"My Sister Made The Front Page!"

To commemorate Obama's first 100 day's in office, our local newspaper, the Finger Lakes Times, solicited ratings from the public on how we thought Obama's job performance was during that period. We were given a 75-word limit in which to describe how we thought he had done or to mention any highlights we may have noticed during that period.

Imagine my delight when my husband brought the newspaper home, and I discovered that my sister, Carol Lee Bond Harris, had written such an awesome response that hers made the front page of the newspaper! I have mentioned before that ours is a family of writers, and now I have indisputable proof! As I was telling my husband, the only way that I will ever make the front page is if there's a murder involved...probably mine!

Here is what Carol's article said:

"So much damage in so short a time with so little effort. Millions of American dollars for foreign abortions. Increased wasteful spending on failed embryonic stem cell research, disregarding successful treatments derived from adult stem cells. Irresponsible banks and companies rewarded for their misdeeds. Our children consigned into debt for posterity to fund "spread the wealth" Big Government agenda. Reduction of missile defenses authorized following North Korea launching a missile over our allies. God help us."
Carol Lee Bond Harris of Waterloo

There were three more responses inside the newspaper as a continuation of the article, but they weren't even close to being as good as Carol's.

The response that I wrote did not get published, but if it had, then Carol and I together would have covered almost every issue that had happened within the 100 days. My response was as follows:

"Attempted multiple confirmations of tax-cheaters for Representatives; mismanaged AIG’s bailout; spending Billions of non-existent dollars; insulted British Prime Minister; escaped saluting flag and singing National Anthem at Camp Lejeune: bowed to the sovereignty of King Abdullah; classified our courageous vets as a "terrorist threat;" requested removal of IHS religious insignia at Georgetown University; delayed rescue of Captain from Somali pirates; and "unaware" of Tax Day Tea Parties translates into being out of touch. Great job."
Cynde Lou Bond Hammond of Romulus

Congratulations, Carol! You did a great job, I'm very proud of you, and I love you very much! Not only was it well-written, but it was factual and it was exactly right; you hit the nail right on the head. Way to go, girl!

Until next time...stay safe, stay well, and may God bless you all.

"We're Gonna Be Grandparents!"

In case you haven't gotten the word, Dion and I are going to be first-time grandparents! Our oldest son, Josh, and his girlfriend, Chrissy, are expecting a baby boy sometime in April 2009! They have said that they plan to get married, but there is no word as to when that might be.

When I think of all the so-called "pro-choice" advocates that push for the right to murder babies like my grandbaby, it makes me shudder. I thank God that Josh and Chrissy are not going to destroy that baby. I am so grateful to them for that I can hardly breathe. Just thinking of other grandmothers, you know who you are, who have had to lose their grandbabies because of this senseless, selfish murder called "abortion," it makes me feel sick.

Obama has promised that the first thing that he is going to do as president is to sign the "Freedom of Choice Act" (also known as FOCA). I bet most of you don't even realize the far-reaching implications of that act. In essence, it will sweep away hundreds of anti-abortion laws and policies including these, which are among the most important: parental consent and notification laws for minors; state and federal funding restrictions on abortion; conscience protections for pro-life citizens working in the health-care industry and protections against being forced to participate in the practice of abortion or else lose their jobs. Do you understand what I am saying here? I am saying that this proposed legislation will create a federally guaranteed "fundamental right" to abortions for undefined 'health' reasons, and to abort a fully developed child in the final weeks, through all nine months of pregnancy, in other words...infanticide!

To you, who claim to be Christians and yet you voted for a man that is clearly evil, I ask you, "How could you turn your back on the Lord like that?" You closed your ears and eyes completely when messengers of God tried to tell you the Truth; you spewed your wicked, hurtful messages of division, subversion and racism throughout the internet and media; and you tried to destroy not only the candidates of the opposing side, but their CHILDREN as well! And you claim WE are haters? What a joke!

For those of you that truly don't know what Obama's stand is on the issue of abortion, an article entitled "Obama's Abortion Extremism" is the perfect article to explain it. The author of the post, Robert P. George, is McCormick Professor of Jurisprudence and Director of the James Madison Program in American Ideals and Institutions at Princeton University. He is a member of the President’s Council on Bioethics and previously served on the United States Commission on Civil Rights.

