March - April, 2000

... For Congressman of the 1st Congressional District, the Executive Committee was faced with two very good candidates. As we are not making endorsements but merely recommendations, we felt no conflict in recommending both Bobby Rush and Barak Obama...

Barak Obama is serving only his second term in the Illinois State Senate so he might be fairly charged with ambition, but the same might have be said of Bobby Rush when he ran against Congressman Charles Hayes. Obama also has put in time at the grass roots, working for five years as a community organizer in Harlem and in Chicago. When Obama participated in a 1996 UofC YDS Townhall Meeting on Economic Insecurity, much of what he had to say was well within the mainstream of European social democracy. To volunteer, call 773 846 2262. Contributions may be sent to Obama for Congress 2000, PO Box 497987, Chicago, IL 60649. ...

How much do you want to bet that BHO was working with or for ACORN?

Wow. This is news four days before the election! You’d think he would have used this bit of info to impress NY voters in the primary.

Now, if he’s so proud of his community organizing, why would he keep this secret during his battle with Hillary? And for all the time thereafter? Is this mentioned in his autobiographies?

Barack was doing coke, perhaps after a hard day of organizin’ during this time. Tomorrow is the day to inform America, if they were not aware already, that Barack was a self-admitted cokehead then. Cocaine, you typical white person religious and gun clingin’ fanatics out there. And he says we got problems? What did he not do for the white lines while he was hatin’ the white peoples of the suburbs? How much **** did he **** for coke?

I suggest a new poll:

How many people who early voted and voted for Obama would have changed their minds if they had waited until Nov 4th?

I’ll bet James David Manning of Atlah.org, whose great YouTube sermon on Obama is available here, knows something:

There's nothing new here.

The year as a "community organizer" in Harlem is mentioned in his book, and has been written about elsewhere.

A year after he graduated from Columbia, Obama spent a year as an organizer for the New York Public Interest Group (NYPIRG) at the City College of New York in Harlem.

PIRG is a corrupt college-based Nader organization that supposedly lobbies for environmental causes. "Organizers" are essentially door-to-door fund-raisers, and it has no connection to ACORN.

Barack’s PIRG Past

VERY IMPORTANT!!
Obama was ostensibly very poor going to Columbia on a shoestring! BULLSH*T!
Here we find him a Community Organizer in Harlem! He takes 4 years at Columbia to complete 2 years of sudy since he transferred from Occidental as a Junior supposedly(cant beleve anything this conarist says)
While at Columbia, Obama doesn’t live in Harlem or on Campus! Obama lives ON EAST 94TH STREET!!! THATS HIGH RENT AND HIGH STATUS ADDRESS! WHO IS Paying for This!
Big Questions for RUSH, HANNITY, AND McCAIN!!! TODAY!!
WAS OBAMA FUNDING HIS COLUMBIA DAYS THRU COKE SALES? or WAS A SUGAR DADDY SPONSORING HIS LIFE AT THIS TIME??
