Why do people blindly follow Obama even though...?

Question

He is friends with terrorists, who declared war on the Unites States and tried to blow up the Pentagon and State building?

He gave 14 million in taxpayer's money to a convicted felon slum lord who then in turn bought Obama's house for him?

Obama leaves his brother to live on less than a dollar a month?

The hardest decision he ever had to make according to him, was to oppose the war in Iraq?

His pastors are blatant racists?

Most of his policies come straight out of a book written by Karl Marx? (if you don't believe me, actually read the book before telling me they don't, because they really do.)

He obviously doesn't have a level head, because if he ever gets challenged he gets mad, and starts talking over the other person?

He has run his campaign on how horrible America is, even telling a little girl that America isn't that great anymore?

He voted that a baby born outside of the womb due to a botched abortion has no right for medical treatment...?

There's many more, but those are just a few. He's not ready to lead, and it's pathetic that people just blindly follow him. He only cares about getting elected, and power. Think about it.

Answer 1

The democrat party has pretty much always supported some oddball candidate. The strategy has generally been to create someone out of no one for several years now. Due to a lack of pertinent issues to run on they lean toward causing havoc among the masses. This has typically included race-baiting, class warfare or simply attacking a sitting republican president even if they have no formal plan to put forth themselves. These days the ultra-liberal left-wing that has funded their candidates also dictates policy. Hamas, Al-Queda and other terrorist organizations are ecstatic over the possibility of a BO presidency. A very scary scenario, indeed!

Answer 2

Surely, you jest. One must first have the power of reasoning and common sense, none of which the cult of Obama has. They refuse to believe the truth even when it is proven over and over. It is just mind boggling to see how low these supposed Americans have gone. They have no love of  country or fellow man. They can only see the ends of their noses and no farther. The only thing they hear is what they think they can get for nothing. They haven't given any thought to who will pay for all these programs or where the money will come from. They are delusional Thank goodness, some of them are gradually awakening from the effects of the koolaid.

Answer 3

I guess for the same reasons many follow "W" and FOX news. It is easier than thinking for themselves.

Of course, most of the rant you wrote about Obama is not true, but you are free to believe it all if you wish.

Answer 4

Just because he is the "popular" choice. This is especially the problem with college students. If you ask most people why they like him they don't really have an answer. They say because he talks about change or that they want to end the war. But this is ridiculous. Change isn't always good if it isn't done right, and you can't just leave in the middle of a war before you have finished. Everyone just believes everything the liberal media tells them and don't question or research anything on their own. Most of his supporters haven't read his books, and if they had they wouldn't support him to begin with because he makes himself look bad in his own words. Ugh and his wife...

Answer 5

Which friend is a terrorist?

He did not know the guy was a slum lord.

Obama`s half brother took the path of him Muslim father.

Obama was almost fooled by fear to vote for the Iraq war.

Most people don`t believe in everything their pastor tells them.

Marx had some good ideas and some bad just like Mussolini who Republicans adore.

That is what a debate is about.

He did not vote for the bill because the fine print would of made all abortions illegal.

You have to do better then this.

Answer 6

they don't...you appear to have obama supporters confused with you lemmings that blindly follow traitors bush & cheney.

Answer 7

I will not  vote for Osama Joe Biden.

Answer 8

THEY ARE BASICALLY SHEEP. THEY ARE DOING WHAT THE LIBERAL ELITE MAINSTREAM MEDIA TELLS THEM WHAT TO DO.

Answer 9

The Obama media is shoving as much of this as possiable " under the bus " but what the Obama media is failing to notice is that more and more uninformed people are seeing what they have been trying to hide and are changing their minds about Obama. Even many of the younger voters are swaying towards McCain.

If Obama doesn't have a lead of at least ten points going into October he's pretty much toast.

Dukakis  and Carter came out of the DNC with an 18 point boost and Carter only won the election by one point.

If Obama doesn't come out with a major point lead and KEEP it. He's in big trouble.

Also,he is not going to gett all of the Hillary supporters which he needs to have to win in November

Answer 10

Because they are pie-in-the-sky liberals - it's pretty much expected

Peace

Answer 11

The true answer is that most of his early supporters assumed he was at least investigated by the press. He ran on change, so 45% of Dems believed he was in their head; like going out with someone because they're good looking and smile at you. If you assume they're at least socially normal, you are attracted to them, and take that leap of faith.

Don't forget that after most of this stuff became more obvious, he had a long dry-spell, losing about a doz primaries. Now these folks have painted themselves into a corner.

What do you do when presented with facts, proving that your beloved candidate is something totally different? It's going to be difficult to break the bond formed on lies.

