Culinary Workers' Union Endorse Barack Obama
firstread.msnbc.msn.com — The union, which boasts a membership of more than 60,000, is seen as a key endorsement in Nevada, a state where there are less than 500,000 registered Democrats in the whole state and certainly not all come out for caucuses.

To my knowledge except for his mother, like both of Barak Husein Obama's father's, ALL cousins, aunts, uncles, grandmothers and grandfathers remaining behind in Kenya are Muslims. Within his family only Barak Husein Obama is a declared Christian.

What follows is documentation from his current African church. Barak Husein Obama's church is RACIST!
Trinity United Church of Christ adopted the Black Value System written by the Manford Byrd Recognition Committee chaired by Vallmer Jordan in 1981. (The church removed the information soon after Obama began to run for office!)

2. Commitment to the Black Community
3. Commitment to the Black Family
4. Dedication to the Pursuit of Education
5. Dedication to the Pursuit of Excellence
6. Adherence to the Black Work Ethic

9. Pledge to make the fruits of all developing and acquired skills available to the Black Community
10. Pledge to Allocate Regularly, a Portion of Personal Resources for Strengthening and Supporting Black Institutions
11. Pledge allegiance to all Black leadership who espouse and embrace the Black Value System

Obama's activist church enters spotlight
But in an interview with PBS's "Religion & Ethics Newsweekly" recorded just before Obama's February announcement, Wright said he warned the senator that their association could pose political problems, partly because of his history of supporting Palestinian causes.
Wright also told The New York Times in an interview published March 6: "When his (Obama's) enemies find out that in 1984 I went to Tripoli" with Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan to visit Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi, "a lot of his Jewish support will dry up quicker than a snowball in hell."

By KARL ROVE
QUOTE 'Mr. Obama has failed to rise to leadership on a single major issue in the Senate. In the Illinois legislature, he had a habit of ducking major issues, voting "present" on bills important to many Democratic interest groups, like abortion-rights and gun-control advocates.'
And if you don't believe me and Karl then PROVE TO ME ONE THING the lazy ***** has done! Prove it! Tell me what bills he is responsible for? If he wins the runnoff I will bury you here on Digg. - soot, on 01/10/2008, -2/+7Wow, you're quoting an Op-Ed by Karl Rove? I won't even bother.
Frankly, I couldn't give a flying ***** whether or not any of his extended relatives way off in Kenya whom I'll never even care to know about were muslim or not. You sound like the xenophobe here, despite you're trying to make it seem the other way around. - EditorResponse, on 01/10/2008, -6/+2I am an atheist myself. BOTH of his religions bother me and so does the way he votes. Nothing but the facts.
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2007/02/ ...
For example, in 1997, Obama voted "present" on two bills (HB 382 and SB 230) that would have prohibited a procedure often referred to as partial birth abortion. He also voted "present" on SB 71, which lowered the first offense of carrying a concealed weapon from a felony to a misdemeanor and raised the penalty of subsequent offenses.
In 1999, Obama voted "present" on SB 759, a bill that required mandatory adult prosecution for firing a gun on or near school grounds. The bill passed the state Senate 52-1. Also in 1999, Obama voted "present" on HB 854 that protected the privacy of sex-abuse victims by allowing petitions to have the trial records sealed. He was the only member to not support the bill.
In 2001, Obama voted "present" on two parental notification abortion bills (HB 1900 and SB 562), and he voted "present" on a series of bills (SB 1093, 1094, 1095) that sought to protect a child if it survived a failed abortion. In his book, the Audacity of Hope, on page 132, Obama explained his problems with the "born alive" bills, specifically arguing that they would overturn Roe v. Wade. But he failed to mention that he only felt strongly enough to vote "present" on the bills instead of "no."
And finally in 2001, Obama voted "present" on SB 609, a bill prohibiting strip clubs and other adult establishments from being within 1,000 feet of schools, churches, and daycares.- soot, on 01/10/2008, -1/+1You're just a concern troll and nothing more.
- bluenullity, on 01/10/2008, -1/+3Wow quoting Karl Rove... thats a blocking. I don't need to prove anything to someone who is speaks for the devil.
- EditorResponse, on 01/10/2008, -1/+1Barack Obama defends infanticide, the killing of fully born infants, who have survived an abortion attempt, and were then left in soiled linen baskets to die. Even Hillary Clinton voted against the Bill!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0xkT_W5l9-k
Remember what Barack Obama said: "Well, I think that what Senator Clinton’s been doing is running what’s considered a textbook Washington campaign, and what that says is that you don’t answer directly tough questions. You don’t present tough choices directly to the American people for fear that your answers might not be popular, you might make yourself a target for Republicans in the general election."
BARACK OBAMA IS RUNNING A TEXTBOOK WASHINGTON CAMPAIGN!
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2007/02/ ...
We aren't talking about a "present" vote on whether to name a state office building after a deceased state official, but rather about votes that reflect an officeholder's core values.
For example, in 1997, Obama voted "present" on two bills (HB 382 and SB 230) that would have prohibited a procedure often referred to as partial birth abortion. He also voted "present" on SB 71, which lowered the first offense of carrying a concealed weapon from a felony to a misdemeanor and raised the penalty of subsequent offenses.

