Presidential Scam – Who is Michelle Obama?

November 2, 2008

Fool me once shame on you! Fool me twice shame on me!

I address this message directly to you, Michelle Obama.

It is about time you came out clean and honest to the American electorate and me.

There is plenty to expose the truth about you and your Personal agenda –

“Empower yourself and enslave the rest.”

The election is not over yet.

You are acting and behaving as though the game is over.

I am not going to beat around the bush as I have not earned the title as a “Straight Shooter” for nothing.

The honorable and icon of peace Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. will be turning in his grave to note the despicable conduct by you.

Dr. King certainly had a dream and that was not to use and abuse others to achieve your whims and fantasies in your life.

Dr. King’s dream was to unite and not divide this nation, contrary to your real motives.

These statements are testaments and not allegations.

Every piece of evidence is available to prove your real intention and notion for the people and this country, which is unfortunately neither pretty nor pleasant.

The world does not know about the dark side of your personality.

However, they will know now.

Your connivance and manipulation by using and abusing virtuous individuals as your assault weapon against Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton to eliminate her out of your path during the Democratic Primary election, including the choice for Vice Presidential candidate of the Democratic Party… is reprehensible.

You also noted in your email, that you do not require the former “President Bill Clinton” on the campaign trail during the general election.

The reason being, you are carrying immense bitterness and remorse of history with a strong vendetta.

Even though, whatever you are today is because of the tremendous progress made by this great nation, which, you have failed to acknowledge up until recently.

The progress, though not perfect but still admirable was possible due to sacrifices by a great leader like Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, and courageous former Presidents like Lyndon B. Johnson and John F. Kennedy.

You denied of any involvement in the campaign decisions to the media and public.

In fact, you are the decision maker and the candidate Barack Obama is merely a puppet figure.

The country had already witnessed your true sentiments – Thanks to technology like You-Tube.

“For the first time in my adult life time, I am really proud of this country.”

Why?

Because you realize that, you are within grasp of the mantle of power to use and abuse others.

Your ultimatum to the American public, also quoted by the HBO television host, Bill Maher during his appearance on Larry King Live in late January 2008:

“You better get off the fence and vote for Obama, for you will not be given a second chance.”

Asserting a “Sense of entitlement” – Also available on You-Tube.

In fact, you were seeking the vote for your authority rather than for the candidate.

Your thesis at Princeton – Please refer to post script.

Available all over the cyberspace, not vigorously discussed because you control the media.

How?

Your preconditions on treatment and choice of questions prior to the appearance in the ABC television show “The View”, widely televised across the nation deserves attention as it highlights the truth about your persona.

Nevertheless, when Elisabeth Hasselbeck, the only opponent in that team let the cat out of the bag during her personal appearances on the republican campaign trail, the media under your supervision shot it down.

In addition, forcing your spouse and the Presidential candidate Barack Obama, by scheduling an interview with the targeted network and making him warn the critics and others to layoff, so that you can continue your charade behind the scenes.

You may control the media.

Fortunately, you will never be able to control the “virtual world”, your nemesis, the Information Superhighway.

Normally, people attend “Churches, Temples and Synagogues” for soul searching, peace and solace.

In your case, there is evidence that your attendance was for pure entertainment of USA bashing at the Church by the controversial “Rev. Jeremiah Wright.”

Suppression of facts and evidence –

Last but not the least,

The Controversial “Whitey” video sure exists –It is not out in the open because it is in your possession.

I do not wish to exhaust my visitors with any more explosive facts about you.

My personal experience with you, thus far has been nothing but regrettable.

Your personal email to me titled “Can’t wait to see you there”, a ploy in the form of invitation to attend your boring and megalomaniacal rally in San Jose, CA,

Only to discover the ugly motive behind that invitation was to ridicule me in public especially on the day of mysterious withdrawal by Senator John Edwards from the Presidential race.

The reason behind Senator John Edwards’s withdrawal may be a well kept secret then,

However, it was not a coincidence that it happened the morning after I published my blog post “Default Nominee” on January 29, 2008, at 11.48 p.m EST, to save the Democratic Party from an awkward dilemma if Senator John Edwards would have been the nominee.

It did not end there.

You continually target me for your dark political aspirations.

Earlier on, reference “Ethical View” , wwww.padminiarhant.com,

When I was conned to donate to your campaign on the pretext of dinner invitation, which never materialized.

