He has violated our Constitution with the help of Marxists, terrorists, racists, and corrupt organizations. His policies and Presidency must be terminated; IMMEDIATELY.
There is a 'Certificate of Live Birth' claiming to be Obama's that is being circulated throughout the mainstream media and internet. Where exactly this 'Certificate of Live Birth' originated, and why it does not include Barry's footprint or even his delivering doctor is still not known; it's up to You, The People, to find out.

Wakid Hamid, a Muslim, is still friends with Obama. Obama said he got all his money from the grass roots people. $10 here $5 dollars there and all along he was taking money from I guess Pepsi.
Obama: the Pepsi Candidate
The Democratic presidential nominee and the soft drink have strong affinities.
Posted Thursday, Aug. 21, 2008, at 6:56 AM ETIt is oddly fitting that the convention that will give Barack Obama the Democratic nomination for president will take place in Denver's Pepsi Center. During the primaries, some bloggers argued that Obama's insurgent campaign made him Pepsi to Hillary's establishment Coke. An eagle-eyed observer (who happens to work for Pepsi's P.R. firm) noticed that during the primary debates, Obama could be seen refreshing himself with Aquafina water—a Pepsi brand—while Hillary Clinton drank Coke's Dasani. In addition, Wonkette and others have noted that the round "Obama '08" logo is similar to the red and blue yin-yang-like symbol that Pepsi-Cola has used since 1991
Of course, the connection between Obama and Pepsi is largely accidental.**** In early 2006, when Denver began lobbying the Democratic National Committee to host the convention, very few would have predicted that Obama would be the nominee. And PepsiCo Inc., the $40-billion-a-year food conglomerate headquartered in Purchase, N.Y., does not manage Denver's Pepsi Center; it bought the arena's naming rights for 20 years in 1999.
But while the connection may be arbitrary, the Obama-Pepsi affinity is strong. Last month, when Obama assembled a team of financial heavyweights for a summit to discuss economic issues, one of the most prominent corporate leaders in attendance was Indra Nooyi, the Pepsi CEO whose Indian heritage makes her, like Obama, one of the few nonwhites to reach the highest levels of power in her profession. Although Nooyi hasn't endorsed Obama—few CEOs make explicit endorsements—it's hard to imagine that she doesn't support him; she and her husband gave $27,000 to John Kerry's campaign in 2004. (A spokeswoman says that no comparable appearance with John McCain has been scheduled, though she's not aware of any Nooyi donation to Obama.) According to the database operated by the Center for Responsive Politics, Pepsi employees have given $39,700 to Obama's campaign, compared with a meager $6,000 from Coca-Cola employees.
Perhaps more significant, the prevailing theme of Obama's campaign meshes well with Pepsi's corporate messaging. Pepsi's marketing has for decades tried to exude youthful energy, from the early '60s attempts to adopt baby boomers as the "Pepsi generation" to the '90s fantasy commercials depicting Pepsi as a veritable soda fountain of youth, transforming nursing-home residents into skateboarders. Pepsi's advertising slogan not too long ago was "The Choice of a New Generation," which could almost be Obama's. Certainly his strategy in the general election, as it did in the primaries, will rely on youth support that is almost as fanatical and fantastic as the fictional version in Pepsi's ads.Actually, Pepsi's appeal to the young has a corporate rationale and goes back to the beginning of its modern history. (After a bankruptcy, the company was reborn in the 1930s.) In order to build market share against the incumbent Coca-Cola and smaller rivals, Pepsi offered 12 ounces of cola for a nickel—6-ounce bottles were the standard at the time—and held fast to the 5-cent price for several years even as rising sugar prices during and after World War II compelled others to go to 6 cents and more. (This was the origin of Pepsi's renowned jingle: "Pepsi-Cola hits the spot/ Twelve full ounces, that's a lot.") As a result, Pepsi's customer base skewed very young.
It also skewed black, which is the source of Pepsi's unusually close relationship with the African-American community. Beginning in 1940, Pepsi was almost alone in the corporate world in hiring African-American salesmen and in specifically targeting the African-American consumer, about whom there was very little reliable data. This was a risky strategy, as any company seen as overtly trying to appeal to blacks could well have found itself boycotted by Southern whites.
And indeed, Pepsi's strategy created friction internally. According to Stephanie Capparell's 2007 book, The Real Pepsi Challenge, even Pepsi President Walter Mack—who was responsible for hiring the African-American sales team—seemed conflicted about it. At a 1949 company event at New York's Waldorf-Astoria Hotel, he told the crowd: "[W]e're going to have to develop a way whereby [Pepsi] will no longer be known as a nigger drink," causing at least one African-American salesman to walk out of the meeting. Nevertheless, the company continued to foster a strong relationship with African-Americans in its marketing and in its employment practices.
Pepsi's political and marketing agenda these days is much more complex. In recent years, Pepsico and others in the food and beverage industry have tried to persuade Congress to pass a "uniformity for food" law, whose main effect would be to nullify tough California labeling regulations, which forced Pepsi to stop printing soda labels in Mexico that contain lead. Pepsi also pays close attention to anti-obesity regulations—in addition to "sugar water," as Steve Jobs memorably described it to John Sculley, then president of Pepsi, it also sells potato chips and Cheetos—and keeps tabs on local prohibitions against bottled water. And one of the company's most high-profile executives is General Counsel Larry D. Thompson, who was deputy attorney general in the Bush administration and is co-chair of the lawyers' steering group for McCain.
