Presidential Elections 2008

The case against Barack Obama's candidacy to the 2008 presidential election

(October 10, 2008) Missouri Gov. Matt Blunt issued the following statement on news reports of Barack Obama's use of Missouri law enforcement to threaten and intimidate his critics:

"St. Louis County Circuit Attorney Bob McCulloch, St. Louis City Circuit Attorney Jennifer Joyce, Jefferson County Sheriff Glenn Boyer, and Obama and the leader of his Missouri campaign Senator Claire McCaskill have attached the stench of police-state tactics to the Obama-Biden campaign. What Senator Obama and his helpers are doing is scandalous beyond words, the party that claims to be the party of Thomas Jefferson is abusing the justice system and offices of public trust to silence political criticism with threats of prosecution and criminal punishment. This abuse of the law for intimidation insults the most sacred principles and ideals of Jefferson."

In addition to the above, there are mounting negative reports on Barack Obama. They include:

* Obama's Illegal Donations (nypost.com/seven/10062008/new s/politics/barack_took_illegal _donations__gop_132272.htm)

* ACORN, an Organization With Ties to Obama, Steals Votes (marketwatch.com/news/story/rn c-cnn-exposes-how-acorn/story. aspx?guid={E0F68C91-381A-43E8- 9857-D990EFC33B34}&dist=hp pr)

* Obama's Ignorant and Delusional Statements, like, he's campaigned in 57 states (jewishpress.com/pageroute.do/ 36534/In_The_Tank_For_Obama_Ed itorial_Board.html)

* Obama's Association With Terrorist Ayers (elections.foxnews.com/2008/10 /09/weather-underground-victim -says-obama-known-ayers-past/)

* Obama Tried to Stall Gis' Iraq Withdrawal (nypost.com/seven/09152008/pos topinion/opedcolumnists/obama_ tried_to_stall_gis_iraq_withdr awal_129150.htm)

It's mind-boggling enough to think there is anyone in this country who is willing to vote for Obama, it's even harder to understand how Obama ever reached the 50% mark in polls.

Apparently, Americans are susceptible to celebrity-type images to the point where logic and reason go out the window. If you're planning to vote for Obama, here's a quick one-question test to help you sort out whether you're choice is a logical one.

If you were looking to hire a new employee, would you hire someone with the above list of problems in his background? Even if you questioned one or two items, would you feel comfortable with that person? If your answer is yes, you're fooling
