Barack Obama, the Preacher and the Terrorist

Obama was not a church going man and he was told by his organizers that in order to gain credibilty that he had to not just join a church but GO TO CHURCH. So he went around looking for a church. And there were black churches that had no use for him since he wanted to deal with community efforts that combined black churches with synagogues and Catholic churches. Black churches wanted nothing to do with that But then he found the Doctor Reverand Jeremiah Wright.”Trinity was for "Buppies"--black urban professionals--and didn't have enough street cred. But Wright was a former Muslim and black nationalist who had studied at Howard and Chicago, and Trinity's guiding principles--what the church calls the "Black Value System"--included a "Disavowal of the Pursuit of Middleclassness.'"“ Yes, you read that right. The New Republic in 2007 said that Wright was a former Muslim of the Nation of Islam type. In 1991 Obama came back to Chicago (after Harvard) served on the boards of both the Woods Fund and the Joyce Foundation, which also gives grants to Alinsky-style groups, and continued to teach organizing workshops. In 2001, the Woods Fund, a Chicago-based nonprofit that describes itself as a group helping the disadvantaged, provided a $40,000 grant to the Arab American Action Network, or AAAN, for which Khalidi's wife, Mona, serves as president. The Fund provided a second grant to the AAAN for $35,000 in 2002. Obama was a director of the Woods Fund board from 1999 to Dec. 11, 2002, according to the Fund's website. According to tax filings, Obama received compensation of $6,000 per year for his service in 1999 and 2000. Obama served on the Wood's Fund board alongside William C. Ayers, a member of the Weathermen terrorist group which sought to overthrow of the U.S. government and took responsibility for bombing the U.S. Capitol in 1971. Ayers, who still serves on the Woods Fund board, contributed $200 to Obama's senatorial campaign fund and has served on panels with Obama at numerous public speaking engagements. Ayers admitted to involvement in the bombings of U.S. governmental buildings in the 1970s. He is a professor at the University of Illinois at Chicago. The $40,000 grant from Obama's Woods Fund to the AAAN constituted about a fifth of the Arab group's reported grants for 2001, according to tax filings obtained by WND. The $35,000 Woods Fund grant in 2002 also constituted about one-fifth of AAAN's reported grants for that year. The AAAN, headquartered in the heart of Chicago's Palestinian immigrant community, describes itself as working to "empower Chicago-area Arab immigrants and Arab Americans through the combined strategies of community organizing, advocacy, education and social services, leadership development, and forging productive relationships with other communities.Again, to reiterate, Barack Obama is not the soft spoken messianic candidate that he appears to be. And if you actually delve into the New Republic article, you’ll see he’s no different than Hillary Clinton, both will do whatever it takes to win. But the big question is which baggage do you want entering the White House, the one who we already know or the one with Muslim and terrorist connections?
