OBAMA, MEDIA DARLING OR NOT??
IS OBAMA BLACK? OR IS OBAMA WHITE?
From Penny,
I have heard from many of my friends who are black and white that they are VERY upset that Obama is calling himself "the first BLACK candidate"! I have heard from several of my friends who happen to be black that they are voting for him because of this.......... It is easily verifiable, just check his bio... some of my friends even KNEW his mother also.
Ann Dunham died of ovarian cancer in 1995..... his bio TRUTHFULLY reads she "was WHITE AS MILK"!
It is NOT being "bitchy" .....PLEASE HAVE HER CALL HIM OUT ON IT
IS OBAMA MUSLIM? OR IS OBAMA CHRISTIAN?
From Lane
When Obama was young and at an impressionable age of 6 to 8 he spent two years in a Muslim school. It was after the formidable age that he attended a Christian school. He was also living in a predominantly Muslim country while at the Christian school.
IS OBAMA FOR OR AGAINS THE WAR?
From Ray,
I AM SO SICK AND TIRED OF OBAMA SAYING HE WAS AGAINST THE WAR FROM THE START. HE WAS NOT IN THE SENATE TO VOTE. WHY DON'T YOU TELL HIM THAT. CNN IS GIVING HIM A FREE PASS.

Hillary Story in Wisconsin
I had received an email that Hillary Clinton was making a campaign stop 20minutes from my home on Saturday afternoon. I called my daughter Jeni, andmy girlfriends Jeannie and Pam to go with me. Jeni did not want to give up aSaturday, Jeannie doesn't even like Hillary. But they did it for me. So Jeniand Jeannie and I got there at noon and we ate the longest 3-1/2 hour lunchwe ever had waiting for Hillary to show up, just so we could have good seat.Pam arrived just before Hillary.
Then they announced she was here (Hillary, not Pam!) My heart was beating soloudly in my ears. We were only about 12 feet away from her. It was a largerestaurant (The Brat Stop) and she was in the middle. I could see just fine.She was wearing a blue dress suit, and honestly...she looked sopretty...much prettier in person than the TV makes her look. Much softerthan the personality the press tries to paint of her. She began to speak,and her voice reminded me of myself, when I talk about something Ipassionately believe in. She stated all her beliefs and her strengths andher desires for our country. Every single thing I wanted, she wanted. She isa huge supporter of teachers and education (also dear to Jeni, who teacheshigh school math.) She talked about her record in helping the elderly,Medicaid and prescription drugs (a hero to my parents.) She is a hugeproponent of making sure everyone has insurance (we almost lost our home,because our insurance company wouldn't cover my daughter Kimber's disease,Rett Syndrome.) Everything she said felt like we were best friends, sittingat the kitchen table, just talking about what every family needs in ourcountry.
Then the moment came.
The speech ended. I had printed up signs about my daughter, Kimber, thatsaid: THANK YOU HILLARY, FOR SAVING MY DAUGHTER's LIFE. She began to takequestions. I held up my sign and moved around the room to try and get her tosee it. She took about 8 questions from the audience, then announced shewanted to take time to meet people. So I started to move closer to her. Twoguys, one in front and one behind me, about Jeni's age, literally propelledme towards her in their desire to meet her, too. Then they realized theirbatteries did not work in their camera. So I volunteered to take theirpicture and email it to them. We were so close that I could frame them insuch a way that Hillary was in the middle. Then I gave one of them my signto pass on to her. He was right in front and handed it to Hillary, who wasdoing circles trying to sign autographs for everyone.
Then she stopped.
She looked at the sign and asked, "What is this about?" The guy pointed tome and I leaned forward. We were about three feet away. I told her: "A fewyears ago you fought for funding in Congress, for my daughter's disease,Rett Syndrome." And she nodded and smiled and said, "Yes, I remember." And Itold her, "Since then, that research led to them being able to REVERSE thedisease in mice. YOU SAVED MY DAUGHTER's LIFE! - and... I Thank You!" Neverhave I said those words with such meaning. She kept looking at me, and thenthanked me for telling her. Then I asked if we could have our picture takentogether. She came forward and we stood just inches from each other. Icouldn't even pose. We stood there looking right at each other. Our eyessaying what our words could not. I began to cry. I was so thankful, and sograteful and so happy at that moment to see the look in her eyes. It was nota candidate for President, it was one Mother to another, with a chance toshare something deeper. I will never forget her eyes. My mother always said,you can tell a person by their eyes. And I knew at that moment, that she wasfor real. That she does care about everything and yes, everyone, she fightsfor.
We both then turned and looked at the camera, and it is the prettiest,happiest picture you will ever see of Hillary, and the worse cry-babypicture you will ever see of me, but I don't care. The important thing is, Ihave always believed, and now I know for SURE, that she is THE ONE.
Tuesday, all of us here in Wisconsin, will have a chance to propel her tothe White House. Some of you will later on. And I am pleading with you,with everything I have within me, it is something we have to do. She hasbeen bullied and annihilated in the press long enough. I know, without adoubt, from the depths of my heart, that she is the ONLY CANDIDATE thatreally, truly wants to make a difference in our country. She is also thestrongest, one. Look at what everyone has done to her, and she still fightshard for all of us, especially, those like Kimber, who do not have a voice.If she can stand up to Congress, her own peers, she can stand up to othercountries. She has earned this privilege. Everyone forgets all the good shehas done for our country all these years. Her record far surpasses that ofObama's or McCain's when it comes to defending the middle and lowerclass...the poor, the elderly, the handicapped. She believes anyone who goesto school to be a teacher, firefighter and police officer (my daughter, myson, my sister) should not have to pay for their tuition. She believes weshould all have as good an insurance policy that Congress gets (Kimber wouldnever have been refused care under Hillary.) She places her values on whatis important.
I am asking all of you, please, vote from your heart. She changed Jeannie'smind. She thinks so much of her now, she's voting for her. I think it'sprobably safe to say, none of you has never met anyone of these candidatespersonally. I have. None of you has been DIRECTLY affected by the ACTIONS ofany one of these candidates. I have. Please, look deep in your heart. Ifanything will stand out and make you vote for Hillary on Tuesday, orwhenever you have the chance...please remember one very importantmessage...without her, Kimber would never of had the chance to live a normallife. Hillary made that happen.
Please THANK HER, with your vote, next time you get the chance..

