Hey all--
I created six basic, concise, hard-hitting arguments against Barack Hussein Obama for mass newspaper-site posting. I have been very careful to use clear, moderate, politically-correct wording. Please copy and use these as-is, or modify them at your pleasure. I don't have the time to post at a bunch of newspaper sites, but hopefully I've made it easier for many of you to.

Barack Obama and ACORN Donation
Barack Hussein Obama recently made an $800,000 donation to the Marxist community-organizing group ACORN, which has illegally registered at least 300,000 ineligible voters. This has been very well-publicized and can be referenced in any Internet media search. Should we be voting for a candidate who stands idly by while one of his favorite nonprofits commits mass voter fraud? Is this somebody who respects the integrity of the electoral process? And also--Obama claims to be middle-class and to stand for the working man. How many American workers are able to make donations of close to a million dollars at the drop of a hat?

Five Reasons Barack Hussein Obama Cannot Be Trusted On Economy
1: To this day, Obama refuses to condemn or even criticize corrupt Fannie Mae CEO Franklin Raines, a key supporter of his, whose insane zeal for lowering the credit threshhold of new loan applicants played a pivotal role in collapsing the mortgage system.
2: It is undisputed fact that Obama voted to raise income taxes for all making over $42,000 annually as an Illinois state senator.
3: Senator Obama and key congressional Democratic friends of his such as Reps. Barney Frank and Maxine Waters (D-MA and CA, respectively) were instrumental in pushing for Clinton's Fair Housing Act, which required banks to lower their lending standards in an effort to boost minority homeownership.
4: Taken cumulatively, Obama's promised spending plans would add up to an increase in federal spending of ONE TRILLION DOLLARS. Do you really think that ONLY those making $250,000 or more will be paying for something that massive?
5: Obama enthusiastically supported the $750 billion-dollar bailout that Bush wanted. In other words, Obama (who supposedly is a friend of the downtrodden and the hardworking taxpayer) likes rewarding corrupt, robber-baron CEOs with your money.

Six Scariest Facts About Barack Hussein Obama
1: As an Illinois state senator, Obama voted to decriminalize COMPLETELY DELIVERING a nine-month old infant and KILLING IT afterward.
2: Obama attended a racist church (Trinity United Church of Christ) for nearly a quarter of a century of his life. TUCC's official website to this day describes it as a congregation that is "unabashedly Christian and unashamedly Black." Obama got married there and all his kids were baptized and made their first communions there. He only quit THIS SPRING when he was facing heat in the media. Obama still reveres and refuses to repudiate his former pastor, Reverend Jeremiah Wright, who teaches that G-d is punishing and judging the whites of America and the Jews of Israel. Reverend Wright and his friend, famed black supremacist and anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan (leader of the Nation of Islam), visited Libyan dictator Moammar Qaddafi in 1984--and Obama attended Minister Farrakhan's Million Man March in 1995.
3: Obama's foreign-policy campaign advisor, Samantha Powers, recently called for the United States to declare war on Israel.
4: Obama bought his Chicago-suburbs mansion at one-third market value from his close friend, Syrian-born radical Antoin "Tony" Rezko, who is a convicted felon serving time for embezzlement. Rezko is well-known for having raised large sums of cash for the Holy Land Foundation and other terror-front groups in the United States.
5: Obama compulsively lies about his religious upbringing. He continues to deny ever having been a Muslim, despite the availability of childhood records from both his Islamic primary and Catholic middle schools in Indonesia, which indicate that he was registered as a Muslim in both. Numerous photos of him exist in which he is donning traditional Islamic Kenyan folk garb as a young man, while visiting relatives in Kenya. He may be lying about his religious faith even today: in his national ABC interview with George Stephanopoulos on September 7 of this year, he referred to his "Muslim faith"--stunning Stephanopoulos.
6: In August 2007, Obama casually said that American forces in Afghanistan are doing nothing but "bombing villages and killing women and children."

