Who Is Barack Obama?

Anybody who doesn't think John McCain can defeat Barack Obama by focusing on real issues is somebody who hasn't seen Citizens United's latest documentary tour de force, "Hype: The Obama Effect."

On the heels of successful documentaries a) answering Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 451," b) criticizing the United Nations, c) exploring with Newt Gingrich this nation's history of acknowledging God in the public square, and d) taking the fight to Hillary Clinton, CU's David Bossie now has produced a superlative, fact-heavy analysis of Barack Obama's record, rhetoric, ideology and inclinations. Granted, "Hype" includes no interviews with anybody left of the political center-right, so the opinions in it are predictably expressed from a conservative perspective. But facts are facts, and "Hype" outlines a bevy of them in a manner that should compel any fair-minded viewer to wonder if Obama is anywhere even within sniffing distance of the broad American political mainstream.

The establishment media, Bossie says, have not spent nearly enough "questioning who Barack Obama is, what he stands for, and if he is ready to lead America.... There are very few places where the full record of Barack Obama is available."

The film premiered in Denver during the Democratic Convention and in Minnesota during the GOP confab, and is premiering Wednesday and Thursday of this week in Phoenix and Seattle. But perhaps the people who need to see it the most are the high commanders of John McCain's campaign -- because commercials about lipstick and celebrity and "disrespect" of Sarah Palin will wear out their welcome rather quickly.

Without rehashing the film point by point, suffice it to say that even a sober, unhyped look at Obama's record and issue positions should make the Democratic nominee unpalatable to Middle America.

I agree that 'commercials about lipstick and celebrity and "disrespect" of Sarah Palin will wear out their welcome rather quickly.' We should beat Obama on the issues and on his record of associating with people like Ayers, Rezko, and Wright.

I still say Obama’s Achilles’ heel is voting against a person’s right to defend himself when a crook broke into his home. If the public knew about that vote, he’d be toast.

There is enough on Obama's record to say exactly who Obama is. All his mentors were rabid American-hating communists/black racists. Obama goes over to Germany where Reagan gave the Historic 'tear down the wall' speech and dishes America. Obama has no respect for the American flag, he voted to protect flag descration, he paints over the flag on his plane, he does not put his hand on his heart during the National Athem, he makes a point out of not wearing the flag pin. Obama tried to surrender in Iraq and told us the surge would fail. Obama tries to interfere with troop withdrawls in Iraq for political gain. Obama wants to destroy our capitolistic economy by creating a massive redistribution scheme.

And hit Obama where it really hurts....his patriotism.

“...answering Michael Moore’s “Fahrenheit 451...”

Wasn’t “Fahrenheit 451” a story by Bradbury made into a movie by Truffaut starring Oscar Werner and Julie Christie?

He doesn't have any except maybe to Karl Marx!

[null and void]

WE will beat Obama on the issues and on his record of associating with people like Ayers, Rezko, and Wright.

0BAMA will beat 0bama with his commercials about lipstick and celebrity and "disrespect" of Sarah Palin.

Really? Who is he? Does he even have a valid birth certificate?

Who is Barack Obama ?

A man child in the steps and the spirt of the Saul Alinsky, stop at nothing - “the end justifies the means”

Who is Barack Obama?

Barack Hussein Obama is a sexist pig, son of Barack Hussein Sr, a Kenyan goat herder, Grandson to a Muslim Polgamist , brother to a Narobi slum dweller George Obama , and grandson to a "typical" White Grandmother.

Barack Hussein Obama raised by a Muslim Step-Father by an aethiest Mother in Thailand, moved by to Hawaii where he was able to experiment in drugs and smoke pot while his John McCain was a POW in Vietnam.

Barack Hussein Obama has a degree in International Relations, so that is why he became a "community Organizer" in Chicago and worked in organizing a slum like community there.

He Married , joined a church that preached hate about Whites, and anti_American sentiment. A church that just adores Lewis Farrakahn.

And Now that guy who has been a senator for a few years wants to run our country, but his pals Rezko and the one who bombed a building have all fallen aside.

He is a Presidential Candidate that needs a teleprompter to read his message from George Soros

And now The sexist Pig has a pal in Chicago who just hacked Sarah Palin's yahoo mail account.

I am sure I missed a lot of details on Barry, but you know the story.

He is an absolute trojan horse muslim jackass!

Thanks - I didn’t know about this, it’s worth checking out for distribution.

And, taking a page from Gingrich's research showing that Americans overwhelmingly support English language instruction and requirements, the McCain team would be wise to highlight Obama's sneering hostility to English preferences in law.

This is a splendid suggestion, but it might cost McCain both votes he might otherwise get from the La Raza crowd.

Reviewed and posted around to those I know. Thanks.

I pray that this and more 'facts' about BO can out before election day.

[nclaurel]

It is a great look at Obama. We bought several copies to give away.
