McCaskill: Obama the First Black Leader to ‘Come to the American People Not As a Victim But Rather As a Leader’

My point of contention is where does she get off calling him a leader. Please this man is the worst kind of politican there is a Chicago politican

McCaskill proves her immense idiocy.

He is a leader, the question will be; Is American ready for a leader? Are they ready for a President who will not tell them what they want to her, but what they need to hear.
McCain + Clinton = Bush08
Obama + Sebelius = Future

Leader of what? Obama did not even try to lead his congregation to Unity or Healing. President’s term is only 8 yrs. He had 20 yrs in this church.

Leader of forward thinking, leader of inspiration, someone that understands the whole country, not just the top 1%. After 7.5 years of Bush a lot of people have forgotten what a true leader can do for a troubled country. Obama 2008!

She is another liar-remember her fib about the snub.

FOX NEWS: WASHINGTON — Hillary Rodham Clinton was home in the White House the day her husband had an infamous sexual encounter just outside the Oval Office with intern Monica Lewinsky, according to Sen. Clinton’s schedule, released Wednesday among 11,000 pages of papers from her years as first lady.

She wants to become the Defense Secretary of Africa.

You’re right, Jay. This is the same McCaskill who was all over the media, bragging (inexplicably) about her teenage daughter yelling at her, calling her a slug and saying she was ashamed of her unless she supported Obama. How pathetic.

Obama this morning described this grandmother in a interview as a “typical white person” can anyone explain to me what a typical white person is???

The higher the pedestal he keeps getting placed on, the farther this politial puppet is going to fall.

Let’s not misrepresent what the good Senator has said.
What the Sen. Claire McCaskill is intimating is that a person like Senator Obama is representing a generation that would not have been victimized by America’s segregation history in the way that Mr Right’s generation was victimized by racism.
As a result, Senator Obama does not and is unlikely to share some of the mindset of Mr Right.
And there is everything in Senator Obama’s life showing that he neither speaks nor live some of the sentiments of Mr Right.
It is obvious that the present generation is always going to be a bit more sophisticated and broadminded than the previous ones with respect with social issues. That is part of societal growth.
We need to educate ourselves beyond the narrow sound bite mentality. Otherwise the solutions of the nation’s large and pressing issues will continue to elude us until we are at the bottom of the abyss, which we have been entering since the Bush-whacking of America!

Obama is a pretender not a contender.

I want to see Senator Obama’s state senate records, as well as his schedules, to see what he was doing back in Illinois.
I want to see if he was home just like Hillary, or what countries he traveled to, since he is this great leader that should not be a problem let his record speak for him.

Some of you need to grow up. What Rev. Wright said was wrong. I’m sure most of you have done things/said things that others disagreed with but your relationship wasn’t terminated. You as a person out weighted what you did or said. If not then you’re living under a rock!

Since the media out of 11,000 pages can find that Hillary was home when Bill was fooling around and make this the focal point of these papers, I hope they will be just as demanding in asking Obama for his schedules and calender now.
Among those Hillary papers were dates, and countries that she visited and who she met but the media has no time to show this, so since we are going to ignore that its time Obama step up to the plate and show us what he has done.

Belle,
Nobody really cares whether you agree with Senator Obama or not. Or whether you are a racist or not. We’re trying to pay our doctor bills, buy gas, and not get sent to Iraq.

Maryann, calling me names will hopefully vent your anger. Mr. Graham has never said anything close to what Pastor Wright has said in his disguised career. So, I will stay on my hypocritical high horse for now thanks….
My horse name is Obama’s Toast…lol

So maryann,
Not that HIS tapes have come out, is Rev. Wright going to apologize to America for his racism – the way YOU just said Rev. Graham did?

When Hillary Clinton keeps insisting she’s more electable, is that a coded message, that’s she more “acceptable to Whites?”

He comes not as a victim obviously because he is NOT a descendent of slaves. All the other famous black Americans you listed were descendents of slave. He is a break from history quite literally. He will be a breath of fresh air that I, for one, cannot wait to breathe. I’m suffocating now.

