Political Republican Opinion

Although the subject came up here and there during the presidential race, it was largely dismissed by the media and The Political Republican Opinion blog as a far-fetched desperation play by Obama haters. I mean, I didn’t want the guy elected any more than the next Republican, but I was hardly willing to start grasping at straws.

Lately, however, there has been a growing movement to prove that Barack Obama is not a citizen. I have ignored it for the most part as a ludicrous idea promoted by a bunch of wishful thinkers; but, the more the furor builds, the more I begin to wonder myself, “what is this guy hiding?”

During the election, I briefly mentioned Andy Martin’s “Operation Aloha Obama” investigation in a post titled, “Marxist? … Socialist? … Who Is Barack Obama?” Martin’s in-depth investigation pointed out the road blocks that were put up all over our southernmost state in an attempt to hide the President-elect’s true identity (which, according to Martin, is “Frank Marshall Davis Jr.”).

Then there was the article by Stanley Kurtz, showing how the University of Illinois locked up access to the Annenberg Challenge documents that Barack Obama and William Ayers worked on together.

How about the fact that no papers from Barack Obama’s college years have been revealed or the fact that Obama wouldn’t release his medical records?

Quite a disturbing pattern, I must say!

Because the mainstream Liberal media is doing what it has always done – completely ignoring anything that casts a shadow on Barack Obama – the Obama camp has been able to be dismissive. They will continue to hide the secrets about the man until there is public pressure to reveal them. Even then, he has already assembled a team of law firms (no, not lawyers … we’re talking entire firms here) to combat any attempts at getting information about his past revealed.

Maybe there really is something to the whole Obama missing birth certificate thing. If he really has nothing to hide, why wouldn’t he put everything out there for the public record? Then again, I recall the same things being said not too long ago about Roger Clemmons and Barry Bonds – we all know how that turned out!

The common sense side of me reasons that we couldn’t possibly have elected a man who is constitutionally forbidden from holding the office of President. My “something smells fishy here” side, however, believes there very well may be something rotten in Denmark!

The Russian online newspaper Pravda is beginning to think that Americans fell prey to the biggest con-job in US history when they gave unprecedented millions to support a man who may not be eligible to be our President.

Non Sequitur Alert!: I would like to apologize to my loyal readers for my recent lack of posts to The Political Republican Opinion Blog. I’ve been working on a new blog, Find a Wii. It is a silly blog about my triumphs and travesties related to the Wii entertainment system. Sometimes, it’s nice to not take things so seriously

Political Republican Opinion:

The rise in piracy along the Indian Ocean and Gulf of Aden in recent months has given rise to fears that a premature withdrawal of US military forces in Iraq would lead to an explosion of piracy in the region and increased attacks on Iraqi citizens.

During a press conference held in Baghdad yesterday, Iraqi defense minister, Abdel Qader Jassem Mohammed al-Obeidi, warned that if coalition forces “withdraw precipitously, our gulf will become like the Gulf of Aden, where there have been 95 acts of piracy.”[1]

The ever-increasing boldness of the Somali-based piracy rings is apparent. Originally content with seizing fishing trawlers, returning the ships to their owners for a sizeable ransom, the pirates have moved on to bigger, better and more expensive vessels. Cargo ships have been frequent recent targets and now, with the seizure of the Sirius Star, a Saudi oil tanker, it appears that there is no limit to the type of ship that the ruthless mercenaries are willing to count on for their booty.

According to the London-based research organization, Chatham House, the average ransom request is $1 million.[2] An estimated $100 million has already been collected by the marauders this year, alone.[3] The pirates controlling the Saudi oil tanker are demanding $25 million for its safe return. With the cost of the tanker in the range of $148 million and its precious crude oil cargo valued at over $100 million, a $25 million request for the safe release of the crew, ship and cargo are a relative bargain, it would seem.

“What’s this have to do with us?” you may ask.

