Dr James Cone's Description of BLACK LIBERATION THEOLOGY, from his book "BLACK POWER AND BLACK THEOLOGY", used as the basis for the vision statement of Obama's Church, Trinity United:
"Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him. The task of black theology is to kill Gods who do not belong to the black community. . . . Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal. Unless God is participating in this holy activity, we must reject his love."
Among the Obama's charitable donations in 2007 was the generous amount of $26,270 to Trinity United Church of Christ.

Why isn't the American press telling us that Obama is supported by every Muslim organization in the world?
Is it mere coincidence that an anti-capitalist run for President at the same time Islamic sharia finance and law is trying to make advancing strides into the United States? Is it mere coincidence this same candidate wants to dis-armour nuclear capability at a time when terrorist Muslim nations are expanding their nuclear weapons capability? Is it mere coincidence this candidate wants to reduce our military at a time of global jihad from Muslim nations?

Some of Obama's constituent friendly votes in Illinois.
- Voted AGAINST a bill letting people argue self-defense in court if charged with violating local weapons bans by using a gun in their home in self-defense.
- Unsuccessfully sponsored measure to expunge some criminal records and create an employment grant program for ex-criminals.
- Voted AGAINST making gang members eligible for the death penalty if they kill someone to help their gang.
- Voted AGAINST giving tax credits to parents who send their children to private school.
- Voted NO on a bill to give no offer of “good time” for sex offenders sentenced to the County Jail – Obama was the only vote against the bill.
- Voted “Present”on a bill to restrict the location of buildings with adult uses (you know porn shop, strip clubs, etc…) within 1,000 feet of any public or private elementary or secondary school, public park, place of worship, preschool, day-car facility, or residential area.
- Voted NO on a bill, requiring school boards to install software on public computers accessible to minors that blocked sexually explicit material.
- Voted YES on a bill that allowed the purchase of 10 hyperdemic needles from a pharmacy without a prescription.
- Voted “Present” on a bill which established a zero-tolerance drug-testing policy for Dep’t. of Corrections Employees.
- Voted NO on notifying parents of minors who get out-of-state abortions.
~~~~ SECURITY CLEARANCE-- Some say Obama would not be able to even obtain a Security Clearance to be a Policeman or a Baggage Handler at the Airport much less any TOP SECRET FBI CLEARANCE.. This is because of his use of 5 different names, illegal travels, foriegn citizenships, forged birth certificate, felony friends, terrorist associates, Muslim father, Muslim step-father & relatives, COMMUNIST Mother, COMMUNIST Mentor / Father figure & his admitted Cocaine use.
~~~~ P A S S P O R T -- Relatives say Obama was born in Kenya; he has Kenya & Indonesia citizenship & lived in Indonesia for 4 years. Obama used his Indonesian ARAB/American passport in 1981 and spent 3 weeks in Pakistan when all Americans were Forbidden to go to Pakistan. It's very unusual & mysterious for a "POOR" college kid to go on 3 week vacation to TERRORISM torn Pakistan. ?????? ~~~~~~~ DID OBAMA MEET OSAMA? ~~~~~ ?????
~~~~ BIASED MEDIA -- Media is now trying to crucify Sara like they did Hillary. Our pathetically biased Media keeps Obama's PAST OFF-LIMITS; the media KILLED HILLARY and now HIT ON SARA 24/7, intensily searching every detail about Sara, her family, and all her relatives, friends, her church & religion & Alaska's bridge to nowhere, etc. etc.!!!!

CAGW Names Speaker Pelosi and Majority Leader Reid Porkers of the Month
Washington, D.C. - Citizens Against Government Waste (CAGW), a private, non-partisan, non-profit organization today named Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) its August Porkers of the Month for leading a do-nothing Congress into a five week vacation.
Congress left for its traditional August recess after accomplishing nothing. Of the 106 bills enacted since January, 94, or 89 percent were to name government buildings or lands, extend or make technical corrections to existing laws. The accomplishments included “Frank Sinatra Day,” National Plumbing Industry Week,” and “National Day of the Cowboy.”
Get rid of these two bozos along with Obama and the rest of the far left loons.

MSM will not print any of these or anything that might penetrate their protective shield around their chosen Messiah. Our pathetically biased media KILLED OFF HILLARY and is now ATTACKING SARA 24/7 trying to dig up & print anything negative on her and all her family, relatives, friends, politics, church, religion & Alaska's bridge to nowhere..
In the Press, "Obama's Bridge to Chicago" goes nowhere; this is because Obama's citizenship, past, documented 122 LIES or anything negative about the media's messiah is TABOO & OFF-LIMITS. --- http://obamawtf.blogspot.com/2008/05/documented-lie-50-obama-claimed-he-had.html While Viewing site, you can click on each of 122 LIES for documentation's; also enjoy the 20+ CARTOONS.
Americans are beginning to notice Obama's elevated opinion of himself. There's nothing new about narcissism in politics. Every senator looks in the mirror and sees a president. Nonetheless, has there ever been a presidential nominee with a wider gap between his estimation of himself and the sum total of his lifetime achievements?

Is this fat ass a disaster, or what? They let her out for one day on the campaign trail and she blows up with this stupid comment:
Michelle Obama asked voters Thursday to make their choice on the issues, not because, "I like that guy" or, "she's cute." Might she be talking about Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin? "I'm talking about me," she said with a smile. Barack Obama's wife, however, is not on the ticket in the presidential election. Palin is. Her remarks came at a women's round-table on the economy as Democrats work to neutralize the appeal that Palin has brought to John McCain's ticket for some female voters. They are doing so gingerly, so as to not appear sexist or invite another lipstick-on-a-pig tempest. "People shouldn't make a decision this time based on, 'I like that guy' or 'she's cute,'" she said.
