   IS THIS THE SAME OBAMA WHO HAS BEEN INSISTING THAT HE WAS THE CANDIDATE OF "CHANGE"?? I THINK OBAMA IS BEGINNING TO LOSE SOME OF HIS GLITTER AND THE GUY UNDERNEATH IS BEGINNING TO SHOW.

   obama lied in his book his father was married to 3 women at the same time and his father left his mother without divoreing her. He only went to live with his grandmother after his mother died of cancer. He changed faith after he married his wife which was his boss in the law firm he was working in . his mothers name was anna dunham.

   Fox, CNN, MSNBC will never mention this.

   It seems like they are cowards who will not tell the truth about Obama because they are afraid to be viewed as racist if they give Obama his due.

   He gets a free pass on almost every issue and Hillary has to fight the press daily.

   I think it makes Obama's case weaker when they let him skate.

   Nor will Fox, CNN, nor MSNBC mention this.

   From Opednews:

   Then there are Clinton's campaign donors. Any major candidate has some dubious supporters, but Clinton's gotten money from particularly noxious sources. Start with her donation from Rupert Murdoch, who's given to no other Democrat. Add in massive amounts of money from Washington lobbyists and from industries like defense, banking, health care, and oil and energy providers (though Obama's also gotten a lot from some of these industries). Then there's Norman Hsu, who brought in over $850,000 to Hillary's campaign after returning to the US following his flight to evade a fraud conviction (Hsu was subsequently rearrested, sentenced to three years, and is facing further federal charges, and the campaign eventually returned the money he'd raised). There's the Nebraska data processing company InfoUSA, whose CEO, Vin Gupta, used private corporate jets to fly the Clintons on business, personal, and campaign trips, gave Bill Clinton a $3.3 million consulting contract, and is now being investigated by the Securities and Exchange Commission for allegedly diverting company money to his own personal uses. Mississippi attorney Dickie Scruggs recently canceled a major December 15 Hillary fundraiser (with Bill Clinton headlining) after being indicted for trying to bribe a judge. Major international sweatshop owners, the Saipan-based Tan family, have given Clinton $26,000, complementing their previous massive support for Jack Abramoff and Tom Delay. That doesn't even count dubious supporters from the past, like Peter Paul, the convicted con-artist turned event producer who coordinated a massive Hollywood Clinton fundraiser during the 2,000 election. Taken together, it's a pretty tainted constellation of backers.

   Old news. The Clintons have been under the microscope like all other candidates, probably more.

   Barack Hussein Obama's closet door is just opening.

   "Selling drugs and using drugs no matter what age is a crime. Elect an addict - choose Barack Hussein Obama." - FOOTBALLFAN

   Just found this quote of yours from a few days ago. If you want to talk smack about addiction from a few decades ago, be prepared to talk about it now, today.

   The former President is a sex addict and his wife a co-addict showing all the typical pathologies of people NOT IN RECOVERY from their addictions.

   My problem was with the media calling it "youthful drug use". Tell that to a confused teen.
   Buying, selling and using drugs is a crime. Can you really argue that?

   The Media stopped calling it "youthful drug use" so it must have been an issue with a lot of people.

   Drug or alcohol abuse is not pretty, i dont care if its a presidential candidate or if they are running for city hall. It's a lot of baggage.

   Look how long we have been debating it right now.

    do what you will but in the interest of accuracy:

    Sen Obama's mother died in 1995. That would make him 34 years old at the time. He was sent to Hawaii, by his mother, when he was 10 to live with his grandparents for better educational opportunities.(att: army mom)

    Norman Hsu - on the way to jail for fraud (defrauding investors of $60 million) - bundled $850,000 to Sen Clinton's campaign this year. Sen Clinton said she would return the money or donate to charity (att: nurse ratchet)

    On MTP this morning Jon Meecham, editor of Newsweek said the one thing that unites the Republican field is "Hillary Clinton" (att: footballfan)

    Att: Patty Darling -- not sure what "Dreams of my Father you read" but the actual book said:
    (a) Barack Obama Sr (the sen father) was a Harvard Educated economist from Kenya
    (b) His parents met when they were both students at the East-West Center (your chronology is off on everything)
    (c) His father was a declared aetheist, his mother saw herself as "spititual" and while born a Christian - as many free spirits looked at many religions. Obama's grandparents who raised him were Christain
    (d) Obama was raised as a Christian since he was 10 years old, he joined the First Trinity Church in Chicago when he moved to Chicago in 1991
    (e) Yes he partied when he first got to College - he must be the only person that ever did that!
    He transferred from Occidental College to Columbia University as a Junior - partially to get away from the party scene he got himself into
    (f) yes he did inhale - as a teenager/noted above
    (g) The Flag Protection Act was in 1989. I would guess IF Obama was able to vote on it, he would have voted against it (which (like it or not) violated the Bill of Rights. As a constitutional attorney, Obama is a staunch defender of the Bill of Rights.
    The Senators who actually did vote against the Flag Protection Act were Democrats: Biden, Kennedy, Moynihan, (Bob) Kerrey, Chaffee, Humphrey, Metzenbaum as well as Republicans: Dole, Hatch, Grassley.

    In 2000, also before Obama was in the Senate - Senators Conrad & Dorgan tried to bring up the Flag Amendment again - but it did not go anywhere.

    In 2006, for a last time, this issue was brought up again: attached is link for all info

    http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?tit...

    People like Sen Inouye who lost an arm in WWII voted against this (as Sen Obama did)
    (h) yes he is against guns on the street - NOT guns for hunting (the position of most Americans)
    (i) yes he is against the death penalty (proven to be unfairly waited against people of color)
    ---------
    Do your research people -- then make a choice
    You may still feel as you do - but at least fo the research

    Not sure who you are, since your name doesn't show, but you should reread his book...... and recheck his record...

    For Obama's voting record go to obama.senate.gov. You will see that he seldom voted. I just checked the last 100 chances he had to vote and he failed to cast a vote 75 times. When he did vote, he voted against Head Start funding, health insurance for children of Social Security benefits. He also voted against health care for all children in the U.S. He voted against funding for additional care of pregnant women and infanst....instead he chose to give that million dollars to preserve Woodstock. He voted "Nay" to the bill requiring inspection of vehicles coming across our borders. But what a guy......he voted "Yea" to a study that would cause an investigation into criminal prosecutions. This guy is not for change....he is a closet republican. He obviously doesn't care for the children of our nation.

    Oh aw thank you for correcting me, obamas mother did die in 1995 from ovarian cancer. She sent him to live with his grandparents when he was 10, did you know that he used to refer to them as "white folk" now is that love or what. Obama claims his father was a atheist, but he was buried a muslim. I have been on the world wide web for the last 5 months reading everything i can find about barack hussien obama jr and his family, because i wanted to get to know the man before i judged him. I don't judge people by the color of their skin. But it sounds like you judge them by color and gender.
