AN ISSUE OF RACE?

Crime, Education, Politics, Terrorism, Violence

Is race an issue or a non issue in the opposition to President Obama’s agenda? The left, the media and the liberals are trying to muzzle any sort of disagreement by pulling the race card. Interestingly, in America, the race card has always been a one way street only and almost always related to the Americans of African ancestry.

If America is the racist country the Carter and the like describe, it is also the only Western Democracy/Republic to have elected a Black as a President. This is indeed a racist country for you, a country where Americans of African ancestry are the wealthiest black people in the entire world, offered with the most opportunities, and displaying an obscene number of ultra rich athletes, comedians, singers, politicians, show hosts, musicians, activists. …Is disagreeing with Obama racism? Does one become racist after having voted for the messiah and suddenly feeling cheated and marching against him? Is the right wing fringe less radical than the left wing fringe (don’t they meet at the fringes?)? Were the blacks who were disagreeing with Bush racists?

Use your words, use linked or searchable facts, make sentences, try to argue…if you can.

    Eric, the only people injecting racism into this discussion are those who are using it as an excuse for Obama’s complete failure so far to accomplish anything of note.

    Further, I can’t think of anything less intelligent than to suggest that supporting Bush but not Obama makes one a racist. Bush was somewhat conservative. Obama is a far left liberal. Does that make any non-white who didn’t support Bush a racist? Where was Jimmy Carter then?

    The President’s father is black and his mother is white, that makes him just like us. President Obama would never have been elected if race were the issue. Grow up people.

    Some Americans hate the fact that a black man is president. Honestly, I never expected this election result to happen in my lifetime. Good for America!

    Jimmy Carter is an honest, upright and intelligent man who was too good for this nation (during his presidency). I highly respect his opinion. If the race issue is not honestly addressed by all parties, then America will never move forward. Maybe a hundred years from now, we will look back at the racists of all colors and laugh at how stupid their stance was on this issue. But I hope it happens sooner than that.

    Eric, Jimmy Carter needs to shut up and go sit on his front porch rocker and enjoy his retirement. The man blunders over and over again, sticking his two cents in where they are not needed or wanted (Middle East issues, most recently). His days of “running” the country are over, time to give up the facade that he is still at the helm in his own mind.

    As for this stupid comment, well, what good has he done by saying this? None on any level. The truth is there will always be some level of racism in EVERY racial group - not just in whites from the South. It’s called statistical probability or reality, if you’re not into stats.

    Now our society has come a long way in ending racism, squelching it down, but it is unrealistic to think it can ever be stamped completely out. No matter how much we would like that, it just isn’t going to happen.

    Mr. Eric, it all comes down to glass half full - glass half empty and the concept of making your own reality. If you constantly choose to believe in the ugliness, the worst, the inhumane - well, guess what? That is exactly what you are going to cultivate. If you choose to look at the glass half full and project that, it will become the reality. I think it’s a very simple choice and I am shocked that a man who is supposed to be highly intelligent cannot see these very simple concepts. Shame on Jimmy Carter. I think perhaps he is blurting out some of his own deep seated racist thoughts .but we should not all have to suffer for that.

    And further, since when does being racist equate to skin color and the location of one’s birth? Jimmy Carter is a white southerner. Shouldn’t he then be the ultimate racist according to Jimmy Carter and his assinine statement?

    “I’m sick and tired of people who say that if you debate and disagree with this administration, somehow you’re not patriotic. We need to stand up and say we’re Americans, and we have the right to debate and disagree with any administration.”

    Maybe you don’t know you are racist. No one writing here will ever admit it even to themselves. I was so glad to hear it from a white president from the south. What Wilson did was like spitting in Prez. Obama’s face. This is the racists way of showing a black man how much they hate him. Their behavior is so obvious. You say it is about policy but even if you strongly agree with someone would you disrespect them like Wilson did? Would you yawn and text during meetings? These racist can not sleep at night knowing a black intelligent man is in charge of their lives and they are going to do everything they can to get rid of the truth that stares at them everyday in the White house, in the newspaper and on television. I am telling you it is killing them. They have to do something to express their hatred less they explode and that is what Joe Wilson did. God has put the truth before them as a Black man who is everything they refuse to believe he can be–intelligent, articulent, compassionate and well-groomed. It is almost like Obama was sent to judge those who claim they are not racist.

