More Than 100 Reasons to Vote Against Barack Obama


Below is a good list of reasons not to vote for Barack Obama. They are not listed in order of importance. I list the life issues, which I think are primary, toward the end. Some of the reasons are obviously more important than others. There are probably some things that should be on the list that I haven’t thought of. Some of the items reflect my opinions, but I have tried to document the facts on the list with links to credible news organizations and independent fact check organizations. To make a comment contact me at FrPeter16@cs.com

Barack Obama is NOT a New Kind of Politician

Barack Obama is a product of the corrupt Chicago political machine. He did nothing to reform it: http://chicagoagainstobama.wordpress.com/
http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/02/26/AR2007022600720_2.html

Barack Obama has the most liberal voting record of any other United States Senator: http://nj.nationaljournal.com/voteratings/

Obama had his first political mentor Alice Palmer, thrown off the ballot in Illinois in order to take her place in the Illinois State Senate. It was Alice Palmer who introduced Obama to the domestic terrorists William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn:

http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0208/8630.html

Michelle Obama was appointed vice president at the University Of Chicago hospitals in 2005. In 2006, Obama requested that the University of Chicago receive $1 Million to support its construction of the new hospital pavilion: http://obamaearmarks.com/2008/09/09/university-of-chicago-medical-center/

Citizens Against Government Waste say that Obama has an 18% rating, McCain is rated 88%. Senator Biden is rated the worst with 0%: http://sayanythingblog.com/entry/citizens_against_government_waste_obama_isnt_the_worst_senator_on_waste_bid/
While Obama talks a lot about “crossing the aisle”. His actual record in this regard is very meager: http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2008/sep/15/records-show-mccain-more-bipartisan/

Barack Obama criticized Hillary Clinton for her financial ties to Wal-Mart, while conveniently failing to mention his own wife’s ties to Wal-Mart: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/1551441/Obama-called-hypocrite-for-wife

Obama voted “Present” 129 times as a State Senator to avoid taking a stand on controversial votes: http://www.suntimes.com/news/politics/obama/679446,CST-NWS-obama04.article

Obama claimed credit for sponsoring legislation that was actually given to him by his mentor Illinois Senate President Emil Jones. Obama repaid Jones with $300 million of earmarks for Illinois, including tens of millions of dollars of earmarks for pet projects in Emil Jones district: http://www.talkleft.com/story/2008/3/23/224059/069

Obama claimed to “press the wrong button” six different times when confronted about controversial votes in the Illinois State Senate: http://www.latimes.com/news/nationworld/nation/la-na-obamavotes24jan24,1,7079399.story

Obama implied he was poor and grew up on food stamps; Obama grew up mostly with his grandparents, who were upper middle-class bankers in Hawaii. Food stamps weren’t available in Hawaii until the seventies: http://sweetness-light.com/archive/when-was-obamas-mom-on-food-stamps

Obama threw his grandmother who raised him under the bus, comparing her attitudes to Rev. Jeremiah Wright’s racism and later calling her a “typical white person”: http://blog.washingtonpost.com/the-trail/2008/01/14/obama_and_the_race_card_1.html

Obama removed his name from the ballot in the Michigan Democratic Primary when early polling showed he would lose by a wide margin: http://www.talkleft.com/story/2008/3/9/211753/2995

In 2007, Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama signed a pledge to not campaign in Florida. The Democratic National Committee (DNC) was punishing Florida for moving the Primary to January 29. Obama broke his pledge and ran ads in Florida: http://www.heraldtribune.com/article/20080123/NEWS/801230668/-1/RSS01

Obama who runs as a candidate of change helped keep Chicago politics dirty by supporting the corrupt John Stroger over Forrest Claypool, a progressive reformer, for President of the Cook County Board of Commissioners: http://findarticles.com/p/articles/mi_m1282/is_16_60/ai_n28028562/pg_2

Obama changed his nuclear regulation bill to favor nuclear companies under pressure from financial supporters at Exelon, a Chicago based company helping to develop a nuclear waste facility at Yucca Mountain in Nevada: http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/290/

Obama claims to not accept oil money, but in fact he has accepted more than $213,000 from individuals who work for companies in the oil and gas industry and their spouses. Two of Obama's bundlers are top executives at oil companies and are listed on his Web site as raising between $50,000 and $100,000 for him: http://www.newsweek.com/id/129895

