Barack Obama Exposed

"If you tell a lie loud enough and long enough the people will believe it!” exclaimed Adolph Hitler over 50 years ago. Barack Obama has run a presidential campaign that is based on two words: hope and change. When you ask the average Obama supporter what his accomplishments are or what he would change America to, you will most likely get a blank stare in return. The fact is that most people know very little about Barack Hussein Obama but get starry eyed because he has achieved celebrity status in America. He has used soaring rhetoric and empty promises to dupe the American people into believing that he is something that he isn’t. Obama is a radical leftist and could be easily called a Marxist because of his extreme ideology. He espouses socialist views that would drastically take this country to the left. Watch any interview of speeches that he gives and the solution that he gives for every problem is more government. Most people welcome this because they don’t want to be personally responsible for their lives anyway. They would rather hand over their freedoms one by one to an even larger government. They don’t realize that the government that is large enough to give them everything is also large enough to take everything away. You have heard the rumors and speculation surrounding just who Obama is. In this thoroughly researched article, I would like to consolidate the facts into a point by point analysis that will give you a much clearer picture of what a disaster Barack the Radical would be for this country.

1. Obama supports infanticide. Late-term abortions are designed to prevent a baby from living outside of a mother’s womb. Most would define a baby who survives an abortion as a human being with a right to live. While Obama was a state senator, an Illinois nurse named Jill Stanek testified before the Illinois Senate Judiciary Committee. She related an experience where she found an abandoned Down Syndrome baby who was an abortion survivor in a soiled utility room. She held him for the 45 minutes that he lived while barely clinging to life. http://illinoisreview.typepad.com/illinoisreview/2008/01/top-10-reasons.html Her stunning story can be watched here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fhsTCySy734 Obama was the only Illinois senator who rose to speak against the bill that would have recognized these abortion survivors as human beings. Rather than stick to his position which would have probably been unpopular, he decided to vote “Present” as he would later do over 100 times on multiple issues. http://www.ilga.gov/senate/transcripts/strans92/ST033001.pdf Pg 86-87 He voted against the Supreme Court nominations of John Roberts and Samuel Alito. On March 29, 2008, commented on his two daughters. “I am going to teach them first of all about values and morals. But if they make a mistake, I don’t want them punished with a baby.” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GbZJYWjkAPo His opposition to the 2002 Born-Alive Infants Protection Act, which would have recognized abortion survivors as human beings, highlights what a radical abortion stance he really holds. John McCain has been emphatic that life begins at conception. Obama says that to answer that question would be above his pay grade. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mem_xEcZHVY An emerging spokeswoman for the Born Alive Act has been featured in a new ad that is very sobering. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=anieuWFWe8s Gianna Jessen tells her story of surviving an abortion and promotes the Born Alive information here: http://bornalivetruth.org/ Is it fair to ask the question, “If the down syndrome child that was born to Sarah Palin had been born to the Obamas, would that child still be alive?” Maybe this is also why he supported sex education for kindergarteners. But wait, his campaign clarified that is should be “age appropriate.” http://michellemalkin.com/2007/07/19/obamas-great-idea-sex-ed-for-kindergarteners/

2. Is Obama a Muslim? No one can prove this definitely. The reason that some people question this is because he has had some facts spring up that cause people to wonder. An American expatriate in Southeast Asia points out that Obama had his religion listed as Islam when enrolling in school in Jakarta. http://laotze.blogspot.com/2007/01/tracking-down-obama-in-indonesia-part-3.html In his book Obama Nation, Dr. Jerome Corsi highlights something that Obama said himself. “Out of the blue, Obama clearly states, “In Indonesia, I had spent two years at a Muslim school, two years at a Catholic School…….In the Muslim school, the teacher wrote to tell my mother that I made faces during Koranic studies.” (Corsi, Page 52) There was an extensive article in the LA Times that listed assertions from Obama’s childhood classmates that he was a Muslim. http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/bal-te.obama16mar16,1,7181735,full.story?coll=la-headlines-nation. “On July 9,2006, the Jakarta daily Banjarmasin Post published an interview with Rony Amir, a classmate of Barry Soetoro’s at the Franciscan Assisi Primary School……Amir recalled Obama’s enjoying football and marbles, as well as being a Muslim. “We often asked Barry to the prayer room close to the house, when he lived in Street H Ramli, in the Menteng Dalam area of Jakarta”…..Amir speculated that Obama had to change his religion if he planned to run for the president of the United States, because America would never elect a Muslim president.” (Corsi, 58-59) Other childhood friends insist that he was a Muslim. http://laotze.blogspot.com/2007/01/obama-hoisted-on-his-own-petard-one.html “In introducing Reverend Wright in Dreams from My Father, Obama says in passing that Wright had dabbled with liquor, Islam, and black nationalism in the 1960s. In the version of his sermon “Audacity to Hope,” from which Obama got the tile of his second book, Wright himself admits he was a Black Muslim for a time. “I was influenced by Martin King, yes, but there was this other guy named Malcolm, and I tried one brief time being a Muslim: As salaam alaikum, {Peace be with you},” Wright said in the sermon, “Anything but Christian.” If we wanted proof that Wright was ever a Black Muslim, this sermon gives us proof in Wright’s own words. One wonders if Obama did not recognize himself in the reverend and his experiences, including Islam.” (Corsi, 187) His father was a Kenyan Muslim. His stepfather was an Indonesian Muslim. Half-brother Obango is a Muslim. He came under additional scrutiny when he let slip “his Muslim faith.” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xAJQyMrb9is&feature=related

