"Will Obama govern from the left? He doesn't have to. George W. Bush has done all the heavy lifting for him. It was under Bush that the government basically took over as the chief stockholder of our financial institutions and under Bush that we ceded our financial controls to the European Union." - Dick Morris
On this point I will concede, but only to a degree. However, what Obama has done in one short month and a half trumps every socialist move that Bush ever imposed on industry or dreamt of imposing. Just take a look at Citi Bank. And again, I stress, wait until national health care gets rolling.
Here's an example of what Saul Alinsky thought about capitalism and how to affect the desired change towards a complete socialist agenda. Bear in mind that Obama carried this book (Rules For Radicals) around like Mao carried his little red book!
These little tidbits of Socialist/Marxist horseshit are straight from Barry's favorite book that the media conveniently never told you about! Do yourselves a favor and read the damned book!

Revolutionary force today has two targets, moral as well as material. We are concerned with how to create mass organizations to seize power and give it to the people;
A Marxist begins with his prime truth that all evils are caused by the exploitation of the proletariat by the capitalists. It's time to start the revolution to end capitalism, then into the third stage a new social order of the dictatorship of the proletariat, and finally
the political paradise of communism.
An organizer working in and for an open society
does not have a fixed truth -- truth to him is relative
he is free from the shackles of dogma-(hello lying about anything needed to acheive the desired outcome. The ends always justifies the means!)
The most unethical of all means is the non-use of any means.
The first step in community organization is community disorganization
An organizer must stir up dissatisfaction and discontent.
your function—to agitate to the point of conflict.
Ridicule is man's most potent weapon.-(hello any critics of The One!)
The threat is usually more terrifying than the thing itself.-(Hello scaring the living hell out of anyone that dares question all these made up crisis that Barry keeps putting forth!)
Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.- (hello Rush Limbaugh and Obama's enemies list!)

Hello drones! Are starting to see things the way they

What Cabinet position does Saul Alinsky currently hold?
For all intents and purposes he holds the office of President of the United States. Obama was, and is, a huge Alinsky acolyte and constantly used the book Rules For Radicals (from which the above quotes were lifted) to help pepper his speeches to fellow community organizers. He read it, soaked it up and carried it with him everywhere he went according to numerous sources.
Then there's his wife Michelle, also a huge fan of Alinsky's via her relationship with Barack. Consider the following taken from Gateway Pundit back in August of last year...
_______________________________________________
Last night Michelle Obama used lines from Rules for Radicals, a radical Far Left book by Saul Alinsky ("father of community organizing" and a notorious far-left radical) in her DNC Convention speech.
Gateway Pundit nailed her:
What to make of Michelle Obama's use the terms, "The world as it is" and "The world as it should be?" From whence do they originate? Try Chapter 2 of Saul Alinsky's book, Rules for Radicals.
"Barack stood up that day," talking about a visit to Chicago neighborhoods, "and spoke words that have stayed with me ever since. He talked about "The world as it is" and "The world as it should be..."
And, "All of us driven by a simple belief that the world as it is just won't do - that we have an obligation to fight for the world as it should be."
Here's an excerpt from Chapter 2 of Saul Alinsky's book, Rules for Radicals:
"The means-and-ends moralists, constantly obsessed with the ethics of the means used by the Have-Nots against the Haves, should search themselves as to their real political position. In fact, they are passive -- but real -- allies of the Haves...The most unethical of all means is the non-use of any means... The standards of judgment must be rooted in the whys and wherefores of life as it is lived, the world as it is, not our wished-for fantasy of the world as it should be."
Dan Reihl writes that although Gateway Pundit points out that Michelle Obama quoted concepts from Rules for Radicals in her speech last night and suggests she heard it in church, more likely, it was Barack Obama that came up with it due to the individual who started him off in his activist pursuits - Jerry Kellman, an organizer working on Chicago's far South Side.
Kellman was an Alinsky protege.
After college Obama moved to Chicago to be part of the Jerry Kellman organization as a community organizer. [Kellman was a Saul Alinsky protege.] Among the primary goals of Alinsky was radical socialism and redistribution of wealth. Alinsky taught his proteges to "HIDE" their true goals by any means necessary. Lying was fine. The objective of Alinsky and Kellman was to turn people against the white establishment.

So there you go. Now don't go accusing me of over reaching here. The fact is that the media hid any, and all, of Obama's radical associations or played them all off with the standard canard, "it's nothing more than guilt by association". The
fact is that Barack Obama was steeped in the socialist/Marxist dogma and claptrap of Saul Alinsky from a young age, and his interest in all things socialist only increased when he went to Harvard. Those are the verifiable facts that the "in the tank" media decided weren't important enough to share with the average voter!
