Obama holds the record for lies being told!
Obama is either stupid, naive, or just has very bad judgment.
Do you really think that someone with any one of these detriments is qualified to occupy the most powerful position in the world?
Let’s not forget his 20 years of being mentored by “Wright the Racist”, a man who thinks AIDS was created by the white race to wipe out the black race. Obama denied on video tape that he knew Wright was a racist. He denied that he had never personally heard Wright make these inflammatory, and racist, statements. Obama then stated in his speech; “Have I ever heard Wright make these statements, yes”! He then went on, and tried to make us believe that all black churches are doing the same. We can add liar to the rest of his qualities!
Rezko/Obama…good friends!
1. In 1995, Obama began campaigning for a seat in the Illinois Senate. Among his earliest supporters: Rezko. Two Rezko companies donated a total of $2,000. Obama was elected in 1996 -- representing a district that included 11 of Rezko's 30 low-income housing projects.
2. Rezko's low-income housing empire began crumbling in 2001, when his company stopped making mortgage payments on the old nursing home that had been converted into apartments. The state foreclosed on the building -- which was in Obama's Illinois Senate district.
Now here is a man who knows what is going on in his Senate district. This is true representation of his constituents, and I will bet this type of “CHANGE” will be brought to the White House if he is president.
3. In 2003, Obama announced he was running for the U.S. Senate, and Rezko -- a member of his campaign finance committee -- held a lavish fund-raiser June 27, 2003, at his Wilmette mansion.
4. A few months after Obama became a U.S. senator, he and Rezko's wife, Rita, bought adjacent pieces of property from a doctor in Chicago's Kenwood neighborhood -- a deal which has dogged Obama the last two years. The doctor sold the mansion to Obama for $1.65 million -- $300,000 below the asking price. Rezko's wife paid full price -- $625,000 -- for the adjacent vacant lot. The deals closed in June 2005, on the same day. Six months later, Obama paid Rezko's wife $104,500 for a strip of her land, so he could have a bigger yard. At the time, it had been widely reported that Tony Rezko was under federal investigation. Questioned later about the timing of the Rezko deal, Obama called it "boneheaded" because people might think the Rezkos had done him a favor.
5. Eight months later -- in October 2006 -- Rezko was indicted on charges he solicited kickbacks from companies seeking state pension business under his friend Gov. Blagojevich. Federal prosecutors maintain that $10,000 from the alleged kickback scheme was donated to Obama's run for the U.S. Senate. Obama has given the money to charity.
