This garbage has been floating around since early in 2008. Here's one site
that tells a little about the possible place it came from. There are lots
of other articles that talk about this, including one that says a group in
CA put out a disclaimer.

I just googled Michael C. Master letter to Obama and came up with a lot of
stuff.

The whole thing is a propaganda piece and nonsense. I'm sure there are some
items that might contain a little truth, and I know there are others that
are definitely false and slanted.

You don't have to like Obama, and you don't have to vote for him, but don't
malign him this way.

I don't know who 'Michael Master' is or what he does; but he does write
cogently and well. A Google search turns up a Michael Master who is a
lawyer in Philadelphia (one of those 'Philadelphia lawyers' I guess) - but
I don't believe that he is the author of this open letter. There is a
'Michael C. Masters' who lives in McLean , VA - I presume, but do not know
for sure, that he is the author. However, he didn't show up in any Google
searches that I conducted, so I guess he isn't 'notorious' enough to be
found. I look at that as a good thing, however. On the surface, that
suggests he is just another citizen like the rest of us and has no
particular ax to grind.




Barack Hussein Obama,

The New York Times carried a story on Saturday, October 4, 2008 that
proved you had a significantly closer relationship with Bill Ayers than
what you previously admitted. While the issue of your relationship is of
concern, the greater concern is that you lied to America about it.



The Chicago Sun reported on May 8, 2008 that FBI records showed that you
had a significantly closer relationship with Tony Rezko than what you
previously admitted. In the interview, you said that you only saw Mr.
Rezko a couple of times a year. The FBI files showed that you saw him
weekly. While the issue of your relationship is of concern, the greater
concern is that you lied to America about it.



Your speech in Philadelphia on March 18, 2008 about 'race' contradicted
your statement to Anderson Cooper on March 14 when you said that you never
heard Reverend Wright make his negative statements about white America .
While your attendance at Trinity Church for 20 years is of concern, the
greater concern is that you lied to America on March 14.



In your 1st debate with John McCain, you said that you never said that you
would meet with the leaders of Cuba, Venezuela, Iran, and North Korea
without 'preparations' at lower levels ... Joe Biden repeated your words
in his debate with Sarah Palin .. while the video tape from your debate
last February clearly shows that you answered 'I would' to the question of
meeting with those lea ders within 12 months without 'any' preconditions.
While your judgement about meeting with enemies of the USA without
pre-conditions is of concern, the greater concern is that you lied to
America in the debate with McCain.



On July 14, 2008, you said that you always knew that the surge would work
while the video tapes of you from more than a year ago show that you
stated that the surge would not work. While your judgement about military
strategy as a potential commander in chief is of concern, the greater
concern is that you lied to America on July 14.



You now claim that your reason for voting against funding for the troops
was because the bill did not include a time line for withdrawal while the
video tapes of you from more than a year ago show that you voted against
additional funding because you wanted our troops to be removed immediatel
y ... not in 16 months after the 2008 election as you now claim. While
your judgement about removing our troops unilaterally in 2007 is of
concern, the greater concern is that you lied to America about your
previous position.



You claim to have a record of working with Republicans while the record
shows that the only bill that you sponsored with a Republican was with
Chuck Lugar ... and it failed. The record shows that you vote 97% in
concert with the Democrat party and that you have the most liberal voting
record in the Senate. You joined Republicans only 13% of the time in your
votes and those 13% were only after agreement from the Democrat party.
While it is of concern that you fail to include conservatives in your
actions and that you are such a liberal, the greater concern is that you
distorted the truth.



In the20primary debates of last February, 2008, you claimed to have talked
with a 'Captain' of a platoon in Afghanistan 'the other day' when in fact
you had a discussion in 2003 with a Lieutenant who had just been deployed
to Afghanistan .. You lied in that debate.



In your debates last spring, you claimed to have been a 'professor of
Constitutional law' when in fact you have never been a professor of
Constitutional law. In this last debate, you were careful to say that you
'taught a law class' and never mentioned being a 'professor of
Constitutional law.' You lied last spring.



