Are Obama Supporters Defending Him At Any Cost , Or Are They Willing To Learn No Matter Where That Leads Them?
Hat-tip to Jeannie for bringing this to my attention . From Naomi Ragen: To All My Friends, This election has me very worried. So many things to consider. I watch all the news channels, jumping from one to another. I must say this drives my husband crazy. But, I feel if you view MSNBC, CNN, and Fox News, you might get some middle ground to work with. About six months ago, I started thinking "where did the money come from for Obama". I have four daughters who went to College, and we were middle class, and money was tight. We (including my girls) worked hard and there were lots of student loans. I started looking into Obama's life. Around 1979 Obama started college at Occidental in California . He is very open about his two years at Occidental, he tried all kinds of drugs and was wasting his time but, even though he had a brilliant mind, did not apply himself to his studies. "Barry" (that was the name he used all his life) during this time had two roommates, Muhammad Hasan Chandoo and Wahid Hamid, both from Pakistan . During the summer of 1981, after his second year in college, he made a "round the world" trip. Stopping to see his mother in Indonesia , next Hyderabad in India , three weeks in Karachi , Pakistan where he stayed with his roommate's family, then off to Africa to visit his father's family. My question - Where did he get the money for this trip? Nether I, nor any one of my children would have had money for a trip like this when they where in college. When he came back he started school at Columbia University in New York . It is at this time he wants everyone to call him Barack - not Barry. Do you know what the tuition is at Columbia ? It's not cheap! to say the least. Where did he get money for tuition? Student Loans? Maybe. After Columbia , he went to Chicago to work as a Community Organizer for $12,000. a year. Why Chicago ? Why not New York ? He was already living in New York . By "chance" he met Antoin "Tony" Rezko, born in Aleppo Syria , and a real estate developer in Chicago . Rezko has been convicted of fraud and bribery this year. Rezko, was named "Entrepreneur of the Decade" by the Arab-American Business and Professional Association". About two years later, Obama entered Harvard Law School . Do you have any idea what tuition is for Harvard Law School ? Where did he get the money for Law School ? More student loans? After Law school, he went back to Chicago . Rezko offered him a job, which he turned down. But, he did take a job with Davis, Miner, Barnhill & Galland. Guess what? They represented "Rezar" which Rezko's firm. Rezko was one of Obama's first major financial contributors when he ran for office in Chicago . In 2003, Rezko threw an early fundraiser for Obama which Chicago Tribune reporter David Mendelland claims was instrumental in providing Obama with "seed money" for his U.S. Senate race. In 2005, Obama purchased a new home in Kenwoood District of Chicago for $1.65 million (less than asking price). With ALL those Student Loans - Where did he get the money for the property? On the same day Rezko's wife, Rita, purchased the adjoining empty lot for full price. The London Times reported that Nadhmi Auchi, an Iraqi-born Billionaire loaned Rezko $3.5 million three weeks before Obama's new home was purchased. Obama met Nadhmi Auchi many times with Rezko. Now, we have Obama running for President. Valerie Jarrett, was Michele Obama's boss. She is now Obama's chief advisor and he does not make any major decisions without talking to her first. Where was Jarrett born? Ready for this? Shiraz, Iran! Do we see a pattern here? Or am I going crazy? On May 10, 2008 The Times reported, Robert Malley advisor to Obama was "sacked" after the press found out he was having regular contacts with "Hamas ", which controls Gaza and is connected with Iran . This past week, buried in the back part of the papers, Iraqi newspapers reported that during Obama's visit to Iraq , he asked their leaders to do nothing about the war until after he is elected, and he will "Take care of things". Oh, and by the way, remember the college roommates that where born in Pakistan ? They are in charge of all those "small" Internet campaign contribution for Obama. Where is that money coming from? The poor and middle class in this country? Or could it be from the Middle East ? And the final bit of news. On September 7, 2008, The Washington Times posted a verbal slip that was made on "This Week" with George Stephanapoulos. Obama on talking about his religion said, "My Muslim faith". When questioned, "he make a mistake". Some mistake! All of the above information I got on line. If you would like to check it - Wikipedia, encyclopedia, Barack Obama; Tony Rezko; Valerie Jarrett: Daily Times - Obama visited Pakistan in 1981; The Washington Times - September 7, 2008; The Times May 10, 2008. Now th This was posted in a far more learned forum and not one Obama supporter could dispute a single word of it .

all we learned so far is that republicans lack integrity and would stoop to the lowest level to bring an opponent down. it's truly pathetic.

nobody is going to read a rant like that no matter who you support. don't waste your time trying to tell the libs anything. they have been to heavily drugged.

