And the final bit of news. On September 7, 2008, The Washington Times posted a verbal slip that was made on 'This Week' with George Stephanapoulos. Obama on talking about his religion said, 'My Muslim faith'. When questioned, 'he make a mistake'. Some mistake!
All of the above information I got on line. If you would like to check it - Wikipedia, encyclopedia, Barack Obama; Tony Rezko; Valerie Jarrett: Daily Times - Obama visited Pakistan in 1981; The Washington Times - September 7, 2008; The Times May 10, 2008.
Now the BIG question - If out all this information on my own, Why haven't all of our 'intelligent' members of the press been reportin I found
A phrase that keeps ringing in my ear - 'Beware of the enemy from within'!
So the "enemy from within" is a muslim. You said it, calipauthy. What I think is so needed in this country is a return to a TRUE separation of church and state. I just don't think that the majority of people are able to readily practice their faith without shoving it down everyone else's throat. My pick for prez? A true atheist who will lead us away from all of these misguided religious "visions" that every leader wants to dump off on a pathetically eager public waiting for salvation from above rather than repairing their own damaged worldviews. God is not running for office. If he was, I'm sure the zealots would line up to slam him on how soft he is on abortion or some other "liberal" cause.
By 'chance' he met Antoin 'Tony' Rezko, born in Aleppo, Syria, and a real estate developer in Chicago. Rezko has been convicted of fraud and bribery this year. Rezko, was named 'Entrepreneur of the Decade' by the Arab-American Business and Professional Association'.. About two years later, Obama entered Harvard Law School. Do you have any idea what tuition is for Harvard Law School? Where did he get the money for Law School? More student loans? After Law school, he went back to Chicago. Rezko offered him a job, which he turned down. But, he did take a job with Davis, Miner, Barnhill & Galland. Guess what? They represented 'Rezar' which Rezko's firm. Rezko was one of Obama's first major financial contributors when he ran for office in Chicago. In 2003, Rezko threw an early fundraiser for Obama which Chicago Tribune reporter David Mendelland claims was instrumental in providing Obama with 'seed money' for his U.S. Senate race.. In 2005, Obama purchased a new home in Kenwoood District of Chicago for $1.65 million (less than asking price). With ALL those Student Loans -Where did he get the money for the property? On the same day Rezko's wife, Rita, purchased the adjoining empty lot for full price. The London Times reported that Nadhmi Auchi, an Iraqi-born Billionaire loaned Rezko $3.5 million three weeks before Obama's new home was purchased. Obama met Nadhmi Auchi many times with Rezko.
Now, we have Obama running for President. Valerie Jarrett, was Michele Obama's boss. She is now Obama's chief advisor and he does not make any major decisions without talking to her first. Where was Jarrett born? Ready for this? Shiraz, Iran! Do we see a pattern here? Or am I going crazy?
On May 10, 2008 The Times reported, Robert Malley advisor to Obama was 'sacked' after the press found out he was having regular contacts with 'Hamas', which controls Gaza and is connected with Iran. This past week, buried in the back part of the papers, Iraqi newspapers reported that during Obama's visit to Iraq, he asked their leaders to do nothing about the war until after he is elected, and he will 'Take care of things'.
Oh, and by the way, remember the college roommates that where born in Pakistan? They are in charge of all those 'small' Internet campaign contribution for Obama. Where is that money coming from? The poor and middle class in this country? Or could it be from the Middle East?
Obama supporters criticize G. Gordan Liddy who was convicted of conspiracy, wiretapping, and burglary for his role in the Watergate burglary. Coincidentally, G. Gordon Liddy served five and half years in prison for these charges the same length of time John McCain was a captive in a Hanoi prison cell. G. Gordon Liddy did not bomb anyone. Burglary of an office building is not armed robbery and is not a crime of violence. Burglary of a commercial business is a third degree felony and involves no potential for violence. G. Gordon Liddy???s actions have no comparison to the actions of domestic terrorist Bill Ayers who was linked to bombings of the Capitol and the Pentagon and whose girlfriend along with two other Weather Underground members were killed while making a bomb in New York.
G. Gordon Liddy served his country as an Army artillery officer during the Korean War. He was a distinguished former FBI agent, a former New York Prosecutor who prosecuted Tim Leary, and also was a member of the Fordham Law Review. G. Gordon Liddy wrote articles for the Fordham Law Review during law school. On the other hand, Barack Obama???s vice president teammate Joe Biden borrowed material from the Fordham Law Review and had to repeat his first year law school legal research and writing class at Syracuse University law school due to his plagiarism of a law review article from Fordham Law Review.
