This has GOT to be one of the FUNNIEST anti-Obama posts yet!!
He owed $200.00 in unpaid parking violations !!!!! Haaahhhhaaaaaahaahh.
AND some deranged idiot is calling for his disbarment because of alleged drug use and unpaid PARKING VIOLATIONS!
And disbarment - for THIS!!? HALF of the lawyers practicing today should be disbarred for much much worse!!
I don't know whether these allegations are true or not, but if they are, they may be serious. Remember that lying under oath was the rationale for the impeachment of Bill Clinton. Lying on the application to become a lawyer is grounds for discipline. Having said that, nothing will come of this. If Obama were the average person, the bar make take action, but I believe they will, instead, sweep this under the rug.

As Usual, Obama Lies Again About His Alleged Accomplishments
" Now, in terms of knowing my commitments, you don’t have to just look at my words, you can look at my deeds. Just this past week, we passed out of the U.S. Senate Banking Committee, which is MY committee, a bill to call for divestment from Iran, as a way of ratcheting up the pressure to ensure that they don’t obtain a nuclear weapon."
******Obama is not a member of the Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee. Obama just made that up so he could count the committee’s action as one of “my deeds.”

The bar doesn't take action on ANYTHING do not not have absolute proof of - he would have to be on tape snorting coke to be CONSIDERED to brought up on disciplinary charges - and then it would have to be proven that it was in fact coke! HOW MANY lawyers do drugs or have done drugs in their past PLENTY!!

Lawyers found guilty of forging court documents are given a 6 mo. suspension ONLY.

And the parking tickets - this actually made my day - this was hilarious!

Is John Edwards still on Obama 's short list for VP? You know with Obama being a family man and all. Don't see how J.E. could be considered with his "mistress" and all. "Another" association and bad judgement call on Obama's part. The list just keeps growing and growing. "His" plane flying thru the air with the message of the "savior" "CHANGE WE CAN BELIEVE" Yes, we can believe that this guys EGO is out of control.

Racism, that is. To bad for us.
When you choose anything by its looks you are most certainly WRONG.
The politics of the USA are in a most dismal state.
Defined by party lines and now ripped with racist overtones.
They all LIE to win. Period.
We The People are broke down like a shotgun and taxed in favor of the few.
DOOMED we are.

If:(1) there was a question on the application which directly asked if the applicant had ever engaged in the use of illicit drugs,(2) Obama marked the answer "no", and then admitted in one of his books that he did, indeed, use illicit drugs, then it can be assumed that Obama lied on the application. However, as I implied earlier, without more public scrutiny, powerful people are rarely held accountable for such actions, so I don't anticipate any action by the bar.

He misspoke when he said there were 57 States. In this case, he either didn't know what committees he was on, or he lied -- one or the other. Either way, it's bad.

Yes, unfortunately, racism is definitely alive in America:

How can Obama claim to be a "uniter" when his religion is based upon racism, i.e. black liberation theology. Here are a few statements from James H. Cone, one of the founders of black liberation theology, about the nature of Obama's religion, and you tell me if they are consistent with Christianity or "unification."

(1) "Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him. The task of black theology is to kill Gods who do not belong to the black community. Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal. Unless God is participating in this holy activity, we must reject his love."

(2)“To be Christian is to be one of those whom God has chosen. God has chosen black people."

(3) "While it is true that blacks do hate whites, black hatred is not racism."

(4) "All white men are responsible for white oppression."

(5) "Theologically, Malcolm X was not far wrong when he called the white man "the devil."

(6) "If there is any contemporary meaning of the Antichrist, the white church seems to be a manifestation of it."

I recommend that you do a little research on Obama’s so-called religion, black liberation theology. First, here is a link to Obama’s church where they admit they preach black liberation theology, and that it is based on the teachings of James H. Cone. They offer his seminal book about Obama’s religion on their site, also. It is called “Black Theology and Black Power.”

http://tinyurl.com/5q7rjk

If you have the time, read the books of Cone, starting with the above-referenced book. I have to warn you, however, that all of the hatred and racism makes for a rather depressing read. If you don’t have time to fully research this issue, then go on the web. Here are just a few sources which are helpful.

Also, here is the church’s Black Value System that Obama adhered to for 20 years:

1. Commitment to God

2. Commitment to the Black Community

3. Commitment to the Black Family

4. Dedication to the Pursuit of Education

5. Dedication to the Pursuit of Excellence

6. Adherence to the Black Work Ethic

7. Commitment to Self-Discipline and Self-Respect

8. Disavowal of the Pursuit of "Middleclassness"

9. Pledge to make the fruits of all developing and acquired skills available to the Black Community

10. Pledge to Allocate Regularly, a Portion of Personal Resources for Strengthening and Supporting Black Institutions

11. Pledge allegiance to all Black leadership who espouse and embrace the Black Value System

12. Personal commitment to embracement of the Black Value System.

After you have completed your research, you will find that Obama’s religion is NOT CHRISTIAN, like he professes it to be, but racist and divisive. Then, you need to figure out in your own mind, what it says about a man who would practice such beliefs for 20 years, who would expose his family and children to this theology of hate.

I'm glad someone else sees the lack of objectivity in this race. Gimme a break--like one person is really going to be able to solve all these complex issues, especially with no real experience to speak of. It's just a Cult of Personality, something we've experienced before and thought we learned from. If people don't wise up our problems are going to get even more out of whack after this election.

I don't think the amount of Obama's fines matter as much as the fact that he received 15 parking tickets and was not honest enough to pay them until 15 years later, two weeks before he announced his presidency. It speaks to his integrity - he doesn't have any.

You obviously know nothing but pretend to know much. Ever hear of burning everything in the pathway. The army destroyed and foraged and left destruction. It was an illegal war. Yes, those slaves should have been paid for as well. Who do you think sold those slaves to the southerners to begin with. It was those New England merchants that dabbled in the triangle trade. Don't get so "holier than thou" on me now. Your education is lacking. Public school? Finish high school?

Obama's supporters - like myself do NOT see him as racist - the black theology that you speak of was in direct response to white supremacists.

Wright's church is first and foremost a celebration of the African American culture - which was it's main draw. Because of that - it attracted many of our nation's black elite. As a politician - Obama would very naturally go where the money is to support his personal ambitions. As members of the surrounding area also of course attended - Obama then is able to keep in touch with the needs and concerns of the more disadvantaged class.

Wright, an egomaniac, is NOT the reason why MOST people attend the church.
