Obama, The New Party & The Love Song of Saul Alinksy

'because everyone’s supposed to remember everything they did in their early days right?'

Riiight, ‘cuz, like, um, ya know, an ordinary person usually doesn’t remember both meeting and living with the exotic, African brother of his dead father.

And, of course, how could he remember what he did at the age of 36... 

In late October 2008, when I wrote here at National Review Online that Obama had been a member of the New Party, his campaign sharply denied it, calling my claim a “crackpot smear.” Fight the Smears, an official Obama-campaign website, staunchly maintained that “Barack has been a member of only one political party, the Democratic Party.” I rebutted this, but the debate was never taken up by the mainstream press. 

Recently obtained evidence from the updated records of Illinois ACORN at the Wisconsin Historical Society now definitively establishes that Obama was a member of the New Party. He also signed a “contract” promising to publicly support and associate himself with the New Party while in office.

  

 

Sort of like the time when he became a member of the Socialist New Party and denied it while running for President of the United States of America:

Minutes from a January 11, 1996 meeting, Kurtz claims, prove Obama’s affiliation with the group. The New Party’s Chicago Chapter had apparently recorded the president’s extensive involvement, including a purported request that he be endorsed by the movement.

“Barack Obama, candidate for State Senate in the 13th Legislative District, gave a statement to the membership and answered questions,” the minutes read. He signed the New Party ‘Candidate Contract’ and requested an endorsement from the New Party. He also joined the New Party.”

 

...And participated in functions like this when he was 'in his early days at the ripe-old age of 38...

 

And, however could one be expected to remember that?

Surely just another 'youthful indiscretion' or something...

And, finally, remember when he claimed not to be an acolyte of Saul Alinsky?  

 

I guess he realised that a man, who honoured 'Lucifer, wasn't exactly a popular idea in the United States nor would he be considered a particularly a mainstream role model by the overwhelming majority of Americans!
