Onetime singing sensation Andy Williams states the obvious in telling the Radio Times that Barack Obama is following Marxist theories and wants to turn the US into a “socialist country.”
Williams, 81, who was a friend of the Kennedy family during the 1960s and was present at the Los Angeles rally where Robert F Kennedy was assassinated in 1968, even praised the liberal Kennedy’s. “Had he lived, I think Bobby would have been a great president,” Williams said.
But on Obama, Williams sings a different tune: “I don’t like him at all,” he said, “I think he wants to create a socialist country. The people he associates with are very Left-wing. One is registered as a Communist.”
“Obama is following Marxist theory. He’s taken over the banks and the car industry. He wants the country to fail,” said Williams.
The report is carried in the Telegraph.
Age has not dulled Andy Williams senses. He is old enough to remember and sharp enough to speak out. He also has the “freedom” not to worry that he might offend his paying audience.
I never did understand his Kennedy connection, but at this point it doesn’t matter anymore. He dated Ethel, Robert’s widow, as I recall.
