Can America really trust Barack Hussein Obama?

Keep Reading For A Sneak Preview Of Our Latest Expose Obama Commercial Which Poses the Question: "Was Barack Hussein Obama a Muslim. He says 'no,' but the Associated Press found records...."
But before we go any further... let's make one thing perfectly clear. It doesn't really matter whether Barack Hussein Obama WAS a Muslim or not!
What DOES matter is -- Can Barack Hussein Obama be trusted?
Is Barack Hussein Obama side-stepping questions about his Muslim childhood?
And if so... WHY?
Pivotal questions come to mind:
is there more information -- as of yet undisclosed -- that Obama thinks the American people would find repugnant?
if he is side-stepping questions, is it because he REALLY believes that the patriotic people of America are all GUN-TOTIN', BIBLE-THUMPIN' bigots and thus incapable of understanding the full-and-complete TRUTH?
and perhaps the most important question is, WHY DO the liberal media and other assorted Obamaniacs, scramble about and circle the wagons around Barack Hussein Obama EVERY SINGLE TIME QUESTIONS ABOUT HIM ARE RAISED?
That last question is already becoming the most important.
When we released this commercial to the media on Thursday morning, the liberal 'blogosphere' went crazy. Within hours, liberals had already put their smear-machine into overdrive. And within hours we received scores of profane (and in some cases outright menacing) calls on our answering machine.
What's the bottom line?
Simply put, LIBERALS DO NOT WANT THE AMERICAN PEOPLE TO SEE THIS COMMERCIAL!
THEY KNOW THIS COMMERCIAL WILL DO MAJOR DAMAGE TO BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA!
Please understand, the fact that you are reading this letter is an indication that, as a conservative and a patriot, you already know that BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA IS THE MOST DANGEROUS MAN IN AMERICA!
But the VAST MAJORITY of Americans are still spoon-fed news from the liberal media... a media which still holds a virtual monopoly on what most Americans read, see and hear... a media which has already shown itself to clearly be in Barack Hussein Obama's camp!
Is Obama Contradicting Himself When It Comes To His Upbringing?
At a January 15, 2008 debate, Obama said:
"In the Internet age, there are going to be lies that are spread all over the place. I have been victimized by these lies. Fortunately, the American people are, I think, smarter than folks give them credit for."
Of course lies have been around long before the Internet and unfortunately for Barack Hussein Obama, the American people ARE a lot smarter than he thinks!
On January 16, 2007, Insight Magazine published a story titled, "Hillary's team has questions about Obama's Muslim background."
The thrust of the Insight Magazine article is summed up in the lead paragraph: "Are the American people ready for an elected president who was educated in a Madrassa as a young boy and has not been forthcoming about his Muslim heritage?"
In response, the Obama campaign issued the following denial on January 23, 2007 which read:
"All of the claims about Senator Obama's faith and education raised in the Insight Magazine story and repeated on Fox News are false. Senator Obama was raised in a secular household in Indonesia by his stepfather and mother. Obama's stepfather worked for a U.S. oil company, and sent his stepson to two years of Catholic school, as well as two years of public school. "[Emphasis Mine]
But wait a minute! Twelve years earlier Obama stated in his book, "Dreams of My Father:"
"In Indonesia, I had spent two years at a Muslim school, two years at a Catholic school. In the Muslim school, the teacher wrote to tell my mother that I made faces during Koranic studies."[Emphasis Mine]
While the word "Madrassa" has taken on some rather negative connotations, it's simply the Arabic word for "school."
By his own admission, Obama did attend a "Muslim school" and as required he engaged in "Koranic studies."
So why the need to parse his words?
Again, it doesn't really matter whether Barack Hussein Obama WAS a Muslim or not. The important question is CAN WE TRUST HIM?
AND EVERY SINGLE TIME this commercial is seen, people of all political persuasions will ask that very legitimate question: CAN WE TRUST HIM?
That's why the Obamaniacs DON'T WANT YOU -- or anyone else for that matter -- TO SEE THIS COMMERCIAL! That's why they're circling the wagons and preparing for battle!
If At First You Don't Succeed, Parse, Parse Again.
Obama's campaign website very emphatically states: "OBAMA IS NOT AND HAS NEVER BEEN A MUSLIM."
Moreover, the January 23, 2007 denial quoted earlier also states:
"To be clear, Senator Obama has never been a Muslim, was not raised a Muslim."
Obama went even further while on the campaign trail at the Smoky Row Coffee Shop in Oskaloosa, Iowa:
"My mother was a Christian from Kansas, and they married and then divorced. I was raised by my mother. So, I've always been a Christian."
Of course, Obama's sister, Maya Soetoro, in a statement released by the Obama campaign said that Obama did in fact attend the Mosque with his family, "for big communal events not every Friday."
As for Obama's mother Stanley Ann Dunham being a Christian, Tim Jones of the Chicago Tribune attributes the following quote to Dunham's best friend in High School, Maxine Box:
"She touted herself as an atheist, and it was something she'd read about and could argue. She was always challenging and arguing and comparing. She was already thinking about things that the rest of us hadn't."
As for the statement that he's always been a Christian, Obama recounts in his book, "Dreams of my Father" that he was not baptized until 1988.
"I remained a reluctant skeptic, doubtful of my own motives, wary of expedient conversion, having too many quarrels with God to accept a salvation too easily won."
That leaves us with a lot of contradictory statements (or maybe that's what he really means by "CHANGE");
1) The campaign says he was not raised Muslim but he attended Mosque with his family -- how often we really don't know!
2) His mother was a Christian who, according to a close friend, touted herself as an Atheist!
3) He was always a Christian but was not baptized until 1988?
Maybe Obama is just confused? But if so, the question still remains, CAN WE TRUST HIM?
The media will continue to give Obama a free ride.
But you can ask the real questions and make a difference!
Is It A Media Conspiracy Or Just A Lot Of Sloppy Reporting?
Let's face facts. The liberal media rarely REPORTS anymore... mostly it just DISTORTS!
And when it comes to Barack Hussein Obama, the liberal media only saves the hard-nosed investigative reporting -- and editorializing -- for his detractors!
Jonathan Alter of Newsweek attacked the Insight Magazine article calling it a "Madrassa hoax," "grade-school innuendo" and "a pathetic little saga."
The Chicago Tribune used the term "Anatomy of a False Story?"
The Washington Post wrote disparaging terms such as "juvenile," "scurrilous" and "contemptible."
Of course, a couple of minor items in the Insight article were factually incorrect.
The amount of time Obama spent in a "Madrassa" was stated as four years instead of two years and Insight referred to the "Madrassa" as a "Muslim Seminary" (it would have been more accurate perhaps to simply refer to it as a Muslim grade-school that provided two hours of daily Koranic instruction).
The liberal media was quick to point out those minor discrepancies. Jonathan Alter, in particular, showed a sickening pro-Obama bias, editorializing and carelessly throwing out innuendos and outright fabrications.
Just one example:
"The subtext of the story was that Obama was some kind of Muslim Manchurian Candidate (or the Russian spy played by Kevin Costner in .No Way Out.) -- trained in an Indonesian religious school to be a jihadist who would do Al Qaeda's work from within."
One might wonder if Alter wasn't confused himself.
And in just about every single instance, the legitimate questions regarding Obama that were addressed by the Insight article went untouched and unacknowledged.
The liberal media isn't going to do the job! We'll have to do it for them!
The liberal media will only expose Obama's detractors. It's up to US to EXPOSE OBAMA!
