How now Mao?

President Obama picks Timothy Geithner for Treasury secretary —someone who has trouble with his own tax return.

Anita Dunn, White House communications director, says Mao Zedong is a favorite political philosopher of hers.

Ron Bloom, manufacturing czar, says he agrees with Mao that political power comes largely from the barrel of a gun.

I wonder if these Obama-ites agree with Mao’s cultural revolution when millions of Chinese were slaughtered? Is this the United States of America with leadership like this?

Wake up America! This is not a story. These people can make decisions that will ruin our culture and gut our freedoms.