Obama claims to have no ties to lobbyists, but several registered lobbyists have raised over a million dollars for his campaign, sometimes having their wives write the check to conceal his ties to them: http://americandigest.org/mt-archives/bad_americans/hows_that_obama.php

Obama Supports Union Ploy to Drop Secret Ballots:
http://townhall.com/columnists/DonaldLambro/2008/08/08/obama_supports_union_ploy_to_drop_secret_ballots

Barack Obama Has Been Less Than Honest With the American Public

Senator Barack H. Obama Jr. repeatedly refused to provide any responses to citizens on the issues through the 2008 Political Courage Test when asked to do so by national leaders of the political parties, prominent members of the media, Project Vote Smart President Richard Kimball, and Project Vote Smart staff: http://www.votesmart.org/npat.php?can_id=9490

Obama claimed, in front of a Jewish audience, that his uncle liberated Auschwitz. American troops did not liberate Auschwitz, the Soviets did:
http://michellemalkin.com/2008/05/27/whoa-now-thats-a-gaffe/

Obama claimed he was born due to 1965 Selma marches; Obama was born in 1961: http://www.talkleft.com/story/2007/3/5/201426/5656

Obama claimed the Kennedy family funded a program that brought his father over from Kenya. His father came to the United States in 1959 and the Kennedys did not fund his trip: http://voices.washingtonpost.com/fact-checker/2008/03/obamas_camelot_connection.html

Obama has implied that his father was a poor goat-herder. In fact, Obama’s father was the privileged son of wealthy landowners: http://forums.pelicanparts.com/showthread.php?perpage=20&threadid=427861

After promising to fund his campaign with only public financing, Barack Obama went back on his pledge because he found he could raise huge amounts of money on his own and exceed the public campaign finance limits: http://voices.washingtonpost.com/fact-checker/2008/06/obama_reneges_on_public_financ.html

Obama has suggested that people who don’t support him are racists: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HcfeToczFnM

Barack Obama’s religious beliefs are not a good reason to vote against him, but failure to be honest about them is. Why can’t he tell us the truth? His mother was raised by non-practicing Christians; his father was raised a Muslim, but was an atheist by the time he had married Obama's mother. Obama's step-father was also Muslim, but of an eclectic kind who could make room for animist and Hindu beliefs. The Left apparently felt that Mitt Romney’s religious beliefs were a legitimate issue in the campaign. Why the double standard when it comes to Obama? http://atheism.about.com/od/barackobamareligionfaith/tp/BarackObamaReligionSecularism.htm

Obama as Messiah???

Obama’s followers often compare him to Jesus Christ. MSNBC reporter Chris Matthews said he gets a thrill running up his leg when he hears him speak. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uhnynk6XkkU

Many Obama supporters say Jesus was a community organizer just like Obama was: http://newsbusters.org/blogs/mark-finkelstein/2008/09/14/bash-giuliani-brokaw-brandishes-jesus-community-organizer-pilate-g

Here young children sing the praises of their Dear Leader Obama: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GExiNDBoifs

Here young men, dressed in military fatigues, praise Obama as if he is a demi-god: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wOtGr1JFCnE

Here Louis Farrakhan calls Barack Obama "the Messiah": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OowxMcVTjTE

This hero worship is disturbing and chilling: http://www.americanthinker.com/2008/01/obama_as_liberal_messiah.html

Here's a lot more about how Obama is being treated as a messiah:
http://obamamessiah.blogspot.com/

Barack Obama Lacks Experience

Obama spent 143 days in the Senate before he started running for President: http://tampa.craigslist.org/pnl/rnr/841195538.html

Obama has never authored a piece of major legislation.

Obama has no executive experience. He has never run a business or done a pay roll etc..
He himself has admitted that he does not have the experience to be the President of the United States: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5BnLozS-TnM&feature=related

His running mate Senator Biden charged that Obama lacked the experience to be President: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lknTPvH1wSg

Without a teleprompter Obama is hesitant and confused: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eDJSVPAx8xc

Here is Obama claiming he’s visited 57 States: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EpGH02DtIws

Barack Obama’s Alliances are Highly Questionable

His wife Michelle charged that America was a mean country and said that for the first time in her adult lifetime she is proud of her country because of her husband’s campaign: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LYY73RO_egw

His long time friend and mentor is Rev. Jeremiah Wright formerly the Pastor Trinity Church who said instead of God bless America, we should say God damn America: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9hPR5jnjtLo

Another mentor of Obama's is Khalid Al-Mansour. Khalid Al-Mansour is a racist and an anti-Semite.

