Obama’s efforts to connect to the Republican Party, specifically Bush, and Dick Chaney, of the Halliburton Company, dates back to the Presidents Grandfather, Prescott Bush, and indeed Chaney was once an executive officer of Halliburton. The American military pounds Iraq with Artillary, bombs, and the like, destroying large sections of cities, and infra-structures, then Halliburton comes in to rebuild. Halliburton and Halliburton associated companies have raked in ten’s of billions. Obama is just like the BIG HALIBURTAN. Haliburton has contracted to build detention centers in the U.S. similiar to the one in Quantanammo Bay, Cuba. Halliburton does nothing to earn the Two Dollars for each meal an American Serviceman in Iraq eats. http://www.halliburtonwatch.org/ Halliburton was scheduled to take control of the Dubai Ports in The United Arab Emiirate. The deal was canceled when Bush was unable to affect the transfer of the American Ports. Now we see what some might suspect as similiar financial escapading from the Democrats. Two years ago, Iraq’s Ministry of Electricity gave a $50 million contract to a start-up security company - Companion- owned by now-indicted businessman (TONY REZKO) Tony Rezko and a onetime Chicago cop, Daniel T. Frawley, to train Iraqi power-plant guards in the United States. An Iraqi leadership change left the deal in limbo. Now the company, Companion Security, is working to revive its contract. Involved along with Antoin “Tony” Rezco, long time friend and neighbor of Democratic Presidential hopeful Barack Obama, and former cop Daniel T. Frawley, is Aiham Alsammarae. Alsammarae was accused of financial corruption by Iraqi authorities and jailed in Iraq last year before escaping and returning here. LIKE FATHER LIKE SON — Obama should be vetted and disclose his connection to the criminal money generating underworld. Besides, his connections to the REZCO MAFIA types, his up-coming tax fraud charges — Obama needs to disclose why he is a MUSLIM “PATWANG-FWEEE” and stop suppoting our intervention in IRAQ. It’s time to introduce this false, fake Xerox - X box Obama and invite the self-indicting thief plagiarizing pipsqueke “GLORK” Xerox - X box to meet the Buffalo “GAZOWNT-GAZIKKA” Police Department Buffalo Creek. He is MAD!!! — OBAM YOUR NO JFK — “GLORK” Obama looks like Alfred E. Newman: “Tales Calculated To Drive You.” He is a MUSLIM “Glork” He’s MAD!!! Alfred E. Neuman is the fictional mascot of Mad. The face had drifted through American pictography for decades before being claimed by Mad editor Harvey Kurtzman after he spotted it on the bulletin board in the office of Ballantine Books editor Bernard Shir-Cliff, later a contributor to various magazines created by Kurtzman. Obama needs to disclose why he is a MUSLIM “PATWANG-FWEEE” and stop suppoting our intervention in IRAQ. It’s time to introduce this false, fake “GLORK” Xerox - X box Obama and invite the self-indicting thief plagiarizing pipsqueke Xerox - X box to meet the Buffalo “GAZOWNT-GAZIKKA” Police Department Buffalo Creek.

You are totally off the point what I was saying which is you need to research information before making statements. Obama was sworn in on a Bible, and does pledge allegiance to the flag. And my Father is a true Marine who fought in Vietnam. I understand the importance that is put into our flag and proud to wave it. I just think more thought should be put into our people. I’m entitled to my opinion as you are yours. It makes neither of us right or wrong. We just have to agree to disagree and move on. God Bless!

