food for thought

I got an e-mail this am, that scared the stuff out of me. Those of us who care so deeply about this nation , and have lost many loved one protecting it, need to read this. We need to think long and hard about the future of our great country. And what those men fought and died for. So please read this, check the authenticity of all the information.If you do I'm sure it going to keep you up tonight. So give me a call----- because I'm sure I won't be sleeping either-------Please keep this Great Nation in your prayers. As will I.

To All My Friends, this is long, but very important, please take the timetoread it.This election has me very worried. So many things to consider. About a year ago I would have voted for Obama. I have changed my mind three times since than.I watch all the news channels, jumping from one to another. I must say this drives my husband crazy. But, I feel if you view MSNBC, CNN, and Fox News,you might get some middle ground to work with. About six months ago, I started thinking "where did the money come from for Obama". I have four daughters who went to College, and we were middle class, and money was tight. We(including my girls) worked hard and there were lots of student loans.I started looking into Obama's life.Around 1979 Obama started college at Occidental in California. He is veryopen about his two years at Occidental, he tried all kinds of drugs and was wasting his time but, even though he had a brilliant mind, did not apply himself to his studies. "Barry" (that was the name he used all his life) during this time had two roommates, Muhammad Hasan Chandoo and Wahid Hamid, both from Pakistan.During the summer of 1981, after his second year in college, he made a"round the world" trip. Stopping to see his mother in Indonesia, next Hyderabadin India, three weeks in Karachi, Pakistan where he stayed with his roommate's family, then off to Africa to visit his father's family. My question -Where did he get the money for this trip? Nether I, nor any one of my children would have had money for a trip like this when they where in college. When he came back he started school at Columbia University in New York. It is at this time he wants everyone to call him Barack - not Barry. Do you know what the tuitionis at Columbia? It's not cheap! to say the least. Where did he get money for tuition? Student Loans? Maybe. After Columbia, he went to Chicago to work as a Community Organizer for $12,000. a year. Why Chicago? Why not New York?He was already living in New York.By "chance" he met Antoin "Tony" Rezko, born in Aleppo Syria, and a real estate developer in Chicago. Rezko has been convicted of fraud and bribery this year. Rezko, was named "Entrepreneur of the Decade" by the Arab-AmericanBusiness and Professional Association". About two years later, Obama entered Harvard Law School. Do you have any idea what tuition is for Harvard LawSchool? Where did he get the money for Law School? More student loans?AfterLaw school, he went back to Chicago. Rezko offered him a job, which he turned down. But, he did take a job with Davis, Miner, Barnhill &Galland. Guesswhat?They represented "Rezar" which Rezko's firm. Rezko was one of Obama's first major financial contributors when he ran for office in Chicago. In 2003,Rezko threw an early fundraiser for Obama which Chicago Tribune reporter DavidMendelland claims was instrumental in providing Obama with "seed money"for hisU.S. Senate race. In 2005, Obama purchased a new home in Kenwoood District of Chicago for $1.65 million (less than asking price). With ALL those StudentLoans - Where did he get the money for the property? On the same day Rezko's wife, Rita, purchased the adjoining empty lot for full price. The LondonTimesreported that Nadhmi Auchi, an Iraqi-born Billionaire loaned Rezko $3.5millionthree weeks before Obama's new home was purchased. Obama met Nadhmi Auchimany times with Rezko.Now, we have Obama running for President. Valerie Jarrett, was Michele Obama's boss. She is now Obama's chief advisor and he does not make any major decisions without talking to her first. Where was Jarrett born? Ready for this?Shiraz,Iran! Do we see a pattern here? Or am I going crazy?On May 10, 2008 The Times reported, Robert Malley advisor to Obama was"sacked"after the press found out he was having regular contacts with "Hamas",which controls Gaza and is connected with Iran. This past week, buried in the back part of the papers, Iraqi newspapers reported that during Obama's visit to Iraq,he asked their leaders to do nothing about the war until after he is elected,and he will "Take care of things".Oh, and by the way, remember the college roommates that where born inPakistan?They are in charge of all those "small" Internet campaign contribution for Obama. Where is that money coming from? The poor and middle class in this country? Or could it be from the Middle East?And the final bit of news. On September 7, 2008, The Washington Times posted averbal slip that was made on "This Week" with George Stephanapoulos. Obama on talking about his religion said, "My Muslim faith". When questioned, "he make a mistake". Some mistake!All of the above information I got on line. If you would like to check it-Wikipedia, encyclopedia, Barack Obama; Tony Rezko; Valerie Jarrett: DailyTimes- Obama visited Pakistan in 1981; The Washington Times - September 7, 2008;TheTimes May 10, 2008.Now the BIG question - If I found out all this information on my own, Why haven't all of our "intelligent" members of the press been reporting this?A phrase that keeps ringing in my ear - "Beware of the enemy from within"!!!Marlene
