It's clear that obama is every bit the radical that we said he was during the campaign, warnings which were dismissed as smears.
From a 2005 interview with East Bay Express:
ones had planned to move to Washington, DC, and had already landed a job and an
apartment there. But in jail, he said, "I met all these young radical people of
color — I mean really radical, communists and anarchists. And it was, like,
`This is what I need to be a part of.'" Although he already had a plane ticket,
he decided to stay in San Francisco. "I spent the next ten years of my life
working with a lot of those people I met in jail, trying to be a revolutionary."
In the months that followed, he let go of any lingering thoughts that he might
fit in with the status quo. "I was a rowdy nationalist on April 28th, and then
the verdicts came down on April 29th," he said. "By August, I was a communist."
It gets better, Van Jones Green Jobs Czar Communist (self-proclaimed), founded
an organization called Storm. From the same interview:
In 1994, the young activists formed a socialist collective, Standing Together to
Organize a Revolutionary Movement, or STORM, which held study groups on the
theories of Marx and Lenin and dreamed of a multiracial socialist utopia.
