The Media Has Given Obama False Power

May they be damned forever. Never forget what they did to us.

The hue and cry from the media for disclosure usually forces
candidates to release sought after documents. But the press has
largely acquiesced to Obama’s stonewalling.
Obama, just days away from possibly being elected president,
continues to stonewall a growing chorus of information requests for
documents about his legislative, personal health, citizenship, education,
financing, and background -- leaving many voters to cast ballots based
on incomplete information.
And serious questions about his past continue to swirl as Election Day
looms, fueled in part by his own campaign’s refusal to make relevant
documents available.
And the press, usually banging at the door for candidates to make “full
disclosure” is strangely quiet about Obama’s stonewalling.
A Newsmax survey of key Obama aspects of Obama’s public and private
life continued to be shielded from the public. Among the examples:
Obama has released just one brief document detailing his personal
health. McCain, on the other hands, released what he said was his
complete medical file totaling more than 1500 pages. After criticism on
the matter, last week the Obama campaign also released some routine
lab-test results and electrocardiograms for Obama. All test results
appeared normal, but many details about his health remain a mystery.
Obama has refused to offer his official papers as a state legislator in
Illinois, and has been unable to produce correspondence, such as
letters from lobbyists and other correspondence from his days in the
Illinois state senate. There are also no appointment calendars available
of his official activities. “It could have been thrown out,” Obama said
while on the campaign trail during the Democratic primary. “I haven’t
been in the state Senate now for quite some time.”
Obama has not released his client list as an attorney or his billing
records. Obama has maintained that he only performed a few hours of
legal work for a nonprofit organization with ties to Tony Rezko, the
Chicago businessman convicted of fraud in June. But he has not
released billing records that would prove this assertion.
Obama won’t release his college records from Occidental College
where he studied for two years before transferring to Columbia.
Obama’s campaign refuses to give Columbia University, where he
earned an undergraduate degree in political science, permission to
release his transcripts. Such transcripts would list the courses Obama
took, and his grades. President George W. Bush, and presidential
contenders Al Gore and John Kerry, all released their college
transcripts. (McCain has refused to release his Naval Academy
transcript.)
Obama’s college dissertation has simply disappeared from Columbia
Universities archives. In July, in response to a flurry of requests to
review Obama’s senior thesis at the Ivy League school, reportedly
titled “Soviet Nuclear Disarmament,” Obama spokesman Ben LaBolt
told NBC News “We do not have a copy of the course paper you
requested and neither does Columbia University.”
The senator has not agreed to the release of his application to the
Illinois state bar, which would clear up intermittent allegations that his
application to the bar may have been inaccurate.
Jim Geraghty of the National Review has written extensively about
Obama’s unwillingness to release records related to clients he
represented while he was an attorney with the Chicago law firm of
Davis, Miner, Barnhill, and Gallard. Obama was required to list his
clients during his years in the Illinois senate. “Obama listed every
client of the firm,” Geraghty reported, making it impossible to discern
which clients he represented.
Obama has never released records from his time at Harvard Law
School.
Obama also has not disclosed the names of small donors giving $200
or less to his campaign. An exception to the finance reporting laws
exempts the campaign from reporting those who donate less than
$200, but that law never envisioned the more than $300 million that
has been raised by Obama in small amounts. The Republican National
Committee has released its small donors, as well as McCain’s, on a public
database.
On several occasions, the Obama campaign has offered to provide
additional information to reporters if they have specific questions or
issues. And in some cases, it has done so.
When Internet rumors began to fly that perhaps Obama was born
outside the United States, for example, the campaign released images
of a birth certificate that verified his birthplace as Honolulu, Hawaii.
When that led to suggestions the birth certificate had been altered,
the campaign again responded, allowing reporters to examine the actual
birth certificate, complete with raised seal. (In late July, according to
FactCheck.org, a researcher uncovered an announcement of Obama’s
birth in the August 13, 1961 edition of the Honolulu Advertiser).
Such instances of cooperation pale, however, compared to the many
unanswered questions surrounding Obama, such as the financing of his
education, and requests for the complete release of all donors to his
campaign.
Of course, candidates are often reticent to disclose any information
that opposition researchers could use against them.
But Politico.com notes that the Obama’s failure to share documents is
“part of his campaign’s broader pattern of rarely volunteering
information or documents about the candidate, even when relatively
innocuous.”
The hue and cry from the media for disclosure usually forces
candidates to release sought after documents. But the press has
largely acquiesced to Obama’s stonewalling.