Close to 20,000 ships pass through the Gulf of Aden every year; it is the main trade route for dry and manufactured goods between Asia, Europe and the Americas. The extra costs associated with bolstered security for these vessels would surely be passed down to consumers if it was at all practical to arm these ships; but, because they are not equipped to defend themselves, many shipping companies have chosen to avoid the Gulf of Aden altogether. Instead, some companies have chosen to take the long route around the southern tip of Africa, which adds an extra three weeks to shipping time. This further increases the costs associated with getting goods to the United States estimated at an extra $20,000 to $30,000 per day.[4]

If the cost to our pocketbooks is not enough, more serious national security issues dwarf those concerns. The pirates have begun using satellite tracking devices, heavy weaponry and intelligence picked up from sources in ports. In an interview on Fox News this morning, former Scotland Yard chief inspector and National Extremism Tactical Coordination Unit (NETCU) Superintendent, Steve Pearl, said the piracy groups are being aided by Islamic fundamentalists who are more than happy to receive kickbacks for their intelligence gathering assistance.

Nato, the United States and numerous European nations have all sent ships to the region to try to stop the piracy. Nevertheless, the number of attacks on merchant ships has increased. South Korea, Japan, and Saudi Arabia are now also considering sending warships to help secure the area.

As the world scrambles for answers to the piracy problem, Iraq is understandably concerned about its own national security. Obeidi said in the press conference that Iraqi territory risks being attacked by neighboring states, referring to Turkey’s bombing of Turkish Kurdish PKK rebels in the mountainous regions of northern Iraq.

“Today, Iraq is the target of bombing from abroad but it is limited because the (US-led) coalition represents a dissuasion force. If it is not there any more, the whole country risks being the target of shooting, even (the southern port of) Basra, and they will justify their actions by referring to information on a PKK base there,” the Iraqi defense minister said.

Obeidi also said his country has turned into “a battleground for different foreign intelligence services,” adding, “Iraqi security forces, backed by the coalition, must impose a limit on their activities, of which Iraqis are the victims.”

One can only wonder if Barack Obama will continue to hold firm on his plan to extricate US troops from the Iraqi arena. As is usually the case, the world looks a whole lot more complicated when viewed from inside the Oval Office. Let’s hope that the people Barack Obama surrounds himself with have the wisdom and experience to guide the inexperienced new President-elect in the right direction and that he has the wisdom to make the right choices.

Political Republican Opinion Blog Guest Writer: Tony Newell

Ask any magician and he will tell you virtually every trick in the book relies, to some extent, upon distraction. Get the audience to look at the right hand while the left hides a quarter, or these days, a giraffe.

Something tells me Savior-Elect Obama knows a thing or two about magic. In fact, it seems he has elevated the art to include the most effective distractive force known to man - his mouth.

He began, at least as a headliner, by telling us his campaign would eschew race altogether, and instead focus on issues that matter to ordinary people. The niftiness of turning hope and warmth and soul-tickling into “issues” aside, Obama’s ability to sell this above-race- shtick to millions of Americans, all while glibly reminding us of how he doesn’t look like those “ guys on the dollar bills” or allowing his disciples in the press to denounce any criticism of him as racist, is nothing short of impressive.

Then Obama, after promising to accept public financing for his general election campaign, decided he would opt out once it was clear John McCain would never match him dollar for dollar. For most candidates, that kind of stunt haunts them through November – but not Obama. An effortless rhetorical tweak and a few more meters about “change” and “politics as usual,” and everything is dandy.

But this we’ve heard. This we know.

Now is when the words begin to curdle. Now is when burden of responsibility manifests substance. Indefatigably, Barack Obama has promised to unite Washington and bring the country and its leaders together in a common cause for hope and prosperity and dandelions.

But, where is this unity?

So far the President-Elect’s strategy has been to stack his staff and cabinet with ardent progressive after partisan liberal, and if there isn’t a sufficiently liberal candidate to fill a position, it goes to a rival. After all, isn’t there an adage regarding the proximity of friends and enemies?

Again, not exactly surprising to Obama’s many detractors. It would appear, in fact, that our forty-fourth President is poised to lend himself quite well to predictability.

With that mentioned, allow me to briefly indulge in a bit of prognostication.

Burdened with the responsibility of, well, responsibility, I imagine Barack Obama is going to have a tougher time keeping the crowd than he had winning it over. A seemingly inevitable nuclear Iran, a schizophrenic economy and a dysfunctional congress to exacerbate it are only the beginning of what the Messiah is going to have to face from the very start.

Granted, it’s been my contention that, from this point on, the current economic atrophy will largely correct itself. However, the threats of Islamofacism and a contumacious Iran will do no such thing. Not only will both threats require sacrifice and resolve, but an audacity that has very little to do with hope and more to do with reality - there will be no more voting “present.”

