Middle America's Worldview

Barack Hussein Obama II was born 4-August-1961, Honolulu, Hawaii.

Father: Barack Hussein Obama, Sr.,
Mother: Ann Dunham,

Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., is reported to be Muslim in religion, now turned Atheist.
Ann Dunham, is reported to be Atheist in religion.

At 2 years of age (1963), father and mother separated and divorced.

Mother remarried to Lolo Soetoro.

Lolo Soetoro is reported to be a radical Muslim in religion.

They relocated to Indonesia in 1967.

Barack Hussein Obama II attended local muslim schools in Jakarta. It is reported he was enrolled in Wahabi School at the age of 6. However, according to CNN, it as a public school with all types of religions. Wahabism is the radical Muslim ideology used in the Jihad against the western world.
He attended Jakarata schools from 6 to 10 years of age.

At the age of 10, returned to Honolulu, Hawaii. He attended Punahou School from the fifth grade in 1971 until his graduation from high school in 1979.



Practiced drugs as a youth

As an adult Obama admitted that during high school he used marijuana, cocaine, and alcohol, which he described at the 2008 Civil Forum on the Presidency as his greatest moral failure.

His win in the Senate was due to no opponent.

Obama's expected opponent in the general election, Republican primary winner Jack Ryan, withdrew from the race in June 2004. This was accomplished due to a newspaper that favored Obama taking the unusual step of suing to force the confidential divorce information of Jack Ryan to become public, and a California judge opened the records at a pivotal time in the campaign.

Obama's views on gun control is focused on an opinion article in the Wall Street Journal:
As a state senate candidate in 1996, Mr. Obama endorsed a complete ban on all handguns in a questionnaire. The Obama campaign has claimed he "never saw or approved the questionnaire," and that an aide filled it out incorrectly. But a few weeks ago, Politico.com found an amended version of the questionnaire. It included material added in Mr. Obama's handwriting.

As Senator

Obama was sworn in as a senator on January 4, 2005. It is reported he chose to be sworn in on the Koran rather than the Bible. However, this is stated to be false.


A March 16th, 2005 AP article puts Senator Obama on record to ban oil drilling in the Alaska frontier known as ANWR [61]

His 2007 voting record in the U.S. Senate makes him as its most liberal member. Among fellow Senate Democrats, he was further left than liberals like Ted Kennedy, John Kerry, Dianne Feinstein, Charles Schumer, Russ Feingold, Carl Levin, Joseph Biden and Harry Reid.[62] He has grown steadily more liberal since arriving at the Senate: the same analysis assessed him as 10th most liberal in 2006[63] and 16th most liberal in 2005.[64]


Senator Obama is the chairman of an important subcommittee that has oversight of our efforts in Afghanistan. He has not held a single hearing on Afghanistan even though American forces are risking their lives in a theatre of war.

As senator, Obama has requested nearly $936 million in earmarks which averages to $500,000. per day over four years, [69] for which the Council for Citizens Against Government Waste has given him a rating of 10% in 2007 (18% lifetime).[70] A score of 100% represents voting against all pork, and 0% represents voting for all pork. Democrats averaged 5% in 2007, whereas Republicans averaged 60%. [71]

Bills co-sponsored
Obama's principal legislation was S. 2433, which was an attempt to force the U.S. to increase its foreign aid by hundreds of billions of dollars under the guise of reducing global poverty, which was subsequently blocked by conservatives.[72]
Obama did support and co-sponsor a bill championed by Tom Coburn and known as the Coburn-Obama Government Transparency Act of 2006, which was signed into law by President George W. Bush on Sept. 9, 2006. This law created a website that will list the federal government's grants and contracts.[73]
Between Jan 13, 2007 and March 13, 2008, Sen. Obama has sponsored 120 mostly liberal resolutions and bills in the Senate.[74] His supporters cite the following less liberal examples, but this list is not representative:[Citation Needed]
• S.117 : A bill to amend titles 10 and 38, United States Code, to improve benefits and services for members of the Armed Forces, veterans of the Global War on Terrorism, and other veterans, to require reports on the effects of the Global War on Terrorism, and for other purposes.
• S.133 : A bill to promote the national security and stability of the economy of the United States by reducing the dependence of the United States on oil through the use of alternative fuels and new technology, and for other purposes.
• S.453 : A bill to prohibit deceptive practices in Federal elections.
• S.713 : A bill to ensure dignity in care for members of the Armed Forces recovering from injuries.