You probably didn’t think of them as I have to remember-why–they are black.
Senator Inoui (sorry for misspelling his name as to me he is one of America’s heros), unless only blacks should be considered.
The point is some are emotionaly hanging their hat (so to speak) on a man. Hey–I have been dissapointed by mulitple races, religions, & genders & hope Senator Obama is not placed on a pedestal to high for any man.
The reality is he has made some poor judgements, such as not having his name on the Mich. ballot, not standing up to the DNP for States’ Rights over PARTY “rules”, trying to justify his 20 yr. submissive relationship with someone that preaches paranoid racial hate messages. If he makes these mistakes, then how will he fare with the N. Korea, Russia, China, terriorist, etc.?
Why have the national political parties been allowed to filter which candidates are available for the majority of citizens to choose from? A few small states vote early (Obama might not have been the one picked to move thru the filter to the large States), but the media saw a chance for a lot more money.
Obama, Clinton, etc. they say what they feel will get them elected so where is the CHANGE?
Respectfully,

Bad remark. I support Obama but this should be filed under “things not to say” LOL

As a Missourian I can assure you that Claire McCaskill is all about votes. She doesn’t give a damn about the people. When she was Jackson County prosecutor she left many people floundering for justice. Her endorsement to many in Missouri is a death knell for Obama’s campaign.

Judging from all of your comments, racism is still very much alive. I am so happy Senator Obama said what he said. He is right, it is time for healing of all races so that we can move on.

What a shame!!
McCaskill’s comments shed light into her thought processes regarding Black people in this country. I’m disappointed in her!!
She has usually presented herself as a devout supporter of Obama’s campaign but this comment indicates that her support is tantamount to conditional bigotry.

Neither Obama is a victim nor a leader. He is unfit to be a candidate for Demorat. Period.

Anyone ever notice that Obama supporters talk more about his positives and Hillary supporters focus less on Hillary’s positives and more on the perceived negatives of Obama? I think, in light of the fact that Hillary is losing, and due to recent knowledge that she lied about her stance on NAFTA and inflated her supposed foreign-policy experience, there isn’t much left to say about her that’s positive. Meanwhile, Obama, who is looking more presidential every day, is making serious speeches about race, foreign policy and the economy—and becoming the frontrunner-as-target for the disaffected (Clinton supporters). Just an observation.

Yeah. I heard the grandma get described by Obama today as a “typical white person”.
Must be the start of his national discussion on race.
Poor grandma got thrown under the bus by Obama. At least with dumb Claire and Obama’s own words today they have succeeded in ripping out the engine on the bus while it is still in freefall over the cliff.
Obama be’s smart.

It is really heartbreaking reading these blogs. To me it seems we have a very large problem with Racism in American and these blogs show it. We need to wake up people. Regardless of what, he is leading in the delegates and the way America see’s it, if Hillary is the nominee, there will be just as many people, not voting, voting for McCain or voting independent as such if Obama is the nominee. The is the end of the Democratic party. Can’t you see. The republicans have so much dirt on the Clinton’s that they want her to be the nominee, she will not win the general election. Wake up and look within yourselves. Those of you OBAMA hater’s regardless of what, weren’t going to vote for him anyway.
HE WILL BE OUR NOMINEE, YES WE CAN!!!

Sen. Obama should be careful about demanding release of records. He voted Present over 130 times in the Illinois State Senate. He did this to avoid voting on controversial bills inorder to protect his run for the U.S. Senate.
He has done the same thing for 3 years in the U.S. Senate.

I come from a Democrat family and have always voted for a Democrat, but if Obama is nominated, then 15 of my family members from Missouri to Virginia have agreed to vote for McCain. The decision was not based solely on his association with his minister, but his accomplishments. Everyone says that he speaks with inspiration. Do I have to remind you that Benjamin Franklin once said ” that success is equal to 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration” This statement was true during our fore fathers time and still holds true today. I challenge any Democrat to check the government website and compare Hillary’s and Obama’s accomplishments during the same time frame. It helped me and the wife make our decision.

Stan, from the Obama camp. We wish you and your family well. Enjoy your ride with McCain because almost the entire African American community is refusing to vote for Hillary if she gets the nomination. Looks like we will all be voting for McCain one way or the other.

If Obama is such a leader then why did he sit passively in the pew and listen to Wright spew bigoted and unpatriotic invective for 20 years. If Obama were a leader, he would have tried to lead Wright to a better message long ago, and if that didn’t work, he would have left. Instead, Obama waited until there was a media firestorm to brand Wright’s remarks “appalling.” That’s not leadership, that is cowardice and opportunism.
I’m not going to respond to the other portion of McGaskill’s remarks about other black leaders being victims instead of leaders. I cannot fathom what she was trying to say.

People, please hear this…if you aren’t voting for Sen. Obama let your vote speak for you. The rest of us have other things to worry about other than your being duped into believing he’s a racist as the Clinton camp has brainwashed you to believe.

