November 2008, Red Dawn, Washington, DC!

These are the people that influence the President every single day

The President is often being cited as a radical, surrounded by radicals. Standby One will show you the following players who influence Barack Obama now and in the past. Even the former players are never far away. Let's call it a symbiotic relationship.

Rev. Wright

Obama's lifelong spiritual adviser, the Reverend made primetime news during the election with his inflammatory statements regarding the evil whites, saying "God Damn America" said the U.S. brought on the 9/11 attacks, called the U.S. the United States of the KKK, said the government feeds drugs to blacks, and many many more hateful statements. The Rev. Louis Farrakhan, also an anti-Semite and black racist, was recently honored by Rev. Wright for “Lifetime Achievement”.

This multi-millionaire, the man who married Barack and Michelle, was an obvious hate monger. The President often stated that the Reverend was a major inspiration to him. It makes you wonder.

Acorn

This organization that was basically an extension of the Democratic Party, so fraught with corruption that it amazes people they were around as long as they were. Barack Obama was a big supporter.

Acorn's people were successful in getting votes where no votes could or should be found. Remember the dead voters they somehow got to the ballot box? The internal fraud? Now most people know about the videos that brought this rotten edifice down but that was just the tip of the iceberg. It's scary to think that although "Acorn" is no more it's simply been rebranded in most states under a new name. The President has now distanced himself from this group but hear him in his own words

Michelle Obama

Attending Rev. Wright's church for over 20 years seems to have taken it's toll on Michelle Obama. Her college thesis was on assimilation vs. “the black culture,” and she was openly dismayed that so many blacks were choosing to assimilate into the American melting-pot culture. The mainstream media did it's best to keep that as low key as possible during the election.

She also stated on the campaign trail that for the first time in her adult life she was proud of her country. 

Was America really that bad Michelle?

William Ayers

An unrepentant terrorist, he was quoted (coincidentally on September 11, 2001, in the New York Times) as being proud and unapologetic for the bombings of the Pentagon, the Capitol and the New York City Police where several police officers were murdered as a result. In fact, he stated that his only regret was that they hadn’t done more.

Bill Ayers wrote a book called "Fugitive Days". Good friend Barack Obama wrote a dust-jacket blurb for this book. Standby One Obama, you did what?

Mr. Ayers is married to Bernadine Dohrn (worked with Michelle Obama), the women J.Edgar Hoover called "the most dangerous woman in America".

With friends like Bill Ayers who needs enemies?

Tony Rezko

Yet another convicted felon with very close ties to Obama.

On July 31, 1995, the first ever political contributions to Obama were $300 from a lawyer, a $5,000 loan from a car dealer, and $2,000 from two food companies owned by Rezko. Starting in 2003, Rezko was one of the people on Obama's U.S. Senate campaign finance committee, which raised more than $14 million. Rezko threw an early fundraiser for Obama that Chicago Tribune reporter David Mendelland claims was instrumental in providing Obama with seed money for his U.S. Senate race. Obama in 2007-08 identified over $250,000 in campaign contributions to various Obama campaigns as coming from Rezko or close associates, and said that he donated almost two-thirds of that amount to nonprofit groups.

After it had been reported in 2006 that Rezko was under federal investigation for influence-peddling, Obama purchased a 10 foot (3.0 m) wide strip of Ms. Rezko's property for $104,500, $60,000 above the assessed value. According to Chicago Sun-Times columnist, Mark Brown, "Rezko definitely did Obama a favor by selling him the 10-foot strip of land, making his own parcel less attractive for development." Once this came to light Obama acknowledged that the exchange may have created the appearance of impropriety, and stated "I consider this a mistake on my part and I regret it."

With all the documents that have come out recently regarding this duo it's not surprising that Obama doesn't want to talk about Tony.

Frank Marshall Davis

Although he died in 1987, he is an Obama mentor mentioned in his book, a well-known Stalinist Communist whose devotion to the Soviet Union and hatred for an America which he described as racist and imperialistic put him under FBI surveillance for at least 19 years. It is quite possible that Davis did more to shape Obama’s world view than many in his entourage. Standby One asks what kind of person has a Stalinist Communist as a hero?