As for Obama, for all of Pepsi's positive associations with youth and African-Americans, there are nonetheless disadvantages to being a Pepsi candidate. The soda is a perpetual runner-up, like Avis or Burger King. Moreover, Pepsi does not lose out to Coke because its product is inferior. For decades, participants in blind taste tests—the "Pepsi Challenge"—have preferred Pepsi's sweeter, citrusy, slightly less-carbonated flavor. Yet consumers consistently choose Coke in larger numbers, an anomaly usually attributed to Coke's marketing and packaging. But another theory, argued by Malcolm Gladwell in Blink, is that Pepsi's sweetness appeals more in a sip than over the course of a whole can.
For a candidate who earlier this year lost several primaries in states where opinion polls showed him ahead, that is a worrisome analogy. And perhaps that's why, on the day Obama is scheduled to make his acceptance speech, he's moved the proceedings out of the Pepsi Center and into Invesco's Mile High Stadium. Accepting the nomination in a football stadium named after a wealth management firm ... now that's the choice of a new generation.

Barack Obama visited Pakistan stayed with Mohammed Hasan Chandoo, who are the Chandoo Brothers?
http://www.mikefrancesa.com/wordpress/?p=1190 ^ | September 18th, 2008
Posted on Thursday, October 02, 2008 2:14:51 AM by seastay
For some reason Barack Obama has never mentioned his three week stay in Pakistan in any of his writings. On the infamous San Francisco trip in which Obama called small town Americans “bitter” he also bragged that he had more foreign policy credentials than Hillary Clinton and John McCain. One of the things he listed on his resume was his extensive foreign travel including a 1981 trip to Pakistan. However since this admission, slip of the tongue, or however you would characterize it, Obama has never mentioned this trip again.
Although his campaign manager did discuss it when pressed:
As a freshman, he quickly became friends with Mohammed Hasan Chandoo and Wahid Hamid, two wealthy Pakistanis In 1981, Obama transferred from Occidental to Columbia. In between, he traveled to Pakistan - a trip that enhanced his foreign policy qualifications, he maintained in a private speech at a San Francisco fundraiser last month. Obama spent “about three weeks” in Pakistan, traveling with Hamid and staying in Karachi with Chandoo’s family, said Bill Burton, Obama’s press secretary.
The Chandoo he was referring to is Mohammed Hassan Chandoo which this website claims is now a major campaign bundler for Obama:
Bundler: Hasan Chandoo
Employer: Oppenheimer & Co State: NY Bundler Status for 2008: Bundler for Barack Obama, raised at least $100,000.00
Chandoo is one of the Chandoo Brothers, Mohammed Askari Chandoo has his own website entitled www.chandoo.com. He lists his brother’s email addresses:
Welcome to the Chandoo.com website. The following pages are available on this site: Bush News Network (BNN) Dubai Reunion Khoja News Network (KNN) Knights Alumni Society (The Alumni Society of Karachi American School) Mohammed Askari Chandoo’s homepage. To get in touch with us:
Ahmed Ali Chandoo ahmed at chandoo dot com Hasnain Chandoo hasnain at chandoo dot com Mohammed Askari Chandoo askari at chandoo dot com Mohammed Hasan Chandoo hasan at chandoo dot com
Also contained in that homepage is links to other pages of Chandoo’s website including The Bush News Network which is an anti Republican website.
On the Politics page he has this picture of President Bush:
Under the picture he lists 14 defining characteristics of fascism.
On the Bush News Network he has this entry:
George W. Bush Receives Key Endorsement from Rednecks
The Organization for Incestuous Living (OIL) threw its firm support behind President George W. Bush in his bid for a second term.
OIL said that the President was just like them:
“We’re both from the south; we love beer; we love our families (only we love them literally); and we have the same IQ.”
The NY Times have invaded Wasilla, Alaska talking with any person they can find who knows Sarah Palin. Why have the NY Times not interviewed the Chandoo Brothers? Why have they not asked Barack Obama what he was doing in Pakistan.
During the speech, Mr. Obama also spoke about having traveled to Pakistan in the early 1980s. Because of that trip, which he did not mention in either of his autobiographical books, “I knew what Sunni and Shia was before I joined the Senate Foreign Relations Committee,” he said.
Over all, Mr. Obama’s remarks seemed directed primarily at his Democratic rival, Mrs. Clinton. But some of his digs, including the one about distinguishing Shias from Sunnis, also apply to Mr. McCain, whose campaign offered a sharp, mocking response to Mr. Obama’s claim to expertise.
“When John McCain travels on official business, he meets with presidents, prime ministers, foreign and defense ministers, members of parliament, human rights leaders, N.G.O.’s, business leaders and journalists so that he acquires a full understanding of the country he visits and the issues at stake in our relations,” said Mark Salter, a senior adviser to Mr. McCain. “Oh, and as Senator Obama may know, he has actually spent some time living abroad as well.”