3. Obama recently did an almost treasonous action. He went to Iraq and tried to seek a deal with the Iraqi foreign minister to stall the withdrawal of American troops until after “he becomes President to take credit for it.” This is an act bordering on treason. He went behind the back of an acting President and American generals on the ground. The media has been very quiet on this story although it has been confirmed. http://www.nypost.com/seven/09152008/postopinion/opedcolumnists/obama_tried_to_stall_gis_iraq_withdrawal_129150.htm He literally violated U.S. law and undermined the diplomatic process that we have. The Logan Act prohibits an unauthorized citizen to negotiate with foreign governments under potential felony. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Logan_Act The Obama campaign took over five hours to respond to this story because it is so potentially explosive. http://www.spectator.org/dsp_article.asp?art_id=13897 Rush Limbaugh also weighed in: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7IAOJ41bbF8

4. Taxes. Obama has continually changed his agenda on taxes. He touts a plan that would only raise taxes on people who earn over $250,000. Most people hear this and get very excited. People may take a second look though when they find out they are being taxed out of their other pocket. Obama’s tax plan can be based on one of the points from the Communist Manifesto. From each according to their ability, to each according to their need. He believes that the police power of the government should be used to levy massive tax loads on those who are successful. In effect, income redistribution. http://www.taxfoundation.org/publications/show/23319.html You will always have the people who participate in class warfare believing that the rich should be punished for being wealthy. They of course could not have possibly earned their money legitimately so take their money and give it to those who didn’t earn it. http://www.ocregister.com/articles/tax-percent-federal-2077390-taxes-tiger Obama said in his acceptance speech that he would cut capital gain taxes on small businesses. People cheered and admired his sympathy for small business owners. But was he economically ignorant as he is on other issues? Small businesses do not pay capital gains taxes anyway! http://www.forbes.com/home/2008/09/04/barak-obama-taxes-tech-enter-cx_sm_0905obama.html Rather, Obama wants to heavily tax people who would most likely invest in new start up businesses. Make no mistake about it. When wealthy people are taxed too much, they simply take their money out of the capital market and find more tax friendly vehicles to put it in. America is in desperate need of capital. With big banks failing, many large companies are turning to foreign countries because many organizations have large amounts of money to infuse into the U.S. Raising capital gains taxes on individuals is very dangerous to a slowing economy. Obama has had shifting positions on the issue saying that he would raise to anywhere from 20% to 28%. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8LNqBS5OyqM Charles Gibson asked Obama at a presidential debate the question of capital gains taxes increases. Even though every time capital gains taxes have been raised and government revenue went down, Obama insisted that he wanted to do it for the sake of “fairness.” This would be in line with his socialist view of income redistribution. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WpSDBu35K-8 It has been proven that when capital gains taxes are raised, government revenue goes down. http://townhall.com/columnists/DonaldLambro/2008/04/17/obama_at_a_big_loss_over_capital_gains So what does this mean to you? If you have money in retirement plans that utilize the stock market, then you would be directly hit. Let’s say that you have $500,000 gain at retirement, instead of paying $75,000, under Obama the price tag of 28% would have you pay $140,000. It would be at that point you would realize that the “tax the rich” mantra is pure propaganda. He voted against repealing the Death Tax also. Many of his followers get excited when he talks about closing corporate tax loopholes and making them also pay more. Corporations don’t pay taxes. They simply embed those costs in the price that you pay for the service or item that they are selling. It would do everyone good to look at who actually pays taxes in America. The bottom 50% of income earners pay about 3% of the income tax bill. Obama thinks that the 1% of income earners that pay 40% of the total tax bill should be taxed much more heavily. http://www.ntu.org/main/page.php?PageID=6 So who will lay off people and quit investing when this happens? In summary, if you work hard and become very wealthy, you are part of the “evil rich” that must be punished. Your money should be redistributed to those who have not earned it. http://www.gop.com/News/NewsRead.aspx?Guid=a0b47e3f-db96-4356-863c-f2149cefb6c1 Many people incorrectly believe that those who earn over $250,000 are the ones that are really wealthy. Many small business owners easily earn this much in revenue when they have multiple employees. The same people that Obama is claiming to help he will hurt the most. Joe Biden also joined in by saying that paying higher taxes is patriotic. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aDD08sDKPgI