Given the imminence of geo-political turmoil, Obama’s next sleight of mouth will probably mean an increase in tough talk with Iran; probably to the extent of sufficiently convincing most Americans that he is nobody’s dove and that he really, really means business. This posturing, naturally, will be concomitant with “hard-nose negotiations” with Iran. These negotiations, of course, will take months if not years. After all, some will argue, Obama is a smooth talker, just give him some time.

Eventually, Obama will have afforded Iran enough time to enrich enough Uranium to cross the “point of no return”-that is where an airstrike will result in a catastrophic release of radiation. At this point, any decisive and tolerable military option will be off the table and the game will have changed. President Obama will blame the failure on the previous administration, claiming he never had enough time to halt Iran’s progress, Israel is left to defend itself alone and the discussion in the U.S. immediately shifts to how we will successfully live with a nuclear Iran - assuredly an argument already being perfected by Obama’s “experts” (and one that is completely unacceptable).

Naturally, I, and to be fair many others, could be wrong; and, I truly hope we are. But if not, the next chapter of our American story will be a grim one that all the charm and all the poetry in the world will not ameliorate.

Let’s hope this next President has some other tricks up his sleeve; let’s hope he is saving the real magic for the big stage. But, if what we see is what we get, I fear we are in for a wicked show.

The Political Republican Opinion Blog would like to thank Tony Newell for his submission and welcomes any other writers to send in their Conservative articles to be published, as well (just submit them via the Contact Us page).

Political Republican Opinion:

In an interview earlier this week, US House of Representatives member, Paul Broun, called President-elect Barack Obama a Marxist and likened him to Adolf Hitler. His words could not have been clearer:

“It may sound a bit crazy and off base, but the thing is, he’s the one who proposed this national security force,” Broun told the AP in the Monday interview. “I’m just trying to bring attention to the fact that we may - may not, I hope not - but we may have a problem with that type of philosophy of radical socialism or Marxism.”

Broun’s comments were in reference to a July speech by Barack Obama in which the President-elect called for “a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well funded” as the US military.

Broun told the AP, “That’s exactly what Hitler did in Nazi Germany and it’s exactly what the Soviet Union did. When he’s proposing to have a national security force that’s answering to him that is as strong as the US military, he’s showing me signs of being a Marxist.”

“We can’t be lulled into complacency,” Broun continued, “You have to remember that Adolf Hitler was elected in a democratic Germany. I’m not comparing him to Adolf Hitler. What I’m saying is there is the potential.”

Now, after a sea of protests in regards to the comments, the Georgia representative is backpedaling:

“I regret putting it that way,” Broun told WGAC radio in Augusta, GA. “I apologize to anyone who has taken offense at that.”

Broun added, “The point I tried to make is that he is extremely liberal, he has promoted a lot of socialistic ideas, and it just makes me concerned.”

Don’t you just love it when someone insults another person and then pretends he didn’t mean the insult by saying that he didn’t intend to offend anyone? Isn’t it pitiful when a Congressman slinks away with his tail between his legs?

You said it, Mr Broun, now be a man and stand behind your words. There are surely invertebrates with more backbone than you. If I lived in Georgia, I wouldn’t re-elect you solely on your lack of mettle!

The Obama transition office, however, didn’t seem at all offended by the Congressman. In fact, they had no comments at all in regards to the Congressman’s allegations.

It seems eerily like the shrug given when “Joe the Plumber” challenged Barack Obama for his notion of “spreading the wealth around.” Their indifference to Broun’s words is highly disturbing to say the least!

Political Republican Opinion:

Barack Obama wants every student who wants to go to college, to be able to do it. In order to make that possible, he says he wants to give every college student a $4,000 “college credit” every year in exchange for 100 hours of community service each year. At my college, even the star football players didn’t manage a sweet $40/hour summer gig!

It’s an admirable goal. I mean, don’t we all want any kid who desires to attend college and has the grades for it, to be able to live that dream? Don’t we all also want to help some organization out that is serving the greater good on behalf of our communities? Two birds are killed with one stone here! (Sorry, bird lovers, for the insensitive avicide remark.)

It’s just like healthcare. Of course everyone should be able to see a doctor, have an operation and get whatever subscription drugs that they need. Or how about home ownership. Wouldn’t it be great if we all could afford that dream?

