Anti-American comments of Obama benefactor could derail campaign
Advertisements [?]
Edited on Sat Mar-15-08 03:07 PM by usregimechange
At a south Chicago grocery store, a store clerk with ties to the Obama family has been implicated in activities that have the potential to derail the Obama campaign. In an interview from a 1995 Chicago Tribune story the clerk admitted to taking part in local acts of vandalism for what she called "American economic genocide" against inner city Americans.

The Obama family have been financially tied to this clerk and her establishment for years. Mrs. Obama has purchased fruits and vegetables from this store and Obama's cousin once even had a late hour conversation with the manager that hired the clerk about the Illinois lottery.

I support Obama but he needs to denounce the statements made by his home town grocery clerk and discontinue all ties with her, including any grocery shopping or conversations with the clerk's extended social network. He also needs to answer why his cousin continued his financial support of this clerk's store even after he knew she was a potential criminal! We can't talk about issues of lesser importance such as health care until we fully understand what Obama knew, and when he knew it.
