Who is Barack Obama?

Something that should be considered when you make your choice. We checked this out on " snopes.com". It is factual. Check for yourself.

Who is Barack Obama?

Probable U. S. presidential candidate, Barack Hussein Obama was born in Honolulu, Hawaii, to Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., a black MUSLIM from Nyangoma-Kogel, Kenya and Ann Dunham, a white Athiest from Wichita, Kansas.

Obama's parents met at the University of Hawaii. When Obama was two years old, his parents divorced. His father returned to Kenya.

His mother then married Lolo Soetoro, a RADICAL Muslim from Indonesia. When Obama was 6 years old, the family relocated to Indonesia. Obama attended a MUSLIM school in Jakarta. He also spent two years in a Catholic school.

Obama takes great care to conceal the fact that he is a Muslim. He is quick to point out that, "He was once a Muslim, but that he also attended Catholic school."

Obama's political handlers are attempting to make it appear that he is not a radical. Obama's introduction to Islam came via his father, and that this influence was temporary at best.

In reality, the senior Obama returned to Kenya soon after the divorce, and never again had any direct influence over his son's education.

Lolo Soetoro, the second husband of Obama's mother, Ann Dunham, introduced his stepson to Islam. Obama was enrolled in a Wahabi school in Jakarta.

Wahabism is the RADICAL ISLAMIC teaching that is followed by the Muslim terrorists who are now waging Jihad against the western world.

Since it is politically expedient to be a CHRISTIAN when seeking major public office in the United States, Barack Hussein Obama has joined the United Church of Christ in an attempt to downplay his Muslim background.

ALSO, keep in mind that when he was sworn into office he DID NOT use the Holy Bible, but instead the Koran.

Barack Hussein Obama will NOT recite the Pledge of Allegience nor will he show any reverence for our flag. While others place their hands over their hearts, Obama turns his back to the flag and slouches. Let us all remain alert concerning Obama's expected presidential candidacy.

The Muslims have said they plan on destroying the US from the inside out, what better way to start than at the highest level - through the President of the United States, one of their own!!!!

Would you want this man leading our country?...... NOT ME!!!

The previous post is a verbatim copy of a vicious email being circulated by nasty individuals the country wide. Before I post a response from the Huffington Post, I feel I have to make a statement:

I find it truly frightening to think that decisions WE have made for our son could possibly be held against him 30 years from now. He had no say in what he was named; that was OUR decision. He had no say in where he goes to school; that was OUR decision. He had no say in his religious upbringing; that was OUR decision. It's very, very scary to think that decisions WE are making for our son, could be used for political propaganda in the future.

Now for the Huffington Post response:

U.S. Sen. Barack Obama spent a half-hour Thursday afternoon greeting diners at a downtown Des Moines food court.

People swarmed around him, wishing him luck, saying he inspired them and promising to caucus for him Thursday night.

"You are going to win big tomorrow," one man told him.

"We'd love to have you caucus for us tonight," Obama said in a very hoarse voice.

He asked some Republicans to consider voting for him in the general election.

He answered questions about how he expected to do in the caucus or about the polls with "I feel good" or "We're doing great."

He reached over the counter and shook hands with workers at the Subway sandwich shop.

Zanata Moore-El asked Obama if he was an atheist.

"I'm a member of the Trinity United Church of Christ," Obama replied. "Don't read e-mails."

E-mails have circulated in recent weeks saying Obama is a Muslim or an atheist or took his oath of office on a Quran instead of a bible, none of which his true.

"I hated having to ask him that," Moore-El said. "But I heard he was like an atheist. I don't want a president who's an atheist. I'm a firm believer in God. I just really wanted to make sure because I really wanted to vote for him and he has some good topics and everything."

I will admit that I am fairly liberal in my views of religion, I am a registered Republican (it, honestly, would not bother me to have someone from another religion be President) That being said, I agree that anyone that is not a Christian would come under intense scrutiny, especially since it seems that most Americans hear Muslim and assume the person is a terrorist and out to get America. I think that that is what bothers me the most about this email. It has been researched and proven time and again, by all types of news organizations (PBS, CNN, LA Times, etc) , that Obama is not and never has been a Muslim. Yes, his father was, but he is not, and his father was out of his life fairly early on. He was raised in Indonesia, which is predominately Muslim and from what I have gathered, schools there are church run, so you can choose Muslim or Catholic and it sounds like he went to both while his family lived there. He was not sworn in with a Quoran, but with a Bible like other Christians (interestingly enough, I did find out that there is at least one Muslim statesman that has been sworn in the Quoran) The only point that I can see for this email is to prey on the fears of an American public that is terrified of anything that could possibly have anything to do with the Muslim religion.

I am really tired of some religious leaders acting like if you support a Democrat you don't believe in God and you are not a good Christian (and believe me I heard that implied straight from several pulpits here in my home town and on TV - 700 Club) and then on the other hand having Democrats acting like all Republicans are raving Bible thumpers who wouldn't have an original thought if it jumped up and bit them on the butt. I would like to think that most people would do their due diligence and research the candidates no matter what party they came from and vote according to their own personal morals and interests. Unfortunately, I found out in the last election that a lot of people actually read the stuff that comes in their in-boxes and never even bother to see if it is true or not (bty - www.snopes.com also says this is a lie, unlike what the original post says). I would hate to ignore a completely false email and not say something, this election is too important for everyone that is capable not to research all candidates as thoroughly as possible and make an informed decision.