5. Long standing association with Bill Ayers and his wife Bernardine Dohrn—the unrepentant terrorists who bombed the U.S. Capitol, the Pentagon, and New York City Police Headquarters in the 1970’s. Ayers was a member of the radical Weather Underground that engaged in domestic terrorism against the United States. Obama felt it was necessary to knock on his door in Chicago to get the political clout that he needed for the city’s political machine. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m89m0pC_bpY Ayers said in the September 11, 2001 issue of the New York Times that he regretted that he didn’t do more terrorist acts in the United States. Just read this article for more and to view the photo of him stomping on the American Flag. http://www.chicagomag.com/Chicago-Magazine/August-2001/No-Regrets/ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D-45A6I-N5I Obama served on the Woods Fund Board in Chicago with this man and gave multiple speeches with him. Ayers served as the pathway for Obama to gain political notoriety. http://townhall.com/columnists/HughHewitt/2008/04/17/airing_the_ayers-obama_connection Ayers to this day utters anti-American views that are utterly despicable. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6YrDwYNEyw8 Obama’s clear ties to Ayers should be cause for alarm to any concerned citizen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxoiZdBSi-g You can watch a more detailed video here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxoiZdBSi-g http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2008/08/obamas_ayers_ties_are_relevant.html

6. His philosophy of income redistribution. This was touched on earlier but it is interesting to see that Obama disregards the fact that higher taxes results in lower government revenue. He would rather carry out redistribution to achieve “fairness” in his perfect utopia America where everyone would be more equal. In his recent interview with Bill O’Reilly, he outlines this flawed way of thinking. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1XW7tkN-_GM

7. Plan to cut defense and military spending. Instead of looking for ways to lower entitlement spending, he would rather cut down our nuclear and defense capabilities. In a time of increased importance of national security, he is worried about cutting money out of the military. Yet another reason Americans would not be safe under an Obama administration. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rb6EE3C7uWE While he was on his whirlwind tour of Europe, he refused a planned visit to wounded soldiers. His campaign stated that they did not want it to turn into a political event. However, the Pentagon made it very clear that he could visit as an official senator, just not with all the publicity that always surrounded him. http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/07/25/obama-cancels-visit-to-us-troops-in-germany/ He decided to go work out at a gym instead. http://www.thelocal.de/13337/20080728/
8. Elitist. America has traditionally been a center right country. Many people pride themselves in working hard and providing for their families. There are huge blocks of voters who live in rural areas that should especially take offense at comments which Obama made at a San Francisco event. This was a gathering of big donors that threw an extravagant fundraiser for him. While there, he did not know that he was being recorded. This may explain why he was so open in using the comments that he did. He talked about these small town voters. ….”it’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.” http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xNoJ0q6HrK8

9. Lies. I will only mention several because you can easily find more than I have listed:
Selma. Obama gave a “Selma Speech” in which he said the following: “There was something stirring across the country because of what happened in Selma, Alabama, because some folks are willing to march across a bridge. So they got together and Barack Obama Jr. was born. So don’t tell me I don’t have a claim on Selma, Alabama.” This was a falsehood. He was referring to a voting rights march in Selma that took place in 1965. He was born in August 1961. That’s a little hard to make the math work.
Selective Service. “During his 7 September 2008 interview with George Stephanopoulos on ABC's This Week with George Stephanopoulos, Obama said the following: "I had to sign up for Selective Service when I graduated from high school. And I was growing up in Hawaii. And I have friends whose parents were in the military. There are a lot of Army, military bases there. "And I actually always thought of the military as an ennobling and, you know, honorable option. But keep in mind that I graduated in 1979. The Vietnam War had come to an end. We weren't engaged in an active military conflict at that point. And so, it's not an option that I ever decided to pursue." Obama did graduate from high school in Hawaii in 1979, but he could not have registered for Selective Service then. Nobody could. In 1975, President Gerald Ford terminated the Military Selective Service Act. It was not reinstated until July 1980. That is one year after Obama graduated from high school. In July 1980, Obama was no longer living in Hawaii. He was living in Los Angeles.” http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2076859/posts
Uncle liberating Auschwitz. He made up the story. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RzFR8IAD1jQ The fact is that the Russians liberated it. http://thesop.org/index.php?article=11330
Breaking his promise to do townhall meetings with John McCain. Earlier this year, Barack Obama promised to do townhall style debates with John McCain to get up close to the American people. So far he has refused to meet with McCain at any of these after continuing efforts by McCain to remind Obama of his promise. Could it be that Obama is scared to get away from a teleprompter? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Z7sS566D8E http://hotair.com/archives/2008/08/03/its-official-obama-runs-from-town-hall-debates/

