Obama, I have to know where all your own money came from?
I started looking into Obama's life. Around 1979 Obama started college at Occidental in California . He is very open about his two years at Occidental, he tried all kinds of drugs and was wasting his time but, even though he had a brilliant mind, did not apply himself to his studies. "Barry" (that was the name he used all his life) during this time had two roommates, Muhammad Hasan Chandoo and Wahid Hamid, both from Pakistan . During the summer of 1981, after his second year in college, he made a "round the world" trip. Stopping to see his mother in Indonesia , next Hyderabad in India , three weeks in Karachi , Pakistan where he stayed with his roommate's family, then off to Africa to visit his father's family. My question - Where did he get the money for this trip? Nether I, nor any one of my children would have had money for a trip like this when they where in college. When he came back he started school at Columbia University in New York . It is at this time he wants everyone to call him Barack - not Barry. Do you know what the tuition is at Columbia ? It's not cheap! to say the least. Where did he get money for tuition? Student Loans? Maybe. After Columbia , he went to Chicago to work as a Community Organizer for $12,000. a year. Why Chicago ? Why not New York ? He was already living in New York . By "chance" he met Antoin "Tony" Rezko, born in Aleppo Syria , and a real estate developer in Chicago . Rezko has been convicted of fraud and bribery this year. Rezko, was named "Entrepreneur of the Decade" by the Arab-American Business and Professional Association". About two years later, Obama entered Harvard Law School . Do you have any idea what tuition is for Harvard Law School ? Where did he get the money for Law School ? More student loans? After Law school, he went back to Chicago . Rezko offered him a job, which he turned down. But, he did take a job with Davis, Miner, Barnhill & Galland. Guess what? They represented "Rezar" which Rezko's firm. Rezko was one of Obama's first major financial contributors when he ran for office in Chicago . In 2003, Rezko threw an early fundraiser for Obama which Chicago Tribune reporter David Mendelland claims was instrumental in providing Obama with "seed money" for his U.S. Senate race. In 2005, Obama purchased a new home in Kenwoood District of Chicago for $1.65 million (less than asking price). With ALL those Student Loans - Where did he get the money for the property? On the same day Rezko's wife, Rita, purchased the adjoining empty lot for full price. The London Times reported that Nadhmi Auchi, an Iraqi-born Billionaire loaned Rezko $3.5 million three weeks before Obama's new home was purchased. Obama met Nadhmi Auchi many times with Rezko. Now, we have Obama running for President. Valerie Jarrett, was Michele Obama's boss. She is now Obama's chief advisor and he does not make any major decisions without talking to her first. Where was Jarrett born? Ready for this? Shiraz , Iran ! Do we see a pattern here? Or am I going crazy? On May 10, 2008 The Times reported, Robert Malley advisor to Obama was "sacked" after the press found out he was having regular contacts with "Hamas", which controls Gaza and is connected with Iran . This past week, buried in the back part of the papers, Iraqi newspapers reported that during Obama's visit to Iraq , he asked their leaders to do nothing about the war until after he is elected, and he will "Take care of things". Oh, and by the way, remember the college roommates that where born in Pakistan ? They are in charge of all those "small" Internet campaign contribution for Obama. Where is that money coming from? The poor and middle class in this country? Or could it be from the Middle East ? And the final bit of news. On September 7, 2008, The Washington Times posted a verbal slip that was made on "This Week" with George Stephanapoulos. Obama on talking about his religion said, "My Muslim faith". When questioned, "he make a mistake". Some mistake! All of the above information I got on line. If you would like to check it - Wikipedia, encyclopedia, Barack Obama; Tony Rezko; Valerie Jarrett: Daily Times - Obama visited Pakistan in 1981; The Washington Times - September 7, 2008; The Times May 10, 2008. Now the BIG question - If I found out all this information on my own, Why haven't all of our "intelligent" members of the press been reporting this? A phrase that keeps ringing in my ear - "Beware of the enemy from within"!!!

And you can add this too: In June, Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi gave a public speech praising Obama, claiming foreign nationals were donating to his campaign. “All the people in the Arab and Islamic world and in Africa applauded this man,†the Libyan leader said. “They welcomed him and prayed for him and for his success, and they may have even been involved in legitimate contribution campaigns to enable him to win the American presidency..." Though Gadhafi asserted that fundraising from Arab and African nations were “legitimate,†the fact is that U.S. federal law bans any foreigner from donating to a U.S. election campaign.

Well, at least we all know where Grandpa McCain's money comes form; his wife Cindy! A phrase that keeps ringing in my ear - "Beware old poops who have no idea how many houses they own where Spain is or who choose idiot bimbos from Alaska as running mates, you betcha wink wink!!!!"

Wrote 2 best selling books and made millions. Professor of Constitutional Law at the University of Chicago. Wife works an Executive of a hospial chain in Chicago. Senator from Illinois. Combine all these and it's easy to see how he made millions. OBAMA BIDEN '08.

I know lots of kids who traveled around between college and grad school. It doesn't cost that much when you're staying with family or friends along the way. He was working and living modestly prior and probably saved up the money. As for worrying about the enemy within, you ought to start looking at Palin's connection with Al Qaueda and Bin Laden.

He's a lawyer, and he works for the gvt idiot. Those are two of the best paying jobs out there.

The liberal press are in love with him he can do no wrong everyone is crazy. I'll tell you Jimmy Carter came into office hoping to restore dignity to the White House after the nightmare of Watergate.

And like a new crush, you don’t see all the “blemishes". Obama if elected will be another Carter like waking up after a bad hang over to discover elephant man lying in your bed next to you. A freak'n nightmare!

Have you ever traveled outside of your mothers basement? Traveling overseas is not as expensive as you seem to think, especially if you have friends or family to stay with.

Someone spliced together only his misstatement and was emailing it with the false claim Obama "admits" the Muslim faith. It's clear in the full context that he's giving the McCain campaign credit for not participating in spreading the rumor that he is a Muslim. He's not saying he is a Muslim. Quite apart from that, let's not stoop to portraying "Muslim" as the equivalent of evil. That's ugly and destructive.

Does Adoption always offer a 'Better Life' as claimed by some here?
Does Adoption always offer a 'Better Life' as claimed by some here?
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,529184,00.html?mrp Friday, June 26, 2009 WASHINGTON — A Duke University official has been arrested and charged with offering his adopted 5-year-old son for sex. Frank Lombard, the school's associate director of the Center for Health Policy, was arrested after an Internet sting, according to the FBI's Washington field office and the city's police department. According to an affidavit by District of Columbia Police Det. Timothy Palchak, an unnamed informant facing charges in his own child sex case led authorities to Lombard. Authorities said that Lombard tried to persuade a person — who he did not know was a police officer — to travel to North Carolina to have sex with Lombard's child. The detective's affidavit charges Lombard identified himself online as "perv dad for fun," and says that in an online chat with the detective, Lombard said he had sexually molested his son, whom he adopted as an infant. The court papers say Lombard also invited the undercover detective to North Carolina to have sex with the young boy, and even suggested which hotel he should use. Lombard was charged in federal court in Washington with attempting to induce someone to cross state lines to engage in sex with a child. If convicted, he could face a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison. Lombard's lawyer did not immediately return a call seeking comment. Michael Schoenfeld, vice president for public affairs at Duke, said Lombard has been employed with Duke University since 1999. He is now on unpaid administrative leave. "Duke is cooperating with the investigation," Schoenfeld said. He said the university was notified of the incident after Lombard was arrested. Authorities executed a search warrant Wednesday evening at Lombard's home, according to court documents. The papers show investigators seized two webcams, five computers and a sex toy, among other items. ETA fair point Jen but people do go on and on about the hoops PAPs have to jump through and the stringent background checks they are subject to. . . ETA: So, your point is it's OK because bios do it too. yee gads. ETA. That's fortunate Sharon. Doesn't help this little guy though does it Is that all they do then? Criminal check. They don't speak to family or colleagues, get character references. C'mon someone had to know he was a perv

well, the hope is for a chance at a better life. Life really has no guarantees. i really hate it when they include the words "adopted" in stories. why can't they just say "son" why include term.
2 :
*sigh* So, should I find another article about a child being abued and killed by their biological parents and hold it up as an example of "death by not being adopted?" I really hate these questions. ETA: So, your point is that background checks aren't always 100% foolproof? Nobody here is going to argue that. If the guy didn't have a criminal record, there would be nothing for a background check to find. (And most adoption agencies/states require references as well. Are you so sure SOMEONE must have known he was a perv? I was reading about a high school principal being arrested for child molestation recently. Talk about fingerprinting and background checks that need to be run there!) ETA2: Of course not. Please don't be intentionally obtuse. *eyeroll* Never did I say that child abuse by an adoptive parent is excusable because biological parents do it. For those who need me to spell it out: It is neither fair, nor logical to hold up an example of child abuse by an adoptive parent to make a sweeping judgment against ALL adoptions, just as it is neither fair, nor logical to hold up an example of child abuse by a biological parent to make a sweeping judgement against ALL biological parents.