Obama claimed he never heard anti-American, anti-White speeches at his church; his own autobiography indicates he did and as he later admitted under pressure: http://sweetness-light.com/archive/obama-i-never-heard-wright-say-bad-things

Obama is a friend of Father Michael Phleger a radical Catholic priest who has honored Louis Farrakhan at his Church: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TWigzBClEk8&feature=related

Barack Obama is a friend of former members of the radical Weather Underground terrorist organization William Ayers and his wife Bernardine Dohrn. They were responsible for several bombings between 1970 and 1974 the Pentagon, the Capitol and a police station in San Francisco. Ayers is quoted in the New York Times on September 11, 2001 as saying "I don't regret setting bombs...I feel we didn't do enough." Ayers helped Obama launch his Illinois State Senate career, held a fund raiser for him and the two served on the board of the Woods Fund together : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rxoiZdBSi-g

Obama while serving on the board of the Woods Fund with Bill Ayers gave money to an Arab group that calls the establishment of Israel a "catastrophe". Rashid Khalidi is the co-founder of this group. He is a Columbia University professor and has condoned terrorist tactics by Palestinian organizations. Rashid Khalidi held a fundraiser for Obama: http://www.blogger.com/post-edit.g?blogID=16662144&postID=7877160257021766714
The Los Angeles Times is currently suppressing a video of Obama praising Rashid Khalidi: http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=ZDFkMGE2MmM1M2Q5MmY0ZmExMzUxMWRhZGJmMTAyOGY=

Obama helped to organize the Million Man March in 1995 sponsored by the racist and anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan: http://gatewaypundit.blogspot.com/2008/04/wright-obama-helped-organize-march-with.html

Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam support Obama for President: http://www.newsmax.com/kessler/farrakhan_support/2008/01/17/65177.html

Obama has had a long and close association with the radical group ACORN which has been tied to voter fraud in several states and the sub-prime mortgage crisis:

Obama claims not to take money from Washington lobbyists, but he takes money from lobbyists' spouses and holds fundraisers at the offices of law firms that lobby Congress. He happily accepts huge amounts of money from executives of big oil and drug companies and many others. In fact, he's relying on two oil company executives to raise $50,000 apiece for his campaign: http://blogs.usatoday.com/oped/2008/04/obamas-claims-o.html

Tony Rezko is a convicted criminal and long time friend and fund-raiser for Obama. Rezko was indicted last fall on federal charges that accuse him of demanding kickbacks from companies seeking state business. Obama claimed Rezko donated only $50,000 to him. Later, under pressure, he revealed Rezko raised more than twice that amount and also sat on his fundraising committee. When asked about his friend, Obama said, “I’ve never done any favors for him.” But evidence proved Obama had written letters to city and state officials praising Rezko’s business practices. Obama helped steer 14 million tax dollars to him: http://www.suntimes.com/news/politics/425305,CST-NWS-obama13.article

Tony Rezko helped to buy Obama’s house: http://www.suntimes.com/news/watchdogs/757340,CST-NWS-watchdog24.article

His running mate Joe Biden has the third most liberal voting record in the Senate. He dropped out of the race for the Presidency in 1988 after he admitted to plagiarism in law school and in some of his speeches: http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2008/08/joe_bidens_plagiarism_problem.html

Barack Obama campaigned for Raila Odinga, a radical Kenyan Marxist thug: http://jewagainstobama.wordpress.com/2008/03/02/obama-supports-kenyan-islamist-raila-odinga/

Obama has said in speeches “we are our brother’s keeper”. But his brother in Kenya lives in a hut on just $10 a year: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/newstopics/uselection2008/barackobama/2590614/Barack-Obamas-lost-brother-found-in-Kenya.html

Barack Obama Advocates a Dangerous Foreign Policy

The world is still a dangerous place and Barack Obama has no Foreign Policy no foreign policy experience. Rogue nations perceive Obama as weak. Weakness invites attack. Perhaps China will invade Taiwan. Maybe Iran will attack Israel or Russia will invade the Ukraine. Maybe Venezuela will stir up trouble in the Caribbean.

Even his running mate Senator Joe Biden admits that the rookie President will be tested in the first six months in Office.