There have also been numerous cheating scandals at West Point and Annapolis which has resulted in permanent expulsion of those involved. One could argue that if John McCain broke the honor code he might have had a higher class rank. The military academies treat cheating scandals similar to law enforcement academies. A military officer can order troops into battle and their integrity should be above reproach when they placing their men in harms way. Similarly the testimony of a law enforcement officer can send someone away to prison for thirty years or even result in a death sentence so even a hint of cheating is always fully investigated and vetted and no cheating during academic training can be tolerated. The word and integrity of all federal, state, and local law enforcement officers can not be questioned. The City of Irving Texas recently fired over half of a recent police academy training class because there was organized cheating. So whether in law enforcement or the military cheating can not be tolerated. As President, John McCain will be commander in chief and Sarah Palin can also step into that role and both can say that they were never involved in a cheating incident and their command to go to battle will not be questioned.
Maybe Barack was thinking about Joe when he said that small town rural Americans cling to religion and guns in tough times. It must have been real tough times during his first year of law school that Joe Biden clung to his religion in deciding to use an academic product of his own faith, Fordham Law Review to commit plagiarism. Joe Biden did more than cling to religion, he clung so hard that he ended up taking substantial chunks out of the Fordham Law Review and failed and had to repeat his legal research and writing class as a result.
Vote John McCain!!!!! Ohio is proud of John Glenn and John McCain both fighter pilots who served their country when their country was at war. The Barack Obama campaign is dumb as a doorknob to raise Keating 5 and criticize John Glenn. You just put Ohio in the Red state column for the Republicans. The people of Ohio are proud of John Glenn, a former Marine Corp fighter pilot during World War II. John Glenn was awarded the Congressman Medal of Honor and flew aboard the space shuttle at the age of 77. The Barack Obama campaign should stop criticizing an 87 year old war hero John Glenn by raising the Keating 5 scandal that happened over twenty years ago. For two people who have no military service between them and have never worn the uniform, Barack Obama and Joe Biden have a lot of gaul to obliquely criticize a fellow Democrat and elder statesman and an 87 year old war hero and first man in space John Glenn. It is also pretty stupid to criticize an Ohio native son when Ohio is in play during this election. Does the Barack Obama campaign have to destroy the reputations of four Democratic Senators to lob an ineffectual attack against John McCain. Senator Alan Cranston is dead and can not even defend himself. Vote for John McCain, he respects veterans especially 87 year old fellow fighter pilots like John Glenn.
Vote John McCain!!!!! Vote John McCain!!!!!!

There have been many references to John McCain class rank at Annapolis. John McCain received many demerits which affected his class standing for standing up to upper classmen bullies who harrassed fellow freshman classmates of John McCain.
However, far more importantly, at least John McCain did not break the Annapolis honor code. The Honor code at Annapolis parallels the Air Force Academy Honor Code which state we will not lie, steal, or cheat, nor tolerate among us anyone who does. Cheating scandals have occurred at the Air Force Academy in 1965, 1967, 1972, 1984, 2004 and 2007. In 1965, 1 hundred and nine cadets were expelled from the Air Force Academy for their involvement in cheating. There have also been numerous cheating scandals at West Point and Annapolis which has resulted in permanent expulsion of those involved. One could argue that if John McCain broke the honor code he might have had a higher class rank. The military academies treat cheating scandals similar to law enforcement academies. A military officer can order troops into battle and their integrity should be above reproach when they are placing their men in harms way. Similarly the testimony of a law enforcement officer can send someone away to prison for thirty years or even result in a death sentence so even a hint of cheating is always fully investigated and vetted and no cheating during academic training can be tolerated. The word and integrity of all federal, state, and local law enforcement officers can not be questioned. The City of Irving Texas fired over half of a relatively recent police academy training class because there was organized cheating. So whether in law enforcement or the military cheating can not be tolerated. As President, John McCain will be commander in chief and Sarah Palin can also step into that role and both can say that they were never involved in a cheating incident and their command to go to battle will not be questioned.
Vote John McCain!!!!!!!! Vote John McCain!!!!!!
The re-bubba-can tried to remove Clinton from office for cheating on his wife, but... now they are trying to but one of their own in office, who cheated on his wife.....
They say obama wants to spread the wealth, Palin is already spreading the wealth in alaska, By the way i think some one should look in to the legal aspects of this, It may be a form of buying votes. I know if my governor would give me a couple of thousand of extra dollars a year i would vote for him
Who do you want knowing this know? McCain scored lower than Bush in Education! Took Palin 9 semesters to get a BS in JOURNALISM!
Educational Background:
Barack Obama:
Columbia University - B.A. Political Science with a Specializati on in International Relations.
Harvard - Juris Doctor (J.D.) Magna *** Laude
Joseph Biden:
University of Delaware - B.A. in History and B.A. in Political Science.
