If this is how he treats the blacks who live in Chicago
How do you think he will treat the whites anywhere if he becomes president?
Obama claims he cares about poor blacks, but a Boston Globe report exposed how for eight years Obama supported slum projects in Chicago.
Poor blacks living in rat and roach infested apartments condemned Obama for not caring about them.
Cynthia Ashley, a fourteen-year resident said: "No one should have to live like this, and no one did anything about it."
Anthony Frizzell a twenty-year resident said: "In the winter I can feel the cold air coming through the walls and the sockets."
Sharee Jones who has lived for years with the rats said: "You could hear them under the floor and in the walls, and they didn't do nothing about it."
Paul Johnson who helped organize a protest against Obama said: "Of course he knew. He just didn't care."
Showing he just didn't care, Obama wrote letters on Illinois Senate letterhead supporting government loans for slum projects.
Obama coauthored the Illinois law that gave tax breaks to his slum lord friends, including now convicted felon Tony Rezko who helped Obama buy a million-dollar house.
As a US Senator, Obama worked to increase federal subsidies for his slum lord pals who donated more than $175,000 to Obama's campaigns with Rezko raising another $200,000.
While running for president, Obama is promising to create a fund that gives his slum lord buddies $500 million a year. This is outrageous.
See what damage he has done in just one state, then ponder upon what he may do to all states. Get informed before you vote.

Yeah, I don't get it. How anyone can vote for Obama is beyond me when he's got no record of helping anyone who deserves and needs it. And I think Obama should give the taxpayers back what his auntie cost us, when she's an illegal immigrant you can't tell me he didn't know she was in the U.S illegally.

Oh he had to know, she has been here for over 5 years.
I'm sure someone had to mention that when he was visiting
other relatives in Kenya. When he talks about family, he
is only talking about his wife and kids and sometimes adds
his black grandmother into the family according to where he
is speaking. I can just imagine his mother turning face down
in her grave every time he says he wishes he didn't have any
white blood in his body. What a raciest....

She attended Obama's swearing-in to the U.S. Senate in 2004. And he's trying to say that he hasn't spoken to her in two years? Let's say he really didn't know (yeah right) But lets pretend that he didn't. He cries he has very little family left and then his grandmother is dying and he admits to not seeing her often. He's had this aunt to his house before years ago. But yet he's not doing all he can to keep in touch with family? He spoke of her in his book. If I was Obama I would have done all I could to keep in touch with all the family I had left. Tells you where his values lie.

Then there's his poor little illegal alien auntie living in public housing. How she managed that, I don't know. No one I know can get into public housing without proving citizenship or legal alien status.

You know, both McCain and Obama have their problems, but I am noticing as election day comes nearer, that Obama's true self is starting to show through..
