Obama's associates say a lot about him

The Tea Party Movement is made of true Americans who believe in the fundamentals of the Constitution. Obama does not. His life is riddled with this truth.

In his book "Dreams from my Father" Obama says he was raised with socialist ideas and views. He hung out with radicals in college and sought out Marxist professors to further his socialist ideas. He spent his entire adult life working with groups like ACORN, Apollo, SEIU and others. His pastor of 20 years was a white-hating spewist.

Obama is a communist. He says it this way., "to know me you only need to see who I surround myself with."

Van Jones _ now gone _ he was a self-avowed commie and said whites dump poisons on minorities.

Jeff Jones _ a terrorist who helped form the Weather Underground with Bill Ayres.

Mark Lloyd _ thinks Hugo Chavez is a smart leader and the United States should follow more of his policies.

Valerie Jarrett is a close friend and adviser of Obama's. She says that she and Obama have known Van Jones for years and that they were proud to have him on board at the White House. Jarrett and her husband, Cass Sustein, are both radical left and both are in the White House.

These are the people Obama surrounds himself with. There are many more not mentioned here.

This scares the hell out of me.

D. Miller's guidance changed my life

Scared. Alone. Nervous. These adjectives describe the feelings present when I began my freshman year at Hartwick College. I was born and raised in a major metropolitan city, the son of Pakistani immigrants. Needless to say, my first few weeks in Oneonta were a major culture shock. I kept myself occupied in studies and extra-curricular activities, but it was clear that something was missing. And not until President Dick Miller took me under his wing did that void disappear.

I first met Dick Miller during freshman orientation where he personally greeted each new student and welcomed us to Hartwick College. I was truly surprised a few weeks later when he not only remembered me by name and my background, but he invited me to his office to see how my experience had been thus far. From there our relationship blossomed into the great friendship that it is today. President Miller's wisdom, quiet strength, sense of humor and compassion made me feel at ease, making my transition into the Oneonta community painless.

I am now a third-year student at the University of San Francisco School of Law and I truly believe I would not be where I am today without Dick Miller's guidance and friendship. He encouraged me to pursue law school, guided me in my application process, and continues to motivate me even today. Thanks to Dick, scared, alone and nervous no longer exist in my vocabulary.