Unfortunately, we live in the real world … a world where things cost money. Doctors don’t work for free. Nor do teachers, construction workers or, for that matter, our elected officials. If we all were handed everything we needed, who would need to work? If no one worked, how would we get the things we needed? Quite the tangled paradox we have here, isn’t it?

Every citizen has been afforded the opportunity to succeed in this country. Both Barack and Michelle Obama claim that they came from very humble beginnings yet somehow, despite living in a country that has what he describes as a “broken system,” they managed to not only succeed professionally, but have become our next president and first lady. How is this possible? Oh, and to paraphrase Barack Obama, did I mention they are black?

I have a funny feeling it has something to do with hard work. Kudos to both Michelle and Barack for beating the odds and becoming successful. The thing is, though, they didn’t really beat the odds. We are all given the same set of dice; each has six sides and two cubes. Some are playing in back alleys and others on imported marble tile, but it’s still the same game; the odds are the same of winning or losing.

Some expect to win, however, while others assume that they have lost before the first throw of the dice occurs. The success or failure of any individual may very well be a self-fulfilling prophesy. If you are told by your parents, your peers, your teachers, your preachers and yes, even your politicians, that you are doomed for failure, that the odds are stacked against you, you are bound to lack the will or desire to succeed and invariably you will not. Even Oprah could tell you that!

If your politicians tell you that you need their help, you undoubtedly will. Why strive to prove them wrong? Why try to be better than they think you are? They are giving free stuff away, right? There’s no reason to succeed.

And who do they want to pay for all of the free stuff? That’s right, the successful people who beat the odds, who refused to take no for an answer; the people who refused to accept failure, who went ahead and rolled the dice; the people who lost game after game before finally getting on a roll; the people who refused to listen to their line of craps!

Then again, maybe I’m wrong. I have been working my butt off my entire life, sometimes working more than one job, and still find myself treading water. Of course, I’ve never made $40 an hour. We don’t have unions here in Florida unless you count Walt Disney World. (Did you ever wonder why tickets cost $65 to get in and why a one dollar hamburger costs six bucks?)

$40/hour is more than $83,000 a year (that’s with no overtime). My wife and I work a combined 100 hours per week and don’t make that combined, yet he wants me to pay that to college students to do volunteer work? I have a better plan, Mr. Obama. My wife and I will both do our patriotic duty and help those organizations in our communities that need assistance for the bargain price of $30/hour. We’ll save the taxpayers money, bring a far more advanced skill set to the table and gladly take home the nearly $125,000. It’s a win-win for everybody!

Political Republican Opinion Quote of the Day: “For the ordinary man is passive. Within a narrow circle (home life, and perhaps the trade unions or local politics) he feels himself master of his fate, but against major events he is as helpless as against the elements. So far from endeavoring to influence the future, he simply lies down and lets things happen to him.” – George Orwell

Political Republican Opinion:

According to WTHR - Eyewitness News, Indianapolis, 375 people who were part of Barack Obama’s “Vote Corps Program” - a group hired to get last-second voters into the polls for Barack Obama - lined up in front of Obama headquarters yesterday, angrily demanding the money they were owed for their services.

Police were called to the scene to control the mob and make sure that things did not get out of hand.

Although all of the people did eventually get paid, many of them were shorted pay for the hours they worked.

“It should have been $480. It’s $230,” complained Imani Sankofa.

“They gave us $10 an hour. So we added it. I added up all the hours, so it was supposed to be at least $120. All I get is $90,” said Charles Martin.

“I worked nine hours a day for 4 days and got paid half of what I should have earned,” said Randall Waldon.

The Obama campaign promised to mail the underpaid workers a check for the amount they were shorted, but quite a few were skeptical.

“They say that they gonna call you or they going to mail it to you, but I don’t know. We’ll see what happens,” said Antron Grose.

“Talking about they’ll mail it to us. I ain’t worried about that, man. They’re not going to mail nothin’,” Martin groused.

Hopefully, Barack Obama makes good on the pay he owes to the people who worked so hard to get him elected. Otherwise, it’s not looking good for the rest of America that are counting on Barack Obama to keep his promises.

Political Republican Opinion:

Congratulations to our new President-elect. The election is over and the country has decided upon Barack Obama as our new incoming President. Out of respect for the position, I have removed the ads for the “NoBama” T-Shirt and the “Obama Nation” book from the sidebar.