Syracuse University College of Law - Juris Doctor (J.D.)
vs.
John McCain:
United States Naval Academy - Class rank: 894 of 899
Sarah Palin:
Hawaii Pacific University - 1 semester
North Idaho College - 2 semesters - general study
University of Idaho - 2 semesters - journalism
Matanuska-Susitna College - 1 semester
University of Idaho - 3 semesters - B.A. in Journalism
Education isn't everything, but this is about the two highest offices in the land as well as our standing in the entire world. You make the call.
you also left off where OBAMA went to school first, before transfering to Columbia.... very good facts you have.... LOL,,,, where did you get them from? you didn't even check the facts before you copied them down as your facts... typical lib... claim your false facts as truths and know no one in the media will correct it for you....
Do you even know what college Obama went to before Columbia? Did you know McCains Dad (an Admiral) had to intercede because they were going to flunk him? Regardless Why would I want a near flunkie for President. Even his own party referred to him as the "edie Haskell" of the senate. No smears, just facts.
Occidential in California.... did you know that... experience vs education, i'll take experience... I guess we know who has NO experience... NOTA... NONE.... ZIP..... OBAMA..... please guide us with your experience... Please OBAMA, read the teleprompter and tell us what to do.... LOL
Well Occidental happens to rank higher than the colleges sarah went to. As for experience one of my bosses early in my career said I'd rather have someone with 2 years of real experience than someone with 1 year of experience 26 times. Obama had never run for President before but he's done a better jof of it than Mccain, Obama made a better choice of not taking Public funding, Obama did a much better job of selecting his Vice President runing mate. When the financial crap hit the fan he was smart enough to know the House of Reps would never take advise from a senator, my god what an ego mccain has. Obama has been on message , the same message, since the beginning..what has mccain done? Everyday he turns more people off with his constant flipping and all those personal attacks. It reminds me of junior debating class...if you don't have a valid argument say anything stupid to distract the audience from the facts. Again Someone with 2 years of good Senate experience is better than someone with 1 year of of mediocre experience 26 times. give it up, take your blinders off, see the truth through the fog...We may not know what Obama will do but we do know what Bush..er..I mean Mccain will do.
Enter Your Comment
Give me one example of where Mccain has lead or commanded a military unit in winning a war! As far as sitting on the tarmax while JFK negotiated with Cuba to be told what to do....McCain really has no experience actually leading and winning a war. The Vietnam war was not won! He did not fight for the USA he got shot down after disobeying a direct order to abort the mission. Oh, I forgot that is the Maverick you Redumbs want.
Your comments don't make sense nor ring true. Obama may not have a lot of experience behind him but look how he has performed for the past 2 years. He is smart every step of the way why would he not be a smart president? He is articulate intelligent and has done a remarkable job of crossing over to the different groups of our country from the young to the old, black white , democrats and republicans respectable republicans I might add. To energizing the youth of our country. When was the last time that happened? We all have one thing in common and that is hope for a better future and we see a chance for that better future in Barack. I am sorry you haven't seen yet but then how could if you close you eyes and ears?
Experience? Fact: NEITHER Obama or McCain has ever sat in the oval office, so where is the experience difference? Following orders is not "experience. So I'll take a well educated man over one that ranked 894 0f 899.
And I'll take the brain. That way no one gets hit by a car, or steals money from the people like in the Keating scandal and Palin's well - every thing.
since you seem well informed, I searched for what McCain majored in, and can't find anything. Can you tell me what he studied?
what part of my post are you disputing? Did he not earn what I posted? Was McCain ranked higher than stated? Does Palin have more education than posted? Tell me where my post is incorrect? I am interested in knowing more.
at least you libs are open minded enough to check the facts about what you watch on tv and read on the far left web sites...
LOL, you're to lazy to check the facts......
Sarah Palin by your standards Jesus is even more of a socialist than Obama :
A rich man came to Jesus one day and asked what he should do to get into heaven. Jesus did not say he should invest, spend, and let the benefits trickle down; he said sell what you have, give the money to the poor, and follow me. Few plainer words have been spoken. And yet, for some reason, the Christian Coalition of America???founded in 1989 in order to ???preserve, protect and defend the Judeo-Christian values that made this the greatest country in history??????proclaimed last year that its top legislative priority would be ???making permanent President Bush's 2001 federal tax cuts.???

Sorry. That was kind of dumb because those are the facts as reported by CNN. She was a salesperson, beauty queen - although relatively plain runner up - a sports reporter and and bad mayor and Gov. who steals. And it took her a while to get a degree from a third-tier school.
Those who can, do well, those who can't do, TEACH! Obama was a professor...
