Look behind Obama's eloquent lies

It's very frightening that a man like Obama may be voted into the greatest office in the world. His rhetoric, though very eloquent, is all lies. He can't possibly decrease the taxes of 95 percent of Americans because 40 percent of Americans don't even pay taxes. The top 5 percent of wage earners in this country pay 50 percent of our taxes. We should be grateful for them.

There is no way in the world Obama can carry out all the ridiculous promises he's making without raising taxes on everyone. And since when has the federal government recruited and paid teachers? Obama's associations with anti-Americans is of major consideration: Ayers, a terrorist who recently stood on the American flag on the cover of his book and kicked off Obama's political career; the anti-American Reverend Wright whose church he attended and sermons he listened to for over twenty years and then had the audacity to claim he didn't know Wright held such anti-American views; Tony Reszko, now a convicted felon, who helped him buy a $1.6 million house who Obama says was just a guy in his neighborhood.

How many young men with thousands of dollars worth of student loans do you know who can afford a $1.6 million house a couple years out of college? Then there's the fraudulent voter registration organization Acorn, to whom his campaign gave $800,000. Obama wants to dissociate himself from all these people and organizations, but aren't we judged by the company we keep? His "experience amounts to 150 days as a senator, during which time he voted present 160 times.

Don't be fooled by this eloquent speaker. Our country is at stake. And why are our enemies like Castro and Chavez endorsing Obama? Pretty scary.
