yeah. Question Carrol: you wrote that surely BHO must know what kinds of things are said 'here'. By 'here' I assume you mean that he's aware of leftish critique from marxists and heavy users of marx.
If I've understood you correctly, I do have to wonder why Obama should be aware of what a leftist/leftish critique of his activities is. I could see him being aware of what various democrats and liberals think, but I can't see him being particularly aware of how Marxists think and, if he is, my guess is that he'd get it quite wrong. I don't know, I just think that it's fairly easy to be a very smart person and go through life being completely in the dark about leftist/leftish critique of politics in the u.s -- or elsewhere for that matter.
