Questions definitely should be raised "given Obama's huge appeal overseas" whether all $31-million recently raised came from American citizens. Particularly in view of the recent revelation that the face of Marxist Che Guevara superimposed over a Cuban Flag was prominently displayed in Obama's Houston Headquarters. Of course, the Obama campaign states that this is an "unofficial campaign office" organized by a volunteer. Hogwash! This "unofficial volunteer" has been identified as Maria Isabel, a Cuban-American and she is a member of the Houston Obama Leadership Team and a Precinct Captain and actively involved in a number of other "volunteer groups". It appears from her Flickr Photo Sharing site that she attended a meeting in Chicago on September 14, 2007 called "Camp Obama" and there is also a picture of this "unoffical volunteer" with Senator Obama taken at a "small gathering at Tony's" and pictures of a Harris County Democratic Office Party on November 17, 2007.

Maria Isabel has more involvement with the Obama campaign other than as an insufficient "grassroots volunteer". Makes one wonder just what "change for America" some Obama supporters have in mind for the American people. But of course, we know this will be passed over by the media as just "one individual" that used "poor judgement" and her personal views do not reflect those of Senator Obama.

I for one would like to know more about the "Change We Can Believe In" . . . . It is time for Senator Obama to be asked some tough questions and give some straight answers! However, I am only one voter who does not believe in the liberation theologies that people solve their problems through a political process called absolute social justice. There is another name for that form of government!
