Obama’s Inexperience Tough to Ignore

A close look at Barack Obama’s career reveals it has been even more mediocre than generally recognized. Before being elected to the Illinois state Senate, Obama worked as a community organizer and a lawyer in Chicago. In his memoir, Obama says being a community organizer taught him how to motivate the powerless and work the government to help them. His chief example is an effort to remove asbestos from Altgeld Gardens, an all-black public housing project on Chicago’s South Side. But those who were involved in the effort say Obama played a minor role in working the problem and never accomplished his goal. A pre-existing group at Altgeld Gardens and a local newspaper, the Chicago Reporter, were working on the problem before Obama came on the scene, yet Obama does not mention them in his book, “Dreams From My Father: A Story of Race and Inheritance.” “Just because someone writes it, doesn’t make it true,” says Altgeld resident Hazel |
Obama’s Poor English Lesson
Posted by True Obama Facts on 11 Jul 2008 | Tagged as: Barack Obama
By Bruce Walker at American Thinker:
Barack Obama has questioned, implicitly, the value of English as a primary language. Why shouldn’t the rest of us learn to speak Spanish? What is so “special” about English?
Pandering to Hispanic voters is at the heart of this latest swerve in Obama’s insubstantial campaign, but picking on English is a very silly and very dangerous tactic towards a vital national and international issue.
Obama himself is the best argument for a black in America learning to master English. The candidate speaks English perfectly and that has made him the first viable black presidential candidate. If he spoke English like most inner city blacks, then — unfairly perhaps — millions of whites would have privately dismissed him as not up to the job of president. It is profoundly selfish of him to profit from his excellent English, and then to suggest that young Hispanics and other immigrants who have difficulty with English remain in their linguistic ghetto.
What should Obama be saying instead? How about something like this: “I was blessed to be raised in a home in which good English in a vernacular easily understood was normal. My ability to communicate in English well was not something that I had to work had to achieve, but it was something that opened many doors to me that would otherwise be closed to a young black man. If you want to succeed in America, just as Italians, Japanese, Jews, Greeks and so many other minorities have done, master English.”
Obama is also dead wrong in pretending that English is “just another language” and that insisting Americans speak, read and write English is some sort of ethnic bias. English, instead, is the great unifier of mankind. Three of the eight members of the G8 — America, Britain and Canada — are English-speaking. India, the largest democracy in the world, uses English as its principal administrative language. Australia, which along with India is set to be one of the next nations admitted to the G8 group, is English-speaking too.

Forgery Revealed in Kos Publication of Obama ‘Birth Certificate’ (updated)
Posted by True Obama Facts on 05 Jul 2008 | Tagged as: Barack Obama
This is an issue that isn’t going away for the Obama campaign and unless they address it in an effort to put it to bed, it will become one of those “distractions” the candidate really hates:
Sphere: Related ContentA few weeks ago, a diary entry at Daily Kos published several documents purporting to be Obama’s birth certificate. One of those documents is now a confirmed forgery, ferreted out by the website Israeli Insider:
Jay McKinnon, a self-described Department of Homeland Security-trained document specialist, has implicated himself in the production of fake Hawaii birth certificate images similar to the one endorsed as genuine by the Barack Obama campaign, and appearing on the same Daily Kos blog entry where the supposedly authentic document appears.
The evidence of forgery and manipulation of images of official documents, triggered by Israel Insider’s revelation of the collection of Hawaii birth certificate images on the Photobucket site and the diligent detective work of independent investigative journalists (led by JimJ and Texas Darling) and imaging professionals such as Polarik in the