Foreign Endorsements for Obama
Barack Hussein Obama has been publicly endorsed by Hamas and Fidel Castro. Castro even put his endorsement up on the official Cuban government website. Likewise, Obama has been endorsed by every state in anti-American Europe and the Middle East. This is hardly surprising, because he has been campaigning to be "a president for the whole world" since early this summer. Obama has promised that he would not attack Iran UNDER ANY CIRCUMSTANCES--not even if Iran is developing nuclear weapons, and not even if Iran strikes first. Indeed, Obama wants to invite Iranian dictator Mahmoud Ahmadinejad to the White House on friendly terms, expecting nothing in return, and favors dropping all economic sanctions against Iran so that a full economic relationship can be begun. Obama does not object to even the future sale of advanced American technology to Iran. Is this safe for the United States or the rest of the free world?

Obama, His Cousin, and Kenyan Radicals
Barack Hussein Obama endorsed, and in turn was endorsed by, his cousin, Islamist Kenyan presidential candidate Raila Odinga (a member of the Luo tribe, the same tribe as Obama's father) this winter. Odinga's platform included imposing sharia (Islamic law) on Kenya if elected. Because of this, many Kenyans were horrified and he lost the election to Mwai Kibaki. After the defeat, Odinga rallied his supporters to embark on a massive campaign of mob violence against Christians. Hundreds of Kenyan Christians were murdered, and scores of churches destroyed, in Odinga's jihadist pogroms. To this day, Obama has not condemned his cousin Odinga for what he did.

Is Barack Hussein Obama Intelligent Enough To Be President?
Here is a list of egregious and stupid public misstatements by Obama (courtesy of nationally-acclaimed columnist Michelle Malkin):
--In May of 2007, he claimed that tornadoes in Kansas killed a whopping 10,000 people: “In case you missed it, this week, there was a tragedy in Kansas. Ten thousand people died — an entire town destroyed.” The actual death toll: 12.
--In May 2008 in Oregon, he redrew the map of the United States: “Over the last 15 months, we’ve traveled to every corner of the United States. I’ve now been in 57 states; I think one left to go.”
-- Explaining in May, 2008 why he was trailing Hillary Clinton in Kentucky, Obama again botched basic geography: “Sen. Clinton, I think, is much better known, coming from a nearby state of Arkansas. So it’s not surprising that she would have an advantage in some of those states in the middle.” On what map is Arkansas closer to Kentucky than Illinois?
-- Obama has as much trouble with numbers as he has with maps. In March of 2007, on the anniversary of the Bloody Sunday march in Selma, Ala., he claimed his parents united as a direct result of the civil rights movement: “There was something stirring across the country because of what happened in Selma, Ala., because some folks are willing to march across a bridge. So they got together and Barack Obama Jr. was born.” Obama was born in 1961. The Selma march took place in 1965. His spokesman, Bill Burton, later explained that Obama was “speaking metaphorically about the civil-rights movement as a whole.”
-- Obama completely lacks an understanding of Middle Eastern ethnicities and cultures. This spring in Cape Girardeau, Mo., Obama showed off his knowledge of the war in Afghanistan by homing in on a lack of translators: “We only have a certain number of them, and if they are all in Iraq, then it’s harder for us to use them in Afghanistan.” (Iraqis speak Arabic or Kurdish. The Afghanis speak Pashto, Farsi, or other non-Arabic languages.)
--In March of 2007, the Chicago Tribune reported this little-noticed nugget about a fake autobiographical detail in Obama’s Dreams from My Father: “Then, there’s the copy of Life magazine that Obama presents as his racial awakening at age 9. In it, he wrote, was an article and two accompanying photographs of an African-American man physically and mentally scarred by his efforts to lighten his skin. In fact, the Life article and the photographs don’t exist, say the magazine’s own historians.”
--Obama told a Portland crowd at a weekend rally this spring that Iran doesn’t “pose a serious threat to us” — cluelessly arguing that “tiny countries” with small defense budgets can’t do us harm — and then promptly flip-flopped the next day, claiming, “I’ve made it clear for years that the threat from Iran is grave.”
--Obama claimed that his grandfather liberated the Auschwitz concentration camp in 1945. However, that would have been an impossible feat unless his grandfather was Russian. The Auschwitz death camp in Poland was liberated by the Red Army in January of 1945.
Does this sound like a man who is sufficiently educated to be President of the United States? How is he qualified to have the highest position in the world?