Even more than a gap on specific policies, Mr. Obama and Mr. McCain’s respective positions represent a fundamental philosophical difference. Mr. Obama’s advisers argue that “there are multiple aspects to experience, each of which can be relevant.” Mr. Obama’s experience “provides a different kind of insight” than the traditional résumé, said Susan E. Rice, a former assistant secretary of state for African affairs and a National Security Council official who is one of Mr. Obama’s foreign policy advisers.
“At a time when our foreign policy and national security have so obviously suffered from a simplistic, black-and-white interpretation,” Ms. Rice added, having “an American president who spent part of his formative years and young adulthood living in a poor country under a dictatorship brings an understanding of the complexity of things that others may not have. I’m not saying that official travels and Congressional delegations are without value, but there are limits to what you can glean from that.”
Mr. Obama’s advisers acknowledge that there are gaps in his experience — he has never traveled to Latin America, for instance — but they maintain that the sound judgment they say he has demonstrated on foreign policy issues, like Iraq and Pakistan, where he wants the United States to distance itself from Gen. Pervez Musharraf, more than compensates for any such shortcomings.
According to his campaign staff, Mr. Obama visited Pakistan in 1981, on the way back from Indonesia, where his mother and half-sister, Maya Soetoro-Ng, were living. He spent “about three weeks” there, Mr. Obama’s press secretary, Bill Burton, said, staying in Karachi with the family of a college friend, Mohammed Hasan Chandoo, but also traveling to Hyderabad, in India.
Mr. Obama appears not to have previously cited his travel in Pakistan in speeches during the campaign. In “Dreams from My Father,” he talks of having a Pakistani roommate when he moved to New York, a man he calls Sadik who “had overstayed his tourist visa and now made a living in New York’s high-turnover, illegal immigrant work force, waiting on tables.”
Mr. Obama, the campaign and his publisher have not provided any details about the identity of Sadik.
During his years at Occidental College, Mr. Obama also befriended Wahid Hamid, a fellow student who was an immigrant from Pakistan and traveled with Mr. Obama there, the Obama campaign said. Mr. Hamid is now a vice president at Pepsico in New York, and according to public records, has donated the maximum $2,300 to the Obama campaign and is listed as a fund-raiser for it.
Mr. Chandoo is now a self-employed financial consultant, living in Armonk, N.Y. He has also donated the maximum, $2,300, to Mr. Obama’s primary campaign and an additional $309 for the general election, campaign finance records show.
This website does not support the harassment of people related to or friends of the candidates. All we are asking for is a fair media. If you are going to question people who went to college with Sarah Palin, then certainly you can call up the Chandoo brothers and ask about Obama’s trip to Pakistan. This is perfectly fair, also consider that it is alleged that Mohammed Hasan Chandoo is a major bundler of Obama, bundling is the way in which the Obama campaign has taken lobbyist money while claiming to be lobbyist free.
For all we know Obama and Chandoo were just taking a simple tourist trip through Pakistan, all Obama has to do is answer what he was doing there.
More on Hasan Chandoo’s brother, Askari Chandoo here, includes his work for Barack Obama:
Askari Chandoo Askari Chandoo is a self-employed finance wonk in Karachi, Pakistan. His living in Pakistan, Greece, the United Arab Emirates, England, and the U.S. has given him an understanding for cultures and points of views other than his own. He has been active in politics for several years, having organized voter registration drives at masjids; helping to raise money for Barack Obama’s (D-IL) successful senatorial campaign; and serving on the executive committee of the satirical protest group Billionaires for Bush, where, in his alter ego of Cassius King, he headed up the group’s messaging effort as the Minister of Rhetorical Rhetoric and also served as its treasurer, better known as the Minister of Theoretical Finance. He currently sits on the board of Friends Welfare Trust, a non-profit providing housing, medical, and education assistance to poor Shia families in Karachi. Askari is a card-carrying member of the ACLU and a non-card carrying member of the Khoja (Pirhai) Ithna-Asheri Jamaat. His applications for country club memberships have been consistently rejected. Askari holds a BA from Brown University, where he graduated at the top of his class, and an M.Phil. with honors from the University of Cambridge.
In fairness to Mohammed Askari Chandoo he posted this on the LA Times website:
In response to Mr. Fred Berg’s comments: Wow! What a generalization you make regarding Muslims. Muslims have tried very hard to integrate into the U.S., and are as supportive of our country as anyone. As a very small example, a group of us Muslims goes to soup kitchens in New York City on Christmas day to serve meals to the needy. We do this because of humanity and because our faith commands us to treat everyone kindly, which is far more than I can say for your comments.

He seems to be involved in very charitable and peace minded organizations but I see no reason why he can’t elaborate on Obama’s trip to Pakistan and the allegations that his brother is a bundler for Obama
Michelle and Barrack Hussien Obama at a Arab American Action Network dinner in with Ed Said ( he's no longer a member of the PLO, because he's dead!)
