What Obama and I Learned at Columbia:
How to Destroy America From Within
Posted on 11 November, 2013 By Wayne Allyn Root

(Blaze) Remember when Geraldo opened Al Capone’s vault live on national TV? Well I’m about to solve the mystery of Obama. I’m about to break “the Obama code.” I’m about to tell you everything about the way Obama, and the people around him, really think. I’m about to rip open the true Obama plan to destroy our country. Because I was there when the plan was hatched.

How do I know all this? Because I was Barack Obama’s college classmate at Columbia University, Class of 1983. I was easy to recognize – the lone outspoken conservative in a class of 700 students. I knew I was in trouble when my first political science class at Columbia was “Communism 101″ taught by Professor Trotsky in the Fidel Castro Building, at the corner of Marx Blvd. and Lenin Drive.

I’m only half-kidding. My experiences at Columbia were not far off.

Everyone needs to hear my story because what Obama and I learned at Columbia explains EXACTLY what Obama is doing to America today.Sound like the policies of anyone you recognize in the White House? Does “We have to spread the wealth around” ring a bell? How about “If you own a business, you didn’t build that.”

How about Obama’s hatred of Republicans and refusal to negotiate with Congress? It’s clear he thinks he’s “morally superior” to conservatives. That attitude was born at Columbia too.

In 1981 when a student burst through the doors to our political science class and screamed “The President has been shot. They’ve assassinated Reagan”… my classmates yelled, hugged, high-fived, and jumped up and down cheering the death of a Republican. Today most of my classmates are either in government with Obama, or controlling the mainstream media. They talk about “moderation and compromise,” but always remember 30 years ago they cheered for the death of a Republican.

But, there’s more. We were all taught a simple, but brilliant plan. My classmates discussed it 24/7. It was their “American Dream.”

By the time the middle class realizes he’s the killer and they’re the prey, they’ll already be dead. It was called “Cloward-Piven,” after former Columbia professors Richard Cloward and Frances Piven. To bring down America and our capitalist system, they were taught to overwhelm the system with massive spending, entitlements and debt. That would cause the economy to collapse, wipe out the middle class, and bring Americans to their knees, begging government to save them.

It’s the exact plan Obama has been implementing. The centerpiece is Obamacare.

Obamacare isn’t about health care. It’s about bankrupting the middle class and addicting it to government dependency. It’s about redistributing wealth from the middle class and small business to Obama’s voters (the poor and unions). Its goal is to wipe out the last vestiges of middle class America, creating a two-class society: the super rich and the poor (both beholden to Obama).

Obama learned well, it’s working to perfection.

So that explains the plan. But how do you implement it? We were taught that at Columbia too.

A key component of the plan involved fooling the voters by calling yourself “moderate” and a “uniter,” even though you are a radical Marxist. We were taught to never admit what you really believe in. It involved demonizing your opponents, calling them “evil, greedy, extreme, radical, and terrorist.” Look in the mirror and call your opponents the very things you are.

Obama learned well.

The plan taught us to hide your true intensions (in other words- lie, misrepresent, commit fraud). So Obamacare is about “saving the uninsured,” as opposed to income redistribution.

Government regulations are to “protect us from global warming,” as opposed to wiping out small business.

Amnesty for illegal immigrants is about “fairness,” as opposed to creating 12 million new Democratic voters.

according to them it's true - but the author wasn't a classmate but attended columbia at the same time

So - it depends on your definition of "classmate" ?? I am very skeptical of "Snopes" on anything that deals with the current administration

I was Barack Obama’s college classmate at Columbia University, Class of 1983. I was easy to recognize – the lone outspoken conservative in a class of 700 students.

He doesn't claim to be Obama's BFF at Columbia ... but that he attended the same school at the same time and at the same level ... which would define "classmate"

Rape survivor speaks out against Obama

The lone rape victim who testified before the Illinois Senate on behalf of a 1999 rape-victim protections bill is speaking out against the lone Illinois state senator who chose not to vote for it: Barack Obama.

“I just couldn’t believe it. How could he do that? Thank God for the other [senators] who voted for it. They had a heart. They had compassion that Obama evidently doesn’t have,” rape survivor Michelle Eppel told The Daily Caller after recently finding out that Obama was the one non-yes vote. “He doesn’t care,” Eppel said.

The bill, signed into law by then-Republican governor George Ryan, affords rape victims the right to request that their cases be publicly sealed after their perpetrators are convicted. Eppel testified before both chambers of the Illinois legislature. Obama merely voted “present” on the bill while all other senators voted yes.