of course it doesnt always offer a better life. but often it does. people on here claim adoption is always a bad thing which is nonsense. that man could easily have had a bio child and treated it the same way. the fact the child was abused has nothing to do with it being adopted.
8 :
"Is that all they do then? Criminal check. They don't speak to family or colleagues, get character references. C'mon someone had to know he was a perv" Nope...they don't talk to ANYONE without the PAP's permission. Pretty easy to get through the system that way. The process needs MORE checks and balances. This question has me curious...how many people actually HAVE received a 'better life' from adoption? I know there are a few here for whom their adoption was necessary, but other than that, most adoptees seem to have either gotten a 'different' life - not better - or a worse life. Of course, only those who are in reunion would know the answer to that question...but of those who actually know their first families and can make a reasonable guess, it seems that those who actually got a better life are in the minority.
9 :
Good Grief! I can't believe a few of the answers you have received here. Implying that if bio-parents can abuse children...then let's the adoptor off the hook as well, and that.. O! Well! happens in bio-families too! It is absolutely insane the degree that some people will go to justify that which no justification even exists. This f**kin pervert should be castrated and then put in a cell with 10 giant dudes with peckers to match...that will rape him over and over again. I think in this case...An eye for an eye...would be very just punishment. The death penalty would be the easy way out for him. This child was adopted as an 'infant'..I am seriously suspecting then this poor child was not removed from his mother for 'abuse & neglect'. And even if he was...My God...to endure even more horror such as this. Really makes me question about a so-called 'merciful god'. Or was this 'God's Plan' that this child was born to the wrong mother/parent..and God 'chose' adoption for this boy to be adopted by a pervert?? O! I bet not in this case...in this case..it wouldn't be "God's Plan" for him to be adopted by this perv. So who 'chose' this perv for adoption?? Nope not 'God's Plan' this time...must be the irresponsible burfmuggle...mistakes in the home-study...the Government!! Nope, surely not the Almighty God's Hand was involved in this particular adoption 'plan'. Is there a 'Satan's Plan' for adoption as well? I am so sorry this poor little boy ever had to endure such horrific suffering...NO child...non-adopted or adopted should ever be so horribly abused.
10 :
I don't know why it's so hard for people to get that adoption is not really a "better" life, but a different path. A life in squalor could be a "better" life for me because I would have the love of my biological parents. A life with adoptive parents could be "better" because it offered more opportunity. You never know which is better for you because you can't go back and take the other road to find out. And "better" is subjective anyway. It is kind of closed minded to say to make the argument he could have been molested by biological family too. The whole argument used to convince moms into surrender is the "better life" thing. It makes me sad when adoptive parents and potential adoptive parents say there should be less restriction on adoption. There should be more restrictions and it SHOULD be difficult. These kids deserve the best parents they can get after already having lost their natural parents. They don't deserve to have standards lowered and crappy parents let in. Some people will say "oh well biological children have crappy parents too". But biological parents have not already been forced to endure the loss of their natural parents and sometimes their country and culture all at one time. The kind of people who would say something like that obviously don't care about children
11 :
The thing about adoption is that somehow, we're supposed to believe the children are chosen. In fact, the adoptive parents are the ones who are chosen, and in this case, wow, what a completely horrendous choice. This is exactly why I have no sympathy for anyone complaining about what they have to 'go through' to adopt. This is exactly the type of person that is NOT supposed to be chosen to be a parent. And enough of this 'as if born to' garbage. The fact is, this kid WASN'T born to this guy. He was intentionally placed with him through a complete failure of society's institutions. Those directly responsible for the placement of this child should be held personally accountable for his fate. Unfortunately, they won't be.
12 :
What happened to this boy is terrible, no matter what the circumstances were. He should have never had to be abused in such a disgusting, twisted way and his adoptive father deserves the worst of all punishments. But for those who do the shrug and the, "So what. It happens in bio families too," there is something you aren't seeing or recognizing. Yes abuse is terrible and nobody should ever have to go through that and every one case is too many. But to not see and understand the fact that there is a reality out there that those like my son (and more than likely this poor boy) were abused BECAUSE of adoption. Because that promise of a "better life" is a myth, a lie, fed to keep the billion dollar profits rolling within the industry. Perhaps it might be too hard for some to imagine, but try to be a young, confused pregnant woman sitting in a so-called counselors office being told if she kept her child she might abuse or neglect him or her even though there is absolutely no history, no signs, nothing to prove that true except for the fact she happens to be unexpectedly pregnant. It is drummed into your head, over and over again, that strangers with more money, possessions, married, college degrees, will be much better parents than you could ever hope to be. They stress how they are so careful in making sure these strangers are "good and fit" parents with the home study, background checks, etc . . . And then fast-forward twenty-years and that same confused, pregnant woman has grown and changed because that is what life is about. She has raised, loved and nurtured three more children. She never abused or neglected. Never left them to struggle on their own or be without the comfort and security of knowing she was there for them. And then she is reunited with her oldest child who she surrendered and she learns he has been mentally and physically abused by those who were supposively "better" than her. That her child's life turned out to be everything she didn't want for him and she had been unable to protect her child from that horror in the same way she had always protected her other children from any such ugliness. Imagine seeing such pain on your child's face and knowing, regardless of all the games the adoption agency pulled on you to be sure you surrendered your child, it was still you who put your child in his adoptive mother's arms. You who so naively believed the "better life" bull they fed you. Imagine knowing your child had been hurt and being unable to do anything about it, to change it, to make it better for him. That is why pregnant women have to be aware of these truths in adoption. It isn't something to shrug at and brush aside as it happens here or there too. It is a fact they deserve to know because this boy, my son, and others were abused and neglected BECAUSE of adoption, because others believed the one who could write the check and pass some homestudy tests were the ones who would offer that "better" life when they in reality offered a much worse life than our children would have had with us, with the mother's who loved them before they were ever born and would never harm them in the way they were by their adoptive parents.
13 :
I would say "no" because there are no guarantees. We certainly read more stories of children being sexually abused by a family member than an adoptive parent. An when it's an adoptive parent that commits the crime the headlines are bigger,.it sells more papers, the media do a double take. It's not supposed to happen in adoptive homes and it's not supposed to happen in bio homes but it DOES. It is a shame and a disgrace for any parent to abuse a child and measures need to be implemented to save all children from abuse and neglect. The agency does a background check, runs the fingerprints through the FBI, and DOES talk to other contacts with out the person's consent, which can include the police dept. and sheriff's dept. There are other checks that are run also.
14 :
Sometimes it is. Sometimes it is not. Obviously it was NOT in the case of the young boy in this article. There is no one size fits all answer to this question.
15 :
Of course adoption does not always offer a better life. And that is one of its big failings....because adoption is supposed to be the 'safety net." Adoption is supposed to serve the needs of children who have lost their family and home. The fact that bio-families can abuse children is relevant ONLY because some children need adoption due to removal from the bio-family home because of abuse. If children who have been abused or orphaned are then adopted and subjected to further harm..that is a double failure. Someone needs to be looking out for these children. I don't understand the flippant view that says"oh, well, bios abuse, too..."
16 :
I believe that it is imperative that these stories be shown. I think that when someone adopts, they have set themselves up as better than the natural parents to care for the child and by so doing, are held to a higher standard. It is a standard that they have established, and one to which they need to be held, I believe. Despite what the literature says, adoptive families are NOT like natural families. No natural family is predicated on loss. Natural families just happen, often times. Adoptive families don't. They are carefully planned and so the stresses should not come as a surprise. They should have been trained to expect them. Just my opinion, of course. I expect that there will be some who will wholeheartedly disagree with it. I don't care. When you designate yourself as more prepared, have more resources, better in every single way to parent the child than the mother that Nature intended, the expectations are pretty darn high!
17 :
I believe in alot of cases, it's not better - just different (from a non-abusive home to a different non-abusive home OR from an abusive home to an abusive home). But, in some, yes, better (say from an abusive home to a non-abusive home). Further, in few cases, it's worse - not better (from non-abusive homes to abusive homes).
18 :
Give me a break. There will ALWAYS be a nut of a parent whether the child is adopted, biological or a foster kid. I just hope this kid is not fu cked up for life because of that piece of crap. And no, people don't walk around with "perv" written on their foreheads.You would be surprised in how many people you personally know who are into weird sh it.

