Is Obama Practicing 'The Secret'?

WAXING POETIC Obama's secret? Frequent brain massages (Photo: Getty Images)
It seemed a bit poorly timed when Oprah's new, post-Super Tuesday show yesterday returned to that scary, well-trod favorite subject of hers, The Secret.

Oprah! What about Obama? Is preaching bad self help and wishing for new luxury kitchen appliances (a topic actually covered on yesterday's show) really the best way to boost your fave candidate when he needs it most? If anything, the Super Tuesday results show that in some places (like California), it may take more than hope and optimism and a constant refrain of "yes we can" to win the Democratic nomination.

Which, got us to thinking, has the Obama campaign been using the Laws of Attraction all along? The Secret has been criticized for its focus on material gain. The Obama campaign has been well financed, expecting to raise another $30 million this month alone. After the jump, further evidence in the form of direct quotations from both The Secret and the presidential candidate of hope.

The Secret: It's not "wishful" thinking.
Obama: Yes We Can.—"Yes We Can"

The Secret: You have to find a different approach to what is through a different vantage point.
Obama: "There's no shortage of anger and bluster and bitter partisanship out there. We don't need more heat. We need more light."—in Des Moines, Iowa, December 27, 2007

The Secret: HOW LONG??? No rules on time ... the more aligned you are with positive feelings the quicker things happen.
Obama: "We know the battle ahead will be long, but always remember that no matter what obstacles stand in our way, nothing can stand in the way of the power of millions of voices calling for change."—"Yes We Can"

The Secret: Nothing matters but this moment and what you are focusing your attention on.
Obama: "There is a moment in the life of every generation when, if we are to make our mark on history, this spirit must break through. This is the moment. This is our time."—Des Moines, Iowa, December 27, 2007

The Secret: You are not here to try to get the world to be just as you want it. You are here to create the world around you that you choose.
Obama: "I wish the country had fewer lawyers and more engineers."—The Audacity of Hope

The Secret: What you focus on with your thought and feeling is what you attract into your experience.
Obama: "The truth is, you can have the right kind of experience and the wrong kind of experience."—Des Moines, Iowa, December 27, 2007

The Secret: Thought = creation. If these thoughts are attached to powerful emotions (good or bad) that speeds the creation.
Obama: "Making your mark on the world is hard. If it were easy, everybody would do it. But it's not. It takes patience, it takes commitment, and it comes with plenty of failure along the way. The real test is not whether you avoid this failure, because you won't. It's whether you let it harden or shame you into inaction, or whether you learn from it; whether you choose to persevere."—speech, July 12, 2006

The Secret: You don't need to know HOW the universe is going to rearrange itself.
Obama: "What's stopped us from meeting these challenges is not the absence of sound policies and sensible plans. What's stopped us is the failure of leadership, the smallness of our politics ..."—announcing his candidacy in Springfield, Illinois, on February 10, 2007

The Secret: Feel exhilarated by the whole process ... high, happy, in tune.
Obama: "So I ask you to walk with me, and march with me, and join your voice with mine, and together we will sing the song that tears down the walls that divide us, and lift up an America that is truly indivisible, with liberty, and justice, for all. May God bless the memory of the great pastor of this church, and may God bless the United States of America."—speaking in Atlanta, Georgia, on January 20, 2008

Comments

I think The Secret is written in code, like scientology but less obvious, and if you find out how to understand it, it gives you REAL secrets that lead to $30 million, the ability to inspire millions of people, and cashmere pajamas. Obama is on his way to mastery, although Oprah is holding out the FINAL Secret until he proves he can beat Hillary with his mind: where to get the best pizza in the country.

Posted by: pussytheresa on February 7, 2008 11:49 AM

You get the best pizza in the country in CHICAGO! More to be more specific - Chicagoland. Bacino's - Chicago, Quionset Hut - Waukegan

Obama IS The Secret. He's putting out his vibrations and it's working. Shizaam!

I have done a tremendous amount of research on this man, and one of the most amazing things I found was his remarks in his books, "Dreams Of My Father", and "The Audacity of Hope" which I checked out from the library.
His admiration for Islam and the disdain for the white race was disturbing. It is all there and it can't be taken out of context. Yet, nobody has/will call him on it.

This stranger came out of nowhere with his flowery speeches that his handlers have given him, promising America great things- without specifying how -and droves hang on every word, believe every word and follow without question. If anyone dares to question, they are shouted down with 'Racist'! Bigot'!
This is very very frightening.
It's time to get the message out to a naive public who are jumping on the "black JFK", "camelot","change", "take back America" bandwagon, without questioning who this man is, questioning his past, his present associates and backers and his agenda.

The remarks from his books are very, very disturbing. Again, the remarks are there- and they are NOT taken out of context.

Example:

Quote from Barack Obama's book, Dreams Of My Father:
"The person who made me proudest of all, though, was [half brother] Roy .. He converted to Islam."