Rape survivor speaks out against Obama for voting ‘present’ on rape protections bill

The lone rape victim who testified before the Illinois Senate on behalf of a 1999 rape-victim protections bill is speaking out against the lone Illinois state senator who chose not to vote for it: Barack Obama.

“I just couldn’t believe it. How could he do that? Thank God for the other [senators] who voted for it. They had a heart. They had compassion that Obama evidently doesn’t have,” rape survivor Michelle Eppel told The Daily Caller after recently finding out that Obama was the one non-yes vote. “He doesn’t care,” Eppel said.

The bill, signed into law by then-Republican governor George Ryan, affords rape victims the right to request that their cases be publicly sealed after their perpetrators are convicted.

Eppel testified before both chambers of the Illinois legislature. Obama merely voted “present” on the bill while all other senators voted yes.

“I was talking to different senators, different House members, before I came to testify to push for the law. They really listened in Illinois when I testified. I told the truth, and thought, ‘All they could tell me was no,’” Eppel said.

“I was 19. I’m an example that it never leaves a survivor’s mind,” said Eppel, who was raped by a fellow partygoer more than three decades ago and still has lifelong injuries.

“It was 1981. I was at a birthday party. I had some beers, the perpetrator did too. It was safe to walk in those days because in Pontiac there was not a ton of crime. People would leave their doors unlocked,” Eppel told TheDC.

"Right away that next morning it was all about me on the radio. ‘A prominent community girl was raped.’ And then they used my name. Then the talk becomes about the victim. I felt like I was diseased or contagious. People in my community were afraid to talk to me.”

“When I sat in the bathtub [the next day], the water was just pure red from the beatings he gave me. I looked to my right and saw my mom’s razor. I looked at my left wrist. I looked at the razor. I must have thought it would be easy to just kill yourself because I was so overwhelmed,” Eppel said. “But the nuns put the fear of God into me. I was afraid I would go to Hell if I did that.”

“You can never go back to who you were, back to having what you loved about yourself. You miss that about yourself. It never comes back.”

Her perpetrator was sentenced to three to six months in prison after pleading to a lesser crime, with the judge sympathetic to the fact that he was under the influence of alcohol.

Eppel continued fighting for protections for rape victims. The “Michelle Eppel Law,” which forces perpetrators of sex crimes to pay their victims’ medical costs, was signed into law in Illinois in 2005 and officially renamed in her honor in 2009.

Eppel now questions Obama’s manhood. “How many issues does he push aside as president because he just doesn’t want to deal with it?,” Eppel said. ”The people want someone who will fight for them and protect them from harm. Why does he not do that?”

“I do not believe a leader of our country should be someone who has no compassion for someone else as a human being…he doesn’t care…it’s like he’s giving permission for the perpetrators to keep going. He’s not even man enough to protect us. How heartless,” Eppel said.

The White House did not return a request for comment.

Jimmy Kimmel took a few (well-deserved) shots at Barack Obama on Monday night over his fundraising trip to Los Angeles. For the record, Obama attended five fundraisers on the West Coast.

“The President is here for the same reason he is usually here
– to attend a few Democratic fundraisers.
It seems like the only time the President comes to LA is for money.
He’s like a college student who only comes home
to do his laundry and steal leftovers from the fridge.”

Yeah, like Jimmy said.

Obama: “I have never ‘made fun’ of tea-baggers.”
A Texas teacher sent a letter to President Obama about his opposition to Obamacare and got a hand-written letter in return.
http://pagesix.com/2013/11/27/presid...hing-in-letter

Thomas J. Ritter wrote to the president *expressing his dismay over the Affordable Health Care Act, and was surprised to get a response penned by Obama on official White House *stationery.

Ritter, a fifth-grade teacher at Sally B. Elliott *Elementary in Irving, Texas, had written to the president: “This bill has caused such a *divisive, derisive and toxic environment . . . The reality is that any citizen that disagrees with your *administration is targeted and ridiculed.”

Ritter continued: “I hesitated to write for fear of some kind of retribution . . . I watched you make fun of tea baggers and your press secretary make fun of Ms. [Sarah] Palin which was especially beneath the dignity of the White House . . . Do the right thing not the political thing. Suggest a bill that Americans can support.”

All right, so it’s important to note Ritter uses the term “tea-bagger” first, a common term used by the Left to ridicule Tea Partiers, but here’s Obama’s response: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/arti...#ixzz2ltZos2W3

‘I… appreciate your concern about the toxic political environment right now. I do have to challenge you, though, on the notion that any citizen that disagrees with me has been “targeted and ridiculed” or that I have “made fun” of tea-baggers.’
