		<description>&quot;Look at his cabinet picks, for e.g.&quot; (Larry W.)

Larry, this is all smokescreen, how can you be so blind and naïve? 

Excerpts:

&quot;...President-elect Barack Obama is &quot;feigning&quot; a centrist position on some issues so he can ultimately push through a radical agenda, including universal health care and trimming the military, according to analysis by a founder of the Weathermen terror group, Mark Rudd, who has ties to Obama mentors.&quot; 

&quot;... Another top former Weathermen terrorist with ties to Obama mentors, Jeff Jones, concurred the president-elect will attempt major change, including &quot;redistributing financial resources downward.&quot; He called Obama&#039;s &quot;centrist&quot; appointments a &quot;smokescreen&quot; to &quot;co-opt the moderate center,&quot; declaring, &quot;even Lenin would be impressed!&quot; 

&quot;...In an article on the radical leftist Rag Blog, Rudd commented, &quot;Obama plays basketball. I&#039;m not much of an athlete, barely know the game, but one thing I do know is that you have to be able to look like you&#039;re doing one thing but do another. That&#039;s why all these conservative appointments are important: the strategy is feint to the right, move left. Any other strategy invites sure defeat. It would be stupid to do otherwise in this environment.&quot;

		<description>Mata, I said he published an article scathingly critical of affirmative action, not that he wrote it (which he didn&#039;t).  I&#039;ll look up the reference again and post it.

The point is that he&#039;s not a crusading liberal, out to bring back an  expansion of affirmative action, welfare, busing, and race warfare.  In 1991, while a law student at Harvard, even, he was, at most, a tepid supporter of affirmative action.  He&#039;ll continue to be, at most, a tepid supporter.

		<description>Larry, I believe that no one will ever be able to make you change your mind on Obama, you are obsessisvely in love with THE ONE.    

I will tell you WHO HE REALLY IS:

- A liar... so many lies it could fill up a complete book with 10 tomes.

- A flip-flopper... he changed his mind so often on so many things, that no one can keep track of it all.

- A manipulator... his skill for brainwashing a crowd and his fans is absolutely outstanding.   All the money he got from Fannie May.   He had the MSM shut up on every issue.   He got his wife the greatest paying jobs, etc

- A white people basher... his 20 years listening to Wright&#039;s speeches against white people, prooves it.    His constant &quot;racist calling&quot; every time someone ask him a question.

- An America hater... chosing Wright for his spiritual guide... Wright who&#039;s moto is &quot;God dam America&quot;.    He wants to change this country because he hates it the way it is.    His wife was never proud of America... but now she is because her husband his going for POTUS.

- An anti-Semite... his association with Louis Farrakan and Robert Manley, proves it.   The fact that he is a pro-palestinians also proves it.   And he wants to give Israel a nuclear shield, which means that he intends to let Iran get away with their nuclear program.

- A cheater... the way he made sure to be the only candidate for the Senate seat in Illinois and toss the other women candidate so he would have no other opponent on the ballot vote.

- A fraud... he will not present his birth certificate, neither his medical record, nor his records of Harvard and list of the donors in this past election.

- A socialist... He was once member of the Socialist Party.

- A Marxist and communist... all his past associations are either Marxists or communists.

- A radical... his association with Ayers and Odinga.

- A crook... his association with the corrupted Chicago Maffia and Resko proves it.   His Acorn and fraudulent votes.

- A narcissist... that you already know... he pretends he is tossing everybody under the bus... but he is not... he will go back to them as soon as he needs them.  This is all an &quot;ego trip&quot;, he wants to be the most famous people in the world and he will after he change this capitalist country into a communist country.

- A big spender of other&#039;s people money... 700 million $ he spent for his campaign...   one million $ for his lawyers so he won&#039;t have to present his BC and others reports... and all the money he promised to his fans should he become POTUS.

- The most liberal politician of all time... it is well known and well documented.

- A &quot;Ponce Pilate&quot; ... he is never responsible for nothing... he votes &quot;present&quot;... he always washes the mud off his hands.

- The most inexperience candidate of all time... he has accomplish nothing so far.

I could go on and on &quot;ad vitam aeternam&quot; till &quot;ad nauseam&quot;, but I think you got my point so far.</description>

&lt;blockquote&gt;4. He published a major essay which was scathingly critical of affirmative action.&lt;/blockquote&gt;

You might want to correct yourself there, Larry.  Obama is, and has always been a supporter of affirmative action.  Even from the article you linked...

