The Obama Files

Obama
Barack Hussein Obama is a privileged African-American, who has not shared the black American experience. By birth, blood and training, he was a Muslim, who became a member of a Marxist, Black-African church. He is a socialist whose politics are rooted in Marx and whose tactics were conceived by the communist, Alinsky. He is a master at shaping his own mythology and completely unqualified to be Commander in Chief. He is not now, nor ever has been, a "natural born citizen" -- he was, at birth, a British subject and citizen of Kenya -- this fact is published on his own website.
Latest News
All new items posted to The Obama File are from mainstream media sources and responsible, if partisan, blogs. They are first posted on the "Latest News" page. After a week, or so, they are archived to the "subject area" pages, below. I don't write this stuff. I cherry-pick it and archive it here. I make every attempt to provide attribution and/or links to the original source. Many of the items in this archive have multiple sources/links. If you don't like the writer's viewpoint, send them an email, not me. If the reader finds content that is incorrect, I will correct or delete it upon the submission of two links to reliable sources with more accurate information. I want the stuff in here to be as correct as possible.
Biography
I've read everything I could get my hands on about this guy in the last two years and I know less about him now than I did at the beginning. I know he wrote most of what you think you know about him, and has admitted himself that a lot of it is made up.Obama has managed to live for 48 years without leaving any footprints -- none! There is no Obama documentation -- no records -- no bona fides -- no paper trail -- nothing! -- and he's got an army of lawyers making sure it stays that way -- and the unflattering stuff, out there in the world and on the Internet is systematically disappearing down the rabbit hole.
Family
This family isn't Ozzie and Harriet. It's closer to "Ozzie and Sharon Osborne meet the Jeffersons."Obama's mother, Anna, was a beatnick who was greatly influenced by left-wing and communist teachers in the Mercer Island High School, and Obama Sr. was a serial bigamist. He abandoned his wives and children. He became a wife-beater and drunk. His arrogance destroyed his government career. He killed a man and lost both legs in alcohol-related accidents and eventually killed himself behind the wheel -- hammered!
Education
Obama has had the finest possible education. Nobody knows how it was financed or what his grades were. His academic records are all sealed and he has an army of lawyers making sure they remained sealed.At college, Obama's philosophy was "to avoid being mistaken for a sellout, I chose my friends carefully. The more politically active black students. The foreign students. The Chicanos. The Marxist professors and structural feminists."
Religion
Obama's father was a Muslim. Obama's stepfather was a Muslim. Obama's grandfather was a Muslim. Sarah, who Obama calls grandmother is a Muslim. Obama's half-brothers and sisters are Muslims. To Muslims, Obama IS a Muslim, no matter what he says.Obama's sister Maya was quoted by the New York Times as saying, "My whole family was Muslim." I assume she considers Obama a member of her family, after all, she refers to him as "my brother" -- Oh!, and mom too!
Politics
Barack Obama was born of Marxists; mentored by a communist writer and activist during his formative years; spent his college days hanging around radical activists; worked as a radical community organizer, learning the radical tactics of the communist, Alinsky; attended a radical church; was introduced to Chicago politics by a communist in the home of another communist; and today lends his political skill to the international goals of radical activists. He had radicals working on his campaign and has them in his administration. The simple fact is, since the age of 12, the people closest to Obama have been Marxists.
Community Organizing
A "community organizer" is an agitator -- a rabble-rouser. The agitator's job, according to Alinsky, is first to bring folks to the "realization" that they are indeed miserable, that their misery is the fault of unresponsive governments or greedy corporations, then help them to bond together to demand what they deserve, and to make such an almighty stink that the dastardly governments and corporations will see imminent "self-interest" in granting whatever it is that will cause the harassment to cease. In these methods, euphemistically labeled "community organizing," Obama had a four-year education, which he often says was the best education he ever got anywhere.
IllinoisHouseandSenate
While in the Illinois State Senate, Obama supported homosexual marriage, racial preferences, the banning of all firearms, flag-burning, socialized medicine and the absolute right to abortion, including partial-birth abortions. He voted against requiring medical care for aborted fetuses who survive an abortion. He is anti-war, voted against the reauthorization of the USA Patriot Act, against privatizing Social Security and opposes the death penalty, three strikes laws and school vouchers. He has no military service record. He strongly supports the decriminalization of marijuana.
United States Senate
In January 2008 the National Journal published its rankings of all U.S. senators -- based on how they had voted on a host of foreign and domestic policy bills -- and rated Barack Obama "the most liberal Senator of 2007."In the area of domestic policy voting, the study found that "Obama voted the liberal position on 65 of the 66 key votes on which he voted … [and] garnered perfect liberal scores in both the economic and social categories."
The Wife
"My experiences at Princeton have made me far more aware of my 'blackness' than ever before," the future Mrs. Obama wrote in her thesis introduction. "I have found that at Princeton, no matter how liberal and open-minded some of my white professors and classmates try to be toward me, I sometimes feel like a visitor on campus; as if I really don’t belong. Regardless of the circumstances under which I interact with whites at Princeton, it often seems as if, to them, I will always be black first and a student second. This will likely lead to my further integration and/or assimilation into a White cultural and social structure that will only allow me to remain on the periphery of society; never becoming a full participant."