    Joe Wilson and the rest you now have to make up other reasons for hating a black person so now it’s Prez. Obama’s policies–Yea right! Oh it is so good what God has done to you Joe Wilson. I love it! You have to sit, listen and obey a black man. Isn’t this the worst nightmare for a racist? To be caught up in history under the administration of a black man.

    Joe Wilson God snatched your hood off on national televison so Prez. Obama could recognize who he was dealing with. You can no longer hide your racism!

    Eric, I know you and the others haven’t slept well for about 10 months now. The only way you will rest is to admit you are a racist and change your life before it is too late.

    It will always be about race to Jimmy Carter. Race relations define his world and all there is about him has been shaped by fear of being perceived to be a racist. The irony is, of course, that as a southerner Jimmy Carter has endured more prejudicial outpouring of vilification, in a more public manner, in print, in the movies, in song, in the media, etc. etc. all of his life, so his reactions against the perception of all southerners as white separatists has defined his life. What is really sad, is that Jimmy reveals (through this episode) that he has bought some of the false accusations, and is now turning them on others.

    It’s always going to be about race, isn’t it? If you want to talk about race. Obama has been and still is associated with some of the most radical people in this country and seems to slip by without a blemish. I think him being a black man has given him more opportunities to push his radical agenda, because many are afraid of being labeled as a racist for opposing him. Whites are now being discriminated against, but that’s ok, I guess. If a white president set in a white rev. Wright’s church for 20 years, listening to him spew hatred for blacks. He would be a racist and would not be running this country. Double Standard…

    If anyone believes there is no racism in this country and that some of the backlash again President Obama isn’t about race then I have a deal for you. Beachfront Property in Nebraska for $50.00 an acre.

    How can anyone listen at a man (Rush Limbaugh) want to see the country falter because he dislikes the President. He may say it’s about policy. Why didn’t he say it about Clinton. He’s mad because his plann\ backfired and they ended up with someone they thought would be easy to beat. Someone they despised more than Hillary. Now he’s throwing tantrums like an overstuffed cry-baby, wanting the man to fail. He does care about the nation; only his warped agenda. And those who follow him know exactly what his and their idiology is.

    It doesn’t stop with Rush but every Joe Wilson who represents those Racist Districts they serve.

    Again, the majority of the American people have elected a black as a President,,,,the majority is not racist…but only 32% of the recently polled agree with oBAMA VS 37 %…THEY VOTED FOR HIM AND BECAME RACIST AFTER DISCOVERING HE WAS BLACK ON INAUGURATION DAY? LOL

  12. eric  •  Sep 26, 2009 @3:58 am

    All the one who agree with me or want to use common sense, like Matt or Happy American…YOU GUYS ARE RACISTS! LOL

  13. eric  •  Sep 26, 2009 @4:01 am

    Fiojsi…many Americans hated Bush…would you say it was racism too? Even when blacks hated him? what did I say…a one way street, right?
    Let say Taylor Swift would have jumped on stage, grapped the microphone from Beyonce and said that Britney deserved the best female video award….how do you think the media, Sharpton, Jackson, NAACp…would have reacted? I rest my case…chew on that…honestly!

  14. eric  •  Sep 26, 2009 @4:03 am

    Sandy…as long as racism would be institutionalized in laws through affirmative action, it will breed entitlement in the receiving hand and resentment in the other…racism in one word.

  15. eric  •  Sep 26, 2009 @4:09 am

    Jason….so right! According to readily available Dept of Justice statistics I often quote and won’t link today, 93% of the murdered black Americans every year are killed by other blacks. Is this racism too? When Latino and black gangs target each other, is it racism? Nope…racism is a one way street!
    I can have Tv shows on red necks and white trash, call a white racist but never the other way around…
    When Sharpton said Obama was not negro enough or said he would like to cut his balls…racism? nope!
    When Bush’s black secretaries or nominees for the supreme court were under scrutiny and called uncle Toms by the congress black caucus…racism? ….nope.

    Even according to black you have good and bad blacks…ask Cosby or Sharpton!

  16. eric  •  Sep 26, 2009 @4:11 am

    K Lamont

    Famous quote in the campaign trail…if she believed in it and still believe in it, why didn’t she say it again after Carter spoke or each time righties are called racists by lefties.

    Also remember that the Clintons are THE ONLY ONE who made Obama’s race an issue during the campaign.

    She is as fake as her New York address or botox implants and hips reduction! lol

    But good try…just try again!