&lt;blockquote&gt;... I never regarded him as kind of a racial special pleader, or a person looking for race-based benefits, either for himself or others. I think &lt;b&gt;as a policy matter, he supported affirmative action and believed in the arguments for it. &lt;/b&gt;But unlike many people on the left, he was also willing to acknowledge that it had costs, and he could at least appreciate the arguments on the other side. ...

&lt;i&gt;Bradford Berenson   Harvard Law, class of &#039;91; 
associate White House counsel, 2001-&#039;03&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;

When he was expected to participate in the heated affirmative action debates and events on the Harvard campus, he did what he is famous for... he &quot;voted present&quot;.  Again from Berenson:

&lt;blockquote&gt;... Interestingly, race was at the forefront of the agenda. There were intense debates over affirmative action that sometimes got expressed through fights over tenure decisions relating to junior faculty at the law school. There were women professors and minority professors who either had come up for tenure or were coming up for tenure, and there were big fights, on the faculty and in the law school at large, over whether they should receive tenure, whether the quality of their scholarship merited that. ...

[A]fter [Obama] became president of the Review, he was under a lot of pressure to participate and lend his voice to those debates. And he did, &lt;b&gt;I think, to some degree.&lt;/b&gt; But I would not have described him as a campus radical or a campus political leader. He was the president of the Harvard Law Review, the leader of that organization. But, in that role, his job was to manage, in essence, a publication, and the editors who brought it forth and to do a lot of close editing of academic legal articles. …&lt;/blockquote&gt;

&quot;I think&quot;... &quot;to some degree&quot;?  Hardly assertive statements for Obama becoming involved in the affirmative action debate... of which he was clearly on the side in favor.

Add his current stance in support not only of affirmative action, but wanting to increase the beneficiaries to include even more, and I fail to see any instance where he wrote anything &quot;scathingly critical of affirmative action&quot;.  If so, he was doing it as a matter of political expediency for a particular audience.  Because this is not his historic belief, nor in keeping with his past actions.</description>

		<description>The problem with the study of Obama&#039;s history Larry is the vast majority of it has been filtered, blocked, and locked up from the public eye, as has been continuously pointed out here. It is impossible to &quot;know&quot; him with that amount of censorship. There is nothing to go on except that which squeezes through the cracks of control on his records, or word of mouth reminiscing, which is what I found in the link you specifically point out. In addition, there is the unprecedented and intensive filtering and censorship of all information concerning Obama by the majority of media sources as well. And I&#039;m sorry, but PBS is just as liberally biased in my book, if not more so, than the vast majority of the mainstream media. You can&#039;t possible claim to know him and neither can anyone else here for that matter. How can anyone possibly see through all of the fluff to ascertain the &quot;genuine article&quot; that is the true Obama? Never has so much informational control been exerted to the benefit of any other single public figure. So I think it is only natural to be skeptical and pessimistic at this point. 

There are known links to his connection with socialist Soros, and he associates with those who use the Alinsky way to corrupt the minds of children via the school systems (Ayers) in programs of an organization he was involved with, yet you continue to refuse to accept any possibility that he might go that route. Even with fellow Soros disciple Hillary and several former Clinton admin people becoming part of his own admin, many of which were part of the DSA.

I agree he doesn&#039;t seem to me to be in part of the Black Power extreme, yet his wife is a staunch advocate of Black Power and for using militant means to achieve it if necessary, as is his associate Louis Farrakhan, and his preacher for 20 years enjoins his faithful with the sermons for black supremacy. You don&#039;t see that as a possibility. I can&#039;t really say yeah or nay as there just isn&#039;t sufficient record to go by.

Granted, you do accept that he is mainly in it for only himself, his ego, and has no problem utilizing the corrupt methodology of &quot;Chicago politics&quot; to his advantage, to which I agree. Yet, I&#039;m not sure if you would consider criminal means such as those practiced by the associates he rose through the ranks with and was in mutual support of, to include; Rezco and Blagojevitch to be things Obama would be capable of resorting to. I on the other hand would not put it past him.