10. Michelle Obama does not epitomize the character of what a first lady should be. Prominent Democrat surrogates continually insinuate that those who don’t vote for Obama do so for race reasons. Michelle wrote in her thesis at Princeton, “Regardless of the circumstances under which I interact with Whites at Princeton, if often seems as if, to them, I will always be Black first and a student second.” Her full thesis can be read here: http://www.scribd.com/doc/2305083/PrincetonEducated-Blacks-and-the-Black-Community Earlier this year, she said some statements that many viewed as downgrading America: “we're a divided country, we're a country that is "Just downright mean, we are guided by fear, we're a nation of cynics, sloths, and complacents. We have become a nation of struggling folks who are barely making it every day," she said, as heads bobbed in the pews. "Folks are just jammed up, and it's gotten worse over my lifetime. And, doggone it, I'm young. Forty-four!" http://newsbusters.org/blogs/tom-blumer/2008/03/09/michelle-obama-s-mean-america-statement-gets-nearly-free-media-pass It is very understandable that she held some serious grudges against America after attending Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s church for 20 years. Maybe this is why she said that she is proud of her country for the first time in her life since her husband is running for president. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7WNGjawtP48 She also said to not vote for Sarah Palin just because she is “cute.” http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2008/sep/18/michelle-obama-dont-vote-because-shes-cute/

11. He does not take a stand. In the Illinois Senate, Obama voted “Present” over 130 times. Instead of taking the position of yes or no, it was more politically expedient to vote present. Just go on youtube and search for all of his flipping and flopping on issues. Take any major issue and you can be pretty sure that he has changed his mind on it at some point or another.

12. Is he patriotic enough? His supporters believe that questions raised by opponents about his refusal to wear an American flag pin and the instance of not placing his hand over his heart during the National Anthem are unfounded. No one is saying that he is unpatriotic. However, his associations with those who hate this country seem to correspond with the larger picture. He said in an interview that he did not have to wear “that pin” anyway. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JmHtGQq-z_Y Here is the video where he was the only person on stage who did not put his hand over his heart. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hU9iCANi02o

13. Obama wants to eliminate secret ballots in union elections. Currently if an employer brings up the option to unionize to employees, they can vote by secret ballot. Under the bill HR 800, (which Obama actively advocates to pass) the secret voting option would be eliminated. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Employee_Free_Choice_Act Can you imagine the pressure that an employee would be under if they refused to vote to unionize? This is another example where Obama wants to eliminate the free choice of workers. Union organizers could individually pressure the employee to sign or lose potential benefits. The following video is a great look into this bill: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Jht-i0tS14 By increasing the power of the unions, the very free market economy is threatened. In a time of increasing competition, the last thing we need is an even more powerful union influence on employers. http://boortz.com/nuze/200809/09092008.html

14. Obama has close ties to many of the cronies who are in part responsible for the financial system meltdown. His top economic advisors and vice presidential selection team members are former CEO’s and officials of the failed Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae institutions. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nj_TohAh7_E John McCain cosponsored a bill called the Federal Housing Enterprise Regulatory Reform Act of 2005. This would have stopped the Enron-style accounting practices that Fannie and Freddie were engaged in. The Democrats led by Chris Dodd (who was busy getting sweetheart kickback deals from Countrywide) stopped this from ever happening. John McCain had the foresight to know what would happen (and now is happening) if Fannie and Freddie were to continue to inflate earnings reports to enlarge the bonuses of the top executives. Now the Democrats try to put this off as a failure of the Bush administration. http://hotair.com/archives/2008/09/17/mccains-attempt-to-fix-fannie-mae-freddie-mac-in-2005/ The Democrats as a whole receive the most money from these two organizations and the report can be found here: http://www.opensecrets.org/news/2008/09/update-fannie-mae-and-freddie.html It is interesting to note that even though he has been in the U.S. Senate only a short time, Barack Obama is the 3rd highest recipient of these donations. http://www.opensecrets.org/news/2008/07/top-senate-recipients-of-fanni.html For him to act as if he is free from any knowledge of the shady accounting practices that they mortgage giants were engaged in is totally ridiculous.

15. The very powerful teachers unions endorse him. http://www.aft.org/presscenter/releases/2008/071308.htm These unions are getting bigger to the detriment of government schools. It is interesting to note that most elite liberals including Obama refuse to support school choice but at the same time send their kids to private schools. Monopolies all over America are broken up with the exception of the stranglehold on government schools. As long as taxpayer money is not allowed to follow the student, there will be no true competition in the education of America’s children. Parents who wish to give their children an alternative form of education are forced to pay extra on top of their taxes that go to public school funding. The teachers unions have done virtually nothing to improve education anyway. In 1989, teachers were paid $47,354 a year in today’s dollars adjusted for inflation. Now we pay them $47,750—an increase of $400. Wow! The unions vehemently oppose merit pay and that is why teachers quit in mass numbers. They overwhelmingly support the Democratic Party and that is why school choice vouchers may be a thing that is never seen.

