Wayne Allyn Root, a Columbia University classmate of Barack Obama (class of 1983), recently wrote an article (June 10, 2011) about his thoughts on his then-classmate Barack Obama. Mr. Root is an American politician, entrepreneur, television and radio personality, author and political commentator. He ran as the Libertarian Party VP nominee in 2008. You can verify authenticity at snopes: www.snopes.com/politics/soapbox/overwhelm.asp Since it is a rarity to uncover former college classmates or long-time friends who are willing to discuss their relationship with the president, Mr. Root's experiences are all the more revealing about a man who came to the White House from relative obscurity. Here is a portion of his observations: “Barack Obama is no fool. He is not incompetent. To the contrary, he is brilliant. He knows exactly what he's doing. He is purposely overwhelming the U.S. economy to create systematic failure, economic crisis and social chaos – thereby destroying capitalism and our country from within. Barack Hussien Obama was my classmate (Columbia University, Class of 83'). Look at his Czars … anti-business … anti-American. As Glenn Beck correctly predicted from day one, Barack Hussien Obama is following the plan of Cloward & Piven, two professors at Columbia University. They outlined a plan to socialize America by overwhelming the system with government spending and entitlement demands. Add up the clues below. Taken individually they're alarming. Taken as a whole, it is a brilliant Machiavellian game plan to turn the United States into a socialist/Marxist state with a government majority that desperately needs government for survival … and can be counted on to always vote for bigger government. Why not? They have no responsibility to pay for it. Universal health care - The health care bill had very little to do with health care. It had everything to do with unionizing millions of hospital workers and healthcare workers, 15,000 to 20,000 IRS agents (who will join government employee unions). Obama doesn't care that giving free health care to 30 million Americans will add trillions to the national debt. What he does care about is that it cements the dependence of those 30 million voters to Democrats and big government. Who but a socialist revolutionary would pass this reckless spending bill in the middle of a depression? Cap and Trade - Like health care legislation having nothing to do with health care, Cap and Trade has nothing to do with global warming. It has everything to do with redistribution of income, government control of the economy and a criminal payoff to Obama's biggest contributors. Those contributors can then be counted on to support everything Obama wants.

I can only add Obama has been doing a pretty job at this so far but if given a second term he will without any doubt succeed...IMHO

Barack Hussien Obama was my classmate (Columbia University, Class of 83'). And he didn't know it at the time. Mr Root seems to know quite a lot about Obama then and now Archie with all due respect to your avid support of Mr Obama Rahm Emanuel cynically said, "You never want a crisis to go to waste." It is now becoming clear that the crisis he was referring to is Barack Obama's presidency. Obama is no fool. He is not incompetent. To the contrary, he is brilliant. He knows exactly what he's doing. He is purposely overwhelming the U.S. economy to create systemic failure, economic crisis and social chaos -- thereby destroying capitalism and our country from within. Barack Obama is my college classmate (Columbia University, class of '83). As Glenn Beck correctly predicted from day one, Obama is following the plan of Cloward & Piven, two professors at Columbia University. They outlined a plan to socialize America by overwhelming the system with government spending and entitlement demands. Add up the clues below. Taken individually they're alarming. Taken as a whole, it is a brilliant, Machiavellian game plan to turn the United States into a socialist/Marxist state with a permanent majority that desperately needs government for survival ... and can be counted on to always vote for bigger government. Why not? They have no responsibility to pay for it. -- Universal health care. The health care bill had very little to do with health care. It had everything to do with unionizing millions of hospital and health care workers, as well as adding 15,000 to 20,000 new IRS agents (who will join government employee unions).