try this on girlie: Obama’s Afrocentric, Bush-Hating Church As readers here know, there has been some recent controversy about Barack Obama’s religious background. Mr. Obama has recently issued statements through his spokesmen in the media (i.e., reporters) which express his shock at being questioned about such things. Most of his media spokesmen (i.e., reporters) have then gone on to cite his membership in Chicago’s Trinity United Church Of Christ parish as proof that he is just a regular run of the mill American Christian. But a visit to the Trinity Church’s website proves that it is not your everyday Christian parish: Trinity United Church of Christ About Us We are a congregation which is Unashamedly Black and Unapologetically Christian… Our roots in the Black religious experience and tradition are deep, lasting and permanent. We are an African people, and remain “true to our native land,” the mother continent, the cradle of civilization. God has superintended our pilgrimage through the days of slavery, the days of segregation, and the long night of racism. It is God who gives us the strength and courage to continuously address injustice as a people, and as a congregation. We constantly affirm our trust in God through cultural expression of a Black worship service and ministries which address the Black Community. Trinity United Church of Christ adopted the Black Value System written by the Manford Byrd Recognition Committee chaired by Vallmer Jordan in 1981. We believe in the following 12 precepts and covenantal statements. These Black Ethics must be taught and exemplified in homes, churches, nurseries and schools, wherever Blacks are gathered. They must reflect on the following concepts: Commitment to God Commitment to the Black Community Commitment to the Black Family Dedication to the Pursuit of Education Dedication to the Pursuit of Excellence Adherence to the Black Work Ethic Commitment to Self-Discipline and Self-Respect Disavowal of the Pursuit of “Middleclassness” Pledge to make the fruits of all developing and acquired skills available to the Black Community Pledge to Allocate Regularly, a Portion of Personal Resources for Strengthening and Supporting Black Institutions Pledge allegiance to all Black leadership who espouse and embrace the Black Value System Personal commitment to embracement of the Black Value System. The Pastor as well as the membership of Trinity United Church of Christ is committed to a 10-point Vision: A congregation committed to ADORATION. A congregation preaching SALVATION. A congregation actively seeking RECONCILIATION. A congregation with a non-negotiable COMMITMENT TO AFRICA. A congregation committed to BIBLICAL EDUCATION. A congregation committed to CULTURAL EDUCATION. A congregation committed to the HISTORICAL EDUCATION OF AFRICAN PEOPLE IN DIASPORA. A congregation committed to LIBERATION. A congregation committed to RESTORATION. A congregation working towards ECONOMIC PARITY.

Obama’s Religion & Conspiracy Theories.Obama is a committed Christian and attends Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago. Obama Was Baptized And Attends Church Once a Week When He is Able.Obama Found Faith During Community Organizing Days. “It was at Trinity United Church of Christ here, in the late 1980s, that Senator Obama says he found religion.Obama Held His Personal Bible When He Was Sworn-In As A U.S. Senator. Obama Reads The Bible, Finds Time to Pray On Campaign Trail.Trinity UCC is predominately African American, but it does include and welcome non-Black members. The Rev. Jane Fisler-Hoffman, Illinois Conference Minister, who is white, has been a member of the congregation for years.Another e-mail claim that Obama ‘is a Muslim,’ attended a ‘Wahabi’ school in Indonesia, took his Senate oath on the Koran, refuses to recite the Pledge of Allegiance and is part of an Islamic plot to take over the U.S. Each of these statements is false. These false appeals to bigotry and fear. He has never been a Muslim and was not raised as a Muslim. The Illinois senator was raised ‘in a secular household in Indonesia by his stepfather and mother’.Indonesian Embassy says that Besuki School Attended by Barack Obama “has never been an Islamic madrassah type of school.” .Obama is a Patirot.Obama is a Patriot who loves is flag and his country.Obama voted to require the Pledge of Allegiance to be recited each school day by students in secondary education institutions receiving public funds.Obama’s grandfather taught him how to say the Pledge of Allegiance when he was 2 years old…During the Pledge of Allegiance you put your hand over your heart. During the national anthem you sing..“‘Senator Obama’s attackers are peddling lies and smears because they disagree with his strong opposition to the war in Iraq and the rush to war in Iran,’ wrote Richard Danzig, secretary of the Navy under President Bill Clinton, and retired Gens. Merrill “Tony” McPeak and J. Scott Gration. ‘We have served this nation for decades, and we know a true patriot when we see one. Barack Obama is a patriot.’”.Des Moines Register: Obama Was Right About Wearing The Flag Pin And True Patriotism..Washington Post Awarded “The Scoundrel” Who Put The Obama/Pledge Of Allegiance Email Into Circulation “Four Pinocchios” On Its Fact Checking Scale, Which Classifies The Attack As A “Whopper.”.Obama reciting Pledge of Allegiance in on youtube, please checkout

