It is so sad that Obama seems to have these people hood-winked. It is evident that the majority of them who were interviewed have not done any research.All they are listening to is what they hear on their local TV stations which are predominately Republican entities. Here is a real-time fact. A new ad by Sen. Obama running in Pennsylvania falsely claims that Sen. Obama does not accept money from the oil industry. In the ad, Sen. Obama says, "I'm Barack Obama and I don't take money from oil companies or lobbyists and I won’t let them block change anymore." According to the Center for Responsive Politics, Sen. Obama has received over $160,000 from the oil and gas companies. Two major bundlers for his campaign -- George Kaiser and Robert Cavnar – are oil company CEOs. Sen. Obama has accepted money from Exxon, Shell, BP, Chevron and just about every other major oil company. Just last month, Sen. Obama accepted another $8,400 from ExxonMobil,$12,370 from Chevron and $6,500 from British Petroleum. In 2005, Sen. Obama voted for the Dick Cheney energy bill, which was written in secret with the oil industry. Hillary Clinton opposed Cheney's energy bill, has a plan to eliminate oil industry tax breaks, and would require oil companies to contribute to a $50 billion strategic energy fund to jumpstart research and investment

I fact find outside the candidates websites, where I found an included photo, within the 'fact finding'--the photo that was taken from the side..same day, same place, different angel..I belive the "finger-gate" photo is just more of the same old politics of yesterday...smear and fear...my one vote is VERY important to me, and calling "our" candidate "Osama and Obuma"... well, let's just say, it makes us work harder...we're tired of the same old politics of fear,false flags and negitives...we CAN handle the Truth..as a friend of mine once said: "Every closed eye is not sleeping,and every open eye is not seeing"...

GOP in PA~ WE NEED YOU! Hillary is despised more than she is liked. Her negatives are way higher than John McCains are. Why do you think us republicans want her to steal the democratic nomination? Why do you think we have refrained from campaigning against her? Why do you think so many of us have encouraged all "fellow republicans" to vote for her? Ann Coulter, Sean Hannity, Rush (is right) Limbaugh,......... Billary won't REJECT our help! Hillbilly needs all the help destroying the democratic party that she can get!

pa voter - wise wrote: Inspiration for awesome son. Obama's mother no doubt - a brilliant white woman. How Obama reached such a high level of understanding as how the world turns is as if he was chosen - like Jesus Christ. Quite A journey he travelled walking among the downtrodden and lifting them up and now poised to bring common sense to an America damaged by its beginnings. Beginnings not overly glorious - Indian slaugtering and slavery to cite but two. If McSame or Hillary its billions for war without end - to protect israel. I predict. But then it all goes bust. The story of a Rome. Hillary having done nothing for upstate NY (just over the PA border) why pull a lever for zero outcome. Wakey wakey. "This is the message of hope we are called to proclaim and embody in a world where self-centeredness, greed, violence, and cynicism so often seem to choke the fragile growth of grace in people's hearts," the Holy Father encouraged. Hillary disdains the use of words such as hope, words, rhetoric and takes obama's remarks about change and flips them as if they be refelective her true nature - and she and mcsame being the real angels for change - LOL. Fugget 'bout it. Lovers of being conned and conned again, are many - sorry to say. Not an honorable human - lets pray pa-ers are do what is in the best interest for all of us. Making history for an America whose founding fathers words are finally to be realized. A person whose people suffered through slavery and son of a mother who bore the shame who now having risen to lead us to that shining city on the hill. As like a St Patrick who was taken as a slave at sixteen and then managed to escape to later return to lead a people with great nobility. The urgency of the NOW is upon us. What an American story to excite our youth for true greatness. Our enemies would then as a consequence - woul be as like ants being unable to cope with the light. http://www.angelfire.com/ny/awake/elect.html Gag me-----

