A “Double Agent” For The Obama Administration

On May 25, BuzzFeed came out with the “bombshell” that Barack Obama took part in a DSA (Democratic Socialists of America)-sponsored event in 1996.
The copy under the headline reads:
“It’s a reminder that the President presented himself as much more progressive during his time in Chicago. In this little-seen advertisement that ran in the Hyde Park Herald in 1996, Obama was listed on a panel sponsored by the Democratic Socialists of America (DSA), University of Chicago Democrats, and University of Chicago DSA.”
Translation: Nothing to see here, move on.


Of course, conservatives reported on this four years ago, so that the bombshell was a little late in coming.“Right-wing bloggers have discovered Chicago DSA’s 1996 endorsement of Obama for the Illinois State Senate and Obama’s participation that same year in a University of Chicago Young Democratic Socialists town hall meeting on ‘Economic Insecurity.’”
What BuzzFeed has “uncovered” is simply the newspaper advertisement for the DSA “Economic Insecurity” event.
I put “uncovered” in quotes because we have be very careful here.
David Maraniss, in his new Obama “exposé,” Barack Obama: The Story, revealed a startling amount of detail of Obama’s mysterious New York years. Maraniss specifically sheds light on the oddity that even though Obama has been walking this earth for fifty-plus years, no girlfriend has ever come forward to present any information and/or dirt about the former community organizer. In the Mariniss excerpt, we learn of two girlfriends during the New York period in excruciating detail, with Mariniss getting a hold of letters and journals from Obama’s past flames.
