I am becoming increasingly worried about the authenticity of Barack Obama. My first source of doubts was a report on npr by his friend and journalist who had followed him closely in Chicago who indicated that Obama was quite an operator and good at collecting monies from wealthy sources.
More recently I discovered that Obama’s claim to have authored the bill that tamed the nuclear industry was false — the various revisions of his bill directed to obliging the industry to reveal nuclear leaks immediately was so watered down in the end as to give carte blanche to the industry at large and to the company out there that had been a major leak offender, now a donor with an adviser to Obama’s campaign:
“And Obama’s sixth largest contributor is Exelon, the proud Chicago-based owner and operator of more nuclear power plants than any entity on earth (Center for Responsive Politics 2007a).”
There are other doubtful things raised in this article by Paul Street entitled: “Barack Obama and The Audacity of Deception: The Manufacture of Progressive Illusion.”

I am puzzled that our media have not followed up on any of the issues raised about Obama and fear that we may be being set up for a win by Obama of the Democratic nomination followed by a full scale attack on him in the general election. I do not want to do him injustice, but something does not ring right here with his claim that he can be in effect our next Ronald Reagan. Reagan was the original source of our current national economic, medical, and other disasters through his push to deregulate and sabotage our protective governmental agencies. We don’t need some sort of egomaniacal repeat.

Follow-up comment rss or Leave a TrackbackIt’s uncanny to me how few questions are being raised about the source of Barack’s funding for his senatorial campaign. Who sponsored him? Why? And if he’s so much an agent for change, why haven’t we heard a great deal about his stances for change in the US Senate?
Your words are just bullshits. Excuse me mister. You have no real argument and the fact that you are managing with the Hillary’s lies is obvious. It was the same argument set up 2 weeks ago by her.
Lies. The reason no questions have been raised is because there are no reasons for questions to be raised. Stop insulting my intelligence.
How many HALF-truths make the WHOLE truth? While you ZERO in on the ANSWER, let me restore your sense of confidence: I promise to take a copy of all the points you so rigorously analyzed along with me to the voting booth–when I vote for Obama on Super Tuesday.
Barack Hussein Obama will be out of politics and in jail this time next year. You who supported him are dimwitted fools. Anyone with half a brain can see through him in ten seconds. You can’t. You don’t even have half a brain. You’re pathetic - and a shame for your country.
Any fool can believe in a candidate without researching just who he is his policy’s or political party, after all isn’t this how Bush got elected? I had fears of rising gas prices and low and behold gas is topping $3.00 a gallon now. I knew that Bush would drag this country down and this is exactly whats happening.This race has nothing to do with the color of a man skin,gender,or political affiliation. It’s about continuing with the same policy’s that have failed us in the past or voting for change.Same old with McCain or Clinton or new with Barack Obama you decide but vote
how dare he use the word typical.well this white person is not typical.obama,sharpton,jackson are white haters.all 3 of them wouldnt make a patch on my ass.i am a former marine and viet nam vet.i was willing to give my life for my country.obama,sharpton,jackson all they done in this country is take,take and complain and hate.now that is typical.every young child that attends the churh of rev wright and hear the words of jackson, sharpton learn nothing but hate of the white man.
I was also in Viet Nam (spelled correctly} because I gradeated from grade school. Jethro Boden you sound like a good old boy b. a. white? oh sorry b.e.white. Yes Mr. White I went to that war to protect Democracy for the rich man and so our troops can do it now for our oil interest in the middle east.
I went to fight for this country so the lower income common man can get a break and not have to pay all the taxes while the rich man pays less so he can outsource his employees to India or some other low income 3rd world country and screw the American worker all in the name of saving a dollar and ruining our economy. Sounds to me like you voted for Bush and Chaney. Your destroying everything we fought for and your brothers died for. A government for the people by the people is all that we want and it’s about time we had it. So vote but remember when your driving to the polls and stop for gas why your paying over 3.00 per gallon. Republicans! I really don’t care who you vote for Clinton or Obama just don’t vote for McClain unless you like being crapped on. It’s time for America to wake up and smell the coffee. Don’t be stupid.
Oh by the way just in case you think I’m African American I am not I’m whiter than white having Irish descendants so go back to he south and keep on saying master cause if you vote republican that’s what we all will be saying as we scrub toilets in a rich mans house.
there is some good info on this website>>>>>

