The facts below can be verified by links to Obama’s speeches, books and various newspaper accounts, yet he’s never asked any hard questions by the media. Why?? Are we that PC insane?
Is he going to ride the affirmative action/race/Oprah card all the way to the White House??
Obama IS a Muslim. Muslim law states if you are born into it by means of the father, you ARE a Muslim.
Leaving Islam punishable by death: Mohammed said, “Whoever changes his Islamic religion, kill him.” Koran, Vol. 9:57
> Obama stated he was a Muslim in ‘Dreams of My Father’, yet today his camp denys it, supports Islam and his closest associates and biggest supporters financially are Muslims.
>Obama’s father, grandfather, gg grandfather and stepfather have a history of multiple wives (pologamy) mistresses and ‘wives’ where no marriage license can be found.
>Obama’s Muslim father, grandfather, stepfather have a history of deserting their wives and children.
>Obama attending Muslim schools where he studied the Islam and the Koran.
His teachers and friends testify that he was Muslim.

Quotes from Obama’s books that tell us of his Muslim past and love for Islam:
From ‘Dreams of my Father’, “In Indonesia, I had spent two years at a Muslim school”
“I studied the Koran..”
Obma quote in Dreams Of My Father:
“THE PERSON WHO MADE ME PROUDEST OF ALL WAS MY BROTHER, ROY, WHO CONVERTED TO ISLAM.”
“Malcolm X’s autobiography seemed to offer something different, His repeated acts of self-creation spoke to me, the blunt poetry of his words, his unadorned insistence on respect, propmised a new and uncompromising order, martial in its discipline forged through sheer force of will”
(I have read Malcom X books- full of hate for the white man.
Yet Obama ADMIRES HIM.)
An interesting side note, Obama’s book, The Audacity of Hope when it came out in Jakarta, it’s title was translated to......
“Jihad: From Jakarta To The Whitehouse”.!!!!!
From ‘Audacity’, “We are no longer just a Christian nation,” “We are also a Jewish nation, a Muslim nation, a Buddhist nation, a Hindu nation, and a nation of nonbelievers.”
(A MUSLIM nation, Obama?? I don’t THINK so! Not a Christian nation? We still are.)
From ‘Audacity of Hope: “Lolo (Obama’s step father) followed a brand of Islam that could make room for the remnants of more ancient animist and Hindu faiths,” Obama recalled. “He explained that a man took on the powers of whatever he ate: One day soon, he promised, he would bring home a piece of tiger meat for us to share. “, “ IT WAS LOLO THAT I LOOKED TO FOR GUIDANCE. “ (A Muslim father is obligated to lead the son in the path of Islam)
>Obama is prominantly displayed as banner boy for Project Islamic H.O.P.E.
http://islamichope.org/
>Obama scorns his white mother who raised him alone and sent him to a fine university after his Muslim father deserted him.
>He scorns the white grandparents who helped raise and educate him.
>He worships and glorifies the Muslim father who deserted them.
Quotes from Obama’s books that prove his disdain for the white race:
From Dreams of My Father, “ I FOUND A SOLACE IN NURSING A PERVASISVE SENSE OF GRIEVANCE AND ANIMOSITY AGAINST MY MOTHER’S RACE”.
From ‘Dreams of My Father’,
“I ceased to advertise my mother’s race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites.
From ‘Dreams’, “never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn’t speak to my own. It was into my father’s image, the black man, son of Africa, that I’d packed all the attributes I sought in myself, the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela.”
From ‘Dreams’,
“There were enough of us on campus to constitute a tribe, and when it came to hanging out many of us chose to function like a tribe, staying close together, traveling in packs,” he wrote. “It remained necessary to prove which side you were on,to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names”
From ‘Dreams’, “I had grown accustomed, everywhere, to suspicions between the races.”
From ‘Dreams of my Father’, “The emotion between the races could never be pure, even love was tarnished by the desire to find in the other some element that was missing in ourselves. Whether we sought out our demons or salvation, the other race would always remain just that: menacing, alien, and apart.”
From ‘Dreams’, “There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white.” This was a statement made about one of his bosses.
From ‘Audacity’, “We are no longer just a Christian nation,” “We are also a Jewish nation, a Muslim nation, a Buddhist nation, a Hindu nation, and a nation of nonbelievers.”
>He ‘carefully picks his friends’ during college years, scorning whites for blacks.
http://www.amconmag.com/2007/2007_03_12/feature.html
>Obama stated he ran with blacks only ‘to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.”
http://www.examiner.com/a-536474~_Tr...o_worlds_.html
/>Obama joined black radical, racist church as a ‘cover’.
The church’s pastor, Jeremiah Wright is a radical black supremacist who associates with radical Muslims.
The church’s doctrine is printed on their website http://www.tucc.org/about.htm
Part of Obama’s church doctrine:
Commitment to the BLACK Community
Commitment to the BLACK Family
Adherence to the BLACK Work Ethic
Pledge to make the fruits of all developing and acquired skills available to the BLACKCommunity
Pledge to Allocate Regularly, a Portion of Personal Resources for Strengthening and Supporting BLACK Institutions
Pledge allegiance to all BLACK leadership who espouse and embrace the Black Value System
Personal commitment to embracement of the BLACK Value System.
(If your church had such a doctrine, Jesse and Al and the NAACP would have 10,000 demonstrators out front in a heartbeat!!!)
>Obama repeatedly lies to enhance his ‘story’:
States he was influenced by story in magazine about a black man trying to bleach his skin. No such story exists.
States his grandfather was a poor goat hearder. His father was prosperous.
http://www.suntimes.com/news/sweet/3...weet28.article
>Obama’s voting record proves he is an extreme radical left winger:
Passed a bill requiring police to videotape interrogations for crimes punishable by the death penalty; legislation to curb racial profiling.
Obama supports homosexual marriage, racial preferences, gun control, flag-burning, socialized medicine and the absolute right to abortion, including partial-birth abortions. He voted against requiring medical care for aborted fetuses who survive.
Obama is anti-war, voted against the reauthorization of the USA Patriot Act, against privatizing Social Security and opposes the death penalty, three strikes laws and school vouchers. HE HAS NO MILITARY SERVICE RECORD.
Obama opposed the Defense of Marriage Act; would work to repeal it in the U.S. Senate; would not vote for any legislation that would restrict the ability of gays and lesbians to marry.
Obama opposed the Born Alive Infant Protection Act four times in Illinois. A similar bill passed the U.S. Senate 98-0. The Born Alive bill would have prohibited a baby from being born alive but left to die according to the mother’s wishe!!
Obama opposed this bill not once, twice, or three times, but four times