I have always believed that no matter what one’s own personal views are, the President of the United States is a person who deserves the utmost respect of the citizens of this country. He is your country to the rest of the world and vulgar attacks on him, whoever he may be, weaken our country in the eyes of other nations of the world.

Before entering the blogging world, I wrote a top-rated article for Helium about this. In that article, I wrote, “It does not matter if you voted for him or not. It does not matter if you agree with all of the President’s decisions. You may not like the way your sister is dressing lately, but you most certainly would not sit idly by as someone calls her a tramp!”

This is not to say that the President shouldn’t be held accountable for things over which he has control. In most cases and in other years, though, I have given the President a pass, since the House of Representatives and the Senate are chiefly responsible for enacting the laws that shape our country’s policies. The President only has the power to veto those Acts and, even in those cases, a President’s vetoes can be overridden with enough Congressional support for any particular bill.

Barack Obama, however, will not have the luxury of being able to blame Congress. The Democrats have a HUGE majority in both houses of Congress. He should have a free pass in getting anything he has promised through the Legislative Branch. Barack Obama has been given the penultimate opportunity to pass with flying colors or to fail miserably.

Only time will tell which it will be.

I have copied his entire website and will be adding a section to my blog entitled “The Obama Report Card.” It will be divided into sections so that visitors to the blog can check on President Obama’s progress in getting the things he has promised that are important to them, accomplished. Each section will have a list and the items on the list will appear in RED until they are accomplished. Once completed, the items will turn GREEN.

I encourage all visitors to the blog to not only check out that list to see how he is progressing, but to remind me of any items that President Obama has accomplished that I have neglected to change from red to green. There is no immediate rush to get the report card section onto the website (yes, I’ve already started it), since it will be another two-and-a-half months until President-elect Obama is inaugurated.

I will continue to criticize the members of the legislature when they are doing something that I see as being detrimental to our country’s interests or to Conservative principles. I, too, reserve the right to respectfully post my disagreements with decisions made by the new President.

Hopefully, President Obama will not receive the same level of disrespect, regardless of the job he is doing, as our current President has and I discourage any who comment on this blog in the future from using discourteous language. I also hope that all of my fears of Barack Obama have been unfounded and that he turns out to be a fantastic President, leading our country to new and great heights.

Political Republican Opinion: Larry Walker forwarded me an excellent post by Michael Graham that appeared on his blog, The Natural Truth. The title of the post is STILL The Question No Obama Supporter Can Answer. The post compares the incredibly intelligent argument that Charles Krauthammer has laid out for why he is voting for John McCain and compares it to the sophomoric one that the Boston Globe-Democrat lays out for Barack Obama. The author then goes on to lay out his own unique perspective. My favorite part of the piece is where Michael Graham writes: “How can you vote for a man who chose, every Sunday for 20 years, to attend a racist, anti-Semitic, anti-American church run by a lunatic? Sunday after Sunday, even the Sundays after 9/11, this man - this free moral agent - made the decision, “You know where I belong today? Listening to the racist rantings of Rev. Wright. Honey, grab the kids and let’s bring them too!” I have already asked this question of many of my Democrat friends and (I cringe to admit it) family members. Mr. Graham is correct; it is a question for which there is no good answer. They may be able to blow off the role that Wright played in the lives of Barack and Michelle Obama, reasoning that they were adult enough to separate the hatred from the sermons. All of them agree that the children should not have been exposed to this, however. Barack Obama sees no problem with it, however. After all, his indoctrination began at an early age, too!

Political Republican Opinion:

The time has come to get out and vote. I have done all that I can to inform readers of the facts that have not been reported in the mainstream Liberal media. For the most part, I have been preaching to the choir.

Now is not the time to stifle your voice; it is not the time to lie down and let the United States of America become transformed into a Socialist welfare state. Although it may not seem like it, your lone vote counts. Your single voice when joined by millions of other voices makes the Republican Party the most powerful choir in the world.

We can prevent a new director from taking the baton and snapping it in half. This man does not want to hear you sing; he doesn’t like our songs. He prefers “La Marsseillace” and “Das Deutschlandlied.” We can keep Barack Obama from stifling our voices, but we need to let them be heard now, more than ever before.

