The REAL Obama Country - What Barack Hussein Obama Left Behind

Antoine Members is a Republican challenging incumbent Democrat Bobby Rush in the 1st CD, the congressional district where Barack Obama lives.  Watch this zero-budget YouTube in which Antoine, a spunky 29 year old Chicago corrections officer, tells the world what it's like to live in Obama's home district. .

Illinois Review spent some time with Members earlier this week.  Watch for the upcoming interview and check out  Antoine Members for Congress.

What Obama Left Behind in Chicago

[BillyBoy]

GREAT video from Antonin Members , a conservative black candidate running as the Republican nominee in the heart of Obama's Chicago. As someone deep in enemy territory, he is an outstanding rising star in the GOP and could use our support and donations to get his message out.

Remember freepers, Obama got his start in "national politics" during his infamous 2000 campaign for U.S. Congress, where he managed to LOSE an election to Bobby "black panther" Rush in the Democrat primary to represent the south side of Chicago (Sadly, I live in this district)

You guys have all heard about Col. Allen West. Well, take a long hard look at Antonin, the anti-Obama voice in Obama's neighbor!

Let's pray Zerobama doesn't bring the kind of "change" to America that he brought to my home district!!

Hah! I love this guy! Very down to earth, plain and simple message, just the truth, and the facts. Only thing I dont care for is the emphasis of his middle name “Hussein”. I know, its really his middle name, but I just dont care for that tactic.

[BillyBoy]

We NEED this man to keep speaking out against Obama and show America just what kind of "leadership" Obama has provided for Chicago's south side!

Members is an unabashed, unashamed PROUD conservative Republican -- pro-life, pro-gun, pro-family, pro-Consitutional small government conservative.

I urge my fellow freepers to SUPPORT his candidacy if you can. Any donation to Members gives him a chance to show America just what kind of "community organizer" Obama is.

[RedBloodedTexan]

Being the conservative congressional candidate, perhaps McCain/Palin could go campaign for him and he could get his story out on national TV? Just a thought. Why would this be a good, or a bad, idea? I love input from those smarter than me.

The media, and unfortunately, the GOP does not have the balls to really go into this district and highlight the nothingness for which Obama has done his own community and people. He lives in a fancy house far removed from these folks like Mr. Members. I think they ought to ask folks here in his district one basic question, “Are you better off now, is your community better off now, in the four years since Obama was elected Senator ? What has Obama done for you personally to make your life better ? Does he make you feel safer, does he bring in jobs, investment ?” The answer clearly is “no.” Obama has clearly enriched himself and his wife while allowing these impoverished neighborhoods to twist in the wind. Obama doesn’t care about Black people, only about manipulating and exploiting them.

Thanks for posting this video!

THE TRUTH HURTS! Obama’s neighborhood is in bad shape!

Post #5.

[mouske]

Is his name Antonin or Antoine? It appears both ways in the article.

[weston]

Great video, thank you.

[NeoCaveman]

He’ll probably do better than Obama did in 2000 against Bobby Rush.

[Lancey Howard]

Obama doesn’t care about Black people, only about manipulating and exploiting them.

So.... Obama is a typical Democrat politician?

[Impy]

I have a lot of respect for guys like Members. Black Republicans often run in seats like that, ignored by all.

Members obviously knows the score. The rats scre* the poor.

Nice job organizing the community there Berry.

[SERKIT]

Any chance this guy could be on the same stage with McCain and Palin in an Illinois venue? That would be SWEET!

Backing up Antoine's testimony.

Obama's "community organizing" left Chicago neighborhoods in ruins.

Grim proving ground for Obama's housing policy

About 99 of the units are vacant, many rendered uninhabitable by unfixed problems, such as collapsed roofs and fire damage. Mice scamper through the halls. Battered mailboxes hang open. Sewage backs up into kitchen sinks. In 2006, federal inspectors graded the condition of the complex an 11 on a 100-point scale - a score so bad the buildings now face demolition.

Here's another good video:

Antoine at the Republican National Convention: Why Americans Should Vote McCain Over Obama

Sadly, no local, state, or national Republican organization will cough up a cent for this guy because his district is over 60% black and considered "unwinnable" (I live in a white majority surburban area of the district). It's up to individuals to help Antoine get his message out. Antoine is truly at the heart of Obama's district, and literally lives down block from Father Michael "America is a greatest sin against God" Pfledger's church!

>> Any chance this guy could be on the same stage with McCain and Palin in an Illinois venue? That would be SWEET! <<

That would be awesome. He's certainly get alot of applause at a McCain for exposing what it's like to live in Obama's district. I don't think McCain has had an public events in Illinois since winning the primary, only private fund-raisers thus far.

Any freepers have contacts in the McCain camp and could possibly arrange this?

[BillyBoy]

His name is Antoine. Antonin was a typo on my part.

[Osage Orange]

Barack Hussein Obama.

Just another black man....exploiting his own.

[Osage Orange]

This guy seems like a heckofa guy....

He better watch his back though.......

Barack Hussein Obama...won't take kindly to this.