Now, the personal invitation by Senator Barack Obama to join him on the election night has once again fueled your insecurity and you could not resist playing the same old tricks of collecting my donation and replying with a “cacophony” message from personally controlled default server.

You may consider this as your victory.

What you fail to understand is, your deception will be the cause of your downfall.

It is no secret that you rejoice belittling your spouse and the father of your children in public.

Senator Barack Obama even confirmed the fact during the recent Presidential debate moderated by Mr. Tom Brokaw.

Interestingly, your deceitful action has elevated Senator John McCain, the opponent of your dreams , a much better individual than yourself, because even if it is for a political reason “Joe the Plumber” is a national hero for asking a simple question on income redistribution.

Whereas, you could not remember my contact details during your gala celebration in August 2008.

Somehow, miraculously you discovered my existence especially in the past few weeks with your constant harassment via email and mail demanding that I get involved in the campaign as a “volunteer” and not as a paid worker.

Even though, the Obama campaign treasury is enviable as compared to their opponent.

The interesting scenario is, you never declined the unprecedented “pay” raise offered by the University of Chicago not on meritocracy,

However, for the virtue of being the spouse of state and then U.S Senator Barack Obama and your remarkable achievement in driving away poor and predominantly African American patients to fend for themselves.

Despite such background including the absence of any verifiable humanitarian record, your audacity to insist that others “volunteer” for your political gains is truly amazing.

Notwithstanding, the innuendoes and intimidation through powerful contacts so that you can achieve your narcissistic goals.

Further, you also dictated that Senator Barack Obama should never publicly acknowledge my contributions to the success of his campaign.

While, lavishly using my thoughts and ideas to promote the campaign.

If this is not to empower some and enslave the other, what else could it be?

Is it not the kind of “change” in order under your supremacy?

Politics is a dangerous game. You are in no way a “novice.”

You are remarkable at throwing anybody in your path to your destination under the bus, including your mentor, “spiritual guru”,and once a close family friend, Rev. Jeremiah Wright.

The other important factor in this historic race is, the Presidential Candidate Barack Obama is not exclusively an African American candidate.

That’s why, if memory serves he had to struggle initially to gain the whole hearted endorsement from the African American population for he was considered not “Black” enough.

A rhetoric used by none other than Michelle Obama during her political rally in San Jose, CA.

The Senator is also biologically and scientifically half “Caucasian” or “Anglo Saxon.”

It is tragic to note that this element is not interpreted forcefully as the mother, Stanley Anne Durham, who carried him in her womb for nine long months and raised him during the pivotal period of his childhood is eliminated from the genetic code.

It is being debated whether or not middle America will conform to the rest of America in this election.

What is forgotten?

It was, the predominantly “White” electorate in Iowa that conveyed the strong message of unity and set the stage for real “transformation” in America.

___________________________________________

Senator Barack Obama – Here is a fair question for you.

If you can’t stand up to your controlling and domineering wife Michelle Obama, how are you going to defend this nation against Al Qaida and others?
________________________________________________
Michelle Obama, this is democracy and not “Aristocracy,”

With the divine intervention in force, (Is it not the reason for your harassment to seek my endorsement?)

You may be successful in the assassination of character but not “Truth”.

You are challenging destiny.

Try however you may, you will never succeed in your endeavors.

The end justifies the means. That is Karma.

Thank you.

Some more facts to enlighten you about yourself by the concerned voters: Please refer to the “Post Script.”

P.S. Extracts from various websites – Sodahead.com, Rock the Truth and many others.

“Michelle Obama is a living witness.

Her February 18 comment that she felt proud of her country for the first time caused a minor scandal, and was hastily qualified. But she meant it, and more.

The video footage of her remarks shows eyes hooded with rage as she declares:

“For the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country.”

The desperation, frustration and disappointment visible on Michelle Obama’s face are not new to the candidate’s wife; as Steve Sailer, Rod Dreher and other commentators have noted, they were the theme of her undergraduate thesis, on the subject of “blackness” at Princeton University.

No matter what the good intentions of Princeton, which founded her fortunes as a well-paid corporate lawyer, she wrote,

“My experiences at Princeton have made me far more aware of my ‘Blackness’ than ever before.

