Barack Obama has actually sought out socialists and marxists versus all these radicals looking him up.  In 1996 he won the Illinois State Senate seat running on a Fusion Ticket.  Yes, it's true.  Obama ran as the Democrat Party nominee and the New Party nominee.  The New Party is a party of socialists, anti-communists and ACORN people who are affiliated with the Democratic Socialists of America.  He went to them and asked for their support.  He had to audition and once approved as their candidate, he had to sign a contract that he would visibly further their platform.  They helped him get elected.  Just exactly what does he owe to them?  Well, he is still echoing their platform of anti-capitalism, anti-Defense, taking away from those who have for the greater good of those have nots, etc.  Please read this article from Investor's Business Daily to get more details.  Hopefully Rush will bring this up during one of his shows.