16. Opposition to the 2nd Amendment. American’s have always felt the need for the existing right to bear arms. If citizens cannot protect themselves, how can they sleep safe in their homes at night? While Obama was in the Illinois State Senate, an interesting case emerged that showed his true beliefs on gun rights. http://www.worldnetdaily.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=36995 A burglar broke into the home twice of Hale DeMar, a fifty-two year old Wilmette resident. On December 28, 2003, DeMar woke up in the middle of the night to find multiple things stolen by a thief. The next night the thief returned. Concerned for the safety of his family, DeMar shot the thief who then fled away by crashing through a front window. The burglar had an existing criminal record. On January 8, 2004 the city police chief arrested DeMar for violating the town’s handgun ban. He said, “Handguns create a hazard in the home.” DeMar fired back in a letter that was published by the Chicago Sun Times, “"Until you are shocked by a piercing alarm in the middle of the night and met in your kitchen by a masked invader as your children shudder in their beds, until you confront that very real nightmare, please don't suggest that some village trustee knows better and he/she can effectively task the police to protect your family from the miscreants that this society has produced." Eventually all charges were dropped because public outcry would have been overwhelming. In March 2004, the Illinois State Senate introduced Bill 2165. This would have given citizens a right to protect themselves against home invasion, overriding local ordinances against handgun possession. Barack Obama was one of 20 state senators to vote against the bill. It passed by the final of 86-25. The governor vetoed it. The Senate voted again in November to override it. Again Obama voted against the bill. It finally became law because of the overwhelming majority who recognized this fundamental right of citizens to protect themselves. Obama has consistently voted against gun rights. http://www.gunbanobama.com/Default.aspx?NavGuid=530ecfa4-ae4e-4819-97e6-892463d99f08 Maybe that is why he mentioned the “people clinging to their guns and religion” phrase at the elite San Francisco fundraiser. Normal citizens do not have his luxury of around the clock security. It is easy for elites such as him to think that citizens don’t need to protect themselves. Before he became a national figure, Obama sat on a board called the Joyce Foundation. Among the grants he approved were nine totaling $2.7 million to gun control advocate groups. http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0408/9722.html $20,000 went to help publish this book: http://www.banhandgunsnow.org/everyhandgun/index.html

17. Europe loves him. Why would countries that have socialist style systems and have such a bad view of the United States love him so much? Why would Obama make a Europe tour instead of campaigning to gather the votes of U.S. voters? http://www.reuters.com/article/politicsNews/idUSLA49136220080910?feedType=RSS&feedName=politicsNews&rpc=22&sp=true

18. Terrorists endorse him. Hamas endorsed him. Ahmed Yousef, chief political advisor to the prime minister of Hamas said on ABC radio, “We like Mr. Obama, and we hope that the will win the elections.” http://worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=64247 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I2KO-cZZahU Fidel Castro endorsed him also. http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/washington/2008/05/obama-castro.html I’m sure you could find more, but I will leave you with a last one: communist North Korea/Kim Jong Il even likes him. http://michellemalkin.com/2008/06/22/yes-the-ultimate-obama-endorsement/

19. 20 year membership at the radical Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago. We all know who Reverend Wright is. The racist Black Liberation Theology preacher who was Obama’s pastor for over 20 years. He spewed hatred and racism for many years and of course Obama claimed to know nothing about it. Yeah right. He must have been sleeping through every service. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VUbUBTlmAiA http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jc2FCJ7zWEQ&feature=related If you look back at the relationships he has had with radical people, he later distances himself from them saying that they were not “the person that he knew.” Father Pfleger was also a speaker at Obama’s church and supported Obama. He was listed on the Obama website as one of the people who faith who endorses Obama. Pfleger also supported Obama financially. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWigzBClEk8 It is interesting to note that in return for the contributions from the radical preacher of racism, Obama directed $225,000 of grants to the St. Sabina programs for Father Pfleger. http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/chi-0705030035may03,0,3860794.story It also makes you wonder why his pastor of 20 years Rev. Wright and Father Pfleger are not on his list of faith endorsements. http://faith.barackobama.com/page/content/faithtestimonials

