The Real Barack Obama
A Democratic strategist was quoted as saying recently: “Everyone knows the history of the Clintons.”
Of course he’s right, and it’s a history that we should never forget. But if you don’t know the history of Barack Obama, you should take the time to acquaint yourself with his baggage.
He’s not just a pretty face, a transformational candidate with a wonderful speaking voice. Barack Obama is Anti-mainstream America. Maybe that is what compels so many to pledge their support for him. But you ought to know, the company a person keeps is important, and some of the company Obama has kept is seriously problematic.
We’ve all heard stories about his book, and his unconventional upbringing in
But is Barack, the man he says he is? He’s been honest about his background, but it doesn’t seem like he is the guy who is most in touch with the blue-collar worker, or the downtrodden minority–the man who’s come to unite
When you couple his unconventional upbringing with his personal accomplishments: trained as a lawyer, a Harvard Law School Graduate, and president of the Harvard Law Review, Barack Obama is inaccessible to the common man.
Perhaps you’ve heard some of the controversy surrounding Barack’s minister, Jeremiah Wright, a man who has spewed hate filled diatribes from the pulpit. If this long-term association doesn’t convince you, even more alarming is how Obama brushed off his association with the Weather Underground. These were domestic terrorists who actually killed Americans on American soil. Obama spent years in the same law firm with William Ayers, a member of this group, and both men even helped one another with fund raising.
While the Weather Underground’s acts occurred years ago, we must hold people accountable for their associations. I can serve in the senate alongside someone with completely opposing views, because that is how the senate works. But I don’t have to work in a law firm with someone who I should not be associating with in public or in private. I can be in the same movie theater with someone controversial and not know it, but to spend years in a church that encourages not only anti-American, but also anti-biblical attitudes is problematic.
If you are determined to vote for Obama, please listen to Hugh Hewitt’s broadcast of Tuesday April 22, 2008. The footage you will hear is real, and is not trumped up misinformation. It is true, shocking, and eye-opening. Go to Townhall.com and check out the podcast. You should and must know more about the real Barack Obama. He may be the transformational candidate, but not transformational in a healthy way for
Hillary is a better choice for the Democrats in the general election and they should realize it. Better yet, even another candidate could be better for the Democrats than either of these two.