You and Joe Biden both claimed that John McCain voted against additional
funding for our troops when the actual records show the opposite. You
distorted the truth.



You and Joe Biden claim that John McCain voted against funding for
alternate energy sources 20 times when the record shows that John McCain
specifically voted against funding for bio fuels, especially corn ... and
he was right .... corn is too expensive at producing ethanol, and using
corn to make ethanol increased the price of corn from $2 a bushel to $6 a
bushel for food. You distorted the truth.



You and Joe Biden claim that John McCain voted like both of you for a tax
increase on those making as little as $42,000 per year while the voting
record clearly shows that John McCain did not vote as you and Joe Biden.
You lied to America .



You and Joe Biden claim that John McCain voted with George W. Bush 90% of
the time when you know that Democrats also vote 90% of the time with the
President (including Joe Biden) because the vast majority of the votes are
procedural. You are one of the few who has not voted 90% of the time with
the president because you have been missing from the Senate since the day
you got elected. While your absence from your job in the Senate is of
concern, the greater concern is that you spin the facts.



You did not take an active role in the rescue plan. You claimed that the
Senate did not need you while the real reason that you abstained was
because of your close relationships with the executives of Fannie Mae,
Freddie Mac, Countrywide, and Acorn ... who all helped cause the financial
problems of today ... and they all made major contributions to your
campaign. While your relationship with these executives and your
protection of them for your brief 3 years in the Senate (along with Barney
Frank, Chuch Schumer, Maxine Waters, and Chris Dodd) is of concern, the
greater concern is that you are being deceitful.



You forgot to mention that you personally represented Tony Rezko and
Acorn. Tony Rezko, an Arab and close friend to you, was convicted of fraud
in Chicago real estate transactions that bilked millions of tax dollars
from the Illinois government for renovation projects that you sponsored as
a state senator ... and Acorn has been convicted of voter fraud, real
estate sub prime loan intimidation, and illegal campaign contributions.
Tony Rezko has contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars to your
political campaigns. You personally used your political positions to steer
money to both Tony Rezko and Acorn and you used Acorn to register
thousands of phony voters for Democrats and you. While your relationships
with Rezko and Acorn are of concern, the greater concern is that you
omitted important facts about your relationships with them to America .



During your campaign, you said: 'typical white person.' 'they cling to
their guns and religion.' 'they will say that I am black.' You played the
race card. You tried to label any criticism about you as racist. You
divide America .



You claim that you will reduce taxes for 95% of America , but you forgot
to tell America that those reductions are after you remove the Bush tax
reductions. You have requested close to $1 Billion in earmarks and several
million for Acorn. Your social programs will cost America $1 Trillion per
year and you claim that a reduction in military spending ($100 billion for
Iraq ) can pay for it. While your economic plan of adding 30% to the size
of our federal government is of concern, the greater concern is that you
are deceiving America .



The drain to America 's economy by foreign supplied oil is $700 Billion
per year (5% of GDP) while the war in Iraq is $100 Billion (less than 1%
of GDP). You voted against any increases to oil exploration for the last 3
years and any expansion of nuclear facilities. Yet today, you say that you
have always been for more oil and more nuclear. You are lying to America .



Mr. Obama, you claimed that you 'changed' your mind about public financing
for your campaign because of the money spent by Republican PACs in 2004.

The truth is that the Democrat PACs in 2004, 2006, and 2008 spent twice as
much as the Republican PACs (especially George Soros and MoveOn. org). You
are lying to America .



Mr. Obama, you have done nothing to stop the actions of the teachers'
union and college professors in the USA . They eliminated religion from
our history. They teach pro gay agendas and discuss sex with students as
young as first grade. They bring their personal politics into the
classrooms. They disparage conservatives. They brainwash our children.
They are in it for themselves ..... not America . Are you reluctant to
condemn their actions because teachers/professors and the NEA contribute
25% of all money donated to Democrats and none to Republicans? You are
deceiving America .



