The Door to McCain's Housing Gaffe Swings Both Ways: Part 1
People in Glass Houses Shouldn't Throw Stones: Part 2
-------------------
People in glass houses shouldn't throw stones- "Those who are vulnerable should not attack others. The proverb has been traced back to Geoffrey Chaucer's 'Troilus and Criseyde' (1385). George Herbert wrote in 1651, 'Whose house is of glass, must not throw stones at another.' This saying is first cited in the United States in 'William & Mary College Quarterly' (1710). Benjamin Franklin wrote, 'Don't throw stones at your neighbors', if your own windows are glass.' 'To live in a glass house' is used as a figure of speech referring to vulnerability." From "Random House Dictionary of Popular Proverbs and Sayings" (1996) by Gregory Y. Titelman (Random House, New York, 1996).
Let us examine the many houses Barack Obama has enjoyed.
Barack Obama's primary residence was purchased with the aid of Tony Rezko, a Syrian born corrupt-American (how's that for a hyphenated term?) Rezko a corrupt real estate mogul has donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to Barack Obama. He is also heading to jail in September 2008 for the felonies he committed.
Tony Rezko also purchased the lot next door to the Obama residence in order for the Obama's to extend their yard. How cozy.
The homes of Barack Obama's friends and neighbors are occupied by domestic terrorists William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn. They are also neighbors with Louis Farrakhan, racist leader of the Nation of Islam. Barack Obama's church bestowed their highest honor upon Louis Farrakhan. You can read about that here: Barack Obama's Church Honors Nation of Islam leader.
In addition, to attending house parties with Ayers and his wife Dohrn, Barack Obama enjoyed chairing a board with his neighbor and domestic terrorist. Together, Obama and Ayers doled out money to the Arab-Action-Network, an organization with foreign terrorist ties.
Is it a coincidence that Barack Obama is neighbors with domestic terrorists and the leader of the Nation of Islam, two men so close to Obama's inner circle, two men that declared war on America and called for America's destruction?
The many housing units that Barack Obama secured subsidies for are in severe disrepair.
From the Boston Globe:
(To view content with embedded video visit AmericanAngle)
The buildings of Grove Parc Plaza, in a dense neighborhood that Barack Obama represented for eight years as a state senator, hold 504 apartments subsidized by the federal government for people who can't afford to live anywhere else.
Many rendered uninhabitable by unfixed problems, such as collapsed roofs and fire damage. Mice scamper through the halls. Battered mailboxes hang open. Sewage backs up into kitchen sinks. In 2006, federal inspectors graded the condition of the complex an 11 on a 100-point scale - a score so bad the buildings now face demolition.
Obama's close friends and political supporters profited from the subsidies even as many of Obama's constituents suffered. Tenants lost their homes; surrounding neighborhoods were blighted.
[Some of] those friends are: Valerie Jarrett, a senior adviser to Obama's presidential campaign and a member of his finance committee; Allison Davis, a major fund-raiser for Obama's US Senate campaign and a former partner at Obama's former law firm; Antoin "Tony" Rezko [Yes, the same Rezko that donated hundreds of thousands of dollars to his campaign, this is a mere tip of the iceberg].
Rezko's company used subsidies to rehabilitate more than 1,000 apartments, mostly in and around Obama's district, and then refused to manage the units, leaving the buildings to decay to the point where many no longer were habitable.
Rezko is also connected to Barack Obama AND a former Nation of Islam leader through a corrupt minority business set-a-side scam at Chicago O'Hare Airport. See here:Chicago Scam
The coincidences and degrees of separation are growing and shrinking all in the same corrupt ebb.
In conclusion, not because the list is exhausted; no, the list is much more lengthy than featured here.
For the sake of brevity, we will close the door here, with Obama's House of Worship.
As most of you know, Barack Obama spent more than 20-years in a church that spewed racist, anti-American hate. How hateful was the church that Barack Obama deemed fit to baptize his daughters in? Well, Jeremiah Wright, Barack Obama's former pastor implored a national audience to learn about James Cone the father of Black Liberation Theology the architect of Obama's religion.
"Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him. The task of black theology is to kill Gods who do not belong to the black community. Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal. Unless God is participating in this holy activity, we must reject his love." -James Cone

Thank you Carol. I agree the positive needs to be infused quickly...I'm starting to nauseate my self writing about all the negativity ;-) Politics is a nasty business. Nothing moves the populous like the debate over State affairs and religion...
