Obama's Henchmen and the Rise of Commufascism Oct 10, 2008
If there was any remaining question of his revolutionary greatness, scattered around the nation are tri-color campaign posters of Mr. Obama, bearing a striking resemblance to the larger than life representations of Lenin, Marx, and Engels used by soviet propagandists in the glory days of Mother Russia. These communist styled knock-offs featuring Mr. Obama staring nobly if melodramatically into the distance and emblazoned with one-word utopian mantras such as Change, Progress,... (Townhall.com)

Feeling vindicated in Moscow Aug 14, 2008

Engels' communist ideals have been long since abandoned here - creating a much more prosperous new Russia, all too keen to re-assert itself economically and politically. (BBC News)

He is the original "welfare bourgeois." You know, those people who live off other's, yet claim they ain't gettin their fair share. (North County Times)
