Obama's Politics

[peterhook]

Hi Friends,
Barack Obama stepped onto the national political stage when the then-Illinois State senator addressed the 2004 Democratic National Convention. Soon after Obama was elected to the U.S. Senate, author Jerome Corsi began researching Obama's personal and political background. Scrupulously sourced with more than 600 footnotes, THE OBAMA NATION is the result of that research. By tracing Obama's career and influences from his early years in Hawaii and Indonesia, the beginnings of his political career in Chicago, his voting record in the Illinois legislature, his religious training and his adoption of Christianity through to his recent involvement in Kenyan politics, his political advisors and fundraising associates and his meteoric campaign for president, Jerome Corsi shows that an Obama presidency would, in his words, be “a repeat of the failed extremist politics that have characterized and plagued Democratic Party politics since the late 1960s.”In this stunning and comprehensive new book, the reader will learn about: -Obama's extensive connections with Islam and radical politics, from his father and step-father's Islamic backgrounds, to his Communist and socialist mentors in Hawaii and Chicago, to his long-term and close associations with former Weather Underground heroes William Ayers and Bernadette Dohrn—associations much closer than heretofore revealed by the press
-Barack and Michelle's 20-year-long religious affiliation with the black-liberation theology of former Trinity United Church of Christ Reverend Jeremiah Wright, whose sermons have always been steeped in a rage first expressed by Franz Fanon , Stokely Carmichael and Malcolm X, a rage that Corsi shows has deep meaning for Obama
-Obama's involvement in the slum-landlord empire of the Chicago political fixer Tony Rezko, who helped to bankroll Obama's initial campaigns and to purchase of Barack and Michelle's dream-home property.
-Obama's far-left domestic policy, his controversial votes on abortion, his history of opposition to the Second Amendment, his determination to raise capital-gains taxes, his impractical plan to achieve universal health care, and his radical plan to tax Americans to fund a global-poverty-reduction program.

Hi Peter .. !!

Barack Obama is certainly raising some eyebrows. His latest idea to break up the large U.S. banks is having quite an effect on the stock market.

US stocks plunge for second day
US stock markets have tumbled for a second consecutive day, on concern over President Obama's plan to revamp the US banking industry.
The Dow Jones plunged by 216 points, or 2%, to close at 10172.98, while the technology heavy Nasdaq fell by 2.6%, or 60 points, to finish at 2205.29.
The broader S&P 500 Index also sank by more than 2% to end at 1091.76.

He is certainly charismatic. He wants health-care reform. A good thing if it doesn't further bankrupt his country, and he is dealing with bankers that probably should be covered by your magazine for the way they invest clients money. Pretty scary for anybody to find the balance.

What's your take on the man?

Morning Peter, The first year of his Term is over. NOW, we as a people (Nation)can "Objectively" Score this man. He has FAILED on many of his "Campaign Promises"... I.E. "Closing of Gitmo"... (Good Thing STILL OPEN)... Although His Administraion HAS Released some of the "Terrorist", it is still OPEN and helping to secure the world.
Health care reform. (Usher in Socialism). Thank God for the Tea Party movement and the Fortitude of the American People. BLOCKED. The Health Care Reform we need is Tort Reform, Pharmaceutical and Government "Back Room" payoffs, Less Government Regulation and Controls on Physicians and Hospitals, LESS "FREE" care to the chosen (Illegals, Politicians). His Presidential Pardon to the Terrorist that Attacked "USS COLE". His continued Association with "KNOWN (Authenticated) Communists and outreach to such around the world. (Chavez, Iran, N.Korea, Putin, Kadaffi) just to mention a few. His Refusal to accept Radical Islam for what it is "Terrorism) and Treat it as such. His Administration's FAILURE to uphold the Constitution of the United States and His FIRST Priority under the Constitutuion. "PROTECT and DEFEND the United States and her Citizens. The Government (SOCIALISM) takeover of better than 1/3 rd of our Economy. (Detroit, Banking Institutions, Health Care Related Industries). Better than a 17, that's right 17 TRILLION DOLLAR NATIONAL DEBT. Chicago Style Politics of Corruption and Payoff.
Yes, I believe one could say that the predictions of His Failure are coming to fruition. Actually, This man is no more than a "Pawn", He is a "Lawn Ornament" for the "Progressive Party". It's the Harry Read's, the Nancy Palocy's (HARD LEFT WINGERS) tha are pulling the strings. He is their Bred water boy for this time and age. They Could NOT have GOTTEN this far with a White Man... Their PC'ness just would NOT have worked. One thing is for certain though. We as believers Know the Final outcome... We have the "Final Chapter" of the Book available to us for Guidence.