Dear Heather, I live 20 minutes from Durham and when I saw this I was absolutely horrified. As a FM it is one of my GREATEST FEARS. What makes me truly ill are the quotes from the perpetrator I heard on the news this evening: "A search warrant filed for Lombard's house further outlines the case against him, and includes a transcript of the chat between Palchak and "F.L." In the chat transcript, "F.L." is asked how he got access to a child so young. "Adopted," he replied, and said that the process was "not so hard ... esp (sic) for a black boy." In the chat, "F.L.� told Palchak that abusing the child was "easier when he was too young to know what was happening and when he couldn't talk ...He had a little too much Benadryl. Was knocked out."" http://www.wral.com/news/local/story/5445704/ On another local news report this evening, some of Lombard's computer exchanges were quoted. In them, he talks about how much easier it is to molest "a non-related child" because there is "less stress" about the effects on the child. I almost threw up when I saw/heard it. Lombard and his partner have two adopted children. The victim was adopted as a newborn. It is sickening to think that his intentions were to abuse this child all along. I cannot help but wonder about the other child and the partner (Was he aware? Imagine the guilt if he wasn't! Lombard's computer records show his partner was often traveling on business.) too. There is much more to come out here and I am deeply saddened and worried for the children. This man's selfish and disgusting actions have ruined countless lives and 20 years is not justice for what he has taken away from so many - ESPECIALLY these children (who knows how many OTHER victims there are - he was obviously NOT a novice). I totally agree with you that there should be "truth in advertising" on ALL sides of adoption. It is true that there is no guarantee that adoption offers a "better life"; only a different one as others have said. Yes. Abuse DOES sometimes happen in biological families, however multiple studies indicate that crime occurs more frequently among non-blood related people - even in "family crimes". This in NO WAY means that there are not wonderful and loving adoptive families who who never ever dream of abusing their children. Family crimes only account for an estimated 12% of American crimes to begin with. Abuse happens in all kinds of situations, but people should exercise extra caution when entrusting their child to someone else because THERE ARE NO GUARANTEES. People considering adoption should be told that closest guarantee to an assurance of the safest place for their child is with THEM unless they are a danger themselves. IMO, while this case is NOT TYPICAL, it IS another example of how things can go horribly wrong and how the system is in need of reform. A huge dose of HONESTY would be a great start...

Yes there are a zillion hoops for adoptive parents to go through. I am going to think they are MORE stringent in foster care/state than those who are paying money to aodpt. I don't think it is alwasy a better life. I think ways it CAN be worse is: -Closed adoption/no talk of adoption hidden/secret etc. -Parents try to buy love -People thinking they are saving the children -People not understanding the true needs of their children and work through the loss -Ashholes being allowed to adopt. I think it our case we won't say it is "better". We are good parents we know this, but in the end the better life woudl have been for mom to not have gone through her own childhood in foster care and had made better choices that did not leave the children negelcted. Yes we give a better life in that we are good parents, we feed our children etc. etc. etc, but the true better lifve I think woudl have been to have their first mom be able to parent. Alas she wasn't which is why we came in. My children will have a great life, but "better"? I can't judge what is better. They will be happy and be given opportuniteis to grow and learn and develop, but they will always have to deal with the pain of their original loss, so how is that truly "better"

If he had done that to any child, I know Everyone would pity the fool, After I got done with him. Good old street justice! He could only get 20 yrs. What ever!
22 :
Of course not, that is just like saying EVERY adoption is horrible and ALL adopted children will end up abused.
23 :
No. In some cases where a child has been abused it is better but generally their lives are just different, no better no worse. The one of the worst cases I heard of which came from the horse's mouth rather than reading it in a newspaper came from someone I 'met' online and we became friends. Her mother suffered badly with post natal depression after having her third child so went to see her doctor. Unfortunately this was during the Cleveland Scandal - http://www.gazettelive.co.uk/news/teesside-news/2008/07/08/20-years-on-from-the-cleveland-child-sex-abuse-scandal-84229-21303317/ - so instead of her mum being treated all three children were removed. The accusation was that their dad was abusing them. Eventually two years after the accusation their parents successfully fought to get their daughters back out of a foster care home. The judge agreed that whilst none of the children should have been removed their brother who had gone to foster parents should stay with them as he had got attached to them and was adopted. A few years ago they were found by another young man who had been adopted by the same couple. His tale was horrific as this couple had systematically abused every child they had fostered and adopted. One of the girls they adopted committed suicide. Despite reports of the abuse the couple weren't prosecuted but around this time the lad that found my friend's family lost it and hit his adad. To cut a long story short the truth finally came out. The lad told my firend and family that her brother had done a runner as he couldn't take the abuse any more shortly before he found them. The family still don't know where he is.
24 :
No - not always. Every parent who claims that he/she has "chosen" adoption because the child will have a better life should be required to read this: "Some of Lombard's computer exchanges were quoted. In them, he talks about how much easier it is to molest "a non-related child" because there is "less stress" about the effects on the child." And - Remember this piece of dirt? "Joel Steinberg (born May 25, 1941), a former New York criminal defense attorney, attracted international media attention when he was accused of murder and convicted of manslaughter in the November 1, 1987, death of a six-year-old girl, Elizabeth ("Lisa"), whom he and his live-in partner Hedda Nussbaum had "adopted". During the trial, it was revealed that Lisa was also sexually abused by non-family members. Now there's a better life. As Mama Kate said, every parent who thinks that adoption is better should think carefully about these cases and weigh the risk they are taking by giving their children away to strangers who are *cough-cough* "screened" by the adoption industry. I would never in a million years recommend that anyone take this risk with strangers.

The poor kid :( And no, it doesn't. Abuse is unfortunate and could happen whether adopted or not. Perverts like Lombard should be locked up for life
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,529184,00.html?mrp Friday, June 26, 2009 WASHINGTON — A Duke University official has been arrested and charged with offering his adopted 5-year-old son for sex. Frank Lombard, the school's associate director of the Center for Health Policy, was arrested after an Internet sting, according to the FBI's Washington field office and the city's police department. According to an affidavit by District of Columbia Police Det. Timothy Palchak, an unnamed informant facing charges in his own child sex case led authorities to Lombard. Authorities said that Lombard tried to persuade a person — who he did not know was a police officer — to travel to North Carolina to have sex with Lombard's child. The detective's affidavit charges Lombard identified himself online as "perv dad for fun," and says that in an online chat with the detective, Lombard said he had sexually molested his son, whom he adopted as an infant. The court papers say Lombard also invited the undercover detective to North Carolina to have sex with the young boy, and even suggested which hotel he should use. Lombard was charged in federal court in Washington with attempting to induce someone to cross state lines to engage in sex with a child. If convicted, he could face a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison. Lombard's lawyer did not immediately return a call seeking comment. Michael Schoenfeld, vice president for public affairs at Duke, said Lombard has been employed with Duke University since 1999. He is now on unpaid administrative leave. "Duke is cooperating with the investigation," Schoenfeld said. He said the university was notified of the incident after Lombard was arrested. Authorities executed a search warrant Wednesday evening at Lombard's home, according to court documents. The papers show investigators seized two webcams, five computers and a sex toy, among other items.

well, the hope is for a chance at a better life. Life really has no guarantees. i really hate it when they include the words "adopted" in stories. why can't they just say "son" why include term.
2 :
*sigh* So, should I find another article about a child being abued and killed by their biological parents and hold it up as an example of "death by not being adopted?" I really hate these questions. ETA: So, your point is that background checks aren't always 100% foolproof? Nobody here is going to argue that. If the guy didn't have a criminal record, there would be nothing for a background check to find. (And most adoption agencies/states require references as well. Are you so sure SOMEONE must have known he was a perv? I was reading about a high school principal being arrested for child molestation recently. Talk about fingerprinting and background checks that need to be run there!) ETA2: Of course not. Please don't be intentionally obtuse. *eyeroll* Never did I say that child abuse by an adoptive parent is excusable because biological parents do it. For those who need me to spell it out: It is neither fair, nor logical to hold up an example of child abuse by an adoptive parent to make a sweeping judgment against ALL adoptions, just as it is neither fair, nor logical to hold up an example of child abuse by a biological parent to make a sweeping judgement against ALL biological parents.

