’s politics have hardly changed since his Weatherman days. He still boasts about working full-time to bring down American capitalism and imperialism. This time, however, he does it from his tenured perch as Distinguished Professor of Education at the University of Illinois, Chicago. Instead of planting bombs in public buildings, Ayers now works to indoctrinate America’s future teachers in the revolutionary cause, urging them to pass on the lessons to their public school students.

Indeed, the education department at the University of Illinois is a hotbed for the radical education professoriate. As Ayers puts it in one of his course descriptions, prospective K–12 teachers need to “be aware of the social and moral universe we inhabit and . . . be a teacher capable of hope and struggle, outrage and action, a teacher teaching for social justice and liberation.” Ayers’s texts on the imperative of social-justice teaching are among the most popular works in the syllabi of the nation’s ed schools and teacher-training institutes. One of Ayers’s major themes is that the American public school system is nothing but a reflection of capitalist hegemony. Thus, the mission of all progressive teachers is to take back the classrooms and turn them into laboratories of revolutionary change.”

Here are some cold hard facts that we are learning about Obama the candidate:

Obama never mentioned that he was a member of the Democratic Socialist Party when he ran for Illinois Senate.

Obama claims that in 20+ years of attending sermons at his church he never heard his preacher, Rev. Wright, preach about “hate” yet he wrote about one such sermon in his memoir, “Dreams of my Father”.

Obama claims he had “no idea” that Bill Ayers, the “co-founder” whom Obama spent several years on the Chicago Annenberg Challenge Board, was a former member of the violent anarchist group, the Weather Underground.

Both Michelle and Barack Obama have consistently used “socialist” code words when speaking to the public.

While there is nothing wrong about being a socialist or having socialist “values”, the fact that Obama hid his Socialist background should raise questions.

Why do both Obama and his wife Michelle continue to use “socialist” lingo if they are not “socialists”?

Why does Obama continue to deny the true scope of his relationship with Bill Ayers?

These are legitimate questions, not the product of some “right-wing smear machine”. Hopefully before November 4 voters will get some answers.