  17. eric  •  Sep 26, 2009 @4:16 am

    Syl
    Shoud we go over what was done to Bush during the past 8 years..Congress even booooed him! He was called all the possible names, and caricatured as animal or devil, or whatever…

    Also, could I make the point that maybe Obama was deforming the truth.
    The next day, language WAS ACTUALLY ADDED to the plan to ensure illegal immigrants will not be able to cash in (show social security card) and suddenly, in the Prez speeches, the total number of uninsured Americans dropped from 47 millions to 30 millions..was Obam counting the uninsured illegals in his enhanced statistics? what has happened to the missing 17 millions?

    Wilson should have tried to be more civil…but he obatained quick results…

    Maybe mr prez should stop twisting facts…his sppeeches are all debunked the next day…no sure what he smokes but should stop…

  18. eric  •  Sep 26, 2009 @4:18 am

    And Patriotism and Dissent are becoming Racism! Thank you former President Carter for stirring the pot! What is it? As of end of September, 3 percents of the 16 million Blacks who voted for Obama disagree with him ..that is a lot of racism right there! And was it racism when 16 million blacks voted against a white old guy, or disagreed with the Bush administration, or prevented white voters from entering a polling station (DOJ is investigating why Eric Holder dismissed the charges against the videotaped “Black Panthers”!). What about Rev Wright, or the Clintons bringing the only racial allegations agains Obama during the primaries…funny how racism goes one way only! How convenient. What would have happened at the MTV awards if the white country singer had taken the mike off Beyonce’s hands claiming that Britney deserved the title better?

  19. eric  •  Sep 26, 2009 @4:19 am

    And his affirmative action czar that just said that affirmative action was just serving white women…racism?

  20. eric  •  Sep 26, 2009 @4:20 am

    And the 17 million uninsured missing in his 9/9/09 speech: “There are now more than thirty million American citizens who cannot get coverage.” Up to September, we were hammered with the 47 million uninsured Americans. Now 30 millions? Were the 17 millions now missing not Americans, like illegals? Or by some mysterious process, did these people find some kind of insurance, another miracle by the administration that creates or save? On July 23, he said, “This is not just about the 47 million Americans who don’t have any health insurance at all…”

  21. eric  •  Sep 26, 2009 @4:20 am

    On the cost of his Healthcare revamping: “I will not sign a plan that adds one dime to our deficits either now or in the future. Period.” I guess his plan “will create or save” dollars and won’t increase the deficit…like the jobs and the economy…We have created or saved one million jobs blah blah…safe and final but impossible to prove one way or the other.

    true or lie?

  22. eric  •  Sep 26, 2009 @4:20 am

    On his healthcare plan: He used to hammer around: “I keep on saying this but somehow folks aren’t listening: If you like your health-care plan, you keep your health-care plan. Nobody is going to force you to leave your health-care plan,” Sept 10, that has become “Nothing in this plan will require you or your employer to change the coverage or the doctor you have. Let me repeat this: Nothing in our plan requires you to change what you have.” The word REQUIRE is important because it says that the Government intent is not to have your plan changed –a requirement from the top- but there is not much they can do to prevent it from happening.

    true or lie?

  23. eric  •  Sep 26, 2009 @4:21 am

    On rapper Kanye West’s way he treated 19 year old white country singer Taylor Swift at some music event: “He’s a jackass,” . Realizing he might have made a mistake being so candid, he tried to get his comment back and is on record saying. “Come on guys, cut the president some slack. I’ve got a lot of other stuff on my plate.”.
    ?

    oooops….lol
    true or lie

  24. eric  •  Sep 26, 2009 @4:23 am

    This should enlighten you…and he knows what he is talking about….

    On races, last year while campaigning against Rev Wright-Jackson-Sharpton-WEB Du Bois: “That anger may not get expressed in public, in front of white co-workers or white friends. But it does find voice in the barbershop or around the kitchen table. At times, that anger is exploited by politicians, to gin up votes along racial lines, or to make up for a politician’s own failings.” No kidding? “

    You remember his speech on race, correct?

  25. eric  •  Sep 26, 2009 @4:25 am

    Jimmy Carter is so gone…was he ever here anyways?

  26. eric  •  Sep 26, 2009 @4:26 am

    Obama,…he was black before he was President, he said…what on earth does it mean?

