Obama

Who is Obama? What do we know about him? Not much! Even reporters from the LIBERAL MSM have confessed that even after riding around with him on the campaign they cannot answer the question of who he is or how he really thinks -- because he is so guarded and so not accessible. What we DO know is not good. We know what's in his books, where he talks about his hatred for his mother's (white) race. We know his associations. We know about his being drawn to socialism, and choosing friends who also were. We know he thinks we're selfish if we vote for McCain, if we don't like his economic policy -- even tho we KNOW he has acknowledged that his plan will NOT work any time soon and is NOT the fastest way to a better economy or more jobs -- but he says it is "FAIR". To whom? Even the people he is trying to make things fair for (whoever they are) will NOT be served well by a worsening economy. We also know he doesn't always keep his word. He agreed to accept public funds and the fundraising cap that went along with it. Then he "changed his mind" and decided NOT to take them, allowing himself to raise unlimited amounts of money for his campaign, after ensuring that McCain would have to follow the fundraising caps and so would be severely limited financially. Also, regarding his tax policies. He said and his website says, families at $250,000 or less will NOT see one cent of tax increase. Individuals at $200,000 or less will not see any increase. But then Biden said no one under $150,000. The Wall Street Journal said it actually works out to about $120,000. Then Obama had his infomercial. In it he said no FAMILY making $200,000 or less will see any increase. Oh, and a governor who was speaking in support of Obama said no one less than $100,000. Now when Biden first said 150,000 I wasn't too concerned. He constantly puts his foot in his mouth, and so I figured he did it again and was confused. But then Obama said a different, lower number for families in his infomercial which was obviously not spur of the moment and very well planned - so no mistake during a speech, no being tongue twisted. Now another supporter in the government has told us another number. On capital gains taxes he has changed so much I cannot figure out what his latest amount is. At one point he was not going to raise capital gains taxes, then it was 28%, then 15% -- it's been all over the place. How can we trust this man, who is so guarded, who changes his numbers so much, who calls us selfish even tho he barely gives to charity and doesn't help his own family. His friends are anti-American, to the extreme. And here's a famous picture of him.

I am an Australian so I don't know a lot about your politics but what i have read is how intelligence, not sure which one it is, maybe the CIA checks on everyone, so I think there would be some big file somwhere on everything he ever did, lets hope they do know everything as he could be the most powerful person in the world very soon...

NO, unfortunately, there is NO investigation done on those elected to the Senate or House. I thought they would have to undergo the normal investigation to get a security clearance, but I was wrong. Amazing.