>The Illinois Democrat has missed nearly 80 percent of all votes since September.
Obama routinely avoids voting on any issue that is not helpful to Muslim goals.
For example, Obama missed a vote on a resolution that declared the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, an elite part of the Iranian military, a terrorist organization

(In other words, hang screaming animals up by their hing legs and slit their throats while they are still alive to drain out all the blood so the flesh will be ‘Halal’ for Muslims- this is done sometimes by Muslim families as a ritual/party in the yard with family and friends in attendance)

>Obama states ‘NOBODY IS SUFFERING MORE THAN THE PALESTINE PEOPLE’ !!!!!
The Palestinian Authority is controlled by Hamas, a political party that does not recognize Israel’s sovereignty and is listed by several countries - including the United States - as a terrorist organization. The United States and other nations imposed restrictions on aid when Hamas gained power last year.

Remember in ‘04 when Osama bin Laden came out with that video stating “Vote For Kerry”?
I guess that if Kerry endorses Obama, that Osama is likely to endorse Obama as well.
Maybe Kerry thinks that “Obama” and “Osama” are the same person and decided to return the favor?!?
This is an anchor thrown at Obama.
Its like getting a recommendation from Teddy.
Could it be that the Clintons geared and moved Kerry towards supporting Obama because deep inside the Clintons knew that an endorsement from Kerry would be like committing political suicide?