  27. eric  •  Sep 26, 2009 @4:32 am

    Charles…stop focusing on the right fringe and listen to the voice of the majority…Obama was full of empty promises and has showe cotinuous poor judgement. Congress is down the tube…people are fed up and the Reps and independant who gave Obama a chance are having buyer’s remorse along with libs, Dems and blacks….

    Jackson, Sharpton, Wright, all in the same bag…equivalent of our right wing…Obama just shut them up because they made him look bad with “brothers” in color and “civil right activists. bashing him. He is a Sharpton or a Jackson, or a Wright in a suit with a diploma from Columbia. He started his career milking the gov or cities millions of dollars for race oriented activism…

    He made race is pre-presidential life and the Gates incident revealed him for what he is to many who believed in his change and hope BS….

  28. eric  •  Sep 26, 2009 @4:36 am

    Charles…Nebraska? I might be able to afford that when I retire at 67…according to my last social security statement, that is when I will cash in the most…but not enough for California….so keep me in mind! …and stop listening to Rusnh…I stopped paying attention to Sharpton or Jackson a long time ago and will pay attention to Obama when he will stop distorting facts and when he will start talking to me, the guy sitting in front of him, instead of talking to hios teleprompter of the left, tleprompter of the right, left, right….gee…

    What was that crap about his orator skills during the campaign?
    When he does not have them, it is all about hemmm, heuuu, mmmmm…between each words.

    So done!

  29. eric  •  Sep 26, 2009 @4:39 am

    Has King’s dream come true? On the one hand, for almost forty years, Marin Luther King’s legacy has been affirmative action, the legalization of racial discrimination. So much for the dream and “the force of the character and not the color of the skin”. Poor MLK must be turning in his tomb with his name reduced to some Burger King’s meal appellation and his dream totally perverted with the full support of the people he stood for. On the other hand, the first “black” president will take the oath tomorrow, something Martin Luther King has always dreamed of, an achievement showing that race indeed can be an opportunity. But for whom? Race still being an issue for the world’s media and for the majority on the left that have forever cashed on the “victimization” of the minorities (money for special programs, and votes), our new president has become a symbolic figure, not of “multi-racialism” but of African American achievement. For some reason, Barrack Obama is an African American, a black president. Not half black of half white, just hundred percent black. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton (currently unemployed!) might disagree and have always claimed loudly that Obama was not black enough, nor was he African American enough to serve the black cause (of entitlement and self victimization?). So for now, let us enjoy our first elitist “black” president that would have made MLK proud. But remember that if and when he does not meet the high expectations (political, racial or economic) put on his shoulders by voters who bought his rhetoric of changes, he is going to be dropped like an old sock and will most likely become the first half white US president

  30. eric  •  Sep 26, 2009 @4:44 am

    I think the one below was posted here around September 08….

    Barack who?

    We have learned more about Sarah Pailin in a couple of weeks than about Obama in years and despite the supposed scrutiny typical of such a high profile campaign, I did not get all the answers I wanted and I am still wondering who is Senator Obama. Sure, I could use his own biographies to figure out what he is made of, but talk about possible bias and re-written history! He is a politician and I have to assume that as a good and successful politician, he is good at distorting reality and truth to fit his needs.

    Also, the mainstream media is obviously so much in love with the phenomenon that investigative journalism has been turned into a thing of the past, replaced by shameless adulation and promotion of the new “Messiah”.

    So here I am, a couple of weeks before the elections, still wondering who on earth Barack Obama really is and resorting to known facts, pretty safe allegations and other fact based hypothesis to frame the character of the guy that does not want to be judged by his race while playing all the cards available, race included. That is why he has maybe escaped the traditional treatment of traditional politicians. To question Obama, criticize him, and wonder about his past actions or associations, one must be a racist, right? After all, isn’t he “the one we have been waiting for?” So maybe before asking such disturbing and troubling things, just maybe, one should ask himself if it is only because Obama is black.

    So I did….Eric, is it because Obama is Black? And I honestly replied to myself: nope!

    It is because Obama passes for a saint, a straight arrow, a poor for the poor, a multicultural icon because he is multicultural and other bull I forgot. Also because he is full of himself and tries to convey that image of an anti-Washington knight in a white robe and on a white stallion. Finally it is because of race indeed, because only Democrats and Black civil right activists can talk about him, question affirmative action or call him the N words, unpunished. When other people question him, the outrage and the immediate sentence come: Racist. And I don’t want to be called a racist…so I won’t ask, right? Don’t ask, don’t tell…ask, deny!