John McCain wound up his nomination speech at the Republican National Convention with the following words:

“I’m going to fight for my cause every day as your president. I’m going to fight to make sure every American has every reason to thank God, as I thank Him: that I’m am American, a proud citizen of the greatest country on earth, and with hard work, strong faith and a little courage, great things are always within our reach.

Fight with me. Fight with me.

Fight for what’s right for our country.

Fight for the ideals and character of a free people.

Fight for our children’s future.

Fight for justice and opportunity for all.

Stand up to defend our country from its enemies.

Stand up for each other; for beautiful, blessed, bountiful America.

Stand up, stand up, stand up and fight. Nothing is inevitable here. We’re Americans, and we never give up. We never quit. We never hide from history. We make history.”

Barack and Michelle Obama, on the other hand, have denigrated the United States of America and have expressed the shame they feel for this country on numerous occasions. From Rezko to Wright to Khalidi, from Ayers to Farrakhan to ACORN, the people they have chosen to associate with for the past twenty years shows a very clear picture of who they really are. They do not like this country. They sing a different song. As the Reverend Wright has said, “it’s not ‘God Bless America’ … no, no, no … it’s ‘GOD DAMN AMERICA.’”

John McCain has fought for this country; he loves this country and sings its praises every day. It is time to join McCain and let his song be heard. We can fix the broken things in this country. We can right the few wrongs. The fundamentals of the United States of America are strong and have made it the greatest country in the world since its beginning.

That strength starts with you. The mainstream Liberal media has tried to convince you to stay home, that the race is already lost. They have told you that the Republicans will lose all of their vacating seats to Democrats and that a super majority is going to happen in the US Congress. They have told you that Barack Obama has already won.

Don’t let the biased media fool you! The fat lady is sleeping off her last big meal. It’s time to let your voice be heard. It’s time to vote, not just for John McCain, but for every single Republican on the ballot. We have the numbers. We can claim this country back!

Political Republican Opinion:

Every poll seems to indicate that there are still a significant amount of “undecided” voters out there. Personally, I believe that “undecided” is really a euphemism for “apathetic” and that the majority of these people are not going to be voting at all.

If you are undecided and do intend to vote, the only reason that I can fathom that you have not made a decision is because you are unsure of who the candidates are and what they really stand for.

I imagine that undecided voters are pretty sure who John McCain is. They may not agree with all of McCain’s policies (neither do I) and may be influenced by the Obama campaign’s negative attack ads that paint him as too old or too “big business.” They may be unclear of what McCain’s health care plan really is (I don’t blame them; he hasn’t explained it very well). There are undoubtedly other issues that may be holding them back from voting for John McCain. They can put a finger on those issues at least, and name them.

Barack Obama, on the other hand, is an enigma. His message is positive and encouraging but his words are measured; his promises, vague. His campaign has been polished and perfect but there is something about him that many undecided voters are uneasy about. They want to vote for him, but one thing is holding them back. That one thing is trust. They do not know who the man really is because the media has protected him and has not done a proper job of vetting him for this country’s most important position.

Many people have written snippets about Barack Obama’s background. Extensive research has been attempted and many doors have been slammed in the faces of those who have tried to pry too far into Barack Obama’s past.

A commendable effort at combining those snippets into a thorough history of Barack Obama has been made by Dr. Kate, a guest author on Texas Darlin’s blog. Her article, “The Trojan Candidate,” is an extremely thorough look at the life of Barack Obama.

There are many significant quotes in the article. The one that made the hair on my neck stand up was one by Saul Alinsky, a transformational Marxist who is credited with developing the seditious role of community organizing. In his book, “Rules for Radicals,” Alinsky defined precisely the role of a community organizer as he saw it:

“It was Alinsky for whom ‘change’ was his mantra. And by ‘change’, he meant a Marxist revolution achieved by slow, incremental, Machiavellian means which turned society inside out. This had to be done through systematic deception, winning the trust of the naively idealistic middle class by using the language of morality to conceal an agenda designed to destroy it. And the way to do this, he said, was through ‘people’s organisations’. Community organisers would mobilise direct action by the oppressed masses against their capitalist oppressors.”

I warn you, “The Trojan Candidate” is not a short piece. If you are one of the apathetic undecided voters, don’t even bother clicking the link to the well-constructed and detailed article. If, on the other hand, you are one of the undecided voters who are on the fence, one who will be voting but need a little more background into who Barack Obama really is, I implore you to take the time to better inform yourself. The future of this country may depend on you!