Barack Obama claims to be a supporter of Israel and a friend of the Jewish people. But many of the people who helped him in the course of his rise to political power, or whom he helped during his political ascent, are extremely anti-Israel, or even outright anti-Semitic. Let's examine the views and careers of just a few of Obama's anti-Israel and/or anti-Semitic benefactors and protégés:
Rashid Khalidi was the director of the PLO's press agency WAFA from 1976 to 1982, at a time when the PLO was conducting a massacre of 37 Israeli civilians in a bus on Israel's coastal road, the brutal murder of a four-year-old Israeli girl in Nahariya, and numerous other terrorist killings of Israeli civilians. The PLO was also waging a brutal war against the Lebanese Christian community during this period, and carried out numerous massacres of Lebanese Christians; the worst of these was the killing of about 500 people in the village of Damour. During this same period, Rashid's wife Mona Khalidi was an English translator for WAFA. Rashid Khalidi is now an advocate of a "one state solution" for all of "Palestine" - meaning the destruction of Israel and its replacement by an Arab state. Asaf Romirowsky and Jonathan Calt Harris, in an article in the Washington Times on July 9, 2004, summarized Rashid Khalidi's views about Israel this way: "[His] extremism comes out when he calls Israel an ‘apartheid system in creation' and a ‘racist state' that ‘brainwashed' Americans do not understand. Jerusalem, with its Jewish majority since the 1880s, he deems ‘an Arab city' whose control by Israeli ‘foreigners' is ‘unacceptable.' And so on." Khalidi also accuses Israel of "ethnic cleansing."
In 1995 Rashid and Mona Khalidi co-founded the The Arab-American Action Network, a virulently anti-Israel organization that strongly supports the Palestinian Arab terrorist movement. It regards the creation of the state of Israel as a "naqba" ("catastrophe" in Arabic). Mona Khalidi served as the group's President from its inception until some time this year, although she is now listed only as a member of its board of directors.
Rashid and Mona Khalidi became close friends of Barack and Michelle Obama during the time when both Barack and Rashid taught at the University of Chicago (1992-2003). At a lavish farewell party for Khalidi in Chicago in 2003, when Khalidi left his prestigious position at the University of Chicago for an even more prestigious one at Columbia University in New York, Obama gave Khalidi a glowing eulogy. He said that he and his wife Michelle had been frequent dinner guests of the Khalidis, and that the Khalidis had frequently babysat for the Obama children. According to a Los Angeles Times account based on a video of Obama's speech, he added that "his many talks with the Khalidis, . . .had been ‘consistent reminders to me of my own blind spots and my own biases. . . . It's for that reason that I'm hoping that, for many years to come, we continue that conversation-a conversation that is necessary not just around Mona and Rashid's dinner table,' but around ‘this entire world.'"
Obama's assistance to the Khalidis, however, went beyond mere kind words at a farewell party. In 2001 and again in 2002, Obama, in his capacity as a member of the board of directors of the Leftist non-profit organization the Woods Fund, voted to give the Arab-American Action Network co-founded by Rashid and Mona, and directed by Mona Khalidi, $75,000 in grants.
Rashid and Mona Khalidi anticipated Obama's generosity to AAAN by holding a fundraiser in their house for Obama's unsuccessful run for Congress in 2000. It would seem that it later proved to be a profitable event for the Khalidis.[1]
Ali Abunimah is the "executive director" of The Electronic Intifada, which is the principal internet mouthpiece for the Palestinian terrorist movement in the United States. Abunimah writes that he became friendly with Obama in the late 1990s in Chicago when Obama was a frequent guest at Palestinian Arab fundraisers in Chicago. One such fundraiser was for the Deisheh refugee camp near Jerusalem - which was soon to become a base for terrorist attacks on Israelis during the "Al-Aksa Intifada" which began in 2000. At one such fundraising dinner, Obama was seated at the same table as Edward Said, the chief PLO propagandist in the United States and the author of Yasser Arafat's notorious "gun and the olive branch" speech to the United Nations General Assembly in 1974.
But it was at the 2000 fundraiser at the home of Rashid and Mona Khalidi for Obama's failed 2000 run for Congress where Abunimah says he "had a chance to really talk to [Obama]. It was an intimate setting. He convinced me he was very aware of the issues [and] critical of U.S. bias toward Israel and lack of sensitivity to Arabs. ... He was very supportive of U.S. pressure on Israel." "On that occasion and others," according to Abunimah, "Obama was forthright in his criticism of U.S. policy and his call for an even-handed approach to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict." Obama was "quite frank that the U.S. needed to be more evenhanded, that it leaned too much toward Israel." He was also "very comfortable in speaking up for and being associated with Palestinian rights and opposing the Israeli occupation." Later, during Obama's 2004 campaign for the U.S. Senate, at another private gathering in Chicago's (and Obama's and Khalidi's) Hyde Park neighborhood, he excused himself to Abunimah for not being "more up front" in his advocacy of the Palestinian cause: "'Hey, 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.' He referred to my activism, including columns I was contributing to the Chicago Tribune critical of Israeli and US policy [and said:] ‘Keep up the good work!'" The Obama campaign has denied the accuracy of Abunimah's account of this conversation. But it offered no explanation as to why Abunimah would have invented it.[2]
The story of Barack Obama's political alliance with Chicago Leftist activists Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn ,the couple who had co-founded and led the Weatherman terrorist organization in the 1970s, when Obama was launching his own political career twenty-something years later, has in recent weeks received some modest attention in sections of the press; it has even been mentioned by vice-presidential candidate Sarah Palin. We do not have space here to review in detail the sordid history of the Obama-Ayers-Dohrn relationship, beyond mentioning that it involved the fundraiser and meet-the candidate reception at Ayers' and Dohrns' house that launched Obama's political career in 1995, and seven years of collaboration by Obama and Ayers as co-executives of two Leftist nonprofit organizations, including the one that funded the Khalidis' AAAN.
