Presidential candidate Barack Obama has written 2 wonderful books. Why hasn't he got his message of hope out?

Question

I wonder why his message hasn't gotten out to the Media and to the General Public. Is this the fault of his campaign or the media?

Answer 1

It is getting out, why do you think is polling second for the nomination? What is holding him back is his lack of experience and the fact that it is still early in the campaign process, people don't know him as well yet.

Answer 2

The problem is that most people would rather rely on the media to inform ( and mold) them. Come on folks, even if you don't like him or vote for him, you should at least take some time to read and listen to what he has to say. Isn't a good idea to know what your political adversaries think so you can come back with educated responses that are not influenced by media sources ?

Answer 3

I don't know. I find it surprising myself, considering Obama raised 35 million dollars in the first quarter. You'd think with that kind of money it'd be easy to get your word out. Maybe he lacks the kind of grassroots support that really gets the word out.

What I find truly amazing is how Congressman Ron Paul (the ONLY Republican presidential candidate who will pull us out of the half-trillion dollar a year Iraq war, voted against that war to begin with and voted against the Patriot Act) has been as successful as he has in getting his message out, despite the fact that he had less than a million dollars cash on hand in March. Look him up on YouTube. Google him. His supporters have a fire and intensity that Obama's most likely lack.

If you're serious about spreading the message, the best way to do it is to congregate with like-minded people, get out there, and ACT.

Answer 4

There is no hope in obama, he is a deceiver, and apparantly he has you hook line and sinker. The man is not only a fraud, but a liar. Wake up before you make a bigger fool out of your self, as far as "best sellers" yeah right, best compost would be more like it.

Answer 5

The general public arent building the funds he's collecting & that scares them...he's just showing the same ole politics of helping the rich

Answer 6

I'm going to have to agree with Lil Debunker and Red State Randy.

Quote: "He belongs on the cover of Tiger Beat" lol thas funney

Answer 7

He is a good man but still corporate bought. He is still a member of the CFR as is BUsh and CLinton. Don't be fooled. He isn't presidential material. Not because he is black, but he just isn't a leader. He is a puppet.

Answer 8

People with good messages do not necessarily make good presidents.

Look at who we have now. He had a good enough message to fool the American public (twice). Yet, he has delivered on next to nothing.

Answer 9

Americans who would benefit the most from reading his books don't take the time to educate themselves or read. Despite how "educated" we all pretend to be, only 10-15% of Americans should be considered "intellectuals".

Answer 10

Because the guy is a moron....-- 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."
