They told us Obama was a socialist, but would we listen?

By Richard K. Barry

 

Jon Stewart will never run out of material as long as right-wing bloggers continue to exist. In a breathless post a couple of days ago, the Gateway Pundit revealed that Barack Obama will officially launch his reelection bid on May 5th, today, which just happens to be Karl Marx's birthday.

Well, isn't that interesting? Obama's team is masking its radical intentions for America by hiding them in plain sight. How clever. How insidious.

You know who else was born on May 5th? Soren Kierkegaard (Danish philosopher); Blind Willie McTell (blues singer); Tyrone Power (actor); Tammy Wynette (country singer); and Brian Williams (news anchor).

I have no idea what that means, but I'm sure someone with nothing better to do will figure it out for me.

(Oh, and happy birthday, Karl!)