I have found that at Princeton no matter how liberal and open-minded some of my White professors and classmates try to be toward me, I sometimes feel like a visitor on campus; as if I really don’t belong.”

Never underestimate the influence of a wife who bitch-slaps her husband in public.

Early in Obama’s campaign, Michelle Obama could not restrain herself from belittling the senator.

“I have some difficulty reconciling the two images I have of Barack Obama.

There’s Barack Obama the phenomenon. He’s an amazing orator, Harvard Law Review, or whatever it was, law professor, best-selling author, Grammy winner. Pretty amazing, right?

And then there’s the Barack Obama that lives with me in my house, and that guy’s a little less impressive,” she told a fundraiser in February 2007.

“For some reason this guy still can’t manage to put the butter up when he makes toast, secure the bread so that it doesn’t get stale, and his five-year-old is still better at making the bed than he is.” New York Times columnist Maureen Dowd reported at the time,

“She added that the TV version of Barack Obama sounded really interesting and that she’d like to meet him sometime.” Her handlers have convinced her to be more tactful since then.

Michelle Obama, Wildly Successful but not good enough

Princeton, Harvard …. the highest standard of living for African Americans anywhere in the world, and it’s not good enough.

Apparently she “found that at Princeton, no matter how liberal and open-minded some of my white professors and classmates try to be toward me,

I sometimes feel like a visitor on campus”.

Someone ought to tell her, everyone feels alienated, a “visitor”.

It’s part of the human condition.

The answer is not further alienation and separatism, but inclusion.

Fighting for rational self interest is the answer not “victimization”.

It certainly does not bode well for American leadership.

There is something terribly wrong with this thinking.

Love America baby, don’t blame America. Great Clarence Thomas, Michael Steele …. these are Black leadership role models.

——————————–

Michelle Obama thesis was on racial divide Politico hat tip Larwyn:

Michelle Obama’s senior year thesis at Princeton University, obtained from the campaign by Politico, shows a document written by a young woman grappling with a society in which a black Princeton alumnus might only be allowed to remain “on the periphery.”

Read the full thesis here: Part 1, Part 2, Part 3, Part 4.

“My experiences at Princeton have made me far more aware of my ‘blackness’ than ever before,”

the future Mrs. Obama wrote in her thesis introduction.

“I have found that at Princeton, no matter how liberal and open-minded some of my white professors and classmates try to be toward me,

I sometimes feel like a visitor on campus; as if I really don’t belong.

Regardless of the circumstances underwhich I interact with whites at Princeton, it often seems as if, to them, I will always be black first and a student second.”

The thesis, titled “Princeton-Educated Blacks and the Black Community” and written under her maiden name, Michelle LaVaughn Robinson, in 1985, has been the subject of much conjecture on the blogosphere and elsewhere in recent weeks, as it has been “temporarily withdrawn” from Princeton’s library until after this year’s presidential election in November.

Some of the material has been written about previously, however, including a story last year in the Newark Star Ledger.

Obama writes that the path she chose by attending Princeton would likely lead to her “further integration and/or assimilation into a white cultural and social structure that will only allow me to remain on the periphery of society; never becoming a full participant.”

More grievances from the concerned voters:

Voters Comments: Sodahead.com and live chats in the cyberspace.

Latest from Socialist MO…

“Don’t go into corporate America.

You know, become teachers.

Work for the community.

Be social workers.

Be a nurse.

Those are the careers that we need, and we’re encouraging our young people to do that.

But if you make that choice, as we did, to move out of the money-making industry into the helping industry, then your salaries respond.”

Faced with that reality, she adds, “many of our bright stars are going into corporate law or hedge-fund management.”

What she doesn’t mention is that the helping industry has treated her pretty well.

In 2006, the Chicago Tribune reported that Mrs. Obama’s compensation at the University of Chicago Hospital, where she is a vice president for community affairs, jumped from $121,910 in 2004, just before her husband was elected to the Senate, to $316,962 in 2005, just after he took office.

And that does not count the money Mrs. Obama receives from serving on corporate boards.

She would have been O.K. even without Jack’s magic beans.

Mrs. Obama also bemoaned the amount of money she has to spend — nearly one-third of the median household income in Zanesville — on piano, dance, and other lessons for her two children.

It would be insane to exclude the personal trainer that maintains MO’s “vital statistics” with a wakeup call at 4.00a.m.

She can surely relate to middle class and lower income population in this country.