20. None of his supporters can make a good argument that he is qualified to be President. He has no significant legislative accomplishments. No one knows anything of substance about him. In fact, one could make a very strong case that he would not be able to get security clearance due to his radical associations which shady characters and unrepentant terrorists. However, you are not required to have one as president. Interesting. He has one of the thinnest resumes of any candidate in presidential candidate history. But that doesn’t matter to most. They just “hope” that he will “change” things. To what? Socialism? Obama was in the U.S. Senate for just 143 days before he launched his presidential exploratory committee. He said himself in 2004 that he would not be comfortable running for president based on his inexperience. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Y2encXLmPDo When Joe Biden was honest with voters, he said that Obama shouldn’t be elected because the presidency doesn’t lend itself to on the job training. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RDVUPqoowf8 Back before MSNBC reporter Chris Matthews switched his support from Hillary Clinton to Barack Obama, he actually became a responsible journalist for one minute and asked one of his surrogates what qualifies him to be president. That hilarious exchange can be seen here: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ybd7MUixxyg Why isn’t Matthews asking this question anymore? Maybe it’s because he is busy getting “thrills up his leg” after Obama speeches. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3m9Gbb6NSwM

21. . Obama’s gravitation to Marxist/Communist philosophy. In his book Audacity of Hope, Obama showed his distaste for Ronald Reagan. “his John Wayne, Father Knows Best pose, his policy by anecdote, and his gratuitous assaults on the poor.” In his book Dreams from My Father, Obama mentions a friendship that he had with “Frank.” It is well documented that this was referring to Frank Marshall Davis. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frank_Marshall_Davis Davis admitted in his own book that he was “brainwashed for years after the Bolshevik revolution.” During the McCarthy era, there was an effort to discover and root out communists in America. He was a member of the Communist Party USA and eventually moved to Hawaii to get out of increased scrutiny. This is where he crossed paths with Obama and was a mentor to him. http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?pageId=56859 Obama has stated that Malcolm X had a dramatic impact on him. In 1979, Obama entered the Occidental College in Los Angeles. He later described in his book Dreams From My Father how he chose his friends. “The more politically active black student. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and the structural feminists and punk-rock performers.” Even one of the bloggers featured on the Obama website is a known communist sympathizer. His name is Sam Graham-Felsen. After leaving Harvard, he was a contributor to the leftist publications such as The Nation and Socialist Viewpoint. An excerpt from that website says, “What we intend to do is to continue to promote the idea of building a revolutionary Marxist working class political party through the pages of Socialist Viewpoint magazine. We continue to have an optimistic outlook about the revolutionary potential of the world working class to rule society in its own name—socialism.” http://socialistviewpoint.org/who_we_are.html While at Harvard, he hung a Communist Party flag that he had brought back from Russia. http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=62681 He participated in leftist street riots in Paris. This also brings up the incident when it was discovered than one of the Obama campaign offices of Barack Obama had a flag of Che Guevara hanging up. This was the South American revolutionary who became Fidel Castro's executioner after the communist takeover in Cuba. http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=56293 . I have personally observed some of his supporters wearing Che Guevara T-Shirts. Why would they do that? Graham-Felsen has been an active contributor to leftist online outlets. He said in 2007 that Obama can be “considered the antiwar candidate.” http://www.thenation.com/blogs/notion?pid=162299 He also looked at Obama as a “superstar of the movement.” http://www.thenation.com/blogs/notion?pid=130647 Why would have Obama selected this Marxist sympathizer to be an official blogger for his campaign? He still actively posts on the Obama campaign website here: http://my.barackobama.com/page/community/blog/samgrahamfelsen Wonder why the media doesn’t dig up what he wrote in the past regarding Chomsky? http://littlegreenfootballs.com/article/29708_Obamas_Official_Blogger_A_Hardcore_Marxist#rss He was named the most liberal senator in the Senate by National Journal. http://nj.nationaljournal.com/voteratings/ People are willing to vote for the most radical leftist that is in the Senate?

22. Iraq. In the ongoing war on terror, Obama has taken multiple positions on Iraq. He truly stands for change—changing his mind whenever politics demands it. He has flipped so many times on the issue that one would wonder how he could possibly be a leader during a war effort. He likes to say that he opposed the war from the beginning. The fact was that he was not even a U.S. senator yet. He rather participated in anti-war rallies. Watch the video of his flip-flopping. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VHEIi4XKRmM In every recent interview, he refuses to acknowledge that the surge has worked because of the American military. He insists that tribal leaders should be given a large portion of the credit.

23. He refuses to allow us to tap our own energy resources. At a time when supply of energy has reached almost a crisis point. Obama continually blocks efforts to try and drill domestically. He proposes a windfall profits tax on the oil companies. Yeah, Jimmy Carter tried that and the predicted revenue that it was supposed to get only reached about a third of projected numbers. Oil profits go back into exploration and dividends on stocks that shareholders own. When other countries increase their domestic supply, he advocates sealing ours up. His alternative is to inflate tires and tune up cars. What a moron. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XzZNP4tTfV0

24. Refusal to privatize Social Security. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oV9GZUtCgPc The government has made a disaster of Social Security. They have literally spent the money already earmarked for the program and have to figure out ways how to pay it back According to the official social security government website, the agency’s own predictions say that the program is on track to be bankrupt by 2040. http://www.ssa.gov/pressoffice/pr/trustee06-pr.htm If you were allowed to invest privately what you and your employer contribute on a monthly basis, the return would be unbelievable. If it was just $400 a month for a 40 year working lifetime invested in good mutual funds, you would have $4.7 million dollars! But people would rather get their $1600 a month and scream bloody murder if the program were to be taken out of the hands of the government.