Normally I wouldn't believe letters like this because they're one sided. But the contacts between Hamas and Obama have been made in other ways. Now it's Obama's turn. He needs to make the connection better than the way he did it when a Jew asked him this in an audience at one of his events.

Long, boring and stupid. Like John McCain's existence.

Many party supporters turn a blind eye to shortcomings as is evident with the election of GW Bush.

I couldn't agree with you more. This is the most scariest election of my adult life! I feel americans want change so bad that they might just get that change, but the wrong change. I am voting for McCain, and I am pretty conservative because I believe in working hard for your dollar and not to live off the government. My husband and I are students, but in the midst of all of this I maintain a FT job at the hospital and he works in construction PT. I would love to join amongst others that possibly could bring this campaign higher with John McCain. Do you know how to do that?

Naomi First, never site Wikipedia as a source for anything. It is a corrupt reference since it can be changed by literally anyone. Barry's background should be a concern to everyone. To add to your list of items, where did he live when attending Columbia. He has never cited an actual address only vague references to neighborhoods and streets. There are no gas, electric, cable or other records to support that he ever lived in NYC. Was he living WITH somone at the time? He talks in one of his many books about a drug addicted roomate but claims he never did drugs with him. Still cannot nail down an actual address. I have had to document my addresses for security clearances and mortgage loans. So why not Barry? This guy brings up way more questions than he has answers for.

You neglected to tell us where you copied this from, and there is zero support for all the innuendo and guesswork in it. You're right that nobody can dispute it, because all the claims are so vague and offer no proof.
10 :
He has said that he got student loans for Harvard Law School. But how did someone making only $12,000 per year as he says, get student loans for Harvard Law School? Did some of those you mentioned perhaps, vouch for him? I've only seen Sean Hannity do any kind of investigative reporting on Obama's questionable past. Where is the media on any of this?

Great question..Keep them coming send mail email to everyone you know , tell them to pass them on as well . This man has to be stopped he's a dangerous man. He associates himself with terrorists because they are funding his campaign, bought the house he lives in ,send him to harvard, gave him a recommendation as well for harvard. He hates America / Americans. he's a liar, and he's not worthy of being president of America. Obama supporters eyes and ears are shut tight, they will regret the day they voted for an anti American to run this country....Wake up people......bd

Sounds like he lived the American Dream to me. Muslim or not.

Lacking any link to your Neo-Con rant relegates your post to more of the McSame old lunacy of a campaign in a tailspin. Claiming it to come from a "learned forum" without a lnik? Get REAL!

PLEASE READ THIS (WITH LINK) "in fact, the record shows that the Man Who Would Be President was a not-very-bright Naval Academy student who preferred parties to studying and graduated fourth from the bottom of his Annapolis class; a mediocre pilot who crashed three jet fighters during training before being shipped out to ‘Nam where he crashed a fourth; an insubordinate junior officer who got shot down over Hanoi because he disobeyed direct orders to abandon his 23rd mission and return the A-4 Skyhawk he flew to the USS Forrestal; and, as a POW, willingly provided so much intelligence – admittedly, bits of it false – and co-operated so extensively with the North Vietnamese in exchange for favorable treatment over a three-year period that his fellow prisoners at the Hanoi Hilton gave him the derisive nickname “Songbird.†In propaganda aimed at the US, the North Vietnamese even used his nickname in a news release about McCain, not understanding it was an insult given him by prisoners who were disgusted by his behavior. Two former POWs, Air Force Colonels Ted Guy and Gordon “Swede†Larson, told the Phoenix New Times in 1999 that they doubted McCain was tortured or harmed while a prisoner. Both Guy and Larson were senior ranking officers in McCain’s POW camp at a time he claims he was in solitary confinement and being tortured. “Between the two of us, it’s our belief, and to the best of our knowledge, that no prisoner was beaten or harmed physically in (the Plantation),†Larson stated. “My only contention with the McCain deal is that while he was at the Plantation, he was not physically abused in any way. No one was in that camp.â€
