Obama; A look into Pandora's Box   by J. V.

Within recent weeks, Barack Obama, who was once portrayed as a patron saint has come under serious fire because of the more than unscrupulous company that he keeps. With each passing day, it seems that another skeleton emerges from the Obama closet to add to a collection which seems to be growing ever so large. Why does Obama consistently surround himself with Hate mongers, criminals and even terrorists if he has nothing in common with them as he would want us to believe? As the facts about his history are being uncovered, serious questions are being raised by voters about the character and the judgement of this man who seeks to hold the highest office in our country.

1988 was a very interesting year from Barack and Michelle Obama. They met when she was working as an associate at Sidley Austin (now Sidley Austin Brown & Wood), now one of the worlds largest law firms when she was assigned to mentor a summer intern named Barack Obama. One thing that seems to have been left out of the Sidley Austin love nest is Bernardine Dohrn, she was employed by the Sidley Austin law firm from 1984-1988. Bernardine Dohrn is a well known domestic terrorist who along with her husband Bill Ayres were part of a group called The Weather Underground; a group which has become very well known for bombing the N.Y. City police department, The U.S. Capitol, and placing bombs between buildings thus putting innocent civilians in harms way. The 2 were among those convicted for acts of terror on American soil, but later released on a technicality.

Shortly after the bombings of the late 60’s, Bernadine Dohrn made her lack of remorse well known when she made the following statement to the press; "Dig it! First they killed those pigs, then they ate dinner in the same room with them. They even shoved a fork into the victims stomach! Wild!" This statement was to be echoed by her husband Bill Ayres who has recently made his hatred for America very clear by posing in pictures with an American flag crumpled at his feet. In a statement to The N.Y. Times on September 11, 2001 He said; “I don’t regret setting bombs. We didn’t do enough.” In The Weathermen’s War council, they refered to The U.S. as AmeriKKKA; a phrase used again by The Rev. Jeremiah Wright during his hateful Anti American sermons which has become the hot topic of mainstream America earlier this year.

There is, interestingly something that should be explored. William "Bill" Ayers comes from a very wealthy and well connected family. His father had well known connections to the senior Mayor Daley's office, known as the Chicago political machine, Thomas Ayers also sat on the board of Northwestern University where surprisingly Bernardine Dohrn, who does not hold and can not hold a license to practice law due to her blatant disregard for the law got a job teaching law in 1991. There was another interesting development in 1991. Michelle Robinson is interviewed by Valerie Jarrett who was then Mayor Daley's Chief of Staff. Reportedly, Michelle Robinson is offered a job within 15-20 minutes of Valerie Jarrett meeting her in their initial interview, but Miss Robinson, soon to be Mrs. Obama, could not accept the position until her fiance interviewed Valerie Jarrett. Apparently this "interview" took place over a seafood dinner and Michelle Robinson accepts the position, after her fiance bestows his approval. Just a few short weeks later in Mayor Daley's office and Michelle Obama is promoted to Asst. Commissioner of Planning and Development. Did William Ayers family connections enable a very special City of Chicago job offer for Michelle Robinson very similar to the possible family assistance Bernardine Dohrn may have received in obtaining her new position teaching a subject she is barred from holding; a license to practice, law? One thing is certain; The Obama’s relationship with Ayres was very close and has endured over a long period of time; Quite contrary to Obama's claim at the PA debate where he tried to pass Bill Ayres off as "The guy that lives down the street." In being less than honest about his relations and knowledge about Bill Ayres as with The Rev. Jeremiah Wright, many voters are beginning to ask; "What is Barack Obama hiding? What really lies underneath the lid of Pandora's Box? Out of the blue in 1995, this "guy that lives down the street" gives a fund raising dinner for Barack Obama. Then in 1996 Michelle Obama takes a new job as Associate Dean of Student Services at the University of Chicago in which she organized panels which include none other than Barack Obama and William "Bill" Ayers.

Another of these close friendships of the Obama family was with one Rashid Khalidi; who has striking simularities to William Ayres in a way that they both strongly advocate terrorism against America; whether foreign or domestic. Khalidi , like Ayres, was not just a casual acquaintance, he also has made a contribution to Obama’s campaign. Khalidi even held a fundraiser for Obama’s failed senate campaign in 2001. Take Barack Obama's own words from 2003 at Rashid Khalidi's farewell party and it gives a clear indication of how closely tied they were.

A special tribute came from Khalidi's friend and frequent dinner companion, the young state Sen. Barack Obama. Speaking to the crowd, Obama reminisced about meals prepared by Khalidi's wife, Mona, and conversations that had challenged his thinking.
His many talks with the Khalidis, Obama said, had been "consistent reminders to me of my own blind spots and my own biases. . . . It's for that reason that I'm hoping that, for many years to come, we continue that conversation -- a conversation that is necessary not just around Mona and Rashid's dinner table," but around "this entire world."

Rashid Khalidi was closely tied to the PLO who was listed by our state department as a terror group. He was undeniably an apologist for Yassir Arafat. He was also criticized by The New York Sun and CBS News for his pro Palestinian position. He has even stated that there is a legal right under international law for Palestinians to resist Israeli occupation; a statement that has no bases in reality. Khalidi eventually landed on his feet at the University of Chicago, where he ran in the same circles as Associate Dean Michelle Obama, Law Professor Barack Obama, University of Illinois-Chicago Education Professor Bill Ayers, and Northwestern Law Professor Bernadine Dohrn (who prepared for a career in instructing future officers of the court with a stint in federal prison for flouting a judge’s order that she testify in a grand jury investigation into the Weathermen’s infamous Brinks robbery-murders).

Rashid Khalidi's daughter was recently married, readers may find the guest list very intresting, as it included Michelle Obama, and reportedly Bernardine Dohrn and William "Bill" Ayers, this is much more than casual association, it is long term friendship between 3 people with known terrorist sympathies and or direct actions. But that is certainly not all. A witness at the trial of Tony Rezko has testified that Obama was among the guests at a party that was held in honor of Nadhmi Auchi. Mr. Auchi is an Iraqi who is forbidden from entering the United States and had a very lucrative role in the Oil for Food Scandal and has real estate investments in Chicago with Tony Rezko. He has also been a long time advocate of Sadam Hussien. And so, yet another name surfaces among Barack Obama’s ever growing list of people who despise America and support terrorism against the U.S.

Can this be just guilt by association as many Obama supporters feel? Let’s take a look at how some of the dots connect; Louis Farrakhan and Hammas share 2 things in common; First, they were both strongly endorsed by Obama’s self professed mentor; The Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Second, they both endorsed Barack Obama for president. Critics also argue that it has been a pattern of Barack Obama; to deny until he gets caught. One more example, Barack Obama had no problem sitting under The Rev. Wright’s teachings for 20 years and even naming him as his mentor In spite of the fact that his whole ministry was based on black liberation theology along with his abhorable connections and endorsements. But when it really started to hurt his political career, it was time for what the critics call “a clean up job.” If this is just guilt by association, then why are the list of names as these growing ever so long among hate mongers, criminals and even Muslim extremists? Why are these very types people willing to invest their own money to further Obama’s political career? Barack Obama did say in his book that if the winds of politics should change, he will side with the Muslims. Some call this a lapse of character, others, a lapse of judgement. But one thing is certain; Barack Obama had better have a really good answer as to account for all of this. Pandora’s box is now only cracked. One day the lid is going to have to come completely off. When it does, You can be certain that Barack Obama’s political career will go up in smoke.