Biden Slammed Obama for Voting Against Funding theTroops:
Barack Obama falsely accused American soldiers of "air raiding villages and killing civilians.": http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YLlyjGjeZIY

Obama said he would have been against the surge in Iraq anyway, even though he admits it has succeeded beyond our wildest dreams: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2hEzGKQLmU4

Obama is constantly changing his position about when troops will be withdrawn from Iraq. Sometimes he favors a precipitous withdrawal. At other times he says conditions on the ground will dictate the time: http://www.ohiogop.org/spread-the-word/articles/2008/03/obamas-iraq-timeline

Obama's inexperience would lead him to grant legitimacy and raise the stature of dictators like Fidel Castro, Kim Jong-il and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad by granting them a face to face meeting without pre-conditions: http://www.usatoday.com/news/politics/2007-09-24-1364154241_x.htm

Iran is a state sponsor of terrorism. Obama has made conflicting statements on Iran which is close to producing atom weaponry. Our allies fear Obama will undercut progress in negotiations due to his offer to engage in face to face talks with Iran’s President: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/06/21/AR2008062101658.html

Obama would fight terrorism not as a war, but as a criminal problem. This is a pre-9/11 mind set: http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=NTFhZTdmZWZlMGExNDRjOWRlZWUxYzEwNjg0MWEzZDc=

Obama would down-size the American military during a time of war. He has pledged to dismantle our national defense systems, including development of future defense technologies leaving us vulnerable to attack: http://www.rightupfront.org/2008/02/obama-on-military-spending-and-foreign.html

The terrorist group Hamas supports Barack Obama: http://www.powerlineblog.com/archives2/2008/04/020315.php

Jesse Jackson, an Obama supporter speaking in Evian France said that 'Zionists' control American foreign policy and they'll lose power in an Obama administration.

Obama is taking illegal foreign donations from Palestinians.

Obama is the Chairman of the Senate Europe and NATO subcommittee. He has failed to hold a single hearing: http://www.politifact.com/truth-o-meter/statements/379/

Obama didn’t bother to visit wounded troops on his visit to Germany, instead he went to the gym: http://blog.washingtonpost.com/the-trail/2008/07/25/no_troop_visits_for_obama_in_g.html

Barack Obama’s Policies Would Hurt the Economy

Obama wants to raise taxes to "spread the wealth around".

Obama’s tax policy that would take the nation back to the effective marginal tax rates of the Carter days. He has called for increases in payroll, capital gains, dividends and death taxes. He claims to only want to raise taxes on the wealthy, but this could have a devastating effect on new investment and small businesses: http://www.wsj.com/public/article_print/SB121391937825890363.html

Obama would increase government spending by possibly one trillion dollars in four years: http://www.usnews.com/blogs/capital-commerce/2008/2/14/obamas-trillion-dollar-spending-plan.html

Senator Obama voted against his own economic package. Sen. Wayne Allard (R-CO) Acombed through Sen. Barack Obama’s (D-IL) many campaign promises and compiled a list of 188 new spending proposals that he then packaged together and offered as an amendment to the Fiscal 2009 budget plan. Allard calculated that for the 111 proposals for which cost estimated were possible, Obama’s promises would cost the American taxpayer $300 billion per year and $1.4 trillion over five years. Allard released a floor statement highlighting the size of this spending package, including:

The $300 billion is more than the $294 billion the U.S. spent on imported oil last year.
Obama’s current tax raise proposal would cover only $225 billion over 5 years … far short of the $1.4 trillion in spending.

To finance just the first year of $300 billion in spending, Congress would have to raise taxes on the top 1% of tax payers by 57%.

Obama voted against his own platform and the measure was defeated 97-0.
http://blog.heritage.org/2008/03/14/obama-votes-against-his-own-platform/

Obama proposes nothing new in terms of an economic plan. It’s just the old-fashioned solutions proposed by liberals for years –tax, spend and regulate that lead to economic stagnation.: http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=MGYxYWM4NjkxMjUwMzBhZDAwNTg2NjZmYmU5MWU2ZmQ=
http://blog.heritage.org/2008/03/14/obama-votes-against-his-own-platform/