of course it doesnt always offer a better life. but often it does. people on here claim adoption is always a bad thing which is nonsense. that man could easily have had a bio child and treated it the same way. the fact the child was abused has nothing to do with it being adopted.
8 :
"Is that all they do then? Criminal check. They don't speak to family or colleagues, get character references. C'mon someone had to know he was a perv" Nope...they don't talk to ANYONE without the PAP's permission. Pretty easy to get through the system that way. The process needs MORE checks and balances. This question has me curious...how many people actually HAVE received a 'better life' from adoption? I know there are a few here for whom their adoption was necessary, but other than that, most adoptees seem to have either gotten a 'different' life - not better - or a worse life. Of course, only those who are in reunion would know the answer to that question...but of those who actually know their first families and can make a reasonable guess, it seems that those who actually got a better life are in the minority.
9 :
Good Grief! I can't believe a few of the answers you have received here. Implying that if bio-parents can abuse children...then let's the adoptor off the hook as well, and that.. O! Well! happens in bio-families too! It is absolutely insane the degree that some people will go to justify that which no justification even exists. This f**kin pervert should be castrated and then put in a cell with 10 giant dudes with peckers to match...that will rape him over and over again. I think in this case...An eye for an eye...would be very just punishment. The death penalty would be the easy way out for him. This child was adopted as an 'infant'..I am seriously suspecting then this poor child was not removed from his mother for 'abuse & neglect'. And even if he was...My God...to endure even more horror such as this. Really makes me question about a so-called 'merciful god'. Or was this 'God's Plan' that this child was born to the wrong mother/parent..and God 'chose' adoption for this boy to be adopted by a pervert?? O! I bet not in this case...in this case..it wouldn't be "God's Plan" for him to be adopted by this perv. So who 'chose' this perv for adoption?? Nope not 'God's Plan' this time...must be the irresponsible burfmuggle...mistakes in the home-study...the Government!! Nope, surely not the Almighty God's Hand was involved in this particular adoption 'plan'. Is there a 'Satan's Plan' for adoption as well? I am so sorry this poor little boy ever had to endure such horrific suffering...NO child...non-adopted or adopted should ever be so horribly abused.
10 :
I don't know why it's so hard for people to get that adoption is not really a "better" life, but a different path. A life in squalor could be a "better" life for me because I would have the love of my biological parents. A life with adoptive parents could be "better" because it offered more opportunity. You never know which is better for you because you can't go back and take the other road to find out. And "better" is subjective anyway. It is kind of closed minded to say to make the argument he could have been molested by biological family too. The whole argument used to convince moms into surrender is the "better life" thing. It makes me sad when adoptive parents and potential adoptive parents say there should be less restriction on adoption. There should be more restrictions and it SHOULD be difficult. These kids deserve the best parents they can get after already having lost their natural parents. They don't deserve to have standards lowered and crappy parents let in. Some people will say "oh well biological children have crappy parents too". But biological parents have not already been forced to endure the loss of their natural parents and sometimes their country and culture all at one time. The kind of people who would say something like that obviously don't care about children
11 :
The thing about adoption is that somehow, we're supposed to believe the children are chosen. In fact, the adoptive parents are the ones who are chosen, and in this case, wow, what a completely horrendous choice. This is exactly why I have no sympathy for anyone complaining about what they have to 'go through' to adopt. This is exactly the type of person that is NOT supposed to be chosen to be a parent. And enough of this 'as if born to' garbage. The fact is, this kid WASN'T born to this guy. He was intentionally placed with him through a complete failure of society's institutions. Those directly responsible for the placement of this child should be held personally accountable for his fate. Unfortunately, they won't be.
12 :
What happened to this boy is terrible, no matter what the circumstances were. He should have never had to be abused in such a disgusting, twisted way and his adoptive father deserves the worst of all punishments. But for those who do the shrug and the, "So what. It happens in bio families too," there is something you aren't seeing or recognizing. Yes abuse is terrible and nobody should ever have to go through that and every one case is too many. But to not see and understand the fact that there is a reality out there that those like my son (and more than likely this poor boy) were abused BECAUSE of adoption. Because that promise of a "better life" is a myth, a lie, fed to keep the billion dollar profits rolling within the industry. Perhaps it might be too hard for some to imagine, but try to be a young, confused pregnant woman sitting in a so-called counselors office being told if she kept her child she might abuse or neglect him or her even though there is absolutely no history, no signs, nothing to prove that true except for the fact she happens to be unexpectedly pregnant. It is drummed into your head, over and over again, that strangers with more money, possessions, married, college degrees, will be much better parents than you could ever hope to be. They stress how they are so careful in making sure these strangers are "good and fit" parents with the home study, background checks, etc . . . And then fast-forward twenty-years and that same confused, pregnant woman has grown and changed because that is what life is about. She has raised, loved and nurtured three more children. She never abused or neglected. Never left them to struggle on their own or be without the comfort and security of knowing she was there for them. And then she is reunited with her oldest child who she surrendered and she learns he has been mentally and physically abused by those who were supposively "better" than her. That her child's life turned out to be everything she didn't want for him and she had been unable to protect her child from that horror in the same way she had always protected her other children from any such ugliness. Imagine seeing such pain on your child's face and knowing, regardless of all the games the adoption agency pulled on you to be sure you surrendered your child, it was still you who put your child in his adoptive mother's arms. You who so naively believed the "better life" bull they fed you. Imagine knowing your child had been hurt and being unable to do anything about it, to change it, to make it better for him. That is why pregnant women have to be aware of these truths in adoption. It isn't something to shrug at and brush aside as it happens here or there too. It is a fact they deserve to know because this boy, my son, and others were abused and neglected BECAUSE of adoption, because others believed the one who could write the check and pass some homestudy tests were the ones who would offer that "better" life when they in reality offered a much worse life than our children would have had with us, with the mother's who loved them before they were ever born and would never harm them in the way they were by their adoptive parents.
13 :
I would say "no" because there are no guarantees. We certainly read more stories of children being sexually abused by a family member than an adoptive parent. An when it's an adoptive parent that commits the crime the headlines are bigger,.it sells more papers, the media do a double take. It's not supposed to happen in adoptive homes and it's not supposed to happen in bio homes but it DOES. It is a shame and a disgrace for any parent to abuse a child and measures need to be implemented to save all children from abuse and neglect. The agency does a background check, runs the fingerprints through the FBI, and DOES talk to other contacts with out the person's consent, which can include the police dept. and sheriff's dept. There are other checks that are run also.
14 :
Sometimes it is. Sometimes it is not. Obviously it was NOT in the case of the young boy in this article. There is no one size fits all answer to this question.
15 :
Of course adoption does not always offer a better life. And that is one of its big failings....because adoption is supposed to be the 'safety net." Adoption is supposed to serve the needs of children who have lost their family and home. The fact that bio-families can abuse children is relevant ONLY because some children need adoption due to removal from the bio-family home because of abuse. If children who have been abused or orphaned are then adopted and subjected to further harm..that is a double failure. Someone needs to be looking out for these children. I don't understand the flippant view that says"oh, well, bios abuse, too..."
16 :
I believe that it is imperative that these stories be shown. I think that when someone adopts, they have set themselves up as better than the natural parents to care for the child and by so doing, are held to a higher standard. It is a standard that they have established, and one to which they need to be held, I believe. Despite what the literature says, adoptive families are NOT like natural families. No natural family is predicated on loss. Natural families just happen, often times. Adoptive families don't. They are carefully planned and so the stresses should not come as a surprise. They should have been trained to expect them. Just my opinion, of course. I expect that there will be some who will wholeheartedly disagree with it. I don't care. When you designate yourself as more prepared, have more resources, better in every single way to parent the child than the mother that Nature intended, the expectations are pretty darn high!
17 :
I believe in alot of cases, it's not better - just different (from a non-abusive home to a different non-abusive home OR from an abusive home to an abusive home). But, in some, yes, better (say from an abusive home to a non-abusive home). Further, in few cases, it's worse - not better (from non-abusive homes to abusive homes).
18 :
Give me a break. There will ALWAYS be a nut of a parent whether the child is adopted, biological or a foster kid. I just hope this kid is not fu cked up for life because of that piece of crap. And no, people don't walk around with "perv" written on their foreheads.You would be surprised in how many people you personally know who are into weird sh it.

