James Johnson criticized for favorable loans he received from a sub-prime mortgage lender now under federal investigation

An embattled member of Sen. Barack Obama's vice presidential search team quit Wednesday following criticism of favorable loans he received from a sub-prime mortgage lender now under federal investigation.
James Johnson, a longtime Washington insider whose roots go back to the Carter administration, resigned from Obama's three-person vetting team following four days of controversy over his personal loans with preferential terms.
"Jim did not want to distract in any way," Obama said in a statement. "We have a very good selection process under way, and I am confident that it will produce a number of highly qualified candidates for me to choose from in the weeks ahead."
It was a complete reversal for the Illinois Democrat from his statements the previous day, when Obama stood by Johnson and suggested there was no need to "vet the vetters."
. . . Unlike a controversy this spring involving Obama's longtime Chicago pastor, Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr., Obama moved much more quickly to distance himself from questions encircling Johnson.
"He's learned he's got to have a war room and turn things around rapidly or he'll get hammered," said James Thurber, director of the Center for Congressional and Presidential Studies at American University in Washington.
Barack Obama And His Marxist Friends And Family
Black And White And Red All Over
Its sounds too good to be true, but our days of supporting only weak liberal progressives are at an end. With Barack Obama we finally have a true Comrade.
Understandably he doesn't admit to being a Marxist, however all one has to do is look at his friends and family, many who were openly Marxist to know he is a fellow traveler.
It starts with his parents, followed by his mentor Frank Marshall Davis, onto Chicago where he was supported by several good leftist, and finally his Official campaign blogger who is also a contributor to the Socialist Viewpoint magazine.
You may ask how can we be sure, after all he sort of walks and talks like a capitalist? Clearly he's a Marxist in Progressive clothing. Just ask any unenlightened capitalist how many Communist friends and family members they have. I willing to guess most will say not one. So how else can you explain Obama's lifelong association with one true believer after another. The answer is as plain as the Hammer and Sickle on our flag. -- He Is One Of Us.
Stanley Ann Dunham Obama Soetoro aka Mom
Ann Dunham was a radical leftist and cultural Marxist. She lived in the Seattle area; spending her teenage years in Seattle 's coffee shops with other young radical leftist. Obama a claims his mother's family were conservative Methodists or Baptists from Kansas However his mother's parents were members of left-wing Unitarian church near Seattle.
The church located in Bellevue, Washington was nicknamed "the little red church," because of it's communist leanings.
The school Ann attended, Mercer Island High School, was a hotbed of pro-Marxist radical teachers. John Stenhouse, board member, told the House Un-American Activities Subcommittee that he had been a member of the Communist Party USA and this school has a number of Marxists on it's staff. Two teachers at this school, Val Foubert and Jim Wichterman, both Frankfurt School style Marxists, taught a critical theory curriculum to students which include rejection of societal norms, attacks on Christianity, the traditional family, and assigned readings by Karl Marx. The hallway between Foubert's and Wichterman classrooms was sometimes called "anarchy ally."
Barack Hussein Obama Sr.
In 1965 Obama Sr. wrote an important paper titled "Problems Facing Our Socialism", published in the East Africa Journal, harshly criticizing the blueprint for national planning titled "African Socialism and Its Applicability to Planning in Kenya" produced by Tom Mboya's Ministry of Economic Planning and Development.
Obama's paper put him on the side of communist-allied leader Oginga Odinga against pro-Western 'third way" leader Tom Mboya and the President of Kenya Jomo Kenyatta.
Frank Marshall Davis
In Hawaii, Barack was mentored by a member of the Communist Party by the name of Frank Marshall Davis. Davis, who Obama calls only “Frank” in his memoir “Dreams from My Father” was an unrepentant communist. He stayed with the Communist Party even after the Hitler-Stalin pact. That’s why he is referred to as “a Stalinist agent.”
Other prominent black Americans who had gotten into the Communist Party had left it because it had become an apologist for some horrible crimes not only committed by Stalin but by the Soviet system. Yet Frank Marshall Davis stayed with the party and wrote some infamous poems not only defending the Soviet Union but attacking the United States.
Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn
You know the connection but keep in mind that the Weather Underground terrorists, Bill Ayers and Bernardine Dohrn, were communist terrorists. They were not just '60s radicals. These were people who openly supported the communist enemy killing Americans in Vietnam. Some of the members in this group, including Dohrn, had traveled to Havana, Cuba, to get instructions from the communists about how to wage their campaign in the United States.
Sen. Alice Palmer and Dr. Quentin Young
According to the public evidence Obama launched his political career in Chicago at the home of Bernardine Dohrn and Bill Ayers. Other people who were there include then-state Sen. Alice Palmer and a Dr. Quentin Young. Those two people are almost as significant as Ayers and Dohrn.
There are two reports that state Sen. Palmer had been involved in a Communist Party front group called the U.S. Peace Council and had actually made a trip to the old Soviet Union.
Dr. Quentin Young had been accused of involvement and membership in the Communist Party, and he refused to answer as well when he was called before a committee to explain his financial support for radicals who were behind the riots in Chicago at the Democratic National Convention back in 1968.
Sam Graham-Felsen
Hired to run Obama's blog, writes in a Marxist publications that openly calls for revolution against the American government.
Sam is a former writer for the leftist Nation magazine and a contributor to the Socialist Viewpoint, is certainly a believer in class warfare. The product of a Harvard education, Sam is an admirer of anti-American academic Noam Chomsky, a great political philosopher. Mr. Chomsky is fond of visiting dictators and terrorists and giving speeches blaming all the worlds' ills on America.