Franklin Raines is one of Senator Obama’s advisors on economic issues. Raines was the head of Fannie Mae which has now collapsed. Under Raines Fannie Mae committed extensive financial fraud. Raines made 25 million dollars. Now taxpayers are stuck with the bill: http://countusout.wordpress.com/2008/09/21/obama-housing-adviser-franklin-raines-perpetrated-an-enron-like-accounting-scandal-as-chief-executive-officer-of-fannie-mae/
http://voices.washingtonpost.com/fact-checker/2008/09/obamas_fannie_mae_connection.html

Jim Johnson, former Fannie Mae CEO was a top advisor, chosen to vet potential vice presidential nominees. In 1998, Fannie Mae’s earnings were manipulated, which resulted in "maximum payouts" to executives including Johnson who earned $1.9 Million when he otherwise would not have earned a bonus. Johnson received special loans from Countrywide Financial CEO Angelo Mozilo. Property records show Mr. Johnson has received more than $7 Million in loans from Countrywide since 1998, the first coming in the waning days of his Fannie Mae tenure. Johnson also received fees and compensation from Fannie Mae worth $3.3 Million between 2001 and 2006. He resigned, but he's now back on Obama’s campaign : http://www.barackbook.com/Profiles/JimJohnson.htm

In his campaign speeches he has claimed to want to renegotiate NAFTA. At the same time he sent an advisor to Canada to reassure Canadians that this was just politics and wasn’t true: http://www.reuters.com/article/topNews/idUSN0338038720080303

Obama will increase the capital gains tax which will discourage investment: http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalradar/2008/08/obama-clarifies.html

Obama's Affinity to Marxists Dates Back to His College Days: http://elections.foxnews.com/2008/10/28/obama-affinity-marxists-dates-college-days/

Obama is opposed to renewing President Bush’s tax cuts which actually succeeded in bring more revenue into the Federal Treasury. Effectively, this will be a tax increase on all American who pay taxes. On June 28, 2007 in a Democratic Primary debate Obama said “There’s no doubt that the tax system has been skewed. And the Bush tax cuts -- people didn’t need them, and they weren’t even asking for them, and that’s why they need to be less…”:
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/06/28/us/politics/29transcript.html?pagewanted=all

Obama proposes a Windfall Profits tax. Jimmy Carter tried it and it failed miserably. It raised the cost of gas and led to drop in domestic oil production: http://www.taxhistory.org/thp/readings.nsf/cf7c9c870b600b9585256df80075b9dd/edf8de04e58e4b14852570ba0048848b?OpenDocument

During his campaign Obama has criticized the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), blaming it for the loss of jobs in the United States. But he sent a senior member of his campaign team to Canada to tell officials there not to take his criticisms seriously: http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/ArticleNews/story/CTVNews/20080227/dems_nafta_080227/20080227/

Obama lied when he told Social Security recipients that their money would now be in the stock market under McCain's plan: http://www.factcheck.org/elections-2008/obamas_social_security_whopper.html
http://voices.washingtonpost.com/fact-checker/2008/09/obama_misleads_on_social_secur.html

Barack Obama’s Policies on Energy Would Keep Us Dependent on Foreign Oil

Barack Obama opposes drilling on and offshore to reduce gas and oil prices.

While Barack Obama has opposed off-shore drilling and a gas-tax holiday (as supported by John McCain or Hillary Clinton), his solution to our energy crisis does include additional tax burdens on oil company profits, taxes we can only imagine will be passed on to the consumer, thus causing an even more expensive trip to the gas station.

Ethanol subsidies are a major plank in Barack Obama's view of energy independence and national security. He favors ethanol subsidies, some of which end up in the hands of the same oil companies he says should be subjected to a windfall profits tax: http://www.nytimes.com/2008/06/23/us/politics/23ethanol.html?_r=1&pagewanted=2&oref=slogin

Obama is opposed to drilling in ANWAR, in a desolate tundra area the size of Minnesota. The oil industry says it would need to use only 2,000 acres-an area no bigger than Dulles Airport, outside D.C.-to get that oil. This footprint would be 50 times smaller than the Montana ranch owned by Ted Turner: http://www.nationalreview.com/flashback/goldberg200503180758.asp
While Obama attacks American automakers for not making enough environmental friendly automobiles, he drives a V-8 hemi-powered Chrysler 300: http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2007/05/more_obama_hypocrisy.html

Obama claims that the oil savings from inflating our tires properly would equal new production plans: http://www.worldnetdaily.com/index.php?fa=PAGE.view&pageId=71044

