President Obama is in Russia to negotiate an arms control treaty. Here at home, the media finally did some digging into Obama’s records from Columbia University and what’s been found reveals that Obama was a student radical, as Andy McCarthy calls him.
During the campaign, I wrote a piece called “Why Won’t Obama Talk About Columbia? – The years he won’t discuss may explain the Ayers tie he keeps lying about.” So now, nearly six months into the Obama presidency, the mainstream media has finally done a bit of the candidate background reporting it declined to do during the campaign – other than in Wasilla – and whaddya know? The New York Times unearthed a 1983 article called, “Breaking the War Mentality,” that Columbia student Barack Obama wrote for a campus newspaper. The article shows that Obama dreaded American “militarism” and its “military-industrial interests,” while effusing enthusiasm for the dangerously delusional nuclear-freeze movement.
Moreover, while indicating a preference for the political wisdom of reggae singer Peter Tosh over Ronald Reagan or Scoop Jackson, Obama bewailed the “narrow focus” of anti-militarism activists, worrying that they were targeting the “symptoms” rather than the real “disease,” namely, America’s underlying economic and political injustice:

I’d say it’s better late than never that the Times unearthed this information, but with Obama’s plan to bypass the Senate when entering into a new treaty, it looks like it may be too late.
I wonder if any of the Blue Dogs are wondering why their votes on a new treaty with Russia don’t matter. At some point, someone has to call his bluff. He’s overstepping his authority and if someone doesn’t pull him up short, we might end up in a situation supporting foreign nations that do not like us, who only want our money to turn into weapons to destroy us.

I could forgive Obama’s college-aged idealism if he had learned anything since, but he has not and now he is in charge, and that is just downright scary.
