Obama Socialist Youth Group Photo Discovered in Hawaii
A 1975 photograph showing Barack Obama giving a Nazi-style salute alongside a group of socialist youths has been found near Obamaâs childhood home in Hawaii. Buried deep within in the archives of Oahuâs Makiki Community Library, the incriminating snapshot was taken at Camp Unity, a socialist youth hostel where Obamaâs mother worked as treasurer. Obama is shownÂ in the back of a group of about 25 camp members saluting Hitler-style, while singing the Socialist Party anthem âThe Internationale.â The song calls for social change through revolution, as revealed in the line: Letâs claim the earth henceforth for brothers, and in the following verse:Â Then come comrades rally/Â And the last fight let us face/Â TheÂ Internationale/Â Unites the human race. During a speech in Austin, TX, Senator Ted Cruz (R-Texas) remarked, âStunned. Iâm not surprised, just stunned. The era of Obama lawlessness is over.â Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin responded with both barrels; first on Facebook calling the photograph a âgoldmine for those of us who knew that the truth from the light of day would eventually shine on Obamaâs lies.â She then took to Twitter and offered a one-word tweet: âGotcha!â a reference to television host Katie Couricâs âgotcha journalismâ ambush interview style. An archivist discoveredÂ the photograph in a library storage room with the notation Camp Unity GleeÂ Club Photo, 1975, withÂ âBarry Obamaâ listed as a member of the socialist youth chorus. Camp Unity was investigated for un-American activities in the 1970s, and eventually disbanded after an investigation by the IRS revealed federal income tax irregularities. As expected, Obama apologists are denying the photographâs authenticity. Democratic National Committee Chair Debbie Wasserman Schultz called it âa convenient ploy to divert attention from the Republicansâ do-nothing performance in Congress.â Republican National Committee Chair Reince Priebus said âThis endsÂ the Democratic Party in America â and itâs a fitting end to an administration which has led America down the wrong path.â Whether the revelation will do more to speed up the call for Obamaâs impeachmentÂ is up for question. âWhy waste more of the taxpayersâ money,â said Preibus. âThe damage he has done to himself and his Democratic party will play itself out, and our national nightmare soon will be over.â National Report will provideÂ updatesÂ to this developing story and its effectÂ on the Democratic Party, still reeling from nationwide midterm electoral losses.
