At what point does turning a deaf ear to questions about Obama become treason? Why is there no curiosity about Obama’s $600 million windfall? Don’t reporters take pride in being well trained to “follow the money?” We’ve been told it is Internet giving or donors giving small amounts each month that support Obama's campaign. Come on. Even I can smell something amiss. I learned today that Obama does not use a common automatic electronic verifier to see if the same credit card is being used to over and over. McCain uses it. Hillary used it. Why is Obama getting away with this?
Let’s play “What if?” What if Obama has been receiving foreign donations or multiple small donations from the same people allowing them to give more than what is legal? What if Obama does share the same anti-American ideals as Rev. Wright and Bill Ayers? What if Obama plans to compromise America’s sovereignty for some socialistic agenda or something worse? Can the media be sued for dereliction of duty?
Surely there are some democratic media types who still love America enough to forget partisan goals and who are willing to seek answers to questions that have been virtually ignored. The entire world knows that the media is ignoring any hint of Obama’s wrongdoing, and the sad part is that the media doesn’t even care that people think that about them. Perhaps they are afraid of repercussions. Barbara West, news anchor from Orlando, had the guts to ask Biden some tough questions; so what happened? Obama’s campaign sent her station a note cutting off all contact with that station. Is the Obama campaign using fear tactics to keep tough LEGITIMATE questions away?
So many of my friends and acquaintances want to know more about Obama—his connections and his finances, but we can’t get the answers we deserve because the media has failed in its job. We are considered fear mongers or right wing extremists when all we want are answers. (Of course, asking questions nowadays is dangerous as Joe the Plumber and Barbara West will tell you.)
Much of America sees through the wool in front of our eyes, and we plan to show up en masse on Election Day. Since many in the media have no spine at all and are proud of it, and since they won’t answer our questions about Obama, hopefully there will be enough of us to answer “No” to this question: Should Obama be President?
