Obama is a Marxist

Great post-Obama race speech article:

http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2008/03/the_meaning_of_obamas_speech_o.html

I was personally offended by the speech yesterday as I come from an immigrant family in Europe that had relatives as recent as the early 20th century in enslavement by a government entity. I am not black and don't need the lecture on slavery since my family taught me the value of freedom and treating others equally.

This country offers freedom to all now and I don't appreciate those who associate with the old "angry" thought stemming from the justifiable painful civil rights days. If I was to vote for Obama, it would be for him the man, the experience and what he has to offer our country--not his gender, race or speech-giving abilities.

Unfortunately, his speech yesterday only affirmed to me that he excuses being in an environment that his 'former' pastor breeded through his oratory. Personally, I have walked out of churches when a priest or pastor has crossed the divide from theology to hateful politics. Obama's judgement to submit himself, his wife and children to that barrage is unfortunate and drives me to think of him as a great orator and motivational speaker but in no way ready to be a servant to United States of America as President.

Marxism is not the brand of politics we need in our country today, Obama's mentor oozed of it and therefore is part of that which Obama "cannot disown".