The Campaign
Did you know that Obama finished EVERY campaign speech with "We will change America -- and we will change the world."
CampaignAdvisers
Obama named Zbigniew Brzezinski, the architect of the current situation in the middle east, as his Chief Foreign Policy Advisor. Brzezinski views history through the lens of Marxism, which, despite its atheism, has much in common with Islam. Both Communism and Islam are universalistic ideologies that reject the idea of the nation-state. Both do not regard adherence to treaties between nations as obligatory. Both Communism and Islam are militaristic and expansionist creeds that do not recognize international borders. Under Brzezinski’s influence, Carter lowered the defense budget and pursued a soft line toward the Soviet Union. We can expect an Obama White House to pursue a very soft line toward Islam.
Campaign Supporters
Mississippi death row inmate Dale Leo Bishop’s final words before being executed included an endorsement of presidential contender Senator Obama."Senator Obama offers hope for people like me," Bishop asserted. "I have feelings, dreams, and aspirations. I don’t want to die."
BogusPOTUS
The daily pages from the Latest News page are archived here, by month. It's drill-down from the month to the day, to the item.This section will be renamed "Commander In Chief" when Obama releases his bona fides and proves his eligibility to serve as POTUS to the American People.
The Cabinet
Background and news items related to Obama's Cabinet members, and White House czars and advisers.
Lawsuits
Obama is employing the highest of high-paid lawyers in a dozen states to prevent the American People's access to his bona fides. There have been at least 48 lawsuits filed in state and federal courts, including the Supreme Court, alleging that Obama is not eligible to serve as Commander-in-Chief. Not a single complaint has ever been heard. Every single case has been dismissed without a hearing on one technicality or another. No judge has ever allowed any plaintiff to present any evidence.
Natural Born
The question that the court must decide is whether a person governed by the laws of Great Britain at the time of their birth could be considered a natural "born citizen" of the United States as required by Article 2, Section 1, Clause 5, of our Constitution. The question remains unanswered in any United States court.Obama ain't talkin'
COLB
This bogus birth certificate, a Certification of Live Birth (COLB), was used to deceive over 300 million Americans in regards to Obama's true identity and birth origins. This bogus birth certificate was used to deceive members of our government, our judiciary, our armed forces, and law enforcement into believing that Obama was born in Hawaii, and that he is a natural-born US citizen who is constitutionally qualified to become president.
Military
Obama, in a widely-viewed video, said he will end the War in Iraq, cut defense spending on weapons, and basically work to gut the military and put our national security in the toilet -- all of this in time when we need our defenses and our military most. His lack of regard for defense; his naive belief that we can talk our way into the hearts of radical, rogue & nuclear nations; and his clamoring for a socialist system is downright naive.
Race
From his early teens onward, Obama desperately wanted to be black. In "Dreams," he writes, "I was trying to raise myself to be a black man in America, and beyond the given of my appearance, no one around me seemed to know exactly what that meant." He claims that, "I ceased to advertise my mother’s race at the age of twelve or thirteen, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites." -- and this -- "...never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn’t speak to my own. It was into my father’s image, the black man, son of Africa, that I’d packed all the attributes I sought in myself..."
Islam
In an interview with Nicholas Kristof, published in The New York Times, Obama recited the Muslim call to prayer, the Adhan. According to Kristof, he did so, "...with a first-class [Arabic] accent." In the same interview, Obama said the Muslim call to prayer is "one of the prettiest sounds on earth." According to Islamic scholars, reciting the Shahada, the Muslim declaration of faith, makes one a Muslim. Obama knows this from his Quranic studies -- and he knows the New York Times will publish this fact and it will be read throughout the Islamic world. Regardless of Obama's religion, what message is he sending the world's 1.2 billion Muslims?
Africa
When Barack Obama Jr. was born on Aug. 4,1961, Kenya was a British colony, still part of the United Kingdom’s dwindling empire. As a Kenyan citizen, Barack Obama Sr. was a British subject whose citizenship status was governed by The British Nationality Act of 1948. That same act governed the status of Obama Sr.'s children -- yup -- at birth, Obama was a Kenyan citizen and British subject. He's so proud of this fact, that he has it published on his own website.
Lies
"My father served in World War II, and when he came home, he got the services that he needed." Obama's father was nine years old when World War II ended in August, 1945. Obama's father never served in any army, but was very close to the leadership of the Mau Mau.
Gaffes
Obama said that Arabic translators deployed in Iraq are needed in Afghanistan. However, Iraqis speak Arabic or Kurdish and in Afghanistan, it's any of a half dozen other languages -- including Pashtu, Dari, and Farsi.
Intimidation
Obama sought to block radio stations by warning station managers that they would be subject to investigations by the Justice Department. Obama's campaign also planned to compel advertisers to pressure stations that air anti-Obama programming.
NationalSecurityForce