She is a hypocrite.

She worked for an at profit hospital which actually charged more for the poor than those with coverage , etc.

And she was, maybe still is, on the Board of Directors of Tree House Foods whose CEO made 26milllion while it employs Latinos at low wages and no benefits and that company makes less profit than WalMart which Barrack attacks for it’s labor policy and it’s CEO who made 10.5 million.

And you know about her other blunders about first time she is proud to be an American etc. 3/17 addendum

Michelle Obama’s statement becomes crystal clear in view of recent news about the anti-white,

anti-American sermons preached by Rev Wright, at TUCC, which she attended for some 20 years.

How could she attend this church and be close friends with RevWright and not know what his beliefs are.”

Redistribution of Wealth

October 31, 2008

The latest assault weapon for Senator John McCain and Gov. Sarah Palin against their opponent Senator Barack Obama is the "Socialist/Marxist/Robin Hood" tag on him.

Such rhetoric and false propaganda is to create doubts in the minds of entrepreneurs against Senator Obama.

The distortion of Senator Obama’s policy leading businesses to believe that,

"In Taxing 1% of the population in the 40% tax bracket while shifting the tax burden to the top 10% with 70% of tax exacerbates the entities from active participation in the economic growth."

The reason behind similar branding is the fair tax proposal presented by Senator Obama to alleviate the socioeconomic problems that has currently widened the canyon between rich and poor in our country.

Thus slowly but gradually eliminating the middle class in our society.

Senator Barack Obama’s tax policy is based on relieving all citizens including small and medium sized businesses earning less than or equal to gross income of $250,000 per annum from any tax hikes to offset expenditure.

This strategy creates financial liquidity among households and businesses alike that is desperately required to stimulate the ailing economy.

By exempting the average households from any tax increases, the consumer spending is generated that will benefit the Retail economy which in turn will permeate throughout the economic spectrum.

The strengthening of the Retail economy will boost the manufacturing, service industry… reaching all the way to top of the Corporate growth.

The Corporate growth means investment prospects for both private and public investors resulting in healthier and consistent stock market performance that has been highly volatile recently.

It is simple economics.

Supply and demand forces determine a free market system.

Unless, there is a demand for any particular goods or services the supply chain link cannot remain in force.

Simultaneously, the demand can be a catalyst in the process only through affordable consumer spending.

This is where the small and medium sized businesses come into play with the tax breaks from Senator Obama’s policy.

It is noteworthy that small and medium sized businesses deal with wholesale industries for raw materials and other items ultimately owned by major corporations in a market economy.

There are valid reasons to embrace the market economy worldwide.

A. Induces competition apart from enrichment of ideas

B. Competition enables choices in quality and price

C. Controls inflation or deflation

Therefore, the retail consumers benefit from the market economy that facilitates all small, medium and large players in competing with one another effectively for common good.

All of the above factors directly and indirectly influence the fiscal, monetary and economic policies in a Capital economy.

Briefly, the cash flow offered through tax relief by Senator Obama to a substantial group of taxpayers who are also the consumers trigger consumer spending and exponentially elevate the economic status among the various groups in the society.

It also eventually contributes to the wealth accumulation by the top ten percent in the society whose welfare alone is a major concern for McCain/Palin candidacy.

Ironically, the McCain/Palin candidacy in their zeal to own Capitalism as their trademark, fail to recognize the importance of fundamental growth in the lower and middle income groups vital for the survival of small businesses and retail industries, the structural components of a successful Capital economy.

Senator McCain’s tax policy to freeze tax increases across the board by asserting that the Bush administration’s permanent tax cuts to wealthy individuals and Corporations would somehow miraculously revive the economy is a fantasy beyond reason.

It is worth remembering for McCain/Palin campaign that the current Bush administration, as their supporter will depart shortly leaving the nation with multi-trillion dollar debt, on-going wars in Iraq and Afghanistan requiring constant capital injection, declining dollar and hosts of economic commitments willfully neglected in the past eight years.

The undecided/swing voters in every battleground state must realize that there are no precise solutions from McCain/Palin candidacy to resolve the humongous challenges confronting our nation in the absence of any meaningful tax policy.

Senator McCain’s policy to create new jobs as economic solutions again fails to meet the criteria of capital requirement in the present economy with severe financial liquidity crisis.

