This was sent to me by a co-worker. Some of the links, such as those digging into his citizenship--well, I put those aside. There are far more things to be concerned about at this point. The big factors to me are: the balance of power (or lack thereof with a Pelosi controlled Congress), the Fairness Doctrine, foreign policy, his previous voting record/political history and of course, "redistributing the wealth".

I hope this post complies with C-D's TOS. I've tried to link everything.

Getting to know the real Barack Obama



THE ECONOMY AND THE ELECTIONS

Did Obama play a role in the economic conditions that have engulfed our country? Is it a coincidence that our economic troubles have made his candidacy running on hope and change so appealing? Who is really responsible - Bush, the republicans, the democrats, or capitalism gone wild?

YouTube - Burning Down The House: What Caused Our Economic Crisis? Bombshell

Is there really a valid connection between Obama and the ACORN group responsible for widespread voter fraud? Did Obama and ACORN actually have a hand in forcing banks to offer risky loans, thereby precipitating foreclosures?


YouTube - Barack Obama Trained ACORN Staff In How To Intimidate Banks Into Giving Subprime Loans. Barack Obama—A Thug With A Law Degree

O'S DANGEROUS PALS - New York Post

THE SOCIALISM CONNECTION

Is there any real evidence to the allegations that Obama has a Marxist/communist background and may have these principles as a hidden agenda? Is anything wrong with that? What was the New Party and unconstitutional "fusion"?

Politically Drunk On Power!: Web Archives Confirm Barack Obama Was Member Of Socialist 'New Party' In 1996

October 1996 Update

Did he ever espouse the Marxist "redistribution of wealth" principle publicly? Is there really any harm in taking from the rich to give to the poor?

American Thinker Blog: Obama 2001: Scrap the Constitution, spread the wealth

Are there any similarities between Obama's platform and Marxist goals? Is this merely a coincidence? Who is Obama's Marxist mentor Alinsky, and what does he believe?

THE MYSTERY OF OBAMA

Who is Obama really? Why is there such a mystery surrounding his actual birthplace, ethnicity, and religion? Is there any truth to the allegations that he was born in Kenya, is actually Arab-American, and was once a practicing and devoted Muslim as he has persistently denied? Does this raise any other questions? Should any of this really matter?

Reading Between the Lines: Post, Tribune: Is Obama really African-American?


YouTube - Obama Is A Muslim - 36 Facts - Part 1 / Video

ISLAMIC CONCERNS

Is it true that socialist Libyan leader Al-Qadhafi actually called Obama his "brother," recognizes Obama as a Muslim, knows of other Islamic nations supporting him, and believes (according to Islamic tradition) that lying is permissible to get elected?

Who is Obama's cousin, Kenya leader Odinga? Did Obama have anything to do with the rioting, genocide, establishment of Islamic law, and the burning to death of Christians in churches following his visit there? Did we really pay for that trip with our tax dollars?

OBAMA'S CITIZENSHIP

Is the court case against Obama regarding his citenship status a smear campaign? Are there any actual documents to support those claims? Is it legal for a non-citizen to run for President of the United States?

Photo Documents Barry Soetoro: Indonesian Citizen, Muslim Religion [Re-Posted] « td blog


YouTube - Obama Citizenship: I Invented The Internet (Ep. 6: October Surprise)

HIS LIBERATION THEOLOGY

What is Black Liberation Theology? Is it Marxist? Why is that relevant to understanding the goals and motives of Obama's campaign? Note: the video link covers much ground. The theology question is presented in the second half.

Faultline USA: Obama’s Marxist Liberation Theology Church

http://www.eyeblast.tv/public/video.aspx?v=Q4IrVrkU

Does it seem strange that Obama's pastor for 20 years believes, like Al-Qadhafi, it is permissable for Obama to lie to get elected? What other questions should this raise? (Pastor Wright's comment regarding this is at 5:23 into the video).


YouTube - Jeremiah Wright Press Club 1of3 Q&A 28th April

ABORTION

Did Obama really make an oath that he will sign the Freedom of Choice Act into law? How important is this?


YouTube - Barack Obama, Planned Parenthood, and FOCA

What is the Freedom of Choice Act, and would it really wipe out all legal restrictions to partial birth abortion, parental consent laws, tax-funded abortions, the Born Alive Infant Protection Act, and more?

Family Research Council

What is the Born Alive Infant Protection Act? Why did Obama prevent it from being passed in Illinois? Why are people calling this infanticide?


YouTube - I Invented the Internet (Ep. 4: Kill and Destroy)

Was it really Planned Parenthood who led Obama to vote "present" so many times?

Washington Post, "The Fact Checker"

FREE SPEECH

What is the democrat sponsored Fairness Doctrine? Would it really put an end to conservative talk-radio and other media outlets including web content? Would Pelosi and a democrat-controlled congress make this into law?

Washington Times - EDITORIAL: 'Fairness' is censorship

What does Robert McDowell, the FCC Commissioner think of the Fairness Doctrine? Will the bill be camouflaged by democrats to become law without the public's knowledge?

No one other than the most rabid McCain fan is going to go through all these links, and those people are already in the bag (or at least you would think).

Default I'm not one bit surprised by the rude attacks on you

The obamaobots can't stand to hear the truth about their messiah. I think even they might find it scary. He's not had to answer one hard, legitimate question this entire election cycle and his followers can't bear the thought of this as they'd actually have to come out of their haze and think. Thanks for the post!

I've seen people in both camps on this forum get pretty rude but I'd have to give the gold medal to the Obama supporters over the McCain supporters for the sheer volume of name calling, rudeness, temper tantrums, etc. I've had to report at least one post on this thread already. It was a personal attack on me. Not necessary and very kindergarten-ish. Criticize the post all you want. Live and let live.

Advice to you! I am not voting for either clown but if you really want to convince someone about who the "real" Barack Obama, please get some new talking points!. All this junk you posted has been discussed at least 1000 times for the last year. It just get so annoying when you hear the same crap everyday, over and over and over. If I was given a dime everytime Sean Hannity says "Bill Ayers", I would be a billionaire! Please change the broken record!

As someone from Chicago who knows all about Obama, I find it so humorous that his supporters try and explain it all away.

Definitely the easy way out. To believe otherwise would require critical thinking.

I guess I am too much of an independent thinker to be impressed by the scripted smooth talk (total BS), the quiet demeanor, the Greek columns, the celebrity endorsements and the media manipulation and hype.

Seems I have been focusing on his complete lack of experience, his many lies and total lack of character. Silly me.

As long as the Republican Party caters to and sucks up to the radicals I will never vote for any Republican. Religious Radicals are ugly, hateful beasts. They try to mix politics with religion...just like radical groups like the Taliban and Al Qaeda. Just because these radically religious groups are in America it doesn't make them any less scary than radical muslims. We have lots of religious terrorists that are American born and bred...they bomb abortion clinics, kill doctors and harass women. As long as the Republicans represent crackpots they can't ever represent me.

Bullcrap. You don't "know all about Obama." And you want to talk lies? Go listen to that racist and character-less piece of work named Palin, who is dividing this nation through hatred on a daily basis.
