Obama: By Bill Brown of the Billy Graham Team
Bill Brown, is a highly respected retired member of the Billy Graham team so, I take his assessment of Obama very seriously and for that reason accept his challenge to pass this on. I share his concern about the 'rock star' image Obama has and watch with growing concern at the celebrity status the media has foisted upon him. Here is hope this email informs you in a wise way.
________________________________
The Obama Tidal Wave
We are witnessing a political phenomenon with Barack Obama of rare magnitude.
His speeches have inspired millions and yet most of his followers have no idea of what he stands for except platitudes of 'Change' or that he says he will be a 'Uniter'.
The power of speech from a charismatic person truly can be a powerful thing. Certainly Billy Graham had charisma. Both his manner of speech and particularly the content changed millions.
On the extreme other hand, the charisma of Adolph Hitler, too, inspired millions and the results were catastrophic..
Barack Obama certainly is no Hitler or a Billy Graham, but for many Americans riding on the Obama Tidal Wave it is just like a surfer who might be ecstatic and euphoric while riding a tidal wave, but the reality of the ride is what happens when it hits shore.
Just Some of What Defines Barack Obama:
•· He voted for partial birth abortion.
•· He voted no on notifying parents of minors who get out-of-state abortions.
•· Supports affirmative action in Colleges and Government (quotas)..
•· In 2001 he questioned harsh penalties for drug dealing as being too severe
•· Says he will deal with street level drug dealing as minimum wage affair.
•· Admitted his use of marijuana and cocaine in high school and in college.
•· His religious convictions are very murky.
•· He is willing to meet with Fidel Castro, Hugo Chavez, Kim Jung Il and Mahmoud Ahmadinejad without any preconditions.
•· Has said that one of his first goals after being elected would be to have with all Muslim Nations
•· Opposed the Patriot Act.
•· First bill he signed that was ever passed was campaign finance reform.
•· Voted to allow law suits against gun manufacturers.
•· Supports universal health-care.
•· Voted yes on providing habeas corpus for Guantanamo detainees.
•· Supports granting driver's licenses to illegal immigrants.
•· Supports extending welfare to illegal immigrants.
•· Voted yes on comprehensive immigration reform.
•· Voted yes on allowing illegal aliens to participate in Social Security.
•· Wants to make the minimum wage a 'living wage'.
•· Voted with Democratic Party 96 percent of 251 votes. (241 votes Demo, 10 votes Republican)
•· Opposed to any efforts to Privatize Social Security and instead supports increasing the amount of tax paid into Soc. Sec. Tax Increase.
•· He voted No on repealing the Alternative Minimum Tax which now hits middle income brackets.
•· He voted No on repealing the 'Death' Tax. Tax Increase.
•· He wants to raise the Capital Gains Tax. Tax Increase.
•· Has repeatedly said the surge in Iraq has not succeeded...which is not true.
•· He is ranked as the most liberal Senator in the Senate today and that takes some doing.
If your political choices are consistent with Barack Obama's and you think that his positions will bring America together or make it a better place, then you will probably enjoy the ride and not forward this Email. If you are like most Americans that after examining what he stands for, are truly not in line with his record, it would be prudent to get off the wave or better yet, never get on, before it comes on shore and undermines the very foundations of this great Country. We have limited time to save America or the Supreme Court as we know it.
Inaction is action.
If you agree this is important, pass it on. The mainstream media will not do it for you!

Nor do forwarded e-mail lies and hate.
Blame the media, call him a celebrity, and pretend people support him for his celebrity status, not his policy. You've probably never even listened to a whole speech of his.
Yawn.
Remember that repeating a lie does not make it a fact.
I do not and will not trust in Obama and his lies.
Stand up for What and Who you Believe in.
I do.
In God I trust.
and see what Obama and McCain voted for, the compare
them for yourselves.
Thanks for sharing this.
I voted McCain.
You can see how McCain has voted for legislation endorsed by Bush over 90% of the time, so if you think Bush has done a great job you can feel good about voting for McCain, as he promises to give us more of the same.
Here's a little more for you to cry about. Obama also believes the Constitution is a “flawed document”. He thinks we need “major redistributive change” to bring about “political and economic justice” He thinks it’s good for us if we “spread the wealth around” and my personal favorite, he spent 20 years as a member of an organization which is equivalent to the KKK except they hate Whites and Jews instead of Blacks and Jews, the Black Liberation Theology.
"I will give 95% of Americans a tax cut". Of course he has never done any such thing during his short political life. 95% of Americans do not pay taxes and Obama is committed to letting the Bush tax cuts expire = tax hike.
"...the Bush/McCain policiies..." Is that like the Obama/Wright/Ayers belief system? Keep saying it and see how many people you can convince.
"I did not hear any of those things." Obama about Reverend Wright during his 500 visits to the black liberation church.
Not in my country.
Black liberation theology... That's still going around in emails?
95% of Americans do not pay taxes, eh? Hmm, everybody I know seems to be that 5% that do.
On Bush/McCain and Obama/Wright/Ayers... Both Obama and McCain tell you what they believe should be done. And what McCain says goes right along with the policies that Bush has been putting in place. What Obama says has no relation to Wright and Ayers.
What Obama wants to do goes right along with Wright/Ayers. The Obama plans detailed on his website have one overriding theme, business is bad and needs to be punished. Do you think this is different than Wright/Ayers philosophy? It's not. Obama comes from that school of thought and if you elect him, that is what you will get, a person who thinks business and rich people are the cause of poor people. Guess what, there will always be poor people and nothing can change that. Punishing the rich will not change that. Only a fool would even try that.
