Of course, if this makes the MSM at all, it will be dismissed as: “Oh, who in college doesn’t hate America?”
If this is not fake, I expect Fox to take him to the woodshed with this.
how many students at colleges in the northeast aren’t socialists?
Well, what kind of man for 18 years (or some similar duration) takes himself, his wife, and kids every Sunday to sit under a preacher who preaches “Gd* America! G**d**** America!” ?
And which bases itself on “Black Liberation Theology,” which is Marxist?
What, would that likely be someone with traditional American values and belief in the American way of life? Or is it likely someone who is entirely comfortable with things such as what Rev Jeremiah Wright had to say and in fact wants his family exposed to it?
There’s nothing new about the college friend’s disclosures here.
Obama’s first book made clear he was mentored by Marxists.
What else is new?

Occidental is in Los Angeles, California.

Me for one. Many, MANY people I know for others.

He was chosen for these very reasons. We now live in Plato’s Republic. The Guardians hold mock elections and we vote.
he didn’t graduate from Occidental.

Your point being…?
The interview is with an Occidental graduate that knew Obama while he was there and speaks about this. Show me one shred of information about his time at Columbia or Harvard and we can discuss that, too.
Oh wait, he locked everything up so we don’t know anything about the rest of his collegiate experience, do we? Hmmm…kind of fishy, don’t you think?[/quote]
I’ve never understood that. The person who can push a button and destroy the world should have NO secrets. That person should have had an electric light bulb shoved up his ass to reveal everything.
I suspect that DID happen but we weren’t privy to it. Either that, or he really has no power and is just a figurehead, put there to please the lib saps.
I pretty much stopped listening at the point the announcer said the words “birth certificate” and invoked a lot of other personal and/or confidential documents and facts we don’t have about Obama. Did Bush actually turn all that shit over to the press at some point? Or Clinton, or… well, the list goes all the way down to Washington.
Btw, what would you think of an American commenting on Finnish politicians with a similar post and acting as if his lack of knowing a thing was so regarding past Presidents of Finland was a significant commentary of some kind?
Since you do not know:
Every major party candidate for President of the United States has been completely open about his past. Records ARE thrown open. Even private medical records always have been – even right down to the prostate exam results – or at least since the middle of the 20th Century or so.
Now in at least some cases the medical records were handled by having a number of reporters have a single opportunity to examine them all, rather than opening them permanently to everyone. Still, the point is, every past candidate let the American people know basically everything as part of what was needed, and used to be needed, to run for this important office affecting everyone.
This is why we know for example that Bush received C’s in college. He didn’t hide his records away.
It was widely known by every kid in the country, or a vast number anyway, when growing up that if he ever wanted to be President then EVERYTHING would be known about him, right down to childhood. It’s been a part of the American culture for a long time.
Heck, if you want to be a Secret Service agent – protecting the President rather than being the President – you’re going to have every single thing checked about you, and you’d damn well better not have had anything sealed. And yes, they really do interview your elementary school teachers and so forth as part of the application process.
Obama’s acts in this regard have been bizarre and unprecedented in American history.
So you’re wrong: Every major candidate DID “turn all that shit over,” or more precisely made it open, to the American people.

Actually FDR and JFK, just to name a couple of Presidents, were successful in hiding very severe, crippling health problems from the American public, and Richard Nixon kept virtually everything a secret until Watergate broke. I’m sure there are more examples, but for now these are sufficient to prove your premise flawed.
Hmm… I say “since the middle of the 20th Century or so” and you cite FDR and JFK as supposedly proving me wrong.
Well, Biden thought that FDR went on television, so perhaps your confusion with dates puts you in his company.
What is your evidence that Nixon sealed or otherwise hid his personal information when running for President?
And returning to FDR and JFK, further, even those cases are limited to personal medical records being kept private. The reason I cited the approximate date exception there is because that indeed used to be considered private, but hasn’t been for quite some time now except for Obama who was given a free pass.
You are wrong and cannot back it up if you have any concept that previous major-party Presidential candidates had their kindergarten, college, and passport records – or similar things – sealed and ever played a ridiculous game (if it’s not fraud, then it’s a ridiculous game) of claiming there’s an original birth certificate with all the data, but you can only see a shorter form that doesn’t have all the data and which can be obtained with only personal affidavit. Geez, it’s just too private to see the doctor’s name who did the delivery and so forth. Can’t allow anyone to see the alleged original, don’cha know. Too private.
All of that is bizarre and unprecedented.
Can you give me a good reason for going to the trouble of having passport records sealed? Or kindergarten records? (Besides claiming that he is so considerate of others that he didn’t want his kindergarten teachers bothered by interviewers, which is the best effort anyone here has put forth on that one.)
Can you name a single known incident of a past major-party Presidential candidate doing something at all like that?

Well, I admit, I missed your “middle of the 20th Century or so”. That being said, I’d say 1960 counts as being during/after the middle of the 20th century.
And I would say that “or so” allows a 10 year leeway from the exact midpoint.