Catholic Archbishop Charles Chaput of Denver, where Obama received his Democratic Party nomination, recently criticized Obama as the "most committed" abortion-supporting candidate "since the Roe v. Wade abortion decision in 1973.[10]

The National Abortion Rights Action League NARAL has given Barack a 100% rating for his efforts in Congress 2005, 2006 and 2007 [99].

Obama has steadfastly advocated support for partial birth abortion as an Illinois legislator. Barack's wife, Michelle Obama, wrote a fundraising letter[102] in support of partial birth abortion and against the proposed ban. Barack voted against the Born Alive Infant Protection Act to give a child who survived an abortion procedure life support healthcare. Obama wanted the life terminated even if he or she survived outside the mother's womb.[103] With Obama no longer in the state Senate, the Born Alive legislation passed in 2005.

In example, as a state senator in Illinois, he voted "present" rather than "aye" or "nay" nearly an astounding 130 times.


Obama said "the first thing I'd do as president is sign the Freedom of Choice Act."[11] That bill "would invalidate virtually all state and federal limitations on abortion, and would make partial-birth abortion legal again."[12]

• Obama stated that the autobiography of Malcolm X, a Nation of Islam leader who became a Muslim, inspired him in his youth.[19]

• • Obama raised nearly $1 million and campaigned for a Kenyan presidential candidate who had a written agreement with Muslim leaders promising to convert Kenya to an Islamic state that bans Christianity.[20]
• Obama's claims of conversion to Christianity arose after he became politically ambitious, lacking a date of conversion or baptism.[21]
• On the campaign trail Obama has been reading "The Post-American World" by Fareed Zakaria,[22] which is written from a Muslim point-of-view.[23]
• Contrary to Christianity, the Islamic doctrine of taqiyya encourages adherents to deny they are Muslim if it advances the cause of Islam.
• Obama uses the Muslim Pakistani pronunciation for "Pakistan" rather than the common American one.[24]
• Many of Obama's statements about religion conflict with Christianity, leading one group to demonstrate with a 7-part video series, "Why Barack Obama is Not a Christian."[25]
• Obama was thoroughly exposed to Christianity as an adult in Chicago prior to attending law school, yet no one at law school saw him display any interest in converting. Obama unabashedly explained how he became "churched" in a 2007 speech: "It's around that time [while working as an organizer for the Developing Communities Project (DCP) of the Calumet Community Religious Conference (CCRC) in Chicago] that some pastors I was working with came around and asked if I was a member of a church. 'If you're organizing churches,' they said, 'it might be helpful if you went to a church once in a while.' And I thought, 'I guess that makes sense.'"[26]


There is apparently no evidence of any Christian activities or local church participation by Obama while he was in Massachusetts from 1988 to 1991. Finally, Obama abruptly left his church in Chicago in 2008 when it became politically controversial, without first finding another church to join.


Obama claimed to have visited 57 states while campaigning for president of the United States, which of course has only 50 states.[28] He could never explain where the false number of 57 came from, but it has been observed that there are 57 Islamic states and Obama was educated at an Islamic grade school while he lived in an Islamic country.[29]


Among his backers is homosexual pornography baron Terrence Bean.



On the Campaign for Presidency

He has the same ideology as Karl Marx.

Obama has espoused the socialist idea of "spreading the wealth" in other words raising the tax rates on business and the wealthy to a burdensome level in order to redistribute their income to low income individuals, many of whom don't currently pay taxes. The slogan "From each according to their ability to each according to their need" is an idea originally proposed by Karl Marx.

Barack Obama continued to collect money for a 2010 Senate re-election campaign as late as June 2008, and has filed reports recently indicating that money is still pouring into this fund. This is especially notable because it is an efficient way of sidetracking donations from his Presidential race. The website is now defunct.

By early April 2007, his campaign generated over $25 million from over 100,000 contributors. $23.5 million of that money will be available for the Democratic Primary.[77] After the first Democratic presidential debate in Columbia, South Carolina, Obama's image as an "articulate" spokesman came into question after his failure to state right away that he would retaliate in case of further terrorist strikes against the United States.[78][79]

Obama keeps donations secret by exploiting a loophole that allows campaigns to refuse to divulge donations under $200.00. This is useful to the candidate because many of his contributions are from dubious foreign or illegal sources. It is described as the "largest pool of unidentified money that has ever flooded into the U.S. election system, before or after the McCain-Feingold campaign finance reforms of 2002." [89]

Obama has no military or executive experience and little foreign policy experience.[108] Yet he is the favorite of the leftist attack site "MoveOn.org" for the Democratic nomination for President of the United States in the 2008 election,[109] campaigning to the left of Hillary Clinton.[110]