President of the United States should be held to a higher standard!
I dropped out of high school ( 10th Grade ) To join the United States army. I scored so high on my entrance exam that I was given a choice as to what ( MOS ) Job I wanted in the Army.
I chose The Nike Hercules Missile system as a crewman and nuclear weapon specialist for surface to air missiles. After successful boot camp I went into my Advanced Individual Training school. ( AIT ) The time was January of 1976 The school was in Fort Bliss Texas. When it came time to move into a Top Secret classroom environment, I was the last person given a Top Secret clearance and had to sweat making it into the class.
The reason and the point I am making was that the United states government had to send government officials in to my old neighborhood in Anchorage Alaska, where I had lived and talk to many of my neighbors and friends to determine if I had Ever used drugs or alcohol and to determine my character. I later found out that there were two individuals that knocked on residence doors and asked specifically about Marijuana use and other drugs.
During my work with nuclear weapons (I was 17 years old) I was continually in front of the Battery Commander and asked specific questions regarding drug use and or Past or present Alcohol abuse. If a person in my unit were even suspected of past or present use of drugs regardless of when it occurred he or she would not be permitted to work with or around Nuclear weapons.
The army regulation is AR50-5.
My question is how in the world can a commander in chief (The President of the United States) Admit to past drug use and be allowed the entire nuclear arsenal that the Military commands at his disposal.
As a footnote: In my Barracks were the photos on the wall of the chain of command. Starting with my 1st sergeant and going to the commander in chief. (The president) This is still in every Barracks in the Military!
If I would have been denied my clearance, and at the top of the chain of command was a person who admitted to drug use, How would I have felt. Better yet, how does the commander in chief circumvent this military law? Even if he is a civilian commander of the Armed forces how can you be allowed to control this nuclear arsenal after admitting to past drug use when no military personnel would even be allowed to get near one?

It has a lot of background…the largest number of articles I’ve seen on Obama on the Internet.
Thanks
Am I the only person in America concerned about Barack’s 20 year affiliation with one of the most Racist and Anti-American churches in the USA. Can we honestly believe someone who looks the American people in the eye and says he had no idea of the antisemetic views of Rev. Wright or the churche before the sermons were made public… That would be like a KKK member not knowing that the clan was anti black. Barack is a smart man who is running his campaign on the race card. He wouldn’t have even made it to the primaries had his skin color been white.
that what he is going to do to the united states if in the hot sit

Obama Lashes Out:
http://www.judiciaryreport.com/obama_lashes_out.htm
STRAIGHT TALK EXPRESS HE IS NOT.
By Wilgëens “AfroLatino” Rosenberg.
Take a look at Mc.Cain’s unwavering stance on Iraq today compare to his hypocritical stance then on Haiti & Somalia. Did Haiti & Somalia not deserve the very same unwavering commitment for success he is showing for Iraq?
Mc.Cain claims that our staying in Iraq is until success is achieved… No problem. So why the desire for success when US Troops were in poor Black nations like Haiti and Somalia was not as strong the desires Mc.Cain himself wishes to see in Iraq today? How about the wrongful foreign policies the US have towards other American nations in the Latin Americas in our very own hemisphere, needless to even mention the situation in Darfur, Africa…? Talking about flip flopping and double talk… but a Straight talk express he is not. Well, who is Mc.Cain…?
Take a look at these videos and you be the judge of what Mc. Cain real call of judgement is.

