Look at the date of this editorial in Investor's Business Daily- March of LAST year. Once again, the MSM has been outed as an accomplice in the suppression of critical information about the clearly questionable associations of Obama, even before he moved ahead in the Democratic primary race. No wonder he and Chavez were so cozy this past week. Apparently their allegiance goes back farther than most of us were aware. I would really like to know what the heck is really going on.
Obama And FARC

Terrorism: The March 1 death strike by the Colombian army against FARC warlord Raul Reyes broke open a trove of contacts in his computer. So why did the name of Barack Obama turn up there?

Admittedly, it pales compared with other material from the dead thug's computer — such as FARC efforts to obtain uranium or Hugo Chavez's $300 million support.
But the little Obama reference within the 15 FARC letters released by the Colombian government signals a disturbing pattern of contacts with rogue actors. It's not the first time, and Obama has yet to distance himself.
In a Feb. 28 letter, FARC chieftain Raul Reyes cheerily reported to his inner circle that he met "two gringos" who assured him "the new president of their country will be Obama and that they are interested in your compatriots. Obama will not support 'Plan Colombia' nor will he sign the TLC (Free Trade Agreement)."
Aside from some interesting possibilities about who these "gringos" are — a congressional delegation did visit Ecuador and an international leftist "congress" was held in Quito around this time — the real question is why anyone secretly consorting with FARC would be able to speak for presidential candidate Obama.
Obama hasn't said a whole lot about Colombia other than to criticize President Bush's good relations with President Uribe. With this correspondence suggesting that FARC knows what he thinks, maybe the American voters have a right to know what he thinks, too. Five questions come to mind:
1. Is it true Obama would cut off Plan Colombia military aid to our ally, which would serve the terrorist group FARC's interests?
2. Does Obama still oppose a free trade agreement for Colombia, even though that puts him on the same side as FARC in the debate?
3. Does Obama know or care that one of his staffers or supporters is claiming to disclose his positions in secret meetings with FARC terrorists outside government channels?
4. Can he tell us why his supporters would pass on such information to terrorists, and what he or she could gain from it?
5. Will Obama, as president, treat FARC as the serious terrorists they are, given that they still hold three Americans hostage?
These aren't idle "gotcha" questions, by the way. Based on his campaign so far, Obama favors meeting and negotiating with rogue leaders without preconditions, passing secret messages to foreign countries at odds with his public positions and tolerating Che-flag wielding leftists among his supporters who advance a radical agenda in his name.
Now that FARC seems to have an inside line to Obama's campaign, maybe he ought to come tell voters what he really stands for.

Wow, that is chilling news, although no surprising.
I really wished people back before Obama was elected would have stopped and thought, "Wait! I really have no idea who this guy is!! I'm following him as if he was a Messiah, but he has no proved track record at all!!"
I'm afraid because of our gullibility, we've entered a very dangerous chapter in American, and world history for that matter, that I'm really not sure we'll make it out of in one piece.
You missed the later piece by IBD saying how they praised him for being for the Columbia Free Trade Agreement.
Steve, your comments are germane to the issue of the plight of the Republic. There are three major factors that put him in office in spite of his shady associations, his socialist background and his hidden agenda. First, the stupidity factor which indicates beyond a doubt that the majority of Americans are just plain stupid; Second, the "liar-liar" factor whereby the MSM abdicated in its responsibility to report the news and facts, and instead made a "candy coated" commercial of every report on the current resident of the White House. The third factor was the manner in which his campaign staff steamrolled anyone who considered asking questions. Critical thinking has become a very rare commodity in the United States.
The mainstream media wouldn’t do it. So we are trying to get your important messages to the American people. 17 This post is a suggested read at, http://aresay.blogspot.com/
Everyday, more and more stuff.....all scary. And yet, our biggest challenge remains, how can we get this information out there to all those unsuspecting, head-in-sand (or in the stars?) people?
