No series written about Barack Obama would be complete without an expose regarding the most controversial of his closest advisers, friends and mentors.
WARNING - some of the video material contained in this article is unedited from its original compiled version and it may contain language or comments that some may find objectionable.
First up, let's review the religious beliefs of one of Barack Obama's best friends, his biggest endorser, she is a world renowned actress and talk show host; she is a former member of Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago, and holds herself up to be a "born again Christian" her name is Oprah Winfrey. For those who are not Christians or are not familiar with the Christian religion this video may mean little or nothing to you. To Christians, this video is very likely something you have never heard before and if so, I expect it will open your eyes to the truth about Oprah Winfrey and her new age beliefs.
The second group of Barack Obama's friends I want to expose to the light of truth are the 1960's radicals who have come out and openly supported him as an Illinois Senator, a US Senator and Presidential candidate. They include William Ayers, his wife Bernadine Dohrn, other former members of the Weather Underground,The Black Panthers, Jane Fonda, etc.
If you would like to see the other 8 parts of this video series about the Weather Underground (The Weather Underground 1 to 9) they are all available on YouTube.
Granted, Barack Obama was less than 10 years old when many 1960's militants were nearing the height of their activism, being disruptive and conducting criminal acts like bombings. When Barack Obama decided to become a politician he made the decision to align himself with radical Marxist activists, he could have chosen not to, but he didn't. He began his campaign for Senate in the home of Bill Ayers, he served on the Woods Foundation Board with the man and he helped to approve donations Woods Foundation donations to Bernadine Dorhn's "study activities" at the University where she teaches.
Mr Ayers and his wife have trampled all over the constitution, the rights of others to live free and even though they were acquitted on criminal charges from their activities in the 1`960's they freely admit to their part in bombings that killed and injured several people, to this day they are very unrepentant about the subject. Obama should know better then to associate himself with thugs like these. They represent the lowest common denominator in our society.
When it comes to radical view points on race and religion few people hold a candle to Nation of Islam leader, Minister Louis Farrakhan. The Nightline video of Louis Farrakhan Raw provides some insight into his heart, his mind and his closely held beliefs.
Just as interesting as Louis Farrakhan's comments is a video of Barack Obama tripping all over himself as he searches for an answer to a question from Tim Russert about Louis Farrakhan endorsing him. At the time Obama was still a member of Trinity United Church of Christ where his friend and mentor of over 20 years had given an award to Minister Farrakhan for his leadership. Farrakhan himself once said "to Black People I am the Pope" assuming that all blacks listened to and follow him in the same way Catholics revere the Pope. Is it any surprise in the video below Obama stops far short of denouncing Farrakhan, he appears to be afraid of the impact it might have on his base of support.
After watching this video courtesy of NBC is it any wonder why Obama has yet to debate John McCain with 100 days left before the election? Take the teleprompter away from Obama and he becomes just another socialist squirrel leaping from branch to branch in search of a safe hole to crawl into and hide.
I could dedicate a huge amount of time on www.barnhartblog.com to Obama's very close adviser, friend, mentor and pastor Jeremiah Wright; instead I thought it best to post several videos of the controversial reverend and simply remind everyone that this is a man who Barack Obama claims he never knew held these controversial views.
For 20 plus years he was a friend of Obama's and presumably still is. Obama has never answered the American people as to why he became so close to a man with such tragically slanted and unrealistic views.
In reading Obama's books I think the reason is in part because Obama himself still privately clings to many of the same stereotypical negative views about this country and other people, and I fail to see how Barack Obama can help remove the splinter of racism from America's eye when the man still has a beam in his own.
I hope these video segments provoke thought and stir you to question the truth about Barack Obama's personal associations with secular humanists, Marxists, anti-semites, and hate mongers. I encourage you to watch the video's again and ask yourself, "is this the kind of American I want to be President of the United States?"