    It was the same thing when I questioned Hillary: male chauvinist pig! What about you guys: anti white geriatrics! I just want him known for what he is because he is a corrupt politician too! Just a new gifted one. Vote him in, but vote him knowing who he is and who’s puppet he is! Who has his hand all the way up, make him talk and move…Morgan, Countrywide, Freddie, Fanny, Goldman, Lawyers, Universities, Healthcare, old Washingtonites….

    The few blogs I animated or visited lead me to look up some of the claims made by supporters of both parties. I started at Wikipedia and pulled the string, Goggling or Yahooing around, names and places, allegations and innuendos.

    Here is what I found that could be interesting to ask the candidate of change with the audacity of hope and some fullness of himself (“I am the one we have been waiting for” and “We I am”)

    Obama: poor, rich or the fruit on entitlement and affirmative action?

    He attended the Occidental college in Los Angeles for two years (a small private coeducational liberal arts college, 6% African Americans, Tuitions not available online), Columbia (one year?, $32,000 a year) and Harvard from 1988 to 1991 ($55,000 a year), Ivy league places of higher education by excellence. How did he pay his way through that? Loans and grants? One needs money to borrow money…the mortgage debacle has proven it!)

    Obama: Poor for the poor? Rich backed up by the rich … for the poor? (really?) As corrupt as his DC peers? (maybe more?)

    His top ten donors by industry include lawyers and law firms (his peers), securities and investment (his historical piggy bank), Business services, Real Estate (a house is a right, not a privilege one must work his buns off for and pay for), Universities (Higher education is a right, not a privilege one must work his buns off for and pay for) and Health professional (Health care is a right not a responsibility). Interestingly also, is the fact that for a man of change that wants to separate himself from the business as usual his peers practice in DC, he has been cashing in big from various famous institutions such as Goldman Sachs, City Group, JP Morgan & Chase, Lehman Brothers, and Morgan Stanley. Do some of these names ring a bell/ What about Fanny Mae and Freddie Mac? In three years in the Senate, Barack ended up being the top senator benefiting from the two financial institutions largess. I quote: ‘A review of Federal Election Commission records back to 1989 reveals Obama in his three complete years in the Senate is the second largest recipient of Freddie Mac and Fannie Mae campaign contributions, behind only Sen. Christopher Dodd, D-Conn., the powerful chairman of the Senate banking committee. Dodd was first elected to the Senate in 1980.”

    Obama: a bright young guy or a political back-alley smart cat?

    I quote: “2008 boosted Obama into the position of the most successful presidential fundraiser ever, in addition to this election’s presumptive Democratic nominee…In November he’ll face Republican John McCain, who has indicated he’ll accept public financing in the general election, while Obama has opted out of the system. He’s the first major-party candidate since the system was created to decline taxpayers’ money for the general election.”

    Since it has started, despite the FACT that his top contributors are big corporations, legend had it that small Internet donors made the bulk of the monies…that is exactly how many corporations including Freddie and Fanny have paid Obama….through small contributions from their employees! Genial!

    Also remember that Freddie and Fanny were created by the Congressional Democrats and President Clinton (– known as government-sponsored entities or GSEs –) to make mortgages available to more people, even people who couldn’t afford them! Yes….the same companies that McCain wanted to regulate and that Obama –that one- voted to support. Remember that –I quote- “Instead, Democrats in Congress have sought to preserve the quasi-governmental status of the mortgage giants, seeing Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac as places to locate former top Democratic Party operatives, where they have earned millions in compensation, despite a continuing series of financial Enron-like scandals.”

    Freddie and Fanny his big small donors!

    Obama: a man of change…advised and guided by the same old, same old guys he criticize?

    For a man of change targeting every day the way the old corrupt men and women do business in Washington, it is interesting to note that Barack has just hired these same men and woman he attacks to “groom” him, advise him and run his campaign.

    Biden is one, of course, part of the very old Washingtonites, part of the problems Obama decries. Biden is such an old icon of D.C that each time Obama attacks McCain on how long he has served, not done anything, perpetuating the same culture of corruption, yada yada…I think of Biden, believe he is talking about his Veep.

    Rubin is another interesting fellow! Robert Rubin, is a former Clinton Treasury Secretary who has been touted as a possible appointee to a cabinet post for Senator Obama. Rubin is one of Obama’s economic advisers. Under Clinton, he was the architect of the law that was promoted and passed to kill the regulations put in place on the financial institutions after the great depression (recently Bill Clinton, in a TV interview confessed that he was not so proud of that one). After that he went to support Enron and to work for Citigroup (Obama’s big donor) for $40 million a year to “advise on strategy.”