In fact, the recent economic strategy to bankroll the corrupt and failed financial institutions with the taxpayers funds, along with the economic stimulus package by the Bush administration fits the profile of the political stigma – "Socialism/Marxism" except,

Here, the beneficiaries are the financial institutions and their wealthiest CEO’s rather than the taxpayers, i.e. the average citizens.

Since, the same political party represents the Bush administration and McCain/Palin candidacy, it would be more appropriate to assign the factoid to the respective contenders.

Fact Check: In a progressive tax structure, Senator Obama’s policy to exempt the vast majority of taxpayers/consumers from tax increase would,

1. Promote economic status as highlighted above…

2. Ultimately, create a fair system of sharing the economic burden by all rather than only by the affluent ones.

Such farsighted and permanent solutions to persisting economic problems is in direct contradiction to the myth and misnomer cast by McCain/Palin doctrine against Senator Barack Obama to win the election.

Socialism, Marxism may well be the nemesis to Capitalism,

Capitalism cannot thrive without consumerism – That is the fact.

Thank you.

Voting Right

October 29, 2008

The election is around the corner.

Our nation’s electoral process is nearing conclusion.

Both party candidates are working very hard along with thousands of campaign workers to set a better example of a credible election in the world’s first and modern democracy.

Of course, the debates, discussions and campaign speeches will continue until the eve of the election.

What is important for the electorate to understand is their role in this historic and democratic process?

The candidates have done their part in delivering their speeches and presenting the policies for various challenges confronting our nation.

It is now entirely in the hands of the electorate to make the right choice.

We all know the consequences of making wrong decisions based on personal background, rhetoric and election gimmicks that often come into play at the last minute of the event.

Unfortunately, the rhetoric from Senator McCain and Gov. Sarah Palin’s campaign against Senator Barack Obama is fundamentally immoral and resonating the usual tactics of the political game… Do or say anything to win election .

Anyone residing in this nation in the past eight years should know where that kind of politics has brought us both in the national and international scene —

The nation dragged on its knees with the economic disaster, relentless and reckless wars, education, health care, energy and environmental crises and last but not the least the decline in morality with the cavalier approach to every problem and situation.

It is time for the electorate to rise to the occasion and save the country every one of us love.

Moreover, invite the best opportunities that are lost in the past eight years of failed policies by casting your vote for Senator Barack Obama and Senator Joe Biden’s candidacy.

As stated earlier on numerous occasions, Senator Barack Obama’s candidacy is historic in many aspects.

Most importantly, it has the right antidote for the ailing economy, health care, education, energy, foreign policy and environmental crises.

Gov. Sarah Palin’s environmental record is no secret.

Anyone in need of enlightenment in this respect please read the article Save the Planet on www.padminiarhant.com under environment and ethics category.

Further, Gov. Palin’s position in denying the women’s right to choose in Roe vs. Wade is yet another matter of concern in a democratic society.

Senator John McCain on his part is all over the place on all issues.

The reason being;

The Senator has focused more on vilification of his opponent Senator Barack Obama with unethical personal attacks and unsavory remarks rather than specifying the solutions for the nation’s problems.

Senator John McCain, who won the Republican Primary election as a maverick lost his persona in the general election.

The era of winning elections on personal attacks and rhetoric is outdated unlike 2000 and 2004 proclamations.

In this election 2008, a new trend has been set and the electorate, media and news organizations must insist that candidates and all other participants maintain the decorum.

Nothing else matters other than the sanctity of democratic values in this election or in the future.

All that the voters care about and deserve is the clear strategy and solutions for the problems created by the legislators mostly representatives of the Corporations.

The voters in all battleground states – Nevada, Colorado, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Virginia, Florida and Missouri must make a clear choice:

If they want to see their children and the future generation relieved from the burden of multi- trillion dollar debts and the planet they could live safely and peacefully.

That choice cannot be anything other than the Obama/Biden candidacy.

Please stop guessing and swaying on the baseless and false allegations about Senator Barack Obama from the McCain/Palin campaign.

It should be obvious to any discerning voter that any candidacy that evades the real issues and invest the entire resources in character assassination of a candidate like Senator Barack Obama will be a disaster for the citizens and the country.

The time is now to claim the mantle of peace, progress and prosperity for all from those responsible for chaos, catastrophe and crises.

It is achievable only through Obama/Biden candidacy.

