I hope the Obama supporters are paying attention. The media is finally starting to scrutinize him and I hope it is not too little too late. First off, there are his ties to the Nation of Islam leader, Farrakhan In the debate last week he was asked if he would reject Farrakhan's endorsement. Barack tried to skirt the issue by saying he repudiated Farrakhan's anti-Semitic stance. He did not take a real stand on this until Hillary pushed the issue. This should be disconcerting to any American. Farrakhan is racist against the entire White race.
Why Barack did not take an instantaneous stand when given the chance is reason for concern.
If you look at the transcript of the debate, you will see how long he tried to skirt the issue and not consign to totally rejecting this racist.
Second, in trying to boast his experience he mentioned that he was on the subcommittee for examining what can be done regarding Afghanistan. He continues to use this in reference to his experience and even has the audacity to publicize it in his new ad.
Hillary pointed out that although He did head the committee he had not held one meeting on that committee in the 13 months he has been on it.
His answer was, He was too busy running for the nomination.
He said in clear terms, he was too busy running for a new position to fulfill the obligation of a current position.
That also should be troubling.
Then there are his ties to Rezko who donated money to his campaign helped him buy his home and all the while this man was under investigation and Obama knew this. This man is now in jail waiting to stand trial.
These are just a few of the issues that if you are an Obama supporter you should be taking into consideration.
Remember Obama says he is the candidate of integrity, and hope and change.
I think it is very scary that we are just starting to get information about his background this far into the Presidential Primary.

People who have no information to share just seem to sling insults or make things up.

During the Clinton Administration, 80 Million dollars in taxpayer money spent by Ken Starr to investigate the Clintons. All they could find to try to get him out of the white house was Monica Lewinsky... I think that all of this just goes to show that the Clintons have been under attack by the Republican Party for a very long time and yet after 80 Million dollars all they could finally do was try to destroy them based on a very personal problem, which had nothing to do with his performance as our President.

Think about this, If we spend 80 Million dollars of taxpayer money to investigate Barack Obama, what might we find out?

I am not ready to take a chance handing over the Countries highest office to a man we know so little about.

I read this article and thought it was extremely informative.

Remember Barack Obama says he will be different.

But behind Obama's campaign rhetoric, about taking on special interests, lies a more complicated truth. A Globe review of Obama's campaign finance records shows that he collected hundreds of thousands of dollars from lobbyists and PACs as a state legislator in Illinois, a US senator, and a presidential aspirant.
In Obama's eight years in the Illinois Senate, from 1996 to 2004, almost two-thirds of the money he raised for his campaigns -- $296,000 of $461,000 -- came from PACs, corporate contributions, or unions, according to Illinois Board of Elections records. He tapped financial services firms, real estate developers, healthcare providers, oil companies, and many other corporate interests, the records show.
Obama's US Senate campaign committee, starting with his successful run in 2004, has collected $128,000 from lobbyists and $1.3 million from PACs, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, a nonprofit organization that tracks money in politics. His $1.3 million from PACs represents 8 percent of what he has raised overall. Clinton's Senate committee, by comparison, has raised $3 million from PACs, 4 percent of her total amount raised, the group said.
In addition, Obama's own federal PAC, Hopefund, took in $115,000 from 56 PACs in the 2005-2006 election cycle out of $4.4 million the PAC raised, according to CQ MoneyLine, which collects Federal Election Commission data. Obama then used those PAC contributions -- including thousands from defense contractors, law firms, and the securities and insurance industries -- to build support for his presidential run by donating to Democratic Party organizations and candidates around the country.

Can we all wake up about the little known messiah Obama?

I’m outta here!
