Obama’s Upbringing (Much more at link)

From:
http://www.jeffhead.com/obamaupbringing.htm

........
Did or did not Obama recite the Islamic call to prayer from memory in an interview? Did he or did he not, in that interview refer to it as one of the most beautiful sounds at sunset? - [Reference Obama:Man of the World, March 6, 2007, Nicholas D. Kristoff, NY Times Select]
From that article:

“I was a little Jakarta street kid,” he said in a wide-ranging interview in his office (excerpts are on my blog, www.nytimes.com/ontheground). He once got in trouble for making faces during Koran study classes in his elementary school, but a president is less likely to stereotype Muslims as fanatics — and more likely to be aware of their nationalism — if he once studied the Koran with them.

Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated (it’ll give Alabama voters heart attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as “one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.”

...
Now, whether or not Obama considers himself Muslim now, whether or not he is willing to admit to his past and upbringing, these questions and his efforts to hide or color the truth of his background are relavent to his actions as President.

If he will not even be truthful about his own upbringing, his own roots...how can we expect him to be truthful about his own stances on critical issues of the day and his ideology as regards the United States?

OBAMA, THE STOCK MARKETS, AND ENERGY

BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA is an avowed socialist, openly talking about applying marxist dogma and principle to our free market.
He has stated, among other things, that he openly wants all of the following:

Redistribution of Wealth (in his 2001 NPR interview)

That he wants to bankrupt the traditional coal industry (in the closing days of the campaign).

That he wants off shore drilling and ANWR drilling curtailed (before and during the campaign).

That the rest of the world will not put up with Americans driving SUVs, keeping their houses warm, or enjoying their life styles (during the campaign).

That huge bailouts should go to the very institutions that have caused the financial crisis under democratic party initiatives (during the campaign...and before when he himself was involved in creating, supporting, and pushing forward those very initiatives).

That any talk against his socialistic plans is “greed” and that free market principles that invoke such “greed” should be ended (during the campign and throughout his career as a politician and activist).
