Obama's High School Days
Newsmax.com ^ | October 9, 2008 | Ronald Kessler

Posted on 10/10/2008 3:45:42 PM PDT by TheClintons-STILLAnti-American

As the media turns over every rock in the past of vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin, there has been shockingly little vetting of Barack Obama’s background.

Although candidates should not be judged solely by their behavior as adolescents, an examination of their overall past is fair and important, especially as we pick our next president. And former schoolmates can help provide character clues, such as the former Obama schoolmate who told Newsmax that she is surprised he is running for president.

I know there is no interest on the part of many as to what sort of person their messiah is, but it's no wonder his propaganda machine which includes virtually the entire MSM, are determined to keep it under wraps.

I can't help but believe there is going to be tremendous outrage at the media for their complicity when people begin to ask themselves "What have we done?" if Obanunism comes to pass.

Who paid for his expensive high school? Was it Charles Davis the Communist who was a good friend of the family? His grandparents certainly did not have the money.

As much as his background scares me, I wouldn’t get too worked up about 0bama’s high school experiences short of any potential criminal record, or perhaps whether he clung to Islam during his high school days which would expose some very large lies he has told the world regarding his background.

The American people will never know the truth. The Internet will be regulated and talk radio will be eliminated. Meanwhile, the Democrat media will praise every word and deed of the messiah.

"As much as his background scares me, I wouldn’t get too worked up about 0bama’s high school experiences short of any potential criminal record,"

While I have to agree with your point, this is just one more bit of evidence that could, in hindsight, cause some to question on what basis Obama could possibly have been packaged and sold to them so successfully, since there was NO foundation on which to build the facade.

Many people are going to feel very foolish and very deceived.

True that.

But fact is, after the tax money starts running out people are going to start longing for the good old days of a George Bush presidency, and the anger and hatred of today on the part of the Left will seem mild in comparison.

Obama’s problem is that both his natural parents abandoned him. He never got over it.

I am very unhappy with Bush now but still when someone tells me, as many have, that we cannot do worse than G.W. Bush my usual reply is,”Wait, regardless of who wins this time we ARE GOING to do worse”.
