Obama's Former Classmate At Columbia Calls Him A Marxist And Offers Million-Dollar Challenge (Says a vote for Obama is a vote for 4 years of Karl Marx)
Topics: Political News and commentaries
I'm not sure what's bigger news here, Wayne Allyn Root's million-dollar challenge or Root's calling Obama a Marxist and saying that Obama is a communist:
Last week, just before Sen. Barack Obama's (D-Ill.) big speech, Tim Cavanaugh and I attended a small fundraiser for Libertarian Party vice presidential nominee Wayne Allyn Root. The chatty Vegas sports bettor, memorably profiled by David Weigel two months back, was in a mind to talk about a fellow classmate of his at Columbia University back in the early 1980s, a guy by the name of Barack Obama.Read on...., there's much more and this guy Root is a real hoot.Root is no fan of the Democratic nominee: "A vote for Obama is four years of Karl Marx, and no one should be happy about that," he told us and a few genial young libertarian activists over cocktails. "He's a communist! I don't care what anybody says. The guy's a communist.... And his mother was a card-carrying communist, and he says she's the most important person in his entire life; he learned everything from her."
But the thing Root really wanted to talk about was Obama's grades. Specifically, he was willing to bet a million dollars that he earned a better grade point average at Columbia than his old classmate, and that the only reason Obama went on to Harvard Law School was the color of his skin.
