                                                         Election Notes on the Press

    The election is in three days, but the results are in.  The media- the national established media-
have abdicated any semblance of professionalism.  This cannot be said
absolutely on a regional or
local level.  There are many stories out there from local papers asking questions and doing their jobs
in an outstanding manner.  However, unless you have a good news aggregator you are not going to
find those stories on the web. Unless you are lucky enough to be located in the town where an
honest paper publishes, you are out of luck.  
    The press coverage of the presidential campaign has been what one would have expected from
the Soviet era Pravda, not a free an independent American press. You have no need to look further
than the presidential election.   
   The press has not shown the least interest in vetting Senator Barak Obama the same way they
were not interested in looking into Senator Kerry’s questionable, possibly treasonous Vietnam era
behavior. The press has not made any effort at all to look into the most unknown candidate ever to
run for the highest office in the land.
 Here are a few questions that should have been looked into or given more research:

    The Obama birth certificate:  Widely dismissed out of hand there are real questions about the
truth of where Barak Obama was born.  Why was this dismissed? The fact John McCain was born in
the Panama Canal Zone received scrutiny and press time but nothing for Senator Obama.  Therein is
where the mystery lies.  His Kenyan relatives have stated he was born in Kenya.  That would make
him ineligible to be president.  A Democrat lawyer filed a lawsuit in court to determine the senator’s
qualification to be president but it was thrown out for lack of standing.  In other words, what right
does an individual citizen have to question the qualifications of his president?  
      What is known is that Senator Obama has made two trips to see his grandmother. Both times it
didn't appear his wife and children went up to see her, just Barak.  That is exceedingly strange.
Would you consider that normal in your family?
 The visits coincide with a first COLB (Certificate of Live Birth) which is different than a birth
certificate. Posted on the Obama campaign site Fight the Smears, it was most likely a forgery and has
been reported by the Internet folks as belonging to his half sister.
  The second visit, announced with endless drama was the compassionate rushing to his
grandmother’s side as she is failing in health. However, it took three days of ‘rushing’ to finally go,
and then only after she was already out of the hospital.  When the good Senator comes back the
liberal Republican governor of Hawaii seals his birth records.  You haven’t heard about grandma
again, have you? She seems to have dropped off the radar screens again.  Who is taking care of her
and how much is Barak involved with her.  Described as the cornerstone for his family there is an
odd distance between them.  You begin to wonder if the flap about the birth certificate is an Internet
hoax or the biggest hoax of all time.
    Senator Obama’s home town paper, the Chicago Tribune, sued to open the divorce records of his
opponent in the Senate race causing his opponent to drop out. This is how Obama got to the U.S.
Senate in the first place. He didn't win because of his accomplishments. He won because of the
targeted destruction of his opponent by the press.  Have you noticed no one on the Tribune has
bothered to sue to find out the truth about his birth certificate or his place of birth?  Doesn't that tell
you the Tribune has forfeited any credibility as an impartial member of the press? How can you trust
them on any other issue knowing they are crooked on this?  
  
Questions on the Birth:
    1.  If Obama was born in Hawaii who was the doctor? What hospital? What was the address
mom and dad were living at, at the time? Who were the neighbors?  What do they remember? Were
the billing records of the time in question? When did Senator Obama get his shots? His checkups?
His Social Security Number?
   2.  What does grandma say? She should know. The Kenyan relatives say Barak Obama was born
in Kenya. Was grandmother at the hospital in Hawaii? Did she baby sit her grandson when he was
days, weeks, months old?
    3.  If there is proof that Obama was born in Hawaii, why didn't anyone come forward?  Why did
the DNC and the Obama campaign not respond to the Berg lawsuit with the birth certificate instead
of seeking to suppress the suit by fighting the standing of the attorney?
    4.  When did the Obama’s leave the country? When did they come back?  What do their
passports say?  They must have had them, if they left the country.
    5.  The COLB presented isn’t the original. It is a laser copy of unknown validity.  Very likely the
document is fake as otherwise there would have been no problems with producing the original.  
Instead they are sealed.
    6.  Was the certificate of birth given for a baby born in Hawaii or a baby born outside the US and
given a Hawaiian birth certificate when the parents returned to the states?