25. Obama would impose the Fairness Doctrine. For decades, liberal bias has dominated the mainstream media. In recent years, conservative talk radio and the internet have emerged as the “new media.” This has leveled the playing field a little bit but the TV side is solidly in the Obama camp. Liberals want nothing more than to silence opposition speech. They cannot compete in the open market in the talk radio field. Air America Radio tanked due to lack of interest and a very small audience. Since they cannot compete, voices on the left have demanded the implementation of the Fairness Doctrine. Simply put, if there were three hours of a conservative talk show on the air, radio stations would be forced to carry three hours of a liberal show to “make it fair” even if people didn’t want it. To keep out of the controversy, stations would no longer carry talk radio and resort to music or alternative programming. Thereby opposition would be ultimately silenced. The current law would allow the FCC to reenact the Fairness Doctrine if they chose to do so. The five person board consists of two Republicans and two Democrats. The fifth is the chairman who is appointed by the President. If Obama selected this person, it would only take a signature to reverse free speech. Republicans introduced a bill in 2007 that would prohibit reinstatement. Prominent Democrats stop any of these attempts and publicly say that they want the Doctrine returned. When liberals cannot compete with ideas, they resort to smearing or legislation to crush the opponents.

26. Obama would soften the laws on illegal immigration. It is no secret that he is against sealing the border and his socialized health plan would provide benefits for illegal immigrants. He supported legislation that would have granted legal status for children under 21 who would become U.S. citizens as long as they have lived here five years. He would also support in-state tuition rates for them also known as the “Dream Act” that failed in the Senate. He supported giving illegal aliens driver’s licenses.

27. Obama would socialize healthcare in America. This is a reason why he must not be allowed in the White House. This is one proposal that could not be undone. Once the government has taken over something as large and complex as the healthcare system, its new power role would not be diminished. You have heard the horror stories of healthcare in Canada and England. They are true. Google the stories and you will find the long wait times, untimely deaths, poor care, and patients having to take care in their own hands. The income of doctors would be limited and the shortage would increase even more so than now. Because health care is so costly, the alternative would be to ration it. McCain has a much better alternative by giving tax friendly ways for people to purchase their own health insurance. The “uninsured crisis” is not as it seems. 10 million are illegal immigrants, 15 million are eligible for Medicaid but don’t apply, 15 million adults whose children are eligible, and 10 million childless adults. http://www.newsmax.com/us/healthcare_illegals/2008/04/21/89656.html In fact, the number of uninsured has dropped. http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/08/26/dems-downplay-report-showing-decline-in-number-of-uninsured/

28. Obama wants to hand out free entitlements at an unprecedented rate. This would effectively create government provided and influenced education from cradle to college graduation. His 0-5 plan would accomplish universal daycare. http://www.barackobama.com/issues/education/#early-childhood Government elementary education is already free and now he wants to make that the case for college? This plan was taken directly from his website. “Obama and Biden will make college affordable for all Americans by creating a new American Opportunity Tax Credit. This universal and fully refundable credit will ensure that the first $4,000 of a college education is completely free for most Americans, and will cover two-thirds the cost of tuition at the average public college or university and make community college tuition completely free for most students. Recipients of the credit will be required to conduct 100 hours of community service.” http://www.barackobama.com/issues/education/#higher-education Why should we stop there? Let’s provide free housing, cars, healthcare, and retirement for everyone. That way we can have a true cradle to grave society.

29. He would support radical Supreme Court justices. He voted against the appointments of Justices John Roberts and Samuel Alito. He made a speech to Planned Parenthood on July 17, 2007 saying “We’re at a crossroads right now in America—and we have to move this country forward. This election is not just about playing defense, it’s also about playing offense. It’s not just about defending what is, it’s about creating what might be in this country. And that’s what we’ve got to work on together. With one more vacancy on the Court, we could be looking at a majority hostile to a woman’s fundamental right to choose for the first time since Roe v. Wade and that is what is at stake in this election” Translation? Appoint radical leftists who legislate from the bench like Ruth Bader Ginsberg. There is a very good chance that the next president of the United States could select 3 Supreme Court Justices.

