Barack Obama: His Political Journey

It was a time of tragedy and despair. Our country attacked; September 11th.
In Chicago it was another type of mourning; for a career.
Barack Obama: Depressed b/c he thought his name would now limit his ability to win elections
After 9/11, Obama was in "denial, anger, bargaining, despair" about his unfulfilled political ambitions.
His early career meetings and "friendly relationship" with unrepentant terrorist Bill Ayers wouldn't pay off now.
Nor would his participation in a church he joined to fit into the Chicago community
Or, in 1996 when he used the rule book to win his first race for Illinois State Senate and challenged fellow democratic opponents' petitions to force them off the ballot
He thought he would have to settle for a shady housing deal with future convict Tony Rezko.
Then later, he turned to Hope
His Philosophy: Win at any cost.
A typical politician Barack Obama did everything he could to win elections.
The US Senate seat was his to lose after the outing of an affair of his most serious opponent.
He gave great speeches full of hope, bipartisanship and unity, to win.
But while in the Senate for two years he voted straight down the liberal party line.
Now he wants the presidency.
He pandered to the liberal line on Nuclear Energy, Gun Control, Free Trade, Iraq, and FISA, to beat his rival.
Now he believes he should shift to the center for the general election while reversing his positions and saying NO to public financing and NO to joint town halls
But what about what he really believes?
What about what's best for our country?
Barack Obama will always tell us what we want to hear.
Now he hopes his beautiful words will trick us into believing he is something he is not.
And through his words he will make our life better.
But a man who has put political ambition before country, just can't.
Words without action are only words.
