Answer 1

What's My Line—The Obama Game Show - Bill Wilson - By Bill Wilson, KIN Senior Analyst -


WASH—Jan 15—KIN-- He was born of a Muslim father and an atheist mother, who in his own words was "a lonely witness for secular humanism, a soldier for New Deal, Peace Corps, and position paper liberalism." She divorced when he was two years old and remarried another Muslim living in Indonesia, where the young man was educated in Catholic and Muslim schools in one of the most radical Islamic countries in the world. Though his father and stepfather were both Muslim, he tries to mitigate their religion by saying that by the time his mother married them, they had become atheists. After he was ten years old, he mostly was raised by his atheist grandparents.

The New York Daily News reports that he changed his life in his junior year of college at Columbia: he said he stopped doing drugs, ran three miles a day, and "He went to socialist conferences at Cooper Union and African cultural fairs in Brooklyn and started lecturing his relatives..." After graduating Columbia and then Harvard, he began working in Chicago supporting social programs. He recruited a local United Church of Christ Church on a government-sponsored community outreach. Around 1988, he joined the church because, he says, "that religious commitment did not require me to suspend critical thinking, disengage from the battle for social justice, or otherwise retreat from the world that I knew and loved."

The United Church of Christ is not to be confused with the "Church of Christ." The United Church of Christ, however, supports homosexual marriage, abortion, environmental justice, globalism, the International Criminal Court, the Palestinian movement and believes that Israel is illegally occupying the covenant land. The UCC seems to conveniently justify and legitimize his beliefs that social progressivism is equal to Christ and he writes in his memoirs that his own salvation was not an "epiphany." He reasoned after his daughter asked about life after death, "I wasn't sure what happens when we die, any more than I was sure where the soul resides or what existed before the Big Bang."

His name is Barak Hussein Obama. And he is running for President. He is courting evangelical Christians from the pulpit at Rick Warren's Saddleback church and by using public proclamations reported in the news media. Some Christians are saying he is a Democrat that evangelical Christians can support. Many have suggested that his Islamic and atheist upbringing combined with his social progressive membership in the United Church of Christ make him an outstanding presidential candidate. Others believe he may be a threat to the national security. Will the real Obama please stand up? Jesus said in Matthew 7:15, "Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves."

Answer 2

1. If there is, the Democrats cant seem to find them.

2. All politicians follow party lines instead of asking themselves, " what is good for America?" If they asked that question and followed their hearts, we would be in much better situation as a nation.

3. It could, but most people running for the big offices, like Congress or the President, are career politicians and cant tell the truth with it staring them in the face. Many think we, the tax paying voters, cant make up our minds for ourselves. THEY need to tell us what to do and when and how to do it.

I get offended and think the people need to push thru a law that forbids lawyers from holding elected public offices in Senate and House. I think someone who is not a life long politician should run for President, but couldn't get elected due to the 2 party system we have. All the third party does is spoil the elections by breaking up the votes.

Answer 3

Here is my opinion... yes I think Obama is honest.. as do I think Edwards is honest.. will they get elected? Probably not. I like Hilary because she is strong and I would like a woman to have a chance.. but I think she has baggage and as for honest.. I think she can probably play the lie game as good as the next guy.
I also like Giuliani... but I put him in the same honesty category as Hilary.
However, having said all that.. after Bush, jack the Ripper would look good... I'm just happy there is an election coming.

Answer 4

Barack Obama is the most honest condidate there is in this race. He hasn't been in the senate that long which is good because he has not been able to be made CORRUPT. Barack will lead this country to unity and his selflessness will cause America to become the best it has EVER been.

Answer 5

Of those who have any realistic chance of winning a nomination I would say Obama is probably the most honest and trustworthy.

Answer 6

There are no electable members of the democratic party. There are politicians that thinks more about the country than themselves but they are not in the "big two" parties. Yes it most certainly DOES matter anymore.

Answer 7

1) edwards comes close. he seems better in my opinion

2) I think whenever a politian can seperate personal beliefs from the law s/he is more concerned with the national than themself. obama is religious but supports women's rights and gay rights.

3) it should. I think we should try to make it matter again

its hard to trust any politian though, just gotta pick the one you trust the most

Answer 8

Usama's biolgical father is Muslim. Considering that Jihadists are Americans greatest adversary, the last thing we need is a president with bias that can serve our enemies.

Its unfortunate because otherwise, I like Barrack, although his voting record does match his apperance of open-minded non-partisan thinking.

Answer 10

Perhaps you should identify a candidate who is more trustworthy than Obama then you can make tangible comparisons regarding his trustworthiness.