Hmm, now Mc.Cain on IRAQ:
Well, we all know what his stance is on “Profitable” Iraq today… along with his other flip flops on Affirmative Action, Immigration, Off Shore Drilling and so forth, you name it… In the words of Joe Biden, “A Maverick He Is Not” because here, you can see more of “flip Mc.Cain flops” for yourself in those videos bellow.

Some “straight talk” huh? Yeah right… Sounds more like “Double Talk” of usual politics to me. In other words, sounds like “More Of The Same” to me. Do you not think so?
As a US Soldier, a 2 times Iraq Veteran and a US Citizen, I would like to get some answers before I cast my Ballot comes November.
Have you noticed how people just cling to Obama like he is going to solve/save America? Hollywood clings to him and young people worship him without even really analyzing his background, politics, and voting record. Democrats blame Bush for economy and fuel crisis that America is in. Have they look at their hand? When Democrats point finger, three fingers are pointing back at them. Several Republicans have brought up issues of Fannie Mae and Freddie several years ago, but Democrats didn’t see any future crisis, so they weren’t concerned. It wasn’t Republicans who got America in this mess, it was the Democrats because they had control of the House and Senate last 4 years. What did Democrats do last 4 years to better the ecomony? Nothing, instead they took long vacations just like they took several days off for Jewish Holiday instead of trying to work on the bailout. Now they (Democrats and Republicans) passed the 700 Billion bailout made the CEOs richer and AIG after 85 billion bailout money was given to them, they took hundreds of thousands of spa vacation with our tax money. What is wrong with America? Obama’s economy plan will cost America trillions of additional money. To help with federal deficit, why don’t they start cutting House and Senate wages? Lets see how they can live on a limited budget just like average Americans. I thing Americans should band together and get rid of Republicans and Democrats who voted for the bailout bill. I didn’t realized in my 38 years how corrupt Washington has become. They arn’t there for the average American, they are there for themselves. Lets send them the message in November by voting out people to are to comfy in their seats for too long and put in Independents to control it.
–Long Time Democrat–
this is quite simple. you attack when you have no alternative solutions to offer. i’m a lifelong republican who is looking for mccain to show me exactly, in straight talk express terms (which i haven’t seen yet), what the hell he’s going to do. saying on national tv he “knows how to do” things doesn’t dumb it down enough for the average viewer. no one is buying, so he should stop selling. Go Obama.
I would love to see Americans actually THINK and READ SOME HISTORY before just blindly voting for “change”.Obama’s new tax plan makes no logical sense at all. 60% of the country’s taxes are ALREADY being paid by people who make $99k a year or more. The people he wants to “spread the wealth” to, pay in some cases 3%, or NONE, in taxes. Obama’s plan takes away all that makes America great: capitalism, ambition, entrepreneurial spirit–why strive to succeed when it will be taken from you? If you’ve worked hard enough to buy two cars, do you want to have to give one to your neighbor just because he doesn’t make as much? This is blatant socialism. Please think about this!
Please think about something else. This country’s government was set up in a way that there should be checks and balances.People who rave about Clinton completely forget that there was a Republican congress at that time, so there was some BALANCE.Having the 1st and 3rd most liberal voters in the Senate as Pres. and VP, with ultra-liberal Pelosi as Speaker and ridiculously liberal Reid as Senate Majority Leader…are you serious? You liberals will have plenty of serious representation–let’s be smart and have some balance! Too much of anything isn’t good. Seriously, let’s not put too much stock in the power of one man here. Our government is corrupt enough without putting in place a completely unbalanced lot to run it all.
Please read—-I believe you will find this important.
Those who have eyes to see, let them see. Those who have ears to hear, let them hear.
Having been a student of WW II and the events that led up to the rise of power of Adolf Hitler I found some troubling similarities to our time. I am convinced that we as a nation are in very similar circumstances. The whole text of the article can be found at the following URL. It is not an opinion. This is actual history. It did indeed happen, and it indeed is happening again. I know the media would never print this, but as long as we have freedom of speech, we can and we can decide who will lead us. I just ask for an open mind. Please share with those who are able to think for themselves.

