Who is Barack Obama?

Posted: Sunday, September 07, 2008

SIOUX CITY -- Who is Barack Obama? Is he the Chicago politico who worshipped in the Rev. Wright's hate-filled church for 20 years? Is he the "neighborhood organizer" who worked shoulder to shoulder with William Ayers, an unrepentant terrorist bomber of the 1960s? Is he the "vastly experienced" four-year senator from Illinois who continues to deny that the "surge" in Iraq has been a huge success? Is he the incredibly arrogant elitist who modeled his German speech after John Kennedy's memorable 1961 speech in Germany?

I don't know who he is. I do know he is no J.F.K. John Kennedy was a true American hero and a great president. For anyone to compare Obama to Kennedy is beyond laughable - it's criminal. -- James F. Clark

" All right...this wall has proven that both sides buy in to every single half-truth and outright lie spread through the internet, conservative talk pundits, and even the advertisements on each side of the campaign. You complain about politicians being corrupt, but you hurl insults at each other and don't know the facts...making this no better. Anyone who's actually met either candidate would know that both deserve better than they get here... "

Not an original thought of his own but taken directly from Move On and the Daily Kos "

" Keith said: "Christ was a community organizer, Pontius Pilate was a Governor". I say, fine, Keith. Let's let Governor Palin sentence Barrack
(the messiah) Hussein Obama to POLITICAL death. Great scenario, Keith. I got to hand it to you. "