From 'Dreams of my Father', "In Indonesia, I had spent two years at a Muslim school"
"I studied the Koran.."

From 'Audacity of Hope: "Lolo (Obama's step father) followed a brand of Islam ...."I looked to Lolo for guidance".

From 'The Audacity Of Hope, "I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction."

From The Audacity Of Hope, "We are no longer just a Christian nation," "We are also a Jewish nation, a Muslim nation, a Buddhist nation, a Hindu nation, and a nation of nonbelievers."

From Dreams of My Father, " I FOUND A SOLACE IN NURSING A PERVASIVE SENSE OF GRIEVANCE AND ANIMOSITY AGAINST MY MOTHER'S RACE".

From 'Dreams of my Father', "The emotion between the races could never be pure..... the other race would always remain just that: menacing, alien, and apart."

From 'Dreams of My Father',
"I ceased to advertise my mother's race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites"

From Dreams Of My Father, "never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, son of Africa, that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself..".

From Dreams Of My Father:
"That hate hadn't gone away," he wrote, blaming "white people -- some cruel, some ignorant, sometimes a single face, sometimes just a faceless image of a system claiming power over our lives."

From Dreams Of My Father;
"There were enough of us on campus to constitute a tribe, and when it came to hanging out many of us chose to function like a tribe, staying close together, traveling in packs," he wrote. "It remained necessary to prove which side you were on,to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names"

From Dreams Of My Father, "I had grown accustomed, everywhere, to suspicions between the races."

.

.

.
Just how clear does Obama have to make his disdain for the white race and his admiration for Islam?? Imagine if Hillary or Romney had said:
.

.
" I FOUND A SOLACE IN NURSING A PERVASIVE SENSE OF GRIEVANCE AND ANIMOSITY AGAINST THE BLACK RACE".

"The emotion between the races could never be pure..... the BLACK race would always remain just that: menacing, alien, and apart."

"never emulate BLACK men whose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the WHITE MAN,- SON OF AMERICA,-that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself..".

IF A WHITE CANDIDATE HAD THOSE REMARKS OUT IN PRINT, THEY WOULD BE CRUCIFIED.

I went to YouTube to look up his speeches to La Raza (Mexican militant support group for illegal aliens) and heard for myself his pandering of the illegals. Go to YouTube and listen to his speeches. Type in Barack Obama, La Raza, illegal aliens and hear him yourself)

Statistics on illegal aliens:
The Heritage Foundation ^ | 10/25/06 | Robert Rector
The National Academy of Sciences has estimated that each immigrant without a high school degree will cost U.S. taxpayers, on average, $89,000 over the course of his or her lifetime.[3] This is a net cost above the value of any taxes the immi*grant will pay and does not include the cost of educating the immigrant's children, which U.S. taxpayers would also heavily subsidize. In this way, the roughly six million legal immigrants without a high school diploma will impose a net cost of around a half-trillion dollars on U.S. taxpayers over their lifetimes

Crime Statisitcs
95% of warrants for murder in Los Angeles are for illegal aliens.
83% of warrants for murder in Phoenix are for illegal aliens.
86% of warrants for murder in Albuquerque are for illegal aliens.
75% of those on the most wanted list in Los Angeles, Phoenix and Albuquerque are illegal aliens.
24.9% of all inmates in California detention centers are Mexican nationals here illegally.
40.1% of all inmates in Arizona detention centers are Mexican nationals here illegally.
48.2% of all inmates in New Mexico detention centers are Mexican nationals here illegally.
29% (630,000) convicted illegal alien felons fill our state and federal prisons at a cost of $1.6 billion annually.
53% plus of all investigated burglaries reported in California, New Mexico, Nevada, Arizona and Texas are perpetrated by illegal aliens.
50% plus of all gang members in Los Angeles are illegal aliens from south of the border.
71% plus of all apprehended cars stolen in 2005 in Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, Nevada and California were stolen by Illegal aliens or "transport coyotes".
47% of cited/stopped drivers in California have no license, no insurance and no registration for the vehicle. Of that 47%, 92% are illegal aliens.
63% of cited/stopped drivers in Arizona have no license, no insurance and no registration for the vehicle. Of that 63%, 97% are illegal aliens.
66% of cited/stopped drivers in New Mexico have no license, no insurance and no registration for the vehicle. Of that 66%, 98% are illegal.
Birth Statistics
380,000 plus "anchor babies" were born in the U.S. in 2005 to illegal alien parents, making 380,000 babies automatically U.S.citizens.
97.2% of all costs incurred from those births were paid by the American taxpayers.
66% plus of all births in California are to illegal alien Mexicans on Medi-Cal whose births were paid for by taxpayers.
Last Updated ( Friday, 20 July 2007 )

Considering the horrific illegal alien problem in this country- that costs us BILLIONS and brings in more violent crime, for Obama to be pandering to the illegal aliens is SHAMEFUL!
.
.
.
Obama's speech to La Raza:

(La Raza (The Race), Largest Hispanic organization in the U.S.
Lobbies for racial preferences, bilingual education, stricter hate crimes laws, mass immigration, and amnesty for illegal aliens )

Obama said the recent Senate immigration debate "was both ugly and racist in a way we haven't see since the struggle for civil rights."