"Obama's Dirty Little Secret"

The information was finally released on Saturday, 01 November 2008, that Barack Obama’s beloved Aunti Zeituni Onyango, the sister of his late father whom he has immortalized in his memoir, "Dreams From My Father," has been living in the United States as an illegal immigrant! She was refused asylum four years ago, evaded deportation and has been in defiance of a judicial ruling even since, but not without help. Obama’s aunt has been living in Boston public housing and receiving stipends for “volunteering” as a resident health advocate. While she’s not exactly an axe-murderer or living at the Ritz, she is still living in the United States illegally and we taxpayers are footing the bill. Hmmm…I wonder from whence her legal advice came? It’s not exactly an effortless task to weave your way in and out of the bureaucratic mine-field affectionately known as “social services.” Someone must have helped her, an elderly foreigner, to navigate her way through the system so that she could “fleece” our government, right along with the millions of other illegal immigrants that are currently in this country.

The best part is, she illegally donated to Obama’s presidential campaign, which proves that he has been receiving illegal donations, just as many of us suspected. There is no way to tell what the total amounts of the illegal donations that he has received are, since Obama will not release the list of his donations that are less than the legal guidelines. Neither candidate is required to do so, but in the interest of keeping with his policy of being open, transparent and truthful—something that Obama has been sadly lacking in since the beginning of his campaign—John McCain has gladly made his entire list available. In addition, it came as no surprise when Obama went back on his word to mutually agree to the limitations of public financing. Obama is the first major presidential candidate to refuse to adhere to these limitations since the new system was first started in 1976. It isn’t the first time Obama has gone back on his word to the American people, nor will it be his last, I’m afraid, but in a television interview between CNN’s Tony Harris and Candy Crowley, the matter is downplayed as they both giggle and present it as somehow “comical” saying, “obviously he couldn’t pass up that advantage, so he opts out.” It wouldn’t be important or even expected for Obama to keep
his “word,” of course.

http://www.blog.newsweek.com/blogs/stumper/archive/2008/06/19/the-problem-with-obama-s-public-financing-acrobatics.aspx

http://www.cnn.com/2008/POLITICS/06/19/obama.public.financing/index.html#cnnSTCVideo

Wow…that sure doesn’t speak well for the character of Barack Obama, does it? Give the man a better deal and “POOF!” Out the window goes his “word!” Yeah, right…as if his “word” meant anything to begin with. Plus, what better way to cover up receiving illegal campaign donations than to opt out of public financing—not that anyone will check on him anyway—but all he has to do is say, “I wasn’t aware of that,” like he did in the case of receiving illegal donations from his aunt and if he knew of his aunt’s illegal status. I wonder how many “millions” of illegal donations just like hers he’s “not aware of.”

Also, the concern in our nation about the number of illegal immigrants that are allowed to enter our country to receive free health, education and housing benefits at taxpayer’s expense, is growing rapidly. In addition, many of the illegal immigrants enter our country commit crimes stir up unrest, many start up gangs, and countless others ignore orders of deportation. When Obama was asked if he favored allowing illegal immigrants to obtain driver’s licenses, something that met with strong opposition here in New York State and several other states, he said, “Yes.” He makes reckless, untrue statements about how Rush Limbaugh, Lou Dobbs and people like them have called for the roundup and immediate deportation of illegal immigrants, just to incite dissention between the illegal immigrants and the whites. He tried to elevate his status in the eyes of the Germans in Berlin when he made his “grand” world speech there. He was disloyal to our nation and he portrayed all of the American people as selfish, spoiled and racist. How long are we going to stand by and let him disrespect our people and our nation so that he can further his own personal and Muslim/African/anti-American agenda?

As far as I am concerned, the only areas that Obama is really experienced in are: lying and pandering. That makes him supremely qualified to head the Democratic National Committee, perhaps, but certainly not the United States of America, the most powerful country in the world! When are you “Pied Piper Obama” followers going to wake up from your "daze" and realize the truth? I pray that it will be before it’s too late for our nation. If it’s not, then you each will get what you deserve and I will remain on my knees, asking God to help us all.

Until next time...stay safe, stay well, and may God bless you all.

"Obama's 'Pinocchio' Ears"

*****************I thought I would take a little bit of time to write just some of the discrepancies that I have noticed in what Sen. Obama has said and done. I don’t have the time or energy to cover every one of them, so I’ve picked out the ones that I feel are the most important. As you all know, when you are dealing with someone who lies, their lies grow and grow, until they have Pinocchio-type proportions. I think we should definitely keep an eye on Obama’s ears!