Per Sarah Palin and JOhn Mccain, Jesus is more of a socialist than Obama:

Here's a video in which Obama discusses fiscal responsibility. Anyone who cares about the economy should see it.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5d4a6RNhCUo
On this web page, you can calculate the amount of your TAX RELIEF under Obama's plan. (This tax calculator is for personal income, not for businesses. Remember that if you itemize, your tax cut will be higher than what the calculator shows. However, Obama's new 1040EZ allows people to get credit for some itemizations without having to fill out the long form and schedules.)

The GOP is grasping at straws. They have nothing substantive against Obama, but boy are they good at making up lies. This has been a leading Rove tactic for years, and if America falls for this again we should be ashamed of ourselves. Not to mention the fact that this is all a smokescreen to keep the focus off of the fact that Palin and her Alaska associates are in contempt of court for refusing to testify in the Troopergate hearings. After Nixon and Clinton, Americans are to some extent jaded, but really, would you want a VP who refuses to attend hearings in her own defense, and instructs her employees not to testify? That smells like guilt. It surely doesn't give the impression that she has done no wrong and has nothing to hide.
This year, the GOP offers you an angry old man and a woman who, while personable, is desperately uniformed about national and international issues. Both of them are far right politically. McCain used to be a maverick, but since 2004 he has voted 90% with Bush. McCain's policies are not original or reformist, despite how he has tried to co-opt Obama's popular message of change. Please go to the websites of both of the candidates and read their platforms. Obama's Blueprint for Change has more good ideas than McCain's plan. Compare them yourself. Obama's basic premise is that tax dollars should be spent to make America stronger and to improve the lives and well being of our people. For example, he uses education programs to train a technology workforce, contributing to energy independence, creating jobs and improving the economy. When you read McCain's plan you will find no over-arching design to get America back on track. Instead you'll find more tax cuts for the wealthy and deregulation of the health care industry.
I'm a Republican. Although I embrace some forward-thinking social values, in the past I've rarely voted Democrat. My thinking was that since Republicans grow robust economies, by voting Republican I'd be endorsing a plan that would grow wealth for our nation, and then we would be able to afford social programs. It was a good strategy for a couple decades, but I have to say that the tenure of W. Bush has changed my mind. Not only is there nothing fiscally responsible about today's GOP, the insidious alignment of the party with religious intolerance has really turned me off.
On the other hand, the intelligent luminous thought of Barack Obama has ignited my patriotism. I want a President who puts America first and can get the economy back on track. In my mind, values voting takes a back burner when we are faced with a meltdown of the economy. It's time for a change, a real change. The Republicans have controlled the Presidency for 28 of the past 40 years, but they have fallen down on the job. The Democrats have a stellar candidate this year, and I am voting for Obama.
It occured to me yesterday that McCain/Palin tactics are pretty much the same as those of kids in grade school. If people like someone better than you just start saying nasty things about them, anything spread rumors get all the loosers to agree with you. Put someone down to build yourself up. Why can they not stand on their own and give us an idea of what they have planed to do once voted in. Anything please! McCain's chant is "my friends I can fix that' "Folks I know how to do it" "I know how to fix this my friends". First of all he is not my friend anyone that behaves so poorly and so negative I would not associate with nor would most folks other than the loosers that have an ax to grind. I have long ago lost respect for this guy and never had any for the Pitbull with lipstick.
For the last time to you Republicans stop putting lipstick on a hog.You guys don't even like Mccain so why do you fake it? If he had taken the high road and selected a viable VP candidate he would have won. I'm not saying he's better than Obama but this country is still too immature to realistically elect a black President. Mccain could've attracted enough Democrats and independents to win even with only half of the republican base. Besides they had already voted Mccain in as their candidate, I don't blieve they would allow a black man to take office instead of Mccain. Mccain just blew it. Get over it but don't act like Mccain and Palin are the solution. and if you don't want a black in the oval office just be honest and say so. By the way I've given up trying to keep track of the politically correct phrase for my colored, african american comrades (brothers). I've been called many things in my liftime and gosh, it never did me any harm one way or another, by golly you betcha!
Are you serious? The first real test was how the candidates ran their respective campaigns.. All of that infighting in the GOP camp is a testimony as to how it would be in the administration..What kills me is you have all these poor (YES, you are poor if you do not make more that $50K/yr) people backing McCain.. He doesn't care about you..you will be treated no different from how BUSH has treated you!!! They were in agreement 92% of the time!!! Wake up.. We have had 43 presidents cut from the same mold, take a chance on something new..It's not like this is a life time position. What harm could it do? We (America) are broke and no body in the global community likes us anymore. So what do you have to loose?
Stop listening to ads and see for yourself if you'll save under Obama tax proposal.
