I had forwarded the entire message below (Americans are grossly arrogant and ignorant of politics) to a former work colleague. To my surprise, I received a rather irritative response with the following words ---"But when one sends slander and untruths about another maybe they should look in his or her closet before passing judgment on another."
I suppose I am not exactly surprise by the response as it was expected. What I find rather amusing is that my former work colleage did not provide any reason why she believed the statements made were untrue. To that point, I wish to further notate the "truth." Let me highlight a further response.
Reasons why OBAMA is wrong for America:
I. Obama was basically endorsed by the terrorist group Hamas. The same group who has vowed to destroy Israel.
This has been widely reported. The Hamas Political Adviser Yousef has publicly said that he hopes Obama wins the presidential election. To have a terrorist organization representative declare that he hopes a particular presidential candidate wins the election is probably not the type of association Obama or anyone running for the Office of the U.S. President wants.
II. Is willing to sit down without question with the likes of Iran's president. This is the same president who has vowed to wipe away Israel and destroy America.
The BarackObama.com website notes the following "Obama is the only major candidate who supports tough, direct presidential diplomacy with Iran without preconditions." So, there is no debate in regards to this issue. Obama will sit down with Iran without any condition. What makes Obama think Iran wants to talk to him or let alone listen and change its positions???? Further, Obama even in an earlier Democratic Presidential debate strongly pointed that he would sit down with Iran and our enemies without precondition and meet with them. This is a stated fact.
III. Has been associated for 20 years with a racist and "hatred filled" preacher, even Rev Wright.
Obama has condemned Rev Wright. He also reportedly and supposedly left the church. The question is - if there was nothing wrong with this preacher's sermon, then why has Obama suddenly come out condemning Rev Wright? Why did he leave the church he has been associated with for over 20 years? One can only imagine.
IV. Obama will raise taxes to fix so-called problems in America.
On the Barack Obama website, Obama proposes to provide universal health care coverage, increase sick leave, increase the minimum wage, etc...The only question is - how is this going to be achieved? Who is going to pay for these programs? Your bet is as good as mine....taxation. From whom? You've guessed it? Furthermore, he plans to place more taxes on the wealthy. While this may seem like a possible easy way out, the reality of this band-aid approach include: 1) will most likely disincentivise companies from doing business. These are the same businesses that employ many Americans; and 2) the bottomline cost will come back to the customers, hurting the same people he claims he wants to help.
V. Has no real plans to move America forward. All he has is empty rhetoric for change.
One should really research his plans. While the Obama website looks rather presidential, nothing appears concrete.

Americans Are Grossly Arrogant & Ignorant of Politics
I've decided to post this in its entirety. It raises several great points for consideration. This is by no means suggests that we ought to protest the upcoming presidential elections. It is our privilege as Americans to exercise our right to vote for the best possible candidate.
Here are the reasons for Obama's success among Americans:
1) Americans are ignorant and arrogant when it comes to politics. Many Americans do not care when it comes to politics or government (unless it impacts them). People are not familiar with political issues. Let's face it many Americans do not even know who their elected representatives are on the national, state, and local level. Therefore, despite the fact that Obama represents many topics that are considered damaging to America, Americans are too lazy to research the real issues relying mostly on "feeling and appeal." While feeling and appeal may be great on personal level, for matters of national significance, this is insanely ignorant.
2) Americans are looking for a "Savior." Americans are looking for a "savior" with the magical wand to save them from their ignorance and troubles. After all, many Americans would feel quite comfortable if government provided for every single need, want, and desire. Obama represents the desired "change" for salvation for many Americans. The only downfall is that, who is going to pay for this desired "change"? Individual accountability is lacking in America and people are enamored with the idea that someone else should fork out the bill to pay for our behavioral attitudes and "stuff."
3) Guilty of prejudice & past sins. People feel that an Obama Presidency will finally bridge the gap between the races and overcome the past sins of slavery and discrimination in this country. People are even willing to vote for Obama to overcome their own insecurities in an effort to avoid being labeled "prejudice" or racist. (As a side note, it was the Democratic Party who was for slavery in the south and it was the Republican Party who fought against slavery. This is the same party who decided recently to only award partial votes to delegates from Michigan and Florida.)

V. Has no real plans to move America forward. All he has is empty rhetoric for change.
This is not an endorsement of the leading Republican Party presidential candidate, as it quite the contrary. Rather, Americans need to be aware of Barack Hussein Obama.
Please Say NO to Obama. If you care about America's future, please share this with your family, friends, and colleagues.
