Dark Ambition
So what is Mr. Obama's dark ambition? I'll give it to you in his own words from his book Dreams From My Father. To avoid being mistaken for a sellout,I chose my friends carefully.The more politically active black students.The foreign students.The Chicanos.The Marxist Professors and the structural feminists and punk-rock performance poets.We smoked cigarettes and wore leather jackets.At night,in the dorms,we discussed neocolonialism,Franz Fanon,Eurocentrism,and patriarchy.Sounds like he was a Marxist at heart. And not very friendly to Western Culture. Not ready to lead - sure. My question is this: is he even ready to be an American with those kinds of attitudes? H/T Gateway Pundit which has some nice links that are worth a look. Gateway also traces his ties to ACORN at least back to '92. Cross Posted at Power and Control Update: 11 Oct 008 0453z Evidently some one thinks there are copyright issues with the ad so it is no longer available on YouTube. You can still watch it here. posted by Simon on 10.10.08 at 04:03 PM

Obama was describing who he was, not who he is. I could do the same thing: mid-60's college kid sitting in a room with David Harris fantasizing about draft dodging in Canada or making a statement at Leavenworth, reading those trashy tracts at the Trotsky bookstore on Telegraph in Berkeley, and much later watching with satisfaction as Wheeler Hall was torched; sitting around drinking wine & grooving on Baez with the young radical assistant profs. And didn't you? Frank · October 11, 2008 02:12 AM I think he has been a phony most of this campaign and through his adult life. He has chosen to portray himself however a crowd would want him to be. Think about his book's statement. He did not want to be seen asa sellout. What would he be selling out? He was raised by a white mom and Indonesian step dad, and then two white grandparents. What about being black was he ever going to sell out? MM · October 11, 2008 02:50 PM Frank, A Burroughs fan? And yes I did (Bezerkely Too - I saw Eldridge Cleaver's Speech before he left the country). And I don't hide it because I'm a different person now. Evidently Eldridge had a change of heart as well. Obama not so much. His old comrades haven't denounced him - a sure sign of a change of heart. M. Simon · October 12, 2008 03:39 PM Post a comment

That McCain ad is painfully flashy. Ouch.
