Serious character issues about Barack Obama have surfaced, at the same time the Zogby poll has McCain pulling in front of Obama for the first time, by 5 points. It is thought the Russian invasion of Georgia has raised serious national security concerns about Obama, and his less-than-stellar performance on the interview with Pastor Rick Warren last Saturday, led to the McCain surge.
One character question is the refusal of Obama to support his half brother George Hussein Obama, who lives in Kenya on $1 per month, in a 6 foot by 9 foot box. Surely the multi-millionaire author, U.S. Senator and presidential candidate, whose wife Michelle's last job paid $370,000 per year, could send $100 a month or so to support his brother.
Another question is about an education program he ran, which was chaired by former Weatherman Bill Ayres, who is married to Bernardette Dohrn. Both were convicted of acts of terrorism during the the Vietnam War protest days. The program showed no increase in test scores in the Chicago schools in which the program was active, despite spending nearly $100 million. There were serious financial questions about the disposition of the funds, as well. The private foundation that funded half the tab, and the federal government the rest, is refusing to release the records of the program.
It has also surfaced that Obama was "elected" to his term in the Illinois State Senate by challenging the nominating petitions of the other candidates in the heavily Democratic district, including the incumbent, and getting them thrown off the ballot. He was then unopposed for the seat. Classic Chicago machine politics.
None of these situations has made headlines in the major news media, and the Obama campaign refuses to answer questions aobut them. The real question is, what would the news media have done if John McCain had done these things, instead?
