During the 2008 Presidential campaign Barack Obama told audiences, 'Judge me by the people with whom I surround myself.'
OK, we will.
And that is precisely the problem with Obama.
John Holdren,
Cass Sunstein,
Ezekiel Emanuel,
Van Jones
Mark Loyd, FCC 'diversity czar,'
And we thought Bill Ayres, Reverend Wright, Father Flager, Tony Rezko were bad influences....Obama actually pays the above mentioned people.
He asked us to judge him. I did.
[edit on 3-9-2009 by RRconservative]
What I would like to know is who did the background checks and did they let the President know about his choices. If he did know, the question is did he not thing, after the Rev Wright incident that it would not have a negative effect on him?
Obama's adminstration is going down the tubes, I am wondering till the outcry is to the point where he is going to be impeached, or recalled by the general populace.
The other question I have, is when did public office become such a coveted position. Most of the Early presidents did not want to be in office, nor did the senators or represenatives. Maybe the next person elected to those office, it should be a qualification, as well as running and hidding after they get out of office.
"Damn the country, Obama must fail"

How else can you judge a person who has sealed all records pertaining to his past?
If you hung around nazi's all day, then got upset because you were called a nazi, uh, what were you expecting?
S&F for a reasonable, well researched post.
Nice job.

The author of the article forgot to add Micheal Taylor - food czar. Former Monsanto Executive.
“Recently there have been increased calls for the development of a U.S. or international grain reserve to provide priority access to food supplies for Humanitarian needs. The National Grain and Feed Association (NGFA) and the North American Export Grain Association (NAEGA) strongly advise against this concept” July 22, 2008 letter to President Bush www.naega.org...
“In summary, we have record low grain inventories globally as we move into a new crop year. We have demand growing strongly. Which means that going forward even small crop failures are going to drive grain prices to record levels. As an investor, we continue to find these long term trends..very attractive.” Food shortfalls predicted: 2008 www.financialsense.com...

I fear for the future of this republic. Democracy has killed it. It is corroding into communism and I don't see an easy way to avoid it.
On May 23, 1933, Congressman, Louis T. McFadden, brought formal charges against the Board of Governors of the Federal Reserve Bank system, The Comptroller of the Currency and the Secretary of United States Treasury for numerous criminal acts, including but not limited to, CONSPIRACY, FRAUD, UNLAWFUL CONVERSION, AND TREASON. The petition for Articles of Impeachment was thereafter referred to the Judiciary Committee and has YET TO BE ACTED ON. www.maxexchange.com...
On June 4, 1963, a virtually unknown Presidential decree, Executive Order 11110, was signed with the authority to basically strip the Federal Reserve Bank of its power to loan money to the United States Federal Government at interest. With the stroke of a pen, President Kennedy declared that the privately owned Federal Reserve Bank would soon be out of business. The Christian Law Fellowship has exhaustively researched this matter through the Federal Register and Library of Congress. We can now safely conclude that this Executive Order has never been repealed, amended, or superceded by any subsequent Executive Order. In simple terms, it is still valid. www.john-f-kennedy.net...
According to Congressional Record for 1917: "...the J.P. Morgan [banking] interests.... and their subsidiary organizations got together 12 men high up in the newspaper world and employed them to select the most influential newspapers in the United States and sufficient number of them to control generally the policy of the daily press of the US.... They found it was only necessary to purchase the control of 25 of the greatest papers. ...an editor was furnished for each paper to properly supervise and edit information...." Congressman Oscar Callaway statements included in the Congressional Record (vol. 54, February 9, 1917, p. 2947). www.crossroad.to...
They gave large amounts of money to some of the better known universities in America; they created newly formed departments of economics with that money; they hand picked their own people to be the professors to head up those departments and then those professors with all of their academic credentials gave speeches and wrote scholarly essays extolling the virtues of the Federal Reserve System. And then at the insistence of Paul Warburg who was forever the master strategist, they added several very sound provisions to the Federal Reserve Bill. ...
"Relax fellas, don't you get it? Our object is to get the bill passed. We can fix it up later." Those were his exact words. "We can fix it up later."
.... Bryan was concerned that this would be an instrument for ruining the nation's money supply but when he saw those provisions he said, "Oh well, those are good provisions, I guess I can support the bill now" never dreaming that this was temporary. Everything is temporary in politics. When people go to sleep things can get changed.

The whole left and right argument just isn't that simple any more. Plus, I'd like to add that people who believe in the communist way, are not bad people....
From the Bank of England forward all the governments of Europe had central banks for a very good reason. The kings and princes of Europe had learned from hard experience that they could raise the taxes of their subjects only so high and then they had a revolt on their hands and they tended to lose their jobs (and heads). It appears that that natural level was about 40-43%; people will tolerate taxes up to about 40-43% and then they start digging in their heels and they just won't allow it to go any further. But with the central bank mechanism in place the lid was off. Now these governments could tax their people 50%, 60%, 70% and in some cases 80% of everything they produced and they did not have a revolt on their hands. They did not have resentment because the people didn't know that they were paying a tax. They knew that prices were going up, but they didn't understand why, they didn't know who was getting their lost purchasing power. www.bigeye.com...
