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.

Businessmen and -women make themselves millionaires and billionaires. Barring the types of bullcrap that Enron executives and other shysters pulled, and no matter what the left will have you believe, wealth is not evil. The class envy on the left is amazing.

*snorkle* Something tells me you wouldn't know a neo-conservative if it bit you on the leg. IF he has ushered in neo-conservatives, it is only because he did not stay true to his base and went far afield of the right. I know because you adhere to such leftist policies you don't see it, but to the right, he IS a liberal. Because you are so leftist, to you he is a conservative.

You're so very right. And his name is Barack Hussein Obama. Just ask "Joe the Plumber" about how the left has virtually performed anal probes on him for the mortal sin of daring to question Heil Hussein.

A. Class envy? I dont think so. I am educated, european born, was an upper level executive in a global firm, made loads of money and dont have to work. So, thank you, I am quite happy with my "class". Oh, and my income has not come from putting Americans in arms way. Its not built on American blood.

B. To maintain that Bush is a liberal is to reveal your lack of critical thinking and great ability to spew propaganda. Just Google Bush and neo-conservative and you will be quickly desilutioned of your Bush is a liberal fantasy.

This would be one: The Neocons in Power - The New York Review of books

this another Bush is a neoconservative

Of course no one disputes that Bush was so inept he has made his neoconservative buddies very unhappy.

C. Joe The Plumber. If the not a plumber, not an entrepreneur, con man Joe the Plumber is all you have to throw at Barack Obama then I pity you.

He is a huge joke, but if he is you idol, hey you can have him.

And as far as your post about socialism and communism being "this" close, you really need to do some research because that is simply not the case. Further, eventhough Hitler's regime was called a social-democracy, it had nothing to do with modern socialism, think of it as a fascist regime. And, Obama wont bring a social democracy around, Sarah Palin and McCain might, Bush's attacks on the constitution have been the closest to that shift.

ANd, Obama is not considered a socialist anywhere in the world but here in the USA. To socialists everywhere he is really a centrist republican. I dont think you realize how tiny the differences are between republicans and democrats compared to lets say the Union for a Popular Movement (UMP), the the centrist party Union for French Democracy (UDF) and the the Socialist Party's (PS). Most european countries show much more marked differences in the core values of their parties. People in europe are rolling on the floor laughing when Obama is described as a communist, a socialist or a Marxist. It exposes some Americans for the ignoramuses that they are.

To steal from one who has to give to another who has not is a form of class envy.

To true conservatives, he IS a liberal. I don't expect you to get that.

Where's the joke? The messiah is the one this is about, not Joe. "Joe" just represents the average person who does not want Obama's socialism. Obama's own words created Joe, nothing else. Had Obama not been caught without a teleprompter in front of him, his true side may have been hidden. "Joe" just happened to be the one heil Hussein told it to.

I don't doubt that to the rest of the world Obama is a republican. The rest of the world doesn't have a clue.

Does it bother you, by the way, that terrorists are rooting for Obama? Why do you think that is?

1. Come on, seriously? You honestly think that Americans are SO much brighter than the rest of the world? That statement, in and of itself, is ridiculous. The mere fact that our educational system continue to decrease against the other industrialized countries should tell us something. Having been outside of the U.S., I have realized how spoiled and isolated we truly are. Look at the level of debt many Americans are in.

2. How in God's name do you have any idea what terrorists want? Are you making this stuff up now? Terrorists want Obama b/c he doesn't want us to be in Iraq?

No, actually I don't think that Americans are so much brighter than the rest of the world. However, we are still on this side of freer than most of them are. So compared to what many countries have as their societal system, they just may consider Obama a republican.

2. How in God's name do you have any idea what terrorists want? Are you making this stuff up now? Terrorists want Obama b/c he doesn't want us to be in Iraq?

I guess I could ask how in God's name you know that most outside of America consider Obama a republican. I have seen pictures of Arabs and other middle easterners carrying signs saying they are for Obama. Saw one in fact that says Palestinians for Obama. And I am sure the terrorists DO want us out of Iraq. It's harder to keep up with their terrorist activities if we're there.

Interesting. McCain gets al-Qaeda while Obama gets Hamas. And four of the Weatherunderground terrorists. And Raila Odinga. And Rashid Khalidi.

Then again (and again, not that I'm pro McCain), I wouldn't put it past a terrorist organization like al-Qaeda to put something like that out there in order to cause consternation in the last days before the election. You know, they don't really support him, but to say they do casts a shadow. Cuz you know how wiley those silly little terrorists are. :cool2:

Rashid Khalili? First he is a scholar, not a terrorist. Second, McCain is the one who gave him a 1/2 million dollar, not Obama:

"John McCain served as Chairman of the International Republican Institute (IRI), which gave out grants to different organizations including the Palestinian Research Center, which was headed by Rashid Khalidi. In 1998, a tax filing from IRI shows $448,873 that went to Khalaidi’s group. The relationship existed for at least 5 years as in 1993 IRI funded several of Khalidi’s studies on “sociopolitical attitudes.”

See grant number 5180, "West Bank: CPRS" on page 14 of this PDF:

http://big.assets.huffingtonpo.....901998.pdf"

More info on the relationship between Obama and Khalili:

Allies of Palestinians see a friend in Barack Obama - Los Angeles Times

And, have you been to Israel? Because I have and while I am pro-israel, the manner in which Palestinians live is not ok, in great part due to their own dirigants. If Obama can help resolve some of the issues great. I dont think he will be anymore successful then the other Presidents who have tried.

And, do you know that the Economist endorsed Obama? Hardly a liberal rag.

This is what they have to say about Obama and Raila's relationship.

Mr Obama saves Kenya | Saving the world in his spare time | The Economist

Not at all how you portray it.

I dont know where you get your information, I think you might want to investigate more closely whatever is sent to you because as you can see when you look at just the facts, your stuff just does noy stand up to scrutiny.

Oh, and about socialist countries being losers, or whatever you called them here are some interesting statistics related to your perception about socialism and capitalism relative to corporations andmbusinesses. Cause business is what defines capitalism.

The Ease of Doing Business (created by the World Bank)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/E.....ness_Index

The top 20 countries in the world for ease of doing business include many that are considered to be "socialist" countries by conservatives like you.

Index of Economic Freedom (compiled by Wall Street Journal and Heritage Foundation)

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/I.....ic_Freedom

Quote:The index scores nations on 10 broad factors of economic freedom using statistics from organizations like the World Bank, the IMF and the Economist Intelligence Unit:

* Business Freedom

* Trade Freedom

* Monetary Freedom

* Freedom from Government

* Fiscal Freedom

* Property Rights

* Investment Freedom

* Financial Freedom

* Freedom from Corruption

* Labor Freedom

The 10 factors are averaged equally into a total score. Each one of the 10 freedoms is graded using a scale from 0 to 100, where 100 represents the maximum freedom. A score of 100 signifies an economic environment or set of policies that is most conducive to economic freedom.

Again there a number of "socialist" countries including Belgium and a host of Scandinavian countries in the top 20.

How do you explain that?

THIS IS WHY:

Makes me downright queazy. :tongue:

Well then dont cry when you dont get what you want. What is the saying again, the future belongs to those who get up early?

As to the video, I am sorry for this lady if she is confusing Obama with Santa. I have been watching reactions from the rest of the world on TV5 and everyone is very clear that Obama is a capitalist, concerned first and foremost with the welfare of America and Americans and they are not expecting him to be much more different then say Bill Clinton.

I think those who are expecting Obama to turn into a socialist, marxist, communist are going to be very dissapointed.
