Former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev made a near-endorsement of President Barack Obama on Monday, speaking to Chicago high school students prior to the World Summit of Nobel Laureates.
Then he joined former President Jimmy Carter, former Polish President Lech Walesa and other Nobel winners on a stage at the University of Illinois at Chicago urging high school and college students to take up the cause of world peace.
At Von Steuben High School earlier Monday, Gorbachev recalled two young men pressing him in 2008 on whether they should vote for Obama. He was unaccustomed to Americans asking him for advice, he said.

So it's official President Obama is a socialist communist. Brace yourselves for this meme.

(398 posts)who desire any modicum level of competence will support Obama. The alternative, they all feel, is totally ludicrous. I can't tell you how many friends, especially through FB, who live in other countries, admonish the US electorate for even tolerating any of the GOP candidates. When I actually get a chance to talk to them in person, they spill open saying that the US is going to hell in a hand basket just by having those "idiots" as potential nominees for the office of the POTUS. Really eye opening.
