Interesting. But if he's not a member, why doesn't he just say he's not? Back when the presidential primary race was interesting and heated up, I
watched a debate, and someone actually asked Obama if he was a member of the CFR. I think it was the Youtube debates, but I'm not sure. He just
dodged the question, didn't say yes or no.
I remember that. He said he showed up gave a speech and talked to a few people. But that he wasn't "A card carrying member or anything."
If he were a member I wouldn't be supporting him. People have flung so many accusations at Barack Obama over everything that may imply something. But
when you dig deep enough, there just isn't anything there to make it some sort of conspiracy. I think he's where he is because of the people not
because of the establishment. I've noticed that no establishment figures have anything good to say about Obama, especially not the Neo-Cons. And they
have been the most responsible for all of the lies circulating about Obama.
He may not be perfect(None of these candidates are) but he's not some cartoonish evil-doer. He's been accused of brainwashing people into a trance
with his speeches. He's been accused of being a terrorist in disguise, accused of hating this country, accused of being an "elitist" when
everything this man has done can be traced. These people put this information out for one reason, it doesn't have to be true, they count on people
not doing the research in order to find out whether it is or not. They know people aren't going to call the CFR, they're not going to call his
Senate office and get documents, they're not going to go to the media to find out what was actually said. They stamp an official seal on it and let
the fireworks fly..That's why this campaign has been about gaffs and false accusations instead of real issues. Obama has not been able to address
some issues due to some of these false attacks. Hillary Clinton hasn't been addressing certain things because she's been busy creating this # storm.
And McCain is just sitting on the sidelines, peddling Bush ideologies, and watching the Democratic party separate at the seams.
Obama has gone up against the Clinton machine and beat them. Why? Because Obama attacked voting records and policy stances, and Hillary spread rumors
and attacked Obama's legitimacy as a person, an American person who has done alot in his short time in politics and public service.
But all of that gets pushed aside...Somehow Obama is being "treated like a star in the Media" when it is his campaign that has had to defend from
accusations ranging from secret muslim jihadist to anti-american racist.
Instead of creating a real debate, these idiot have created a divisive firestorm that shows the true colors of not just some citizens of the united
states, but large elements of the politically established as well.
