Is Obama's background faked?

[Flea_Bit_Monkey]

I was reading an aritcle on Obama and saw this:

Many of his classmates don't remember Obama. He's not in the yearbook. Columbia couldn't find a picture of him at school.

Hmmm, maybe he faked his degree? This bears more looking into...


Edit- the article:

I don't think it's faked. People remember him, just because he didn't bother to get into the year book doesn't mean he wasn't there. It just means he isn't in the year book. Lots of people just skip those things, ceremonies, year books, and other traditions that don't mean much to them.

[Flea_Bit_Monkey]

Do people remember him? I mean he could have gone to my college for I know, maybe someone looked like him there as well.

It's all too suspicious, GWB has pictures from college, where are Obama's? What's he hiding?

[Viper2]

I agree with Professor. I had a couple of friends in my senior class who didn't have their pictures in the yearbook. So, it is an insignificant piece of trivia, and IMHO, has nothing to do with his politics.

However, consider the following, if you would:

Barack "blank" Obama: A radical masquerading as a moderate
By Ben Shapiro
Wednesday, November 22, 2006

Senator Barack Obama's (D-Ill) platform is his politics of "understanding." Obama has been careful not to define the issues upon which he runs; rather, he explains that it is time to "move forward," to discard "ideology," to reach a new "common ground" built on an "understanding" of broad-based values. Of course, this is pure Grade A pap, since Obama fails to define those values, except in broad generalities. Yes, he's for the flag (but not against burning it -- he voted against the flag-protection amendment), motherhood (as long as taxpayers foot the bill for daycare and abortion on demand remains legal) and apple pie (he has not had to vote on apple pie). But where does he stand?

Obama is a liberal, and a rather radical liberal at that. According to Obama's new best seller, "The Audacity of Hope," Obama hates Ronald Reagan: He was "disturbed by Ronald Reagan's election in 1980 unconvinced by his John Wayne, "Father Knows Best" pose, his policy by anecdote, and his gratuitous assaults on the poor." (31)
He loves Jimmy Carter: "a Democrat who -- with his emphasis on human rights -- seemed prepared to once again align moral concerns with a strong defense." (288)

I never had my picture taken for my yearbook. I just assumed that the yearbook was only there for the popular kids who wanted to remember it.

[Flea_Bit_Monkey]

There are pictures of me everywhere I went. Most have me holding a board with a number on it though...

[CheesyMuslim]

Sorry bout that,

1. But I feel this guys a fake.
2. But I would wouldn't I?
3. I think he faked everything from the 10th grade.
4. And he's so good at faking it, he might feel he can fake his way into the White House.
5. But I don't think he's that good a fake.
6. The dirt on Obama will come out, a little at a time.
7. This dude is going down in flames.

Obama's an idiot being used by the Democrats to woo white voters.

[ECW]

The only thing that is fake here is the neocon outrage at a guy that kept his head down. Being multi-racial in a society that wasn't too tolerant of that kind of thing 30 years ago was a tricky thing. So he wasn't class president and he wasn't a cheerleader. Big whoop-tee-doo.

Is this all you got on him? Is this it? It ain't much and it's certainly not enough to be more than a gnat in the rainforest.

Osama can't even tell the truth about small, minor details about his life. Sorry, he's too much of a weasel for my tastes.

Care to state what "minor" details he's lying about?

As for faked, I seriously doubt it. It would have already been found out when he was running for senator. When running for congress, senator, or the presidency the dirt finders will find that skeleton in your closet no matter how hard you try to hide it and they couldn't with him.

This is a non-issue IMO to try to make dirt stick to someone by accusation only.

LOL.

He's already admitted to doing drugs experimentally. I think he took all the skeletons out of his own closet.

[johnnyroger]

I would trust someone more who nobody heard of in high school. The dangerous ones stick in everyone's head.

[Stoner]

I used to experiment with drugs. Now I do research.

You're have a fake background, too.

Tisk, tisk, tisk, touchy aren't we ?? What's the matter ?? Unable to accept critisism of a junior Senator who is still wet behind the ears ??

