By Margaret Ann Williams, published 3/4/2009

Barack Obama: graceful, thin, refined, polite, mixed-race, intelligent, thoughtful, lovely family, did I say thin? What party-pooper could complain?

Arjay, I have no need to follow any conspiracy theory trails,
for the Fed comes under the rules of Congress. If these hundreds
of members and their hundreds of millions of electors are all being
duped as you claim, I am sure that they will wake up one day or
that far more likely, you, like many other conspiracy theorists,
have your wires crossed.

answers many questions, for many don't understand the system.

The Fed operates not so differently to our RBA, the point being
that one wants a Central Bank which is at arms length from politicians.
In the US they have simply contracted out the job
to private enterprise, as their distrust of Govt is larger then
ours. If that is a good thing or a bad thing, is debatable.

The worst accusation against the Fed that I have read is that
they pay interest of 6% to member banks who deposit money there.
Well duh, if our banks deposit money with the RBA, they too are
paid interest, only IIRC it varies, unlike the US fixed rate.

Annual profits from the Fed are paid back to the treasury, annual
profits from the RBA are paid back to the treasury.

Should the Fed or RBA paying interest be seen as a scandal?
Absolutaly not, for it is a bankers bank after all.

So what is your problem?

What can we say about Obama?
He probably didn’t write his “autobiography” Dreams From My Father.
It was likely written by his friend, former Weatherman terrorist Bill Ayers, although Obama denied their relationship when it was impacting on his presidential candidacy.
He attended Rev Jeremiah Wright’s church for 20 years but never heard any of the reverend’s racist anti-american rants. This relationship also ended when it began impacting on his presidential candidacy.
He did a deal with crime-boss Tony Rezko’s wife whereby she paid full price for a block of land and he paid a discounted price for the neighbouring piece of land with the mansion (now his home) on it. The owner wouldn’t split the two parcels and he couldn’t afford both bits of land, but he denies being involved in any way with Rezko or his wife. It was just a happy coincidence.
He possibly is constitutionally disbarred from the presidency based on his birth place but he refuses to reveal his original birth certificate to prove his eligibility.
He supports infanticide, voting against the Illinois Born Alive Infant Protection Act four times. This contrasts with the 130 times that he voted present because he couldn’t manage a yes or no vote.
His election to office was made possible largely by 96% of the black vote who voted for him on the basis of best person for the job and not because of race colour or creed (compared to 43% of the non-black vote). Imagine if 96% of whites had voted for McCain. Now that would have been racist.
He claims Islam has helped to form the USA and he wasn’t talking about the New York City skyline.
He has no relevant experience.
He is likely a pathological narcissist.
He wants to disarm America's nuclear weaponry as an example for other countries (think North Korea) to follow.
Apart from the above he’s the ideal candidate to steer the USA and the global economy.
There can be little doubt that "He's gonna change the world".