If you can't, you sound like a bigot (not necessarily a racist, just someone who can't stand the idea of a democrat as president).
- Goodanswer, on 01/10/2008, -4/+3That is just an absurd thing to say. At the VERY least thing that this election is teaching us is that for Ron Paul and Barrack Obama to be able to cross party lines and look through the divide and see people looking back. as for sources ill be happy to provide you with LOTS. here are 2 to start with.
while this is a pro chris dodd segment it outlines how barrack will NOT pull troops out of the Middle East http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zza5rjai9F0
2nd. This is taken from CFR's OWN WEB SITE. now some background on CFR. These are the people who want to end US Sovereignty and make a North American Union, who do you think is going to be in control? A:the U.N.
http://www.cfr.org/bios/11603/barack_obama.html
don't rely on digg.com or diggers to provide you with information. go search it for yourself.- bahamutxd, on 01/10/2008, -1/+4http://www.cfr.org/campaign2008/candidates.html -- it has all the candidates on there. And, if you actually read that 2nd link you submitted, it has a layout of his Iraq policy. Troop withdrawal by 2009, effective immediately -- and his opposition to permanent Iraq bases. Go search for it yourself.
- Goodanswer, on 01/12/2008, -0/+2I have already read his statements and I do listen to his speeches. It would behoove you to remember that as a member of the CFR he can say/type or think what ever he wants to. He will not follow what he says just like bush didnt. if you remember bush ran on a humble foreign policy and no nation building and look what that got us.
- cashman57, on 01/10/2008, -2/+3Thank you goodanswer for providing the link to the facts and he has stated he could see troops in Iraq in 2013 if he were president.

I am glad you will no longer be crying when I write the truth.- PeppermintPig, on 01/13/2008, -0/+1Time will most certainly tell, but if history has set any precedent for the Republican and Democratic mainstream, we're surely in for more disappointment.
POTUS != 'Leadership' that so many seem to be searching for.

- bahamutxd, on 01/10/2008, -1/+3Truth never comes in the form of unsupported claims. If anything, outside of raising taxes and attacking Pakistan, he's described the Bush administration.
- Goodanswer, on 01/10/2008, -5/+3Yea, the truth sucks, huh?
- brufleth, on 01/10/2008, -4/+6That doesn't even make sense. Increasing taxes would help alleviate debt.
Outside of that I think you pretty accurately described the overall platform of the leading republican candidates.- soot, on 01/10/2008, -0/+4I guess he isn't too keen on tax-and-spend, but he has no problem with borrow-and-spend-and-don't-pay-back.

also see _his website_ on taxation and you will see he intends to increase taxation. Look at all of the new programs he is saying he would begin or fund, what was his answer when asked about debt reduction?
He answered that it would be a concern for a later time.
Look, I am sorry if you people don't read what your candidate is about. That sucks, but it isn't my fault.

- boonesfarm, on 01/10/2008, -2/+15Because unions back Democrats and Democrats pander to unions. If you're a cook who likes Ron Paul, tough ***** - your dues went to Obama because the union and Democrats know what's better for you. Yeah Unions!
- Enchantrem, on 01/10/2008, -3/+4.. Or, you could work in a non-union cookery. They do exist, you know, and it's a free country.
- PeppermintPig, on 01/13/2008, -0/+1Except interest groups, unions included, influence regulation on their respective industries. Regulation is the antithesis of this free country you believe we are living in. Good men need no state-driven laws to successfully function in a society. As for the bad, government far too often only addresses symptoms to problems they're responsible for creating.
- Enchantrem, on 01/10/2008, -3/+4.. Or, you could work in a non-union cookery. They do exist, you know, and it's a free country.

- PeppermintPig, on 01/13/2008, -0/+1Nice fallacy. Ron Paul believes in liberty, free association. Therefore he supports the freedom to form a union. What we shouldn't tolerate is theft of our property and wealth to satiate some interest group, no matter who is backing such a group.
- Anzat, on 01/10/2008, -7/+9Because Obama would be a better President.

- davewashere, on 01/10/2008, -2/+1Your comment is getting buried, but it's pretty accurate. Voter apathy is an affliction of youth, so politicians know they need not pander there. The internet has not brought about the revolution in politics that the media talks about. The net is still a fickle media filled with buzz words and buzz candidates. How many people even remember the buzz internet candidate in 2004? His name was Howard Dean, and his campaign collapsed in a span of 12 hours when he was stunned in New Hampshire by John Kerry and then he gave perhaps the most embarrassing concession speech ever. The point is he lost New Hampshire despite "winning MySpace". You only get two votes that count for anything, and they come in the primary and on election day. Being too enthusiastic towards a candidate CAN hurt his/her chances of winning. Think about how undecided voters will respond to the way you choose to support your candidate. Will it welcome them in (not likely if you are calling for a "revolution") or will it scare them away? You DO need to care what other people think about you and the way you act, that's a fundamental tenet of politics.
- PistolSO, on 01/10/2008, -0/+2Former Deanaic, voted in every national election since 2000. I'm voting Obama because he is similar in outlook to Dean, and I think he can be convinced to co-opt some libertarian ideas
- alkaline213, on 01/10/2008, -1/+8Ron Paul doesn't have a larger youth support than Obama. He just has a louder online presence.

