To Barack Hussein Obama,

The New York Times carried a story on Saturday, October 4, 2008, that proved You had a significantly closer relationship with Bill Ayers than what you Previously admitted. While the issue of your relationship is of concern, the Greater concern is that you lied to America about it.

The Chicago Sun reported on May 8, 2008, that FBI records showed that you had a significantly closer relationship with Tony Rezko than what you previously

admitted. In the interview, you said that you only saw Mr. Rezko a couple of times a year. The FBI files showed that you saw him weekly. While the issue of

your relationship is of concern, the greater concern is that you lied to America about it.

Your speech in Philadelphia on March 18, 2008, about 'race' contradicted your statement to Anderson Cooper on March 14 when you said that you never Heard Reverend Wright make his negative statements about white America. While your attendance at Trinity Church for 20 years is of concern, the Greater concern is that you lied to America on March 14.

In your 1st debate with John McCain, you said that you never said that you would meet with the leaders of Cuba, Venezuela, Iran, and North Korea without 'preparations' at lower levels ... Joe Biden repeated your words in his debate with Sarah Palin ... While the video tape from your debate last February clearly shows that you answered 'I would' to the question of meeting with those leaders within 12 months without 'any' preconditions. While your judgement about meeting with enemies of the USA without Pre-conditions is of concern, the greater concern is that you lied to America in the debate with McCain.

On July 14, 2008, you said that you always knew that the surge would work while the video tapes of you from more than a year ago show that you stated that the surge would not work. While your judgement about military strategy as a potential commander-in-chief is of concern, the greater concern is that you lied to America on July 14.

You now claim that your reason for voting against funding for the troops was because the bill did not include a time line for withdrawal, while the video tapes of you from more than a year ago show that you voted against additional funding because you wanted our troops to be removed immediately... Not in 16 months after the 2008 election as you now claim. While your judgement about removing our troops unilaterally in 2007 is of concern, the Greater concern is that you lied to America about your previous position.

You claim to have a record of working with Republicans while the record Shows that the only bill that you sponsored with a Republican was with Chuck Lugar ... And it failed. The record shows that you vote 97% in concert with the Democrat party and that you have the most liberal voting record in the Senate. You joined Republicans only 13% of the time in your votes and those 13% were only after agreement from the Democrat party. While it is of concern that you fail to include conservatives in your actions and that you are such a liberal, the greater concern is that you distorted the truth.

In the primary debates of last February, 2008, you claimed to have talked with a 'Captain' of a platoon in Afghanistan 'the other day' when in fact you had a discussion in 2003 with a Lieutenant who had just been deployed to Afghanista n . You lied in that debate.

In your debates last spring, you claimed to have been a 'professor of Constitutional law' when in fact you have never been a professor of Constitutional law. In this last debate, you were careful to say that you 'taught a law class' and never mentioned being a 'professor of Constitutional law.' You lied last spring.

You and Joe Biden both claimed that John McCain voted against additional funding for our troops when the actual records show the opposite. You distorted the truth.

You and Joe Biden claim that John McCain voted against funding for alternate energy sources 20 times when the record shows that John McCain specifically voted against funding for bio fuels, especially corn ... and he was right .... corn is too expensive at producing ethanol, and using corn to make ethanol increased the price of corn from $2 a bushel to $6 a bushel for food. You distorted the truth.

You and Joe Biden claim that John McCain voted like both of you for a tax increase on those making as little as $42,000 per year while the voting record clearly shows that John McCain did not vote as you and Joe Biden. You lied to America .

You and Joe Biden claim that John McCain voted with George W. Bush 90% of the time when you know that Democrats also vote 90% of the time with the President (including Joe Biden) because the vast majority of the votes are procedural. You are one of the few who has not voted 90% of the time with the president because you have been missing from the Senate since the day you got elected. While your absence from your job in the Senate is of concern, the greater concern is that you spin the facts.