In consideration of his constant flip-flops, I do think that his outward actions, meaning those that will make it through media filters and censorship, will show that like Clinton he will govern by the polls. But what deeply concerns me is the damage that will be done behind closed doors, in secret deals and meetings, pay by play etceteras, both foreign and domestic that might undermine our country, our economy, our sovereignty, our Constitution, our individual rights, etceteras, and that we will not be made privy to until it is too late and perhaps irreversible.

We don&#039;t know his record, it is impossible to gauge what he might do in any given circumstance, and you need to accept that the vast majority of us simply do not trust him because we&#039;ve caught him in numerous lies already. We don&#039;t envision him leading us down some rosy path to a bright and shiny future. Too much information of vital importance, which we have every right to know, is being blocked from review and we don&#039;t like the idea of the fate of this country being left up to chance. So I must respectively agree to disagree and submit that I will not go so willingly into that dark of night and partake of the Koolaid of forgetfulness. You people want to change our opinions of him? The only way that could have happened is if he had been forthright from the onset. 

It&#039;s too late now. he&#039;s had too much time that could have been invested in rewriting his own history, falsifying records, etceteras. Even if he handed over a Hawaiian long form birth certificate and hospital records that could be proven scientifically to be printed on paper dating to 1961&#039;s, it would not remove the shadow of doubt. Even old documents can be altered in the same manner criminals use to &quot;wash checks&quot;. And we already know he is party to corrupt politicians, who may well have criminal ties running deep to organizations that can supply anything one might want for a price.</description>

		<description>I base my opinion not on wishful thinking, but on a careful study of the life of the President-elect. It would be very helpful for those of you who have such certitude that Obama is going to govern as a radical leftist, and promote black power entitlement, to actually spend a little time studying his history, as well.

Here&#039;s probably the best source I can recommend: one stop shopping for the formative life of Barack Obama:

http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/pages/frontline/choice2008/view/3.html

Note that, among other things:

1. He was elected President of the Harvard Law Review by convincing Conservatives that their point of view would get a fair shake.

2. He followed through on this and his character and governance were praised by a prominent conservative classmate of his, who later served as a White House lawyer for the Bush 43 administration.

3. He angered black students by only appointing a single black to a masthead position.

4. He published a major essay which was scathingly critical of affirmative action.

There is a lot more.  I hope that you&#039;ll make the effort to read it for yourself and also to view the linked PBS election eve special, which was an extensive biography on the respective lives of Obama and McCain.

If you have the patience only to read part of it, read the comments of Bradford Berenson mid-way down the page at the following link:

		<description>I think the playing of the &quot;race card&quot; for this Inauguration Day, make that Inauguration Week. really has very little to do with Barrack, aside from earning him more PR points with the black community so he can point his nose even higher into the air, if that&#039;s at all possible, and look down it to everyone else who is not &quot;a God&quot;. After all, Barry&#039;s heredity has been studied &amp; he is only 6% Black, the remainder of his lineage is White or Arab. 

If you read her thesis, it&#039;s easy to see that Michelle really believes that racism is as real and strong as it ever was in this country. Even when the overwhelming majority of those she polled told her she was wrong, she was still remained unconvinced. Instead of living her life as she would claim everyone should she &quot;looks for racism&quot;. I mean REALLY LOOKS for it, and if she doesn&#039;t see it, she still convinces herself it&#039;s there even when it&#039;s not. That&#039;s what happens when you buy into a hype so deeply that it rules your life.  

I think this has more to do with appeasing Michelle&#039;s own personal psychological &quot;issues&quot;. There is a section of the &quot;Black Power&quot; movement of the sixties surviving today with whom it was never about equality, it was about inequality and dishing out some payback. They demand reparations for something they were never personally a part of, affirmative action should go on forever, and they must have preferential treatment in the courts by way of so called &quot;hate crime&quot; legislation. It&#039;s, &quot;black first now baby, all you others are second, and the crackers can go away and we&#039;ll call you in when it&#039;s time to clean up.&quot; 

As Mata pointed out, the Democratic answer to black pilots was segregation. FDR, a Democrat and socialist, created the Tuskegee Airmen. Yet before that time and since in America typically we fought alongside brothers in arms from other races. The Democrat segregationalists of the mid 20th century attempted the same when it came to civil rights. And even today you can see something similar in play in Democrat urban districts with planned parenthood and their abortion agendas. The point has been argued here before that the Democratic Party has never been the uniters they try to present themselves to be.</description>