With regard to Ayers' and Dohrn's terrorist history, we will note only that the Weathermen killed five people, wounded or attempted to kill scores of others, and bombed up to 35 buildings; that Ayers boasted of these terrorist actions, affirmed his belief in their moral correctness, and allowed himself to be photographed trampling on the American flag in two interviews published in 2001; and that Obama continued to work with Ayers for at leasta year even after he made these public declarations of non-repentance for his murderous youth.[3]
Less well known are Ayers' extremely anti-Israel views. Here are some samples of his comments about the Arab-Israel conflict on his web blog: "In modern times, the founders of Israel used terrorism against the British and the Palestinians; the Palestinians use terrorism against Israel; and Israel currently employs terror in the service of settlement and occupation;" "A bombing in a café in Israel is terrorism, and an Israeli assault on a neighborhood in Gaza is terrorism;" (note Ayers'use of the moral equivalency argument here, which he also uses to justify his own terrorism in the 1970s); "We name the obstacles to our own freedom, to our humanity. We unite with others. We fight against the obstacles. U.S. war and expansion in Iraq , for example, or Israel's insistence on its right to slowly annihilate the Palestinian people. . ." " ‘How is it,' Edward Said asks, ‘that the premises on which Western support for Israel is based are still maintained even though the reality, the facts, cannot possibly bear these premises out?' ...He's right, of course." (Ayers praises the late Edward Said to the skies in his blog).
He complains about what he calls an Israeli "invasion" of New York City's public schools. According to Ayers, this "invasion" took the form of the removal from the curriculum of a New York City Board of Education teacher training program of a course concerned with the Arab-Israel conflict and the Middle East-taught by none other than his friend Rashid Khalidi, who is now "Edward Said Professor of Arab Studies" at Columbia University, and director of the Middle East Institute of Columbia's School of International and Public Affairs.[4] Khalidi, for his part, in the acknowledgment section of his 2004 book Resurrecting Empire, thanks "Bill" for being "particularly generous in letting me use his family's dining room table to do some writing for the project.". It would seem that both the Khalidi and Ayers dinner tables were very lively places in the 1990s and early 2000s![5]
Barack Obama has never condemned or unambiguously disassociated himself from either the Khalidis' or the Ayers-Dohrn's views about Israel and the Arab-Israel conflict.
Khalid al-Mansour is a somewhat shadowy but nevertheless influential and well-connected figure. In his capacity as a lawyer, he represented the international oil cartel OPEC in an important court case in 1981. Under his birth name Donald Warden in the1960s, Mansour "mentored" the Black Panther party and its leaders, Huey Newton and Bobby Seale, who soon became deeply involved in terrorism. He claims to have acted as a financial and investment adviser to the Saudi billionaire Prince Alwaleed ibn Talal, whom he befriended when the prince was an undergraduate student at Menlo College in California in the 1970s (Prince Alwaleed is the man who offered New York City $10 million dollars to rebuild after 9/11, but made a public statement at the same time alleging that the United States was partially to blame for the attack because of its support for Israel; New York's mayor, Rudy Giuliani, rightly rejected the grant offer). Mansour also claims that Alwaleed introduced him to Saudi Arabia's King Fahd, and that he (Mansour) has in turn introduced King Fahd to over 50 African heads of state. While we cannot verify all of Khalid al-Mansour's claims, there is no question that he is a man with some influence in both African-American and international Muslim political-financial circles.
Mansour was also instrumental in securing Barack Obama's admission to Harvard University law school, and hence in his subsequent rise to political prominence. According to the now retired, but then very powerful, African-American New York City politician Percy Sutton, Mansour approached him in 1988 and asked him to intervene to secure the admission of Obama, whom he described as a "genius," to Sutton's alma mater, Harvard Law School. Mansour also told Sutton that he was raising money to finance Obama's future law studies at Harvard. Sutton duly wrote to his contacts at Harvard Law School that Obama was a "genius," although he had apparently never met him; and Obama was duly admitted, despite mediocre grades as an undergraduate at Columbia.[6]
Of course Obama's eventual graduation from the Harvard Law School immeasurably improved his prospects for a political career. But why did Mansour help Obama in this way? How, when and where did Mansour come to know Obama? Who brought these two men together? These are important questions whose answers we do not know, but we think the American people have a right to know them before they cast their ballots for the next President.
What we do know is that Mansour holds views that can reasonably be regarded as both anti-Israel and anti-Jewish, not to mention anti-white. For example, he asserts that it is a "lie" that "Ashkenazi" (European) Jews are descended from the ancient Israelites, and that they therefore have no legitimate claim to Palestine, which they "stole" from its rightful Arab owners. According to Mansour, European Jews are really descended from a Central Asian tribe known as the Khazars, not the ancient Jews. This is a theory that was invented by American (white) racists in the late nineteenth century, was strongly endorsed by the Nazis, and has recently been adopted by the PLO, other Arab and Muslim propagandists, as well as the (white racist, Aryanist) Christian Identity movement in the United States. Mansour has also said in a video-recorded speech that American blacks have a right to kill and even torture whites as revenge for the wrongs that whites have done them.[7]
We hope that by now nearly everyone who follows the news knows, as they certainly should know, of the sermon in which Barack Obama's pastor for over 20 years, the Reverend Jeremiah Wright, repeatedly exclaimed, "God d*** America " just a few years ago. Some of Wright's other unpatriotic sentiments and unsubstantiated accusations against America may be less well known - for example, that he regards the bombing of the World Trade Center as "chickens coming home to roost" for America's bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, its extermination of the American Indians, its alleged support for South African "apartheid" and its alleged support for Israeli "genocide" against the Palestinians; and that he has alleged that the United States invented the AIDS virus and deliberately spread it in Africa in order to exterminate black people.
