King doesn’t trust Obama because of his upbringing

Now who is the elitist party? King Dingdong, apparently.
AS for checks and balances, they didn't stop George W. Bush and Dick Cheney from building their own international gulag, where the president can designate anyone an enemy combatant based on nothing-no facts, no court judgement, no habeas corpus, no right to respond. Abolishing the first and fourth amendments. And the American Taliban supports the right wing anti-law party because they are committed to a perverse anti-Christian version of the bible that relies heavily on Old Testament Law and rejects the forgiveness, equality, and love of Jesus, in essence rejecting him as the Christ. Who will you follow? The old tyranny dressed in 150,000 of new clothes, or a humble man of the people who has risen above his station and chosen not the path of wealth, but of service? Obama is the answer. McCain is the status quo, a suicide note for American democracy and rule of law.

King is a Nutjob and a disgrace to Iowans,He is a racist pile of Cowdung.

I can't imagine King thinking that there is only ONE way to raise a child to become a public servant! The Bush family is extremely wealthy. Are we to assume from King's comments that the only people capable of serving in public office are the elite of our country??? President George Bush had serious alcohol problems until his late '30's when he became a born again Christian. I hardly think that alcoholism and seeking treatment, religious or otherwise, are necessary for a president of the USA.

This assertion is similar to most of what I hear from King. He combines stereotypical thinking with prejudicial remarks and passes it off as an absolute truth because he said it!

The antithesis of Obama's educational justice for our black citizenry is this:
"Political issues are a distraction," he says, "from personal, psychological issues—things that happen in our households." The problems of his community are "not about racism," he insists. "They are about deep emotional deficits. Our young men are growing up dysfunctional, and instead of trying to help them, we blame white people. We champion the problem and call it a virtue. If you're not angry or psychotic, you're denying your blackness."

Instead, Obama's values and, YES, upbringing have led him onto the Annenburg path, where young blacks are 're-educated' using:
"Rites of Passage
To learn what the rites of passage movement was all about, we can turn to a sympathetic 1992 study published in the Journal of Negro Education by Nsenga Warfield-Coppock. In that article, Warfield-Coppock bemoans the fact that public education in the United States is shaped by “capitalism, competitiveness, racism, sexism and oppression.” According to Warfield-Coppock, these American values “have confused African American people and oriented them toward American definitions of achievement and success and away from traditional African values.” American socialization has “proven to be dysfuntional and genocidal to the African American community,” Warfield-Coppock tells us. The answer is the adolescent rites of passage movement, designed “to provide African American youth with the cultural information and values they would need to counter the potentially detrimental effects of a Eurocentrically oriented society.”

The adolescent rites of passage movement that flowered in the 1990s grew out of the “cultural nationalist” or “Pan-African” thinking popular in radical black circles of the 1960s and 1970s." -- Wright 101, S.Kurtz

Imagine, a politician with an 'undisciplined mouth'? Hmmmm.....wonder where we've seen THAT before? Oh, that's right---Senator Joe Biden!

We can only hope this man, Barack Obama, whom we really don't know very well, is what he is CURRENTLY claiming to be. My gut tells me not to trust Obama's leadership. My head tells me, we'd have the right checks and balances in place to head the 'totalitarian extreme' off at the pass. I would find much more comfort in Barack's leadership if we didn't have Pelosi, Franks, and other misguided Dems filling the Congress with their form of extremism and contribution to our economic vulnerabilities. We need CHECKS AND BALANCES. It really bothers me that our FBI would not give clearance for an agent with Obama's past. Yet we will adopt him into our American republic to govern as President - he has so little invested in American heritage compared to McCain. Dear Citizens, vote with your heart AND mind. Keep your emotions in check! Let's come back to Obama when the time is right?!
