Barrack Obama

Barrack Obama has announced that he is not going to be taking the public funding for his Presidential campaign. This after earlier and repeatedly saying he was going to do so. I am not naive enough to believe politicians don't lie all of the time, but I do find it disconcerting that a politician espousing change is reverting to one of the things which he so vocally accuse of our current President: LYING.


Also, it belies another character trait of Senator Oboma: POLITICAL EXPEDIENCY. He hid his Pastor of over 20 years, whom he had said was a father figure and like an uncle, when he announced his presidency. Then later when some of Reverend Wright's more inflammatory sermons were shown to the public Sen. Obama conveniently could not recall them. Then adding insult to injury after the good Senator defended his Pastor, he shortly there after thru his minister away after the minister did not deny the sermons but stuck to them. But wait there's more after his church of 20 years continued to have inflammatory sermons given, which by the way were all positive to the Sen. on a personal note but not politically correct he leaves said church.


And wait there's more: "You go into these small towns in Pennsylvania and, like a lot of small towns in the Midwest, the jobs have been gone now for 25 years and nothings replaced them…And they fell through the Clinton administration, and the Bush administration, and each successive administration has said that somehow these communities are gonna regenerate and they have not. And it's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations." Barack Obama Speech in San Francisco April 6th.


Sen. Obama is a very eloquent speaker yet his actions contradict many of the things which he espouses from the pulpit. He speaks of CHANGE yet he himself is participating in many of the practices in Washington of which he so vehemently decries. He claims to be for the average American, yet he seems to have no idea of what the average American goes thru. I am afraid that America may have an academic President, who doesn't have any clue of how the real world functions.
