Obama - Quickie biographical notes –
Obama in Hawaii 1971-1979 After graduation from the private Punahou School, Hawaii, he entered Occidental College in Los Angeles. At Occidental Obama learned of the opportunity to transfer to Columbia and applied. "He was so bright and wanted a wider urban experience," recalled Anne Howells, a former English professor at Occidental who taught Obama in one of her classes and wrote him a recommendation for Columbia He transferred to Columbia University, after two years schooling at Occidental College. He graduated from Columbia College in 1983 with a degree in political science and a close relationship with Edward Said Columbia’s charismatic professor, the immensely popular and influential leader and author of the virulently anti-Israel / anti-American mantra of the current Middle East studies departments (seemingly worldwide), Orientalism, which continued until Said’s death in 2003.
In his 2004 election campaign for US Senator Obama ridiculed the charge of being a "hard-core academic Marxist," which was made by his opponent, Republican Alan Keyes. Was Keyes’ wrong? As you read more about Obama, you encounter Frank Marshall Davis, Edward Said, Rev Wright and his promotion of Black Liberation Theology, Rashid Khalidi and Saul Alinsky –

Following is a summary of what we do know, largely ignoring Wright related references.
Obama’s Mother
1971-79
Obama lived in Hawaii. in Obama's own book, Dreams From My Father. He writes about "a poet named Frank," who visited his family in Hawaii, read poetry, and was full of "hard-earned knowledge" and advice. He writes about "Frank and his old Black Power dashiki self" giving him advice before he left for Occidental College in 1979 at the age of 18. Frank Marshall Davis a known communist from Chicago belonged to a party subservient to the Soviet Union. In fact, the 1951 report of the Commission on Subversive Activities to the Legislature of the Territory of Hawaii identified him as a CPUSA member. What's more, anti-communist congressional committees, including the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC), accused Davis of involvement in several communist-front organizations. Gerald Horne, contributing editor of the Communist Party journal Political Affairs, a history professor at the University of Houston, noted that Davis, who moved to Honolulu from Kansas in 1948 "at the suggestion of his good friend Paul Robeson," [he later] came into contact with Barack Obama and his family and became the young man's mentor, influencing Obama's sense of identity and career moves. As Horne describes it, Davis "befriended" a "Euro-American family" that had "migrated to Honolulu from Kansas and a young woman from this family eventually had a child with a young student from Kenya East Africa who goes by the name of Barack Obama.
It was in Chicago that Obama became a "community organizer" and came into contact with more far-left political forces, including the Democratic Socialists of America, which maintains close ties to European socialist groups and parties through the Socialist International (SI), and two former members of the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS), William Ayers and Carl Davidson. http://www.perspectives.com/forums/view_topic.php?id=170140&forum_id=91
1990
Obama wrote a chapter for the 1990 book After Alinsky: Community Organizing in Illinois, Saul Alinsky, the radical University of Chicago-trained social scientist, author of Rules for Radicals.
2000
Obama attends a fundraiser at the home of Rashid Khalidi, Middle East professor at the University of Chicago. Dr. Khalidi had been a director of the official PLO press agency WAFA in Beirut from 1976 to 1982. During this time the U.S. State Department considered the PLO a terrorist organization and the PLO was involved with terrorist attacks.
2001
Barack Obama voted against Illinois’ Born Alive Infant Protection Act when state senator. Having heard evidence of how babies already born have died unprotected. Obama spoke against the Born Alive Infant Protection Act on the IL Senate floor on March 30, 2001, Obama, was the SOLE verbal opponent to the bill.(That means NO other Republican or Democrat except OBAMA). This is the same candidate who in a speech on March 29, 2008, drawing gasps from the crowd at a campaign stop in Pennsylvania, said he didn’t want his daughters to be a “punished with an unwanted baby”.

2002 – It is a pity that we’ve heard nothing to date about Obama’s support of the nuclear industry.
Obama told crowd in Iowa in December of 2003 that “the only nuclear legislation [2002] that I’ve passed….” Mr. Obama eventually rewrote his bill to reflect changes sought by Exelon, whose subsidiary is Commonwealth Edison, the country’s largest Nuclear plant operator and one of Mr. Obama’s largest sources of campaign money ($227,000), and nuclear regulators. it weakening with each successive draft,” said Joe Cosgrove, a park district director in Will County, Ill., where low-level radioactive runoff had turned up in groundwater The new bill removed language mandating prompt reporting and simply offered guidance to regulators, whom it charged with addressing the issue of unreported leaks, making mandatory reporting voluntary instead. It states that “existing reporting requirements for abnormal spills and leaks are at a level that is risk-informed and appropriate.” [Frank M. Clark, executive vice president to Exelon, and John W. Rogers Jr., a director there, are among his largest fund-raisers, according to the Times. John W. Rowe, also an Obama contributor, is chairman of the Nuclear Energy Institute, which is -- get ready for it -- the nuclear power industry's lobbying group.]