It has everything to do with redistribution of income, government control of the economy and a criminal payoff to Obama's biggest contributors. Those powerful and wealthy unions and contributors (like GE, which owns NBC, MSNBC and CNBC) can then be counted on to support everything Obama wants. They will kick-back hundreds of millions of dollars in contributions to Obama and the Democratic Party to keep them in power. The bonus is that all the new taxes on Americans with bigger cars, bigger homes and businesses helps Obama "spread the wealth around." -- Make Puerto Rico a state. Why? Who's asking for a 51st state? Who's asking for millions of new welfare recipients and government entitlement addicts in the middle of a depression? Certainly not American taxpayers. But this has been Obama's plan all along. His goal is to add two new Democrat senators, five Democrat congressman and a million loyal Democratic voters who are dependent on big government. -- Legalize 12 million illegal immigrants. Just giving these 12 million potential new citizens free health care alone could overwhelm the system and bankrupt America. But it adds 12 million reliable new Democrat voters who can be counted on to support big government. Add another few trillion dollars in welfare, aid to dependent children, food stamps, free medical, education, tax credits for the poor, and eventually Social Security. -- Stimulus and bailouts. Where did all that money go? It went to Democrat contributors, organizations (ACORN), and unions -- including billions of dollars to save or create jobs of government employees across the country. It went to save GM and Chrysler so that their employees could keep paying union dues. It went to AIG so that Goldman Sachs could be bailed out (after giving Obama almost $1 million in contributions). A staggering $125 billion went to teachers (thereby protecting their union dues). All those public employees will vote loyally Democrat to protect their bloated salaries and pensions that are bankrupting America. The country goes broke, future generations face a bleak future, but Obama, the Democratic Party, government, and the unions grow more powerful. The ends justify the means. -- Raise taxes on small business owners, high-income earners, and job creators. Put the entire burden on only the top 20 percent of taxpayers, redistribute the income, punish success, and reward those who did nothing to deserve it (except vote for Obama). Reagan wanted to dramatically cut taxes in order to starve the government. Obama wants to dramatically raise taxes to starve his political opposition. With the acts outlined above, Obama and his regime have created a vast and rapidly expanding constituency of voters dependent on big government; a vast privileged class of public employees who work for big government; and a government dedicated to destroying capitalism and installing themselves as socialist rulers by overwhelming the system. Add it up and you've got the perfect Marxist scheme -- all devised by my Columbia University college classmate Barack Obama.  Wayne Allyn Root was the 2008 Libertarian Party vice presidential nominee and serves on the Libertarian National Committee. www.lvrj.com/opinion/obama-s-agenda--overwhelm-the-system-95716764.html

PI,
I don't give too hoots if Wayne Root wants to speak out against the President. Lots of people do. I am just posting that he has no intimate knowledge of Obama, simply because they were at Columbia at the same time. Wayne Root himself says he didn't know Barack nor did anyone he know, know Barack.

have always wondered why NO ONE ever came forward from Obama's past saying they knew him, attended school with him, was his friend, etc. NO ONE, not one person has ever come forward from his past. VERY VERY STRANGE. This should really be a cause for great concern. To those who voted for him, YOU HAVE ELECTED THE BIGGEST UNQUALIFIED FRAUD that America has ever known! This is very interesting stuff. Sort of adds credence to the idea of The Manchurian Candidate thing having happened here! Stephanopoulos of ABC news said the same thing during the 08' campaign. He too was a classmate of BO's at Columbia class of 1984. He said he never had one class with him. Was he there? While he is such a great orator, why doesn't anyone in Obama's college class remember him? Maybe he never attended class! Maybe he never attended Columbia? He won't allow Colombia to release his records either. Suspicious isn't it??? NOBODY REMEMBERS OBAMA AT COLUMBIA !!!!!!! Looking for evidence of Obama's past, Fox News contacted 400 Columbia University students from the period when Obama claims to have been there, but none remembered him. Wayne Allyn Root was, like Obama, a political science major at Columbia who also graduated in 1983. In 2008, Root says of Obama, "I don't know a single person at Columbia that knew him, and they all know me. I don't have a classmate who ever knew Barack Obama at Columbia. Ever! Nobody recalls him. I'm not exaggerating, I'm not kidding. Root adds that he was also, like Obama, "Class of '83 political science, pre-law" and says, "You don't get more exact or closer than that. Never met him in my life, don't know anyone who ever met him. At the class reunion, our 20th reunion five years ago, who was asked to be the speaker of the class? Me. No one ever heard of Barack! And five years ago, nobody even knew who he was. The guy who writes the class notes, who's kind of the, as we say in New York , the macha who knows everybody, has yet to find a person, a human who ever met him. Is that not strange?" It's very strange. "Obama's photograph does not appear in the school's yearbook and Obama consistently declines requests to talk about his years at Columbia , provide schoolrecords, or provide the name of any former classmates or friends while at Columbia." en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wayne_Allyn_Root

As evidenced by the 2 year old bull market and the record profits that have been reported during it. ;)Since republicans took the house, things have slowed down a bit.Maybe they are closet commies with a hidden agenda.

Why aren't these capital gains being used to grow the economy by business investing and spending to create more jobs than the dismal employment numbers we saw last month?? And why isn't small business growing and adding new workers??

