A Note to My Friend on Barack Obama

Here's an email I just wrote to my friend who thought that Kentucky voters were being "racist" when they voted for Clinton. I believe we need to start countering the disinformation, one person at a time, if need be:

Just a note on politics for a moment. I am working very hard right now to support Hillary in winning the Democratic nomination, despite all odds. I don't think she's perfect (she's a politician), but I think she is smart, capable, and I want to see a woman president. I have been extremely upset at the media bias for Obama and I have been online "blogging for Hillary!"

When you say things such as "Kentucky voters just don't like black people" in response to her win there, you are repeating a race-baiting talking point put out by the Obama campaign to silence opposition to him due to political correctness. It is divisive, and untrue.

Sure, there may be a small number of voters who don't vote for Obama because he's black, but it's also fair to say that a large number of African-Americans aren't voting for Hillary because she's white and he's black.

I've done a huge amount of research on this. People in blue collar states aren't racist. They aren't responsive, however, to a man who discounts them as "bitter" and clinging to religion. (That was a huge mistake on Obama's part.) Furthermore (and I've been on tons of blogs and boards reading comments), people are concerned that Obama does not have the experience or judgment to be president.

There is also a huge backlash against Obama by women who feel that Hillary has been shafted due to sexism, and a media that has been trashing her for months and months while putting Obama up on a pedestal. This is now a movement. Women across the nation are pledging to leave the Democratic party and not vote for Obama in November, as a protest to the Democratic National Committee at the poor treatment of Hillary by party leaders, who do not seem to be listening to many of their female constituents. I am one of those women, and I will leave the Democratic party if Hillary is not on the ticket for November.

Consider: Right now, Hillary Clinton has won the popular vote in the Democratic primaries. Obama only seems like he has a mandate, but he does not. He has won more delegates due to a screwed up system that somehow gave him more delegates in Texas even though she won there, that rewarded him with more delegates from smaller states than larger ones. The caucus states, where he mostly got his lead, were not Democratic elections but group elections where mobs ruled and Hillary supporters (generally, older women as opposed to young college students) felt bullied and pushed out of the process (I've heard this time and time again). If you had a day job, a kid to raise, or some sort of scheduling conflict, you would not have been able to appear at the caucus. How democratic is that? Not at all.

Furthermore, Obama is not the liberal populist he claims to be. Liberals back him because they believe he's anti-war and therefore a "good man." I believe Obama just follows the wind and whatever talking points benefit him at the moment. I've done my homework on him and he has a background where he's supported and legally defended slumlords who took taxpayer money to build shoddy housing where the poor people in Chicago didn't even have heat in the winter. Obama doesn't even care about the poor people in Chicago...and I'm supposed to believe he really cares about our soldiers and the people of Iraq?

You have to ask yourself, how did this man come out of nowhere to become such a media darling and have so much money in his campaign coffers? (Let's acknowledge, that African Americans aren't the richest people in the world, and neither are college students.) Well, here's where Obama's backing comes from, which is in direct conflict with his suggestion that he's beyond lobbying or "politics as usual":

Ultimately, I believe the money trail speaks for itself. For whatever reason, powerful interests have decided to back Obama as the Democratic nominee. Some go so far as to say this is a conspiracy by the global elite to keep the Clintons out of the White House. I can't say for sure what's going on, but something is fishy here. I've actually seen Democrats report that when they've called up certain Democratic party representatives to complain about all this, they've let it slip: "This was supposed to be all over by now." As if they had expected Hillary to drop out long ago.

Sorry to write so much about this, but I'm working hard right now on countering the disinformation campaign that has made Obama out to be this untouchable Messiah of the Left. He is not. Please consider that most American voters are not outright racists so much as patriots who are very concerned about having a charismatic, untrustworthy man get into the White House and put his finger on the button.

Even if you disagree with me, I hope you will at least see that there is more to this story than meets the eye.
