Yes, he was a supporter of Obama. He also recognizes how easily people were fooled.

Stein was a big Obama supporter Didn't he also support or contribute to Al Franken? Sneered at Peter Schiff? I'm thinking he peaked with Ferris Buehler.

Funny when these guys see the light. Stein was a big Obama supporter. Hind sight is 20-20 but the writing was on the wall for this guy if anyone took the time to look at it. Most liberal voting record in the senate for his very short tenure. I remember all the pundits on TV saying that he would govern towards the center . Problem is they didn't say the center of what.... Cheers Chuck

Ben Stein? Thought he was a Republican. He was a speech writer for Nixon. Found this. He was against Obama and for Franken. en.wikipedia.org Stein drew fire for a 2008 interview with Glenn Beck in which Stein compared US President Barack Obama's campaign rally at Invesco Field to Adolf Hitler's Nazi rallies at Nuremberg.[28] The Economist called Stein's invocation of Nazism an intentional use of logical fallacy to distract from the campaign. Quite notably Ben Stein endorsed Democrat Al Franken in the 2008 Minnesota Senate race, calling him an "impressive guy". [30]

Stein's thoughts during the campaign. He was definitely not an Obama supporter. ------------------------------------------------------------------- Ben Stein: Obama Will Be Real Dangerous by Matt Margolis on February 15th, 2008 at 01:45pm Ben Stein on was on “Kudlow & Company,” yesterday, and gave his views on Barack Obama’s economic plan: “Mr. Obama could become president and derail everything because his understanding of economics is 100 percent wrong. … I must say I’m so scared about Mr. Obama becoming president. I can hardly tell you. [...] [Obama] understands nothing. He wants to shut down the oil companies, take away their profits. Kill every state teacher’s pension fund that’s invested in XOM [Exxon Mobil]. I am terrified of this guy. Either somebody has got to wise him up or he has to wise up himself or he will be real dangerous.” Bad on the economy. Bad on fighting terror. But hey, at least he can give a good speech, right? blogsforvictory.com
