The "respectable" media ignores this the same way they ignored Clinton's "bimbo eruptions" before he was elected.
The real challenge is to recognize similar patterns in the current political situation.
Accept that there is motive for "continuity of the dynasty."
Understand that CFR affiliation is a sure sign of cooperation with the dynasty.
Realize that the press is dominated by CFR members.
Obama's wife is CFR. He's CFR. He's got Zbigniew Brzezinski on the team. (Did you know that possibly a half million Indonesians were killed with the joint British-US backed Islamic operations against communists in the 1960s? Zbig was involved, learning to play chess on the grand chessboard.)
Supporting Obama because he sounds good is just giving the CFR a mandate. Just by refusing to vote you are saying "no."
Just perhaps your Father should have spent less time on political correctness and more on teaching of social manners. That lack has been liberally demonstrated.
The fact that you apparently look upon any system-approved selectee favorably while accepting the manufactured image without suspicion or skepticism would indicate that you're either hopelessly maladjusted or tragically naive.
There is no third possibility.
And, your attempts to elevate him with the shameless use of white guilt is proof of your immoral pragmatism, and America has suffered quite enough because of that, thank very much.
Which CFR member or members told Obama that war in Iraq was a dumb idea and why didn't they (apparently) tell the rest of the CFR politicians (who are legion)?

To reason, indeed, he was not in the habit of attending. His mode of arguing, if it is to be so called, was one not uncommon among dull and stubborn persons, who are accustomed to be surrounded by their inferiors. He asserted a proposition; and, as often as wiser people ventured respectfully to show that it was erroneous, he asserted it again, in exactly the same words, and conceived that, by doing so, he at once disposed of all objections. - Macaulay, "History of England," Vol. 1, Chapter 6, on James II.

Good post, ari.
Wouldn't it be refreshing to see some honest to goodness criticism of Barack's record and/or public statements instead of the repetition of Clinton/Rove patented smear tactics?

For blacks as a group it's mostly an optical illusion. Those accomplishments can only happen at all in a predominately white society. But there are two black men I would consider voting for. Unfortunately they'd never want the job.
As we meandered our way through the ever busy Bree Street, Harry could not help observing how filthy downtown Johannesburg had become. I had made the same disturbing observation myself the day I arrived, but had been reluctant to accept the disturbing fact that decay of public infrastructure seems to be the story in areas of the city inhabited by blacks. Predominantly black areas have become an eyesore. The beautiful lawns and flowerbeds I noticed in some areas three years earlier now tell sad stories of degradation. Some of them have become open-air urinals.

First you're assuming he means what he's saying. I wouldn't do that with a CFR-affiliated candidate. Second, you're assuming that he hasn't talked out of both sides of his mouth on this issue (he has). Just like the NAFTA commentary recently where he criticized Hillary for supporting it, but basically said we couldn't abolish it, he has also said that he would not give a timetable for our departure from Iraq.
I don’t oppose all wars. And I know that in this crowd today, there is no shortage of patriots, or of patriotism. What I am opposed to is a dumb war. What I am opposed to is a rash war. What I am opposed to is the cynical attempt by Richard Perle and Paul Wolfowitz and other arm-chair, weekend warriors in this Administration to shove their own ideological agendas down our throats, irrespective of the costs in lives lost and in hardships borne.
What I am opposed to is the attempt by political hacks like Karl Rove to distract us from a rise in the uninsured, a rise in the poverty rate, a drop in the median income – to distract us from corporate scandals and a stock market that has just gone through the worst month since the Great Depression.
That’s what I’m opposed to. A dumb war. A rash war. A war based not on reason but on passion, not on principle but on politics.
Before we invaded and bombed Iraq, when it was not popular to do so, Obama spoke out against the war in Iraq.

Which CFR member or members told Obama that war in Iraq was a dumb idea and why didn't they (apparently) tell the rest of the CFR politicians (who are legion)?
Actually, Zbig Brzezinski was saying that it was a dumb idea from the start. I remember him saying it on CNN a few weeks after the invasion started.
Not that many politicians may have acted on that belief, but, according to Lincoln Chafee, most Democrats in Congress privately shared it.

The globalists take a very longterm view of our political systems. They know that war is very unpopular. For example, Woodrow Wilson was swept into his second, fateful term, on the slogan "he kept us out of war."
Just because a candidate affiliated with the globalists expresses an opinion that appears contrary to a single, unique goal that has already been realized, does not mean that they disagree with the underlying principles of moving the planet toward global government.
We take the Iraq war very seriously, but it is just another brick in the wall to the globalists.
The real problems are twofold:
The stated goals of the CFR are diametrically opposed to individual liberties and America's national sovereignty.
The lack of accountability for the CFR's influence means that shadowy groups can impose policy on our government without public knowledge.
I find it impossible to support anyone appearing to be the lesser of two CFR evils.

If all you care about is the Iraq war, this might be significant.
The Iraq war is not all that I care about. Brzezinski has been making other sensible suggestions, like the desirability of negotiating with Iran, and of establishing a peace in Israel/Palestine. You can read all about it in his book The Choice.

Yeah, sure, we're supposed to take seriously someone who thinks Ike and JFK were selected by sworn enemies of the Republic.