While campaigning, he has visited several foreign countries. In Russia and the former Soviet republics, he met with representatives of the International Republican Institute and National Democratic Institute to discuss democracy in the former Soviet republics. He also met with Russian military officials and visited several nuclear and biological weapons destruction sites in Russia, Ukraine, and Azerbaijan with Senate Foreign Relations Committee Chairman Richard Lugar (R-IN). On the same tour, he visited London, UK, and met with Tony Blair, sitting UK Prime Minister.[133]
Obama visited South Africa, Kenya, Ethiopia, Djibouti, and Chad; he discussed his tour of Robben Island prison, met with U.S. troops, and visited refugee camps of the people fleeing Darfur. He also addressed Africa's growing AIDS epidemic. [134]
During a ten-day-long tour of the Middle East, he talked with government leaders in Qatar, Kuwait, Iraq, Jordan, and Israel. [135]

Secrecy
Recall when it was a big deal to share the college grades in comparison with Gore and Bush?
The Democratic party feels it necessary to keep all questions about Obama at a safe distance. It is an unprecedented move to keep secrets about a Presidential candidate. The following questions remain sealed from the public. [88]
1. Certified Copy of original Birth certificate(see certificate controversy below)
2. Columbia College records
3. Columbia Thesis paper
4. Campaign donor analysis requested by 7 major watchdog groups
5. Harvard College records
6. Illinois State Senate records
7. Illinois State Senate schedule
8. Law practice client list and billing records/summary
9. Locations and names of all half-siblings and step-mothers
10. Medical records (only the one page summary released so far)
11. Occidental College records
12. Parent's Marriage Certificate
13. Record of baptism
14. Selective Service Registration
15. Trips schedules for trips outside of the United States before 2007
16. Scholarly articles
17. Access to his Grandmother
18. List of all campaign workers that are lobbyists



You can view all of the contributions to Obama here. However, remember, there is a loophole that allows campaigns to refuse to divulge donations under $200.00. There are no limits of 199.99 donations.


Personal thoughts I have on this.

Although raised as a muslim, in his own words, it sounds more like Panthesim for the religion of choice.

“In our household the Bible, the Koran, and the Bhagavad Gita sat on the shelf alongside books of Greek and Norse and African mythology. On Easter or Christmas Day my mother might drag me to church, just as she dragged me to the Buddhist temple, the chinese New Year celebration, the Shinto shrine, and ancient Hawaiian burial sites. But I was made to understand that such religious samplings required no sustained commitment on my part. Religion was an expression of human culture, she would explain, not its wellspring, just one of the many ways — and not necessarily the best way — that man attempted to control the unknowable and understand the deeper truths about our lives.

In sum, my mother viewed religion through the eyes of the anthropologist she would become; it was a phenomenon to be treated with a suitable respect, but with a suitable detachment as well.”

Knowing by the age of 8-9 you already have laid down your values and worldview, it does concern me, Obama was raised in a primary Muslim area during this time. It is factual less than 1% of Muslims change their religion. So to say your raised in one or absence of a religion and change, is unusual. However, it is possible.

I was always told "birds of feather, rest together". This meaning also is said as, you are like those you take company in. Recently, more and more central allies of Obama are coming into light. Those that are brought out show to be shady, at best. He of course distances himself from these known allies, but not till they are identified and become public.

Among the top 3 are Bill Ayers (who reportedly helped him in his books).

Kevin Jennings is the outgoing head of the Gay, Lesbian and Straight Education Network (GLSEN), a group known for its efforts to establish so-called "Gay-Straight Alliance" clubs in public schools across the country.
Linda Harvey, president of Mission America, says many parents would be frightened to know that one of Senator Obama's top homosexual fundraisers founded a group, namely GLSEN, which has recommended books that condone sex between men and teenage boys.

"GLSEN believes that there should be homosexual clubs in K-12 schools, that children can self-determine their own sexuality at the grade-school level, that evidently it's fine for children to read and be exposed to many, many child corruption elements of sexuality, including the possibility of having sex with an adult," Harvey explains.

Jennings' position in the Obama campaign, according to Harvey, either shows the senator does not have people vetted very well or actually supports teaching kids "the tactics of revolution."

Then there is also Rev. Jeremiah Wright. With Wrights radical views, it's no wonder Obama has distanced himself. Now its reported Wright has been caught having an affair.

I do find this man an interesting character, but I am also cautious of him.