Ingrid Mattson

President of the troubling Islamic Society of North America, a group named as an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation terrorist trial, and a woman whom Obama invited to lead prayer at the Democrat Convention, which she did. In doing that, Obama and the Democrat leadership rather demonstratively bestowed their seal of approval on the largest and most important front organization of the American Muslim Brotherhood, a conspiratorial Islamist revolutionary movement dedicated, in their own words, to "a grand Jihad in eliminating and destroying the Western civilization from within and sabotaging its miserable house by their hands." The implications of this political legitimization of a group dedicated to the destruction of our constitutional order are so profoundly disturbing that some background who exactly ISNA and the Muslim Brotherhood (MB) are is in order.

Rashid Khalidi

An enthusiastic supporter of the Palestinians, fervent critic of Israel (which he calls a destructive “racist” state), an admirer of suicide bombers and a driving force behind the Arab American Action Network (AAAN). This so-called pro-Palestinian “community organization” in Chicago is another beneficiary of the Obama-Ayers team at the Woods Fund. It promotes an agenda that would horrify Obama’s Jewish supporters and any normal person. In fact, both Sen. Obama and Mr. Ayers actually spoke at a testimonial dinner for Rashid Khalidi.

According to Jack Kelly in the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette, “ ‘Khalidi and Obama lived in nearby faculty residential zones and the two families dined together a number of times,’ a source on the University of Chicago faculty told WorldNet Daily. ‘The Obamas even babysat the Khalidi children.’ ”

How can Barack be friends with a man who hates the Jewish people?

Anita Dunn

A political strategist who served as White House Communications Director from April through November 2009. She initiated a war with Fox News primarily because they didn't have the liberal bias they so enjoy from the other mainstream networks. Anita claimed to be a fan of Chairman Mao. Standby One Anita! Didn't Mao kill tens of millions of his own people?

She was forced out primarily because of Glenn Beck's reporting.

Van Jones

Race-baiting, America-hating, cop killer-loving, self-described communist revolutionary Van Jones is trying to make a comeback.

Jones has taken a position at the Center for American Progress, plans to teach at Princeton, and is going to receive an award from the far-left NAACP, which has flirted with many other communists in the past. NAACP president Benjamin Jealous describes the dangerous Jones as “an American treasure” for embracing the fanciful notion of heavily government-subsidized “green jobs.”

Jones came under additional criticism for signing a 2004 petition from 911Truth.org that suggested the Bush Administration "may indeed have deliberately allowed 9/11 to happen".

“Everybody’s favorite self-described communist revolutionary is now on his comeback tour,”

Jeff Jones

Founder of the radical group Weather Underground (with buddy Bill Ayers) and a member of the Apollo Alliance.

Jeff Jones had felt as early as 1975 that the underground had run its course and that it was time to consider surfacing, but supported those who chose to remain there. He essentially believed that the time for armed acts was over. However, Jones would not surface until late Oct. 1981 when he was unexpectedly caught up in a police sweep of individuals suspected of participating in the deadly robbery of an armored truck. A SWAT team arrested Jones and Eleanor Raskin, and allowed a friend to take custody of their four-year-old son. In Dec. 1981, a week before the couples’ sentencing, they were married legally. At sentencing Jones received probation and community service, while the charges against his wife were dismissed.

In the years after he gained his full freedom, Jones has worked as a reporter and editor covering New York State politics and policy. He was a communications director for ten years at Environmental Advocates of New York. He now heads up his own consulting firm called Jeff Jones Strategies that specializes in media expertise, writing and campaign strategies that help grassroots and progressive groups to achieve their goals. Jones is also working on the board of the financial arm of Movement for a Democratic Society (MDS), a group that works closely with the new SDS. He lives in Albany, New York with his wife and has two sons.

He's now an advisor for labour groups and Governor Patterson.

Andy Stern

Who visits the White House more than any other person? Why it's Andy Stern of the powerful SEIU of course. The SEIU is now he fastest growing union in America. Mr. Stern at last count has visited the White House 22 times (Hillary Clinton is at 4). This guy is scary and he has the President's attention. Where do you think the stimulus money is going? Haven't you noticed that most of the money is going to Union jobs? Think about it.