The first glaring discrepancy that I noticed has to do with Obama’s continued opposition to the “Born-Alive Protection Act,” a bill to protect the survivors of abortion from being shelved and left to die in the hospital instead of being provided basic humanitarian and medical care. Obama’s “story” was that the reason he didn’t approve the subsequent versions of the bill after initially voting “no” was because the wording was not the same as the bill that was finally passed almost unanimously in the House. He said if the wording had been like that, he would gladly have signed off on it, but…in fact…the wording was exactly like that and even though he has been made aware of that on several occasions, (like he didn’t already know that) he still chose to announce that the NRLC (National Right to Life Committee) was lying, right on national television, just to save his own hide. Since then, surprisingly, FactCheck.Org exonerated the NRLC and the NRLC is still waiting for a public apology from Sen. Obama. Does anyone want to take bets on how long they’ll have to wait?

Next, as you know, Sen. Obama has stated that the $700 billion bailout was necessary because of failed economic policies that Sen. McCain supported, specifically the deregulation issue. It is a matter of record that Sen. McCain tried to warn the Democrats of the impending problem by presenting a bill in 2005 which he co-sponsored called the “Housing Enterprise Regulatory Act of 2005” (Bill S-190, www.govtrack.us) that the Democrats totally fought.
Even before that, President Bush tried to create a new agency that would regulate the supervision of Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac because he could see that there was a potential problem and he tried to inform the House Democrats then, but people like Barney Frank (D-MA) and Melvin Watt (D-NC) fought vehemently against it, saying that these controls were not necessary, just as they said Bill S-190 was not necessary in 2005 and also when it came back before the House again in 2007.

Friends of Fannie Mae in the Senate were: Sen. Christopher Dodd and none other than Sen. Barack Obama! To make a long story short, in a period of 3 years, Obama received more in campaign contributions from Fannie Mae than Sen. John Kerry did in 20 years! In fact, Obama received 4 times more than any other senator per year over the last 20 years. And, a fact that should interest you very much is that Obama received 49 times more in campaign contributions from Fannie Mae than Sen. John McCain did. What does that tell you? Just think about it.

Be sure to watch the first video very closely because it goes pretty fast. Use the “pause” button if you need to and check out the website they refer to or “Google” when you question something. Everything is well-documented and this video is packed with information. The second one is quite the eye-opener as well. You are not going to believe how the Democrats fought against having any kind of oversight of Fannie Mae or Freddie Mac and please pay particular attention to the reading of the bonuses that were handed out. Also listen carefully to the language between the two sides and then listen to President Clinton’s statement in which he acknowledges the responsibility of the Democrats for resisting the efforts of the Republicans in the Congress and himself to tighten up on Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac.

Next I’ll address the much-advertised “Reverend Wright Scandal.” You may recall that on several different occasions, Sen. Obama was questioned as to whether he had any idea that Rev. Wright was preaching such incendiary messages at his church and if so, why did he remain at that church. Just for the sake of proof, I am going to provide videos for you that show him clearly giving two different answers to that question. The second one is kind of long, but please watch the whole thing because it does get to the point and apply to this subject.

#11.) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zUdjhKbImwE

In addition, he also mentions, in detail in his book, “Dreams From My Father,” and in his own words, the fact that he did know the doctrine of the church before he went there and he did in fact hear him say a lot of the exact speeches that he was questioned about by reporters. These speeches were referenced in the book as well.

The next subject that I’d like to address is one that I think is very important. What is Obama hiding? As you must realize, when someone runs for public office, their life becomes an open book. The same holds true for the office of the President of the United States of America; in fact, it is even truer for that person because he or she needs to be thoroughly checked and rechecked for reasons of national security. For that reason I am concerned as to why Sen. Obama is so secretive and is not forthcoming when he has been asked to release normal documents for review. The following is the current list to date of items that he has still not released:

1. Occidental College records -- Not released
2. Columbia College records -- Not released
3. Columbia Thesis paper -- "not available"
4. Harvard College records -- Not released
5. Selective Service Registration -- Not released
6. Illinois State Senate schedule -- "not available"
7. Law practice client list -- Not released
8. Certified Copy of original Birth certificate -- Not released
9. Embossed, signed paper Certification of Live Birth -- Not rel.
10. Harvard Law Review articles published -- None
11. University of Chicago scholarly articles -- None
12. His Record of baptism-- Not released or "not available"
13. His Illinois State Senate records--"not available"

Please watch this extremely urgent video:

