Another wild-eyed, insane, scare-mongering Obama email.
Another in a series from my RW cousin that give me my laugh for the day. And I am so sure the writer was initially going to vote for Obama - yeah, I'm really buying that.





All My Friends, this is very important, please take the time to read it.


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 w ere 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 h is 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 this trip? Nether 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's not cheap to say the least! Where did he get money for tuition? Student Loans? Maybe. After Columbia, he went to Chicago to work as a Community Organizer for $12,000 a year. &nb sp;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 Chicago. 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 re presented '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 Nadh mi 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? The y 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 made 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'!!!

5. I got a laugh out of it
And it is an example of a point I made earlier...

They are going to throw anything at the wall and hope something sticks.

You'll probably hear people mentioning this sh*t later on, maybe at work, at a store wherever.
Be ready to refute it with facts

12. It's the Snivelupagus
The guy who whines whenever someone posts something they find remotely negative.

Why the hell did you even bother to put your lame-ass response here in the first place?

Instead of whining because someone asks for info, why don't you go looking for the 'fluffy-bunny' section?

No I did not post facts to refute it, nor did I claim I was going to.
I happen to find these kinds of posts enlightening, because it prepares me for what the oppsition may try and throw at us.

I saw a post at a prominent newspaper claiming evidence for Obama being born in America as scant as best.
I went and looked for info and 'lo-and-behold' evidence for his birth is America is irrefutable.

That's what many people, like myself get out of posts like this -- Information.

People such as yourself seem to see troll if anyone posts anything that doesn't practically equate Obama with the perfect being.

4. and he visited Hyderabad!
That' Sufi Central in India. Wonder if his roommates were Sufis? We're "dangerous", you know, because we are for tolerance, peace, and international understanding.

10. One time she sent me an email about how Obama is a Muslim.
I told her she should check Snopes and how it wasn't true and she said she knew he wasn't a Muslim but finds him a scary person so she sent it out anyway. So, I have discovered that trying to deal rationally with her is pretty useless. She doesn't care if it is true or not. What she really finds scary is he is b-l-a-c-k.

9. Hit reply to all and put out the truth
My father in law sent me that crap photo of Obama and the National anthem bullshit and I replied to all with the truth.

The original e-mail spouted the Obama didn't put his hand over his heart for the pledge, which was the major lie in that post and I set the list straight. I got one reply from some Elk's idiot who likes to believe what suits his needs instead of the truth.

13. Valerie Jarrett is an African American. She is light skinned (like many Blacks are)
She came from a prominent Black family...some might call them bourgois. Her father was a doctor. She just happened to be born in Iran while her father was doing work there. That was back when Iran was ruled under the Shah supported by the American Government after the 1953 Operation Ajax led by Eisenhower. That's why her father was there, because Iran was our ally......when she was born in 1956. (read wiki)

Guess everyone associated to Barack Obama must be white bread, or he doesn't pass the test.

From Wiki:
Valerie Bowman was born on November 14, 1956 in Shiraz, Iran, where her father, Dr. James Bowman, ran a hospital for poor children.<2> Her father, a pathologist and geneticist, is Professor Emeritus in Pathology and Medicine, University of Chicago.<3> Her mother, Barbara Bowman, is an early childhood education expert and co-founder of the Erikson Institute for child development.<2><4> Her maternal grandfather, Robert Taylor was the head of the Chicago Housing Authority in the 1940s.<5><6> At age 5, the family moved to London for one year, then returned to Chicago in 1963.

She received a B.A. in Psychology from Stanford University in 1978, and a JD from the University of Michigan Law School in 1981.