Least well known, perhaps, is Wright's fierce hostility to Israel. As we have seen, Wright has accused Israel of "genocide;" he has also repeatedly characterized it as an "apartheid" state; and he has expressed support for the terrorist organization Hamas, which openly seeks Israel's destruction and has murdered hundreds of Israeli civilians. He has supported calls for U.S. businesses to "disinvest" in Israel, and has equated the current disinvestment campaign against Israel with the previous disinvestment campaign against white-ruled "apartheid" South Africa - a standard anti-Israel propaganda line. He has compared what he regards as the vindictiveness of America towards its enemies today with what he depicts as the vindictiveness of the ancient Israelites towards their enemies, the Babylonians. Wright even went so far, in one sermon, as to call the very word "Israel" a "dirty word." Only last year, in November 2007, through his journal The Trumpet, Wright gave a ‘lifetime achievement" award to the notorious anti-Semite, Israel-hater and racist Louis Farrakhan, and lavished praise on the old demagogue.
The facts make it difficult for us to believe that Barack Obama disagrees strongly with Wright's views about either America or Israel. Wright was the pastor of the only church to which Obama has ever belonged - Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago. Obama remained in that church for over 20 years while Wright was its pastor, and only left it in May 31st of this year - after Wright had retired. Wright married Barack and Michelle Obama and baptized their children, as Obama himself was quick to point out when his relationship with Wright was first questioned early in the spring of 2008. Obama has repeatedly described Wright as his spiritual advisor and mentor, and has publicly lauded him as a "great leader;" he even took the title of his second book, The Audacity of Hope, from a sermon by Wright. He only publicly disassociated himself from Wright when he came under intense public pressure to do so. [8]
Louis Farrakhan's anti-Semitic, anti-Israel and anti-white views, including his description of Judaism as a "gutter religion," are too familiar to require recapitulation here. But we should note that the entire religious-political ideology of Farrakhan's organization, the Nation of Islam, is built on a foundation of racist myth; NOI maintains that blacks are "the original nation of earth," and whites are not indigenous to our planet, but were created by a mad black scientist named Jakub 6,600 years ago. We should also recall that Louis Farrakhan is widely suspected within the African-American community to having had a hand in the assassination of Malcolm X; Malcolm's daughter even tried to hire a hit-man to eliminate Farrakhan in revenge.
In spite of Louis Farrakhan's extremely dubious record, Barack Obama has done some work for him in the past; and he has apparently been rewarded for it by political support from Farrakhan in his bid for the Presidency. Obama helped Farrakhan organize the Million Man March to Washington in 1995, supposedly aimed at instilling greater self-esteem in Black men; and he addressed the assembled crowd in Washington from the same rostrum as Farrakhan, who was the principal and featured speaker. While a member of the Illinois State Senate, Obama had three members of the Nation of Islam, the organization headed by Farrakhan, on his staff. He still has a member of the NOI on his U.S. Senatorial staff, working in his Chicago office and assigned to "constituency services." More recently, Farrakhan has strongly endorsed Obama's candidacy for President, and has even suggested to his congregation that Obama may be the Messiah, or at least the Messiah's "herald." Obama, for his part, condemned Farrakhan's anti-Semitic "comments" when asked about it during a debate with Hillary Clinton; but he pointedly declined to reject Farrakhan's endorsement.[9]
Jesse Jackson denies being an official part of the Barack Obama campaign, and the campaign's headquarters supports his denial; but no one denies that Obama and Jackson have been close over the years. The way Jackson puts it,Obama is "a neighbor or, better still, a member of the family." New York Post reporter Amir Taheri points out that "Jackson's son has been a close friend of Obama for years, and Jackson's daughter went to school with Obama's wife Michelle." "We helped him start his career," Taheri quotes Jackson as having told him. "And then we were always there to help him move ahead. He is the continuation of our struggle for justice not only for the black people but also for all those who have been wronged." Jesse Jackson's son, Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr., who represents the Illinois' 2nd congressional district, serves as a national co-chairman of the Barack Obama Presidential campaign.
