Character to be President.....

Everyone is up in arms about the economic issues of the day; and to a certain extent they should be; but this too shall pass and Americans will overcome. The bigger issue of the day in my opinion is the character and integrity of the men running for president; specifically that of Barack Obama. He is being heralded as the greatest thing to hit politics since… well I don’t know when. But is he; is he really what the liberal left media is making him out to be. I just have some questions; how does a self proclaimed ‘poor kid’ from Hawaii, Indonesia, or Kenya or where ever he's from afford Harvard and Columbia? Is it as Kenneth Timmerman suggest in his article at NewsMax?
‘Khalid Al-Mansour, a Black Muslim and Black Nationalist who was a “mentor” to the founders of the Black Panther party, who was “raising money” for Obama Harvard studies during the years 1988 to 1991’

Very interesting read at: http://www.newsmax.com/timmerman/obama_harvard_/2008/09/23/133199.html

Then there is his 20+ year association with Reverend Wright; what is that all about? If McCain or Palin were associated with a traitorous wind bag like that there would be nightly reports about his influence over them. But yet there is nothing about Obama’s consul and mentoring received from this man and it is my firm belief that if those videos had not surfaced Obama would still be seeking input from Rev. Wright? And what would have happened if those videos came out earlier in the primaries? The numbers don’t lie, prior to the videos Obama won 63% of the primaries, afterwards….. 37%, hmmmm.

Then there is Bill Ayers; a 60’s radical who bombed the Pentagon (oh yeah; three years before McCain was released from captivity), who is now tenured education professor at the University of Illinois-Chicago, he's a campaign issue for Barack Obama. In addition to his professorship, Ayers is The Woods Fund board chairman, and a young state senator, who like Ayers is living in Chicago's Hyde Park neighborhood, is a fellow board member--that person of course is Barack Obama.

Too much to put here; check out this read: http://marathonpundit.blogspot.com/2008/02/obamas-bill-ayers-problem.html

And now even more questions about his intimate and long-term association with the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (Acorn). One of the largest radical groups in America, with 175,000 dues-paying member families, and more than 850 chapters in 70 US cities; implicated in numerous reports of fraudulent voter registration, vote-rigging, voter intimidation, and vote-for-pay scams during the 2004 election. Maintains close ties to organized labor; and is a former legal client of Senator Obama's.

It does'nt matter what the issues are; if a candidate has the integrity and a value system that I share I will have faith in how he or she will attack that issue and resolve it.

Obama does NOT have the character to be president.

Why is Palin under attack??

So once again Sarah Palin is attack again; and why? Is she that big of a threat to the far left liberals? What is it? She has executive experience; unlike either candidate on the liberal ticket, she has submitted balanced budgets, commanded a national guard unit. And yet she comes under these relentless attacks, would she if she was a part of the liberal media love in; ala Obama or Biden? I think not!
Well let’s talk about Joe Biden, you know the guy who though FDR got on national TV in 1929 and reassured the country that everything was fine during the great depression. The only problem there is FDR wasn’t president and there was no TV in 1929. But more then that; if Obama is elected Biden will be one heartbeat away from the presidency; but isn’t this the same guy (Biden) who has ran for president 3 or 4 times without making it out of the primaries; please. Did he all of the sudden change? Is he suddenly better then now then he has ever been, even this year? Remember he was running for president this year and we deemed unqualified and unelectable.
People, people… please don’t drink the Kool-Aid that is being offered by the liberal media; think for yourself, do some research; be your own person. Don’t let someone else make up your mind, you own your family, friends and community that.

A question for all....

Can someone tell me one thing… ONE thing that Obama has sponsored in his time in the Senate that has passed? I checked and the only thing I can find is recognition of the Chicago White Sox’s winning the World Series. He has been in the Senate since January 2005 and announced his candidacy for President in May of 2007, a little over two years; where is his experience? Heck, I’ll even take something he did in his time in the Illinois senate; there is nothing of substance; except for voting ‘present’ a majority of the time. That is NOT leadership! Where has he truly stuck his neck out? Then there this is Biden; excuse me but how many times has he ran for President, 3, 4; I lost count; and did he ever make it to the convention as the nominee? NO.. Any guesses as to why? Because he is NOT qualified! Contrast this to John McCain; let’s leave his military leadership and POW record out of it for now. His bipartisan leadership as evident in the McCain-Feingold campaign reform act; why do you think it is called the McCAIN-Feingold; he was the leader reaching across party lines to do the right thing. Regardless of your stance on the war; his leadership and pushing for the surge to end this war early and save lives was the right thing to do.
I am tired of the press and the uninformed public thinking that Obama is our savior; even his supporters have said that ‘remember, Jesus was a community organizer and Ponchas Pilot was a governor’, what are they trying to say? If you feel that Palin isn’t qualified to be VP based on her perceived lack of experience; then you HAVE to dismiss Obama lack of experience to be President; no question. Simply put Palin is more qualified to be VP then Obama is to be President.