Obama’s New Advisor Stained by Clinton Pardon Scandal
June 7, 2008 - by Jennifer Rubin
Eric Holder, a member of Barack Obama's VP search committee, played an important role in the much-maligned pardon of fugitive Marc Rich. Is this the Democratic candidate's idea of 'change' and 'new politics'?
Cocky Ignorance
this is a must-read by Thomas Sowell
. . . do the media even care whether Senator Obama knows what he is talking about? Or is the symbolism of "the first black President" paramount, even if that means a President with cocky ignorance at a time of national danger?
The media have been crucial to Barack Obama's whole candidacy. His only achievements of national significance in his entire career have been media achievements and rhetorical achievements.
Perhaps his greatest achievement has been running as a candidate with an image wholly incompatible with what he has actually been doing for decades. This man who is now supposedly going to "unite" us has for years worked hand in glove, and contributed both his own money and the taxpayers' money, to people who have sought to divide us in the most crude demagogic ways.
With all his expressed concern about the war in Iraq, he has not set foot in Iraq for more than two years-- including the very years when progress has been made against the terrorists there.
You don't need to know the facts when you have cocky ignorance and the media behind you.

Okla. Dem calls Obama liberal, declines to endorse
OKLAHOMA CITY (AP) — Democratic Rep. Dan Boren of Oklahoma said Tuesday Barack Obama is "the most liberal senator" in Congress and he has no intention of endorsing him for the White House.
However, Boren will vote for Obama at the Democratic National Convention in Denver in August and will vote Democratic on Nov. 4.
"I think this is an important time for our country," Boren said in a telephone interview. "We're facing a terrible economic downturn. We have high gasoline prices. We have problems in our foreign policy. That's why I think it's important."
Boren, the lone Democrat in Oklahoma's congressional delegate, said that while Obama has talked about working with Republicans, "unfortunately, his record does not reflect working in a bipartisan fashion."
Boren, a self-described centrist, is seeking a third term this year in a mostly rural district that stretches across eastern Oklahoma.
"We're much more conservative," Boren said of district. "I've got to reflect my district. No one means more to me than the people who elected me. I have to listen them." He called Obama "the most liberal senator in the U.S. Senate."
Hillary Rodham Clinton carried Boren's district with 66 percent of the vote in the state's presidential primary in February.
