Barack Hussein Obama was born in 1961,
to a Communist mother. Ann Dunham was known as a radical leftist from childhood who hated Christianity, questioned the merits of capitalism, and asked,
"What's so bad about Communism?"
Obama worked with and became close friends
with self admitted Marxist revolutionary and terrorist Bill Ayers and his wife Bernardine Dohrn while in Chicago. The political career of Barack Obama was started with a kick off party in Ayers's Chicago home.
At the Ayers home party, Obama was praised by predecessor Alice Palmer. Years before,
Palmer had chosen young Obama to be her successor. Alice Palmer was an avid Communist who
had previously attended Communist events in the Soviet Union, as well as writing for the CPUSA publication 'People's Weekly World.' She was also a member of a Communist front group called "US Peace Council".
Also attending at the Ayers home was
Dr. Quentin Young, a long time friend of Obama. Young was a member of the
Young Communist League in Chicago in the 1930s, and involved in various Communist groups up until the 1980s.
In 2004,
Barack Obama campaigned for and endorsed Congressman Danny Davis, once saying "he shares our values." Coincidentally, Davis was also a member of the Communist 'New Party' and was filmed as recently as 2012
receiving awards from the Communist Party of the USA.
In 2008,
The Communist Party of the United States actively campaigned for Barack Obama in the presidential race.
In 2008, following Obama's victory in the Democratic caucus in Iowa, Frank Chapman, also a member of CPUSA's front group "US Peace Council" wrote a glowing praise for Obama in People's Weekly World. In it
he described how Obama's victory would "usher in a new era of struggle", much in the way Marx intended.
During the campaign in 2008,
self proclaimed Communist Mike Klonsky was given a "social justice" blog on the official Obama campaign website. Klonsky was and is an avid Communist who previously visited Communist China in 1971 and was involved in multiple Communist-Leninist organizations throughout the 1960s and 1970s. Also a close friend of Bill Ayers, Klonsky's groups were funded to a sum of nearly 2 million dollars by Obama and Ayers through the Chicago Annenberg Challenge.
In 2009, it was also reported that a seemingly harmless
Christmas ornament on the Obama White House Christmas tree featured, of all people, Mao.
In 2009, Obama appointed Carol Browner as his energy czar. Browner was previously
a commissioner for the international Communist-lite group Socialist International.
Obama's science czar, John Holdren,
worked for The Bulletin of Nuclear Sciences, which also employed several communists. Holdren, among other things, supports the idea of forced abortions and mass sterilization to quell rising populations.
In 2010, Obama appointed
Communist Donald Berwick as the head of Medicare and Medicaid.
The 2012 Obama reelection campaign decided to use the traditional Communist term "Forward" as their official slogan. The term
"forward" is rooted in Communist propaganda lore in European Communist organizations including Karl Marx's newspaper, as well as Soviet Russia and Communist China throughout the 1900s.