Your vote will count and matter only with the Obama/Biden candidacy.

Please do it for yourself, your children and all the other loved ones by voting early for the candidacy of Senator Barack Obama and Senator Joe Biden.

Finally, please standby for clarification on distortion of facts such as,

Redistribution of Wealth and other personal issues raised by McCain/Palin campaign against Senator Barack Obama.

Thank you.

The Truth Doctrine

October 25, 2008

Why do people run for public office?

It all depends on individuals. Some are genuinely passionate about doing greater good for the people and humanity like the Democratic Presidential candidate, Senator Barack Obama.

While others, participate for personal gains.

Lately, it is evident from the disastrous economy, reckless wars, environmental degradation and erosion of morality in the White House and Capitol Hill that Politics is a convenient platform for these entities to achieve their personal agenda.

That is why this current election is a historic event.

It is not only unique because of the race and gender on both sides but for the national interests on range of issues that are at stake right now.

Both parties have presented their policies and positions that matter to people.

It is important for the electorate to be discerning in their choice of the policies represented by Senator Barack Obama and Senator John McCain and not the candidate’s personal background.

The policies of these candidates eventually matter as they greatly affect the present and future of every citizen in this nation and around the world.

Therefore, it is important to analyze the benefits of such policies from Senator Barack Obama and Senator Joe Biden to drawbacks of Senator John McCain and Governor Sarah Palin.

It is no doubt that this election has been a long grueling process for the candidates involved in the race.

This in itself confirms the drive, commitment and pledge by the candidate Senator Barack Obama to bring about the real Change desperately required now.

The reason Senator Barack Obama’s performance is important because of the tenacious battle he won during the Democratic Primary election.

The Senator’s demeanor, poise, passion and vision are commendable.

Senator Barack Obama’s policy has substance and real solutions to all the problems confronting our nation.

During the race, it is normal for candidates to make mistakes as characterized by the media as Gaffes and being infallible is not in the human nature.

It is important for all to acknowledge one’s own shortcomings prior to being judgmental and I am no exception to this call.

I am profoundly apologetic to Senator Barack Obama of such irrationality that may have caused grievances in any manner.

Sometimes, when treading on the path to do the best for the betterment of humanity it is easier to lose sight due to various distractions from forces acting against the noble task.

The motive behind such forces is to create an environment of massive doubts and confusions for their narcissistic goals by disregarding the harm to decent and virtuous individuals as the targets.

However, it is worth remembering for all those individuals responsible for such deception that the moment is near to unveil the masquerade.

Whether one is a believer in Karma or not, the world has witnessed the virtue ethics such as —

The end justifies the means,

What you sow is what you reap,

Last but not the least,

What goes around comes around.

By seeking perfection every step of the way the precious moments to do what is, right for the nation should not be lost.

The Obama/Biden leadership has experience, knowledge, understanding and most importantly the simplicity of middle class background that is essential to relate to the people with real problems and crises.

Our country needs a dynamic leadership to steer us from the current turmoil and great many challenges ahead.

That leadership with honesty, integrity and nobility lies in the candidacy of Senator Barack Obama.

This is no time for contemplation or procrastination.

It is the time for action.

Please go to the polls for voter registration if it is still possible and cast your ballots to the candidacy represented by Senator Barack Obama and Senator Joe Biden that is the only choice for peace, progress and prosperity for all.

Your vote for Obama/Biden candidacy will count and free this nation from all of the present disasters.

The Truth Doctrine confirms that the Obama/Biden is the ideal choice.

Signing off with some interesting musical notes, regarded one of the best antidotes for ailments in human psyche.

Please check it out.

Unethical Practice

October 15, 2008

Unethical Practice

Politics is never fair and has several “ugly” heads that arise precipitously, especially during election time.

There are “entities” with ulterior motive to serve their interest over the country’s future that deserve attention by the electorate.

As stated earlier, communication with political figures is not out of ordinary for private citizens, particularly during elections.

However, there are occasions when citizens get involved in the political campaign; the political candidates expect monetary contributions and other assistance to prevail in the elections.

There have been requests from both “Presidential Campaigns” in this regard.

With a firm commitment to help people and their interests, my position has been clear from the beginning. That is, to support… the policies, the strategies and solutions for all the crises confronting our nation rather than a political “rhetoric” or a “personality.”