OBAMA is the best candidate. He is not playing old politics…he is new and fresh. Hasnt been contaminated. He is trying to bring about a better America. McCainand his wifetried to take Mrs. Obama words out of context…Clinton tried to say Obama was plagiarizing his speech and if you listened to both accusations in its entirety anyone can clearly follow what was said and how it was said. McCain’s wife said she was proud to be an American,however the media left out the part that she had lived a priviledged life in which I interpreted as no struggles. therfore she doesn’t understand hardwork and sacrafice like Mrs.Obama. Get ready America- OBAMA will be the next President of the United States. GOD IS GETTING READY TO BLESS US.

Also as for as saluting our Flag, I don’t believe anyone should be forced to salute anything. Our Flag is a material item, GOD is the only one we should be saluting. GO OBAMA!

When you are running for Commander in Chief of the United States military you ABSOLUTELY DO NOT have a choice as to whether you put your hand over your heart during the National Anthem or the Pledge of Allegiance. Your personal beliefs do not play into anything when you are standing and representing that flag. You want to be Commander in Chief then you stand up straight and you represent or you find another job.

Rezko Sticks to Obama! Obama Discloses New Rezko Details Obama Toured His Now-Home With Rezko Who Was Under Investigation At The Time By RHONDA SCHWARTZ and JUSTIN ROOD Feb. 20, 2008 Font Size E-mail Print Share Watchdog groups are questioning why it took Sen. Barack Obama more than a year to disclose additional details of his dealings with indicted fundraiser Antoin “Tony” Rezko. RELATED STORIES Obama Returns More Rezko-Linked Cash Rezko Locked Up Until Trial Starts Feb. 25 Obama ‘Backer’ Rezko Ordered to Jail Obama Kept Contributions From Accused Fixer’s Wife And Others Political Fixer Rezko Arrested How Much Did an Accused Political Fixer Raise for Obama? What Did Obama Know? When Did He Know It? The Rezko Connection: Obama’s Achilles Heel? TOP BLOTTER STORIES Lawmakers Call for Congress to Probe Bodies Shows in Wake of ‘20/20’ Report Refco Exec Admits to Role in $2.4 Billion Fraud Exclusive: Drug Smugglers Dig Record Number of Tunnels in 2007 While Rezko was known to be under federal investigation, Obama toured a Chicago-area home with him to get his opinion of the property, Obama’s campaign revealed to Bloomberg News for a story published Monday. The politician later bought the home, with Rezko’s help, who bought the adjoining lot in what was effectively a package deal. Until then, Obama has professed trouble recalling such details during interviews with reporters. Responding to questions about Rezko and the home sale last month, the Obama campaign repeatedly cited the candidate’s on-the-record statements: “I don’t recall exactly” conversations about the house with Rezko; “I am not clear” how Rezko decided to join in the purchase; and “I may have mentioned to him the name of a [developer] and he may at that point have contacted that person.” Pressed for more details, the campaign declined to provide any that were not then part of the public record. The junior senator from Illinois has been answering questions on Rezko’s involvement in the house purchase since news of it broke in 2006. In the 2005 deal, Obama purchased a house for $300,000 less than its owners were asking, and Rezko simultaneously bought the adjacent lot from the same seller at full price. Obama denies there was anything unusual about the price disparity. He says the price on the house was dropped because it had been on the market for some time but that the price for the adjacent land remained high because there was another offer. Obama called it “bone-headed” to have engaged in financial dealings with the wealthy Chicago political operative, particularly as federal agents were reported to have been investigating Rezko for alleged corruption. He has also said he was “confident that everything was handled ethically and above board.” The new revelations appear to indicate Obama had involved Rezko at an earlier stage of his home buying process than was previously known, and left many wondering why he had not shared the information sooner.
