Bob:

The fact is Americans are NOT hearing the FACTS on this individual and we

have lost! Many of us are old enough to remember what happened with the rise of

Adolph Hitler and I am dumbfounded that Americans are selecting this individual

as key facts are suppressed.

We continue to preach to the choir, because most Americans don't hear this

from the media. Those I talk to are outrageously ignorant of the FACTS. And,

this candidate for President has also refused us access to key school records,

his medical records, and even his birth certificate. What is he hiding and who

is providing much of this money which is buying this election? The St.

Petersburg Times of Tampa has an editorial endorsing Obama and called me about

my e-mail allegedly published by the Washington Post. I told them the truth

that it was a fraud (as admitted by the Washington Post in their apology to me),

but I gave them seven FACTS which should disqualify Obama as a Presidential

candidate. They could NOT REFUTE a single one of them. We are facing a

national tragedy and I am very concerned we will learn it too late. You can

hate Bush and McCain and Republicans or whatever, but this individual is an

embarrassment to all Democrats as more than an extreme left wing

liberal who grew up in an anti-American culture and whose mentors and associates

do not wish us well and several are felons. He has taken the American flag off

his airplane and did not put his hand over his heart during the National Anthem

(documented).

The FBI and even the N.Y. Times have substantiated several key facts, but

the Public seems more concerned with the cost of Sarah Palin's wardrobe and

attacking her personally with lies and other issues inconsequential to our

national security. Joe Plumber is personally crucified for asking a reasonable

and fair question the answer to which Obama later confirmed yes he "would spread

the wealth around", ie. socialism.

I know that many of you are sick and tired of all this political BS (Pelosi)but

if you read just one more thing between now and next month's election, I urge

you to read the following editorial.

To Barack Hussein Obama,

The New York Times carried a story on Saturday, October 4, 2008 that proved you

had a significantly closer relationship with Bill Ayers than what you previously

admitted. While the issue of your relationship is of concern, the greater

concern is that you lied to America about it.

The Chicago Sun reported on May 8, 2008 that FBI records showed that you had a

significantly closer relationship with Tony Rezko than what you previously

admitted. In the interview, you said that you only saw Mr. Rezko a couple of

times a year. The FBI files showed that you saw him weekly While the issue of

your relationship is of concern, the greater concern is that you lied to America

about it.

Your speech in Philadelphia on March 18, 2008 about 'race' contradicted your

statement to Anderson Cooper on March 14 when you said that you never heard

Reverend Wright make his negative statements about white America. While your

attendance at Trinity Church for 20 years is of concern, the greater concern is

that you lied to America on March 14.

In your 1st debate with John McCain, you said that you never said that you would

meet with the leaders of Cuba, Venezuela, Iran, and North Korea without

'preparations' at lower levels ... Joe Biden repeated your words in his debate

with Sarah Palin ... while the video tape from your debate last February clearly

shows that you answered 'I would' to the question of meeting with those leaders

within 12 months without 'any' preconditions. While your judgment about meeting

with enemies of the USA without pre-conditions is of concern, the greater

concern is that you lied to America in the debate with McCain.

On July 14, 2008, you said that you always knew that the surge would work while

the video tapes of you from more than a year ago show that you stated that the

surge would not work. While your judgment about military strategy as a potential

commander in chief is of concern, the greater concern is that you lied to

America on July 14.

You now claim that your reason for voting against funding for the troops was

because the bill did not include a time line for withdrawal while the video

tapes of you from more than a year ago show that you voted against additional

funding because you wanted our troops to be removed immediately .. not in 16

months after the 2008 election as you now claim. While your judgment about

removing our troops unilaterally in 2007 is of concern, the greater concern is

that you lied to America about your previous position.

You claim to have a record of working with Republicans while the record shows

that the only bill that you sponsored with a Republican was with Chuck Lugar ..

and it failed. The record shows that you vote 97% in concert with the Democrat

party and that you have the most liberal voting record in the Senate. You joined

Republicans only 13% of the time in your votes and those 13% were only after

agreement from the Democrat party. While it is of concern that you fail to

include conservatives in your actions and that you are such a liberal, the

greater concern is that you distorted the truth.

