Occasionally, ships need to be hauled into dry dock so the barnacles can be scraped off and a fresh coat of paint applied to the hull. Likewise, every few miles the Obama campaign bus needs to pull over so Axelrod can hose off the sludge from Barry’s past.

Here’s just a sample of what we’ve found:


#1 — Philip Berg

Philip Berg filed a temporary restraining order in federal court to bar Obama from running for president, claiming the Democratic candidate was actually born in Africa.

“We really don’t believe he was born in Hawaii,” Berg said. “We think he was born in Kenya.”

From The Times-Herald: The Annenberg Political Fact Check, a project of the Annenberg Public Policy Center of the University of Pennsylvania, aims to expose deception and confusion in U.S. politics. Recently, FactCheck.org staffers “touched, examined and photographed” the original birth certificate kept at the Obama campaign headquarters in Chicago and concluded the document is genuine.

Annenberg? Now where have I heard that name before….


#2 — Obama/Ayers/Annenberg

From National Review: When Obama made his first run for political office, articles in both the Chicago Defender and Hyde Park Herald featured among his qualifications his position as chairman of the board of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge — a foundation where Ayers was a founder and guiding force.

Obama assumed the Annenberg board chairmanship only months before his first run for office, almost certainly at the behest of Bill Ayers. With a writ to aid Chicago’s public schools, the Annenberg challenge played a deeply political role in Chicago’s education wars, and as board chairman, Obama clearly aligned himself with Ayers’s radical views on education issues.

With Obama heading up the board and Ayers heading up the other key operating body of the Annenberg Challenge, the two would have had a close working relationship for years, therefore “exchanging ideas on a regular basis”.

Associations with radicals seems to be the norm with Barack Obama. Here is another…


#3 — Frank Marshall Davis

Apparently, the Canadians, the National Enquirer, and a few bloggers are the only ones interested in truly vetting Barack Obama. Canada Free Press has a multitude of information about Obama’s “other mentor” being a member of the Communist Party.

Also, from Atlas Shrugs: Davis stated that “under certain circumstances I am bisexual” (wait, what?) …”and a voyeur… and an exhibitionist” who was “occasionally mildly interested in sado-masochism”, adding: “I have often wished I had two penises to enjoy simultaneously the double – but different – sensations of oral and genital copulation.”

Davis describes having sex with a 13-year-old girl: “I’m not one to go in for Lolitas. Usually I’d rather not bed a babe under 20. But there are exceptions. I didn’t want to disappoint the trusting child. At her still-impressionistic age, a rejection might be traumatic, could even cripple her sexually for life.”

He then described how he and his wife would have sex with the girl. “Anne came up many times the next several weeks, her aunt thinking she was in good hands. Actually she was.”

“She obtained a course in practical sex from experienced and considerate practitioners rather than from ignorant insensitive neophytes….I think we did her a favour, although the pleasure was mutual.”

Sado-masochistic bisexual Communist pedophile. No scandal here, folks, just a typical mentor…


# 4 — The Murders of Donald Young, Larry Bland, and Nate Spencer

Three openly gay members of Obama’s church were shot execution-style in the back of the head within 40 days of each other late last year. Investigative reporters from The National Enquirer and The Globe have been the only ones (so far) to write anything concerning this scandal. Normally, these ragsheets are immediately dismissed as garbage, but considering that The National Enquirer was the first to expose the John Edwards affair, maybe they deserve a second look.

Also, it is interesting to note that Larry Sinclair, a man who says he smoked crack and had oral sex with Barack Obama, and had talked to Donald Young, was arrested in June by the Delaware District Attorney whose name happens to be…


#5 — The Biden Connection

…Beau Biden. Name ring a bell? Meet Joe’s son. Is this how you bargain your way into becoming the Vice President, Joe? Nice work, boys.


#6 — Uncle Raila

Barack Obama’s staunch support for Raila Odinga (now Prime Minister of Kenya) during his bid for the Kenyan presidency was casually reported by the mainstream media last year. When Odinga lost, he encouraged an uprising by his supporters that resulted in genocide.

The UK’s Telegraph reported: “Hundreds of women and children, including boys as young as five, have been gang-raped in a wave of sexual violence that has swept Kenya in the aftermath of last week’s disputed presidential election.”

Peter Kimani, Managing Editor of the Saturday Times in Kenya, wrote: “What is unfolding in Kenya may be anarchy but it has also been choreographed long before the first ballot was cast”.

Kimani describes Raila Odinga this way: “As the militant African-American activist Malcolm X would have put it, power by any means necessary is a mantra that perfectly fits Odinga, who was detained for six years for his role in the abortive 1982 coup in Kenya”.