What do we know about Obama's Church?
From Brenda:
I am very upset and concerned in the way this Democratic race is going. I wonder if the Republicans are switching over the general election. Then they will plan to go back and vote as Republican in the general election. I personally thought President Clinton was our best President and look forward to having Hillary as our NEXT President. PLEASE look at this email I received which is very disturbing about OBAMA.
I received this email and thought this was important for everyone to see. After all would you want to help put this man in office as he might be an cell for the terrorist trying to get in office to make major destruction for the USA in the future road ahead. The email I received is below along with a web site to check out all the information.
Obama mentioned his church during his appearance with Oprah. It's the Trinity Church of Christ. I found this interesting.
Obama's church:
Please read and go to this church's website and read what is written there. It is very alarming.
Barack Obama is a member of this church and is running for President of the U.S. If you look at the first page of their website, you will learn that this congregation has a non-negotiable commitment to Africa. No where is AMERICA even mentioned. Notice too, what color you will need to be if you should want to join Obama's church... B-L-A-C-K!!! Doesn't look like his choice of religion has improved much over his (former?) Muslim upbringing.
Are you aware that Obama's middle name is Mohammed? Strip away his nice looks, the big smile and smooth talk and what do you get? Certainly a racist, as plainly defined by the stated positi on of his church! And possibly a covert worshiper of the Muslim faith, even today. This guy desires to rule over America while his loyalty is totally vested in a Black Africa!
I cannot believe this has not been all over the TV and newspapers. This is why it is so important to pass this message along to all of our family & friends. To think that Obama has even the slightest chance in the run for the presid ency, is really scary.

This is the web page for the church Barack Obama belongs to:
www.tucc.org/about.htm
Please fight back to get Hillary our next President. I have ordered one of her t-shirts and plan to wear it everywhere as soon as it arrives. I am just one person and not an organization, but I will do whatever I can to help her get elected.
Seems like when she tries to show the difference in her record and his they pile on her. This is not Negative but people have to know who they are electing and how they stand. We have GOT to do something to STOP this man and get HILLARY in the election. Please keep me informed about this situation.
I do not support Mike Huckabee either as I live in Arkansas and if the people in the media, Iowa, NH, & others that are voting for him really knew about the things he has done here in Arkansas they would not support him either. This is going to be a bad election if we don't get Hillary in the
general election.
Obama Having Trouble Voting
I think Hillary has done a better job as a legislator than Obama and
than she's being given credit for and her campaign needs help. This is
an important election and I'm saddened that someone that has chosen to
abstain from voting is doing as well as Barack is, while someone like
Hillary who has made hard decisions and actually voted, seems to be
getting little positive media attention.
I almost got caught up in all the hoopla and media frenzy over Barack. I
went and saw Teddy Kennedy in Oakland and also Michelle Obama in San
Jose. I was having a hard time deciding who to vote for. So, on the eve
of the election here in California, I compared their voting records on
votesmart.org. Many times Hillary made a hard decision and voted;
whereas Barack abstained.
I know Barack spoke against Iraq at the beginning but he wasn't eligible
to vote and when he did have an opportunity to vote on issues regarding
Iraq, he either voted the same as Hillary or abstained when she voted.
For instance,
4/18/05 Future Funding for Iraq - Barack No Vote (abstain);
9/20/07 Expressing Support For Petreus - Barack No Vote (abstain); Hillary
No;
9/26/07 Federalism in Iraq - Barack No Vote (abstain);
9/26/07 Iran and Islamic Revolution - Barack No Vote (abstain);
7/17/07 Guantanamo Detainees - Barack No Vote (abstain);
6/11/07 Atty General No Confidence - Barack No Vote (abstain); Hillary Yes.
On other issues such as immigration, Barack again abstained.
10/3/07 Border Fence & Customs Appropriations - Barack No Vote (abstain);
Hillary Yes
7/26/07 Dept of Homeland Security Appropriations - Barack No Vote (abstain);
Hillary Yes
7/26/07 Border Fence & Customs Appropriations - Barack No Vote (abstain);
Hillary Yes.
How many times has Obama abstained when Hillary has voted?
Obama seems to be getting a "free pass" from the media and the voters. I
think it's important how legislators vote, not just what they say in a
speech.