Barack Obama Would Not Support Badly Needed Education Reform
Obama would block true education reform because he too beholden to the teacher’s unions: http://www.boston.com/news/nation/articles/2007/08/07/clinton_obama_go_easy_on_school_reform_talk/
http://article.nationalreview.com/print/?q=Y2E1MTFkZTVjZTlkOTBiYWFlYWUyM2RjYTRjNjhkMmM=

When speaking before Planned Parenthood Barack Obama defended his proposal of providing sex education to children in kindergarten. Hear him say it in his own words: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vJ6vZRy62KY

Obama sends his children to private schools, but he opposes school choice which would especially help poor parents send their children to better schools: http://www.nysun.com/editorials/obama-and-vouchers/71798/

Barack Obama’s Poilicies on Health Care Would be a Bureaucratic Nightmare

Obama’s health care plan would not lower the premiums of current payers as he claims.
His health care proposal will not create universal health care. It will be bureaucratic debacle and lead to wasteful government spending: http://www.americanthinker.com/2008/03/obamas_health_care_plan.html
Elizabeth Edwards Knocks Obama Health Care Plan:
http://www.aim.org/don-irvine-blog/elizabeth-edwards-knocks-obama-health-care-plan/

Barack Obama Supports Open Borders. Legal Immigration is a Great Blessing to the United States, Illegal Immigration Poses a Threat.

Obama Voted for continuing federal funds for declared "sanctuary cities". These cities will not enforce federal laws against illegal immigration. http://www.ontheissues.org/2008/Barack_Obama_Immigration.htm

Obama Voted for allowing illegal aliens to participate in Social Security. http://www.ontheissues.org/2008/Barack_Obama_Immigration.htm


He supports health care for illegal immigrants. This is crushing the health care system in some states: http://www.ontheissues.org/2008/Barack_Obama_Immigration.htm

Obama scores 8% by USBC on immigration issues.

OnTheIssues.org interprets the 2005-2006 USBC scores as follows:
0%-30%: open-border stance (approx. 197 members)
30%-70%: mixed record on open borders (approx. 70 members)
70%-100%: sealed-border stance (approx. 202 members)
http://www.ontheissues.org/2008/Barack_Obama_Immigration.htm

Barack Obama is Weak on the Second Amendment

He is unclear about his support for the Second Amendment to the Constitution. Americans should not relinquish their legitimate right to self-defense: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2008/04/06/AR2008040601652.html

At a fundraiser before rich, elite Democrats he mocked people who live in rural areas as bitter people who cling to guns and religion: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DTxXUufI3jA

Barack Obama Effectively Supports Same-Sex Marriage

Obama would repeal the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) which would force other states to recognize same-sex marriages recognized in other states like Massachusetts. So much for the idea of federalism! http://www.windycitymediagroup.com/gay/lesbian/news/ARTICLE.php?AID=4018

Obama supports strong civil unions for homosexuals. In practice, this is not much different than supporting same-sex marriage: http://www.insidesocal.com/outinhollywood/2008/04/barack_obama_on_gay_marriage.html

Obama supports adoption for same-sex couples: http://www.advocate.com/news_detail_ektid58998.asp

Obama voted against a Federal Marriage amendment to define marriage as a relationship between a man and a woman: http://obama.senate.gov/press/060607-obama_statement_26/index.php

Obama is opposed to California’s Marriage amendment to define marriage as a relationship between a man and a woman: http://www.lifesitenews.com/ldn/2008/jul/08073005.html

Barack Obama Would Appoint Activist Judges and Oppose Legal Reform

Obama would appoint activist judges to the Supreme Court and appellate courts who would legislate from the bench:
http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalradar/2008/05/mccain-criticiz.html

Obama opposes necessary TORT reform legislation: http://www.pointoflaw.com/archives/003354.php

Obama believes in a “living Constitution”. So a judge can change it arbitrarily without having to bother with the amendment process: http://www.weeklystandard.com/Content/Public/Articles/000/000/014/849oyckg.asp?pg=1
Obama criticized the Constitution because it does require redistribution of wealth in a 2001 radio interview. He called the Constitution "a charter of negative liberties" and wanted to move beyond the restrictions that the Founding Fathers placed on government: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iivL4c_3pck&eurl=http://www.hollywoodgrind.com/barack-obama-redistribution-of-wealth-radio-interview/

Obama voted against the highly qualified Chief Justice John Roberts and Justice Samuel Alito: http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/23276453/

Barack Obama is an Extremist on Abortion

Barack Obama So Extreme on Abortion He Would Let Babies Die Who Survive Them

Obama voted against requiring medical treatment to be given to babies born alive after surviving a botched abortion. Jill Stanek is a nurse who uncovered the fact that Christ Hospital in Illinois was performing induced labor abortions. Some of these babies are actually born alive. Jill Stanek saw one who was discarded in a utility closet and rocked the baby for about 50 minutes before he died. Barack Obama voted against giving medical treatment to these babies.

