obama has a very corrupt past history that the media has refused to discuss. seems he has directed alot of tax dollars to his own special interest groups that has paid off very well for him:


Barack Obama served on the board of directors of Woods Fund of Chicago from 1993 to 2001. During that time, the tax exempt foundation made some interesting grants, including one to Obama's church, Trinity United Church of Christ, headed by Rev. Jeremiah Wright at the time. Grants were also made to ACORN, a left wing voter registration group and to a partnership for constructing low income housing. The fund also used Northern Trust for financial services, which is the same company that provided Obama his 2005 mortgage.


In 2001 the board of directors included Obama, William Ayers, the former Weather Underground radical terrorist, and serving as chairman was Howard J. Stanback who headed New Kenwood LLC, a limited liability company founded by now-convicted felon Tony Rezko and Allison Davis, Obama's former boss at the law firm of Davis Miner Barnhill & Galland

Yeah, I agree. So far the MSM media has ignored the connections and his associations.

Not for long though. It will come out in the fall, probably from the independent groups on the right.

Can you imagine a democrat being nominated by his party with these kinds of "people" in his life, during the time of say Kennedy? Or any dem before that?

Default Utterly ridiculous...more desperado fishing

Obama did not LIE to the American people and the world to justify attacking a sovereign nation that posed no imminent threat. Over 4100 lives have been lost and we're still counting. Trillions of dollars wasted. The domestic agenda IGNORED. The war has been LOST. All with McCain's blessing.

Republicans and mcCain stink. This is clear.

Actually, according to folks like Murtha the surge suggested by McCain has been pretty successful (see appropriate thread).

Really? I guess you haven't been paying attention to what is happening in Iraq and around the world. Haven't heard that Al Qaeda is on it's last legs in Iraq? Being driven out by our great military and the Iraqi's? I know you probably wished the US to lose the war, as did many of the dems/libs since that is were they invested their talking points and agenda.

I don't blame you though - good news for the US is bad news for dems/libs.

They will never admit the war is going good. They will never admit that we are winning the war.

For someone to sit and still say the war is lost is totally ridiculous because that person is so misinformed.
Even when a traitor like Jack Murtha has said it is working they still wont believe it.

WE ARE WINNING IN IRAQ ! Deal with it!

Don't you ever change that record?

Bush didn't lie, either. I'll repeat what I posted on the other thread:
In 2004, the Senate Intelligence Committe unanimously approved a report acknowledging that it "did not find any evidence that administration officials attempted to coerce, influence or pressure analysts to change their judgments."

The following year, the bipartisan Robb-Silberman report similarly found "no indication that the intelligence community distorted the evidence regarding Iraq's WMD."

And, again, this war has NOT cost "trillions" of dollars.

Default More corrupt history!

Barack Obama's mother, Stanley Ann Dunham, was a "fellow traveler" or Communist sympathizer. She studied Marxism in high school under Marxist teachers in Oregon. Her Socialist parents moved from Kansas so she could study under these sworn enemies of capitalism, one of whom seduced her at age 17.

She and her parents moved to HI where she studied Anthropology and participated in Communist rallys and protests. She attended meetings of radical groups including the campus Black Panthers. Her parents home was frequently used by traveling Communist speakers passing through HI. Stanley Ann had many lovers including Barack's father Barack Senior who was very active in the leftist organizations. Six months after their brief encounter Stanley Ann found herself pregnant. Though she wasn't sure of the paternal parent, she was at the time going with Barack Senior so she said he was the father. Obama and Stanley Ann married in an African folk ceremony in Maui.

Obama Senior had no part of his child's life since he ran back to Kenya to become an official in the brief and corrupt Communist regime called the Kenyatta Regime. He was a bigamist since he also had a Kenyan wife.

As a result of another brief tryst Stanley Ann married an Indonesian Communist, Sorrento who took his young bride and her child with him to Indonesia. Stanley Ann found work with an anthropologist and resumed her Communist activities.

She raised her children to be Marxists. Indeed when Obama returned to HI to finish High school she arranged for him to study Marxist Labor activism with Frank Marshall Davis, a known and FBI identified Communist.

Obama has said he wants to change America. He wants to tax the middle and upper classes to raise up what he calls the worker's class. He wants to punish those who have worked hard and accumulated wealth with huge increases in taxes. Those tax increases will have to be passed to the middle class because Obama has proposed over a trillion dollars in spending for his new government programs. He says he will fund them with "PAYGO" but his proposals would take 17-20 or more years to fund according to economic theorists. Obama's plan reeks of Marxism!

All of Obama's friends are Communists, Socialists, Former Radical terrorists or convicted criminals. He also has ties to a former PLO official who wants Israel blown off of the face of the earth!
