Obama: The Oak Grown from Acorn

"Last week, well before news broke today of an FBI voter-fraud investigation of the Association of Community Organizers for Reform Now (Acorn), Nevada authorities raided the group’s Las Vegas headquarters. The offices of Nevada’s secretary of state and attorney general, both Democrats, seized computers, voter-registration cards, and employee information after Acorn submitted numerous fraudulent names and addresses as part of its voter-registration drive. “Some of these [forms] were facially fraudulent; we basically had the starting lineup for the Dallas Cowboys,” Ross Miller, Nevada’s secretary of state, explained. “Tony Romo is not registered to vote in Nevada.”

"In the mid-nineties, Barack Obama ran Acorn’s Project Vote campaign in Illinois. He sued the state of Illinois on the group’s behalf in 1995 to implement the Motor Voter law. “After he joined the board of the Woods Fund,” Stealing Elections notes, “Obama saw to it that substantial grants were given to Acorn.” Senator Obama has championed Acorn’s legislative priorities in Congress. His presidential campaign even donated more than $800,000 to Acorn. Obama is the oak grown from Acorn, a group so proud of its association that it boasts “Obama Organizing Fellows” and runs a “Camp Obama” training event. While Acorn boasts of its Obama association, the candidate, of course, is more reticent. That’s because he well knows that many non-dead, non-animal voters would not find a close association with such a group a desirable quality in a potential president."

“Once a community organizer, then a foundation grant-maker, and now a lobbyist for direct government funding, Barack Obama has been with Acorn throughout his career,” Fund writes. “In return, Acorn is pledging to spend $35 million this year registering voters—both real and fictive. Should Obama become president, look for Acorn to have a vastly more ambitious legislative agenda, and for Obama to be responsive.” Acorn, in other words, has a lot riding on Tony Romo voting early, often, and everywhere."

OBAMA'S STRANGE BEDFELLOWS

You want to know why so many concerned citizens are so passionaltely supporting the McCain/Palin ticket, despite his "maverick streak, age, and temper"?  To say NOTHING for the kind of BILLS introduced by Barack Obama as US Senator (ZERO of which have any significance and ZERO of which even passed the Senate floor, since he was sworn in in 2005). If this video represents the kind of judgement and direction of leadership we can expect from Barack Obama as President,  we all have much to be concerned about.  Obama's past and present associations would preclude him from applying for a government job, muchless President! Although this is video has a light, mocking overtone, the information is real and credible.  I think we all deserve an explanation.  Clear your head and take a look.

Obama's - Words & Deeds

http://www.pittsburghlive.com/x/pittsburghtrib/opinion/s_591517.html

In March, Barack Obama's speech in Philadelphia on race was inspiring and knowledgeable.

Attempting to put the Rev. Jeremiah Wright controversy behind him, Obama said he had "already condemned, in unequivocal terms," Wright's "inexcusable," "divisive," and "racially charged" comments.

Wright's "incendiary language," he said, expressed "views that have the potential not only to widen the racial divide, but views that denigrate both the greatness and the goodness of our nation." Wright's criticisms of the United States, additionally, were based on "a profoundly distorted view of this country, a view that sees white racism as endemic and elevates what is wrong in America above all that we know is right with America."

The "offending sermons about America" by Wright, asserted Obama, were rooted in the past, in "a reality in which Rev. Wright and other African-Americans of his generation grew up," a generation that "came of age in the late fifties and early sixties, a time when segregation was still the law of the land and opportunity was systematically constricted."

It is this past that lives on in "the bitterness and bias" that make up the black experience in America, Obama explained, quoting William Faulkner: "The past isn't dead and buried. In fact, it isn't even passed."

Despair is the price of keeping this bitterness alive, the price of the endless preaching about past wrongs. The "legacy of defeat," said Obama, "was passed on to future generations, to those young men and increasingly young women who we see standing on street corners or languishing in our prisons, without hope or prospects for the future."

Unfortunately, to keep things from cooling down, to keep the money rolling their way, there's no shortage of hucksters who are willing and able to fan the flames of anger.

"At times, that anger," said Obama, "is exploited by politicians, to gin up votes along racial lines" -- and to gin up the flow of money from the pews.

"That anger is not always productive," Obama asserted. "Indeed, all too often it distracts attention from solving real problems; it keeps us from squarely facing our own complicity in our condition."

Why, then, given this call to reject "a politics that breeds division, and conflict, and cynicism," did Obama establish a long-lasting working relationship with unrepentant former terrorist William Ayers?

Obama dismissed inquiries about his relationship with Ayers, a founder of the Weather Underground, by saying that he was just "a guy who lives in my neighborhood."

In fact, Obama served from 1995 to 1999 as chairman of the board of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge (CAC), the brainchild of Ayers, an organization that funneled some $100 million into the hands of community organizers and activists, including ACORN, in order to radicalize Chicago's public schools.

Between 1969 and 1974, the Weather Underground claimed responsibility for some 20 bombings in the United States -- at police stations, banks, jails, courthouses, the Capitol and the Pentagon. Ayers became a fugitive in 1970, reports Andy McCarthy at the National Review, after three of his cohorts were "accidentally killed when the explosive they were building to Ayers' specifications -- Ayers was a bomb designer -- went off during construction."

The explosive, a nail bomb, "had been intended for detonation at a dance that was to be attended by army soldiers at Fort Dix, New Jersey," reports McCarthy. "Ayers attested that the bomb would have done serious damage, 'tearing through windows and walls and, yes, people too.'"

Ayers, describing the Weather Underground as "an American Red Army," motivated by "hope," succinctly summed up the organization's mission: "Kill all the rich people. Break up their cars and apartments."

"I don't regret setting bombs," Ayers told The New York Times in September 2001. "I feel we didn't do enough."

Ayers, in charge of shaping CAC's education philosophy, describes himself as "a radical, Leftist, small 'c' communist." Rather than focusing on anything as mundane as math or reading, the job of teachers, said Ayers, is to "teach against oppression."

Ayers "downplayed achievement tests in favor of activism," writes Stanley Kurtz, a senior fellow at the Ethics and Public Policy Center.

"Ayers wrote that teachers should be community organizers dedicated to provoking resistance to American racism and oppression," reports Kurtz. "He believes teacher education programs should serve as 'sites of resistance' to an oppressive system."

The question: Why do Obama's deeds contradict his words? Is anyone in the mainstream media curious?

Can They Catch Up? Of course.

Can They Catch Up? 
Of course. 
by William Kristol

...one shouldn't underestimate the ideological issue, and the potency of the fact that Obama and Biden are orthodox liberals. They're for raising taxes, federally funding abortions, naming activist judges, and losing wars. The American people may think--they do think--the country's on the wrong track, that the Bush administration has made too many mistakes and that the Republican party's no great shakes. But they haven't suddenly become liberals. And they probably aren't crazy about the prospect of a liberal administration governing unchecked, hand in hand with a liberal Congress. During the next four weeks, the McCain-Palin campaign should make this risky prospect vivid.