Dear Heather, I live 20 minutes from Durham and when I saw this I was absolutely horrified. As a FM it is one of my GREATEST FEARS. What makes me truly ill are the quotes from the perpetrator I heard on the news this evening: "A search warrant filed for Lombard's house further outlines the case against him, and includes a transcript of the chat between Palchak and "F.L." In the chat transcript, "F.L." is asked how he got access to a child so young. "Adopted," he replied, and said that the process was "not so hard ... esp (sic) for a black boy." In the chat, "F.L.� told Palchak that abusing the child was "easier when he was too young to know what was happening and when he couldn't talk ...He had a little too much Benadryl. Was knocked out."" http://www.wral.com/news/local/story/5445704/ On another local news report this evening, some of Lombard's computer exchanges were quoted. In them, he talks about how much easier it is to molest "a non-related child" because there is "less stress" about the effects on the child. I almost threw up when I saw/heard it. Lombard and his partner have two adopted children. The victim was adopted as a newborn. It is sickening to think that his intentions were to abuse this child all along. I cannot help but wonder about the other child and the partner (Was he aware? Imagine the guilt if he wasn't! Lombard's computer records show his partner was often traveling on business.) too. There is much more to come out here and I am deeply saddened and worried for the children. This man's selfish and disgusting actions have ruined countless lives and 20 years is not justice for what he has taken away from so many - ESPECIALLY these children (who knows how many OTHER victims there are - he was obviously NOT a novice). I totally agree with you that there should be "truth in advertising" on ALL sides of adoption. It is true that there is no guarantee that adoption offers a "better life"; only a different one as others have said. Yes. Abuse DOES sometimes happen in biological families, however multiple studies indicate that crime occurs more frequently among non-blood related people - even in "family crimes". This in NO WAY means that there are not wonderful and loving adoptive families who who never ever dream of abusing their children. Family crimes only account for an estimated 12% of American crimes to begin with. Abuse happens in all kinds of situations, but people should exercise extra caution when entrusting their child to someone else because THERE ARE NO GUARANTEES. People considering adoption should be told that closest guarantee to an assurance of the safest place for their child is with THEM unless they are a danger themselves. IMO, while this case is NOT TYPICAL, it IS another example of how things can go horribly wrong and how the system is in need of reform. A huge dose of HONESTY would be a great start...

Yes there are a zillion hoops for adoptive parents to go through. I am going to think they are MORE stringent in foster care/state than those who are paying money to aodpt. I don't think it is alwasy a better life. I think ways it CAN be worse is: -Closed adoption/no talk of adoption hidden/secret etc. -Parents try to buy love -People thinking they are saving the children -People not understanding the true needs of their children and work through the loss -Ashholes being allowed to adopt. I think it our case we won't say it is "better". We are good parents we know this, but in the end the better life woudl have been for mom to not have gone through her own childhood in foster care and had made better choices that did not leave the children negelcted. Yes we give a better life in that we are good parents, we feed our children etc. etc. etc, but the true better lifve I think woudl have been to have their first mom be able to parent. Alas she wasn't which is why we came in. My children will have a great life, but "better"? I can't judge what is better. They will be happy and be given opportuniteis to grow and learn and develop, but they will always have to deal with the pain of their original loss, so how is that truly "better"

If he had done that to any child, I know Everyone would pity the fool, After I got done with him. Good old street justice! He could only get 20 yrs. What ever!
22 :
Of course not, that is just like saying EVERY adoption is horrible and ALL adopted children will end up abused.
23 :
No. In some cases where a child has been abused it is better but generally their lives are just different, no better no worse. The one of the worst cases I heard of which came from the horse's mouth rather than reading it in a newspaper came from someone I 'met' online and we became friends. Her mother suffered badly with post natal depression after having her third child so went to see her doctor. Unfortunately this was during the Cleveland Scandal - http://www.gazettelive.co.uk/news/teesside-news/2008/07/08/20-years-on-from-the-cleveland-child-sex-abuse-scandal-84229-21303317/ - so instead of her mum being treated all three children were removed. The accusation was that their dad was abusing them. Eventually two years after the accusation their parents successfully fought to get their daughters back out of a foster care home. The judge agreed that whilst none of the children should have been removed their brother who had gone to foster parents should stay with them as he had got attached to them and was adopted. A few years ago they were found by another young man who had been adopted by the same couple. His tale was horrific as this couple had systematically abused every child they had fostered and adopted. One of the girls they adopted committed suicide. Despite reports of the abuse the couple weren't prosecuted but around this time the lad that found my friend's family lost it and hit his adad. To cut a long story short the truth finally came out. The lad told my firend and family that her brother had done a runner as he couldn't take the abuse any more shortly before he found them. The family still don't know where he is.
24 :
No - not always. Every parent who claims that he/she has "chosen" adoption because the child will have a better life should be required to read this: "Some of Lombard's computer exchanges were quoted. In them, he talks about how much easier it is to molest "a non-related child" because there is "less stress" about the effects on the child." And - Remember this piece of dirt? "Joel Steinberg (born May 25, 1941), a former New York criminal defense attorney, attracted international media attention when he was accused of murder and convicted of manslaughter in the November 1, 1987, death of a six-year-old girl, Elizabeth ("Lisa"), whom he and his live-in partner Hedda Nussbaum had "adopted".

how would U respond to this article
i need help!! so how would u repsond 2 this article? -Supreme Court takes a fresh look at handgun laws- WASHINGTON – The Supreme Court could ignite a vigorous new fight over state and local gun controls across the nation when it rules on a challenge to Chicago's handgun ban. The court said Wednesday it will consider a challenge to Chicago's ban, and even gun control supporters believe a victory is likely for gun-rights proponents. If the court rules that the Second Amendment right to keep and bear arms doesn't allow the city's outright handgun ban, it could lead to legal challenges to less-restrictive laws that limit who may own guns, whether firearms must be registered and even how they must be stored. The court last year moved in the direction of voiding tough gun control laws when it struck down a prohibition on handguns in the District of Columbia, a city with unique federal status. Now the court will decide whether that ruling should apply to local and state laws as well. The court will hear arguments in the case early next year, and a ruling probably would follow in the spring. The court has said previously that most, but not all, rights laid out in the Constitution's Bill of Rights serve as checks on state as well as federal restrictions. Separately, 44 state constitutions already enshrine gun rights. Though faced with potential limits from the high court on their ability to enact laws and regulations in this area, 34 states weighed in on the gun-rights side before the justices agreed to take the case Wednesday, an indication of the enduring strength of the National Rifle Association and its allies. The gun case was among several the court added to its docket for the term that begins Monday. Others include: • A challenge to part of a law that makes it a crime to provide financial and other aid to any group designated a terrorist organization. • A dispute over when new, harsher penalties can be given to sex offenders who don't register with state sex offender databases. • Whether to throw out a human rights lawsuit against a former prime minister of Somalia who is accused of overseeing killings and other atrocities. The issue is whether a federal law gives the former official, Mohamed Ali Samantar, immunity from lawsuits in U.S. courts. In the gun case, outright handgun bans appear to be limited to Chicago and suburban Oak Park, Ill. But a ruling against those ordinances probably would "open up all the gun regulations in the country to constitutional scrutiny, of which there are quite a few," said Mark Tushnet, a Harvard Law School professor whose recent book "Out of Range" explores the often bitter national debate over guns. Already, Alan Gura, who led the legal challenge to the Washington law and represents the plaintiff in Chicago, is suing to overturn the District of Columbia's prohibition on carrying firearms outside a person's home. Illinois and Wisconsin have similar restrictions. In voiding Washington's handgun ban last year, Justice Antonin Scalia suggested that gun rights, like the right to speech, are limited and that many gun control measures could remain in place. Ultimately, said Tushnet, the court will have to decide, possibly restriction by restriction, which limits are reasonable. "It's very hard to know where this court would draw the line between reasonable and unreasonable," he said. in a paraghraph respond to the article!!!!

What's wrong with this picture?
What's wrong with this picture?
There's something the U.S. government doesn't want you to know. And it's come out again in the new Heritage Foundation report on education. It conveys that the general public is increasingly dissatisfied with public schools, with a rising number opting for private education. The report explains that during the 2007 and 2008 legislative sessions, 44 states introduced school-choice legislation. And in 2008, choices for private school were enacted into law or expanded in Arizona, Utah, Georgia, Florida, Louisiana and Pennsylvania. Today 14 states and the District of Columbia offer voucher or education tax-credit programs that aid parents with sending their children to private schools. But that may be short-lived. Despite the growing public preference for private education, Congress recently canceled the D.C. Opportunity Scholarship Program, which was created in 2004 to offer students from low-income families in the nation's capital an opportunity to join the voucher educational community. The law provided $14 million in scholarships to help pay for tuition at private schools of their choosing. But no longer. Why did Congress nix the program, especially when recent studies showed that students receiving vouchers since the program's inception were academically 18.9 months ahead of their peers? (I read the other day that 100 percent of Thurgood Marshall Academy's charter graduates are accepted to colleges.) And why would Congress phase out a program that costs $7,500 per student annually, compared with the $15,000 it costs in Washington's public schools to educate a child? So its cancellation is not a result of costing too much, because it's half the price of public schooling. And it's not because of inferior quality, because the kids enrolled in the program were scoring higher than students in regular schools. There's only one reason Congress canceled it, and it comes down to this: federal control and educational indoctrination. http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=31638

