Radicalinchief Barack Obama And The Untold Story Of American Socialism Stanley Kurtz by Stanley Kurtz B0042RUPPM instant download after payment.

President Barack Obama surprised many voters during a pre-election
interview when he approvingly noted that Ronald Reagan had “changed the
trajectory of America” in a way that other presidents had not. In
effect, Obama was saying that he, too, aimed to transform America in
some fundamental way. Yet while Americans in 1982 may have been divided
over Reagan’s politics, at least they knew what he stood for. Do we
really understand Obama’s vision for our country?
In his
controversial new book, veteran journalist Stanley Kurtz culls together
two years of investigations from archives and never-before-tapped
sources to present an exhaustively-researched exposÉ of President
Obama’s biggest secret—the socialist convictions and tactical
ruthlessness he has long swept under the rug.
A personable figure, a
thoughtful politician, and an inspiring orator, Obama has hidden his
core political beliefs from the American people—sometimes by directly
misrepresenting his past and sometimes by omitting or parceling out
damaging information to disguise its real importance. The president
presents himself as a post-ideological pragmatist, yet his current
policies grow directly from the nexus of socialist associates and
theories that has shaped him throughout his adult life.
Kurtz makes
an in-depth exploration of the president’s connections to radical groups
such as ACORN, UNO of Chicago, the Midwest Academy, and the Socialist
Scholars Conferences. He explains what modern “stealth” socialism is,
how it has changed, and how it continues to influence the Democratic
Party. He sheds light on what the New York Times called a “lost
chapter” of the president’s life—his years at Columbia—and proves that
Obama’s youthful infatuation with socialism was not just a phase. Those
ideas have shaped his political views and set the groundwork for the
long-term strategy of his administration.
It could be argued that
Obama’s past no longer matters, but, in a sense, it matters more than
the present. Obama has adopted the gradualist socialist strategy of his
mentors, seeking to combine comprehensive government regulation of
private businesses with a steadily enlarging public sector. Eventually,
in his hands, capitalist America could resemble a socialist-inspired
Scandinavian welfare state.
The gap between inner conviction and
public relations in Obama’s case is vastly wider than for most American
politicians. If Americans understood in 2008 the facts Kurtz reveals in
this shocking political biography, Obama would not be president
today. The fears of his harshest critics are justified: our
Commander-in- Chief is a Radical-in-Chief.
