Message From a Democratic Friend

The View is posting the message below because it raises an issue that has been bothering us for some time. There is so much that is not known about Barack Obama, who has emerged on the national political stage, seemingly from nowhere. Where did this guy come from? As a first term senator (and he has been running for president for most of that term), he lacks a record that would help voters discern just what it is he might do as president. I have listened to his speeches, watched the debates and read countless articles, all of which shows me a glib orator who provides little beyond broad generalities and platitudes, all designed to portray him as a moderate. Barack Obama is no moderate. He is one of the most liberal members of the senate.

The Obama campaign is bristling with indignation over what it terms "personal attacks." This is merely an attempt to deflect investigation into Obama's association with people like Bill Ayers, Jeremiah Wright and Tony Rezko. Then there's the Acorn connection that links him with this radical left-wing organization with no reluctance to break the law in order to advance their socialist agenda. The message below also looks at Obama's shady Mid-Eastern connections. Given the dearth of information about his background, it is essential to examine these associations to determine just what ideas he would bring to the presidency.

During the final debate last evening, there was one small glimmer of insight when Obama was quoted as he talked about the re-distribution of wealth, a classic socialistic concept. I think that anyone who takes the time to learn the truth about Obama will realize that his history of left-wing activism makes it extremely unlikely that he would govern as a moderate, but would become the most liberal president in modern times. And while this may actually appeal to our liberal friends, they might think again about the meaning of his links to Islamic extremism.

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 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 thistrip?

Neither 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 is not cheap! Where did the money come from 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 Chic ago. 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 is 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 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 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 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"!!!
