The illustrious life of Hussein Obama (cont)
2007 On March 7th, Obama was on the defensive over stock purchases from companies whose investors included his political donors. A hustle here -- a hustle there
2007 In March, Obama tells the Muscatine, Illinois Dhimmicratic party activists that he supports relaxing restrictions on aid to the Palestinian people. He said they have suffered the most as a result of stalled peace efforts with Israel. "Nobody is suffering more than the Palestinian people." Showing his Muslim/Palestinian solidarity
2007 Obama, asked if homosexuality was immoral, in the wake of comments by Joint Chiefs of Staff chairman General Peter Pace (3/12), sidestepped the question. After pressure from gay groups, Obama issued a statement stating he did not agree with Pace "that homosexuality is immoral."
2007 An analysis of "lifetime voting records," shows Obama as the most liberal dhimmicrat in Congress, with a score of 84.3 after two full years in the Senate. The most liberal score possible was 99.
(RADICAL, RADICAL LEFT)
The study, released in March by the National Journal, a respected inside-the-Beltway research report, places Obama even in front of Dennis Kucinich, with a lifetime score of 79.4. Most liberal member of Congress
2007 Obama's picture is currently displayed on the page banner of Project Islamic H.O.P.E.

2007 On March 25th, the Chicago Tribune reports that an extensive search found no basis for an episode Obama recounts about a picture he ran across in Life magazine of a "black man who had tried to peel off his skin" in a failed effort to use chemicals to lighten it. Obama writes that "seeing that article was violent for me, an ambush attack."
The Tribune continued: "Yet no such Life issue exists, according to historians at the magazine. No such photos, no such article. When asked about the discrepancy, Obama said in a recent interview, 'It might have been an Ebony or it might have been ... who knows what it was?' (At the request of the Tribune, archivists at Ebony searched their catalogue of past articles, none of which matched what Obama recalled.)" LIAR LIAR, pants on fire
2007 Obama, tells the crowd at fundraiser , "I was a constitutional law professor, which means unlike the current president I actually respect the Constitution."
For the record, Obama is a "Senior Lecturer (on leave of absence)" at the University of Chicago Law School. He has taught Constitutional Law III: Equal Protection and Substantive Due Process, Current Issues in Racism & the Law, and Voting Rights & the Democratic Process. Pump-up the resume
2007 On April 4th, Obama's campaign announces that they raked in $25 million for his presidential bid in the first three months of 2007, placing him on a par with front-runner Hillary Rodham Clinton and dashing her image as the party's inevitable nominee. And the link is to al Jazeera
2007 Obama, speaking to a small group of Democratic activists in Muscatine on April 8th, was quoted in the Des Moines Register as saying, "Nobody is suffering more than the Palestinian people." Muslim sensitivity
2007 On April 9th, the DrudgeReport releases a snapshot of Sen. Barack Obama (D-IL) and his chief political/media adviser David Axelrod having a meeting in the Senator’s Capitol Hill office.
ROLL CALL reports that Congressional ethics rules forbid the use of federal office space for political and campaign activity.

2007 "The sun is shining on me, that's what's going on." Lordy, save us!
2007 'We don't care about the world as it is, we imagine the world as it might be. We want to write a new chapter,'" Obama told the crowd. "That is the moment that we are in right now." What does this mean?
2007 Obama endorses "comparable worth," a truly bad idea. In case you don't know what comparable worth is, it's an idea concocted by feminists in the 1970s or early 1980s. They said that jobs typically held by women pay less than jobs typically held by men.
To eliminate this inequity, somebody–the courts, maybe, or some administrative agency, presumably with appeals to the courts–should decide what those jobs were really worth, based on some sort of convoluted criteria. So that it could be possible to prove that secretaries were of comparable worth to truck drivers and should be paid the same wages.
Comparable worth would subject the private-sector economy to the equivalent of the federal civil service system. Bureaucrats would have to classify every job, with their classifications subject to administrative and judicial review. More socialism from "the blessed one"
2007 From the New York Times, "Mr. Obama has written that when he became a Christian, he 'felt God’s spirit beckoning' and 'submitted myself to His will and dedicated myself to discovering His truth.' While he has said he shares core Christian beliefs in God and in Jesus as his resurrected son." Why has there been no Fatwah?
