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.