On July 2nd, 2008, Obama spoke in Colorado Springs and hit themes of national service, foreign policy, and national security. In that vein, Obama proposed a rather extraordinary idea -- that the US should spend as much money on a civilian national security force as it does on the military. His actual words were: "We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded."

RumorsConspiracies& ShakyStuff
I try hard not to publish any ugly rumors or stuff that I know to be untrue, but there's a lot of interesting, odd, and bizarre stories that come my way that I don't put in the archive for any number of reasons. I'm gonna start putting them in here.The reader has to decide whether to believe any of this stuff -- and I mean no disrespect to the authors or originators for putting your stuff in here -- it doesn't mean it's NOT true, plausible or possible.
ACORN
Obama’s most important radical connection has been hiding in plain sight all along? Obama has had an intimate and long-term association with the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now (ACORN), the largest radical group in America. If I told you Obama had close ties with MoveOn.org or Code Pink, you’d know what I was talking about. ACORN is at least as radical as these better-known groups, arguably more so. Yet because ACORN works locally, in carefully selected urban areas, its national profile is lower. ACORN likes it that way. And so, I’d wager, does Barack Obama.
Iconography

Barack Obama collected Spider-Man comics as a child, so Marvel Comics wanted to give him a "shout-out back" by featuring him in a bonus story, said Joe Quesada, Marvel's editor-in-chief. "How great is that? The commander in chief to be is actually a nerd in chief," Quesada said. "It was really, really cool to see that we had a geek in the White House. We're all thrilled with that."

TEAParties
As unemployment soars and anger over Wall Street bailouts mounts, public outrage will seek an outlet. Populism could go in many directions -- and could easily ebb when the economy revives. But if it takes shape as an anti-spending movement, it could revive conservatives much as the 1970s tax protests did.
