Obamas Inclusive Message

Those early anonymous emails about Obama's name are having an effect on people's opinion of Obama. Unfortunately, they were the first impressions people got of him before getting to know anything about him.

How about the fact that he is a carpetbagger brought into Illinois by the chicago Daley machine which is one of the crookesest political machines in the U.S.

After high school, Obama moved to Los Angeles, where he studied at Occidental College for two years.[21] He then transferred to Columbia University in New York City, where he majored in political science with a specialization in international relations.[22] Obama received his B.A. degree in 1983, then worked at Business International Corporation and NYPIRG before moving to Chicago to take a job as a community organizer.[23] As Director of the Developing Communities Project, he worked with low-income residents in Chicago's Roseland community and the Altgeld Gardens public housing development.[24] He entered Harvard Law School in 1988.[25] In 1990, The New York Times reported his election as the Harvard Law Review's "first black president in its 104-year history".[26] He completed his J.D. degree magna cum laude in 1991.[27] On returning to Chicago, Obama directed a voter registration drive.[27] As an associate attorney with Miner, Barnhill & Galland from 1993 to 1996, he represented community organizers, discrimination claims, and voting rights cases.[28] He was a lecturer of constitutional law at the University of Chicago Law School from 1993 until his election to the U.S. Senate in 2004.[29]

I'm curious as to how you arrive at this claim. The most recent slams of sleaze upon Obama have been Hillary's remarks concerning his association with Rezko, his 'present' votes, and his praise of Republicans, to name a few.

Do you have a link or other information showing it was emails about his name affecting opinion and not the stuff coming from the Clintons?

I have a question about Obama...and since this is a new thread ...maybe someone with knowledge can tell the answer....
Is it true ?? that since he was a male born to a muslim man ....that ...that makes him BORN MUSLIM
under Muslim Law ???? And if that is true ...and since he has converted to the church of christ ...doesn't that under Islamic Law ...make him ...like the worst kind of human ...and by doing so it is punishable by death ????
and then if he is under a death sentance based on Islamic law .. Just how does he deal with leaders in the MIDDLE EAST .?????

What you said is the general course for a muslim that gave up islam for Christianity. And you are thinking.
Take it a little further and ask yourself if Obama seems worried about that.
His christian church gave Louis Farrakhan an award for Empowe rment. He is the leader of the Nation of Islam. www.noi.com.
This just does not make sense to me.
Also, an American President should not call his Motherland Africa or any other country than USA. I don't think we're going to get some real answers so we just need to do the all we can to keep alert because the red flags are there if we don't ignore them.

WHY IS THIS CLOSET musilum GETTING SO MUCH AIRTIME. THERE IS NOTHING HE CAN SAY TO MAKE ME BELEIVE OTHER WISE.I TRUST NO ONE THAT HAS ANYTHING TO DO WITH OPRAH AND AL SHARPTON.!!!!! HECK THOSE TWO WILL BE IN LINE FOR A CABINET POSTION AT THE WHITE HOUSE. NOW THAT WILL MESSED UP!!!!!!!

HH8:27PMJan 24th 2008

Beckers:
Would you agree that Louis Farrakhan received an award for Empowerment from Obama's church of 20 years?
Louis Farrakhan is a muslim and the leader of Nation of islam.
Would you agree that Obama's church claims Africa as their Motherland?
Obama nor his followers are going to say what we don't want to hear. We just have to stay alert for red flags, because they are there.

HH8:45PMJan 24th 2008

After reading it twice, I find Barak Hussein Obama's response to the Hot Seat question rich in rhetorics and poetry but deficient in substance, clarity, affirmance, definitivenes and factuality. No wonder some say he evades / skirts issues, blame others, and equivocates.

Re his faith, if he claims he is a Christian now for 20 yrs, what was he for 26 yrs prior? If, per its website, the church he attends pledges allegiance to Afric, not USA, and supports Louis Farrakhan who wants anyone who refuses to convert to Islam shot, what does Obama say to this? No oratory, please!