REV. JEREMIAH WRIGHT / Trinity Pastor's Page 23 feb 03
As pertains to Israel Wright routinely compares Israel to apartheid South Africa and considers blacks "The Chosen People". Wright sees his role not just as a religious counselor but also as an educator and political activist.

2004
The Vetting of Barack Hussein Obama, relative newby on the national political scene, was clearly too brief. Though in fact there were certainly flags raised by his affiliations, they had not received sufficient attention. Perhaps his first public statement on the National scene should have been enough. - Barack Obama's Keynote Address at Democratic Convention, “Audacity of Hope". delivered 27 July 2004, Fleet Center, Boston
“If there's an Arab American family being rounded up without benefit of an attorney or due process, that threatens my civil liberties. It's that fundamental belief - I am my brother's keeper, I am my sister's keeper - that makes this country work. It's what allows us to pursue our individual dreams, yet still come together as a single American family. 'E pluribus unum.' Out of many, one.”
There are somewhere between 1.5 and 5 million Arab American’s in the United States, certainly not a significant percentage of the nation’s population, not enough to account for singling the Arab American out specially, unless you personally felt a special affiliation.
2005
A company related to Iraqi born, British billionaire, Nadhmi Auchi, who has a conviction for corruption in France, registered the loan to Mr Obama's close friend Antoin "Tony" Rezko on May 23 2005. Mr Auchi says the loan, through the Panamanian company Fintrade Services SA, was for $3.5 million, possibly used to purchase the Obama Chicago mansion. Auchi graduated in Economics and Political Science from the Mustansiriyah University, Baghdad in 1967. In recognition of Nadhmi Auchi's extensive business, charitable and humanitarian activities across the world, numerous awards and honorary positions have been bestowed on him, including a number of Royal and State decorations. In 1996, the President of the Tunisian Republic, His Excellency Zine El Abidine Ben Ali, decorated him as an Officer of the Order of the Republic. In 2002, he was also awarded the Grand Cordon of the order of Independence by His Majesty King Abdullah II of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan. Nadhmi Auchi was honoured in 2003 by the Sacred Military Constantinian Order of Saint George with the honour and dignity of Knight Grand Cross of the Royal Order of Francis I in recognition of his major contributions to inter-church and inter-faith dialogue. Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II granted him his Coat of Arms in 2004. In the same year the President of the Republic of Lebanon, His Excellency General Emile Lahoud, awarded Mr Auchi with the First Grade of the Lebanese Order of Merit having already appointed him as a Commander of the National Order of the Cedar in 2000. The Vatican awarded him the Ponitifical Order of St. Sylvester Pope and Martyr by John Paul II in 2004.
To figure out what really was going on with the purchase of Obama's stately Chicago home, however, you'd have to study Chicago's zoning regulations and the role of the Chicago Landmarks Commission, on which Michelle Obama sat. And who has time for that kind of tedium? http://www.vdare.com/sailer/080316_obama.htm
2006
The Obamas donated $22,500 to Trinity, helping propagate this racist paranoia. Here's a shockingly Marxist excerpt from Trinity's website explaining their "Black Value System":
“Disavowal of the Pursuit of ‘Middleclassness.’ Classic methodology on control of captives teaches that captors must be able to identify the ‘talented tenth’ of those subjugated, especially those who show promise of providing the kind of leadership that might threaten the captor’s control.
Those so identified are separated from the rest of the people by:
1. Killing them off directly, and/or fostering a social system that encourages them to kill off one another.
2. Placing them in concentration camps, and/or structuring an economic environment that induces captive youth to fill the jails and prisons.
3. Seducing them into a socioeconomic class system which, while training them to earn more dollars, hypnotizes them into believing they are better than others and teaches them to think in terms of ‘we’ and ‘they’ instead of ‘us.’
4. So, while it is permissible to chase ‘middleclassness’ with all our might, we must avoid the third separation method – the psychological entrapment of Black ‘middleclassness.’ If we avoid this snare, we will also diminish our ‘voluntary’ contributions to methods A and B. And more importantly, Black people no longer will be deprived of their birthright: the leadership, resourcefulness and example of their own talented persons.”
2007
Other powerful Obama Chicago contacts are Stephen Walt, University of Chicago professor [1989 – 1999] co-author with John Mearsheimer University of Chicago professor [1982 - present] The Israel Lobby and U.S. Foreign Policy 2007. It is generally deemed and anti-Israel / anti-Jewish / anti-American diatribe which Abe Foxman characterized as “the deadliest lies”, writing in response, “The Deadliest Lies: The Jewish Lobby and the Myth of Jewish Control.”
2008
REZKO, PRESENTLY ON TRIAL IN CHICAGO – ANOTHER ‘REV. WRIGHT’ INCIDENT, A MISPLACED SOURCE OF OBAMA’S TRUST. In a 90-minute interview with ChicagoTribune reporters and editors, Obama disclosed that Rezko had raised more for Obama's earlier political campaigns than previously known, gathering as much as $250,000 for the first three (State) offices he sought." [Obama: I trusted Rezko, By David Jackson, March 15, 2008]. Obama told the Tribune that he never dreamt that Rezko would ever ask him for a favor in return for all the favors he had done for him:

OBAMA FIRST COUSIN RAILA ODINGA, CO-PRESIDENT ELECT OF KENYA. Barack Hussein Obama, as a member of the Diaspora played a key role in support of rise of Raila Odinga the President-elect of Kenya. Point 7 of the Ten Point Vision of Trinity United Church of Christ is committed to is: “A congregation committed to the HISTORICAL EDUCATION OF AFRICAN PEOPLE IN DIASPORA.” Obama has had near daily conversations with the U.S. ambassador in Nairobi, Michael Ranneberger, or with Kenya’s opposition leader, Raila Odinga. Obama was trying to reach Kibaki as well. Reference: The Demons That Still Haunt Africa, By Alex Perry/Eldoret, Laura Blue/London Jan. 10, 2008, Time Magazine. Mr. Obama’s attitude toward Islam, which has so far received much less scrutiny than might be expected in a post-September 11 presidential election. http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/africa/7176683.stm

August 29, 2007, Raila Odinga and Shiekh Abdullah Abdi, chairman of the National Muslim Leaders Forum of Kenya signed a pact including these points:
It pledges the support of Kenyan Moslems for Raila’s election. In return, as President of Kenya, Raila agrees to 14 actions, listed a) through n)
Within 6 months re-write the Constitution of Kenya to recognize Shariah as the only true law sanctioned by the Holy Quran for Muslim declared regions.
Within one year facilitate the establishment of a Shariah court in every Kenyan divisional headquarters. [Note: everywhere in Kenya, not just in “Muslim declared regions.”]
Popularize Islam, the only true religion… by ordering every primary school in Kenya in the regions to conduct daily Madrassa classes.
OBAMA’S ADVISORS
George Soros never has a good word to say about Israel,
Zbigniew Bzrezinski shaped President Carter’s foreign policy against the Shah of Iran and Israel.
Susan Rice was John Kerry's chief foreign policy adviser when he ran for President. One of the major steps Kerry suggested for dealing with the Middle East was to appoint James Baker and Jimmy Carter as negotiators.
Robert Malley was part of the American negotiating team that dealt with Yasser Arafat at Camp David. He has presented a revisionist history of those negotiations since then: presenting a view that blames Israel for the failures of the negotiations. He is the ‘pen’ representing the Palestinian point of view co-writing a series of anti-Israel articles with Hussein Agha-a former Arafat adviser. Palestinian advocate. These have appeared in the New York Review of Books a publication that has served as a platform for a slew of anti-Israel advocates from Tony Judt to the aforementioned George Soros to the authors of the Israeli Lobby book Stephen Walt and John Mearsheimer.
Ivo Daalder has advocated talks with Hezbollah, Syria, Iran. Daalder stated that Israel's bombing of Qana (an attack targeting Hezbollah missile placements that resulted in civilian death) in the war against Hezbollah imperiled Israel's claim to the moral high ground.
Scott Lasensky has called for Islamists and Hamas to be brought into the "peace process," before this Mideast moment slips away. He has called residents of Israeli settlements "obstructionists" He has been given the stamp of approval by the Washington Report on Middle East Affairs, a notoriously harsh anti-Israel group and has been hosted by the activist group Brit Tzedek v'Shalom and will be hosted by Americans for Peace Now , both of which groups have been highly critical of Israel over the years. He has called for engagement with Iran.
Obama versus John Bolton Obama actively opposed the nomination of John Bolton as our Ambassador to the United Nations. Bolton's track record in support of Israel is impressive.
Thanks Janet Lehr