I have to say, that is very interesting. I really don't know enough about it all to weigh in. However, I am a first-year, non-education degree high school teacher. And I'm sure it's no surprise when I say that I found a new job in October. But I am a loyal employee of the school and am finishing out the school year. The state controls so much of what I have to teach. In Georgia, we have education "standards." Each standard has "elements." I teach biology, and one of our standards is "Students will derive the relationship between single-celled and multi-celled organisms and the increasing complexity of systems." This is pretty typical stuff, any biology teacher will teach it. But in my school, we are required to post the standard with the element of our lesson everyday, point it out to the kids and go over it, as well has have the "essential question." I realize that monitoring education is important because the government wants to ensure that every child has an opportunity to learn and make sure they learn the same things. Maybe it's because I did not go to college to become a teacher (another reason I got a different job), but it is borderline ridiculous what I have to do just to prove I'm teaching. Not only that, but biology has an End of Course Test that isn't even given at the end of the course. I have to give mine next week. Graduation is on the 23rd of May. I am given the breakdown of the test and told to devote the appropriate amount of time to each topic. I loved teaching when I was in college (I was an undergraduate teaching assistant in cellular biology for three years), but I feel like I can't even enjoy teaching. If you are a teacher, you may agree with me. But if not, you wouldn't understand I don't think. Sorry, I didn't even stay on topic, I just jumped up on my soapbox. :) Let me get to work since I have one week to cram two college semesters worth of biology into these 15-year-old brains.

Because vouchers are not the answer to problems in the public school system. Freakeconomics documents that children of parents who apply for transfers to "better schools" do better without regard to being given the transfer. That means that the root solution to a proper education is a motivated parent. The schools can only do so much. The bulk of education takes place in the home (my kids went to preschool and could read before entering Kindergarten). Continually looking for solutions at the school level will fail. The answer is working with parents to motivate students. The public schools are more than capable of educating willing students - but they can educate kids from families who don't give a flying rat. Indoctrination a red herring and the product of right wing delusions.

This has to do with the quality and content of the education of the children. If they are not receiving a proper education in the private schools, something is missing from the curriculum, then this practice must be stopped for the sake of the children. Do I sound like "O" and the government( Gestapo) with this answer? The thing missing is the socialist agenda of the Nanny State. As the government sees it, private allows the student to learn to think for themselves if this agenda is being taught in that school. If the child reaches adulthood with the ability to think instead of follow blindly, they can not be lead in the direction the government needs. This is the ideology of Marx and Lenin! Can you say, Comrade?

Public schools provide liberal indoctrination. Private schools, other than Christian schools, do not provide indoctrination. So with Christian schools offering spiritual indoctrination that is usually right leaning and other private systems offering up no indoctrination they become a threat to liberal ideology. I would love to see them enact the fairness doctrine in the public schools.
14 :
Here's the result of unions who make it very difficult to compete with non-union or sensible union entities; Chrysler, GM, and public schools. Democrats point repeatedly to the NRA as being the strongest lobby in DC, yet completely ignore the powerful teacher's union which is literally destroying our public schools. Indoctrination is critical to democrats, but unions get them re-elected until the indoctrination kicks in later.
15 :
This is nothing new in a socialistic culture. First they socialize wealth then they manipulate the public schools and after that they outlaw the private schools. How else are they going to complete the process of re-indoctrination and how else are they going to brainwash people to ensure that the road to communism is not compromised?? This is nothing new in history. This is what people of other cultures have fought to get out of. I am pretty surprised that USA is getting into what others have thrown in the garbage, what has become of our country? The teacher's union is the very apparatus that accomplishes just that. It's a process of dumbing down the people on purpose. If we don't fight this now, it'd going to bite us in the back. I think, in all fairness, we let liberals get away with too much, now we;re going to be treated by them unfairly, under the very label of Fairness Doctrine. I don't see why they call it that way. It's the fairness compromise rather than doctrine. After that they're going to socialize the higher education units. Colleges aren't going to be available but for a very restricted group of people. Heck if the government is paying for it, then they decide how many students can have a major in health care, and so on... It's sad, but for me it's deja-vu. I ran away from such a cursed country and now it caught up with me, in the US, of all places. Go figure! If we don't nab it now, it's going to cost us very much!

Yes since the dumbing of America, a lot of people in the county I live in are home schooling their children! I sent my children to an amish school for many years, best thing I ever did, they are all upstanding citizens with great jobs, and support themselves, no hand outs!! I had to give up a lot to send them thru private school, but worth every penny, and a good christian up bringing and church, The Amish are the most kind and wonderful people. God bless them all!! We are not Amish, but they welcomed my children like they were their own, and we all still have contact with them today! its just so nice!! I doubt their is a person in DC who really gives a rats a-- about the education of the children of this country, many teachers are the same way, they are in it for the big money!!

This is a subject that's been near & dear to my heart for years. I'd always taken great pains to teach my kids as much as possible, making sure they had all that was necessary to learn as much as they could. I surrounded them with books, took them to the library, and helped them with their reports. I was appalled at what the school tried to pass as education. If I didn't have to work, I would have home-schooled my kids. Our public school system is a wreck, and needs a major overhaul if we're expecting our kids to be able to hold a candle to kids in other countries. If we can't compete with other countries, how will our kids be able to make a difference? As it is, many kids barely get by, and end up either sponging off of their parents & friends when they get out of school, or they end up in dead-end jobs, leaving the kids in other countries space to get the jobs that help their countries. We're getting less scientists out of this country than ever before. And even though we expect our school system to give our kids everything they'll need to go on in college, many kids have to take "refresher" courses in college before they can even start.There's too much junk that our schools are teaching our kids. Stuff they'll never use when (and if) they get out. Yes, I've said it for years that our public schools have allowed their teachers to teach sub-standard stuff to our kids. The makers of our textbooks have "sanitized" them, making them more politically correct, and removing many of the things us old codgers had learned "back in the day". Before posting my answer, I did some research on the web of what tests were like back in the late 1800's for public school kids. I'm posting the link in the source box, for those of you brave enough to check it out. The test is the final exam given to 8th graders in Salinas, Kansas. Towards the end of the article, there was a comment about kids in other countries, and the math tests that they now take. I looked at the link posted there, and the test was amazing! It's a matter of record that our country ranks fairly low in math & science scores, compared to countries like Japan and Sweden. They know that it's important for their kids to eccel as much as possible if they're going to continue to compete in the worlds' markets. I'm all for the school voucher system. Maybe if enough kids disappear from the public schools, our government will finally realize that their form of miseducation just isn't acceptable anymore, and maybe will overhaul the whole system. Then again, maybe pigs will fly. <*)))><

The D.C. program gave low income kids a shot of excelling in school.The public schools there are full of crime,drugs and fear.Obama sends his kids to the prestious Friends Private school and yet some of the classmates receiving the voucher's can't go there any longer.I saw a interview of a mother and her kids who were in that program. You could clearly see mom was trying hard to improve her children's education. She was a single working mom and afraid for her kids even to walk to that school as she was at work and could not be there to see them safely to and from.Lets face it the Congress wants votes and have a plan for the future. Their future not the kids.Then again Congress does not have much common sense these days. Proof that they can't read(Stimulus Bill)or count($7,500 vs. $18,000) A bunch of phonies that want to throw billions into the educational system building new schools,without educating students.Wonder that Unions will make a bundle then contribute to their re-elections.Public schools follow the agenda of the current goverment a great place to indoctrinate future voters
There's something the U.S. government doesn't want you to know. And it's come out again in the new Heritage Foundation report on education. It conveys that the general public is increasingly dissatisfied with public schools, with a rising number opting for private education. The report explains that during the 2007 and 2008 legislative sessions, 44 states introduced school-choice legislation. And in 2008, choices for private school were enacted into law or expanded in Arizona, Utah, Georgia, Florida, Louisiana and Pennsylvania. Today 14 states and the District of Columbia offer voucher or education tax-credit programs that aid parents with sending their children to private schools. But that may be short-lived. Despite the growing public preference for private education, Congress recently canceled the D.C. Opportunity Scholarship Program, which was created in 2004 to offer students from low-income families in the nation's capital an opportunity to join the voucher educational community. The law provided $14 million in scholarships to help pay for tuition at private schools of their choosing. But no longer. Why did Congress nix the program, especially when recent studies showed that students receiving vouchers since the program's inception were academically 18.9 months ahead of their peers? (I read the other day that 100 percent of Thurgood Marshall Academy's charter graduates are accepted to colleges.) And why would Congress phase out a program that costs $7,500 per student annually, compared with the $15,000 it costs in Washington's public schools to educate a child? So its cancellation is not a result of costing too much, because it's half the price of public schooling.

