Does Obama want to Redistribute Wealth or Reorganize the Government

No one who is even a political novice can avoid the fact that most of Barry Obama's political views were shaped by Socialism and not Capitalism. If you listen here you might actually catch a glimse at what he said while serving as a state senator.

Paraphrasing, "one of the great failures of the equal rights movements was the inability to redistribute the wreath in this country"

America The Abused

America is an abused woman. At least the psyche of her is. The past 16 years have been hard on her. Her man, (The President) hasn't treated her very well.

It all started in 1992. America chose to hitch her wagon to Bill Clinton. He was a smooth talker and made her feel good about herself. He felt her pain and promised the world. Things went well for a while, but then the cracks started to show. There were tricky land deals and her friends were telling her that he was getting around.

Turns out the rumors were true. The President couldn't keep it in his pants and he drug America through some dark days. The lying and parsing of words continued to the point where she almost divorced him (Impeachment). Eventually she took him back and she didn't part ways with him until the pre - appointed time.

A new day dawned in 2001. America's new man was coming to town and he was going to save her from the lousy guy who cheated on her. George Bush was a Christian and could be trusted with her heart and to keep the financial house in order.

Then 9/11 happened. This terrible entity attacked her and America was left realing. For a time George picked up the pieces, held her closely and did his best to make her feel safe. He has kept her safe, the one thing throughout her relationship with him he has successfully managed to do.

But George broke his promises just like Bill did. He cut her taxes, but lacked the discipline to stop the spending. He bought, and bought, and tried to make her feel better by buying her things. What she didn't realize was that these gifts were bought with her money, not his. He too had abused her.

Once again she is looking for a new man. If things stay as they are she will pick the guy who tells her what she wants to hear. She doesn't know much about him and has heard he may have run with a less than desirable crowd in the past.

She doesn't mind that though. All she knows is that he has told her he will sweep her off her feet and fix all her problems. She's desperate to run to his arms because of the way she has been abused by her last two relationships. His promises, as empty as they may be will make her feel better, at least for awhile.

Then the terrible realization will set in. It will happen all over again.

Judgment

Throughout the presidential campaign, Barack Obama has frequently said one of his primary qualities that qualify him to be President is his good judgment. A closer look at his past choices will prove this to be patently false.

Ask yourself, "What are three of the most important aspects of my life?" You might answer your family, home, career, education, or religion. I would like to focus on three of these and discuss how Barack Obama's judgment impacted each.

First, is his choice of religion, specifically the church he attended for the last 20 years. We all know the tale of Reverend Wright who in multiple sermons over the years has said such things as blacks should not sing "God Bless America" but "God damn America." On the Sunday after the terrorist attacks of 9/11, Mr. Wright said the attacks were a result of violent American policies. Four years later he wrote that the attacks had proved that "people of color had not gone away, faded into the woodwork or just 'disappeared' as the Great White West went on its merry way of ignoring Black concerns."

This is a man close to Obama. How close? Close enough that Rev. Wright married Obama and his wife Michelle, baptized their two daughters and is credited by Obama for the title of his book, "The Audacity of Hope."

Obama has denounced the words of Wright as they have come to the forefront. Does anyone believe he had not heard such rhetoric from Wright before? If he felt so strongly about what was being said, why did he not leave sooner? It is a question of judgment.

Let's move on to the purchase of Obama's home. ABC News reported on January 10, 2008 "In sharp contrast to his tough talk about ethics reform in government, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., approached a well-known Illinois political fixer under active federal investigation, Antoin "Tony" Rezko, for "advice" as he sought to find a way to buy a house shortly after being elected to the United States Senate.

The parcel included an adjacent lot which Obama told the Chicago Tribune he could not afford because "it was already a stretch to buy the house."

On the same day Obama closed on his house, Rezko's wife bought the adjacent empty lot, meeting the condition of the seller who wanted to sell both properties at the same time.

Rezko had been widely reported to be under investigation by the U.S. attorney and the FBI at the time Obama contacted him and has since been indicted on corruption charges by a federal grand jury in a case that prosecutors say involves bribes, kickbacks and "efforts to illegally obtain millions of dollars."


This week, a federal judge in Chicago ordered the Rezko trial to begin Feb. 25.

Obama maintains his relationship with Rezko was "above board and legal" but has admitted bad judgment, calling his decision to involve Rezko "a bone-headed mistake."


Rezko's behind-the-scenes connection in the Obama house deal became public as Rezko revealed personal financial details as he sought to post bail.

While Rezko's wife paid the full asking price for the land, Obama paid $300,000 under the asking price for the house. The house sold for $1,650,000 and the price Rezko's wife paid for the land was $625,000." On June 4, 2008 a jury
found Rezko guilty of 16 of 24 felony counts, including fraud, money laundering and joining a bribery conspiracy. Again, I am left to question his judgment.

Finally let's discuss the start of Senator Obama's Political Career. Specifically, I'd like to discuss William Ayers and his involvement.

Ayers, spent 10 years as a fugitive in the 1970s when he was part of the "Weather Underground," an anti-Vietnam War group that protested U.S. policies by bombing the Pentagon, U.S. Capitol and a string of other government buildings. The organization was labeled by the FBI as a "domestic terrorist group." Ayers has said, "I don't regret setting bombs," and "I feel we didn't do enough,"

According to the Chicago Sun Times, "In the mid-1990s, Ayers hosted a meet-and-greet at his house to introduce Obama to his neighbors during his first run for the Illinois Senate. In 2001, Ayers contributed $200 to Obama's campaign. Ayers also served alongside Obama between December 1999 and December 2002 on the board of the not-for-profit Woods Fund of Chicago. That board met four times a year, and members would see each other at occasional dinners the group hosted."

"In addition, Ayers and Obama interacted occasionally in their roles with the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, a not-for-profit group charged with spending tens of millions of dollars it obtained through its affiliation with a school-improvement foundation created by late Ambassador Walter H. Annenberg. Obama chaired the Chicago Annenberg Challenge's board of directors. Ayers served on the Chicago School Reform Collaborative, which made recommendations to the board on which organizations should get grants. The groups worked on school-reform efforts between 1995 and 2000."

In a debate with Hillary Clinton, before the depth of his relationship with Ayers came to light, Obama said Ayers is "a guy who lives in my neighborhood." Clearly their relationship is much more than that.

Three of the most important things in anyone’s life, Religion, Home, Career

Barack Obama chose to sit in the pew of an anti-American, hate mongering bigot.

Barack Obama chose to buy his home with the help of a now convicted felon who committed fraud, and engaged in bribery.

Barack Obama chose to launch his political career in the home of an admitted terrorist.

These are his choices, his judgment.

Obama Ayers Dirty Laundry


During the 1960's few people were so active in protesting the Vietnam War as was William Ayers. Later in life not only was he unrepentant about bombing homes where children were sleeping, but in 2001 he lamented that he hadn't done more for the cause. He is now a supporter of Barack Obama and their relationship has since been down played by the media and by Barack Obama's handlers.