First of all, Letitia Anne, there is no way that you are a Republican, even if you are "registered" ......... If you think that Obama is not supportive of radical Muslim organizations such as the Nation of Islam, you are sadly mistaken. You can go to the website of Louis Farrakhan and see for yourself who they want for president. You are typical of Democrats posing as Republicans. You use too many left wing terms that prove your allegiance.

Go to the New Black Panther Party's website and see who they are supporting for president. Check out the Black Panther site in Berkley CA on the website they call "It's About Time". See for yourself who the Communist Workers Party in America is supporting. You can pretend to be a Republican till the cows come home, but you aren't fooling anyone. There is too much information out there available to anyone who wants to do their homework for you to be as ignorant as you present yourself to be. You are not the first pretender and I'm sure you won't be the last.

Even Obama's pastor of 20 plus years is a radical left wing racist who desires a Communist America and who hates whites and preaches to his flock in no uncertain terms his hatred for whites and the "rich white man" who exploits blacks. In his own words, he cursed America and described 9/11 as the "chickens have come home to roost in America" .... he further stated, "not God Bless America, but God d**n America" .. then claimed in his subsequent interviews how these words were taken out of context. What bull!

Ann Coulter's article below regarding Obama's association with the radical left wing, Communist, anti-American, hate group called the Weathermen is another source to associate Obama with these radicals. I remember them well. They spewed the same anti-American, racial hatred that all the nuts from the 60's and 70's spewed. These groups are all associated and they keep changing their names, but they have the same Communist Credo they lived by then; only now they are sneakier about their works. Now they seek offices in high places and become lawyers, professors and politicians who slowly erode this country.

The anti-war movement during the Vietnam War was because the stinking left wing Communists in this country didn't want Americans over there killing their Communist allies. America needs to pay attention because they are attempting the same thing all over again. By the way, Hillary Clinton also has her own connection to these groups in a very big way, but the left wing media has covered it up.

Ann Coulter's Article Follows:

Obama's Asked why he would be friends with the likes of Weatherman Bill Ayers, Obama said: "The notion that ... me knowing somebody who engaged in detestable acts 40 years ago, when I was 8 years old, somehow reflects on me and my values doesn't make much sense."

That's a slick answer -- even "Clintonian"! -- but the problem is, Ayers and his Weatherman wife, Bernadine Dohrn, won't stop boasting about their days as Weathermen.

It's not simply that they haven't repented. To the contrary, those were their glory days! And Ayers isn't just someone who lives in the neighborhood: He and Dohrn were there at the inception of Obama's political career, hosting a fundraiser for Obama at their home back in 1995.

Besides wanton violence, including a dozen bombings of buildings such as the Pentagon, the U.S. Capitol, historic statues and various police stations, the Weathermen's "revolutionary" activity consisted primarily of using the word "motherf-----" a lot, dropping LSD, coming up with cutesy phrases -- like "the Weather Underground" -- and competing over who could make the most offensive statements in public. (I also believe Dohrn may have set the North American record for longest stretch without bathing.)

At one rally, Dohrn famously praised the Manson family for murdering Sharon Tate and others, shouting: "Dig it. First they killed those pigs, then they ate dinner in the same room with them. They even shoved a fork into a victim's stomach! Wild!"

In a better country, just saying "Dig it!" in public would get you 20 years in the slammer.

Dohrn has recently tried to clarify her Manson remarks by saying it was some sort of "statement" about violence in society and, furthermore, that she said it while under sniper fire in Bosnia. Also recently, the members of the Manson family have distanced themselves from Ayers and Dohrn.

At other rallies, Dohrn said, "Bring the revolution home, kill your parents -- that's where it's at."

After a Chicago Democratic official, Richard Elrod, became paralyzed while fighting with a privileged looter during the Weathermen's "Days of Rage," Dohrn led the Weathermen in a song sung to the tune of Bob Dylan's "Lay Lady Lay":

Lay, Elrod, lay,
Lay in the street for a while
Stay, Elrod, stay
Stay in your bed for a while
You thought you could stop the Weatherman
But up-front people put you on your can,
Stay, Elrod, stay
Stay in your iron lung,
Play, Elrod, play
Play with your toes for a while

Only because of a merciful God is the author of that ditty, Ted Gold, not teaching at Northwestern or the University of Illinois now, alongside Dohrn or Ayers. That's because Gold is no longer with us, having accidentally blown himself up with a bomb intended for a dance at Fort Dix for new recruits and their dates.

While trying to assemble the bomb at an elegant Greenwich Village townhouse that belonged to one of the revolutionaries' fathers, the bungling Weathermen blew up the entire townhouse, killing Gold and two other butterfingered revolutionaries. Leave it to these nincompoops to turn their glorious Marxist revolution into an "I Love Lucy" sketch.

So in addition to being stupid and violent, the Weathermen were also incompetent terrorists. Would that Timothy McVeigh had been so inept!

If he had only said he bombed the building in Oklahoma City to protest American "imperialism," McVeigh, too, could be teaching at Northwestern University, sitting on a board with and holding fundraisers for presidential candidate B. Hussein Obama.

Now, Letitia Anne, if you would like to promote your presidential candidate, why don't you just come out of the closet and do it.