Again it's similar to any relationship. It's hard to accept negatives about someone you're invested in.

We need to make certain we don't appear to be gloating. It makes it appear that the facts are prejudicial.

Answer 12

The O-man, Barack Hussein Obama, is an eloquently tailored empty suit. No resume, no accomplishments, no experience, no original ideas, no understanding of how the economy works, no understanding of how the world works,  nothing but abstract empty rhetoric devoid of real substance.

He has no real identity. He is half-white, which he rejects. The rest of him is mostly Arab, which he hides but is disclosed by his non-African, Arabic surname and Arabic first and middle names as a way to triply proclaim his Arabic parentage to people in Kenya . Only a small part of him i s African Black from his Luo grandmother, which he pretends he is exclusively.

What he isn't is 'African-American,' the descendant of enslaved Africans brought to America chained in slave ships. He hasn't a single genetic drop,not one ancestor who was a slave.  Instead, his Arab ancestors were slave owners. Slave-trading was the main Arab business in East Africa for centuries until the British ended it. Let that sink in: Obama is not the descendant of slaves, he is the descendant of slave owners. Thus he makes the perfect Liberal Messiah.

It's something Hillary doesn't understand - how some complete neophyte came out of the blue and stole the Dem nomination from her. Obamamania is beyond politics and reason. It is a true religious cult, whose adherents reject Christianity yet still believe in Original Sin, transferring it from the evil of being human to the evil of being white.

Thus Obama has become the white liberals' Christ, offering absolution

from the Sin of Being White. There is no reason or logic behind it, no faults or flaws of his can diminish it. There were no arguments Hillary could make that could be effective against it. The absurdity of Hypocrisy Clothed In Human Flesh being their Savior is all the more cause for liberals to worship him: "Credo quia absurdum", I believe it because it  is absurd.

Thank heavens that the voting majority of Americans remain Christian and are in no desperate need of a phony savior. Having an empty suit as President is absurd!!! His candidacy is ridiculous and should not be taken seriously by any thinking American.

Answer 13

In reporting on abortion-rights opponents’ criticism of Sen. Barack Obama's opposition as an Illinois state senator to bills seeking to amend the Illinois Abortion Law of 1975, the media have promoted numerous myths and falsehoods about Obama and the legislation. In several instances, the media have simply repeated false accusations -- or made the accusations themselves -- that Obama's opposition amounted to support for infanticide. In fact, Obama and other opponents said the bill posed a threat to abortion rights and was unnecessary because, they said, Illinois law already prohibited the conduct supposedly addressed by the bill.

On the August 18 edition of his radio show, Rush Limbaugh claimed that Obama "believes it is proper to kill a baby that has survived an abortion," while right-wing pundit Ann Coulter said that Obama "wants the doctors ... chasing it through the delivery room to make sure it gets killed." Further, author Jerome Corsi claimed that "[e]ven if a child was born, he said the woman still had the right to kill the child in an abortion," and Oregonian associate editor David Reinhard wrote that Obama's opposition was "enabling infanticide." In fact, Obama and other opponents said the bill posed a threat to abortion rights and was unnecessary because, they said, Illinois law already prohibited the conduct supposedly addressed by the bill.

It's been said that, if it weren't for lack of context, there would be no news.

You have to consider the source.

One source of these claims is Jerome Corsi, who has also written that McCain made his wealth through the Mafia and that 9/11 was perpetrated by the Bush Administration.  

Another source of these claims is Jill Stanek, who says domestic violence is acceptable against women who have abortions.  She also supports billboards in Tanzania that say "Faithful Condom Users" in English and Swahili, written next to a large skeleton, to discourage condom use.  She claims that "aborted fetuses are much sought after delicacies" in China to which she added, "I think this stuff is happening."

Nurse Jill Stanek claimed that fetuses that were born alive at Christ Hospital in Oak Lawn, Illinois, were abandoned without treatment, including in a soiled utility room.  The Illinois Atty. General's office, then under abortion foe Jim Ryan, directed the Illinois Dept. of Public Health to conduct a thorough investigation of the claims, because what she was alleging were violations of existing law, supporting Obama's position that Illinois law already prohibited the conduct.  The investigation concluded, "The allegation that infants were allowed to expire in a utility room could not be substantiated (and) all staff interviewed denied that any infant was ever left alone."  Shafer was quick to add that neither he nor the IDPH report concluded that her testimony was untruthful or exaggerated to help advance her anti-abortion views -- simply that their investigation did not substantiate the allegations.

Don't extremist conservatives think it might hurt their cause to put out stuff that's so easily debunked? or do they not think their audience would feel its intelligence is being insulted?

