Do we really know who Barack Obama is?

Are we really willing to take a chance on electing him as the leader of the free world knowing what little we do know and still not having any real idea who he is?

This man has tried to gloss over the details of his life, and to the liberal media (and many of our fellow citizens), it doesn't seem to matter. It’s astounding that there are millions of people supporting a man who is unwilling to answer the tough questions I think are required to be President. 

First, let’s look at his judgment when it comes to the types of characters he seems comfortable hanging around. I don't know about you, but I listen to the person preaching from the pulpit when I attend church, and after a few weeks I am sure I would know what type of church and minister I am dealing with. You cannot tell me that 20 years of listening to Rev. Wright did not influence Obama’s opinions. He called the man his "mentor."

Bill Ayers? Really now... I understand Obama was only 8 years old when Mr. Ayers was in his terrorist heydays, but how does that excuse Obama having a relationship with him later in life? He really expects us to believe he didn't know the man was an unrepentant terrorist?

There are many more disturbing points to be made about his "friends."

OK, in short what I'm getting at is this... Do we ever learn from our mistakes? We knew Bill Clinton was a lying womanizer when he was still a Governor, but it didn't stop him from getting elected, twice. Well, he did the same lying and womanizing as President that he did as Governor. He was impeached in one house of Congress and still when you talk to people, they simply don't care.

Does charisma trump virtue? More importantly, should it?

A lot of "Obama Zombies" will be voting on November 4th, I know, but just ask yourself these two questions posed by Fred Thompson:

1) Do we know who John McCain is?

Yes, by all means we know his story and he is the only one in this election who has truly fought for you.

2) Can we trust him with the Presidency?

John McCain has proven his loyalty to this country many times over. I believe he will fight for me again as President.

Now, ask yourself those same two questions about Barack Obama. The truthful answers may send shivers down the spines of most Americans.

With Obama's thin record (many of his senate votes have been “present” votes and the votes he did cast were very liberal), I think we can envision what his first two years in the oval office would look like. Think about this: a Democrat Majority Congress (possibly 60 seats) with absolutely no checks in place...  Personally, I am very concerned if this becomes the scenario.

Are we thinking clearly yet?
