Obama Friends are Kinda Scary!
Jim Johnson has a history of failures. Advising John Kerry, Walter Mondale and controlling positions in Fannie Mae & Lehman Brothers(1850- Sept 13, 2008). He gained leverage at Goldman-Sachs(a group acting as financial advisor and money manager for governments…around the world), Gannett Company(a large news organization including the Argus Leader), the Brookings Institution(a little questioned research group) and the Trilateral Commission (which includes Alan Greenspan and Paul Volcker, both chairmen of the Federal Reserve). This very powerful man is very rich, and among his friends is Barack Obama.
Johnson makes Ken Lay look like a school yard con. Hiding income and deferring expenses to receive bonuses that would qualify him to pay increased taxes under Obama (if he reported them.) So this guy has influence in advising international governments, international financial institutions, and international businesses, who also has his fingers in one of the largest news organizations which feeds on research from The Brookings Institution. He’s proven he has power and he’s being investigated for corruption. How do you separate yourself from someone like this? Just let him go!?
Bill Ayers a self proclaimed bomber, who was a member of ‘The Weathermen’. Ayers has admitted to “demonstrating” by blowing up buildings and has not shown remorse for the actions. Memberships and committees’ have brought Obama and Ayers together on many occasions. I’m sure they only talked business!
Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Obama’s pastor for 20 years, married Barack to Michelle and baptised their children. He has given many racist and anti-American speeches(”God D*mn America”). And Obama says “He’s not the Reverend Wright I knew.” How long does it take to figure out what kind of person Reverend Wright is?
And finally his vetted vice presidential pick Senator Joe Biden. Two years out of Law school and he found his place in the Senate. If Obama’s platform wasn’t based on Change and Hope, it wouldn’t really matter that Biden has been a Washington Senator for 35 years. Biden is a poor choice for separating yourself from Washington Politics.
Maybe, Obama is one of those guys who just bumps into the wrong people, then tries to help them better themselves. BUT, if he was, would he make them advisors or would he advise them. Would he go along with what they say or risk his relationship to set them on the path he knows is right? Does he know what the correct path is?
Is he trying to change things or just going for the power and money?
The scary part is(if you do a reverse-isle Halliburton scenario) - Jim Johnson would use his influence in the world markets and the media to ruin our capitalist economy. Ayers would push through government controlled education and nationalized health care except for the ‘pigs’. Reverend Wright would take vengeance for our ”racist history”. And Biden would help government programs grow that include the phrases bail-out and regulations. Even if you don’t know it, THAT is scary!
