Below is a good list of reasons not to vote for Barack Obama. They are
not listed in order of importance. I list the life issues, which I
think are primary, toward the end. Some of the reasons are obviously
more important than others. There are probably some things that should
be on the list that I haven’t thought of. Some of the items reflect my
opinions, but I have tried to document the facts on the list with
links to credible news organizations and independent fact check
organizations. To make a comment contact me at FrPeter16@cs.com

Obama claims to not accept oil money, but in fact he has accepted more

between $50,000 and $100,000 for him:

Barack Obama Has Been Less Than Honest With the American Public
Senator Barack H. Obama Jr. repeatedly refused to provide any
responses to citizens on the issues through the 2008 Political Courage
Test when asked to do so by national leaders of the political parties,
prominent members of the media, Project Vote Smart President Richard
Kimball, and Project Vote Smart staff:

Obama has implied that his father was a poor goat-herder. In fact,
Obama’s father was the privileged son of wealthy landowners:

Obama has suggested that people who don’t support him are racists:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?
Barack Obama’s religious beliefs are not a good reason to vote against
him, but failure to be honest about them is. Why can’t he tell us the
truth? His mother was raised by non-practicing Christians; his father
was raised a Muslim, but was an atheist by the time he had married
Obama's mother. Obama's step-father was also Muslim, but of an
eclectic kind who could make room for animist and Hindu beliefs. The
Left apparently felt that Mitt Romney’s religious beliefs were a
legitimate issue in the campaign. Why the double standard when it
comes to Obama?

Here's a lot more about how Obama is being treated as a messiah:
http://obamamessiah.blogspot.
Barack Obama Lacks Experience
Obama spent 143 days in the Senate before he started running for
President: http://tampa.craigslist.org/
Obama has never authored a piece of major legislation.
Obama has no executive experience. He has never run a business or done
a pay roll etc..
He himself has admitted that he does not have the experience to be the
President of the United States:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?
His running mate Senator Biden charged that Obama lacked the
experience to be President: http://www.youtube.com/watch?
Without a teleprompter Obama is hesitant and confused:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?
Here is Obama claiming he’s visited 57 States:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?
Barack Obama’s Alliances are Highly Questionable
His wife Michelle charged that America was a mean country and said
that for the first time in her adult lifetime she is proud of her
country because of her husband’s campaign:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?
His long time friend and mentor is Rev. Jeremiah Wright formerly the
Pastor Trinity Church who said instead of God bless America, we should
say God damn America: http://www.youtube.com/watch?
Another mentor of Obama's is Khalid Al-Mansour. Khalid Al-Mansour is a
racist and an anti-Semite.
Obama claimed he never heard anti-American, anti-White speeches at his
church; his own autobiography indicates he did and as he later
admitted under pressure:
http://sweetness-light.com/
Obama is a friend of Father Michael Phleger a radical Catholic priest
who has honored Louis Farrakhan at his Church:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?
Barack Obama is a friend of former members of the radical Weather
Underground terrorist organization William Ayers and his wife
Bernardine Dohrn. They were responsible for several bombings between
1970 and 1974 the Pentagon, the Capitol and a police station in San
Francisco. Ayers is quoted in the New York Times on September 11, 2001
as saying "I don't regret setting bombs...I feel we didn't do enough."
Ayers helped Obama launch his Illinois State Senate career, held a
fund raiser for him and the two served on the board of the Woods Fund
together : http://www.youtube.com/watch?
Obama while serving on the board of the Woods Fund with Bill Ayers
gave money to an Arab group that calls the establishment of Israel a
"catastrophe". Rashid Khalidi is the co-founder of this group. He is a
Columbia University professor and has condoned terrorist tactics by
Palestinian organizations. Rashid Khalidi held a fundraiser for Obama:
http://www.blogger.com/post-
The Los Angeles Times is currently suppressing a video of Obama
praising Rashid Khalidi:
http://article.nationalreview.
Obama helped to organize the Million Man March in 1995 sponsored by
the racist and anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan:
http://gatewaypundit.blogspot.
Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam support Obama for President:
http://www.newsmax.com/
Obama has had a long and close association with the radical group
ACORN which has been tied to voter fraud in several states and the
sub-prime mortgage crisis:
Obama claims not to take money from Washington lobbyists, but he takes
money from lobbyists' spouses and holds fundraisers at the offices of
law firms that lobby Congress. He happily accepts huge amounts of
money from executives of big oil and drug companies and many others.
In fact, he's relying on two oil company executives to raise $50,000
apiece for his campaign:
http://blogs.usatoday.com/
Tony Rezko is a convicted criminal and long time friend and
fund-raiser for Obama. Rezko was indicted last fall on federal charges
that accuse him of demanding kickbacks from companies seeking state
business. Obama claimed Rezko donated only $50,000 to him. Later,
under pressure, he revealed Rezko raised more than twice that amount
and also sat on his fundraising committee. When asked about his
friend, Obama said, “I’ve never done any favors for him.” But evidence
proved Obama had written letters to city and state officials praising
Rezko’s business practices. Obama helped steer 14 million tax dollars
to him: http://www.suntimes.com/news/
Tony Rezko helped to buy Obama’s house:

His running mate Joe Biden has the third most liberal voting record in

after he admitted to plagiarism in law school and in some of his
speeches: http://www.americanthinker.
Barack Obama campaigned for Raila Odinga, a radical Kenyan Marxist
thug: http://jewagainstobama.
Obama has said in speeches “we are our brother’s keeper”. But his

Barack Obama Advocates a Dangerous Foreign Policy
The world is still a dangerous place and Barack Obama has no Foreign
Policy no foreign policy experience. Rogue nations perceive Obama as
weak. Weakness invites attack. Perhaps China will invade Taiwan. Maybe
Iran will attack Israel or Russia will invade the Ukraine. Maybe
Venezuela will stir up trouble in the Caribbean.
Even his running mate Senator Joe Biden admits that the rookie
President will be tested in the first six months in Office.
Biden Slammed Obama for Voting Against Funding theTroops:
http://www.usatoday.com/news/
Barack Obama falsely accused American soldiers of "air raiding
villages and killing civilians.":

Obama said he would have been against the surge in Iraq anyway, even
though he admits it has succeeded beyond our wildest dreams:

Obama is constantly changing his position about when troops will be
withdrawn from Iraq. Sometimes he favors a precipitous withdrawal. At
other times he says conditions on the ground will dictate the time:

Obama's inexperience would lead him to grant legitimacy and raise the
stature of dictators like Fidel Castro, Kim Jong-il and Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad by granting them a face to face meeting without
pre-conditions:
http://www.usatoday.com/news/
Iran is a state sponsor of terrorism. Obama has made conflicting
statements on Iran which is close to producing atom weaponry. Our
allies fear Obama will undercut progress in negotiations due to his
offer to engage in face to face talks with Iran’s President:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/
Obama would fight terrorism not as a war, but as a criminal problem.
This is a pre-9/11 mind set:

Barack Obama’s Policies Would Hurt the Economy
Obama wants to raise taxes to "spread the wealth around".
Obama’s tax policy that would take the nation back to the effective
marginal tax rates of the Carter days. He has called for increases in
payroll, capital gains, dividends and death taxes. He claims to only
want to raise taxes on the wealthy, but this could have a devastating
effect on new investment and small businesses:
http://www.wsj.com/public/
Obama would increase government spending by possibly one trillion
dollars in four years:
http://www.usnews.com/blogs/
Senator Obama voted against his own economic package. Sen. Wayne
Allard (R-CO) Acombed through Sen. Barack Obama’s (D-IL) many campaign
promises and compiled a list of 188 new spending proposals that he
then packaged together and offered as an amendment to the Fiscal 2009
budget plan. Allard calculated that for the 111 proposals for which
cost estimated were possible, Obama’s promises would cost the American
taxpayer $300 billion per year and $1.4 trillion over five years.
Allard released a floor statement highlighting the size of this
spending package, including:
The $300 billion is more than the $294 billion the U.S. spent on
imported oil last year.
Obama’s current tax raise proposal would cover only $225 billion over
5 years … far short of the $1.4 trillion in spending.
To finance just the first year of $300 billion in spending, Congress
would have to raise taxes on the top 1% of tax payers by 57%.
Obama voted against his own platform and the measure was defeated 97-0.
http://blog.heritage.org/2008/
Obama proposes nothing new in terms of an economic plan. It’s just the
old-fashioned solutions proposed by liberals for years –tax, spend and
regulate that lead to economic stagnation.:

Franklin Raines is one of Senator Obama’s advisors on economic issues.
Raines was the head of Fannie Mae which has now collapsed. Under
Raines Fannie Mae committed extensive financial fraud. Raines made 25
million dollars. Now taxpayers are stuck with the bill:
http://countusout.wordpress.
http://voices.washingtonpost.
Jim Johnson, former Fannie Mae CEO was a top advisor, chosen to vet
potential vice presidential nominees. In 1998, Fannie Mae’s earnings
were manipulated, which resulted in "maximum payouts" to executives
including Johnson who earned $1.9 Million when he otherwise would not
have earned a bonus. Johnson received special loans from Countrywide
Financial CEO Angelo Mozilo. Property records show Mr. Johnson has
received more than $7 Million in loans from Countrywide since 1998,
the first coming in the waning days of his Fannie Mae tenure. Johnson
also received fees and compensation from Fannie Mae worth $3.3 Million
between 2001 and 2006. He resigned, but he's now back on Obama’s
campaign : http://www.barackbook.com/
In his campaign speeches he has claimed to want to renegotiate NAFTA.
At the same time he sent an advisor to Canada to reassure Canadians
that this was just politics and wasn’t true:

Obama will increase the capital gains tax which will discourage
investment: http://blogs.abcnews.com/
Obama's Affinity to Marxists Dates Back to His College Days:
http://elections.foxnews.com/
Obama is opposed to renewing President Bush’s tax cuts which actually
succeeded in bring more revenue into the Federal Treasury.
Effectively, this will be a tax increase on all American who pay
taxes. On June 28, 2007 in a Democratic Primary debate Obama said
“There’s no doubt that the tax system has been skewed. And the Bush
tax cuts -- people didn’t need them, and they weren’t even asking for
them, and that’s why they need to be less…”:
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/
Obama proposes a Windfall Profits tax. Jimmy Carter tried it and it
failed miserably. It raised the cost of gas and led to drop in
domestic oil production:
http://www.taxhistory.org/thp/
During his campaign Obama has criticized the North American Free Trade
Agreement (NAFTA), blaming it for the loss of jobs in the United
States. But he sent a senior member of his campaign team to Canada to
tell officials there not to take his criticisms seriously:
http://www.ctv.ca/servlet/
Obama lied when he told Social Security recipients that their money
would now be in the stock market under McCain's plan:
http://www.factcheck.org/
http://voices.washingtonpost.
Barack Obama’s Policies on Energy Would Keep Us Dependent on Foreign Oil
Barack Obama opposes drilling on and offshore to reduce gas and oil prices.
While Barack Obama has opposed off-shore drilling and a gas-tax
holiday (as supported by John McCain or Hillary Clinton), his solution
to our energy crisis does include additional tax burdens on oil
company profits, taxes we can only imagine will be passed on to the
consumer, thus causing an even more expensive trip to the gas station.
Ethanol subsidies are a major plank in Barack Obama's view of energy
independence and national security. He favors ethanol subsidies, some
of which end up in the hands of the same oil companies he says should
be subjected to a windfall profits tax:
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/
Obama is opposed to drilling in ANWAR, in a desolate tundra area the
size of Minnesota. The oil industry says it would need to use only
2,000 acres-an area no bigger than Dulles Airport, outside D.C.-to get
that oil. This footprint would be 50 times smaller than the Montana
ranch owned by Ted Turner:
http://www.nationalreview.com/
While Obama attacks American automakers for not making enough
environmental friendly automobiles, he drives a V-8 hemi-powered
Chrysler 300: http://www.americanthinker.
Obama claims that the oil savings from inflating our tires properly
would equal new production plans:
http://www.worldnetdaily.com/
Barack Obama Would Not Support Badly Needed Education Reform
Obama would block true education reform because he too beholden to the
teacher’s unions:

When speaking before Planned Parenthood Barack Obama defended his
proposal of providing sex education to children in kindergarten. Hear
him say it in his own words:

Obama sends his children to private schools, but he opposes school
choice which would especially help poor parents send their children to
better schools:
http://www.nysun.com/
Barack Obama’s Poilicies on Health Care Would be a Bureaucratic Nightmare
Obama’s health care plan would not lower the premiums of current
payers as he claims.
His health care proposal will not create universal health care. It
will be bureaucratic debacle and lead to wasteful government spending:
http://www.americanthinker.
Elizabeth Edwards Knocks Obama Health Care Plan:

Barack Obama Supports Open Borders. Legal Immigration is a Great
Blessing to the United States, Illegal Immigration Poses a Threat.
Obama Voted for continuing federal funds for declared "sanctuary
cities". These cities will not enforce federal laws against illegal
immigration. http://www.ontheissues.org/
Obama Voted for allowing illegal aliens to participate in Social
Security. http://www.ontheissues.org/
Obama supports drivers licenses for illegal immigrants.
He supports health care for illegal immigrants. This is crushing the
health care system in some states:
http://www.ontheissues.org/
Obama scores 8% by USBC on immigration issues.
OnTheIssues.org interprets the 2005-2006 USBC scores as follows:
0%-30%: open-border stance (approx. 197 members)
30%-70%: mixed record on open borders (approx. 70 members)
70%-100%: sealed-border stance (approx. 202 members)
http://www.ontheissues.org/
Barack Obama is Weak on the Second Amendment
He is unclear about his support for the Second Amendment to the
Constitution. Americans should not relinquish their legitimate right
to self-defense:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/
At a fundraiser before rich, elite Democrats he mocked people who live
in rural areas as bitter people who cling to guns and religion:

Barack Obama Effectively Supports Same-Sex Marriage
Obama would repeal the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) which would
force other states to recognize same-sex marriages recognized in other
states like Massachusetts. So much for the idea of federalism!
http://www.
Obama supports strong civil unions for homosexuals. In practice, this
is not much different than supporting same-sex marriage:
http://www.insidesocal.com/
Obama supports adoption for same-sex couples:
http://www.advocate.com/news_
Obama voted against a Federal Marriage amendment to define marriage as
a relationship between a man and a woman:
http://obama.senate.gov/press/
Obama is opposed to California’s Marriage amendment to define marriage
as a relationship between a man and a woman:
http://www.lifesitenews.com/
Barack Obama Would Appoint Activist Judges and Oppose Legal Reform
Obama would appoint activist judges to the Supreme Court and appellate
courts who would legislate from the bench:

Barack Obama Lacks Experience
Obama spent 143 days in the Senate before he started running for
President: http://tampa.craigslist.org/
Obama has never authored a piece of major legislation.
Obama has no executive experience. He has never run a business or done
a pay roll etc..
He himself has admitted that he does not have the experience to be the
President of the United States:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?
His running mate Senator Biden charged that Obama lacked the
experience to be President: http://www.youtube.com/watch?
Without a teleprompter Obama is hesitant and confused:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?
Here is Obama claiming he’s visited 57 States:

Barack Obama’s Alliances are Highly Questionable
His wife Michelle charged that America was a mean country and said
that for the first time in her adult lifetime she is proud of her
country because of her husband’s campaign:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?
His long time friend and mentor is Rev. Jeremiah Wright formerly the
Pastor Trinity Church who said instead of God bless America, we should
say God damn America: http://www.youtube.com/watch?
Another mentor of Obama's is Khalid Al-Mansour. Khalid Al-Mansour is a
racist and an anti-Semite.
Obama claimed he never heard anti-American, anti-White speeches at his
church; his own autobiography indicates he did and as he later
admitted under pressure:
http://sweetness-light.com/
Obama is a friend of Father Michael Phleger a radical Catholic priest
who has honored Louis Farrakhan at his Church:

Barack Obama is a friend of former members of the radical Weather
Underground terrorist organization William Ayers and his wife
Bernardine Dohrn. They were responsible for several bombings between
1970 and 1974 the Pentagon, the Capitol and a police station in San
Francisco. Ayers is quoted in the New York Times on September 11, 2001
as saying "I don't regret setting bombs...I feel we didn't do enough."
Ayers helped Obama launch his Illinois State Senate career, held a
fund raiser for him and the two served on the board of the Woods Fund
together : http://www.youtube.com/watch?
Obama while serving on the board of the Woods Fund with Bill Ayers
gave money to an Arab group that calls the establishment of Israel a
"catastrophe". Rashid Khalidi is the co-founder of this group. He is a
Columbia University professor and has condoned terrorist tactics by
Palestinian organizations. Rashid Khalidi held a fundraiser for Obama:

The Los Angeles Times is currently suppressing a video of Obama
praising Rashid Khalidi:

Obama helped to organize the Million Man March in 1995 sponsored by
the racist and anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan:

Louis Farrakhan and the Nation of Islam support Obama for President:
http://www.newsmax.com/
Obama has had a long and close association with the radical group
ACORN which has been tied to voter fraud in several states and the
sub-prime mortgage crisis:
Obama claims not to take money from Washington lobbyists, but he takes
money from lobbyists' spouses and holds fundraisers at the offices of
law firms that lobby Congress. He happily accepts huge amounts of
money from executives of big oil and drug companies and many others.
In fact, he's relying on two oil company executives to raise $50,000
apiece for his campaign:
http://blogs.usatoday.com/
Tony Rezko is a convicted criminal and long time friend and
fund-raiser for Obama. Rezko was indicted last fall on federal charges
that accuse him of demanding kickbacks from companies seeking state
business. Obama claimed Rezko donated only $50,000 to him. Later,
under pressure, he revealed Rezko raised more than twice that amount
and also sat on his fundraising committee. When asked about his
friend, Obama said, “I’ve never done any favors for him.” But evidence
proved Obama had written letters to city and state officials praising
Rezko’s business practices. Obama helped steer 14 million tax dollars
to him: http://www.suntimes.com/news/
Tony Rezko helped to buy Obama’s house:

His running mate Joe Biden has the third most liberal voting record in
the Senate. He dropped out of the race for the Presidency in 1988
after he admitted to plagiarism in law school and in some of his
speeches: http://www.americanthinker.
Barack Obama campaigned for Raila Odinga, a radical Kenyan Marxist
thug: http://jewagainstobama.
Obama has said in speeches “we are our brother’s keeper”. But his
brother in Kenya lives in a hut on just $10 a year:

Barack Obama Advocates a Dangerous Foreign Policy
The world is still a dangerous place and Barack Obama has no Foreign
Policy no foreign policy experience. Rogue nations perceive Obama as
weak. Weakness invites attack. Perhaps China will invade Taiwan. Maybe
Iran will attack Israel or Russia will invade the Ukraine. Maybe
Venezuela will stir up trouble in the Caribbean.
Even his running mate Senator Joe Biden admits that the rookie
President will be tested in the first six months in Office.
Biden Slammed Obama for Voting Against Funding theTroops:
http://www.usatoday.com/news/
Barack Obama falsely accused American soldiers of "air raiding
villages and killing civilians.":
http://www.youtube.com/watch?
Obama said he would have been against the surge in Iraq anyway, even
though he admits it has succeeded beyond our wildest dreams:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?
Obama is constantly changing his position about when troops will be
withdrawn from Iraq. Sometimes he favors a precipitous withdrawal. At
other times he says conditions on the ground will dictate the time:
http://www.ohiogop.org/spread-
Obama's inexperience would lead him to grant legitimacy and raise the
stature of dictators like Fidel Castro, Kim Jong-il and Mahmoud
Ahmadinejad by granting them a face to face meeting without
pre-conditions:
http://www.usatoday.com/news/
Iran is a state sponsor of terrorism. Obama has made conflicting
statements on Iran which is close to producing atom weaponry. Our
allies fear Obama will undercut progress in negotiations due to his
offer to engage in face to face talks with Iran’s President:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/
Obama would fight terrorism not as a war, but as a criminal problem.
This is a pre-9/11 mind set:
http://article.nationalreview.
Obama would down-size the American military during a time of war. He
has pledged to dismantle our national defense systems, including
development of future defense technologies leaving us vulnerable to
attack: http://www.rightupfront.org/
The terrorist group Hamas supports Barack Obama:
http://www.powerlineblog.com/
Jesse Jackson, an Obama supporter speaking in Evian France said that
'Zionists' control American foreign policy and they'll lose power in
an Obama administration.
Obama is taking illegal foreign donations from Palestinians.
Obama is the Chairman of the Senate Europe and NATO subcommittee. He
has failed to hold a single hearing:

Obama didn’t bother to visit wounded troops on his visit to Germany,
instead he went to the gym:

Barack Obama’s Policies Would Hurt the Economy
Obama wants to raise taxes to "spread the wealth around".
Obama’s tax policy that would take the nation back to the effective
marginal tax rates of the Carter days. He has called for increases in
payroll, capital gains, dividends and death taxes. He claims to only
want to raise taxes on the wealthy, but this could have a devastating
effect on new investment and small businesses:
http://www.wsj.com/public/
Obama would increase government spending by possibly one trillion
dollars in four years:
http://www.usnews.com/blogs/
Senator Obama voted against his own economic package. Sen. Wayne
Allard (R-CO) Acombed through Sen. Barack Obama’s (D-IL) many campaign
promises and compiled a list of 188 new spending proposals that he
then packaged together and offered as an amendment to the Fiscal 2009
budget plan. Allard calculated that for the 111 proposals for which
cost estimated were possible, Obama’s promises would cost the American
taxpayer $300 billion per year and $1.4 trillion over five years.
Allard released a floor statement highlighting the size of this
spending package, including:
The $300 billion is more than the $294 billion the U.S. spent on
imported oil last year.
Obama’s current tax raise proposal would cover only $225 billion over
5 years … far short of the $1.4 trillion in spending.
To finance just the first year of $300 billion in spending, Congress
would have to raise taxes on the top 1% of tax payers by 57%.
Obama voted against his own platform and the measure was defeated 97-0.

Obama proposes nothing new in terms of an economic plan. It’s just the
old-fashioned solutions proposed by liberals for years –tax, spend and
regulate that lead to economic stagnation.:

Franklin Raines is one of Senator Obama’s advisors on economic issues.
Raines was the head of Fannie Mae which has now collapsed. Under
Raines Fannie Mae committed extensive financial fraud. Raines made 25
million dollars. Now taxpayers are stuck with the bill:
http://countusout.wordpress.
http://voices.washingtonpost.
Jim Johnson, former Fannie Mae CEO was a top advisor, chosen to vet
potential vice presidential nominees. In 1998, Fannie Mae’s earnings
were manipulated, which resulted in "maximum payouts" to executives
including Johnson who earned $1.9 Million when he otherwise would not
have earned a bonus. Johnson received special loans from Countrywide
Financial CEO Angelo Mozilo. Property records show Mr. Johnson has
received more than $7 Million in loans from Countrywide since 1998,
the first coming in the waning days of his Fannie Mae tenure. Johnson
also received fees and compensation from Fannie Mae worth $3.3 Million
between 2001 and 2006. He resigned, but he's now back on Obama’s
campaign : http://www.barackbook.com/
In his campaign speeches he has claimed to want to renegotiate NAFTA.
At the same time he sent an advisor to Canada to reassure Canadians
that this was just politics and wasn’t true:

Obama will increase the capital gains tax which will discourage
investment: http://blogs.abcnews.com/
Obama's Affinity to Marxists Dates Back to His College Days:
http://elections.foxnews.com/
Obama is opposed to renewing President Bush’s tax cuts which actually
succeeded in bring more revenue into the Federal Treasury.
Effectively, this will be a tax increase on all American who pay
taxes. On June 28, 2007 in a Democratic Primary debate Obama said
“There’s no doubt that the tax system has been skewed. And the Bush
tax cuts -- people didn’t need them, and they weren’t even asking for
them, and that’s why they need to be less…”:
http://www.nytimes.com/2007/
Obama proposes a Windfall Profits tax. Jimmy Carter tried it and it
failed miserably. It raised the cost of gas and led to drop in
domestic oil production:
http://www.taxhistory.org/thp/
During his campaign Obama has criticized the North American Free Trade
Agreement (NAFTA), blaming it for the loss of jobs in the United
States. But he sent a senior member of his campaign team to Canada to
tell officials there not to take his criticisms seriously:

Obama lied when he told Social Security recipients that their money
would now be in the stock market under McCain's plan:

http://voices.washingtonpost.
Barack Obama’s Policies on Energy Would Keep Us Dependent on Foreign Oil
Barack Obama opposes drilling on and offshore to reduce gas and oil prices.
While Barack Obama has opposed off-shore drilling and a gas-tax
holiday (as supported by John McCain or Hillary Clinton), his solution
to our energy crisis does include additional tax burdens on oil
company profits, taxes we can only imagine will be passed on to the
consumer, thus causing an even more expensive trip to the gas station.
Ethanol subsidies are a major plank in Barack Obama's view of energy
independence and national security. He favors ethanol subsidies, some
of which end up in the hands of the same oil companies he says should
be subjected to a windfall profits tax:
http://www.nytimes.com/2008/
Obama is opposed to drilling in ANWAR, in a desolate tundra area the
size of Minnesota. The oil industry says it would need to use only
2,000 acres-an area no bigger than Dulles Airport, outside D.C.-to get
that oil. This footprint would be 50 times smaller than the Montana
ranch owned by Ted Turner:
http://www.nationalreview.com/
While Obama attacks American automakers for not making enough
environmental friendly automobiles, he drives a V-8 hemi-powered
Chrysler 300: http://www.americanthinker.
Obama claims that the oil savings from inflating our tires properly
would equal new production plans:
http://www.worldnetdaily.com/
Barack Obama Would Not Support Badly Needed Education Reform
Obama would block true education reform because he too beholden to the
teacher’s unions:
http://www.boston.com/news/
http://article.nationalreview.
When speaking before Planned Parenthood Barack Obama defended his
proposal of providing sex education to children in kindergarten. Hear
him say it in his own words:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?
Obama sends his children to private schools, but he opposes school
choice which would especially help poor parents send their children to
better schools:
http://www.nysun.com/
Barack Obama’s Poilicies on Health Care Would be a Bureaucratic Nightmare
Obama’s health care plan would not lower the premiums of current
payers as he claims.
His health care proposal will not create universal health care. It
will be bureaucratic debacle and lead to wasteful government spending:
http://www.americanthinker.
Elizabeth Edwards Knocks Obama Health Care Plan:
http://www.aim.org/don-irvine-
Barack Obama Supports Open Borders. Legal Immigration is a Great
Blessing to the United States, Illegal Immigration Poses a Threat.
Obama Voted for continuing federal funds for declared "sanctuary
cities". These cities will not enforce federal laws against illegal
immigration. http://www.ontheissues.org/
Obama Voted for allowing illegal aliens to participate in Social
Security. http://www.ontheissues.org/
Obama supports drivers licenses for illegal immigrants.
He supports health care for illegal immigrants. This is crushing the
health care system in some states:
http://www.ontheissues.org/
Obama scores 8% by USBC on immigration issues.
OnTheIssues.org interprets the 2005-2006 USBC scores as follows:
0%-30%: open-border stance (approx. 197 members)
30%-70%: mixed record on open borders (approx. 70 members)
70%-100%: sealed-border stance (approx. 202 members)
http://www.ontheissues.org/
Barack Obama is Weak on the Second Amendment
He is unclear about his support for the Second Amendment to the
Constitution. Americans should not relinquish their legitimate right
to self-defense:
http://www.washingtonpost.com/
At a fundraiser before rich, elite Democrats he mocked people who live
in rural areas as bitter people who cling to guns and religion:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?
Barack Obama Effectively Supports Same-Sex Marriage
Obama would repeal the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) which would
force other states to recognize same-sex marriages recognized in other
states like Massachusetts. So much for the idea of federalism!
http://www.
Obama supports strong civil unions for homosexuals. In practice, this
is not much different than supporting same-sex marriage:
http://www.insidesocal.com/
Obama supports adoption for same-sex couples:
http://www.advocate.com/news_
Obama voted against a Federal Marriage amendment to define marriage as
a relationship between a man and a woman:
http://obama.senate.gov/press/
Obama is opposed to California’s Marriage amendment to define marriage
as a relationship between a man and a woman:
http://www.lifesitenews.com/
Barack Obama Would Appoint Activist Judges and Oppose Legal Reform
Obama would appoint activist judges to the Supreme Court and appellate
courts who would legislate from the bench:
