Where did Barack & Michelle Meet Again?

While speaking at a University in Moscow, Barack Obama referred to meeting Michelle "in class". The problem with that according to Mark Hemingway at NRO is that is "demonstrably untrue". For more, have a look at Mark Hemmingway's comments.

First, the video of Obama in Moscow....



So what's wrong with that? Aside from the fact that the two DIDN'T meet in "class" and Michelle should be throwing plates and vases at her husband for not remembering where the first couple met, all's peachy.

Where did they meet? Actually, at Chicago Law Firm Sidley Austin according to Hemingway (and the arguably liberal Newsweek factcheck).

So what's the big deal, Barack? Why not escape your wife's sardonic wrath by leveling with your audience? Could it be that the law firm where you two met was the same law firm that employed Bernadine Dohrn? A firm where, according to Andy McCarthy back on October 7th, 2008, Bill Ayers' dad had significant sway.

I wonder if Michelle said, "I'm not mad, Barack. We both know the truth (wink, wink)."

Is Obama Intentionally Destroying Economy?

Frank Fleming over at Pajamas Media has an interesting column about Obama and the American economy. Here is perhaps the most accurate statement from the piece:

At this point, even the most ardent Obama supporter has to admit he’s actively trying to destroy the American economy.

Fleming derides anyone who thinks Obama has nefarious intentions by saying such accusations simply result in him being painted as some kind of cartoonish villain without enumerating reasons for his wanting to be destructive. The conclusion Fleming draws is that Obama has misplaced hatred because capitalism is based on merit for work performed and Obama doesn't have all that many accomplishments so he resents capitalism.

There is probably some truth to that but there are still more layers to the onion.

Think Frank Marshall Davis, William Ayers, Jeremiah Wright, Tony Rezko, et. al. These are the people who influenced Obama and they resent America not out of any misplaced hatred but because they hate. Period. And they resent capitalism because they were / are marxists, socialists, anarchists, and racists.

Frank Marshall Davis entered Obama's life when Obama was nine years old and was a significant influence until the latter went to college. Davis was a member of the Communist Party USA (CPUSA) and hated capitalism. He loved Soviet Russia and no doubt pumped the young future president with messages of hate for capitalism. See for yourself.

Then there's Bill Ayers. Contrary to what the Obamautomatons want you to believe, Ayers and Obama were closer than anyone wants to admit. Strong evidence exists that they shared a business address for three years in the 90's with a Chinese Maoist named Mike Klonsky. Ayers is an avowed marxist and anarchist.

Fleming hits some key points but falls short when he says people aren't digging deep enough for answers as to why Obama appears to be destroying the economy. It's not about misplaced hatred. It's about associating with people who have PURE hatred for everything American.

Relationships DO indeed matter.
