Seven of the Obama campaign’s top 14 donors consist of officers and employees of
the same Wall Street firms charged time and again with looting the public and newly
implicated in originating and/or bundling fraudulently made mortgages … These seven
Wall Street firms are (in order of money given): Goldman Sachs, UBS AG, Lehman Brothers,
JP Morgan Chase, Citigroup, Morgan Stanley and Credit Suisse.

FACT: * Barack Hussein Obama WAS A DEVOTED MUSLIM FOR 27YRS, THEN HE JOINED
A ‘BLACK CHRISTIAN CHURCH en USA IN ORDER TO START HIS EDUCATION LEADING TO
A POLITICAL CARREER IN AMERICA, AS ‘CHRISTIAN’ (required in America)

The below was taken from this LINK below-section Dec/2007:

On December 22nd/1007, in a small-town café in Pleasantville, Omaha, Obama was asked
a question that typically only circulates on the Internet.
As he sat down to have a slice of pie with a small group of potential voters and
an elderly woman asked him about being Muslim.
“I’ve always been a Christian,” the Illinois Democrat responded. “I
have never practiced [Islam].”
In his autobiography, “Dreams From My Father,” Obama mentions studying
the Quran. His teacher Tine Hahiyary said that she remembered that he had studied
“menjaji” (recitation of the Quran).” Classmate Rony Amiris described
Obama as being a very devout Muslim, saying, “Barry was previously quite religious
in Islam.” Another classmate, Emirsyah Satar, now the CEO of Garuda Indonesia,
was quoted as saying, “He (Obama) was often in the prayer room wearing a ’sarong’.
(See 1971 and 1972, above.)
Yet, on his official campaign website, Obama has posted this statement, “Barack
has never been a Muslim or practiced any other faith besides Christianity.”
Obama’s grandfather was a Muslim. Obama’s father was a Muslim. Obama’s
stepfather was a Muslim. His African relatives are Muslims. What was he for the
27 years before his alleged conversion if he wasn’t a Muslim?
Saying, “I’ve always been a Christian,” is a bold-faced lie.

Obama IS A PHONY indeed
Here's an alternative plan.
Since the Palin group offers, as an excuse for this slaughter,
that the wolves are diminishing the food supply for native
Alaskans, how about outlawing all the non-native hunters who shoot moose "for fun." (their words) That should please the natives,,,,,and the moose.
Don't these people recognize that their "GOD" is evident in all these creatures and that He/She created them and had the right balance? Don't they realize that the only inhabitant of this once marvelous planet, the only one that threaten its' very existence, is Man, or in this case, woman?
Does this make Sarah Palin like a "mother bear protecting her cubs," as she described herself on being elected governor? It's an ironic comparison, especially since she is also opposing polar bears' protection as endangered species. Yet she does seem to have a consistent perspective on her own offspring--as she held her Down's baby on the national stage last Wednesday night and defended her daughter's maternal instincts in accepting motherhood as the natural consequence of a surprise pregnancy. What do I mean? She accepts the killing of wolves, but is opposed to the cold-blooded slaughter of innocent babies, inside or outside the womb. What is Obama in favor of killing? You would not belive it if you didn't hear it documented:

Which wolf is protecting her own pups?
As a hunter, I'm well aware that hunters themselves are apt to buy into ignorant misconceptions, especially when it comes to the large predators -- which many hunters wrongly see as "competition."
I live in wolf country, and don't see it that way at all. They are part of nature and welcome here, as far as I'm concerned.
But I also see some common misconceptions about hunting being repeated here, and would like to offer my counter-points.
First, "Never Cry Wolf" is a wonderful book; I read it as a young boy and the vivid images have stuck with me. But, the main problem with drawing too many conclusions from it is that the author spend nearly all his time among the wolves during the spring and summer months. Of course they ate mostly mice that time of year. But that food source is not available in abundance for wolves during the winter.
No, wolves don't tend to kill very many Caribou during the summer. (Nor in my part of the world, do they kill all that many of our resident ungulates -- deer and elk -- during those months.)
But during the winter, things tend to change... and drastically. For starters, winters brings what is, for wolves, the great equalizer. Deep snow. Animals that can escape them with great ease across dry ground become far more helpless when the have deep snow to contend with. The wolves' wide paws allow them to run on or near the surface, while the ungulates' sharp hooves will penetrate deep -- leaving the prey animals wallowing up to their bellies -- an easy target for wolves.
Also, the notion that hunters shoot "only the biggest and the best."
I can't speak to hunting Whitetail deer within the confines of wood lots and farm land in the east or Mid-West. But here in the Rocky Mountain West, most hunters never even SEE record-book trophy class animals. To put it simply, they don't get that big by being stupid. By the time a bull elk or buck deer reaches Boone & Crockett record book size, trust me, he is more than capable of giving the vast majority of weekend warriors the slip. Usually, this is accomplished by the animal simply going nocturnal -- not coming out during the daylight hours during the duration of hunting season.
I've hunted mule deer in the West for over 20 years. And I'm probably better than most hunters, and in better physical condition than many my age -- or even 10-15 years younger. But I've shot only one B&C class deer. Mostly, that has to do with not having the money or time off work available to invest in week-long hunts that involve camping out in the back country -- which is usually what it takes to harvest bucks or bulls of that caliber on a consistent basis. Rather, most of my deer hunts have been short ventures less than an hour from home -- where the primary goal was to get meat for the freezer. It's not really so much a lack of skill or from not trying to find the big bucks.. it's simply been a matter of not having the time to do so.
In short, if anybody thinks the average hunter can just stroll out, eye a herd of deer and say -- "hmmmmm... there's the biggest trophy buck, I'll shoot him, rather than take a small buck or doe for meat" -- I would contend that person is ignorant of the reality and challenges of hunting truly wild, free-ranging deer in the vast expanses of land that also support wolf habitat.
Shooting monster bucks and bulls on a regular basis could be said to be sort of like of like dating the prettiest, most popular girl in school. Many a guy might WANT to... but actually pulling it off is quite another matter.
Lastly, the hugest and buck and bulls with the most impressive racks very often ARE old and getting run down. More than one trophy hunter can tell you that buck or bull of a lifetime he shot had hardly any teeth left in his head, and therefore wasn't likely to have survived the coming winter anyway. In other words, they also are just the sort of animals in a weakened state that wolves would take.