#1 –In July 1921 Hitler became chairman of the party (No. 7 on the Executive Committee). In January 1923, French and Belgian troops marched into Germany to settle a reparations dispute. Germans resented this occupation, which also had an adverse effect on the economy. Hitler’s party benefitted by the reaction to this development, and exploited it by holding mass protest rallies despite a ban on such rallies by the local police. The Nazi party began drawing thousands of new members, many of whom were victims of hyper-inflation and found comfort in blaming the Jews for this trouble. The price of an egg, for example, had inflated to 30 million times its original price in just 10 years. Economic upheaval generally breeds political upheaval, and Germany in the 1920s was no exception.
“Economic upheaval generally breeds political upheaval” Wow! History repeating itself or what? What is the number one reason that Obama will be elected? The economic conditions have caused us as a nation to ignore his values, his beliefs, his agenda and his background. We as a nation are making our decision based upon fear and only what affects our pocketbooks.
A second volume of Mein Kampf was published in 1927. It included a history of the Nazi party to that time and its program, as well as a primer on how to obtain and retain political power, how to use propaganda and terrorism, and how to build a political organization. While Mein Kampf was crudely written and filled with embarrassing tangents and ramblings, it struck a responsive chord among its target and those Germans who believed it was their destiny to dominate Europe. The book sold over five million copies by the start of World War II.
Gee, sound familiar to someone else who just wrote a couple of books!!
Once released from prison, Hitler decided to seize power constitutionally rather than by force of arms. Using demagogic oratory, Hitler spoke to scores of mass audiences, calling for the German people to resist the yoke of Jews and Communists, and to create a new empire that would rule the world for a thousand years.
Demagogy (also demagoguery) (Ancient Greek δημαγωγία, from δῆμος dēmos “people” and ἄγειν agein “to lead”) refers to a political strategy for obtaining and gaining political power by appealing to the popular prejudices, emotions, fears and expectations of the public — typically via impassioned rhetoric and propaganda, and often using nationalist or populist themes.
Obama to a tee !!!
In 1924, Hitler promptly reestablished the NSDAP in Munich. The party was organized according to the Führer principle: it was headed by the Führer, his deputy, and the national leadership with the Reichsleiter heading nation wide departments of the party. The regional political organization descended from the provincial level (Gau), to the county (Kreis), local district (Ortsgruppe), and cell (Zell) to the local bloc (Block). Party organizations, in part para-military, such as the SA (Brownshirt storm troopers), SS (Blackshirt storm troopers), HJ (Hitler Youth), and the BdM (League of German Girls), which were also organized according to the Führer principle, were closely linked to the party, as were the affiliated associations (DAF (German Workers’ Front), NSV (National Socialist People’s Welfare), and the professional organizations of physicians, teachers, lawyers, civil servants, etc.).
This is where I received my original thoughts on this subject. I was watching the current videos that use children who are chanting the Obama message and was instantly reminded of the Hitler Youth organizations that I had seen video of years ago. These current images should frighten all Americans and Europeans who can remember the 30s an 40s.
Nazi Supporters
The Nazis won their support primarily from the lower middle class and the peasantry. These voters were strongly nationalistic in their political views and feared that the depression would deprive them of their standard of living. In religion, most of the Nazis’ supporters were Protestants. German Catholics remained firm in their support of the Catholic Center Party.
It is clearly documented where Obamas support is anchored.
Attitude of Big Business
There is little evidence to support the view that Hitler received substantial financial support from big business. The conservative upper classes generally regarded Hitler as an uneducated demagogue and gutter politician.
Oh my goodness —-this just keeps getting better!!!
Hitler’s Political Views
Hitler lived in Vienna for several years, working at odd jobs and absorbing the ideas of Austrian right-wing extremists. In 1913, he left Vienna and moved to Munich in southern Germany. He took with him the basic political ideas to which he would remain committed for the balance of his life. Central to Hitler’s thought were his notions of race. He believed in the racial superiority of the Germanic peoples (the Aryan race) and in the inferiority of other races, especially Jews but also Slavs and blacks. Hitler also advocated the Pan-German ideology that was popular among many Austrian extremists. Pan-Germanism held the view that all Germans should be united in a single state
Bill Ayers anyone?!! Reverend Wright!!?? I am not making any of this up. Read the History!!
As a form of government, National Socialism is totalitarian in character aiming at the total control of all politics, economy, social relationships and thought, by a small group which claims to understand how to cope with all aspects of human existence.
Summary of Hitler’s Rise to Power
The Great Depression of the early 1930’s resulted in the economic and political collapse of the Weimar Republic, Germany’s post-World War I experiment in democracy. Adolf Hitler demonstrated his political skill in taking advantage of the opportunity provided by the depression. He developed his Nazi Party into a mass movement and used a combination of his popular support and behind-the-scenes intrigue to propel himself into power. Once he gained office, Hitler moved with ruthless determination to crush his opponents and establish his totalitarian dictatorship. Furthermore, National Socialism showed how a modern “civilized” country could fall to fascism as well as Communism. It created virtual certainty of war in Europe owing to misjudgment of the situation by opponents. Third, it demonstrated that a modern dictatorship is hard to wipe out without war. Owing to his attack on the Soviet Union, Hitler’s Germany pushed America and Britain into an alliance with Stalin. Finally, by Antisemitism culminating in Holocaust, National Socialism highlighted its own genocide policies while reinvigorating Zionism
Now, I am in no way saying that Mr. Obama is a Hitler or capable of ANYTHING to approach the atrocities of the Third Reich and all its horror.
I do however believe that we will pay a dear price to accept a man who is going to save us with his ideas of “change” because we “fear”! Make no mistake – I am not happy with choices we have this election. Republicans hold much accountability for the mess we are in. I acknowledge that, but Obama is not the answer. A democratic congress, senate and President who is going to save us from ourselves should remind us of the nightmare that was Germany!