Michelle Obama defended partial-birth abortions in a 2004 letter: http://www.lifenews.com/nat4034.html

Barack Obama supports the extreme Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA). If enacted, FOCA would obliterate hundreds of state laws that protect women, parents, children, and health care workers, while forcing taxpayers to foot the bill for millions of abortions. It would overturn commonsense laws like parental notification, conscience protections, abortion waiting periods, informed consent, and regulations for women's health: http://www.lifenews.com/nat4056.html
Estimates are that if Obama becomes President and signs FOCA it will lead to 125,000 more abortions each year: http://www.lifenews.com/nat4359.html

As someone who listens to conservative talk radio all day, and watches Fox News Channel at night, I knew all these 'fun-facts' about Oh-Blah-Ma, as I call him. What is terribly frightening to me is that the liberal media has been spoon feeding the masses half-truths and outright lies. The fourth estate, especially the NY Slimes and its editors have managed to change what used to be the newspaper of record, from one of journalistic intergrity to just plain editorializing THEIR point of view. Most voters don't have time to look into other points of view and believe whatever the networks, CNN, MSNBC, and mainstream publications print. Because of that sad fact -and the sneaky liberal agenda being pushed by the likes of Chris Matthews, Keith Oberman, PInch Salsberger, and dingbat Katie Couric, and the rest- Oh-Blah-Ma will most likely be our next president, and if liberals think we have economic and sociocultural problems now...they will be the ones to blame when they elect a known creeping communist into office and realize that as meglomaniacal they thought Bush was- and how this past year's economy has been a financial fiasco (thank you Dems!)...the worst is yet to come!

Catholic folks and other pro-Life supporters: we can't let this man get in. One thing we can say about Mr. Obama is that there is no doubt where he stands. If he gets in, it will likely be the result of our staying home.

The "Barnyard Homilist" said...

Never be afraid to vote your conscience, folks. And if you do, you won't make a mistake.

Oh, and another thing:
I've heard some otherwise well meaning people say "How many abortions have these so-called 'pro-Life' candidates stopped?" If it is merely ONE abortion stopped, it is worth it.

1. In his speech July 17, 2007 to Planned Parenthood, the largest abortion provider in the US, Senator Obama made the following promise:

"The first thing I'd do as president is sign the Freedom of Choice Act.".

The Freedom of Choice Act (FOCA) is legislation Obama has co-sponsored along with 18 other senators that would annihilate every single state law limiting or regulating abortion, including the federal ban on partial birth abortion.

2. As an Illinois state senator, Barack Obama twice opposed legislation to define as “persons” babies who survive late-term abortions. Mr. Obama said in a speech on the Illinois Senate floor that he could not accept that babies wholly emerged from their mother’s wombs are “persons,” and thus deserving of equal protection under the Constitution’s 14th Amendment. In doing this, he condones infanticide.

3. He is quoted as saying, "I've got two daughters. 9 years old and 6 years old. I am going to teach them first of all about values and morals. But if they make a mistake, I don't want them punished with a baby. I don't want them punished with an STD at the age of sixteen." See the video below:

Thanks again, Fr.

Very well researched Father. To me, Obama's associations are the key to understanding his true worldview. That worldview is anti-American, anti-Western, deeply influenced by Marxism, and premised on moral relativism. I simply refuse to be one of the "useful idiots" (to borrow a phrase that the Marxist mentors of Obama's youth would have been familiar with) taken in by his cult of personality. Anyone considering voting for him ought to reflect on the consequences of serving as an "enabler" of far left in its quest to destroy Christianity and Western civilization.

Swimming said...

