If any of you ever checked the facts, the real truth.....not the retoric, but the facts, you'd cut off your own hands before you'd vote for Obama...live with the truth...

thanks, Joan of FL: I didn't know who Saul Alinsky was:

"A passionate believer that social justice could be achieved through American democracy, Saul Alinsky methodically showed the "have-nots" how to organize their communities, target the power brokers and politically out-maneuver them. The lessons he taught people about the nature of power, imparted dignity to the poor and helped create a backyard revolution in cities across America. His work influenced the struggle for civil rights and the farm workers movement, as well as the very nature of political protest."

OMG, encouraging poor people to fight for their rights, what a scoundrel??!!

If this is someone Barack Obama looks up to, I have no problem with this. the real question is, why would this bother anyone else??

To Joan of FL

"Obama has Muslims in his campaign."

Which religious groups should be excluded from participating in our political process? Muslims are not criminals. They are people with a different religious point of view.

"Was he actually born in Kenya?"

No, he was born in Hawaii. (which is part of the United States.) There are numerous news organizations which have investigated this and have published copies of his birth certificate.

"When he was 20, he went to Pakistan on an Indonesian passport, and was enrolled in School in Indonesia, as a Muslim by his stepfather, Lolo Soetero, so, the question is, does he pass the citizenship test?"

Obama lived in Indonesia when he was a young boy, 6 years old (his mother married an Indonesian) and he was enrolled in a public school there because his mother and step father could not afford the international school. When his mother felt that the school was inadequate, she sent him back to Hawaii to live with his grandparents to attend a better school at the age of ten. If he had an Indonesian passport, it may have been because he and his mother lived in Indonesia for four years. However, if he did go to Pakistan at the age of 20, what does that prove? Pakistan is one of our allies. Being well traveled is actually something that makes me more likely to vote for him.

"We also have questions about who paid for his education?" This is not a mystery: Both of the Obamas took out student loans to pay for college.

"does he believe that he is entitled to the office of the presidency?" Mr. Obama's mother and grandparents encouraged him to believe that he could grow up to be anything he wanted. Why shouldn't he believe that he is entitled to be president. he is bright, articulate, well-traveled, intelligent, compassionate, and aware of what people in this country are worried about.

Honestly tho, after reading the rest of your entries, I can see that I would be better off getting some sleep instead of trying to shed light on the lies you insist on spreading.

sweet dreams.