2007 The New York Times reports on its front page today (4/30) about Obama's strained relationship with his pastor, also known as his "spiritual mentor." The Times does tend to downplay some of the harsher statements that Pastor Wright has made about Israel, Wright's support for Louis Farrakhan; trips to Libya and more. A I wrote over a month ago:
Pastor Wright is also a supporter of Louis Farrakhan, and in 1984 traveled with him to visit Col. Muammar al-Gadaffi, an archenemy of Israel's and America and a firm supporter of terror groups.
Wright has also been a severe critic of Israel. In his own words:
"The Israelis have illegally occupied Palestinian territories for almost 40 years now. It took a divestment campaign to wake the business community up concerning the South Africa issue. Divestment has now hit the table again as a strategy to wake the business community up and to wake Americans up concerning the injustice and the racism under which the Palestinians have lived because of Zionism." Pastor Wright is very wrong -- so is Obama
2007 May: Obama receives Secret Service protection -- earliest ever. To protect him from radical Muslims -- I don't think so!
2007 On May 8th, Obama, caught up in the fervor of a campaign speech Tuesday, drastically overstated the Kansas tornadoes death toll, saying 10,000 had died.
The death toll was 12.
"In case you missed it, this week, there was a tragedy in Kansas. Ten thousand people died—an entire town destroyed," the Democratic presidential candidate said in a speech to 500 people packed into a sweltering Richmond art studio for a fundraiser.
His excuse for this blunder was, "There are going to be times when I get tired," he said. "There are going to be times when I get weary. There are going to be times when I make mistakes." Obama is the youngest candidate running and he "was tired."
How would he respond to a terror attack if he so easily tires?
2007 On May 10th, Obama botched his facts in a speech criticizing the U.S. auto industry for "investing in bigger and faster cars while foreign competitors invested in more fuel-efficient technology." Obama stated that "while our fuel standards haven't moved from 27.5 miles per gallon in two decades, both China and Japan have surpassed us, with Japanese cars now getting an average of 45 miles to the gallon." But Toyota, which should know, has responded that "No carmaker gets 45 m.p.g; ours is closer to 30 m.p.g." LIAR LIAR, pants on fire
Actually, it is beginning to appear that Obama is either an idiot or a liar -- you chose.
2007 Related -- Obama spent the better part of his remarks criticizing US automakers for not building more hybrid vehicles like Toyota and Honda.
Well, we're glad to see Obama's shifting the blame from the consumer to the automakers. That must explain why the Illinois Senator and Presidential candidate owns a HEMI-powered V8 Chrysler 300C.
Obviously it's Chrysler's fault Obama bought a big 5.7-liter engine from them -- he just didn't have a choice. Hypocrisy alert!
2007 John McCain responded to Obama's recent remarks in tough enough, if predictable, language:
"While Senator Obama's two years in the U.S. Senate certainly entitle him to vote against funding our troops, my service and experience combined with conversations with military leaders on the ground in Iraq lead me to believe that we must give this new strategy a chance to succeed because the consequences of failure would be catastrophic to our nation's security."
But, McCain being McCain, he can't help himself and goes the next step in the statement's kicker:
"By the way, Senator Obama, it's a 'flak' jacket, not a 'flack' jacket."
Which is to say, "there is only one of us in this argument who has ever worn the uniform." (my words)
And if you still don't get it, a McCain aide blows away the anthill with, well, a rocket.
"Obama wouldn't know the difference between an RPG and a bong." John McCain attacks Obama's spelling and lack of military experience.
2007 Seeking to add heft to his presidential bid, Democrat Barack Obama is offering a sweeping plan that would require every American to have health coverage and calls on government, businesses and consumers to share the costs of the program. Not surprising that a socialist would push for socialized medicine.
2007 Presidential candidate Barack Obama will give $16,500 in contributions linked to an indicted donor to charity, part of the Democrat's effort to distance himself from a friend and fundraiser.
The donations came from two Chicago businessmen who worked with indicted entrepreneur Antoin "Tony" Rezko, Obama's friend since his Harvard days and financial beard in the purchase of Obama's home and property.
