Remember when
Geraldo opened Al Capone’s vault live on national TV? Well I’m about to solve
the mystery of Obama. I’m about to break “the Obama code.” I’m about to tell you
everything about the way Obama, and the people around him, really think. I’m
about to rip open the true Obama plan to destroy our country. Because I was
there when the plan was hatched.
How do I know
all this? Because I was Barack Obama’s college classmate at Columbia University,
Class of 1983. I was easy to recognize – the lone outspoken conservative in a
class of 700 students. I knew I was in trouble when my first political science
class at Columbia was “Communism 101″ taught by Professor Trotsky in the Fidel
Castro Building, at the corner of Marx Blvd. and Lenin Drive.
I’m only
half-kidding. My experiences at Columbia were not far off.
Everyone needs
to hear my story because what Obama and I learned at Columbia explains EXACTLY
what Obama is doing to America today.
The economy in
deep decline; the disappearance of jobs; the annihilation of the middle class;
the demonization of business owners; the destruction of small business with
onerous regulations and taxes; the overwhelming debt and spending of
out-of-control government; the millions of Americans losing their health
insurance; and the unimaginable increase in dependency through welfare, food
stamps, unemployment, disability, and now free health care.
It’s all easily
explained when you hear what Obama and I learned at Columbia.
America’s
decline under Obama isn’t due to mistake, ignorance, or incompetence at the
hands of a community organizer. It’s a purposeful, brilliant plan hatched at
Columbia University to destroy capitalism, American exceptionalism,
Judeo-Christian values, and the American Dream.
I never met
Obama at Columbia. We were both Political Science majors, both Pre Law. We
graduated on the same day. There were perhaps 100 to 150 of us in the Political
Science department. And I thought I knew all of them.
As the token
big-mouthed conservative patriot, I know they all knew me. But not Obama. I
never met him, saw him, or even heard of him. Not one of my friends at Columbia
ever met him either. At our 30th class reunion last May, I could not find a
single classmate who had ever met him. Strange story, but I digress.
What matters
is what Obama learned and experienced at Columbia. My classmates hated America.
They spoke with glee about one day ”taking the system down.” They blamed
America for “unfairness, racism, inequality, and lack of social justice.”
Recognize
those words?
My classmates
proudly called themselves socialists, communists, and Marxists. Even though
almost all of them came from wealthy families (or perhaps because of it), they
hated the rich and despised business owners. They talked about how the “white
power structure” had to be dismantled, business owners bankrupted, and
capitalism destroyed. Everything in their minds was based on “social
justice.”
Sound like the
policies of anyone you recognize in the White House? Does “We have to spread the
wealth around” ring a bell? How about “If you own a business, you didn’t build
that.”
How about
Obama’s hatred of Republicans and refusal to negotiate with Congress? It’s clear
he thinks he’s “morally superior” to conservatives. That attitude was born at
Columbia too.
In 1981 when a
student burst through the doors to our political science class and
screamed “The President has been shot. They’ve assassinated Reagan”… my
classmates yelled, hugged, high-fived, and jumped up and down cheering the death
of a Republican. Today most of my classmates are either in government with
Obama, or controlling the mainstream media. They talk about “moderation and
compromise,” but always remember 30 years ago they cheered for the death of a
Republican.
But, there’s
more. We were all taught a simple, but brilliant plan. My classmates discussed
it 24/7. It was their “American Dream.”
By the time the middle class realizes he’s the killer and they’re the prey, they’ll already be dead.
It was called
“Cloward-Piven,” after former Columbia professors Richard
Cloward and Frances
Piven. To bring down America and our capitalist system, they were taught to
overwhelm the system with massive spending, entitlements and debt. That would
cause the economy to collapse, wipe out the middle class, and bring Americans to
their knees, begging government to save them.
It’s the exact
plan Obama has been implementing. The centerpiece is Obamacare.
Obamacare
isn’t about health care. It’s about bankrupting the middle class and addicting
it to government dependency. It’s about redistributing wealth from the middle
class and small business to Obama’s voters (the poor and unions). Its goal is to
wipe out the last vestiges of middle class America, creating a two-class
society: the super rich and the poor (both beholden to Obama).
Obama learned
well, it’s working to perfection.
So that
explains the plan. But how do you implement it? We were taught that at Columbia
too.
A key
component of the plan involved fooling the voters by calling yourself “moderate”
and a “uniter,” even though you are a radical Marxist. We were taught to never
admit what you really believe in. It involved demonizing your opponents, calling
them “evil, greedy, extreme, radical, and terrorist.” Look in the mirror and
call your opponents the very things you are.
Obama learned
well.
The plan
taught us to hide your true intensions (in other words- lie, misrepresent,
commit fraud). So Obamacare is about “saving the uninsured,” as opposed to
income redistribution.
Government
regulations are to “protect us from global warming,” as opposed to wiping out
small business.
Amnesty for
illegal immigrants is about “fairness,” as opposed to creating 12 million new
Democratic voters.
Obscene
spending is always about “helping widows and orphans,” as opposed to bribing
Obama’s voters.
Higher teacher
salaries to reward terrible performance are “for the kids,” as opposed to
enriching teachers unions so they can funnel hundreds of millions to Democrat
politicians.
Bailing out GM
was to “save jobs,” as opposed to saving bloated auto union pensions.
It’s always
about lying to coverup the Marxist agenda of destroying the middle class,
redistributing wealth, and putting big government in control of our every move.
Why the lies? We were taught at Columbia that “It’s for the greater good” and
“We know what’s best for those people” and ”The ends justify the means.”
Obama learned
well.
But the key to
it all is to “boil the frog slowly.” We learned at Columbia to set the fire low,
so the frog wouldn’t complain. By the time he realized what was happening, he’d
be cooked.
That’s why
every Obama speech starts and ends with “I’m here to save the middle class,”
while his actions are annihilating them. He’s boiling the frog slowly. By the
time the middle class realizes he’s the killer, and they’re the prey, they’ll
already be dead.
The root
(excuse the pun) of every Obama policy, everything Obama does, and everything
happening to the U.S. economy, all started at Columbia. The entire Obama agenda
to overwhelm the system, wipe out the middle class, bankrupt small business, and
destroy capitalism, was hatched at Columbia. Obama may not have attended class,
but he learned well.
He should have
received the Karl Marx Award for “Student Most Likely to Destroy America.”
