Hannelore Morton> During a July 25 meeting with Vietnam’s current communist Premier Truong Tan Sang, Obama said: At the conclusion of the meeting, President Sang shared with me a copy of a letter sent by Ho Chi Minh to Harry Truman. And we discussed the fact that Ho Chi Minh was actually inspired by the U.S. Declaration of Independence and Constitution, and the words of Thomas Jefferson. Ho Chi Minh talks about his interest in cooperation with the United States. And President Sang indicated that even if it’s 67 years later, it’s good that we’re still making progress. President Obama is partially correct, but the context of that “inspiration” reveals both a lot about Ho Chi Minh and about Barack Obama. Clearly Uncle Ho was willing to say anything to enlist America’s support against the French. When this failed, he took on the French with a little Soviet support and had defeated them by 1954. Then, after a period of consolidation, this great admirer of Thomas Jefferson attacked sovereign South Vietnam, with covert Soviet and Chinese support, sparking the Vietnam War. The communists played a similar game in China, deliberately portraying themselves (with the help of American sympathizers in the State Department) as non-communist “agrarian reformers.” Fidel Castro played similar games in pre-revolutionary Cuba. Hugo Chavez in Venezuela repeatedly denied he was a socialist – until he had consolidated sufficient power. I would suggest that a protege of Communist Party member Frank Marshall Davis and a long time “Party friend” like Barack Obama, would be well aware of the history behind his statements. The Devil can cite Scriptures to suit his purpose. Communists have a long history of citing the US Constitution and invoking American patriotism to suit theirs. Barack Obama does it regularly…