Not all of Obama's support comes from the little donor he touts with increasing frequency. "Industry PACs may not give directly to his campaign, but employees of industries may do so, and many of his contributors have come from executives and their spouses," the Wall Street Journal noted. "For example, Mr. Obama leads all candidates in donations from the pharmaceutical industry and commercial banks, among other industries." The New York Times reported earlier this year, for example, that while Obama did not accept money from nuclear industry lobbyists, he did take nearly a quarter-million dollars from Exelon's top executives. Exelon is the largest supplier of nuclear power in the nation, and it failed to disclose radiation leaks at one of its Illinois plants in 2006. And, the paper reported, while Obama initially sponsored legislation requiring that all nuclear power companies disclose such leaks, he eventually modified it to satisfy Exelon, Senate Republicans, and nuclear regulators. Just last October, however, Obama announced he would vote for a Peruvian trade agreement that would expand NAFTA into that country. In fact, he was the first presidential candidate to declare support for the NAFTA expansion. He was also the keynote speaker at a luncheon of the #HYPERLINK http://www.wnd.com/index.php ... ; \l"Hamilton Project – a Wall Street group working to drive a wedge between Democrats and organized labor on globalization issues The Cuba embargo In January 2004, Obama said it was time "to end the embargo with Cuba" because it had "utterly failed in the effort to overthrow Castro." Speaking to a Cuban American audience in Miami in August 2007, he said he would not "take off the embargo" as president because it is "an important inducement for change." Illegal immigration In a March 2004 questionnaire, Obama was asked if the government should "crack down on businesses that hire illegal immigrants." He replied "Oppose." In a Jan. 31, 2008, televised debate, he said that "we do have to crack down on those employers that are taking advantage of the situation." At first, Obama spokesman Tommy Vietor said that the candidate had "always" supported decriminalizing marijuana, suggesting his 2004 statement was correct. Then after the Times posted copies of the video on its Web site today, his campaign reversed course and declared he does not support eliminating criminal penalties for marijuana possession and use. Obama says he supports the Second Amendment, but didn't sign an amicus brief that opposed the D.C. gun ban. He never voted in favor of gun owners in the state legislature (NRA rating: F; Illinois Citizens for Handgun Control Rating: A), and since getting to the Senate, has voted in favor of gun owners exactly once (opposing confiscation of firearms after Katrina). Tooo Many Excuses, Bonehead Mistakes and Lies Not to mention Obamas afilliations with Anti-Americans and Terrorist... Say NO to Flip Flopping Obama....

Obama gave two speeches after he failed at the debates. He was an angry adolescent. At each speech, he used a rapper (JAY-Z) song about twisting the knife, and in both speeches at different locations when he said "Senator Clinton was in her element", he gave the finger. It is not a scratch, how could it happen at the exact wording in two places. Note in these videos, two different groups in the background. http://www.youtube.com/watch... http://www.youtube.com/watch...

Obama trivia ========== - Despite the fact that he claims that he has never been raised as a Muslim, in the various schools he attended in Jakarta, Indonesia, he was registered as a Muslim; also, according to his sister Maya Soetoro, "the family did not attend the mosque for regular worship, but for communal events" - According to Chicago Sun of Feb 13, 08, a volunteer setting up an Obama office in Texas had a Cuban flag with a picture of Che Guevara tacked up in her office - One of Obama's good friend, campaign contributor and advisor is Tony Rezko, an Arab American,born in Syria, who is currently facing federal charges of attempted extortion, money laundering, and fraud; Obama had actually received nearly three times more campaign cash from Rezko and his associates than he has publicly acknowledged - Interestingly, Obama's campaign has relied heavily on people such as Kenneth Griffin, a Chicago-based hedge-fund manager who reportedly earned $1.4bn last year - Obama's spiritual leader and counselor is Reverend Jeremiah Wright, who said in the newly disclosed video that the 9/11 attacks were brought on by US "terrorism." - Obama's congregation invited the leader of the terrorist organization Hamas, to post political opinions in its printed flier - One of Obama's fervent supporter is boxing champion Floyd Mayweather, who was in fact several times convicted for violence; - Barak has close association with the domestic terrorist organization members like: > William Ayers, who bombed high-profile government buildings,including the Capitol (in 70 and 72), > Carl Davidson or Bernardine Dohrn, members of the "Weathermen" underground radical leftist group that referred to itself as a revolutionary organization of men and women, whose purpose was to carry out a series of attacks that would achieve the revolutionary overthrow of the US Government - Barak developed a close relationship, almost like a son, with Frank Marshall Davis, outstanding member of the US Communist Party, by listening to his “poetry” and getting advice on his career path - he repeatedly ducked controversial stands in an apparent attempt to make it easier to be elected to higher office. For example, as a state senator in Illinois, he voted "present" rather than "aye" or "nay" nearly an astounding 130 times - he is endorsed by former Black Panther Charles Barron, and by Louis Farrakhan, the leader of the "Nation of Islam", as well as other senior members of the Nation of Islam - Ali Abunimah, a Palestinian rights activist in Chicago who helps run "The Electronic Intifada", said that he met Obama several times at Palestinian and Arab American community events. - Obama is a good friend with Palestinian scholar Rashid Kalidi, a staunch critic of Israel and its policy. Speaking to the crowd, Obama reminisced about meals prepared by Khalidi's wife, Mona, and conversations that "had challenged his thinking" - One oif Obama's donors is Inadhmi Auchi, an Iraqi born billionaire and arm dealer, leading supplier of arms to Saddam's regime, "convicted for fraud in France", among others; In addition, he is known to have given Tony Rezko a big loan, just prior to Rezko helping Obama purchase his house - According to "Electronic Intifada", in the winter of 2004, while campaigning for the senate seat, at a Hyde Park gathering in Chicago, Obama declared to one of the editors: I'm sorry I haven't said more about Palestine right now, but we are in a tough primary race. I'm hoping when things calm down I can be more up front." ... "Keep up the good work!"