- shiftclick, on 01/10/2008, -15/+6 So, if you're in a food workers union, you're a registered voter now? Hmm, last time I checked, most of the people working in restaurants in my city aren't even U.S. citizens. Go get them Barrack HUSSEIN Obama!!!
- raoulduke87, on 01/10/2008, -1/+4I'm pretty sure you have to be a citizen or at least a legal resident to be a member of a union, you ***** jackass.
- shiftclick, on 01/10/2008, -4/+2Thanks for that last part. I would have guessed you were a moron. But you proved it all on your own. Great job!
- raoulduke87, on 01/10/2008, -1/+2No, the first part (the information you need to stop sounding like an idiot) was for you. But that last part...that last part was for me. So, no need to thank me. I assure you, it was my pleasure.

- FURBjr, on 01/10/2008, -10/+5As a restaurant worker myself, I have to tell you, this doesn't matter in the least. In my unscientific poll, about 65 percent of all restaurant workers have strong libertarian leanings.
- Revovisionary, on 01/11/2008, -1/+1Are you a restaurant worker in Nevada? And as a libertarian you should have respect for a man who taught constitutional law.
- PeppermintPig, on 01/13/2008, -0/+1More respect for someone who actually follows it. Constitution isn't everything, but these people are swearing an oath...

- Tarnum, on 01/11/2008, -0/+1The illegales can't vote.
- jmpeagle, on 01/10/2008, -3/+2why is it big new that a corporation is supporting Obama because that's what a union is. A corporation. This has as much effect as Exxon saying it will vote for Clinton, they can't force their workers to vote a certain way.
- Revovisionary, on 01/11/2008, -1/+2a Corporation is a business entity that is owned by multiple people. A union is a entity of employees banding together to insure there boss doesn't screw them... Not the same.
- Xanadude, on 01/10/2008, -9/+4Barack Obama is the ultimate style-over-substance politician, basically the Ronald Reagan of the Democrats. He hasn't proposed much in the way of policy (and his vague health care proposals are notoriously disingenuous), he just keeps talking about "change" and "hope." But he has taken an enormous amount of money from the usual suspects, i.e. corporate interests and the like. Obama doesn't represent change, he represents novelty - something that apparently sells better. If Americans really wanted change, they'd vote Edwards or Kucinich.
- catalysis, on 01/10/2008, -1/+3Didn't Reagan end the cold war? I'll take it.
- Xanadude, on 01/10/2008, -1/+1No, actually, he did not. Thanks for writing in.
- lazyfisherman, on 01/10/2008, -0/+0True. But Hillary just pain sucks and Edwards and Kucinich don't seem able to beat her or Obama. Maybe Edwards will turn it around but people just aren't willing to vote for Special K, who is by FAR the best candidate of all the Democrats.
- Revovisionary, on 01/11/2008, -0/+1Not true, here's your substance: http://www.barackobama.com/pdf/ObamaBlueprintForCh ...

also see _his website_ on taxation and you will see he intends to increase taxation. Look at all of the new programs he is saying he would begin or fund and addup the amounts , what was his answer when asked about debt reduction?
He answered that it would be a concern for a later time.
All you have to do is read his website. I did. That's where ALMOST ALL of that information. He just doesn't talk as much about attacking Iran and Pakistan while he says he has an 18 month withdrawal plan.
What military academy did he go to??
What qualifies him in any way to make that type of a plan?
What kind of economic experience does he have? Did he ever make speeches or chair a committee or even serve on an economic committee?
Did you happen to listen to Bernanke today?
Its the economy stupid and Obama is an economic mental midget! - aaroh, on 01/10/2008, -0/+2john kerry just endorsed Barack,,,,,wooohoooo

you don't say! - cyrax04, on 01/11/2008, -1/+2I'm a Paul supporter and I'm dreading Digg the next month and again around election time. Multiple Paul stories on the same thing, anything to do with Obama, anything negative about Clinton, etc. This really is exhausting.
I know this is technically news, however minuet, but can we all just stop the excessive 'spam' please? Pretty?
- A concerned and worn out Digger.- cashman57, on 01/11/2008, -0/+1Since you didn't reply to any post I am at a loss as to what it is you consider "spam.
Elaborate please.- cyrax04, on 01/11/2008, -0/+1Basically what I said in my post. Maybe not spam but just seer abundance of these articles. Looking on the positive though there are still good articles that get dugg up and digg itself is still a great place to learn and communicate.

- bioncinola, on 01/12/2008, -0/+1Obama is really just an inexperienced professor. He's going to be led around by the nose by the beocons. WE HAD BETTER PICK SOMONE WHO BEEN STANDING FIRM AGAINST THE NEOCONS FOR YEARS!! RON PAUL!!!
