Obama trivia
Here are some less known facts about the brilliant orator and presidential hopeful:
- he used alcohol, marijuana, and cocaine during his teenage years to
"push questions of who I was, out of my mind"
- according to his own claims both parents were declared atheists
- His first name Barak is a specific Arabic first name and his middle name Hussein is
a specific Muslim name
- Despite the fat that he claims that he has never been raised as a Muslim, in the
various schools he attended in Jakarta, Indonesia, he was registered as a Muslim;
also, according to his sister Maya Soetoro, "the family did not attend the mosque
for regular worship, but for communal events"
- his father was a polygamist, as he was already married with a child, in Kenya,
when he married Barak Jr.'s mother: Ann Dunham; before divorcing her, he married
a 3rd woman, Ruth, while studying in Boston, MA
- his father's 3rd wife, Ruth, finally left him after he repeatedly
flew into whisky-fuelled rages, beating her brutally
- four years after his father's death, Obama Jr. traveled to his father's ancestral
Kenyan village. There he learned the full story of his father's life and met some of
his relatives
- after his father, he has 6 step-brothers and a step-sister
- after his own told recollections, he was tortured by fellow pupils - who let out monkey hoots -
and turned into a disenchanted teenage rebel, experimenting with cocaine, marijuana and alcohol
However a former classmate, Alan Lum, radically contradicts Barak's claim:
"Hawaii is such a melting pot that it didn't occur to me when we were growing up that
he might have problems about being one of the few African-Americans at the school. Us kids didn't see color. He was easy-going and well-liked."
- While at Columbia University, his book claims, "no matter how many times the
administration tried to paint them over, the walls remained scratched with blunt
correspondence (about) niggers."
But one of his classmates, Joe Zwicker, 45, now a lawyer in Boston, said:
"That surprises me. Columbia was a pretty tolerant place.
There were African American students in my classes and I never saw any evidence
of racism at all."
- Why would a devoted Christian from Chicago name his daughters: Malia and Sasha ?
- According to Chicago Sun of Feb 13, 08, a volunteer setting up an Obama office in Texas
had a Cuban flag with a picture of Che Guevara tacked up in her office
- the Italian translation of the book "Audacity of Hope" was published with an introduction
by Walter Vetroni, a former leader of the Italian Communist party
- One of Obama's good friend, campaign contributor and advisor is Tony Rezko, an Arab American, born in Syria, who is currently facing federal charges of attempted extortion, money laundering, and fraud; Obama had actually received nearly three times more campaign cash from Rezko and his associates than he has publicly acknowledged
- Obama's spiritual leader and counselor is Reverend Jeremiah Wright, who said in the
newly disclosed video that the 9/11 attacks were brought on by US "terrorism."
- One of Obama's fervent supporter is boxing champion Floyd Mayweather,
who was in fact several times convicted for violence;
- Barak has close association with the domestic terrorist organization
members William Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, as well as with Luis Farrakhan and
the Nation of Islam seniority
- he repeatedly ducked controversial stands in an apparent attempt to make it easier
to be elected to higher office. For example, as a state senator in Illinois,
he voted "present" rather than "aye" or "nay" nearly an astounding 130 times
- he is endorsed by former Black Panther Charles Barron, and by Louis Farrakhan, the leader of the "Nation of Islam"
- Obama is the most liberal of all 100 senators who has absolutely no military, executive or foreign policy experience

@a.malzan, Clinton campaign operative
a.malzan is almost certainly a Clinton campaign operative, as evidenced by the fact that this was his/her first post, and it consisted of nothing but off-topic smears against Obama. This is what happens after Salon pulls the plug on "Anonymous" postings. Instead you get total cowards and sock puppets who come in here to run hit jobs. Let's take a look at a.malzan's claims:
a.malzan: "he used alcohol, marijuana, and cocaine during his teenage years..."