Through Stern's leadership, the SEIU has funneled vast amounts of financing to the Democratic Party and its candidates, far outnumbering the contributions of other unions during the last two election cycles. SEIU contributed $65 million to the 2004 campaign by Sen.John Kerry to oust former President George W. Bush. The union spent another $85 million on Democratic candidates in 2008; $60 million going toward the election of President Barack Obama, with a significant chunk of that money funding door-to-door canvassing and other GOTV efforts, as well as voter registration.

Stern is an ardent supporter of the $787 billion stimulus bill, known as the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009.

Jim Wallis

Obama’s New Spiritual Advisor On Wealth Redistribution.

Activist preacher and editor of the leftwing Christian magazine Sojourners

Democratic Party operative

Apologist for communist atrocities in Cambodia and Vietnam. A dedicated foe of capitalism.

Contends that Biblical scripture calls for large central government to aid the poor Just where in the Bible does it say take from the people, give to the government the the government will redistribute to the people?

Jim Wallis is a liberal political hack masquerading as a pastor, even though the media presents him as a poor little innocent kitten being attacked by savage wolf Glenn Beck. What's the real story? Stu sets the record straight in this thrashing of Obama's spiritual advisor/delusional radical Jim Wallis in this editorial for the Washington Post.

Ron Bloom

Manufacturing Czar & anti-free market

John Holdren

pro-redistribution of wealth

Mark Lloyd

FCC 'Diversity Czar'

Carol Browner

Another socialist. She was a member of "Socialist International".

Robert Creamer

Convicted for stealing 2.3 million dollars, socialist. Does he think it's still stealing if he steals the money from banks?

Franklin Raines/Jim Johnson

Former heads of Fannie Mae, both men were removed for impropriety. Both made tens of millions of dollars from their time at the helm, helping to pilot the economy onto the rocks. Are there two people more responsible for the current economic mess? Besides Barney Frank and Chris Dodd, they may have had more to do with creating the problem than anyone else… and they’re in Obama’s inner circle giving economic advice; Jim Johnson was actually chosen to vet Obama’s VP Pick.

Fannie/Freddy

Obama was the number two campaign contribution recipient from Freddie and Fannie execs, behind Banking Committee Chairman Chris Dodd. And bear in mind, those are numbers compiled over nine years. Obama has been a senator only for four of those years and raked in almost as much dough as Dodd did in all nine years.

Bernadine Dohrn

In the 80’s worked at the same time with Michelle Obama for the Chicago law firm Sidley Austin, was also a fan of Charles Manson:

At a 1969 “War Council” in Flint, Michigan, Dohrn gave her most memorable and notorious speech to her followers. Holding her fingers in what became the Weatherman “fork salute,” she said of the bloody murders recently committed by the Manson Family in which the pregnant actress Sharon Tate and a Folgers Coffee heiress and several other inhabitants of a Benedict Canyon mansion were brutally stabbed to death: “Dig it! First they killed those pigs, then they ate dinner in the same room with them. They even shoved a fork into the victim’s stomach! Wild!” The “War Council” ended with a formal declaration of war against “AmeriKKKa,” always spelled with three K’s to signify the United States’ allegedly ineradicable white racism.

Khalid al-Mansour

the anti-Semite Black Nationalist racist who changed his name from Don Marshall and converted to Islam, was a patron of Obama’s and helped advance Obama’s candidacy to law school. He was instrumental in starting the violent Black Panthers group, reportedly became Kind Saud’s attorney and represents OPEC. No wonder Obama doesn’t want to drill anywhere, although he changed that tune in last Tuesday’s debate in an apparent attempt to drill for votes.

As an article in FrontPageMag.com reported, “And why is it that black racists such as al-Mansour constitute a significant proportion of these hate mongers? In large part, it is because blacks have been specifically and aggressively targeted for recruitment by leaders of the worldwide jihad, just as they were targeted for recruitment by the Communist Party USA in the 1920s. Black grievance, combined with the evangelism of the Nation of Islam over the last seventy years, has established an audience for the ideology of hate.”

It is notable that Khalid al-Mansour is an advisor and friend to Prince al-Walid bin Talal, the Saudi sheik to whom Mayor Rudy Giuliani returned a $10 million check right after 9/11 because bin Talal stated that America brought the bloodthirsty attack on itself due to our foreign policy.
