Awww. It looks like the President is getting a little homesick for Van Jones and Carol Moseley Braun.

NDTV has the story:
The Left may have staged protests during his visit but US President Barack Obama was “glad” to meet an Indian communist leader last evening.
“I am glad to meet an Indian communist. I am told that communists have been part of the (Indian) political mainstream,” Obama told CPM Politburo member Sitaram Yechury at the Rashtrapati Bhawan banquet as they were introduced and both shook hands.
Oh, how the President regrets that communists aren’t part of the political mainstream here in the United States. Oh, wait, we’re talking about Barack Obama. Looks like they already are.

Uhm... well I am glad that he is glad that he is meeting international communists... I am not glad that he is doing so with my money though. How come he still gets away with things like these is amazing to me.
Was he a "Maoist"?
Maoists are true morons. Not even Mao knew what the hell the word meant from one day to the next. And plenty of people got whacked for guessing wrong.
It's no surprise that Obama is pleased to meet an Indian communist, he's been meeting with American communists most of his life and he is comfortable with them. In fact, some of his best friends are communists: Davis, Ayers, Dohrn, Van Jones, etc.
How long can we afford to pay to keep Obama out of the country? I'm hoping the longer he stays out of the country the more likely he'll decide not to come back since he's among his own kind, commies and Muslims.
mosely-braun, the convict is running for mayor of chicago! this will be the 2nd convicted felon who has been the mayor in my lifetime, if she is elected. that is all you need to know about the city, its residents, and the "process" of elections here.
Well, it's not like you have many choices.
Mobsters or Convicted Felons. I know, Russian Roulette!