It is therefore a matter of legitimate concern when Taheri reported in the New York Post that Jackson had told a meeting of a group called the World Policy Forum, which met in Evian, France in early October that "‘decades of putting Israel's interests first' would end" under Barack Obama's administration. According to Taheri, "Jackson believes that, although ‘Zionists who have controlled American policy for decades' remain strong, they'll lose a great deal of their clout when Barack Obama enters the White House.'" After an account of Jackson's remarks at the policy forum and in a subsequent interview with Taheri was published by the Post on October 14, Jackson issued a statement claiming that "The recent column in the New York Post by Amir Taheri in no way represents my views on Middle East peace and security. The writer is selectively imposing his own point of view, and distorting mine. I have a long held position of a two state solution to achieve peace in the Middle East. I stand forthrightly for the security and stability of Israel, its protection from any form of hostility, and a peaceful, non-violent resolution to co-existing with its Palestinian neighbors." Jackson specifically denied having used the word "Zionist;" but he did not deny outright the other words attributed to him by the Post reporter. Both Jackson and the Obama campaign issued statements denying that Jackson had spoken with Obama recently about the policies he intends to pursue towards Israel.
However, Amir Taheri is an experienced and respected journalist, making it seem highly unlikely to us that he fabricated Jackson's reported remarks out of whole cloth; and Jackson certainly knows Obama well enough to make at least an "educated guess" about what policies Obama will adopt, as President, towards Israel and the American Jewish community. And we should not forget the facts that Jackson employed Louis Farrakhan as a "warm-up speaker" during his own campaign for the Presidency in 1984, or that he referred to Jews as "Hymies" and New York City as "Hymietown" during that campaign. Whatever influence Jackson may have exerted on Obama's thinking about Israel and Jews over the years is most unlikely to be helpful to either.[10]
Politicians have a way of repaying the political debts that they owe to those who have helped them, directly or indirectly, to climb up the political ladder to high office. It is therefore a matter of the utmost concern to us that many of the political debts that Barack Obama owes are to Israel-haters, Israel-bashers, and/or anti-Semites.

A college instructor who worked as a senior elections clerk for the city and county of Honolulu in 2008 is making the stunning claim Barack Obama was definitely not born in Hawaii as the White House maintains, and that a long-form, hospital-generated birth certificate for Obama does not even exist in the Aloha State.
Tim Adams, a former senior elections clerk for Honolulu, now teaches English at Western Kentucky University. "There is no birth certificate," said Tim Adams, a graduate assistant who teaches English at Western Kentucky University in Bowling Green, Ky. "It's like an open secret. There isn't one. Everyone in the government there knows this." Adams, who says he's a Hillary Clinton supporter who ended up voting for John McCain when Clinton lost the Democratic nomination to Obama, told WND, "I managed the absentee-ballot office. It was my job to verify the voters' identity."
He says during the 2008 campaign when the issue of Obama's constitutional eligibility first arose, the elections office was inundated with requests to verify the birthplace of the U.S. senator from Illinois. "I had direct access to the Social Security database, the national crime computer, state driver's license information, international passport information, basically just about anything you can imagine to get someone's identity," Adams explained. "I could look up what bank your home mortgage was in. I was informed by my boss that we did not have a birth record [for Obama]."
At the time, there were conflicting reports that Obama had been born at the Queen's Medical Center in Honolulu, as well as the Kapi'olani Medical Center for Women and Children across town. So Adams says his office checked with both facilities. "They told us, 'We don't have a birth certificate for him,'" he said. "They told my supervisor, either by phone or by e-mail, neither one has a document that a doctor signed off on saying they were present at this man's birth."
To date, no Hawaiian hospital has provided documented confirmation that Obama was born at its facility. Copy of original long-form birth certificate of Susan Nordyke, born in Honolulu the day after Obama's reported birthdate. President Obama has never produced any document like this
WND confirmed with Hawaiian
US Presidential Polls:Obama, McCain slug it out today
By SOLOMON ASOWATA WITH AGENCY REPORTS
WASHINGTON – Americans will today go to the polls to elect their next President with Democratic Party candidate, Senator Barack Obama largely favoured to win.
The Kenyan-born Senator will, however, face a stiff competition from his Republican counterpart, John McCain who has taken the presidential battle to the finishing line with vigorous campaign strategies.
The other candidates are Cynthia Mckinney (Green Party), Bob Barr (Libertarian Party), Chuk Baldwin (Constitution Party) and Ralph Nader who is running as an independent candidate.
Aiming for a last-minute upset, Republican John McCain embarked on a grueling odyssey through seven swing states yesterday while Democrat Barack Obama was headed toward three long time GOP bastions that have become Democratic-learning battle grounds in the historic presidential contest.
Obama, cruising comfortably ahead in national and many battle ground state polls, started his day with a late morning rally in Jacksonville, before heading to events in Virginia and North Carolina.
His efforts are being buoyed by former presidential candidate, Al Gore, former President Bill Clinton and his wife, Senator Hillary Rodman Clinton, as well as other top democrats who have tightened their hold on the country with the aim of wrestling power from the Republicans, whose eight years in the White House have failed to produce the desired effects on majority of Americans as well as the economy.
It is widely believed that the President George Bush administration had alienated a lot of Americans due to its unpopular war campaigns in Iraq and Afghanistan where trillions of dollars which could have been used for the benefit of American people, were wasted.
This belief, coupled with the present global financial crunch, according to political pundits, across the world, makes Obama the ideal presidential candidate for the White House.