I share the recent communication with the “Presidential Campaign” of Senator Barack Obama.

The original transcript from the Vice Presidential Candidate, the Hon. Senator Joe Biden:

To: Padmini Arhant

From: Joe Biden, Obama for America, Chicago, IL 60680.

Dear Ms. Arhant,

Barack Obama and I come from very different places, but we share a common story – an American story.

He was the son of a single mom who sometimes struggled to support her kids. But she raised him to believe in America; to believe that in this country, there is no obstacle that can keep you from your dreams, if you are willing to work hard and fight for them.

I was an Irish-Catholic kid from Scranton with a father who – like too many people today – fell on hard times in a tough economy. Buy my parents raised me to believe that it is not how many times you get knocked down, it’s how quickly you get up.

That’s the American promise that Barack Obama and I believe in. And it’s a promise that’s been knocked around under eight years of George Bush and John McCain.

The McCain campaign wants us to think he believes in change – that he’s a maverick who’s independent of George W. Bush. I know better.

I’ve served with John McCain in the Senate for 22 years. I know him as a courageous patriot and an honorable man. But what he is not — not by any stretch – a maverick.

You’re not a maverick when you vote with George W. Bush 90 percent of the time, as John McCAin has.

You’re not a maverick when you boast – and these are John’s words, not mine – that “no one has supported President Bush on Iraq more than I have.”

You’re not a maverick when you endorse the tax cuts for the wealthy that have been George W. Bush’s only excuse for an economic policy.

And I don’t know what you are – or where you’re living, unless it’s is in one of seven houses you need your staff to count – when you say, as John McCain has, that “there’s been great progress economically” under the Bush Administration.

Still, there was one sense in which I thought John was different from George W. Bush – and I have to tell you I’ve been disappointed to learn how wrong I was.

Whatever our other disagreements, I always thought John and I agreed that the slash-and-burn, divide-and-attack, Swift Boat brand of politics that the Bush machine popularized were debasing our democracy and tearing our country apart.

But today, as he seeks the presidency, John McCain has changed. He has become a practitioner of the very politics he once deplored.

He hired a protégé of Karl Rove to help run his campaign. After condemning the Swift Boat attacks of 2004, John took tens of thousands of dollars from their architects – and, with no sense of irony, even put one of them on his “Truth Squad” for 2008.

Meanwhile, John McCain has blanketed the airwaves with misleading attacks on Barack Obama. They’ve attacked Barack’s character and distorted his ideas.

When it comes down to, I regret to say, is that “John McCain campaigning on the high road” has become as much of a myth as “John McCain the maverick” always was.

And America can’t afford another campaign like this – a third George Bush campaign focused on small attacks rather than big ideas – any more than we can afford the four more years of George W. Bush’s policies that John McCain wants to give us.

Barack and I are committed to running a different kind of campaign — one that addresses our greatest challenges and appeals to our highest ideals.

But to do that, we need your continued help and support.

We are going to have to respond to every attack – every one, every time – while simultaneously keeping our campaign focused on positive ideas. And the cost of running that kind of campaign will be enormous.

Padmini, I know you share both our vision for fundamental change in America and our disgust with the Swift Boat style of politics that John McCAin once decried but now practices. And I hope you’ll continue to help us fight back by rushing a generous contribution of $250 or even $500 to Obama for America.

And please don’t wait a single day. The American promise that gave Barack and me so much has been knocked around for eight tough years. Let’s get up – and restore it – together.

Sincerely,

Joe Biden

P.S. Padmini, the McCain campaign’s attacks on Barack Obama may be the product of desperation, and they’re certainly a poor substitute for vision and ideas – but that doesn’t mean they won’t work. If Barack and I lack the resources to respond, John McCain will be able to distort our ideas and distract America from eight years of Republican failures. We can’t let that happen – and if you’ll stand with us by supporting Obama for America, we won’t.

I responded to Senator Joe Biden’s letter:

October 9th, 2008.

Private and Confidential

Intended for Addressee Only

Hon. Senator Joe Biden
Vice Presidential Candidate
Democratic Party

Dear Senator Biden,

Thank you for your email, letters and kind remarks.

I have communicated with the Presidential candidate, Senator Barack Obama recently regarding my involvement in the campaign.

The letter received by Senator Barack Obama, lays out the premise of my engagement in the crucial Presidential contest.