You did not take an active role in the rescue plan. You claimed that the Senate did not need you while the real reason that you abstained was because of your close relationships with the executives of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Countrywide, and Acorn ... who all helped cause the f inancial problems of today ... and they all made major contributions to your campaign. While your relationship with these executives and your protection of them for your brief 3 years in the Senate (along with Barney Frank, Chuck Schumer, Maxine Waters, and Chris Dodd) is of concern, the greater concern is that you are being deceitful.

You forgot to mention that you personally represented Tony Rezko and Acorn. Tony Rezko, an Arab and close friend to you, was convicted of fraud in Chicago real estate transactions that bilked millions of tax dollars from the Illinois government for renovation projects that you sponsored as a state senator ... and Acorn has been convicted of voter fraud, real estate sub prime loan intimidation, and illegal campaign contributions. Tony Rezko has contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars to your political campaigns. You personally used your political positions to steer money to both Tony Rezko and Acorn and you used Acorn to register thousands of phony voters for Democrats and you. While your relationships with Rezko and Acorn are of concern, the greater concern is that you omitted important facts about your relationships with them to America .

During your campaign, you said: 'typical white person.' 'They cling to their guns and religion.' 'They will say that I am black.' You played the race Card. You tried to label any criticism about you as racist. You divide America .

You claim that you will reduce taxes for 95% of America , but you forgot to tell America that those reductions are after you remove the Bush tax Reductions. You have requested close to $1 billion in earmarks and several million for Acorn. Your social programs will cost America $1 trillion per year and you claim that a reduction in military spending ($100 billion for Iraq ) can pay for it. While your economic plan of adding 30% to the size of our federal government is of concern, the greater concern is that you are deceiving America .

The drain to America 's economy by foreign supplied oil is $700 billion per year (5% of GDP) while the war in Iraq is $100 billion (less than 1% of GDP). You voted against any increases to oil exploration for the last 3 years and any expansion of nuclear facilities. Yet today, you say that you have always been for more oil and more nuclear. You are lying to America .

Mr. Obama, you claimed that you 'changed' your mind about public financing for your campaign because of the money spent by Republican PACs in 2004. The truth is that the Democrat PACs in 2004, 2006, and 2008 spent twice as much as the Republican PACs (especially George Soros and MoveOn.org). You are lying to America .

Mr. Obama, you have done nothing to stop the actions of the teachers union and college professors in the USA . They eliminated religion from our history. They teach pro gay agendas and discuss sex with students as young as first grade. They bring their personal politics into the classrooms. They disparage conservatives. They brainwash our children. They are in it for themselves ..... not America . Are you reluctant to condemn their actions because teachers/professors and the NEA contribute 25% of all money donated to Democrats and none to Republicans? You are deceiving America .

Oh, Mr. Obama, Teddy Roosevelt said about a hundred years ago that we Americans should first look at the character of our leaders before anything else.

Your character looks horrible. While you make good speeches, motivating speeches, your character does not match your rhetoric. You talk the talk, but do not walk the walk.

1. You lied to America . You lied many times. You distorted facts. You parsed your answers like a lawyer.

2. You distorted the record of John McCain in your words and in your advertisements.

3. You had associations with some very bad people for your personal political gains and then lied about those associations.

4. You divide America about race and about class.

Now let me compare your record of lies, distortions, race baiting, and associations to John McCain: War hero. Annapolis graduate with 'Country first.' Operational leadership experience like all 43 previously elected presidents of the USA as a Navy officer for 22 years. 26 years in the Senate. Straight talk. Maverick. 54% of the time participated on bills with Democrats. Never asked for an earmark. The only blemish on his record is his part in the Keating 5 debacle about 25 years ago.

Mr. Obama, at Harvard Law School, you learned that the end does not justify the means. You learned that perjury, false witness, dishonesty, distortion of truth are never tolerated. Yet, your dishonesty is overwhelming. Your dishonesty is tremendously greater than the dishonesty that caused the impeachment and disbarment of Bill Clinton. Your dishonesty is tremendously greater than the dishonesty of Scooter Libby. You should be ashamed.