30. Obama is an active proponent of the Global Poverty Act. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Global_poverty_act act This bill is intended to force the United States to spend 0.7% of Gross Domestic Product to help lower global poverty. Over 13 years time, this would be over $845 billion dollars! You see, liberals are generous with other people’s money. They want to take your money and force you to send it overseas in addition to the billions that we currently spend. http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=56405 But remember, Obama is a “citizen of the world” and is looking for ways to redistribute income. Obama himself has a half brother that lives in Africa on less than a dollar a month. I thought that money should be taken from the wealthy and redistributed to the poor? Obama’s income of over $4 million dollars last year would really help his brother out. The story can be read here. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1047399/Barack-Obamas-half-brother-discovered-Kenya-living-dollar-month.html Why doesn’t he offer to help his family out? After all, he did say in his nomination acceptance speech that we should be our brother’s keeper. This theme seems to be consistent with the Joe Biden pick. What a stingy man! His recent released tax returns reflect this. In the last ten years, Biden earned over $2.2 million dollars. His claimed charitable donations amounted to about $3600. This would be the same as giving $2.00 a week to charity if you earned $200,000. http://newsbusters.org/blogs/noel-sheppard/2008/09/12/will-media-report-bidens-miserly-charitable-donations They make quite the giving pair. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7MrA2uG1Ees Their percentage of income that is given to charity is laughable.

31. He will do anything and say anything to become president. Just look at his past. In 1995, an Illinois state senator named Alice Palmer chose Barack Obama to be her successor. She had decided to run for a seat in Congress but was unexpectedly defeated. She decided to run for the senate after all. Instead of deferring to her, he decided to fight her and three others to get them forced off the ballot. He hired lawyer gunslingers to challenge each signature that was on a petition to get Palmer on the ballot. This was true hardcore Chicago politics at work. You can watch the whole story here. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QPQedyt10To He continually touts his experience as a community organizer. In many cases, “community organizing” has been used to stir up the “have nots” and to cause them to seize power from the “have’s.” Another method of class warfare which Obama talks about all the time on the campaign trail. You could also call it community rabble rousing. Saul Alinsky was a social revolutionary who espoused the use of stirring up the populace through tension eruptions. He wrote Rules for Radicals, http://wnd.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=75101 http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saul_Alinsky In fact, Alinsky’s son wrote a letter to the editor of a prominent newspaper saying what a good job Obama did after the example of his father. http://www.boston.com/bostonglobe/editorial_opinion/letters/articles/2008/08/31/son_sees_fathers_handiwork_in_convention/?s_campaign=8315

32. His Iran flip-flops. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vaG6s05MKeM&feature=related The leader of Iran could be called Hitler, Jr. Obama did call Iran a tiny country and no serious threat. The President of Iran Mahmoud Ahmadinejad continues to develop a nuclear program, denies the Holocaust existed, and calls for the dissolution of Israel. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mahmoud_Ahmadinejad

33. His questionable support for Israel. While Obama sat on the board of the Woods Fund with Bill Ayers, the foundation made a $40,000 grant to the Arab American Action Network. The co-founder is Rashid Khalidi, and he made very inflammatory anti-Israel comments. He held fundraisers for Obama and was a friend and dinner companion of the Obamas. http://www.latimes.com/news/politics/la-na-obamamideast10apr10,0,5826085.story Later he became a professor at Columbia University known as Edward Said. Obama was photographed at an Arab community event in Chicago. http://electronicintifada.net/v2/article6619.shtml This is only one of multiple connections Obama has had to people who hold anti-Israel views. He has flip-flopped on positions regarding Israel throughout the campaign. http://web.israelinsider.com/Articles/Politics/12903.htm One of the Obama campaign advisors, Joseph Cirincione, has said that Israel must give up its nukes. http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?pageId=63031 Cirincione has been an outspoken critic of many Israeli actions and these are easy to find using google. http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2008/04/obama_keeps_hiring_antiisraeli.html

34. Obama has close ties to Tony Rezko, the convicted slum lord in Chicago who took millions of taxpayer dollars to build low income housing that later folded under his management. Rezko was also involved in shady real estate deal with Obama. http://www.gop.com/ObamaRezkoShadyDeal/ In return, Obama directed millions of dollars in taxpayer money to help build housing projects that Rezko owned and managed. http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=27970

35. His radical associations are mind boggling. The list includes an unrepentant terrorist, convicted slum lord, anti-Semite, anti-Americans, communists, Islamic extremists, racists, and various other controversial figures. Just google these names with Obama’s name and you will find a wealth of information: Raila Odinga, Bill Ayers, Bernardine Dohrn, Jerry Kellman, Saul Alinsky, Frank Marshall Davis, Rashid Khalidi, Ali Abunimah, just to name a few. You can just search these names with Obama and come up with your own research.

36. Obama has insinuated that McCain might “lose his bearings” while being President. However, for your amusement, I have assembled some of the many Obama/Biden gaffes that should give you endless humor. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zwZqfcYch9Q http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpGH02DtIws&feature=related http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=galtZF0nKYc http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZxBX8sz3tO8
