Open your eyes ( you cannot do so, however, due to blind worship of Obama)

1. income inequality will be one of my top priorities

2. "they" have to pay thier fair share

3. I am not opposed to redistribution of wealth

4. We are going to transform America


No one ever said that Obama did not reward or pay off his supporters. His "stimulus" was a giant political pay off to supporters and Obama has covered and rewarded bankers who (with a similar situation) were sentenced to jail in the Reagan administration.

Does he want to "nationalize" business? A few- witness the first step to a single payer healthcare system. Witness the government bailout of the banks and the auto industry. For the time being, however, he has to pay off supporters, and those supporters are certainly NOT the middle class, who has suffered greatly under Obama.

I prefer a touch of cosmopolitanism to a hayseed like GWB, who at the time of his election did not know what Sunnis and Shi'ites were.

I associate with "known conservatives" and yet no one would mistake me for a conservative. Some of the most influential people in my life have very little politically or theologically in common with me.

Have you only ever surrounded yourself with people who think just like you?

Considering that that the US has always been vigorously anti-colonial itself, and that Indonesia has always been primarily pro-American... what he said is even more idiotic.

At the time Obama was there, Indonesia was governed by a pro-American psychopath.

I did not say that Obama was a "Manchurian candidate." Don't put words in my mouth. But Obama was mentored by a communist (Frank Marshall Davis), and his mother was a communist, as was his step father until he rejected it (and for that reason Stanley Ann Dunham divorced him).

We know also that Obama is anti-capitalist, and that he embraces Marxist/socialism. Further, he was a member of the "Chicago New Party" (and there have been photos of him accepting his membership posted on the Internet).

These are all ideologies of the same stripes.
New Party
The New Party was a political organization founded in 1992 by Daniel Cantor and Joel Rogers, with the objective of electing leftist or socialist individuals to public office in several states; the goal was to move the Democratic Party further to the left, with the ultimate objective of creating a major third party whose platform is Marxism.Daniel Cantor, a former staffer with Jesse Jackson during his 1988 presidential campaign, and sociology/law professor Joel Rogers from the University of Wisconsin (Madison) created the New party, drawing many members from the Democratic Socialists of America and the civil organization group ACORN; the chapter in Chicago included former Maoists, Trotskyists, and Communist Party USA members who had gathered together under the group name "Committees of Correspondence". Among their most prominent members was Barack Obama, first picked to succeed Illinois state senator Alice Palmer while in the home of Weather Underground terrorist William Ayers in 1995.
New Party - Conservapedia

You could have mentioned? Actually, you did. The problem is that you cannot PROVE this assertion.

Auma Obama was born in 1960. But when? It's more likely that Auma was born BEFORE Obama's mother became pregnant. So unless you can PROVE otherwise, I wish you'd stop making this statement.

None of that is true.

Frank Marshall Davis was never Obama's mentor. And there is no evidence that his step father even the slightest communist or socialist leaning.

Furthermore, Obama's mother (a PhD Anthropologist) dedicated her entire life to the implementation of capitalism in the 3rd world as a pioneer in micro-finance. His grandfather was a small businessman, and his grandmother was a banker.

I.e.... his actual background was excruciatingly pro-capitalist.

As Reagan would say there you go again.

Trinity UCC does not spew hatred towards whites, nor does it separate themselves from white society or hate America.

Trinity UCC is voluntarily a member in the United Church of Christ. The United Church of Christ is predominately white (90%+). Trinity members and their ministers are quite active within the UCC.