The Washington Post article you linked to with regards to Foreign POlicy with Iran states that the UNSC has passed four resolutions demanding that Iran stop enriching uranium....But Obama has said he would make such suspension a topic for discussion with Iran, rather than a precondition for any negotiations to take place.

Whats wrong with that?

The problem I have with your take on Iran is that Iran is allowed under the Non Proliferation Treaty to enrich for peaceful purposes, something that the Bush administration ignores. for the UNSC to pass a resolution that the can back up with sanctions that ignore the NPT is , in my opinion, a lot worse that face to face negotiation and diplomacy advocated by Obama . I think face to face talks are necessary to resolve the conflict. Sanctions don't work, negotiation and diplomacy may well do- even Russia has said that.

If congress want to persuade Iran to end enrichment there can be no hope for negotiations limited by such pre-conditions, which bush wants and Obama doesnt to the same extent.

I`d appreciate your comments on this.

G Ma in Michigan said...

Thank you Fr West! Your work is very well presented. I can't wait to share your blog with others. I feel like I am in a bad dream regarding this election. I can't help but compare Obama to Hitler. How can so many be falling for this guy? Are so many really that desperate for change. Maybe the change they need is to start valuing life. Liberals promise progress, but they are not making progress thru abortion, same sex marriage etc. They are regressing and turning more pagan. Real progress is made when children are valued and protected and loved. Real progress is made when everyone works for the common good and not just what they think is good for them.

Obama is even selling his people to the wolves. Does he not know that Margaret Sanger (spelling) the founder of Planned Parenthood was a racist of the worst kind. If she could convince black people that they would be better off by not having so many babies, she could get them to kill their own babies thru abortion. She has succeeded and he is helping her.

Thank you again for your great work!

Let me guess ... you delete or block the comments from all the evil, devil-worshiping, anti-Christ loving, sinners who disagree with you, right? God hates an opposing viewpoint, apparently. Of course, when God is on your side - as is so obviously the case here - there can be only one viewpoint. Let's hear it for hate and intolerance! Praise Jesus! (It's what He would do.)

Holy Rosary is the KEY to victory

has given new efficacy in the recitation of the Holy Rosary...
There is no problem, I tell you,
no matter how difficult it is, that
we cannot solve by the prayer of the Holy Rosary..." (given 12/1957)

Thank you for summing up these reasons. However, these are your personal reasons. And of course you can have your personal reasons, but you present them as universal reasons. I am clearly more liberal than you are, so I reviewed your list. Accepting all your statements as true, I found exactly fifty reasons to be against Obama. 36 facts that you give are reasons for me to vote for Obama. 51 facts were not about Obama, or only pro/against Obama if you accept some unproven theory, I gave them the label 'irrelevant', although that does not mean I think the issues are irrelevant.

The 36 reasons that we agree on might be universal reasons. All the other reasons do not really apply. Well, they do apply for persons that accept certain premises to be true, but they don't need reasons not to vote for Obama. The persons that are doubting whom to vote for, will not be convinced by this list, as it includes 87 'reasons' that might not be reasons for them. They are likely to not read the 36 good reasons.

According to the Alan Guttmacher Institute, which is the research arm of Planned Parenthood, there were 1.21 million unborn children killed by abortion in 2005. This is 3315 killings every day. This can not be compared to the war in Iraq,

The American military is not deliberately killing innocent people. The Iraqi government wants them there until the job is done to keep the peace.

An abortion is not successful unless an innocent child dies.

He just doesn't understand that it is the role of the president to work for the "Common Good". He is not a good leader! Makes you kinda wonder what he would not want us to intrude on in his most private family matters!

According to the Washington Post, President Obama issued a statement Jan. 22, 2009 reaffirming his support for a women's right to choose to end her pregnancy. His statement said, "Roe v Wade not only protects women's health and reproductive freedom, but stands for a broader principle: that government should not intrude on our most private family matters."
That principle doesn't hold water. We have laws against abusing your spouse or child, murdering your spouse or child, neglecting your spouse or child & raping your spouse or child. We MUST intrude even in the most private family matters when necessary to protect our citizens and work for the Common Good. Since when have we ever been allowed to do whatever we want to family members and use as our justification that government should not intrude on our most private family matters? I'm sorry, but I must say that our new president is feeding us a line of bull here and whenever he speaks about the abortion issue and it is our duty to call him out on it. "The care of Human Life... and not their destruction is the just and only legitimate object of Good Government." Thomas Jefferson
