I brought it up because Obama turned his back on a friend under pressure from the media. If he wants to attend a church for twenty years to listen to a raving madman that's his business.....more power to him.

It's an opinion piece, so I'm not sure what you mean by "honest". Do you think all the millions of other opinion pieces on Obama were being dishonest, or at least not completely forthright? Or did you just mean that out of all the Obama articles you've read, this is the one you most agree with? In that case, look up "honest" in the dictionary.

As to the article itself:

Here's a problem I have with Obama: at the end of the second debate he told how his family was on welfare when he was younger but he made it through Harvard. Well, guess where all that money came from? Rich people! Corporations put money into the welfare system, working people put money into the welfare system and you don't pay for a Harvard education without getting some pretty serious financial help from scholarships and endowments. And who funded those Harvard scholarships? RICH PEOPLE! And now his whole campaign is based on taking from the rich and giving to the poor. What a backstabbing ingrate.

Here's a problem I have with this article: Because of redistribution of wealth, somebody with the intelligence and intellect of Obama managed to study at Harvard, and he wants other people in the position he once was in to have the same opportunities. The author of this article thinks that's unfair, Obama should rather work towards benefiting the rich and making them wealthier, as a "thank you". If he doesn't do this, he's a "backstabbing ingrate", and a crook apparently too.

In my opinion, one has to be on a pretty loony fringe to be arguing that elected officials should work towards increasing the gap between rich and poor, and to post such an article and claim it's the most "honest" one one has read says a lot about you, imo.

And that's why Obama will win: because another round of Republican rule will mean disaster for your country. The people are simply fed up.