Rezko has pleaded not guilty to charges that he shook down investment firms that wanted to do business with the state of Illinois. Obama last year gave charities $11,500 to clear his campaign fund of donations that had come directly from Rezko. Bet he doesn't give the property back!
2007 In June, it was revealed that Barack Obama wrote letters to city and state officials supporting his political patron Tony Rezko's successful bid to get more than $14 million from taxpayers to build apartments for senior citizens when he was an Illinois state senator.
The deal included $855,000 in development fees for Rezko and his partner, Allison S. Davis, Obama's former boss, according to records from the project, which was four blocks outside Obama's state Senate district.
Obama's letters, written nearly nine years ago, for the first time show the Democratic presidential hopeful did a political favor for Rezko -- a longtime friend, campaign fund-raiser and client of the law firm where Obama worked -- who was indicted last fall on federal charges that accuse him of demanding kickbacks from companies seeking state business under Gov. Blagojevich.
Just payback for the Rezko/Obama real estate swindle
(See 2005 -- above)
2007 Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama, on Monday (6/19), said his campaign made a "dumb mistake" when it circulated a memo criticizing rival Hillary Rodham Clinton's financial ties to India.
In an interview with The Associated Press, Obama disavowed the memo which carried the headline — "Hillary Clinton (D-Punjab) — and referred to Bill and Hillary Clintons' investments in India; her fundraising among Indian-Americans; and the former president's $300,000 in speech fees from Cisco, a company that has moved U.S. jobs to India.
"It was a dumb mistake on our campaign's part and I made it clear to my staff in no uncertain terms that it was a mistake," Obama told the AP in a brief interview in which he referred to the memo as "unnecessarily caustic." He doesn't read his own campaign propaganda?
I doubt that!
2007 Despite often-lofty rhetoric that he plans to bring the nation a ''new kind of politics,'' Sen. Barack Obama has surrounded himself with operatives skilled in the old-school art of the political back stab. Yet when Obama was criticized this week for opposition research memos critical of Sen. Hillary Clinton's ties to India and Indian-Americans, he was quick to blame his staff. /snip/ It was at least the third time since February the Illinois Democrat has blamed his staff for a glitch. Blames others -- sounds like the Clintons.
2007 Sen. Barack Obama told a church convention Saturday that some right-wing evangelical leaders have exploited and politicized religious beliefs in an effort to sow division.
"Somehow, somewhere along the way, faith stopped being used to bring us together and faith started being used to drive us apart," the Democratic presidential candidate said in a 30-minute speech before the national meeting of the United Church of Christ. Like the UCC is a real Christian Church?
See the anti-Israeli remarks of its pastor above (April 30)
2007 During his 12 years in politics, Sen. Barack OBAMA HAS RECEIVED NEARLY THREE TIMES MORE CAMPAIGN CASH FROM INDICTED BUSINESSMAN AND ARAB-AMERICAN ACTIVIST, TONY REZKO and his associates than he has publicly acknowledged, the Chicago Sun-Times has found.
Seven months ago, Obama told the Sun-Times his "best estimate" was that Rezko raised "between $50,000 and $60,000" during Obama's political career.
However, Obama has collected at least $168,308 from Rezko and his circle. Obama also has taken in an unknown amount of money from people who attended fund-raising events hosted by Rezko since the mid-1990s.
The deal included $855,000 in development fees for Rezko and his partner, Allison S. Davis, Obama's former boss, according to records from the project, which was four blocks outside Obama's state Senate district.
Obama's letters, written nearly nine years ago, for the first time show the Democratic presidential hopeful did a political favor for Rezko -- a longtime friend, campaign fund-raiser and client of the law firm where Obama worked -- who was indicted last fall on federal charges that accuse him of demanding kickbacks from companies seeking state business under Gov. Blagojevich. LIAR, LIAR, pants on fire
2007 Muslim Americans for Obama '08' features the masthead comment, "DONATE TODAY: One $1 DOLLAR for ONE NATION UNDER GOD"
In case there is any doubt as to which "God" these folks are speaking of, the first two paragraphs make it abundantly clear.
With God's Name ~ Quran 49:13 Oh Mankind! We have created you male and female, and have made you nations and tribes that you may know one another. The best of you, in the sight of God, is the best in conduct. Allah is the best knower, aware.
Barack Obama
