The Big Question

[Jo McDonald]

This was written with great concern and it is important to send this on so anyone who is open to ideas and wants what is best for our country can have good information to use when making up his or her mind regarding who to vote for.  This is not a political slant, but a REAL person doing research on an individual who thinks he can be in charge of our country.  Just read it and make your own decisions.
I looked on Snopes http://www.snopes.com/politics/obama/money.asp and they refute some of it, but don't mention his Middle-East employees and connections


Where Did He Get It?

This election has me very worried. So many things to consider. About a
year ago I would have voted for Obama. I have changed my mind three
times since than. 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 t here 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 coll ege, 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 Auc hi, 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 nothing
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
contributions 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 made 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 the BIG question - If I found out all this information on my own,
Why haven't all of our 'intelligent' members of the press been reporting this?


A phrase that keeps ringing in my ear - 'Beware of the enemy from within'!!!

A community organizer making 12,000 a year? 
Where DID he get the $$$?

[Catwoman]

Ah-ah-ah...now, no fair asking questions that the Obaminator will never answer!  Just change the subject and go on, please! lol

There were 156,000 jobs lost last month alone, and the big issue now is stuff like this? It smacks of desperation in the McCain campaign. And by the way-----Snopes says this is FALSE!!!!

[srkruzich]

Who guarantees that snopes is right?  So far no one that i can find.  If you can prove that snopes can't be influenced or bought off
then i might be willing to believe them.

[Jo McDonald]

What do you mean "stuff like this"  For Heaven's sake, don't you think anything is important in this election except -- don't treat him badly -- he is a good man -- he couldn't possibly have done any wrong things?  Get a life!!!!  Face facts, for a change.  Bring Hillary back, at least we know where she comes from.

Breath Granny, Breath.....relax and listen to some thunderstorm music....As blood pressure recedes, realize that you can lead a horse to the trough, but you cannot force it to drink.  Some people are fine with having their leg pissed on and being told it is raining, while others are not.

It isn't worth ruining your morning coffee....There is a wonderful, happy post in the coffee shop about the Moline library.  It will sooth you until you want more aggravation, then you can come back to politics!!

The loss of Jobs is not McCains fault.  The big problem with the US economy and the world economy is the high price of oil and that is not a George Bush or John McCain problem, that is more a result of Bill Clinton's big trade policies with the Chinese and others. It makes as much sense to say that John McCain is more of the same as to say Barack Obama is more of the same failures of Jimmy Carter and/or Bill Clinton. A lot of the Energy blame falls directly on the Democrats, the Democrats have been anti-energy forever, we are totally at the mercy of OPEC and the Non-Opec oil producers and that is the cause of our problem. We need to bring some of our manufacturing back home, increase our emphasis on increasing domestic oil production and alternate  energy. I still cannot see why anyone would look at the background of Barack Obama and be willing to take a chance on what this man can do to our nation.

OOPS clicked on the wrong spot! I agree tho.

I've been ridin the fence this whole campaign but if even HALF the things about Obama are true...............and it depends where ya look what's true and what ain't........but what if he gets elected and it IS true? What if he doesn't get elected and it's NOT true?

If there was a way to get up front and personal and talk to ANY candidate and judge for yourself it would be wonderful. You can't get a feelin for a person by listenin to the spin masters in the press. If you weren't actually present at any occasion there is really no way to tell who's tellin the truth and who ain't, all they do in speeches is spout what the campaign managers think will make the biggest impression.

They don't speak their own words so we never know what any of em are like till it's too late  They always say oh he's gonna raise taxes but NOT us. Bull, EVERYbody is gonna have to raise taxes this time! How else they gonna pay for this financial fiasco? Somebody needs to start talkin turkey....

Maybe everybody really SHOULD vote for Ralph Nader  Blow em BOTH off.....
