Pat Boone: Obama's A 'Marxist'; Does The President Have an 'Enemies List'?

Musician Pat Boone claimed President Obama is a Marxist, in an interview with FOX Business' Neil Cavuto on Thursday. The 78-year-old artist told Cavuto he is certain that Obama is following "his playbook; Saul Alinsky's 'Rules For Radicals,'" a guide written by the socialist philosopher regarding how to gain leadership power through community organizing and the like.

Cavuto expressed apprehension of breaching the topic by saying he wanted to stick to policy issues. Boone continued by saying that Obama has good intentions in that "he thinks [statist policy] is good for America ... a virtually socialist nation where nobody gets rich."

Boone also said in the interview that the president indeed was part of the White House "enemies list," which according to MSN was published by the Globe Magazine in 2009. The list contained names of dominant critics and detractors of the president and his agenda and was said to include a number of prominent journalists including Bill O'Reilly and Sean Hannity, as well as Former Governor Sarah Palin, R-Alaska.

Pat Boone adds his name to a growing list of celebrities that have split from the ideologically liberal majority of Hollywood. Most recently, actor Clint Eastwood lampooned the president at the 2012 Republican National Convention, pretending he was sitting in a chair next to Eastwood's lectern.

Actor Kelsey Grammer, most widely known as Dr. Frasier Crane on his NBC program, has been critical of the president and democratic policy. Additionally, a 2008 film by "Airplane!" director David Zucker showcased a number of conservative actors in "An American Carol," a Dickens-esque spoof on the ideology of liberal filmmaker Michael Moore. Some of the higher-profile names included Jon Voight, who recently campaigned for presidential candidate Mitt Romney, John O'Hurley; known best as clothing designer Jacobo "J." Peterman on the sitcom "Seinfeld," and Kevin Farley, brother of late comedian Chris Farley.

Additionally, actor Robert Davi, who starred as an Islamic militant in the film and is best known as "Bond villain" Franz Sanchez in "License To Kill," is a common sight at the annual Conservative Political Action Conference. He appeared on a panel in 2009 at the conference moderated by late journalist Andrew Breitbart that discussed the importance of conservatism becoming more influential in Hollywood. Pat Boone is not deterred by his alleged appearance on any executive branch enemies' list, and is himself also an oft-anticipated guest at the symposium. The annual conference is taking place this week in National Harbor, Md.
