Charles Manson thinks Barack Obama is 'a slave of Wall Street'
Billionaire Donald Trump recently proclaimed he is the Democrats' worst nightmare, but it's hard to imagining someone more frightening than Charles Manson ending a 20-year silence to call you out.
The 76-year-old spoke recently to Spain's Vanity Fair magazine on the 40th anniversary of his conviction in the Sharon Tate and LaBianca murders.
President Barack Obama is "a slave of Wall Street," the diminutive cult leader said by telephone from Corcoran State Prison to journalist David Lopez.
"He doesn't realize what they are doing. They are playing with him," Manson said of Obama. The president recently was being petitioned by Manson's lawyer, Giovanni Di Stefano, to free the iconic killer, who has been incarcerated since 1969. That request was refused.
When he wasn't proclaiming how "bad" he is, Manson rambled about how people need to pay attention to the enviornment and global warming.
"Everyone's God, and if we don’t wake up to that, there’s going to be no weather because our polar caps are melting because we’re doing bad things to the atmosphere," Manson warned.
"If we don't change that as rapidly as I’m speaking to you now, if we don’t put the green back on the planet and put the trees back that we’ve butchered, if we don’t go to war against the problem...' he said before trailing off.

Big news. Obama lost the mass murderers constituency. Thanks LAT. Next I would like to know what the hookers on Rodeo Drive think about the current monetary policy and the Fed.

Why is Charles Manson still in prison? He had no more to do with the actual murders of Sharon Tate and LaBianca than George W. Bush had to do with the murders of 100's of thousands of innocent Iraqis (over WMD that did not exist). The only difference between in what Manson did and what George W. Bush did is the number of people who ended up dead.... And why do we even have Parole Boards when they know before they even interview the prisoner that he/she will die in prison? Where is the fairness in that. It only serves to make a joke out of the entire Parole system.

Congratulations, LAT: Drudge Report, in its never-ending quest to post ANYTHING anti-Obama, has linked to this story. They'll gladly share a murderous psycho's warped opinion of the president with their bigoted, compassionless viewers if it makes Obama look bad.

Charles Manson never committed or ordered any of the crimes he was convicted for. One of the reasons he did not receive a fair trial was the pre-trial media exploration that convicted him before he even gotten in a courtroom. Just as now: the media is changing Charlie’s statements out of context to attracted more readers. Whomever is interested to read the real interview and the true words said by Charles Manson we strongly advice to read it on this website: www.mansondirect.com

Why should he care about the life of the planet when he takes away human life..

This type of speeches are violating. I never believe it. Racism should not be done. We have to overcome it. And Barack Obama proved again that he is in the right way.