Mr. Obama, it is time for us Americans to put aside our differences on political issues and vote against you because of your dishonest character. It is time for all of us Americans to put aside our political issues and vote for America first. It is time for America to vote for honesty.

Any people who vote for you after understanding that you are dishonest should be ashamed of themselves for making their personal political issues more important than character. Would these same people vote for the anti-Christ if the anti-Christ promised them riches? Would they make a golden calf while Moses was up the mountain? Would they hire someone for a job if that someone lied in an interview? Of course not. So why do some of these people justify their votes for you even though they know you are dishonest? Why do they excuse your dishonesty? Because some of these people are frightened about the future, the economy, and their financial security .... and you are preying on their fears with empty promises ... and because some (especially our young people) are consumed by your wonderful style and promises for 'change' like the Germans who voted for Adolf Hitler in 1932. The greed/envy by Germans in 1932 kept them from recognizing Hitler for who he was. They loved his style. Greed and envy are keeping many Americans from recognizing you ... your style has camouflaged your dishonesty .... but many of us see you for who you really are ... and we will not stop exposing who you are every day, forever if it is necessary.

Mr. Obama, you are dishonest. Anyone who votes for you is enabling dishonesty.

Mr. Obama , America cannot trust that you will put America first in your decisions about the future.

Mr. Obama, you are not the 'change' that America deserves. We cannot trust you.

Mr. Obama, You are not ready and not fit to be commander-in-chief.

Mr. Obama, John McCain does not have as much money as your campaign to refute all of your false statements. And for whatever reasons, the mainstream media will not give adequate coverage or research about your lies, distortions, word parsing, bad associations, race baiting, lack of operational leadership experience, and generally dishonest character. The media is diverting our attention from your relationships and ignoring the fact that you lied about those relationships. The fact that you lied is much more important than the relationships themselves .... just like with Bill Clinton and Richard Nixon ... Monica Lewinski and Watergate were not nearly as bad as the fact that those men lied about the events ... false witness ... perjury ... your relationships and bad judgements are bad on their own .... but your lies are even worse.

Therefore, by copy of this memo, all who read this memo are asked to send it to everyone else in America before it is too late. We need to do the job that the media will not do. We need to expose your dishonesty so that every person in America understands who you really are before election day.

Mr. Obama, in a democracy, we get what we deserve. And God help America if we deserve you.

That's why I say nobody represents me since the conservatives have pretty much abandoned their base.

I definitely take each issue and look at them separately. For example, the liberal side of me would like for all (legal) Americans to have some kind of health insurance but the businesswoman in me wonders how we could handle the management and possible fraud.

I WILL check out those threads in here. It is a large site, so it can be hard to find exactly what I need -- or even know what it is I should be thinking about. I am already familiar with many things pre- and post-op (the doctor's office gave me a link to a website that goes through many of the details about the procedure), but hearing from others is always better in my book. They are the ones experiencing it, so they can shed a whole nuther light on the matter.

Thanks for directing me to those areas!

You're welcome! Someone did the same for me so I'm just passing it along! Go to Forums/FAQs

That's MY short-term goal too!! 'Cept I don't have double D's -- single D's here (but they were once nice, perky C's :cursing:).

Ahh I remember those days!

Hey, so long as when I get down to my ideal goal I don't have to lift my belly flap like a skirt to sit down, I'll be happy.

Right?!? My mother asked me if my surgeon had said anything about excess skin. I said, "let me lose the weight first!"

VIRGINS do not hang around with prostitutes; PATRIOTS do not hang around with terrorists.

It IS that simple!!!

Alas, we were doing so well. I think that is grossly oversimplified. What about the Bushes and Bin Ladens? Unfortunately we put that bastard in office for 2 terms. Clinton had a balanced budget and less than 8 years later, we are closing in on a $7T debt. Great job. McCain is just way too aligned with Bush for me to ever to vote for him. So I didn't!

