Dear Susan,
This email is very difficult for me to write. I am a forty-five year old woman that at first was interested in Obama and thought I could see myself voting for him if Hillary did not win the nomination.
I set out to do my due diligence, researching the background of this inspirational man. Unfortunately, what I found has been very disquieting.
Obama has repeatedly chosen to associate himself with dubious people and seems to have actually sought them out to help further his political career. People like Tony Rezko. Jeremiah Wright. Nadhmi Auchi (Saddam oil for food scandal). Frank Marshall Davis (Communist). Louis Farrakhan. Reverend James Meeks. Cousin Odinga. William Ayers, who, besides bombing the pentagon, actually paid Obama to be director of one of his "charities" for many years.
Obama tried to diminish the connection, but in fact, he cannot – he was essentially employed by Ayers. Obama made a very hinky deal with the devil on that house he lives in, and it will come back to haunt him.
Obama's wife seems to be a very angry person that appears to only see the worst in our country. Could it be something that she picked up while listening to the vitriolic, hate-filled speeches of Jeremiah Wright in her church?
The church that Obama is still a member of is one that believes in a "Black Value System" that follows the teachings of James Cone. If you research Cone's idea of Black Liberation Theology, it is a victim-based marxist theology that engenders distrust and resentment towards white people. It is a world we are trying to leave behind as a country and the fact that Obama still is a member tells me all I need to know about him. His emergence out of the cesspool that is Chicago politics, makes it impossible for me to believe that he is not already corrupt, and his wishy washy positions on healthcare, banking industry reform and nuclear power make me suspect that he is being propped up by big business interests.
Obama is far from a uniter, in fact, he has managed to divide nearly everyone in the democratic party - and that with the complicity of the top echelon of the DNC, which is doing its darnedest to lance the working class whites from the party by proclaiming that they don't really need them to win. The willingness at all costs to throw one of the best candidates the party has ever seen off the train is emblematic of what women in this party feel is being done to them. Party members that think we will just pull the lever for Obama in the fall are smoking the hopium. Many of us will never, never, ever, vote for Obama. At least we know that McCain has experience and is a true patriot.
It is definitely time for a new party to rise to power…one that is centrist with true democratic values and a platform of compassion and that is a champion of the working class that makes this country great.
As soon I have voted in Oregon, I will be changing my affiliation to independent. I do not recognize the democratic party as sharing my values any more. Maybe next election cycle will see the emergence of a true viable third party. I do not want to vote Republican, but it won't keep me from writing in Hillary Clinton in the fall.