OMG he did stuff when he was a teenager! Gotta laugh on the alcohol claim, as if no other presidential candidates have ever tried booze. At least Obama admitted that he inhaled marijuana. Bill Clinton lied on this important detail. If Bill smoked pot, it's likely Hillary toked up as well. Nobody has asked her about her drug history, but who could trust "Mrs. Dodging Sniper Fire" to be forthcoming anyway?
a.malzan: "according to his own claims both parents were declared atheists"
Oooh, spooky atheists. How spooky are atheists? Well, the people who wrote much of the Constitution and shaped the philosophy of U.S. government were also the equivalent of atheists, commonly known as Deists. Next...
a.malzan: "His first name Barak is a specific Arabic first name and his middle name Hussein is a specific Muslim name"
Maybe we should vote for whoever has the most boring name. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you Bob Jones for president! No, wait, John Smith! Ugh.
a.malzan: "Despite the fat that he claims that he has never been raised as a Muslim, in the various schools he attended in Jakarta, Indonesia, he was registered as a Muslim"
Booga booga! Scary! And your evidence is? And if it were true, it would matter how?
a.malzan: "also, according to his sister Maya Soetoro, "the family did not attend the mosque for regular worship, but for communal events""
Communal events.....that sounds sinister.
a.malzan: "his father was a polygamist, as he was already married with a child, in Kenya, when he married Barak Jr.'s mother: Ann Dunham; before divorcing her, he married
a 3rd woman, Ruth, while studying in Boston, MA"
If this is true, then I guess it means we're lucky Obama's father isn't running for president.
a.malzan: "his father's 3rd wife, Ruth, finally left him after he repeatedly flew into whisky-fuelled rages, beating her brutally"
Is this true? If so, it should make the dinner conversation with Obama and the 3 other ticket-holders much more interesting. Thanks for the ice-breaker!
a.malzan: Quoting a friend: "Hawaii is such a melting pot that it didn't occur to me when we were growing up that he might have problems about being one of the few African-Americans at the school. Us kids didn't see color. He was easy-going and well-liked."
Well-liked? We certainly wouldn't want a president like that.
a.malzan: "Why would a devoted Christian from Chicago name his daughters: Malia and Sasha?"
Indeed, why didn't he name them the most boring names possible? There must be something sinister in his choice of names!
a.malzan: "According to Chicago Sun of Feb 13, 08, a volunteer setting up an Obama office in Texas had a Cuban flag with a picture of Che Guevara tacked up in her office"
Oh my god! One of Obama's volunteers was an impressionable young liberal! Obama must be stopped!
a.malzan: "the Italian translation of the book "Audacity of Hope" was published with an introduction by Walter Vetroni, a former leader of the Italian Communist party"
Yikes, that must mean that Obama has Bolsheviks under his bed!
a.malzan: "One of Obama's good friend, campaign contributor and advisor is Tony Rezko, an Arab American..."
No way! Obama was friends with an Arab? Obama must be stopped at all costs! He knew an Arab guy!
a.malzan: "Obama's spiritual leader and counselor is Reverend Jeremiah Wright, who said in the newly disclosed video that the 9/11 attacks were brought on by US "terrorism.""
Whoa, somebody said something controversial? And gave examples and an explanation for what he meant and what his point was? And Obama knew him? Yikes. We should probably throw Obama in jail just for having heard of Wright!
a.malzan: "One of Obama's fervent supporter is boxing champion Floyd Mayweather, who was in fact several times convicted for violence;"
My goodness!
a.malzan: "as a state senator in Illinois, he voted "present" rather than "aye" or "nay" nearly an astounding 130 times"
That's because voting "present" is a common practice in the Illinois legislature, used by all state senators. But shhhhh....don't tell anybody about that, because if they remain ignorant they'll be swayed by this non-issue, which is what we want, right? To use bogus non-issues to persuade people in a disingenous manner?
a.malzan: "he is endorsed by former Black Panther Charles Barron, and by Louis Farrakhan, the leader of the "Nation of Islam""
Oooh, somebody baaaaad likes Obama. Even if Obama "rejects" and "denounces" this person, that's not good enough. Unless Obama rushes out to Farrakhan's house and lights a sack of dog poop on his porch, he will forever be tainted by the notion of this person "liking" him.
a.malzan: "Obama is the most liberal of all 100 senators who has absolutely no military, executive or foreign policy experience"
Oh my god -- you mean he's a liberal Democrat? My goodness! We wouldn't want our Democrats to represent liberal ideologies!
And you're right -- Obama has no military experience. Unlike Hillary Clinton, who bombed whole villages in Vietnam and gunned down scores of Elite Republican Guardsmen in the first Gulf War. Not to mention Hillary's harrowing escape from a hail of sniper fire in Bosnia.
You are right. Obama is a scary, scary Muslim-ish man, who knows scary Communist people, and who is.....well, scary. Thank you for enlightening us. I, for one, will be very careful to check for Bolsheviks under my meat loaf if I am invited to dinner with Obama.