When he was sworn into office, was the Muslim Koran used? If so, then Obama is telling the truth that he swore by the "bible" because the Koran is the "bible" of the Muslims.

If elected POTUS, God forbid, I wonder too how Barak Hussein Obama will relate to his "brothers" especially in the Middle East and Africa.

Isn't this scary, "troubling" if you will?

If this really islama obama answer this:
1.Why do you claim to be afro american when your daddy was only african?
2. why do you hide the fact that you support islam?
3. why do you belong to a racist church?
3. why should americans give to the illegal immagrants when these people have done nothing for the USA?
4. why can you not answer a question without blinking? shows that you are lying.
5. why do you not claim the other side of your family (the white side ) is it because you want to play the race card and acuse everyone else that they are the ones playing the race card?
6. and hell yes your running against hillary and bill.
7. why are you so interted in helping the black people when they have all they can get if they would get up off their lazy asses and go to work....oh yea the f*cking mexicans have taken their jobs who you want to give ammunity to these people!
8. since you are playing the race card why have you not called the NAACP on bill..you sure as hell whine and cry enough about the clintons.
9. as every good islam man you should tell your wife to shut up she gives speaches very poorly.

Why won't obama tell how he feels about all the illegal aliens that are ruining our country. Maybe its because a lot of them are illegal muslims that are here for terrorism.

How about the fact that he is a carpetbagger brought into Illinois by the chicago Daley machine which is one of the crookesest political machines in the U.S.

The idea of someone in the Obama/Hillary dispute using the term carpetbagger on Obama strikes me as just too ridiculous. Consider Hillary spending an ungodly amount of money to win NY, where she's clearly not from, and clearly doesn't plan to stay. Hello.

No Rabel was thinking of the Chicago political machine, one of the crookedest in the states, and the help that Obama got from to be elected senator. You don't get help from them without morgageing your career to the machine. As a southern illinoian I think I know more about the crooked politicians in Illinois than most of you. Most of the illinois politicians who are in or on their way to jail are from the Chicago part of the state. So why don't all you genuses do some checking on facts yourselves. I have been living them for 72 years in this state and unable to do anything about it because the southern part of the state has a minority of the population.

The term carpetbaggers was used to describe white Republicans in the South who had allegedly arrived with all of their worldly possessions stuffed into a carpetbag, ready to loot and plunder the defeated South. [1] Although the term is still an insult in common usage, in histories and reference works it is now used without derogatory intent. Since 1900 the term has also been used to describe outsiders attempting to gain political office or economic advantage, especially in areas (thematically or geographically) to which they previously had no connection.

Daley Machine Backs Obama

Excerpt:

Sen. Barack Obama's relationship with Chicago Mayor Richard M. Daley illustrates how he has carefully joined hands with Chicago's power wielders.

The Daley political machine in Chicago has thrown its support behind presidential candidate Barack Obama, forging an alliance that could make him the next president.

Although the machine supported Obama's rivals early in his political career, viewing him as an outsider, Obama's success on the national stage has changed all that.

"It's a simple political calculus," Jay Stewart, executive director of the Chicago-based watchdog group Better Government Association, tells NewsMax. "Here is a popular guy with a reasonable shot at winning, from the same party. It's good for Illinois if he wins. So the machine [and] the mayor [are] backing Obama."

Stewart adds that Obama has cultivated a "peaceful coexistence" with the Daley machine, without becoming one of its operatives.

So who controls Obama? And to whom might he be beholden?

Obama's charisma and savvy have given him more flexibility in dealing with the realities of getting elected, sources tell NewsMax.

His charm has elicited geysers of support from smitten voters. The conventional wisdom holds that Obama's political fortunes aren't dependent on ward bosses, meaning that the senator can distance himself from the political corruption for which the city is infamous.

"There is no back-room cabal that engineered the Obama candidacy," says Stewart. "He has been swept along by his own personal popularity, and clearly his campaign has been driven simply by his own personal appeal to many. The old rules don't apply to this guy."

... In my mind its guilt by association. ...

All I have to know is that the Daley machine backs him. In my mind its guilt by association.
