Chunta Clark Classical Influences on the Current U.S. President
Karl Marx, born May 5 1818,) was a German philosopher, economist, socialist, historian, and revolutionist. (Source google.com) In my opinion, Mr. Marx seemed to resemble the greatest impact on our current Presidents views. Marx focus was the economy was and to create change. During the election, President Obama emphasized on change, as did Marx. As we reflect on history, being a radical leader takes strength and courage, which both Marx and Obama possesses. Marx felt that progress for all people only comes through communication between people facing the same struggles is a language for change. Marx also felt that conflict between classes of people would block progress and production of goods. Obamas seems to have this same opinion; he also believes that division between the democrat and republican parties has blocked the progression of a failing economy. Marx and Obama have similar views concerning social-economics, justice, poverty and our society. Shallow thoughts that running the country by the wealthier classes standards should only benefit that particular class. This despicable thinking seems to disturb Karl Marx and President Obama, also produces internal tension, which leads to self-destruction. This broken Government has been proven that to be found true, our last our last 8 years of republicans. President Bush along with his constituents has pushed the economy to the edge of a cliff. Obama’s theory is that the working class would govern a socialism society, which would then be a workers democracy. Obama has spoken of history transforming our society, which calls for a combination of both parties participation.

It appears that both pioneer of history consider both classes of people. Painting a concise picture for all people should be a plan for everyone to flourish. The America that something more the Marxism or Obamaism live in controls us, it all comes down to Communism in a free Country. These United States, have taken power over those less fortunate through the history of time. Seizing every opportunity to enslave humanity of color, creating inequality and untruths that we all have equal opportunity, which is most definitely a lie. Our social and economic status can greatly determine our destinies. The games that our systems plays have gravely affected 80% of Americans, by way of homelessness, poor healthcare, broken criminal justice system, and unequal pay scales for people of color and gender. Although my opinion is that Marx and Obama are the same, they share similar thoughts. Obama seems to favor Karl Marx as a great philosopher. (Reinhold Niebuhr). In a 2007 interview, Obama explained to David Brooks, a New York Times columnist, what he learns from Niebuhr) .Niebuhr was an American theologian, he invented the prayer quote “God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change” the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. Niebuhr’s realism address issues concerning communism and liberalism. Seated in the oval office, we can see history through the eyes and character of Obama. Open criticism of complacent republicans, battling while destroying America. Obama feels the need to show that history has paved a rocky path for us. The battle continues through calamities each day, as religious leaders and lobbyist are tie knots around the necks of middle class and poor. Millions of working families have suffered, pensions, lay offs, sicknesses, homelessness, man made diseases, crime, destroying our food and water source is sending the world into a culture shock, as greedy politicians and wealthy unleash an untamable evil across our nation.

In closing, we must all yield to one source, humankind. There is no slavery, ownership, nor communism in this broken government if the people would use their power and voice in, as we are one majority community. This world is one large community, when disaster strikes; it attacks our systems as a whole.
We each have the power to be Karl Marx, Obama, Bush, Clinton, Carter, etc within us, if we use that power to help the one race. We must choose to show a broken Government and resident that we believe in our amendments and will eliminate all forms of inequality. Hardship that we face as a nation will create unity or distance, but the choice is up to us. Obamas approach to create change, equality, and high standards for our country can make a positive impact if we come together to make change.
