Are you kidding me? Obama wrote a book on his beliefs. I read it, and it's a damn sight better and more complete than anything Rand Paul ever dropped on his sleeve.
Yes, I do: "Trotsky considered himself a "Bolshevik-Leninist", arguing for the establishment of a vanguard party. He considered himself an advocate of orthodox Marxism."
Clearly, you have not read the book. However, true to form, you have a firm opinion on matters you know nothing about. There is something to be said for your consistency.
I read The Audacity of Hope. It was a very well written book that genuinely resonated. Did you read it? Yes or no.
All this talk about hearkening back to the bad old days when people discriminated. You mean back when <b>democrats forced people to segregate through Jim Crow laws</b>? Hey people, freedom hasn't been tried. Don't knock it until it turns out to be a disaster, just like the laws mandating who we must or must not associate with. Hey gablfly. What i'd like to know is who wrote audacity of hope. Did Bill Ayers write that one too?
Please try not to comment on what you have not read. Unlike certain other political luminaries, Obama doesn't need a ghost writer.
