Red State has a nice cheat sheet comparing the two candidates – their qualifications and experience (or lack thereof). Of special note is the prima facie evidence that Obama is corrupt. Firstly Obama started his campaign in the home of a convicted and unrepentant terrorist and bought his home with the assistance of a political fundraiser and convicted felon. After being elected to the Illinois Senate, Obama’s wife received a 160 per cent pay rise from her employer, a state hospital, while afterward Obama organised a $1m government grant for her employer. There is also extensive evidence of Obama using grants to curry favour with people. For instance:

In 2006, Sen. Obama requested an earmark $300,000 to replace and update the projector system at the Adler Planetarium. In 2008, he requested $3,000,000 for replacement of the projector system and other equipment in the Sky Theater. For reference, this is three times the amount he earmarked for the HIV/AIDS Policy and Research Institute at Chicago State University.

While the Adler Planetarium earmarks look normal on the surface, there is a catch. The Chairman and two of the Vice Chairman of the Adler Planetarium Board of Trustees raised a total of almost $250,000 for Sen. Obama’s 2008 Presidential campaign. The Adler Planetarium was probably pleasantly surprised when they found that their earmark increased by $2.7 million dollars, in other words, by a factor of ten.

A perceived conflict of interest should be all that is required for a fraud investigation to be launched. With the prima facie evidence against him, it is astounding that he is even in contention for the Presidency.