Wayne Allyn Root, a Columbia University classmate of Barack Obama (class of 1983), recently wrote an article (June 10, 2011) about his thoughts on his then-classmate Barack Obama. Mr. Root is an American politician, entrepreneur, television and radio personality, author and political commentator. He ran as the Libertarian Party VP nominee in 2008. You can verify authenticity at snopes: www.snopes.com/politics/soapbox/overwhelm.asp Since it is a rarity to uncover former college classmates or long-time friends who are willing to discuss their relationship with the president, Mr. Root's experiences are all the more revealing about a man who came to the White House from relative obscurity. Here is a portion of his observations: “Barack Obama is no fool. He is not incompetent. To the contrary, he is brilliant. He knows exactly what he's doing. He is purposely overwhelming the U.S. economy to create systematic failure, economic crisis and social chaos – thereby destroying capitalism and our country from within. Barack Hussien Obama was my classmate (Columbia University, Class of 83'). Look at his Czars … anti-business … anti-American. As Glenn Beck correctly predicted from day one, Barack Hussien Obama is following the plan of Cloward & Piven, two professors at Columbia University. They outlined a plan to socialize America by overwhelming the system with government spending and entitlement demands. Add up the clues below. Taken individually they're alarming. Taken as a whole, it is a brilliant Machiavellian game plan to turn the United States into a socialist/Marxist state with a government majority that desperately needs government for survival … and can be counted on to always vote for bigger government. Why not? They have no responsibility to pay for it. Universal health care - The health care bill had very little to do with health care. It had everything to do with unionizing millions of hospital workers and healthcare workers, 15,000 to 20,000 IRS agents (who will join government employee unions). Obama doesn't care that giving free health care to 30 million Americans will add trillions to the national debt. What he does care about is that it cements the dependence of those 30 million voters to Democrats and big government. Who but a socialist revolutionary would pass this reckless spending bill in the middle of a depression? Cap and Trade - Like health care legislation having nothing to do with health care, Cap and Trade has nothing to do with global warming. It has everything to do with redistribution of income, government control of the economy and a criminal payoff to Obama's biggest contributors. Those contributors can then be counted on to support everything Obama wants.

I don't know that he is correct in saying that his wrecking of America is a planned plan. I really have a hard time believing that anyone would knowingly try to change this country into a socialist one while seeing what socialism has done to other countries.
I am also shocked & amazed that a large segment of American doesn't see what's happening.
I do know that I feel President Obama has done a lot more damage to America than was done at Pearl Harbor.

PI, I know Archie but he Root does make this claim as verified on snopes so he knew of Obama at Columbia but not sure if they were close classmates or not??? on his then-classmate Barack Obama. Mr. Root I don't give too hoots if Wayne Root wants to speak out against the President. Lots of people do. I am just posting that he has no intimate knowledge of Obama, simply because they were at Columbia at the same time. Wayne Root himself says he didn't know Barack nor did anyone he know, know Barack. Wayne Allyn Root was, like Obama, a political science major at Columbia who also graduated in 1983. In 2008, Root says of Obama, "I don't know a single person at Columbia that knew him, and they all know me. I don't have a classmate who ever knew Barack Obama at Columbia. Ever! Nobody recalls him. I'm not exaggerating, I'm not kidding.
Root adds that he was also, like Obama, "Class of '83 political science, pre-law" and says, "You don't get more exact or closer than that. Never met him in my life, don't know anyone who ever met him. WA Root doesn't know a lot of things. but fortunately, other people do (from Snopes): Although Barack Obama may not have been particularly social or memorable during his years at Columbia, it isn't true that "no one ever came forward from Obama's past saying they knew him, attended school with him, was his friend, etc." Those who have attested to having daily personal experience with him during his time at that school include:
* Friend and roommate Sohale Siddiqi, whom the Associated Press located and interviewed in May 2008.
* Roommate Phil Boerner, who provided his recollections of sharing a New York City apartment with classmate Barack Obama to the Columbia College Today alumni publication and the New York Times in early 2009.
* Michael L. Baron, who taught the year-long honors seminar in American Foreign Policy that Barack Obama took during his senior year at Columbia and recalled in an NBC interview Obama's "easily acing" the class and receiving an A for his senior paper on the topic of nuclear negotiations with the Soviet Union.
Likewise, other external evidence documents Barack Obama's presence at Columbia from 1981-83, including:
* An article by Barack Obama published in the 10 March 1983 edition of Columbia's Sundial school magazine.
* A January 2005 Columbia College Today profile of Barack Obama as a Columbia alumnus.
* A Columbia College press release from November 2008 identifying him as "the first College alumnus to be elected President of the United States."
Finally, the fatal flaw in the "Obama didn't go to Columbia" theory is that he couldn't have been admitted to Harvard Law School in 1988 without having received an undergraduate degree. If he wasn't attending Columbia from 1981-83, he would have had to complete two full years' worth of coursework at (and graduate from) some other accredited college — yet his time between the end of his Columbia days in 1983 and his entering Harvard Law in 1988 is accounted for (working at the Business International Corporation and the New York Public Interest Research Group, then serving as director of the Developing Communities Project in Chicago), and no other school claims him as an alumnus, nor does anyone purport to have encountered him as a classmate or student at any other college or university during that period.