There's only one reason Congress canceled it, and it comes down to this: federal control and educational indoctrination. http://www.humanevents.com/article.php?id=31638

Why don't more people question Obama?
Why don't more people question Obama?
I started looking into Obama's life. Around 1979 Obama started college at Occidental in California. He is very open about his two years at Occidental; he tried all kinds of drugs and was wasting his time but, even though he had a brilliant mind, did not apply himself to his studies. 'Barry' (that was the name he used all his life) during this time had two roommates, Muhammad Hasan Chandoo and Wahid Hamid, both from Pakistan. During the summer of 1981, after his second year in college, he made a 'round the world' trip. Stopping to see his mother in Indonesia, next Hyderabad in India, three weeks in Karachi, Pakistan where he stayed with his roommate's family, then off to Africa to visit his father's family. My question - Where did he get the money for this trip? Nether I, nor any one of my children would have had money for a trip like this when they where in college. When he came back he started school at Columbia University in New York. It is at this time he wants everyone to call him Barack - not Barry. Do you know what the tuition is at Columbia? It's not cheap! to say the least. Where did he get money for tuition? Student Loans? Maybe. After Columbia, he went to Chicago to work as a Community Organizer for $12,000. a year. Why Chicago? Why not New York? He was already living in New York. By 'chance' he met Antoin 'Tony' Rezko, born in Aleppo Syria, and a real estate developer in Chicago. Rezko has been convicted of fraud and bribery this year. Rezko, was named 'Entrepreneur of the Decade' by the Arab-American Business and Professional Association'. About two years later, Obama entered Harvard Law School. Do you have any idea what tuition is for Harvard Law School? Where did he get the money for Law School? More student loans? After Law school, he went back to Chicago. Rezko offered him a job, which he turned down. But, he did take a job with Davis, Miner, Barnhill & Galland. Guess what? They represented 'Rezar' which is Rezko's firm. Rezko was one of Obama's first major financial contributors when he ran for office in Chicago. In 2003, Rezko threw an early fundraiser for Obama which Chicago Tribune reporter David Mendelland claims was instrumental in providing Obama with 'seed money' for his U.S. Senate race. In 2005, Obama purchased a new home in Kenwood District of Chicago for $1.65 million (less than asking price). With ALL those Student Loans - Where did he get the money for the property? On the same day Rezko's wife, Rita, purchased the adjoining empty lot for full price. The London Times reported that Nadhmi Auchi, an Iraqi-born Billionaire loaned Rezko $3.5 million three weeks before Obama's new home was purchased. Obama met Nadhmi Auchi many times with Rezko. Now, we have Obama running for President. Valerie Jarrett, was Michele Obama's boss. She is now Obama's chief advisor and he does not make any major decisions without talking to her first. Where was Jarrett born? Ready for this? Shiraz, Iran. Do we see a pattern here? Or, am I going crazy? On May 10, 2008 The Times reported, Robert Malley advisor to Obama was 'sacked' after the press found out he was having regular contacts with 'Hamas ', which controls Gaza and is connected with Iran. This past week, buried in the back part of the papers, Iraqi newspapers reported that during Obama's visit to Iraq, he asked their leaders to do nothing about the war until after he is elected, and he will 'Take care of things'. Oh, and by the way, remember the college roommates that where born in Pakistan? They are in charge of all those 'small' Internet campaign contributions for Obama. Where is that money coming from? The poor and middle class in this country? Or could it be from the Middle East? And the final bit of news. On September 7, 2008, The Washington Times posted a verbal slip that was made on 'This Week' with George Stephanapoulos. Obama on talking about his religion said, 'My Muslim faith'. When questioned, 'he made a mistake'. Some mistake! All of the above information I got on line. If you would like to check it - Wikipedia, encyclopedia, Barack Obama; Tony Rezko; Valerie Jarrett: Daily Times - Obama visited Pakistan in 1981; The Washington Times - September 7, 2008; The Times May 10, 2008. Now the BIG question - If I found out all this information on my own, why haven't all of our 'intelligent' members of the press been reporting this? A phrase that keeps ringing in my ear - 'Beware of the enemy from within.'

People who follow along blindly without question are sure to make false assumptions. Tired of 8 years of Bush, they get a warm and fuzzy feeling inside, a comfort, almost a drug-like euphoria - at the thought of such a "cool" president.

First of all, you seem very Islamaphobic. Why? If a Christian had bombed the WTC, would you be afraid of christians? My point being, there are some bad Muslims, but not all Muslims are bad.

You see, when you look at this question which I'm sure you worked hard on, you see "Obvious clues that Obama is a bad person." When I look at it, I see racist crap.
23 :
This may sound crazy, but in a way it would be good for Obama to win! Here is why: Patience is important! Look at the approval rating of congress right now! It is extremely low! Right? ok. Now: I am so convinced that Obama is so underqulified for the job as president that this will happen: The democratic party will self destroy!

So without bothering to look any further than face value, they will choose him. So what if he runs this country into a depression. I for one know you cannot pay off the debt by raising taxes and spending more money as Obama would do. Don't you just love his idea of sending money for tax returns on people who don't pay taxes?

I completely agree with you. People need to know this! I feel this is much more important that Palin spending $100,000(+) on clothes. How much money does Michelle Obama spend? Would she shop at the goodwill? This race is so one -sided it makes me sick. Then there are dems out there that think the media is fair. Please. If Obama gets in...I will rub it in their faces like we did when Clinton won! Get those bumper stickers out that read "I didn't vote for him". What will Michelle Obama say about that then...since her comment "For the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country." When the Country falls under attack due to her husband will you still be proud of YOUR country. Notice how it is "her" country and not "our" country.

I gave up on this question awhile ago. Obama has several different levels of support and you cannot seem to reason with any of them. I don't really care who anyone votes for as that is an individual choice, but I would like to see people honestly examine the candidates. I do know several people who originally stated they were going to vote for Obama, but later changed their minds after a careful look at his record, platform and past associations. The reason they give me is because once he was exposed to scrutiny, they felt he was not what he represents himself to be. I think the biggest problem though is that the Republican candidate is no shining example either. People really do want change in our country, but they aren't going to get it from the current crop.
32 :
Because the media is in control of who gets heard. For the typical American who is opposed to Obama to be heard, they have to do something crazy, like shoot somebody, or they get no media attention. The Liberally biased media makes sure of it.

Because they are idiots.

