VOTERS are concerned why CNN &amp;amp; MSNBC refuse to question those relationships, coupled with Obama’s 20 plus yrs with Rev. Wright shows a serious pattern, which Obama seems quite comfortable with people who really, really, really HATE U.S of America. If you question him or his values or policies, you’re part of the “divisive, distracting” practices voters associate with Washington. Them’s the Obama Rules. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.dontvoteobama.net"&gt;http://www.dontvoteobama.net&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Obama’s chief political adviser David Alexrod on National Public Radio claimed white working class Democrats barely exist and hardly matter, white working class has gone to the Republican nominee for many elections, This is not new, WE don’t need or rely solely on those votes.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Obama wants to impose 20% tax on cost of Barrel Of Oil Above $80 which again drives up Cost Of Gasoline On Americans! why doesn’t Obama Acknowledge Fuel Costs For Truckers Hurt The American Consumer? Increasing Cost Of Everything Including Food, Retail, And Manufactured Goods.&lt;br&gt; &lt;br&gt;Obama Claims That He Does Not Accept Contributions From Federal Lobbyists, records show he has accepted $128,000 From Lobbyists and $1.3 million from PACs, according to the Center for Responsive Politics.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Obama calls For Higher Income Taxes, Social Security Taxes, Investment Taxes, And Corporate Taxes, As Well As &amp;quot;Massive New Domestic Spending and a healthcare plan that perhaps could be the next step to a full-scale, single-payer system.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Obama Pandered To MoveOn.org By Promising Not To Fund Troops In Iraq In The Future. &amp;quot;Eli Pariser, [MoveOn.org's] Executive Director, told ABC news but Obamas senate record shows he voted against bringing troops home, voted for war appropriations giving our money to Halliburton and Blackwater, voted with Bush/Chaney posturing S433 to suspend any troop withdrawal which keeps the troops in Iraq for a long time to come.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Obama won the endorsement of the Teamsters earlier this year after privately telling the union he supported ending the strict federal oversight imposed to root out corruption.&lt;br&gt;Obama Said The U.S. Needs To Focus On Afghanistan, Obama has held Zero hearings as Chairman Of The Subcommittee On European Affairs. &amp;quot;Doubts about Barack Obama's presidential credentials have crystallized over his stewardship of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee's Subcommittee on European Affairs, which has convened no policy hearings since he took over as its chairman last January.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Obama inconsistent explaining how Genocide in Iraq would affect his plan for withdrawal: Ambassador Crocker said that a quick withdrawal of U.S. troops from Iraq could result in genocide and if that began to emerge as an issue, would you stop the withdrawal?&amp;quot; Obama: of course. Obama Previously Said Preventing Genocide Would Not Be A Sufficient Reason To Remain In Iraq. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Why Is Barack Obama Silent On SEIU Attacks After Denouncing Similar Independent Expenditures Earlier In The Primaries? Labor Unions And Other Independent Groups Have Already Spent Over $7.1 Million In Support Of Obama's Campaign for the presidential nomination, campaign records show.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Obama's racial stereotype of the 'typical White person' and his view of the 'typical small town person.quoted as disparaging residents of small towns in Pennsylvania as being “like a lot of small towns in the Midwest” where “it's not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren't like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Obama is unapologetic, even dissing of voters in Florida and Michigan one has to wonder what groups of Americans he really respects?&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Racist wife, Michelle, saying she was proud of America &amp;quot;for the first time&amp;quot; only because of her husband's presidential run. &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Obama explained he doesn't wear an American flag lapel pin or hold his hands to his heart during the Pledge of Allegiance because it is a substitute for patriotism, &lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Obama loses to Hillary Clinton in a face to face debate in Phil, next day gives her the finger behind her back in a speech in NC. What a man! And the Obama fans were laughing with him, reminding me of the congregation in Reverend Wright's church cheering and patting him on the back during his racist sermons&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;a rel="nofollow" target="_new" href="http://www.theproblemwithobama.com/"&gt;http://www.theproblemwithobama.com/&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;</description></item><item><title>Obama: When (ex-)dictators attack</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/05/27/1066354.aspx#1066995</link><pubDate>Tue, 27 May 2008 15:38:00 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1066995</guid><dc:creator>Phenix, Vicksburg, MS</dc:creator><description>Obama is right about Cuba.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;Cuba could be another facet to the energy problems of the USA. &amp;nbsp;Cuba's potential for biofuels alone is outstanding.&lt;br&gt;It's a win for US people and Cuban people especially their farmers.</description></item><item><title>Obama: When (ex-)dictators attack</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/05/27/1066354.aspx#1067075</link><pubDate>Tue, 27 May 2008 15:52:08 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1067075</guid><dc:creator>Tom, Dallas, TX</dc:creator><description>The real truth is. &amp;nbsp;All I ever hear from the Obama supporters and the Obama campaign is &amp;quot;Hire the black dude, he's cool!&amp;quot;. &amp;nbsp;Well, that's not going to cut in here. &amp;nbsp;I think we should hire the smart person, but nobody wants to face the truth around the U.S.</description></item><item><title>Obama: When (ex-)dictators attack</title><link>http://firstread.msnbc.msn.com/archive/2008/05/27/1066354.aspx#1067116</link><pubDate>Tue, 27 May 2008 16:01:44 GMT</pubDate><guid isPermaLink="false">8a5d2dbc-a0e4-4c7a-979f-3188051f228e:1067116</guid><dc:creator>Really </dc:creator><description>sotiredofignorance:&lt;br&gt;How is Obama like Chamberlain? &amp;nbsp;Obama is weak just like chamberlain.&lt;br&gt;&lt;br&gt;What did Chamberlain do in WW2?