In the primary debates of last February, 2008, you claimed to have talked with a

'Captain' of a platoon in Afghanistan 'the other day' when in fact you had a

discussion in 2003 with a Lieutenant who had just been deployed to Afghanistan.

You lied in that debate.

In your debates last spring, you claimed to have been a 'professor of

Constitutional law' when in fact you have never been a professor of

Constitutional law. In this last debate, you were careful to say that you

'taught a law class' and never mentioned being a 'professor of Constitutional

law.' You lied last spring.

You and Joe Biden both claimed that John McCain voted against additional funding

for our troops when the actual records show the opposite. You distorted the

truth.

You and Joe Biden claim that John McCain voted against funding for alternate

energy sources 20 times when the record shows that John McCain specifically

voted against funding for bio fuels, especially corn ... and he was right ....

corn is too expensive at producing ethanol, and using corn to make ethanol

increased the price of corn from $2 a bushel to $6 a bushel for food. You

distorted the truth.

You and Joe Biden claim that John McCain voted like both of you for a tax

increase on those making as little as $42,000 per year while the voting record

clearly shows that John McCain did not vote as you and Joe Biden. You lied to

America.

You and Joe Biden claim that John McCain voted with George W. Bush 90% of the

time when you know that Democrats also vote 90% of the time with the President

(including Joe Biden) because the vast majority of the votes are procedural. You

are one of the few who has not voted 90% of the time with the president because

you have been missing from the Senate since the day you got elected. While your

absence from your job in the Senate is of concern, the greater concern is that

you spin the facts.

You did not take an active roll in the rescue plan. You claimed that the Senate

did not need you while the real reason that you abstained was because of your

close relationships with the executives of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Countrywide,

and Acorn ... who all helped cause the financial problems of today ... and they

all made major contributions to your campaign. While your relationship with

these executives and your protection of them for your brief 3 years in the

Senate (along with Barney Frank, Chuck Schumer, Maxine Waters, and Chris Dodd)

is of concern, the greater concern is that you are being deceitful.

You forgot to mention that you personally represented Tony Rezko and Acorn. Tony

Rezko, an Arab and close friend to you, was convicted of fraud in Chicago real

estate transactions that bilked millions of tax dollars from the Illinois

government for renovation projects that you sponsored as a state senator ... and

Acorn has been convicted of voter fraud, real estate sub prime loan

intimidation, and illegal campaign contributions. Tony Rezko has contributed

hundreds of thousands of dollars to your political campaigns. You personally

used your political positions to steer money to both Tony Rezko and Acorn and

you used Acorn to register thousands of phony voters for Democrats and you.

While your relationships with Rezko and Acorn are of concern, the greater

concern is that you omitted important facts about your relationships with them

to America.

During your campaign, you said: 'typical white person.' 'they cling to their

guns and religion.' 'they will say that I am black.' You played the race card.

You tried to label any criticism about you as racist. You divide America.

You claim that you will reduce taxes for 95% of America, but you forgot to tell

America that those reductions are after you remove the Bush tax reductions. You

have requested close to $1 Billion in earmarks and several million for Acorn.

Your social programs will cost America $1 Trillion per year and you claim that a

reduction in military spending ($100 billion for Iraq) can pay for it. While

your economic plan of adding 30% to the size of our federal government is of

concern, the greater concern is that you are deceiving America.

The drain to America's economy by foreign supplied oil is $700 Billion per year

(5% of GDP) while the war in Iraq is $100 Billion (less than 1% of GDP). You

voted against any increases to oil exploration for the last 3 years and any

expansion of nuclear facilities. Yet today, you say that you have always been

for more oil and more nuclear. You are lying to America.

Mr. Obama, you claimed that you 'changed' your mind about public financing for

your campaign because of the money spent by Republican PACs in 2004. The truth

is that the Democrat PACs in 2004, 2006, and 2008 spent twice as much as the

Republican PACs (especially George Soros and MoveOn.org). You are lying to

America.

Mr. Obama, you have done nothing to stop the actions of the teachers union and

college professors in the USA. They eliminated religion from our history. They

teach pro gay agendas and discuss sex with students as young as first grade.

