Don’t Take My Word for Barack Obama’s Socialism. Take His.
Is Barack Obama a socialist? Well, let’s read what he had to say about it. “To avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully,” the Democratic presidential candidate wrote in his memoir, “Dreams From My Father.” “The more politically active black students.