    Paul Volker is another one. He was the financial economist for the Chase Manhattan bank until he joined the Treasury Department in 62. From 1969 to 1974 Mr. Volcker served as under-secretary of the treasury for international monetary affairs and his best achievement was his critical role in the collapse of the Bretton Woods System thanks to his decisions to drop the Gold Convertibility of the US dollar. Logically, after such a good move, he ended up Chairman of the Federal Reserve under Carter in 72. Under Reagan, he is credited for limiting the stagnation of the economy by increasing the inflation, thus leading the country to the serious recession of the early 1980s, which provided for the highest unemployment levels since the Great Depression. He is a member of the G30, an international group of financiers and supports Obama.

    James A. Johnson was in charge of digging out a suitable Vice President for Obama…Old time Democrat and presidential campaign operative (Mondale, Kerry), he naturally ended up helping out. But Johnson had some embarrassing corpses in his closet, and once exposed, was dumped by an Obama known for quickly severing gangrenous limbs for the safeguard of his message of change and integrity. Johnson got huge freebees from Countrywide (rings another bell?). He is also a board member of KBhome (interesting….they build homes!) and Golden Sachs (rings a bell?). From 85 to 90, he was a director at Lehman Brothers (rings a bell). From 1990 to 1998, he served as Johnson was chairman and chief executive officer of Fanny Mae (91-97), the quasi-public gig setup by leftists utopian and sponsored by greedy financial institutions organization to turn home ownership into a universal right, money or not, good credit or not!

    Franklin D. Raines basically took over from Johnson’s job at Fanny May and cashed in the same way selling utopia to suburbia. “The first black man to head a Fortune 500 company.” Has been in and out of Fannie Mae from 91 to 99 were he finally resumed his position as a CEO. In 2004, he took an early retirement and he is still investigated by the Feds for “alleged’ accounting frauds such as setting up gimmicks to increase his bonuses (total: $50 million). He also got $3 million in favorable loans from Countrywide. Obama denies he is an advisor but it was reported twice in the Washington Post that he was without any denial by his campaign (July 16th and August 27th).

    Obama: tell me who your friends are and I will tell you who you are!

    Reverend Wright: Okay. Obama attended his sermons for 28 years, got married by the man, got his children baptized by him too. He sat there for hours but never realized what kind of Anti-American and black supremacist racist things were going on there. It took some talk radio shows to wake the Messiah up to the realities of the United Church of Christ! (“It is not the Wright I knew!”)

    Paul Ayers: Ayers was one of these pathetic anarchists of the 1970ies. Lived underground, planted bombs, believing he was something else than an idiot. Anyways…Obama and Ayers both lived in the same hood for a while; both worked on political reforms (education) and served on the board of an anti-poverty group committees. Both often had lunch together, Ayers hosted a party for Barack’s first run to Senate, Close relationship? maybe not but one can argue that he maintained a working relationship with a known shady character. You judge, keeping in mind what would have happened to McCain if he had met once the Unabomber?. (“It is not the Ayers I knew!”)

    James Johnson: see above (“It is not the Johnson I knew!”)

    Raines: see above (“It is not the Raines I knew!”)

    Tony Rezko: Rezko is a typical American fundraiser, corrupted to the bone, he corrupts everything he touches, He is currently in jail and about to spill the bean about his dirty financial deals with Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich . He has helped make Obama and was his first contributor (Wikipedia: “The first ever political contributions to Obama were $300 from a lawyer, a $5,000 loan from a car dealer, and $2,000 from two food companies owned by Rezko.).In 19997, Obama helped Rezko get more than $14 million in taxpayer funds. From 2003, Rezko raised $14 million for Obama’s U.S. Senate campaign. He threw parties, raised money and Obama has acknowledged that about $250,000 in current campaign contributions came from Rezko. In 2005 Rezko’s wife and Obama purchased adjoining properties from the same sellers in the Kenwood District of Chicago. Obama’s had a house on it and he paid $1.65 million ($300,000 below the asking price!) (“It is not the Tony I knew!”)

