The New Obama Cabinet!

Who are these people? You don’t know? Let me try to explain.

Franklin Raines is the CEO who, along with Jim Johnson, made tens of millions from Fannie Mae, and then was used by the Obama campaign (Johnson to pick the Vice Presidential Candidate). Fannie Mae/Freddie Mac, as you know, was given totally free rein to give massive amounts of bad loans. They, in turn, infected the entire sub-prime market, which in turn has helped tank the whole financial system. McCain and others tried to stop them. Obama, Frank and Dodd supported their dangerous schemes. Fannie Mae gave massive contributions to Obama, number two amount of money all time, next to Senator Dodd (head of the relevant committee), although Obama had only been a Senator for two years.

Ayres, besides being an unrepentant bombing killer, is actually very influential in the ultra liberal education elites. He believes capitalism should be destroyed, just like ACORN, the Annenberg grant in Chicago, and the Woods Foundation, on all of which he worked with Obama. Ayres gave Obama $50 million as his Annenberg chairman to fund their far-left education programs. How could Obama ‘forget’ they worked together? Why did he lie about how he launched his campaign in Ayres’ home, saying the previous Rep. had arranged it, when she hadn’t?

Tony Rezko is a shady far-left money man who has worked closely with Mayor Daley, the Governor of Illinois and Obama moving HUGE amounts of money, even to terrorist sympathizers. He is under indictment and is about to sing for a deal, although it’s not clear who he’s going to sing about. He ‘helped’ Obama with his real estate, as well.

I think you all know Wright, but the media doesn’t point out he’s a Marxist. No after life, Jesus is a black revolutionary, ‘unconventional’ morality.

And Marx? No one can doubt that moldy fellow played a large part in Obama’s young political formation. If you look closely at the ideas and even the language used by Obama, you can see the effect is not negligible. You probably haven’t heard any of this because most of the media is in the tank, a few because they do know his past and want to hide it, many because they love the idea of our electing the first black President. Hey, I love the idea, too. I just don’t like the idea of putting a shady Chicago politician in charge with Pelosi, Chris Dodd, Barney Frank, and a dominant liberal Congress. If you are pro-life, especially, the idea should chill your soul. He voted against bans on born-alive and partial-birth abortions. Even ‘pro-choice’ people of conscience should be given pause at how radical that is.

The economic ramifications are also horrific. The ‘middle-class tax cuts’ he always talks about neglects to mention the ending of the Bush tax cuts = net loss for us. The 95% figure neglects to say only 60% PAY taxes. Today he told a plumber he wants to “spread the wealth around”. Economic re-distributionism. Socialism. Wherever Communism or socialism has been tried, it’s been a disaster.

At the very least, these consistently far-left associations show HORRIBLE judgment, if nothing else.

There have been MASSIVE amounts of false registrations in 13 battleground states across the country on OBAMA’s behalf. They also specialize in intimidation of banks into giving bad loans. The Obama campaign tried to sneak $800,000 to Acorn through third parties. We should remember Marxism sanctions lying and skullduggery such as this. “The ends justify the means.” Right at this moment, hearings in Ohio are trying to make sense of it all there.

Americans think they’re getting a great ‘treat’ with Obama. If we actually look at what we are being handed? Maybe it’s time to take stock – or not!

The Obama Tax Plan = Redistribution Of Wealth

Obama wins and we’re all gonna get hosed….except for those already on the welfare nipple of course:

One man in particular questioned Obama’s tax plan, telling him that he is about to buy a company that makes more than $250,000 a year.

“Your new tax plan is going to tax me more, isn’t it?” the man asked.

Obama responded by telling the voter that his business would get a 50% tax credit for health care, but that his taxes will go up from 36% to 39%.

“I want to give all these folks who are bus drivers, teachers, auto workers who make less, I want to give them a tax cut,” Obama explained.

The man wasn’t convinced, telling Obama that he has been a plumber for 15 years and doesn’t believe that he should be taxed more.

After explaining that the tax rate would be the same as under Bill Clinton and that 95% of Americans make less than $250,000, Obama made one last pitch to the voter.

“I’m gonna cut taxes a little bit more for the folks who are most in need and for the 5% of the folks who are doing very well – even though they’ve been working hard and I appreciate that – I just want to make sure they’re paying a little bit more in order to pay for those other tax cuts,” Obama said.

“It’s not that I want to punish your success – I just want to make sure that everybody who is behind you – that they’ve got a chance at success too.”

Sounds like the very definition of Socialism.

Democrat Campaign of Hate Continues

After Saturday’s statement from Civil Rights Leader and Obama supporter Congressman John Lewis (DEMOCRAT-GA) that McCain and Palin were “playing with fire” and creating “the climate and the conditions that encouraged vicious attacks against innocent Americans who were simply trying to exercise their constitutional rights” I knew it would be just a matter of time before angry Democrats went beyond words and committed deeds right out of the liberal fascist playbook.

Two recent examples came my way:

• Vandal’s destroyed signs and defaced the York County, SC GOP headquarters writing “Republican means slavery” on the door and also defacing posters. The County GOP Chairman, who is black, seemed unfazed but noted that this “show[s] the election is much closer than folks would have you believe.”
• Two men were arrested Saturday in Portland, Oregon after throwing a molotov cocktail at a McCain sign in Portland and starting a fire.

Things aren’t as bad, YET, as they were in 2004 when GOP headquarters had shots fired into them, union thugs invaded GOP offices and swastikas were spray painted on campaign signs, but It’s still early.

Now, I don’t blame Congressman Lewis’s statement on these recent activities, both of which took place before Lewis made his incendiary statement. But Lewis’s statement was just the latest in an overt campaign of racial politics being waged by Barack Obama and his supporters.

While Obama has been criticizing McCain and Palin for their language, it’s impossible to ignore the cumulative effect of this:

• In June, Obama plays the race card: “They’re going to try to make you afraid of me. He’s young and inexperienced and he’s got a funny name. And did I mention he’s black?”
• In August, DNC Chair Howard Dean plays his card: “If you look at folks of color, even women, they’re more successful in the Democratic party than they are in the white, uh, excuse me, in the [laughs] Republican party.”
• On the September 12th edition of “The View” Whoopi Goldberg asks McCain: Do I Have To Be Worried About Becoming a Slave Again?” if McCain appoints originalist justices to the Supreme Court.
• On September 17th Obama tells his supporters to “argue and get in their face” of people who do not support him.
• The same week Obama put out a Spanish language ad misquoting Rush Limbaugh as suggesting “Mexicans are stupid” and should “shut your mouth or get out.”
• On September 24, impeached corrupt judge and Democrat Congressman Alcee Hastings said: “Anybody toting guns and stripping moose don’t care too much about what they do with Jews and blacks. “
• On October 9, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid implied that any connection between Obama and failed Fannie Mae CEO Franklin Raines was racist because “The only connection that people could bring up about Raines and Barack Obama is they both are African-American, other than that there is nothing.”
• And let’s not forget all the examples from “news” media figures who opine that racism is the only reason Obama could lose.

And Fidel Castro Too!

Racism as an excuse for a potential Obama defeat is also a view shared by another observer sympathetic to Obama’s unspoken radical views. The ailing Fidel Castro said “profound racism” will stop millions from voting for Barack Obama.

It’s clear that the racebaiters have been very, VERY busy. Their goal is to shut down any criticism of Barack Obama through these phony accusations of racism. The real racists here are the Democrats who promote these identity politics and thereby inspire their supporters to take steps which fly in the face of John Lewis’s concern for “innocent Americans who were simply trying to exercise their constitutional rights.”

Thanks Tratfor for all the research on this subject.