I think I better "Clarify" I Don't want to be "Misquoted". When talking about a White Man not being the right choice for the "Left Wingers" to get this far with their agenda and Obama being the Bred Water boy and Lawn Ornament for that Movement, there is NO way a White man could hide behind the VALE of "RACISM" they have used to protect Obama. "If you don't agree with their policies and politics put forth by his mouth, one's called a "Racist". If you "Question", your a "Racist". That could never have been used if he were white.

Willy, The US is "Already" bankrupt. We as a Nation will NEVER be able to pay of a 17 Trillion Dollar Debt. Since His swearing in our Government printing office has NON Stop been printing "GREEN BACKS". How long do you think that can go on? Talk about double digit inflation during the Carter Years. Wait till this Catches up to us. One can only put Band aids on a wound so long befroe it festers.

Obama has stated. "My Goal is to REBUILD America". To me that means America "MUST" be Destroyed. Out of her ashes, They can Rebuild it as They (Socialists) see fit. I predict if the elections of 2010 do NOT change the Balance of Power (and I'm not talking Dem's V Repub's) there are "SOCIALIST" in BOTH PARTIES. There is CORRUPTION in BOTH PARTIES. I'm talking about Electing people who will PUT the NATION and Her CITIZENS FIRST, NOT thier Personal or Group Desires oand GOALS, in 18 months the United States as we know it today will no longer be Recognisable. We WILL be a BROKEN Nation and in Turmoil. RIPE for the Pickin'

How can someone fail so quickly when they walked into the huge mess he did?! I don't think he's had enough time to really fix anything yet and I think people need patience because this will take years past his (4 yr.) term. I DO NOT see him as a horrible president. Since when did raggin' on the president all the time become patriotic. I don't listen to news as opinion but as fact. Many news sources do act as a political party and their full of deceiving opinion. Hey lets look at what Obama has walked into and at least give him credit for that. I'm not for or against, never was. I'll tell you what though, the way those Republicans act remind me of high school bullies. I DO NOT ever want Sarah Palin to run our country.

WOW You know what, George Bush has been out of Office now for better than a year. STOP BLAMING HIM. When Mr. Obama was Sworn in the Un-Enployment Rate was LESS than 10 %. NOW it's ABOVE that and RISING. You being from Michigan should be aware of that figure alone. What's the Un-Employment Rate in Mi. Today vs GB's tenure? You Don't think it's "FAIR" to Judge the "Messiah". That's what He was "Portrayed" as by the "Left Wingers". What does Sarah Palin have to do with the Judgement of Obama's first year in Office? He is the President NOT Sarah Palin. Besides, She has a better "Re'sume' than He will ever have. He was a "Social Worker/Community Activist card Carring Comunists vs Mayor/Governor Believer in Christ.

Sarah has nothing to do with Obama I didn't say she did. I never said I blamed Bush. Un-employment in MI. is the highest at 14.7%. Yes I'm aware. Why do you put so much into what was not said?

Who's "Raggin" on the Man... Just STATING FACT. Or is THAT something your "news/Opinion SOURCE" knows NOTHING about? A news source should be "just that" A NEWS SOURCE... NOT an OP ED Platform... There are enough of those out there.... Oh, did I forget? Sarah Palin CHOSE LIFE... Barak Obama VOTED FOR AND SUPPORTS LIFE ENDING ABORTION...
