02/01: Obama Making Striking Progress with the Iowa Democrat Structure
Category: Politics
Posted by: an okie gardener
Earlier I took notice of Obama picking up the endorsements of 20 Democrat County Chairs in Iowa.
Now I see that Obama has the endorsements of the current and of the former mayor of Des Moines (capital and largest city in Iowa).
Will this swing the caucuses his way? I don't know. But, I think I know this. Obama's ability to pick up significant support from within the Democratic Party Organization in Iowa demonstrates both a strong and effective campaign, and more importantly, the weaknesses of Clinton and Edwards. Edwards has invested heavily in Iowa for over four years, since he last ran; the Clintons have been trying to sew up support for Hillary among Democrat politicians for nearly that long. And while they have significant numbers of supporters, along comes Obama and makes inroads in a relatively short time. We'll know soon what difference this makes.

Who is Barack Obama? You've got to read this.
Now a U. S. Presidential candidate, Barack
Hussein Obama was born in Honolulu , Hawaii ,
To Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., a black MUSLIM from
Nyangoma-Kogel, Kenya and Ann Dunham, a white
ATHIEST from Wichita , Kansas .
Obama's parents met at the University of
Hawaii .
When Obama was two years old, his parents divorced.
His father returned to Kenya His mother then
Married Lolo Soetoro, a RADICAL Muslim from
Indonesia.
When Obama was 6 years old, the family relocated to
Indonesia . Obama attended a MUSLIM school in Jakarta
He also spent two years in a Catholic school.
Obama takes great care to conceal the fact that he
Is a Muslim. He is quick to point out that, "He was once
A Muslim, but that he also attended Catholic school."
Obama's political handlers are attempting to make
It appear that Obama's introduction to Islam came
Via his father, and that this influence was
Temporary at best. In reality, the senior Obama
Returned to Kenya soon after the
Divorce,
And never again had any direct influence
Over his son's education.
Lolo Soetoro, the second husband of Obama's mother,
Ann Dunham, introduced his stepson to Islam.
Obama was enrolled in a Wahabi school in Jakarta.
Wahabism is the RADICAL teaching that is followed
By the Muslim terrorists who re now waging Jihad
Against the western world.
Since it is politically expedient to be a CHRISTIAN
When seeking major public office in the United States ,
Barack Hussein Obama has joined the United
Church of Christ in an attempt to downplay his
Muslim background.
Let us all remain alert concerning
Obama's
Presidential candidacy.
The Muslims have said they plan on destroying the
US from the inside out. What better way to start
Than at the highest level---through the President
Of the United States, one of their own!!!!
ALSO, keep in mind that when he was sworn into
His current office - he DID NOT use the
Holy Bible, but instead the Kuran (Their equivalent
To our Bible, but very different beliefs)
Would you want this man leading our country?......