Go read the Patriot Act 1 and 2 and tell me who has been actively destroying America. Tell me who the real domestic terrorists are. I got news for you, your freedoms, they have already been seriously eroded or destroyed by your administration. The same administration whose decisions John McCain voted to upheld 90% of the time. The folks who have plunged this country and the world in the worst economic crisis in history, the folks who are spending 10 billion a month in a war we entered under false pretend, the folks who declared it unlawful to show American soldiers coffins and funerals to keep the public ignorant, the folks who made the torture of Americans legal, never mind our prisoners of war. The folks you can thank for America slipping far down the world ratings in terms of education, healthcare, sciences. Those are the people who are destroying America and their names are Bush, Cheney and yes McCain who did stood up 10% of the time and aquiesced the other 90% of the time because it served his interests!

Well, again, it was part of an entire quote by someone else. However, ONE man can't enhance our economy any more than ONE man can destroy it. It takes the Congress and Senate to participate and, in most instances, create the issues that the president accepts or rejects. In my opinion, it took the entirity of the government to create what we have today. ALL of them. That is why I say nobody represents me.

I feel like I keep repeating myself:

This is not MY administration. It's just THE administration in place. I am a conservative, but the guys who call themselves conservatives today are nothing more than liberals. That said, those LIBERALS have done this to us. Socialism like Obama wants is a thousand times worse than what we have right now.

Well Presidents have wanted plenty of things in the past that haven't happened. As we saw with the bailout, the Republicans completely abandoned their political party leader and the Fed Chairman and Treasury Secretary that their leader appointed. I still want someone to splain to me what Chris Cox has been doing during all this mess.

With regard to the national debt, Dubya had a republican congress for 6 years. STOP SPENDING MONEY!

Dubya's a 1980's liberal. That's why he's spending so damn much. :rolleyes2:

Oh hell no - don't you blame him on us!!! :hurray:

Wait, what? You don't approve of Bush's spending money (neither do I), but you want Obama because he'll spend more?

Oh hell no - don't you blame him on us!!! :hurray:

LOL, yeah, I know. :rolleyes2:

Wait, what? You don't approve of Bush's spending money (neither do I), but you want Obama because he'll spend more?

For the 7000th time, we are electing a President, not a Dictator. You have this notion that he's going to be standing on the streets throwing currency. During a debate, McCain said he wanted to take a hatchet to the federal budget and Obama said he wanted to take a scalpel.

But yes, I would much rather we were spending money on Americans than to fight some ridiculous war in Iraq and spending money on Iraqis. The Republicans want to spend every dollar of tax revenue PLUS every Chinese yuan on defense. Screw the people! When we first went to war, I had to explain to numerous people why we were in Iraq.

9/11...Bin Laden...Afghanistan...BIG GRAY AREA...Iraqi War

Am I glad that Sodamn Insane is dead? Sure. But why do we feel the need to be the World Police?

See? We agree again. I too say we need to keep the money here. Giving our money to other countries is no smarter than taking from my family to "spread the wealth" even in my country.

And I disagree with Obama's scalpel theory. We are hemhorraging money right now. The time for scalpel cutting passed us by many years ago. MANY years ago. It's time to chop out the unnecessaries and try to keep the body alive. And it needs to be done much more aggressively than any scalpel job will ever do, I believe. :rolleyes2:

But you honestly believe that the Congress will allow for the kind of cutbacks you or McCain want when they're trying to stay in good with their constituents at home?

But you honestly believe that the Congress will allow for the kind of cutbacks you or McCain want when they're trying to stay in good with their constituents at home?

Actually, I'm all for nuking the entire place to the ground so that we can start over. Like that's ever gonna happen... :rolleyes2:

Not saying that voting McCain would guarantee these types of cuts, but it doesn't mean they are any less necessary.

re: "McCain said he wanted to take a hatchet to the federal budget and Obama said he wanted to take a scalpel"

actually, it was Sen Obama that said McCain wants to take a hatchet.

I looked up the transcript and you are correct. Obama, "That's using a hatchet to cut the federal budget. I want to use a scalpel so that people who need help are getting help and those of us, like myself and Sen. McCain, who don't need help, aren't getting it." My bad.
