Obama’s History Missing: WYSNWYG

A lot of folks are impressed with what Obama says.  That is because he is a very smooth orator.

Obama is a wild card.  Nobody knows his history, what he has done, and what is positions really are because they have either been locked down or not released.

Warning: there is a reason why people hide their histories.  There is a lot of stuff there they don’t want you to know about.

Here is a list of what we do NOT know about Obama.  If you are willing to trust a slick orator who hides his past, you will get everything you didn’t vote for.

Now, here is one thing we do know about Mr. Obama. He seems to feel that the gutter belongs in the White House.

Now, here is one thing we do know about Mr. Obama. He seems to feel that the gutter belongs in the White House.  That is why he gave John McCain the “finger” in a speech today, and why he did the same to Hillary too.

What is the substance of a man who refuses to reveal his history and makes obscene gestures at people he disagrees with in very public speeches?  How will he conduct himself in less-public situations where his actions cannot be known to the public?  Does this behavior deserve elevation to the highest office of the land?

The future of America under Obama, and particularly foreign relations, is indeed a frightful thought.

Mr. Usher is the Senior Policy Analyst for the True Equality Network, and a co-founder and former Secretary of the American Coalition for Fathers and Children (5 years). He served as Secretary of the National Congress for Fathers and Children for five years. He was quoted in the October, 10 1996 issue of Time Magazine as an editor of "The Liberator", the oldest Men's Movement publication founded by Richard Doyle. Mr. Usher organized the three largest protests in the history of the men's movement, including the First Wives Club protests (1996 - 25 cities across America), and the "Bridges for Children" protest (2001 - 225 cities around the world). He drove many legislative reforms, including the first state law requiring downward support modifications for military reservists called into active duty [MO-1991], and the nation's toughest move-away law [MO-1998]. His slogan, "We must now grant to fathers the same right to be in the family as we have granted to women in the workplace", has become an often-quoted standard of the pro-marriage reform movement. | More from David R.