Apparently his oldest half-brother runs an electronics store in Kenya and consults in Washington a few months a year.

His youngest half-brother, George Obama, is a struggling recluse.  He's met Barack twice, once when he was five, and once in '06.  They are indeed strangers.  He was homeless for ten years, so it's not like he was easy to track down.  He is "good with his fists".  A few members of my family I don't deal with because they're just too far gone -- too deceitful, looking for thousands in loans, etc. -- and they're in the same country, so I can relate.  Also, what struck me about the Vanity Fair piece was how embarrassed George is, that he won't normally acknowledge his relation to Barack.  Seems his story appearing in Vanity Fair may be the first George has spoken openly in recent about his relation to Barack.  This suggests to me that, as a result of George's shame and secrecy, that this is the first that Barack is hearing of George's situation.  I think during a short visit, it's easy to talk to a few family members (he has seven half-siblings) and completely miss how poorly the runt of the litter is doing.  George's predicament doesn't seem to have made it into Barack's book, which further supports the view that George hid his situation -- again, not hard to do in a short trip.

The tie all eight of them have is a father who left them all.  They don't share a country or a way of life or even a religion, so I think it's pretty understandable that the ties aren't strong there.

Now George is trying for technical college, to turn his life around.  For all we know, Barack's visit inspired him to stop living the life of a tough.

Answer 14

Stooge is the operative word

Answer 15

He's a democrat and that is racist and political, shame on us.

Answer 16

They do not.

Why do people blindly use talking points that have been proven false many times if entertainers on TV and radio tell them to?

Answer 17

Could you tell us all what terrorists Obama is friends with.  Bush is friends with the Saudi royal family who have been known to fund al queda in their own country.  That is a fact.  It's been known since the 1990's.

And, could you tell us all where and when Obama gave 14 million in taxpayers money to a convicted felon slum lord.  BTW, the man wasn't convicted because he was a slum lord. http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/1/24/...

Can you prove, other than right wing pundits, with real credible information that his brother lives on less than a dollar a month.

Prove that his pastor is a blatant racist.  Many white people go to that church too and they love Rev. Wright.  BTW, even in Obama's books written before he even thought of running for president, if you took time to read them like I did, stated that he didn't always agree with Wright on issues.  And, he has always had problems with Jesse Jackson.  

Could you point to the passage in Karl Marx's books, and which book Obama takes his policies from.

Voting against going to war with Iraq was the right thing to do.  It takes guts to stand up to D.C cons and war mongers who are pushing for a war based on massive amounts of lies being shoved in the face of congress, the senate and the American people.  It could have been political suicide.  But Obama went with his conscious and he was right.  That proves he has far better judgement than hot headed McCain on these issues.

Show us all where Obama has talked over another person.

America is in economic trouble and that is the truth.  That is what people in America know as fact and so does Obama.

No 'baby' is born outside the womb during an abortion proceedure.  Medically speaking there is no such thing as what you described.

Instead of false allegations and parroting the pundits on Fox, why don't you do some of your own research into the matter and get your information straight on all the points you listed. How is it that you can claim these non-truths are truths and we Obama supporters prove it when we say they aren't true?  That makes absolutely no logical sense whatsoever.  I know what you claim is untrue because I've done the research.  Please, do yourself a big favor and go take a logic class.  Seriously, you may not like Obama but at least you would learn how to articulate it in a much more logical and articulate way.

The problem is that America cannot afford another Bush administration that McCain represents.  If you want economic suicide for this country just vote for McCain.

Obama/Biden '08

Answer 18

Stupid people do stupid things and this election proves it.  That's why Buttock Obama is losing this election.

McCain IS our new president.

Answer 19

I can't reasonably see another reason than other that he is black. Some supporters are so eager, too eager to see a black representative in charge of a country that misused blacks as slaves, that nothing he can do is wrong. They purposely close their eyes to his misdeeds, and his hate, in order to somehow try and make America pay for the wrongness done by our forefathers.

The anger they created inside themselves is so great, whether deserved or not, whether there is any punishment deserved by America or not, it does not matter.

This is ludicrous, and wrong, since the citizens of America are not responsible for history, and these same Obama supporters, who will vote for him on this reason, call England friend, forgive them, or just don't know, or care that in fact, England was the largest slave-trader in History, and showed the Americans how to do it.

No American citizen now, is, or was a slave, nor, is or was a slave-trader. The "anger" some people, not just black, but also some Liberals have no right to feel anger, and it is unfounded.

Some might even enjoy a few lynchings of innocent whites. That is how far some people have let their minds go.
