About Obama - Reader comments at The New York Sun

Submitted by Gerry, Mar 18, 2008 04:16

Let us take what we know about Obama:- He served as an undistinguished State Senator, and has served 2 years as an undistinguished U.S. Senator.

Four of his foreign policy advisors (Brzezinski, Power, Malley, and Susan Rice) have strong anti-Israel positions. Power was forced to resign, not because of that, but because she called Hillary Clinton a "monster".

He has been a member of the congregation at the United Church for 20 years, during which time the Pastor has made innumerable anti-American, anti-Israel, anti-white remarks. It was only now that he has been forced into commenting that Obama has "repudiated" these remarks.

Now make one change in his C.V.:- Let us say Obama was a Republican.

How many of his followers would vote for him?