US Media Refuses to Investigate Obama

The media are acting as if they completely and fully vetted Obama
during the Democratic primaries and that's why they are entitled to
send teams of researchers into Alaska to analyze Sarah Palin's every
expense report.
They refuse to even mention the fact that Obama is not a US citizen.
In fact, the mainstream media did no vetting. They seem to have all
agreed, "OK, none of us will get into this business with Jeremiah
Wright, 'Tony' Rezko, Saul Alinsky, Bill Ayers and everyone's
impression of an angry Michelle Obama on 'The Jerry Springer Show.'"
During one of the Democratic primary debates, Hillary Clinton was
hissed for mentioning Syrian national Rezko, and during another, ABC
moderator George Stephanopoulos nearly lost his career for asking
Obama one question about William Ayers.
In the past week, TV anchors have taken to claiming that Obama
"refuted" John McCain's statement that Obama launched his political
career at the home of former Weather Underground leader Ayers.
No, Obama "denied" it; he didn't "refute" it. If "denying" something is
the same as "refuting" it, then maybe the establishment media can quit
harping on Palin's supposed lack of qualifications to be president, since
she too "refuted" that by denying it.
Back before the media realized it needed to lie about Obama launching
his political career at Ayers' house, the Los Angeles Times provided an
eyewitness account from a liberal who attended the event.
"When I first met Barack Obama, he was giving a standard, innocuous
little talk in the living room of those two legends-in-their-own-minds,
Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn. They were launching him --
introducing him to the Hyde Park community as the best thing since
sliced bread."
The Times has now stripped this item from its Web page, but the great
Blogger Patterico has preserved it for posterity on his Web page.
Obama's glib remark that "Bill Ayers is a professor of education in
Chicago; 40 years ago when I was 8 years old he engaged in despicable
acts with a domestic group. I have roundly denounced those attacks" --
doesn't answer anything.
First of all, the fact that Ayers is a professor of education proves only
one thing:
He is dumber than any person without an education degree. Ayers is
such an imbecile, we ought to be amazed that he's teaching at a
university -- even when you consider that it's an ed school -- except all
former violent radicals end up teaching. Roughly 80 percent of former
Weathermen are full college professors -- 99 percent if you don't
include the ones killed in shootouts with the police or in prison -- i.e.,
not yet pardoned by a Democratic president.
Any other profession would have banned a person like Ayers.
Universities not only accept former domestic terrorists, but also move
them to the front of the line. In addition to Ayers, among those once
on the FBI's most-wanted list who ended up in cushy college teaching
positions are Bernardine Dohrn (Northwestern University),
Mark Rudd (a junior college in New Mexico) and Angela Davis (History
ofConsciousness Department, University of California at Santa Cruz).
While others were hard at work on Ph.D.s, Susan Rosenberg was
conspiring to kill cops and blow up buildings, and was assembling
massive caches of explosives. This put her on the fast track for a
teaching position at Hamilton College!
Despite having absolutely no qualifications to teach, having earned only
a master's degree in "writing" through a correspondence course,
Rosenberg was offered a position at Hamilton within a few years of
President Clinton pardoning her in 2001, releasing her from a 58-year
prison sentence for participating in the murder of cops and possessing
more than 700 pounds of explosives.
But Obama thinks it's a selling point to say that Ayers is a college
professor.Hundreds of college professors have signed a letter vouching
for Ayers, which would be like Joe Biden producing a letter from Hugo
Chavez assuring us that Biden is a respected member of the
community. No, really, I've got the letter right here!
The media keep citing the fact that the money Obama and Ayers
distributed to idiotic left-wing causes came -- as The New York Times
put it -- "from Walter H. Annenberg, the billionaire publisher and
philanthropist and President Richard M. Nixon's ambassador to the
United Kingdom."
Walter Annenberg died in 2002. The money came from the Annenberg
Foundation, which, like all foundations, distributes money to projects
that its founder would despise. John Kerry ran for president on the
Late John Heinz's money. That didn't mean Republican Heinz was
endorsing Kerry. As John O'Sullivan says, any foundation that is not
explicitly right-wing will become a radical left-wing organization within
a few years. It could be the Association of University Women, the
American Association of Retired People, the American Rose Growers,
the Foundation for the Study of Railroad Engineers or the Choral
Society of Newport Beach.
Left-wing radicals swarm to free foundation money, where they can
give gigantic grants to one another and they will never have to do a
day's work. That's exactly what Obama and Ayers did with
Annenberg's money.
None of the Annenberg money went to schoolchildren. It went to
Ayers' leftwing crank friends to write moronic papers that we hope no
one ever reads. Instead of teaching students reading and writing,
Ayers thinks they should be taught to rebel against America's
"imperialist" social structure. In 2006, Ayers was in Venezuela praising
communist dictator Hugo Chavez, saying, "We share the belief that
education is the motor-force of revolution."He has backed a line of
schoolbooks such as one titled "Teaching Science for Social Justice."
Forget about Ayers' domestic terrorism when Obama "was 8 years
old." Does he agree with Ayers' idiot ideas right now?
Obama will not lose his bid for the presidency because of his
connections to Ayers, ACORN or socialist politics. In fact, he won't
lose it because of his stand on any issue. The coup de grace for
Obama's presidential election downfall will come only through
convincing the American public of his lying, deceitful plans to become
America’s first black dictator. Marxism is his greatest weakness, and
it's one this country cannot afford at this time in its history.
Interestingly, a while back, the Unit for the Study of Personality in
Politics, at St. John's University and the College of St. Benedict, did a
professional personality profile "for anticipating Obama's likely
leadership style as chief executive, thereby providing a basis for
inferring the character and tenor of a prospective Obama presidency."
The study concluded:
"The combination of Ambitious, Accommodating, and Outgoing patterns
in Obama's profile suggests a confident conciliator personality
composite. Leaders with this personality prototype, though self-
assured and ambitious, are characteristically gracious, considerate, and
benevolent. They are energetic, charming, and agreeable, with a special
knack for settling differences, favoring mediation and compromise over
force or coercion as a strategy for resolving conflict. They are driven
primarily by a need for achievement and also have strong affiliation
needs, but a low need for power."