How would that be relevant? For those who follow the Hegelian dialectic, each juncture in history is an opportunity. There will always be more chances to shape the future. They can afford to take a very long view.
They don't need any single candidate (clearly they have many, including Obama/McCain/Hillary/Romney/Huckabee/Edwards and so forth), and the Iraq war could have been started at a different time.
So you won't give Obama any credit for having spoken out forcefully against the Iraq war in 2002, even naming Wolfowitz and Perle by name (now that was really an unpopular thing to do)? Because in your opinion, he was following the orders of CFR?

Iraq is quickly moving into the past. We must keep our eyes on the future. Obama has discussed invading Pakistan, and he has talked of sending billions of dollars in US aid to Africa. He has also talked about using US troops under UN command in Africa. These are future areas of conflict, and Obama has left himself wide open to movement in that area. He also has our stay in Iraq covered, because he has declined to give a time line for withdrawal.
You're focused on what you want to hear. Obama may be out of office before his popular talk of withdrawal happens. Meanwhile, he may have us embroiled in Pakistan and Africa, which are both of great strategic value.
If all you care about is the Iraq war, Obama may be of some help to you.
If you care about stopping the use of America's political, industrial, and military force as a tool for achieving global government, you will run as far away from supporting Obama as you can.
In the long run, wars and domestic tyranny are how global government will be achieved.
And you think McCain and Hillary, especially McCain, will keep us out of other wars?
McCain has repeatedly promised us 100 years of wars. I think Obama's comments once about striking terrorists in Pakistan was a mistake. He hasn't repeated it to my knowledge.
WASHINGTON (AP) — Based on his Senate history, Barack Obama as president would likely push to expand human rights and reduce poverty abroad using cooperation rather than confrontation. If foreign events permit.
...
"While his efforts on the committee don't always get headlines, he's worked across the aisle on critical issues like nuclear nonproliferation, pressing (then-U.S. Ambassador to Iraq Zalmay) Khalilzad for a commitment for no permanent bases in Iraq, stopping the genocide in Darfur, and bringing war criminals to justice," said Obama spokesman Tommy Vietor.
But critics say Obama's brief experience in the Senate leaves voters in the dark about how he would handle foreign policy. They also attack some of his positions as naive, including his expressed willingness to meet leaders of Iran, Syria, Cuba, Venezuela and North Korea in his first year of office.
...
Confronting claims he's light on foreign policy experience, the senator has surrounded himself with well-known foreign policy advisers, including several who served in the Clinton administration: former national security adviser Tony Lake, former Navy Secretary Richard Danzig and Susan Rice, who was assistant secretary of state for African affairs.
Obama's chief foreign policy adviser on the campaign is Denis McDonough, a senior fellow at the Center for American Progress. McDonough took the job after Mark Lippert, a Navy reservist, was called to serve in Iraq.
When not campaigning, the senator often used full committee hearings to express his opposition to the Iraq war or his concern about the Bush administration's policy toward Iran.

First you're assuming he means what he's saying. I wouldn't do that with a CFR-affiliated candidate.
Obama, in Oct of 2002, as a young man, just turned 41, early into his political career spoke out vociferously against the war. He had the foresight and the political courage to say to the old establishment politicians that it was a mistake when virtually no one else said a mumbling word. What did that gain him politically at that moment?
McCain is CFR ... do you disbelieve him when he says we'll be there a hundred years?
he has also said that he would not give a timetable for our departure from Iraq.
He supports a plan to immediately begin troop withdrawal from Iraq at a pace of one or two brigades a month, to be completed by the end of 2008. It's right there on his website. Which other candidate has been more specific?

Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama said last night that fears of widespread sectarian and ethnic conflict in Iraq following a U.S. troop drawdown are not sufficient reason to justify the continued deployment of a large U.S. millitary force there.
The Illinois senator argued that logic, used by some supporters of the war in Iraq, was inconsistent with the U.S. military posture toward countries in the midst of genodical conflict, such as Congo and Sudan.
"Well, look, if that’s the criteria by which we are making decisions on the deployment of U.S. forces, then by that argument you would have 300,000 troops in the Congo right now — where millions have been slaughtered as a consequence of ethnic strife — which we haven’t done,” Obama said in an interview with The Associated Press.
“We would be deploying unilaterally and occupying the Sudan, which we haven’t done. Those of us who care about Darfur don’t think it would be a good idea,” he said.
Obama acknowledged it is likely there would be increased bloodshed if U.S. forces left Iraq.
“Nobody is proposing we leave precipitously. There are still going to be U.S. forces in the region that could intercede, with an international force, on an emergency basis,” Obama said between stops on the first of two days scheduled on the New Hampshire campaign trail. “There’s no doubt there are risks of increased bloodshed in Iraq without a continuing U.S. presence there.”
The greater risk is staying in Iraq, Obama said.
“It is my assessment that those risks are even greater if we continue to occupy Iraq and serve as a magnet for not only terrorist activity but also irresponsible behavior by Iraqi factions,” he said.

What does he mean, robin? He has said we should work to stop genocide in Africa. This will be under UN command. That's American troops fighting in blue helmets and taking orders from non-American commanders.
"Well, look, if that’s the criteria by which we are making decisions on the deployment of U.S. forces, then by that argument you would have 300,000 troops in the Congo right now — where millions have been slaughtered as a consequence of ethnic strife — which we haven’t done,” Obama said in an interview with The Associated Press.