They bring their personal politics into the classrooms. They disparage

conservatives. They brainwash our children. They are in it for themselves .....

not America. Are you reluctant to condemn their actions because

teachers/professors and the NEA contribute 25% of all money donated to Democrats

and none to Republicans? You are deceiving America.

Oh Mr. Obama, Teddy Roosevelt said about a hundred years ago that we Americans

should first look at the character of our leaders before anything else. Your

character looks horrible. While you make good speeches, motivating speeches,

your character does not match your rhetoric. You talk the talk but do not walk

the walk.

1. You lied to America. You lied many times. You distorted facts. You parsed

your answers like a lawyer.

2. You distorted the record of John McCain in your words and in your

advertisements.

3. You had associations with some very bad people for your personal political

gains and then lied about those associations.

4. You divide America about race and about class.

Now let me compare your record of lies, distortions, race bating, and

associations to John McCain:

War hero. Annapolis graduate with 'Country first.' Operational leadership

experience like all 43 previously elected presidents of the USA as a Navy

Officer for 22 years. 26 years in the Senate. Straight talk. Maverick. 54% of

the time participated on bills with Democrats. Never asked for an earmark. The

only blemish on his record is his part in the Keating 5 debacle about 25 years

ago.

Mr. Obama, at Harvard Law School, you learned that the end does not justify the

means. You learned that perjury, false witness, dishonesty, distortion of truth

are never tolerated. Yet, your dishonesty is overwhelming. Your dishonesty is

tremendously greater than the dishonesty that caused the impeachment and

disbarment of Bill Clinton. Your dishonesty is tremendously greater than the

dishonesty of Scooter Libby. You should be ashamed.

Mr. Obama, it is time for us Americans to put aside our differences on political

issues and vote against you because of your dishonest character. It is time for

all of us Americans to put aside our political issues and vote for America

first. It is time for America to vote for honesty.

Any people who vote for you after understanding that you are dishonest should be

ashamed of themselves for making their personal political issues more important

than character. Would these same people vote for the anti-Christ if the

anti-Christ promised them riches? Would they make a golden calf while Moses was

up the mountain? Would they hire someone for a job if that someone lied in an

interview? .... of course not. So why do some of these people justify their

votes for you even though they know you are dishonest? Why do they excuse your

dishonesty? because some of these people are frightened about the future, the

economy, and their financial security .... and you are praying on their fears

with empty promises ... and because some (especially our young people) are

consumed by your wonderful style and promises for 'change' like the Germans who

voted for Adolf Hitler in 1932. The greed/envy by Germans in 1932 kept them from

recognizing Hitler for who he was. They loved his style.

Greed and envy are keeping many Americans from recognizing you ... your style

has camouflaged your dishonesty .... but many of us see you for who you really

are ... and we will not stop exposing who you are every day, forever if it is

necessary.

Mr. Obama, you are dishonest. Anyone who votes for you is enabling dishonesty.

Mr. Obama, America cannot trust that you will put America first in your

decisions about the future

Mr. Obama, you are not the 'change' that America deserves. We cannot trust you.

Mr. Obama, You are not ready and not fit to be commander in chief.

Mr. Obama, John McCain does not have as much money as your campaign to refute

all of your false statements. And for whatever reasons, the mainstream media

will not give adequate coverage or research about your lies, distortions, word

parsing, bad associations, race bating, lack of operational leadership

experience, and general dishonest character. The media is diverting our

attention to your relationships and ignoring the fact that you lied about those

relationships. The fact that you lied is much more important than the

relationships themselves .... just like with Bill Clinton and Richard Nixon ...

Monica Lewinski and Watergate were not nearly as bad as the fact that those

gentlemen lied about the events ... false witness ... perjury ... your

relationships and bad judgments are bad on their own .... but your lies are even

worse.

Therefore, by copy of this memo, all who read this memo are asked to send it to

everyone else in America before it is too late. We need to do the job that the

media will not do. We need to expose your dishonesty so that every person in

America understands who you really are before election day.

Mr. Obama, in a democracy, we get what we deserve. And God help America if we

deserve you.

Michael Master

Mc Lean, Virginia

These are my words. We may well be on the verge as Americans of electing a man who will begin the destruction of our nation. God help the United States Military should this person become their Commander in Chief.