I would have to agree.

Why is Obama's Evil in Rick Warren's Pulpit?
By Kevin McCullough
Sunday, November 19, 2006

Rick Warren, the best selling author of The Purpose Driven Life and senior teaching pastor at Saddleback Church in California, has invited Barack Obama to speak to the congregation of the faithful on December 1, 2006. In doing so he has joined himself with one of the smoothest politicians of our times, and also one whose wickedness in worldview contradicts nearly every tenant of the Christian faith that Warren professes.

So the question is, "why?"

Why would Warren marry the moral equivalency of his pulpit - a sacred place of honor in evangelical tradition - to the inhumane, sick, and sinister evil that Obama has worked for as a legislator?

IMHO, there are more skeletons rattleing arounf that will eventually come out as HillBill gets more into the race.

Interesting statement - ever hear the old statement "Still waters run deep" ???

[Elrathin]

IMHO, there are more skeletons rattleing arounf that will eventually come out as HillBill gets more into the race.


And that is the biggest problems with politics in general. People are more concerned with what someone did in their youth, than what they can and are doing now.

That is true, especially when someone is relatively new, or is running for President, etc.

However, as you said "than what they can and are doing now"
amd that problem looms greatly in the US as too many voters neglect to actually view the "voting" records of many candidates who have been in office for 2, 3 or more terms.

Case in point - I started a thread concerning high profile Democrats voting records on Immigration / Illegal Alliens. I listed the records of a number, but then just listed the site and name of the person in the remaining posts. A careful and analytical analysis of each of these Congressional member's voting will reveal that they are more inclined to give Illegal Aliens more rights and priveleges than American citizens.

"More rights and privileges than American citizens?" Oh, come on, Viper. A statement like that calls for serious proof--and not just a bunch of cut&paste urls, as seems to be your usual practice. I want you to quote concise statements from these democrats that show...no, prove what you mean. You see to think that blitzing the Forum with dozens of posts equates to quality statements. It does not!

While you're at it, you might take the trouble to look at the records of the friends of the industries that make great use of undocumented immigrants: I suspect that most of them will be republicans. Or are you so partisan that you think this is only a democratic thing? We wouldn't have the immense flow of immigrants if there weren't jobs here for them. But how often are the employers of these immigrants held accountable? How come the executives never wind up in jail? Could it possibly have something to do with their large contributions to the GOP?

The problem of uncontrolled immigration into the US is an international one, and simplistic solutions like building walls or shooting immigrants will only breed worse problems. Why should employers hire citizens when they can pay immigrants less, and not have to pay FICA taxes as well? I think you've taken off on this problem with the misconception that democrats are the bad guys here. I grew up in South Texas, where most of the farm laborers were "wetbacks." Note to mods: I know you dinged me for using this term before, but in this case, it was literally true. We lived so close to the Rio Grande that many of the workers actually came in with damp clothes. But if you want to ding a liberal for being politically incorrect, go right ahead. The farmers hired them because (they said), the natives wouldn't work so cheaply. All those farmers were republicans, even back in the 40s, when I was growing up.

Anyone who thinks immigration is a new problem hasn't been paying attention. It's been going on for my entire life, and every few years we have a little "reform" to satisfy the "malcontents." Then the employers go back to hiring the cheapest labor they can get--{b]and leaning on their elected reps to find ways to do it.[/b][/color]

[ECW]

If every owner that hired an illegal immigrant got arrested along with the immigrants, there would be an uproar that would propel even the most avid rightwinger to demand a solution. That won't happen for the very reason that Buck said: they would be arresting Republicans. Oh, the horror!

I don't really see how this has anything to do with the bogus assertion that Obama somehow faked his background. Oh, well.

[CheesyMuslim]

Sorry bout that,

1. But, * B. Hussien O. *Â*Â*is hiding something even dirtier, we shall soon find it out.
2. And we will see the Liberals forgive him, just like that dude down in New Orleans who took 100k in bribe money, and stored the cash in his cold cash safe, his freezer.
3. Is B.H.O. involved with a terrorist group?
4. He certainly has the name for it.
