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 first 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. Moreover, 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 were 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 role in the rescue plan. You claimed > that the Senate did not need you while the real reason that you > abstained was 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 subprime 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 compare your record of lies, distortions, race baiting, 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 25 years ago. > > Mr. Obama, at Harvard Law School , you learned that the end does not > justify the means. You learned that perjuries, 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 them 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…. You are preying 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….

The media is > diverting our attention from 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 men lied about the events … false witness … > perjury … your relationships and bad judgments are bad on their > own …. However, 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**.