Obama told La Raza that the mass protests lately of for immigration rights of Mexicans is equal in greatness to the civil rights protest of the past!

Omama supports La Raza's, the "DREAM Act," which would mandate states to offer in-state tuition rates to illegal aliens -- thus providing them with benefits not available to U.S. citizens from other states, as well as amnesty and other atrocities. Obama urged Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger to sign the Dream Act, a bill that would make illegal immigrant students who graduate from high school eligible for college aid. (Schwarzenegger vetoed a similar measure last year.)

Then there is his stance on partial birth abortion. Any Christian in good conscience could not vote for Obama! This issue alone should cancel him out. Shameful!

http://www.cnsnews.com/ViewCommentary.asp?Page=/Commentary/archive/200801/COM20080109b.html

He is so pro-abortion that he refused as an Illinois state senator to support legislation to protect babies who survived late-term abortions. In a cold blooded speech, he refused to concede that these babies were "persons'- even though they were fully outside their mother's wombs with their hearts beating and their lungs heaving. On the Illinois Senate floor, Obama was the only senator to speak against the baby-protecting bills. He voted "present" on each, effectively the same as a "no."
.
.In the event anyone is not familiar with partial birth abortion; the baby is positioned into the breech position, he is pulled out by his legs half way and a hole in punched into his skull. His brains are sucked out by an instrument while his heart beats and his lungs heave. Obama has voted numerous times against a bill to ban this heinous practice.

Obama's ties to 'slumlord' Tony Rezko

Obama's ties to Palestinians and Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan:

2007/03/obamas_pastor_admits_concerns.php
.
Here we have a man who was BORN INTO ISLAM, expresses his admiration for Islam and vows to stand with the Muslims in his books, a man whose biggest backers are American Muslim activists! Investigate just who this man is, who his backers are.

Are you aware that one of his biggest backers, Tony Rekzo is being brought to trial Feb 25 on federal corruption charges- and that Obama is
linked?
http://www.suntimes.com/news/politics/obama/749138,obama20web.article


Are you aware Raila Odinga, a Muslim radical involved in the disputed Kenya election is Obama's cousin and that he has kept in close contact with him and supported him? Are you aware that in August 2006, Mr. Obama visited Kenya and spoke in support of Mr. Odinga's candidacy at rallies in Nairobi?


Mr. Odinga has an electoral pact with the National Muslim Leaders' Forum -- a hardline Islamist organization that represents Kenya's Muslim minority. According to this document, dated August 29, 2007, Mr. Odinga promised the Muslim leaders that, if elected, he would establish Sharia courts, not only in the northern and coastal regions where Kenyan Muslims are concentrated, but throughout the country.
He also promised to impose Muslim dress codes on women, ban alcohol and pork, indoctrinate children, ban Christian preaching.
Odinga is reported to be behind such atrocities as the burning of a Christian church with 50 people inside.

Does this not raise some red flags? Islamic leaders have warned us point blank that they will infiltrate America, infiltrate the government- and destroy us using our own laws and our democracy to destroy us! Come on, people. Wake up, for God's sake!!
.
Obama's voting record. Sen. Barack Obama has missed the most votes of any Democratic presidential hopeful in the Senate over the last two months, including a vote on an Iran resolution he has blasted Sen. Hillary Clinton for supporting.

The Illinois Democrat has missed nearly 80 percent of all votes since September.

Obama routinely avoids voting on any issue that is not helpful to Muslim goals.

For example, Obama missed a vote on a resolution that declared the Iranian Revolutionary Guard, an elite part of the Iranian military, a terrorist organization.
http://projects.washingtonpost.com/c...o000167/votes/


.

Obama is currently displayed as banner boy on the Project Islamic Hope site. Some of the founders of this organization have been indicted for terrorist support.
http://islamichope.org/


That's just a few of the things I've learned about this man! Very very frightening!!

I have been attacked for "swift-boarding", racism, bigotry and lying. This is untrue. I am just an American teacher who loves American and our American way of life.
I hold nothing against a man for the color of his skin. I have stood up for the black race and defended whenever I saw an injustice. I have worked for civil rights for blacks and all minorities.
This has nothing to do with racism, but everything to do with a man born into Islam and who defends it still. A man whose biggest backers are American Muslim activists.
When the facts are out there for investigation, there are no "lies" here.
All I ask is for the public to investigate for themselves. Don't take my word for it. But I WILL NOT stand by while this mans seeks to ride himself all the way into the White House on the insane PC and White Guilt in this country!!