I am awaiting response from Senator Obama in that respect.

To reiterate the viewpoint, I have forwarded the letter again and the scenario to Senator Obama for clear understanding.

I am hopeful that Senator Obama’s decision will be in favor of the better outcome for all.

Your cooperation and effort might expedite the communication as well.

As soon as I have a positive response from Senator Obama, I will consider it my patriotic duty and honor to support Obama Biden candidacy and assist the Democratic Party prevail in the highly contested general election on November 4th, 2008.

Thank you.

Sincerely,

Padmini Arhant

The Recent Incidents Indicate That Neither Of The Candidates Is In Receipt Of My Letters Sent By Priority And Certified Mail With Delivery Confirmation.

SUGGESTING – Déjà vu!

REF: Ethical View – www.padminiarhant.com

With great humility, I would like to let America and the rest of the world know about the flurry of communication from all corners on different subjects. It is an honor and at the same time a huge responsibility to express one’s opinion and ideas in public with the national and humanity interests at stake.

I have always tried my best in all circumstances to remain honest, sincere and genuine in the presentation of my thoughts. Further, considering the nature of the situation like the general election, I have prioritized my response to the “Presidential Candidates” requests over other issues.

Unfortunately, within Senator Barack Obama’s campaign, an individual with authority is being highly successful with the interception and even confiscation of my communication with both the Presidential and the Vice Presidential candidates.

It is very disturbing and a matter of concern since, such “unethical practice” in tampering with “private mail” is, in essence a “federal crime” and does not appear to bother this individual because the entity considers “oneself” above the law.

With the Presidential campaigns pledging to eradicate corruption and cronyism in Washington, it raises a serious credibility issue when “individuals” within the campaign pose threats to such commitments of tall order.

Secrecy, dominance and authoritarianism is the cause for the “status quo”… the nation brought to a freezing point and any resemblance of this kind in the future administration will not serve in the best interests of the people of the United States or the global community.

Democracy is active only, when there is absolute transparency and access to information at all levels.

The lack thereof, signifies imminent danger with “sense of entitlement” and abuse of “power” in the horizon.

Finally, it is worth remembering that “Man Proposes and God Disposes.”

Thank you.

Accountability

August 13, 2008

To: Senator Barack Obama, The Presumptive Democratic Nominee, Democratic Party.

As stated earlier, I list the issues that are of major concern to me.

The economic, energy, health care plan and time line for troop withdrawal from Iraq and troop deployment in Afghanistan laid out by your Campaign is lacking in specifics and as a tax payer I am interested in precise solutions from you as the “Presumptive Democratic nominee”.

It is important for tax payers to understand how exactly the policies are going to impact the economic standards particularly with the current economic difficulties in all fronts ranging from energy costs to food, education, health care and hosts of issues that matter to every individual of our nation.

Further, the plan to fund most social programs does not elaborate on the strategy to provide for these services. The proposal to raise taxes on investments i.e. Capital gains on dividends earned from sale or investment holdings is another concern for small investor like me relying on income from investments during economic downturns contributing to weak job markets nationwide.

National Health Care proposal needs to address the costs involved to fund the policy. The grim reality is the costs will be ultimately transferred to the tax payers/consumers by the industry initially in agreement with the proposal.

Unfortunately the recent performance by the government at the State and Federal level in balancing the budget has been disappointing and the tax payers including myself have little or no confidence in the government with the money management.

I am also extremely disappointed with your seismic shifts in issues such as voting in favor of “FISA”, “Gun Control”, “Public Financing – it appears more corporate donations are pouring in through corporate executives who in effect neutralize the anti-lobbyists position claimed by your campaign during the primary election”.

Somehow the Senator Obama, whom I vigorously supported by enduring attacks and criticisms from both Democratic and the Republican fronts is lost in the same “Washington” crowd that follows the golden rule….“say anything and do nothing politics.”

If it comes down to winning the election by any means and any shifts in position is justified as “Political Expediency”, I fail to see any “transformation” in “Washington”
with any new administration.

Since you emphasized on “Accountability” on the campaign trail and invited the electorate to bring forth issues concerning them, I have highlighted on some of them and hope to have a sincere response from you.

Once again, I appreciate the opportunity to present my concerns and not be treated as just another “donor” or one of “million volunteers” excited to get through the general election.

Thank you.