    
The Young Childhood of Obama:  The press is incurious to the youth of the next potential
president.  He seems to have had a troubled childhood.  Divorced parents, the mother remarrying an
Indonesian and moving with Barak to Indonesia, then Barak being sent to Hawaii to be raised by the
grandparents, this isn't the pattern of stable behavior. How badly messed up was the senator’s
mother?  How messed up did she make the senator?  What else happened to him?
    
Questions about his childhood years:
    1.  How much impact did his unstable home life have on his development?
    2.  How often did Barak see his mother throughout his childhood?
    3.  How radical was his mother? Was she anti-American like so many modern leftists? Was she a
free spirit?  Was she troubled? What did her associates say?
    4.  Grandmother and grandpa chose Frank Marshall Davis as Barak’s mentor.  Did they really?
Did they purposely choose a member of the Communist Party and possible sex pervert to mentor a
child from a broken home?  How did that relationship generate?
    5.  How did Barak do academically and socially in school in his time in Hawaii?  This isn't a
fishing expedition question.  By his own admission by the time he reached college he was smoking
dope and using cocaine. When did he start using and was this an indication of personal problems?

    The College Years:  More and more there should be ways of tracking the actions of our next
president.  Yet we know less and less unless it is from the senator himself.  What we do know is he
sought out leftists, Marxists, radicals and ‘institutional feminists’ for his friends.  This is also where
he mentions the drug usage.
 
Questions of his life as a young adult:
    1.  How did he do in college?
    2.  Did he write anything of merit?
    3.  There was a flap about Kerry and Bush in the 2004 election about their grades. However it
was disappointing to many that Bush actually did better in college that Kerry did.  It troubled the
press because it didn't fit in with their preconceived ideas.
    4.  Did he have any girlfriends at the time? What do they say?  The reason for asking is the
earlier question about Frank Davis and the future allegation of Larry Sinclair.
    5.  How did Obama become the Editor of the Harvard Law Review? Did he write a single
memorable thing?
    6.  Did Obama consort with radical Marxists? Did he join the radical left of academia where he
likely was introduced to such stellar figures of communism such as Bill Ayers? Or friends of Bill
Ayers?

Post College/pre state Senate:  As we come closer to the present we know less about the potential
president, not more. It is almost as if a cloud descends and we lose sight of the man.  How is this
possible with a free society?  This is where he meets Bill Ayers, marries, sits in Reverend Wright's
racist church, and becomes a 'community organizer.'  It is looking like the man most likely to be our
next elected leader will be a complete blank slate.
   
 Questions as his activities as a young urban professional:
    1.  How did he get involved with Ayers? How did an unknown with no known writing ability get
a six figure book advance from a national publisher?
    2.  When did Obama become involved with Reverend Wright? How deeply in the racial hatred
did he stew? Mrs. Obama seems as deeply imbued with racism as the good reverend. How much do
her views affect his? Is there evidence of this deep seated racism in speeches, writings, and
audio/visual recordings?
    3.  What does a ‘community organizer’ do? How do they get paid? Who pays them?
    4.  What was his track record as a community organizer? Did he ever succeed in helping anyone?
    5.  Who were the people he was associating with at this time?  In college he said he sought out
radicals, communists, and institutional feminists.  Has he ever stopped?   Bill Ayers would give a
good indication he hasn't.


    Enough. You can see where this is going.  We are on the verge of electing the most unknown
person ever in American history to lead this nation.  The press should have been the ones to vet
him.  They didn't.  They were too busy getting him elected.  On Tuesday the country will have its
say.  But people are either uninformed or misinformed by the very people the Constitution gave
special power to: the press.  
    Had the press been honest, and vetted him honestly, no one could complain if the American
people choose Senator Obama to be president.  But they didn't vet him at all. That point can’t be
emphasized enough.  Regardless who wins on Tuesday, it was the press who disgraced themselves
and forfeited any honor and integrity they once possessed.  Who is the man who would be in charge
of the free world?
    Will the country pay for it?
