Presidential Candidates Who Are Not What They Appear, Part 1

Barack Obama: Think he's anti-war and anti-death penalty? Wrong on both counts.

Think he's against nuclear proliferation and free trade? Wrong again.

Think Obama supports the Constitution and freedom? Wrong Again.


In 2006, Barack Obama voted twice against bringing the troops home, Roll Calls 174 and 181. He also voted for all the funding that has kept the war in Iraq continuing.

In 2006, Barack Obama voted to punish countries that opposed the death penalty, Roll Call196.

In 2005, he voted for cloture on an energy bill sellout to the nuclear, coal and automotive industries, Roll call 152. He also voted for nuclear proliferation in both 2005, Roll call 172 and 321, and 2006, Roll Call 270.

In 2006, he voted repeatedly for free trade (expensive trade to American workers), Roll call 190 and Roll Call 250

In 2006, Obama voted five times for USA-PATRIOT's renewal, Roll call 11, 22, 25, 28 and 29. In 2005, he voted to wipe out due process by giving the Secretary of Homeland Security the power to waive all laws with no judicial review and no relief. All laws includes laws against murder, kidnapping, rape, mayhem, etc. That's a lot of power for Obama to give away via the Real ID Act, Roll Call 117.

This is just the tip of the problem. Obama is a classist who has voted to essentially eliminate political asylum by persons persecuted by foreign governments, Roll Call 117 (2005) , to limit class action lawsuits , Roll call 9 (2005) and has voted to use low-cost foreign workers in New Orleans, instead of the allowing the people of New Orleans to rebuild their own city Roll call 232 (2005).

See, who the Black Agenda Report considers the blackest candidate. It's not Obama. http://www.bestcyrano.org/bruceDixon.Kucinichblacker.htm