Obama is the kind who will tell you just what
you want to hear! When your back is turned he will stab you ….ha! He covers one lie with another! Open your ears and listen. How smart are you????
Obama wants to give a free ride to free-loaders. Equal opportunity is created by doing, not by taking. Enough of beating up on small business and putting the burden on the people who have worked hard to get ahead - hats off to all of those who got out of poverty like I did and rose above because I worked for a living starting at 13. I only got to go to college for a short time because we couldn’t afford it - no programs because of my skin color -no handouts - I now own many homes and a business and am paying for my children to go to college. Anyone can do it. I had 6 brothers and one sister - and no dad, he died when I was a toddler. Quit looking for the Obama HANDOUT ticket and pull up your bootstraps and get to work. Quit looking for equality in gay civil unions if marriage is denied. I never got a benefit handout for having a girlfriend! It just doesn’t work that way. Quit being tolerant of what you know isn’t right. Raise your children to say yes ma’am and no sir. Tell them my name isn’t Mr. Bob, but Mr. Smith. Teach your children to respect themselves and abstain from sex so they won’t be faced with the horror of abortion or raising a child before they reach their own full potential in life! Stand against injustice and racism. Just don’t stand up for Obama - he just isn’t the man people think he is. Our country is headed into moral decline and he will take it to the next level with his racist, liberal views. Stand against injustice my fellow Americans - stand against the ability to justify injustice under an Obama presidency.
No wonder Obama is weak on illegal immagration. You reaaly beleive that someone ( Obama ) that is so in tune with his history by naming this Aunt in one of his bogus books does not keep up with current affairs? Either he lied in his book or he is now. Or both. Not to even mention how the taxpayers are going to get the money that was given to an illegal over the last 4 years. Is Obama going to pay for the - Housing, welfare, medical…. Please… anymore out there?