    The extreme left fringe of his party: Obama is mostly scary for the crazy extreme leftist minority groups he appeals to. He catered to them (anti war, global warming stances, pro green, anti-rich….) but never tried to rein them in when they went on a violent rampage to disrupt the Republican conventions. Cars were burnt, shops looted, delegates beat up, “conventioneers” all ages violently extracted from their buses, denied access to the convention, etc…Do you remember Obama calling his red storm troopers back, or criticizing them?

    ACORN “The country’s largest grassroots organization working for the empowerment of low and moderate income people”: The old friends. ACORN has endorsed Barack for president. Obama was forced into disclosing that he has paid ACORN $800,000 to register new voters. Interestingly, in his FEC disclosure, the payments were hidden as payments to a front group called Citizen Services Inc. for “advance work.”). Furthermore, Obama was the executive director of ACORN’s voter-registration branch in 1992 and he lead the voter registration program that helped elect Carol Moseley-Braun to the Senate that year. In 1993, Obama sued the state of Illinois for ACORN to implement the federal “Motor Voter” law, which the GOP governor of the time refused to implement because it would lead to voter’s fraud.

    ACORN is also dedicated to democracy and a universal right to vote for everybody and everything, illegals, dead people and cartoon characters included. The organization is under investigation for nationwide voter’s fraud allegations and one guy came forward stating he registered 72 times for cash and cigarettes….Democracy in action people!

    So what will you ask? Well, it is sort of disturbing that all these shady and corrupt characters, businesses, banks or groups, have made or are making Obama’s entourage. They are all making the news today, or have in the past and not for good deeds. What would that tell you about Obama’s judgment? You tell me. I think it is disturbing and I think we deserve clear answers and facts. Actually, and it is true, with such known even remote associations, I could not even apply for the Green card or the citizenship. But he can be your next Prez!

    Obama: the ultimate politician: a wind cone blowing with the wind!

    Who is Obama? A civil right lawyer for the lawyers, a taxpayer’s money pumping machine for special interest groups, an Illinois mobster groomed by the crooks for the crooks, the left wing socialist nut that appealed to the fringes of his party during the primaries, or the Middle Class conscious middle of the road social-conservative he has become since he won the nomination? He can certainly not pay everybody back. How is he going to be if or when he wins?

    Obama who?

    So go ahead….deny, deny, deny and believe that the new Messiah is innocent of all charges and has not done anything wrong, directly or by association. Claim that all his long term dark religious, political or lobby associations are not showing poor judgment and political opportunism but are merely accidents, glitches of his life. Believe if you want that he is by the poor and for the poor and that he will fix all the ills of the universe. Everything I talked to is public information and you just have to Google Obama + a name or a scandal to find tons of data, most of it from legit sources. Pull a string and it will lead you to all these things I have talked about. He might be your next President, so make the effort to go over the nicely polished and carefully crafted image and at least, try to debunk my claims. I Dare you!

    The way I see him he is the fruit of affirmative action (but he somehow wants to reclaim the American dream according to his book when is the living proof the dream is still here and well!) He went through expensive college (note that Columbia still refuses to this day to release his records when we know everything about McCain in Annapolis!). He became a “civil right” lawyer, the attack dog fused by law firms or “civil right” organizations to milk the system, enforce social engineering, promote political and social correctness, make tons of money for entitlement programs based on taxpayer’s money. Groomed and trained in Illinois, synonym of corruption, he was made Senator with Rezko’s money and Ayers endorsement. Paid by financial institution, mortgage industry, Universities and health care lobbies, he has surrendered himself with the same exact people he runs his campaign criticizing: shady characters, lawyers, former CEOs of financial groups, mortgage institutions or other special lobbies and old politicians that have been there forever, some known for ruining the country a couple of time. Ultimate sleek political machine, he rebounds each time he his attacked, quickly severs exposed connections to crooks, and comes back all well dressed and well spoken telling us what we want to hear but riding the wave of the same people and special interests that are harming this country, and us.

    Should we think of him as a polished and Harvard trained Sharpton or Jackson. Maybe! Look at his life, his achievements, his “civil right’ crusades, his goals. Is he innocent, so different from the Washingtonian political machine he belongs to. No!