That's because liberals are brain washed by the whole media, especially MSNBC and Keith Oberman, cover up. And they have NOOOOOOOOOOO idea there are issues with Obama. If Obama's elected result by that, and in third year, They will say to themselves. yuk what happened to me, why I have not looked into it before, now its too late and its Obama's fault for screw up the country
I started looking into Obama's life. Around 1979 Obama started college at Occidental in California. He is very open about his two years at Occidental; he tried all kinds of drugs and was wasting his time but, even though he had a brilliant mind, did not apply himself to his studies. 'Barry' (that was the name he used all his life) during this time had two roommates, Muhammad Hasan Chandoo and Wahid Hamid, both from Pakistan. During the summer of 1981, after his second year in college, he made a 'round the world' trip. Stopping to see his mother in Indonesia, next Hyderabad in India, three weeks in Karachi, Pakistan where he stayed with his roommate's family, then off to Africa to visit his father's family. My question - Where did he get the money for this trip? Nether I, nor any one of my children would have had money for a trip like this when they where in college. When he came back he started school at Columbia University in New York. It is at this time he wants everyone to call him Barack - not Barry. Do you know what the tuition is at Columbia? It's not cheap! to say the least. Where did he get money for tuition? Student Loans? Maybe. After Columbia, he went to Chicago to work as a Community Organizer for $12,000. a year. Why Chicago? Why not New York? He was already living in New York. By 'chance' he met Antoin 'Tony' Rezko, born in Aleppo Syria, and a real estate developer in Chicago. Rezko has been convicted of fraud and bribery this year. Rezko, was named 'Entrepreneur of the Decade' by the Arab-American Business and Professional Association'. About two years later, Obama entered Harvard Law School. Do you have any idea what tuition is for Harvard Law School? Where did he get the money for Law School? More student loans? After Law school, he went back to Chicago. Rezko offered him a job, which he turned down. But, he did take a job with Davis, Miner, Barnhill & Galland. Guess what? They represented 'Rezar' which is Rezko's firm. Rezko was one of Obama's first major financial contributors when he ran for office in Chicago. In 2003, Rezko threw an early fundraiser for Obama which Chicago Tribune reporter David Mendelland claims was instrumental in providing Obama with 'seed money' for his U.S. Senate race. In 2005, Obama purchased a new home in Kenwood District of Chicago for $1.65 million (less than asking price). With ALL those Student Loans - Where did he get the money for the property? On the same day Rezko's wife, Rita, purchased the adjoining empty lot for full price. The London Times reported that Nadhmi Auchi, an Iraqi-born Billionaire loaned Rezko $3.5 million three weeks before Obama's new home was purchased. Obama met Nadhmi Auchi many times with Rezko. Now, we have Obama running for President. Valerie Jarrett, was Michele Obama's boss. She is now Obama's chief advisor and he does not make any major decisions without talking to her first. Where was Jarrett born? Ready for this? Shiraz, Iran. Do we see a pattern here? Or, am I going crazy? On May 10, 2008 The Times reported, Robert Malley advisor to Obama was 'sacked' after the press found out he was having regular contacts with 'Hamas ', which controls Gaza and is connected with Iran. This past week, buried in the back part of the papers, Iraqi newspapers reported that during Obama's visit to Iraq, he asked their leaders to do nothing about the war until after he is elected, and he will 'Take care of things'. Oh, and by the way, remember the college roommates that where born in Pakistan? They are in charge of all those 'small' Internet campaign contributions for Obama. Where is that money coming from? The poor and middle class in this country? Or could it be from the Middle East? And the final bit of news. On September 7, 2008, The Washington Times posted a verbal slip that was made on 'This Week' with George Stephanapoulos. Obama on talking about his religion said, 'My Muslim faith'. When questioned, 'he made a mistake'. Some mistake! All of the above information I got on line. If you would like to check it - Wikipedia, encyclopedia, Barack Obama; Tony Rezko; Valerie Jarrett: Daily Times - Obama visited Pakistan in 1981; The Washington Times - September 7, 2008; The Times May 10, 2008. Now the BIG question - If I found out all this information on my own, why haven't all of our 'intelligent' members of the press been reporting this? A phrase that keeps ringing in my ear - 'Beware of the enemy from within.'

McCain has lots of stuff too, but unlike Obama, pretty much everyone know's his history. The reason is this: the media loves Obama. Since the media loves him, they dare publish anything that would make it look like his history wasn't clean. And unfortunately, many people take candidates at their "face value", meaning they don't bother digging deeper. They just pick people who appeal to them.

But they get a freakin paycheck to babysit these kids. It all has to do with the parents and the school working together but boy do they have a failure to communicate. That is why many kids go to private school or are home schooled. You actually have a chance to learn or you get thrown out. Money will not bring us up the education scale. Strict rules and no coddling is what they need. Alternative schools to get the bad apples out. Teachers need to teach the basics and keep their opinions to themselves.

can anyone explain any of this to me regarding Obama?
Obama has spent over $1 million dollars defending all the lawsuits that have been filed since my lawsuit of August 21, 2008; Why spend that amount of money if you were really born in Hawaii and for up to Twenty-Five [$25.00] Dollars one can secure a duplicate copy of the “vault� birth certificate [“vault� = certificate that has hospital name, doctor’s name & signature, weight and length of baby, etc.]; All, yes ALL of Obama’s records are “SEALED� – why ?

Ogego in Washington, DC who confirmed that Obama’s birth place was a well known attraction and his paternal grandmother was still alive in Kenya; when asked by Fellhauer if they were going to put up a marker at Obama’s Kenyan birth place, Ambassador Ogego stated, “It would depend on the government. It’s already well known.� Several days after the November 4, 2008 election, Kenya declared a “National Holiday� –that did not occur because Obama as a grandson was elected; it was declared because Obama was born in Kenya; No evidence that Obama ever “legally� changed his name to Barack Hussein Obama from his “adopted� name of Barry Soetoro from Indonesia; On obamacrimes.com is a copy of his school record indicating his name as “Barry Soetoro;� his Nationality “Indonesia;� and his Religion as “Islam;� Obama traveled at age twenty [20] to Pakistan – what Passport did he travel with ?

Sure, but you don't really want an explanation. 1. Obama hasn't spent anywhere near $1 million defending lawsuits on this issue. The number comes from FEC filings from the campaign and the election. McCain spent $1.5 million. Obama more like $2 million. Anything after inauguration comes from the Justice Department, or is being done pro bono, or is preliminary motions that are quick and cheap. No case as progressed to the merits yet. 2. He HAS posted what you get when you send your $25 for a certified copy of your birth certificate. This is what you get from Hawaii, since 2001. It is sufficient for proving place and time of birth and birth name, it will get you a passport. My COLB from PA has even less info, and I got my passport with it with no problem. 3.

Obama has spent over $1 million dollars defending all the lawsuits that have been filed since my lawsuit of August 21, 2008; Why spend that amount of money if you were really born in Hawaii and for up to Twenty-Five [$25.00] Dollars one can secure a duplicate copy of the “vault� birth certificate [“vault� = certificate that has hospital name, doctor’s name & signature, weight and length of baby, etc.]; All, yes ALL of Obama’s records are “SEALED� – why ? Birth records; School records – “SEALED� because they will probably show that Obama applied for and recived “foreign aid� indicating he was from Kenya or Indonesia where he was “adopted�; Occidental College; Columbia University; Harvard Law School; State Senate Records from Illinois; Passport records; Hospital records from Kenya and two [2] hospitals in Hawaii; COLB [Certification of Live Birth] that was placed on Obama’s website had Father’s Race as “AFRICAN� – a term not used in 1961; On obamacrimes.com website: Tape of Sara Obama, Obama’s step-paternal grandmother who states in Swahilli that she was in hospital in Mombasa, Kenya when Obama was born with Obama’s half-brother and half-sister; Affidavits from two [2] ministers who taped Sara Obama; On November 6, 2008, a Detroit Talk Show “Mike in the Morning� Host Mike Clark, Trudi Daniels and Marc Fellhauer from WRIF Radio, Detroit, Michigan called and spoke with the Kenyan Ambassador to the United States, Peter N.R.O. Ogego in Washington, DC who confirmed that Obama’s birth place was a well known attraction and his paternal grandmother was still alive in Kenya; when asked by Fellhauer if they were going to put up a marker at Obama’s Kenyan birth place, Ambassador Ogego stated, “It would depend on the government. It’s already well known.� Several days after the November 4, 2008 election, Kenya declared a “National Holiday� –that did not occur because Obama as a grandson was elected; it was declared because Obama was born in Kenya; No evidence that Obama ever “legally� changed his name to Barack Hussein Obama from his “adopted� name of Barry Soetoro from Indonesia; On obamacrimes.com is a copy of his school record indicating his name as “Barry Soetoro;� his Nationality “Indonesia;� and his Religion as “Islam;� Obama traveled at age twenty [20] to Pakistan – what Passport did he travel with ?

Berg, Esquire, the first Attorney who filed suit against Barack H. Obama challenging Senator Obama's lack of Constitutional "qualifications/eligibility" to serve as President of the United States and his cases that are still pending in Federal Court, Berg vs. Obama [Third Circuit Court of Appeals No. 08 – 4340]; this case - Berg as Relator v.

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder, his Office, his Staff and the United States Department of Justice are required to uphold and ensure our laws; the laws of the United States are upheld and enforced. Article II, Section 3 of the U.S. Constitution states: “The Constitution entrusts the Executive with duty to take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed." Berg said, “Our Reply dealt head-on with the fact Attorney General Eric Holder’s staff has avoided the Conflict-of-Interest issue and our request for a Special Prosecutor if the Government will not allow me, Philip J. Berg, as the Relator to proceed to prosecute Obama. It is our position that the Government’s attempt to dismiss the qui tam case against Barry Soetoro a/k/a Barack H.

Sure, but you don't really want an explanation. 1. Obama hasn't spent anywhere near $1 million defending lawsuits on this issue. The number comes from FEC filings from the campaign and the election. McCain spent $1.5 million. Obama more like $2 million. Anything after inauguration comes from the Justice Department, or is being done pro bono, or is preliminary motions that are quick and cheap. No case as progressed to the merits yet. 2. He HAS posted what you get when you send your $25 for a certified copy of your birth certificate. This is what you get from Hawaii, since 2001. It is sufficient for proving place and time of birth and birth name, it will get you a passport. My COLB from PA has even less info, and I got my passport with it with no problem. 3. The records aren't sealed in any special way -- privacy laws are tough these days. 4. Father's race is self-identified on the worksheet. There is a spot for Other _________.
