Truth About Obama’s Qualifications and Experience
John McCain can speak in truth about his experience in politics, amendments, policies and being a dedicated servant for the United States.
On the other truth for Obama, you have very little or no experience in politics. The truth be told that he wrote books, but just what information did he neglect to provide that speaks the whole of the story?
There is a very important article today at Newsmax.com on just this subject. You can read the entire article at:
newsmax.com [Ronald Kessler Obama Article]
The article brings to light the often truth that goes unsaid.
For example, in Obama’s book a quote from
Ronald Kessler at newsmax.com states the following:
“Before being
elected to the Illinois state Senate, Obama worked as a
community organizer and a lawyer in Chicago.
In his memoir, Obama says being a
community organizer taught him how to motivate the powerless and
work the government to help them. His chief example is an effort
to remove asbestos from Altgeld Gardens, an all-black public
housing project on Chicago’s South Side.
But those who were involved in the
effort say Obama played a minor role in working the problem and
never accomplished his goal. A pre-existing group at Altgeld
Gardens and a local newspaper, the Chicago Reporter, were
working on the problem before Obama came on the scene, yet Obama
does not mention them in his book, “Dreams From My Father: A
Story of Race and Inheritance.”
“Just because someone writes it,
doesn't make it true,” says Altgeld resident Hazel Johnson, who
had been pushing for a cleanup of the cancer-producing substance
years before Obama showed up.
Rep. Bobby L. Rush, D-Ill., says it was
Johnson's work, along with asbestos testing by the Chicago
Reporter, that got Chicago officials interested in the issue.
Rush, who launched an inquiry into the situation when he was a
member of the Chicago City Council, says he is “offended” that
Obama did not mention Johnson in his account.
“Was [Obama] involved in stuff?
Absolutely,” says Robert Ginsburg, an activist who worked with
Johnson and Obama on the problem. “But there was stuff happening
before him, and after him.”
After three years working as an
organizer, Obama could say he helped obtain grants for a jobs
program and got asbestos removed from some pipes in the project.
But as the Los Angeles Times has noted, the “large-scale change
that was needed at the 1,998-unit project was beyond his reach.”
To this day, most of the asbestos remains in the apartments.
Fruitless though his efforts were,
Obama devoted more than 100 pages to his experiences at Altgeld
Gardens and surrounding areas. Michelle Obama has said his work
as a community organizer helped him decide “how he would impact
the world,” assisting people to improve their lives. Yet, in a
revealing passage in his book, Obama wrote, “When classmates in
college asked me just what it was that a community organizer
did, I couldn’t answer them directly.”
Instead, he said, “I’d pronounce on the
need for change. Change in the White House, where Reagan and his
minions were carrying on their dirty deeds. Change in the
congress, compliant and corrupt. Change in the mood of the
country, manic and self-absorbed. Change won’t come from the
top, I would say. Change will come from a mobilized grass
roots.”
Thus, Obama admitted that he
accomplished little but that he was able to cover that up with
fancy talk about change.”
…………………………………
Yes, it is true, Obama went to Harvard
Law School; however, it apparently provided more in speaking
than in actual experience, per noted statements in Ronald
Kessler’s article. An excerpt from the article reads, ““Over the
nine years that Obama’s law license was active in Illinois, he
never handled a trial and mostly worked in teams of lawyers who
drew up briefs and contracts in a variety of cases,” according
to David Mendell’s “Obama: From Promise To Power.”
A review of the cases Obama worked on
during his brief legal career “shows he played the strong,
silent type in court, introducing himself and his client, then
stepping aside to let other lawyers do the talking,” the Chicago
Sun-Times has reported.
“A search of all the cases in Cook
County Circuit Court in which Obama made an appearance since he
graduated from Harvard in 1991 shows: zero,” the article said.
Instead, his practice was “confined
mainly to federal court in Chicago, where he made formal
appearances in only five district court cases and another five
in cases before the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals — a total
of 10 cases in his legal career,” the paper said. “
…………………………………
Contrary to Obama’s colorful representation of himself, as one who brings together his state and Senate agreements on political issues; Obama misplaced and mislead his accounts.
In fact, it appears that Obama had a very second-rate record. Most candidates have contributed more to politics than the run of the mill middling attempts of his efforts.
What has me so upset is that most all of the reporters do not write the truth about Obama.
The truth is that Obama has speaking and political skills; however, that should never take away from the truth of his experience and qualifications.
Ronald Kessler states it as follows in his newsmax.com article.
…………………………………
“If Obama had virtually no impact as
either a community organizer or as a lawyer, he was even more
invisible in the state Senate and later in the U.S. Senate.
In both bodies, Obama had a reputation
for voting “present,” thus avoiding controversial decisions that
could be used against him later. In the U.S. Senate, he has
missed more than one in five votes.
Only one of the measures Obama has
sponsored as a U.S. senator was enacted: a bill to “promote
relief, security, and democracy in the Democratic Republic of
Congo.”
Contrary to Obama’s portrayal of
himself as a unifier, on every bipartisan effort in the Senate
to forge compromises on tough issues, Obama has been missing in
action.
In sum, it would be difficult to
imagine a more mediocre record. Most candidates for dog catcher
have contributed more to society. Yet with the help of adoring
reporters, Obama has managed to parlay extraordinary speaking
and political skills into a presidential campaign built on sand.
The idea that America might entrust its
security and future to someone who has never demonstrated an
ability to get anything of significance done is scary.
Look for John McCain to begin
exploiting this vulnerability after Labor Day”.

I certainly hope that the United States of American Voters will be able to find the truth out about Obama. It may be difficult as most reporting simply does not provide the exposure for McCain in the same fashion that they do for Obama.
Even when an article is printed about McCain, the reporting source and writer swings around into information on Obama.
The media is becoming too powerful in reporting on what they think, like and want the American public to read.
Any person that votes for reasons that are not a benefit to their country; or for a candidate that lacks true experience and qualifications for a President as commander-in-chief of the country and armed forces is close to representing a loyalist to their hearts desires; which in the long run is injurious to their nation as well as to them self.
For example, read Obama’s books and you will learn that he states in his actual words that if he had to choose between Christianity and Muslim, his choice will be Muslim.
What more would anyone need to know than for 20 plus years Obama frequented and patronized Reverend Wright’s ideas and beliefs.
Expect the White House to be renamed the “Black House” if Obama is voted in as President for they represent the racist congregation.
I am not the racist! I wish to vote for qualifications versus voting for race; this choice does not make me a bigot.
I care about my country; and, I hope all Americans will learn
as much about who is the most qualified candidate; and should be at the top most leadership position.
REMEMBER 9/11
and the hurt, anger and fear we felt on that day and for weeks and months after.
Terrorists are real and will continue to attack our land and our FREEDOM unless we face the truth in our lives that we need a strong and qualified President as commander-in-chief of the country and armed forces.
I hope you are listening…… to the sounds of your intelligence; and, you vote for qualifications and not for race or who you would like to see as a President, but for who is the most competent, skilled, trained and best adept including accomplishments.
To Be Continued………