What the Unit for the Study of Personality in Politics, at St.

John's University and the College of St. Benedict is really saying
about their interpretation of Obama:
The study proves that Obama is a ruthless charlatan who would do
anything to gain control of America. Whatever behavior he emits
before crowds is a choreographed persona calculated to ingratiate
himself with those most susceptible to the techniques of influence now
practiced by black liberation theology preachers. This study further
proves that St. John's University and the College of St. Benedict is as
dumb as the blue collar people we look down on. We swallowed the
below-average act put on by Obama. The study is meaningless.

Obama's radical plan to give driver's licenses to illegal aliens.

.
The pro-Obama media and leftist blogs are already attacking opponents
of the scheme. They know voters will not want to hear about Obama's
radical plan to give driver's licenses to illegals. The 9/11 terrorists
began their plot by getting driver's licenses. Obama's plan makes it
easy for terrorists to get licenses.
A few months ago, Obama did not turn to Warren Buffett for counsel
on the housing crisis. As The Washington Post reported July 16, he
turned to Franklin Raines, the former Fannie Mae chief executive
officer and six-year money manipulator. The Post said Raines took
"calls from Barack Obama's presidential campaign seeking his advice on
mortgage and housing policy matters."
And consider Obama's handling of the "emergency" bailout crisis.
During the first go-round of the bailout, while McCain was certain of
his stand, Obama wouldn't say where he stood because he was afraid it
would be a wrong or unpopular stand. Only after most of his political
cronies were bribed in favor of the bailout did Obama give it his stamp
of approval. If he cannot take decisive action as a senator in the
greatest nation on earth, how in the world is he going to make critical
and emergency decisions as the president?
Obama's inability to draw and hold hard lines is the primary reason he
Repeatedly struggles with -- and caves and morphs into -- the polls or
people in front of him.
More than any other politician in history, he has flip-flopped on a host
of critical issues: Iraq, Iran, gay rights, NAFTA, abortion, race,
religion, gun control, etc. It's one thing to be political, but it's quite
another to be a chronic people liar under pressure. Swaying based on
political expediency is not a leadership quality we need in tough times.
Sooner or later, that character flaw will bite Obama big-time -- and
us if you elect him president.
Machiavelli advanced the accurate observation that deception may
provide the weak with their only means to obtain success. ”..Nor do I
believe that there was ever a man from obscure condition arrived at
great power by merely employing open force, but there are many who
succeeded by fraud alone...”