    No past but a big future…You have been warned! So now, just go ahead with your social experiment, blindfolded and naïve. Vote Barack! Vote Goldman Sachs, Lehmans bro, Countrywide, Fanny and Freddie…vote corrupt CEOs and failed politicians in office. We need more milking of the few that paid taxes and more wealth redistribution and entitlements (“rights”) toward the majority of the American that believe that the government should provide them with everything.What on earth has happened to “Don’t ask yourself what the government can do for you, yada, yada…” and “I have a dream that one day my children would be recognized for the force of their character and not the color of yada, yada…”. Obama is all about the color and what the government –taxpayers- should do for you. So go ahead freeloaders, the majority! Vote Obama….but always remember that politicians like entitlement programs are voted in by the majority but paid by the few. We hold the strings to the money. Come and get more of my, just try!

    I also wrote that:

    Voting for race instead of ideas?

    There is a question going around in the news regarding a possible deep laying racism in white people. Basically, the media are asking themselves if white America is ready to elect a black president in 2008 and if many who are claiming support for Obama are actually unconsciously kidding themselves and will eventually cast a “white” vote when ballot time will come.

    The question is fair because indeed, racism and prejudice affect the way some people vote. Take a look at the African American community to illustrate my propos: it seems like as of today, about 90% of the African American voters polled will vote for Obama. Just remember the democratic primaries and it is the percentage that the black candidate has already obtained in many states…Is Racism preventing African Americans from voting for a lady in a Mao suit or an “old wrinkled white man” and is racism, above ideology, politics and agenda, steering so many toward a black only vote? Some high level black conservative have strangely enough already announced that they will support Obama against logics and political convictions….Again, is race a factor? At least, to stand up for the “Caucasian” side, I can make a case that racism is lesser there because a bigger percentile of White will vote for Obama compared to the percentage of blacks that will vote for a McCain. So here is the question again: is race a factor? Will African Americans vote for the color of a skin or for the force of a character? Will guilt ridden white voters vote for the color of a skin or the force of a character? Will race be the decisive factor?

    Why is America so obsessed with labels that it cannot go beyond the many prejudice and stereotyping of its self induced tabloid culture of diversity? Lieberman “Jewiness” was an issue when he ran for VP, and Romney’s “Mormonism” was also an issue. Add the sex of Billay and the race of Obama, the age of McCain and the “pastority” of Huckabee. Sharpton a moron, Gore a nerd that invented the Internet and Bill Clinton a perv. What is it with the obsession Americans have for labels? Maybe we should let People magazine vote for us….and MAYBE Paris Hilton should be a VP. After all, my governor is a celebrity from Hollywood and look at the good job he has done! (Sarcasm!)Tell you what….a confession….listen carefully and don’t repeat it because it is sort of embarrassing …”I have known forever that Hillary was female, Obama black, Romney Mormon and McCain white…”! Didn’t you notice too?

    Now let’s get back to facts, agenda, platforms, ideas, you now, further behind the picture or the video, where it hurts your brain when you use it trying to figure out how bad you are going to get screwed next year depending on who will move to DC!

    And before bashing me, just remember the wise words of somebody who knew better and stated that if it has to be about something, sex should be it:

    “I am not holier than thou. I am not perfect by any means. But there are events in life that you learn from, and which remind you what this is really all about.” John Edwards from a speech on October 29, 2007

    and that…sorry…

    Political correctness has become such a “natural” part of our American life that one cannot oppose Billary’s candidacy without being tagged as a male chauvinist misogynist pig. In the same way, saying one does not support Obama is racist. Here is a question for you all, from the far left to the far right, Jerry excluded: should we just vote for Billary because she is the first woman ever to run for President? Should we only vote for Obama because it is about time we have a black President to make up for slavery, segregation, lack of reparation, profiling, etc, etc…? The danger of being so much in tune with our feelings, instead of our brain, is that we react emotionally to issues and not with logics. One should not vote for his party, or his guy, a gender, a race or a religion but for ideas, leadership, agenda, experience…anything but the looks, in pants or Mao suit. Political correctness is preventing the exchange of ideas and a healthy debate. Lawsuits and overstretched so-called “Hate crime” laws are daily muzzling freedom of speech as it was intended. Remember that Politically correct speech does not need to be protected by the constitution. The first amendment was written to protect “insensitive” speech….such as mine

    And if you disagree with me, it is because yuo are all anti French racists!
    Racist!
    Racist!
    Racist!

    Eric, the people who are most defensive about being called racist are indeed racist. Why else could you explain your constant defense? Have you noticed that the white folks kept Timothy Geithner (white man) but they dumped Van Jones (black man)? Isn’t that a racaist act or behavior? Why didn’t the conservatives go after Giethner with the same passion that they went after Van Jones?
