Do we really know Barack Obama?

All that glitters isn't gold. Sometimes it is fool's gold.

Obama's resume is thin. He has really accomplished very little, except that he speaks well. He has very questionable friends and benefactors.

I have researched more about this candidate than any other in 40 years of my voting. I don't believe the media have asked him the hard questions at all. What were and are his relationships with Wright, Rezko, Ayers, Odinga? The list goes on.

This is a man who spent 20 years in a church that hates whites and America. He had a chance to stand up in that church for what is just. He did not.

Maybe that is who he was then? But who is he today? He appears to be far too comfortable with those "regular people." A man that when asked impromptu questions stumbles and searches for answers.

Many claim that he is pensive. I feel that if he really answered from his heart he would scare most of us. I do not believe that he has any grasp on what it is like to be a "regular person." That is what he would like you to believe.

As a community organizer did he chum with anybody to accomplish his agenda? As for his foreign and world affairs, he is a neophyte. His economic policies are right out of socialism. Where do you think he is going to get all that money to pay for all those programs? Tax the rich? Be careful - by many standards, it is you?

I do not think it is such a joy to have a presidential candidate with such slim credentials and questionable affiliations. I think it is very sad.