As I mentioned in my previous post, there is currently a lawsuit that is before the highest court in the land, the U.S. Supreme Court, where they will have to make the final determination as to whether Barack H. Obama is even qualified to run for the presidency of the United States. The fact that this lawsuit has gone this far proves its merit and the American people should be asking themselves just one question right now: What is Obama trying to hide? They will have to determine if the evidence that they have will prove without a shadow of a doubt whether Obama is a natural-born citizen of the United States. If the birth certificate that he posted on his website, that investigators hired by Philip J. Berg have determined is clearly a fraud, is a fake like we are quite sure that it is…then what will Obama think up next? The dog ate my birth certificate? (I have a feeling that quite a few of his “groupies” will believe him, too, because they don’t care what he says or does, just as long as he gets to be the president.)

We all know how the Obama Campaign works—it’s a well-oiled machine. When they hear an “annoying” allegation, comment, or commercial that was made by the McCain Campaign, within 12 hours at the latest they have made a commercial or similar response to counteract the “damage.” They don’t let one little tidbit go unanswered! But what have any of us heard from the Obama Campaign about this particular subject? Not one word!

This is a real live lawsuit, ladies and gentlemen! It’s one that I believe that Obama rushed off to Hawaii under the guise of “concern for his sick grandmother,” (who had already been released from the hospital because the crisis had passed) to double-check that there wasn’t any incriminating evidence (such as his Kenyan birth certificate, perhaps) left at “Granny’s” house. Even though she was supposedly ill enough for Obama to suddenly suspend his campaign, cancel rallies and whisk off to be by her side with only 14 day left in the campaign, he didn’t think it was necessary to take Michelle and the two girls. Very curious behavior indeed, don’t you think?

While the media has dismissed Obama’s relationship with William Ayers as unimportant and ancient history, I think it bears taking a second look at the matter. In addition, I think we need to take a look at the big picture and see just who it is that our possible “future President” spends his time with, relies on and calls his friends. We need to assess his powers of judgment, as well. And just an interesting little tidbit, while we’re still on the subject of terrorists and judgment: I thought it might interest all of you to know that Obama would not even qualify to be one of his own secret service men, if he were to apply for the position—not with the questionable background that he has and all the undesirables that he chooses (and then denies) to call his friends. Now, please take a look at these videos:

I have only scratched the surface of the secretive and dishonest life of Barack Hussein Obama and I’m just an amateur writer. Imagine what someone with a background in journalism with ties and friends in the right places could uncover if they were so inclined. But we all know that the left-wing, main-stream media is not so inclined, because they have done everything they could to stack the deck in Obama’s favor, including trying to all but destroy Gov. Sarah Palin and her family.

It’s a disgrace when they label Bristol Palin, the 17-year-old daughter of the Governor, as a “slut” and call her “disgusting” and “irresponsible” because she wants to keep the baby and tag her fiancé, Levi as that “redneck who knocked her up.” What makes it even worse is that when Britney Spears’ 16-year-old, celebrity sister found herself in the exact same position as Bristol, they followed “adorable” Jamie Lynn around and showed pictures of her with her fiancé, that “stand-up guy,” Casey, and finally did a complete story of the “happy family.” (the quotation marks show how they were reported in the news)

Finally, I have another video here that was just too good to leave out of my report. It’s the first in a series of twelve and if you have the time, it would really be worth your while to watch all twelve.

"Obama: Devoted or Devious?"

Is there anyone else out there that thinks that the poignant story we were spoon-fed about Sen. Obama suddenly rushing to his beloved grandmother’s side, all because he was so concerned for her health, was just a little too “touching?” According to the reports, she had recently fallen and broken her hip and needed to be hospitalized.

This, you may recall, is the very same grandmother that Obama disrespected and nationally labeled as “a typical white person,” even after her years of willing sacrifice, love and a singular devotion toward seeing that Obama received an excellent education and was well cared for throughout his life; something that both his father and his mother did not or could not seem to do for him.

With only 14 days left in the campaign, Obama whisked off to Hawaii, but not to his grandmother’s hospital bedside as you would have naturally thought for someone at death’s door, but to her home. Another curious circumstance was the fact that if it was serious enough for Obama to disrupt his entire campaign schedule, having to cancel speaking engagements and rallies because his grandmother was so desperately ill, why did he chose not to take Michelle and the two girls along? It just doesn’t ring true to me; how about you?

