Does anyone know if this is all true? [View All]

As a new DUer, I look to older and more experienced DUers for guidance on these things. Apologies if these things have already been verified!

I've seen here recently that Obama, though nominally a Christian, has deep and very disturbing ties to the Muslim community, that he has no intention of getting us out of Iraq, and that he went on some sort of crime spree with this Rezko character.

Other things I've read state that he's sucking on the teat of Big Oil, that he agrees with his commie traitor America-hating pastor Wright that God should damn America, that his wife Michelle (a black woman - and after all we've done for them!) is ashamed of America, and that Obama dishonored Dr. King by not waving off the balcony where MLK was shot because he preferred to mark the 40th anniversary of the assassination hustling for votes. If true, these things are really awful. But there's more!

Apparently, he refused to spend Easter with his grandmother and left another elderly relative to wallow in squalor in a hut in Africa. What kind of a guy would do that?

I also read that he idolizes Reagan and Bush I, and he put on some weird Somali outfit for a photo-op. Somali? I mean, WTF? He also made that nice mestizo Governor Richardson break a promise he's made five times not to ever betray his loyalty to the Clintons, which Richardson promised he would never do even though he himself ran against Senator Clinton for the nomination. I'm still a bit confused about all that.

I also read somewhere here that Obama supported himself by dealing drugs. Drugs? Americans hate drugs! Where does this guy get off?

If this stuff is true, I believe John McCain is going to get up from his rocker and hit Obama really hard on issues like these. Like I heard President Clinton pointed out, a moderate like McCain will have a huge edge on someone like Obama. And Senator Clinton said the guy has one speech. One crummy speech, that's it!

And after all, the Republicans are energized this year! I've heard about record primary and caucus turn-outs, with all kinds of first-time voters coming out. I don't know all the details, but that doesn't sound promising to me, folks.

Sounds to me like we won't stand a chance in November if this guy manages to steal the nomination by personally disenfranchising the good Democrats of the great states of Florida and Michigan like I read here he's doing.

And I hate to say it, but this is the most unsettling thing. I understand Obama's of mixed race. I don't know if that true, and I know I personally would not be bothered in the least if he maybe had a touch of the tarbrush going back 12 generations or something, since some of my best friends have a touch of the tarbrush going back 12 generations. But let's get real here. Most Americans won't vote for an octaroon, or even a white guy with a tan. Look at what happened to Romney. Poor guy never had a chance, because the American electorate just doesn't like people of color. Well, except voters who are people of color. We all know they vote as a bloc, anyway.

Does anyone know if all this is true?

PS - I didn't ask about the bowling thing because I saw for myself that he's a crap bowler. But any help on all these other things I'm so terribly concerned about would be really appreciated, you guys. Thanks in advance!