Oh Mr. Obama, Teddy Roosevelt said about a hundred years ago that we
Americans should first look at the character of our leaders before
anything else.



Your character looks horrible. While you make good speeches, motivating
speeches, your character does not match your rhetoric. You talk the talk
but do not walk the walk.



1. You lied to America . You lied many times. You distorted facts. You
parsed your answers like a lawyer.



2. You distorted the record of John McCain in your words and in your
advertisements.



3. You had associations with some very bad people for your personal
political gains and then lied about those associations.



4. You divide America about race and about class.



Now let me compare your record of lies, distortions, race baiting, and
associations to John McCain: War hero. Annapolis graduate with 'Country
first.' Operational leadership experience like all 43 previously elected
presidents of the USA as a Navy Officer for 22 years. 26 years in the
Senate. Straight talk. Maverick. 54% of the time participated on bills
with Democrats. Never asked for an earmark. The only blemish on his record
is his part in the Keating 5 debacle about 25 years ago.



Mr. Obama, at Harvard Law School, you learned that the end does not
justify the means. You learned that perjury, false witness, dishonesty,
distortion of truth are never tolerated. Yet, your dishonesty is
overwhelming. Your dishonesty is tremendously greater than the dishonesty
that caused the impeachment and disbarment of Bill Clinton. Your
dishonesty is tremendously greater than the dishonesty of Scooter Libby.
You should be ashamed.



Mr. Obama, it is time for us Americans to put aside our differences on
political issues and vote against you because of your dishonest character.
It is time for all of us Americans to put aside our political issues and
vote for America first. It is time for America to vote for honesty.



Any people who vote for you after understanding that you are dishonest
should be ashamed of themselves for making their personal political issues
more important than character. Would these same people vote for the
anti-Christ if the anti-Christ promised them riches? Would they make a
golden calf while Moses was up the mountain? Would they hire someone for a
job if that someone lied in an interview? .... of course not. So why do
some of these people justify their votes for you even though they know you
are dishonest? Why do they excuse your dishonesty? because some of these
people are frightened about the future, the economy, and their financial
security .... and you are praying on their fears with empty promises ...
and because some (especially our young peo ple) are consumed by your
wonderful style and promises for 'change' like the Germans who voted for
Adolf Hitler in 1932. The greed/envy by Germans in 1932 kept them from
recognizing Hitler for who he was. They loved his style. Greed and envy
are keeping many Americans from recognizing you ... your style has
camouflaged your dishonesty .... but many of us see you for who you really
are ... and we will not stop exposing who you are every day, forever if it
is necessary.



Mr.. Obama, you are dishonest. Anyone who votes for you is enabling
dishonesty.



Mr. Obama , America cannot trust that you will put America first in your
decisions about the future.



Mr. Obama, you are not the 'change' that America deserves. We cannot trust
you.



Mr. Obama, You are not ready and not fit to be commander in chief.



Mr. Obama, John McCain does not have as much money as your campaign to
refute all of your false statements. And for whatever reasons, the
mainstream media will not give adequate coverage or research about your
lies, distortions, word parsing, bad associations, race bating, lack of
operational leadership experience, and general dishonest character. The
media is diverting our attention to your relationships and ignoring the
fact that you lied about those relationships. The fact that you lied is
much more important than the relationships themselves .... just like with
Bill Clinton and Richard Nixon ... Monica Lewinski and Watergate were not
nearly as bad as the fact that those gentlemen lied about the events ...
false witness ... perjury ... your relationships and bad judgements are
bad on their own .... but your lies are even worse.



Therefore, by copy of this memo, all who read this memo are asked to send
it to everyone else in America before it is too late. We need to do the
job that the media will not do. We need to expose your dishonesty so that
every person in America understands who you really are before election
day.



Mr. Obama, in a democracy, we get what we deserve. And God help America if
we deserve you.