Bye Bye Birth Certificate

Now you are going to say Obama's children are not Muslim. YES they ARE!!!!! Muslims stem from the Daddy not the Mommy. Obama's grandfather and Father and Adopted Father were Muslims. He was raised as a Muslim. He attends Mosques and by entering one and reinvents his faith. His Children were "baptized" for show not for faith. They are not brought to Church as Committed Christians would go to Church but once they reach their age of puberty they will have to marry Muslim men. Muslim women must marry Muslim Men .. Muslim Men can marry non Muslim women.
Below is why Obama has been placed in Office... now Obama surrounds himself with a Muslim Advisors who are part of the Muslim Brotherhood. Dalia Mogahed is one..... For those who dont know who they are here is a clip... Obama is a Muslim.... There are no Moderate Muslim America they are in the halls of congress now vote them out!
Stakelbeck on Terror - The Muslim Brotherhood in America

The organization shares the same goals as al Qaeda, but some experts believe -- as a long-term threat to American security -- the Brotherhood is more dangerous than Osama bin Laden's followers.
Watch as former FBI special agent John Guandolo, ex-CIA officer Brian Fairchild and leading investigative journalist Patrick Poole break down the Brotherhood's history, goals and its infiltration of leading U.S. government and educational institutions
Also, stay with CBNNews.com for part two of their discussion on the Oct. 4 edition of Stakelbeck on Terror. The panel will give recommendations on how America can fight back against the Muslim Brotherhood's threat.

SUBLET AVAILABLE: Three-room railroad flat, third floor, West 109th Street. Near Columbia University. Ideal for roommates who do not need privacy, reliable heat or steady hot water. Kitchen modest, but take out available, including New York bagels for only a quarter.
Such were the accommodations that greeted the future president, Barack Obama, when he moved to New York in 1981 to pursue his undergraduate studies at Columbia, according to the recollections of Phil Boe
rner, his roommate for a semester.
Both men were transfer students from Occidental College in Los Angeles, and as transfers were locked out of university housing at the time. Mr. Obama, 20, a junior, had spent two years at Occidental, where he had lived in the same dorm as Mr. Boerner.
Mr. Obama, who ultimately made Chicago, and now Washington, his home, enjoyed his New York years, Mr. Boerner recalls. Museums. Jogging in the park. Breakfasts atTom’s on Broadway, not yet the celebrated hangout of Jerry Seinfeld and George Costanza.
“I miss New York and the people in it,” he would write Mr. Boerner a few years after they graduated. “The subways, the feel of Manhattan streets, the view downtown from the Brooklyn Bridge.”
The apartment they shared, however, took some getting used to, Mr. Boerner recalled: 3E at 142 West 109th Street, a five-story building between Amsterdam and Columbus Avenues.
Mr. Obama has recalled spending his first night in New York in an alley near the apartment, after arriving too late to be let in. The apartment had no interior doors, just archways, and Mr. Boerner had to walk through Mr. Obama’s room to reach his own. Hot water was scarce, and the two young men often showered at the Columbia gym.
“It had a bathtub but no shower, just one of those plastic shower things that works ineffectively,’’ said Mr. Boerner, who also recounted his experience with Mr. Obama in an essay he wrote this month for Columbia College Today, an alumni publication.
Mr. Boerner, who lives in California and is a registered Democrat, said he had kept his recollections to himself during the campaign, but thought he would share them now as his friend makes history.
When they lived together, Mr. Boerner said he thought Mr. Obama wanted to be a writer, not a politician. Columbia recently tracked down, with the help of a graduate, one piece that Mr. Obama wrote in his senior year about two antiwar groups on campus for a now-defunct student periodical called “Sundial.’’ (See above.)
In it, he is already using phrases like “distorted national priorities” and “shifting America off the dead-end track,’’ which foreshadow messages of his later years.
“He’ll be a great president because of his intelligence and even more because of his good heart,’’ Mr. Boerner said.
New York was on the rebound when Mr. Obama arrived in New York. Ronald Reagan was president. Edward I. Koch was mayor and the city’s fiscal crisis had just started to abate.
Life for Columbia students could be hard, however. Mr. Boerner recalls Mr. Obama wrapping himself in a green sleeping bag (seen in this photo Mr. Boerner took) to keep warm when they studied at home. They listened to reggae. Bob Marley. Peter Tosh. Talked philosophy. Theories of justice and John Rawls. Mr. Boerner recalled Mr. Obama joking that he would rather be spending his time pondering Lou Rawls, the singer.
Some nights Mr. Obama would whip up some chicken curry, a dish he learned from a Pakistani friend. Other meals were at Tom’s.
“We would just go there for the breakfast special, two eggs over easy and toast,’’ said Mr. Boerner. “It was like $1.99, and we lived on a lot of bagels. They were, like, a quarter then, but they expanded in your stomach.’’
They also ventured out to Mr. Boerner’s family farm in the Catskills, where Mr. Obama helped with morning chores.
Though the two men stayed in touch, the housing arrangement ended that winter. Mr. Boerner thinks the leaseholder took the apartment back. Mr. Obama recalled in his memoir giving up the place “for lack of heat.’’
The 1982-83 student directory shows Mr. Obama living in his senior year at Apartment 6A of 339 East 94th Street. His letters to Mr. Boerner reflected the wistfulness of all expatriate New Yorkers.
“I am still amazed when I think of what we put up with there,” he wrote Mr. Boerner in October 1986. “Still, I think you’ll find you miss it once you’ve been gone awhile.”