Coincidentally, the very same day that Obama made his sudden plans to go to Hawaii, a press release was made by Philip J. Berg, the attorney who filed suit against Barack H. Obama challenging his “lack of qualifications” to serve as the President of the United States because he did not have a valid, certified copy of his original birth certificate and/or an embossed, signed, paper certficate of live birth as verification that he was a natural-born citizen. The fact that Obama has continually ignored the issue and filed for dismissals in court should speak volumes to the American people. Why do you suppose Obama wouldn't just turn these documents in to the courts and make this whole thing disappear? Could it be that it's because these charges are true or is it because he has something to hide?

Currently, there is an appeal that has been filed and is now before the U. S. Supreme Court. The case is Berg v. Obama 08-cv-04083 and is referenced at: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6Glyla5R7B8. I know that there are those that are skeptical about whether this claim could possibly have any validity to it, but let me remind you of one thing: if all the stories that the Obama Campaign and FactCheck.Org have printed about how these charges against Obama are false and ridiculous are true, then why has this suit had enough merit to reach the highest court in the land? If this had all been resolved as Obama wanted you to think it had been, then why do you think he rushed to his grandmother's side? I personally think that he went there to double check that "Granny" didn't leave any incriminating evidence that would prove that he was actually born in Kenya or maybe on board a ship on the way to Kenya, like photos or even the missing birth certificate and certificate of live birth. Obama's grandmother from Kenya is only too happy to tell anyone that she sees that she was there the night he was born in the Kenyan hospital. She's a proud Kenyan grandmother whose grandson is running for President of the United States and she is understandably proud. This grandmother hasn't been asked to lie about that night yet, but time will tell.

FactCheck.Org, you may or may not know, is actually "The Annenberg Political Fact Check Organization" and is a project of the Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania, established in 1994 by Walter Annenberg. They have concluded by examining whatever document they had before them (it's been reported to have been a copy of his half-sister Auma's birth certificate, doctored with PhotoShop imaging to look like an "Obama-original") that it is, in fact, a certified copy of his original birth certificate. See their report here: http://www.factcheck.org/elections-2008/born_in_the_usa.html. One more important note I think I should make is that FactCheck.Org is primarily funded by the Annenberg Foundation. Are you getting clued in to just how "cozy" this all is yet? No? Well, read on.

The name "Annenberg" may seem familiar to you because that "coincidentally" is also the name of the project that Obama was chairman of under guidance from none other than unrepentant terrorist, William "Bill" Ayers. Ayers personally hand-picked Obama to Chair the $100 million "Annenberg Challenge Projects" in Chicago, whose purpose was to reportedly improve schools in the area. Instead of giving money to the needy schools where it would have done the most good, Obama and Ayers chose to distribute the money to pet projects of theirs referred to as "external partners of the schools." Some of the recipients of these funds are as follows: "Peace School," which had a United Nations theme; a project centered around African-American studies; Trinity United Church of Christ whose pastor was the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, known to teach Black Liberation Theology and other divisive, subversive doctrine; and Family Justice Center, where Ayers' wife worked.

During a period of five years, Obama distributed the $60 million per year that was supposed to go to needy schools, to extremist organizations such as ACORN (Association for Community Organizations for Reform Now) whose primary function was to infuse students with their radical idealogy. ACORN is the same organization currently being investigated for voter fraud; the same organization that Obama previously worked for as a "leadership trainer" for their new recruits and also as one of their attornies in the 1995 suit that forced the state of Illinois to implement the federal "motor-voter" bill. In addition, while in his capacity as Chair of the Annenberg Challenge and after, monies were exchanged in contributions to his campaign and he also made sure that they continued to receive funding that they needed.

The same type of conflict-of-interest with regard to campaign contributions and funding being allocated to Annenberg affiliates brings the validity of the FactCheck.Org report into question. Here is the link to another study on the birth certificate that concludes without a doubt that it is a forgery: http://atlasshrugs2000.typepad.com/atlas_shrugs/2008/07/atlas-exclusive.html. The U.S. Supreme Court will have to make the final determination on this one. I'm just wondering: What is Obama hiding?

This is just one more incident to be added to the growing number of misrepresentations, half-truths, secrets, and omissions that have become what seem to be what we can expect from Sen. Obama. Is that what you want from your next President? If not, then vote for honesty, integrity, and for the veteran who laid his life down for our country and our freedom instead. Vote for John McCain for President of the United States, 2008.

Until next time...stay safe, stay well, and may God bless America!