Wow- Obama’s “typical white granny” story, Kerry and McCaskill- all in one day. Did Axlerod go on vacation?
Hillary 2008

It’s clear that Ms.McCaskill meant “national political leader.” Jesus, you people are trying to contrive dirt out of everything. How sad. How sad for this nation. “Gotcha!”

And let’s not forget Shirley Chisholm… the first African-American presidential candidate winning 152 delegates… Don’t tell me that she was a victim!
McKaskill READ YOUR HISTORY and your HERSTORY!

Hopemonger08: Just trying to imagine being in Trinity as you want us to do is making me so queasy!! It is something unimaginable. Truly sad that people get something out of shouting evil racist comments like that. I cannot see myself as a member of that church and I know that there are several african americans who cringe also. This is an aberration and not the norm. There may be a group of African americans who believe in this sort of worship just as there are people who follow Falwell and Haggee. These types are more of an exception than the rule. Most people would not have sat through this. Yet Obama decided to be part of the exception and wants to bring this change to America??? Was this the change he was talking about?? I am truly concerned. I like the America that we have now. I like seeing people who accept all peoples, I like seeing a blended congregation where everyone is accepted. This is why mojority of the Americans supported the Iraq war in the early stages — because we were helping people in another land and saving them from a dictator. We wanted the Iraqis to have a better life. This is a growing trend in America but the Wrights and the Falwells will be divisive by preaching hate. We cannot allow that in America and hence it is important for the moderates to speak up.

Here is that tired argument again that if you cant see past Obama’s lack of experience, poor judgment (see Rezko/Wright), disingenuousness (see NAFTA)– you are racist.
As a racial minority, I will not vote for another racial minority, just because of the color of his skin… what’s you’re reason?

Again… please remember Shirley Chisholm, the first African-American presidential candidate winning 152 delegates. She was just plain WRONG! Don’t defend that.

Just because it’s no longer Black History month, our politicians seem to forget the momentous history that has brought us this far. For them Obama is the dawn of a new day… but it took men and women of great courage and conviction, both black and white, male and female, to come to this point.
Sen. Claire McCaskill, needs to publicly apologize to those people who she summarily dismisses as the victims IN history who she says do not count! Frederick Douglas, Martin Luther King, Jr. Thurgood Marshall, Condoleezza Rice, Shirley Chisholm, Sojourner Truth, Rosa Parks, Maya Angelou, Jackie Robinson, Collin Powel… the list is endless! All of them were/are political… and all of them national in scope.
This is sheer obscenity to say all before Obama were victims!

Guess what, its Women’s History Month, I am not exactly hearing anyone talking about the repression of women through the centuries!

Her point is that Obama is part of a generation of African-Americans who are less connected to past victimization. It’s a valid point, and a sign of healing, a sign of the times, a sign of progress. Like Jackie Robinson, Obama is widening the frontier. I thought it was interesting that Mike Huckabee defended not only Obama but Pastor Wright. Huckabee knows about the segregated South and didn’t judge a fellow minister who still has some serious bitterness about those days. Essentially Huck’s point was, imagine a world in which white Americans were enslaved, had to sit on the back of the bus, were intimidated and controlled by a majority of say, Asians…our white response might be even more bitter. Cut the minister some slack Huckabee humbly says, wise words from someone who may have been a wee too bit wise for his own Party. -JL

” There’s a core decency to the American
people that doesn’t get enough
attention.” Barack Obama
” He is a voice of strength and moderation,
an American success story.” John McCain speaking about Obama.

Let’s face it. Colin Powell, Condi Rice and Clarence Thomas run circles around this phoney. This guy is definitely a blank canvas, a.k.a. an empty suit!

How can McCaskill even say he is a black leader? What has he done to bring any African American agenda forward?
He came to the presidential race as a leader who happens to be half white and half black. He wasn’t electable because he was black. He was electable because he was knowledgeable. The black part was a hidden (sarcastic) bonus.
Now he is the THE only half black non victim. Maybe we, the people, are mature enough to get into the details of race. Maybe not. I am very interested to see whether we can discuss any of this without sinking down to epithets and slurs.

Your’re kidding me, right. Obama’s been playing the victim the whole time or having others do it for him. “He was born a poor black boy to a white Mother whose Father left them when he was two..” Well you know what Obama? That sounds just like the story of many of our own citizens. Except I bet they don’t end up going to Harvard and their wife to Princeton and own a 1.7 million dollar house. All this and the wife has the nerve to stand in front of a crowd of people who make about $40,000 if they’re lucky, bitching about how she can’t afford dance lessons for their daughter. You can’t afford dance lessons on $480,000 a year, not to mention book royalties? If you can’t take care of your own then you certainly can’t handle our economy or the balancing our budget.

I love you Hillary,, Keep going girl!!! Girl power!! YAY!! You’re the true leader for America to me..Yep..you have my vote..I love you Hillary!

Elizabeth,
I too am so saddened by the hate that seems to be spewing and spilling forth on all the blogs. This 70 year old white woman weeps for our nation. I was so hoping that perhaps the electorate would choose the high road instead of the malevolent garbage that seems to predominate hear and else where.

This: “Let’s not misrepresent what the good Senator has said.
What the Sen. Claire McCaskill is intimating is that a person like Senator Obama is representing a generation that would not have been victimized by America’s segregation history in the way that Mr Right’s generation was victimized by racism.”
Then: “Let’s not misrepresent what the good Senator, Claire, has said.
Her point is that Obama is part of a generation of African-Americans who are less connected to past victimization. It’s a valid point, and a sign of healing, a sign of the times, a sign of progress. Like Jackie Robinson, Obama is widening the frontier.”
Re the above 2 quotes from this blog:
Man! I am so glad to have these very learned folks on here to “tell me” what McCaskill “intimated” and her “point”. Otherwise I might be fool enough to believe “what I heard” with my ears. Jesse and New Yorker thanks, you saved me from having the audacity to think I could understand on my own.
Jackie Robinson for certain would thank you. Otherwise, he would have possibly thought McCaskill left him out, like she did the myriad of other black “statesmen”, men and women, that she did denigrate and “leave out”.

“I think he shares the view of black liberation theology. I think his wife and his pastors also have the same views. To me, that is very scary and no amount of positive media bias for Obama is going to cover my eyes and keep me from seeing the truth.
If white people are smart, they shouldn’t vote for this guy.”
Let’s just assume it is true–then what exactly is scary? Be very careful with words like that, as it sounds you might be one of “those guys” who sees someone of darker skin and will clutch your wallet or have obvious signs of stress because of the “fear” that he or she will mug you or attack you? Give me a break with the unfounded “scary” lines. No one chooses to remember the myriad of white folk he’s worked with (Republicans just as much as his mentor Ted Kennedy), and now he’s condemned for words not even his own? Honestly, sir, I hope you have searched your soul and eradicated every prejudice you have, otherwise you’ll have aligned yourself with hypocrites.

Claire made me sick Ever since the State of the Union Address and her on Obama’s jet when Obama squirmed out of why he avoided shaking Hillary’s hand that night.
If anyone not associated with Obama had made this comment, they would be labeled racist. I knew Kerry would make some stupid comment during the campaign….he is good at that.

the hubris of obama never ceases to amaze. we are expected to have our attention diverted from his 20-year close relationship with, support of, and praise for the hate mongering wright because he made a speech about race relations. we are also expected to accept that we had no clue about these issues until mr-enormously-better-than-us explained them to us. finally, we are expected to accept that he is the one we should look to for salvation.
sorry, we remember that the speech was just damage control.
sorry, we already knew about race relations in this country. many of us lived it a lot more than obama did. many of us did a lot more about it than obama did (of course, he did nothing, so it doesn’t take much, but many of us did a lot). and most of us know that obama is not our salvation.
no redemption votes for you, obama.

Of course he isn’t a victim, and neither is Wright. Obama was raise in Hawaii from fifth grade on. “In a climate of mutual respect” as he wrote in his book, not as he would now have us believe with a racist Grandmother. He went to Harvard. His one book involved a 2 million dollar deal. He lives in a 1.6 million dollar house. His wife pulls in 300 thou a year. Wright went to college, quit after 2 years and joined USMC, then the Navy as a cardiopulmonary technician, then got out, went to college and earned five college degrees, has 8 honorary doctorates, has preached at that church the entire time, the last thirty six years as senior pastor. He has a very lavish home and I’m sure a bank account to match. Obama at one point donated 25,000 to the church in one year. I don’t even gross that in a year working about 55 hours per week. She’s exactly right, neither one of them knows what it is to be a victim. They have never been oppressed and repressed as Kerry said Obama was. How many jobs has either one of them been turned down for because they were black? How many times did they try to rent a place to live and was denied because of the color of their skin? I’m guessing NONE. There are so many more that have come before the both of them who have actually made a difference in this country. I daresay everyone of the 6000-8000 church members in that church live better than I do, and I guess I am supposed to be the white oppressor. The black people in this country seem to think that they hold the patent on being discriminated against in this country. Here in the South, the blacks practice their own racism against the whites and the Hispanics. The only difference is we don’t have any one to come hold rallys and protests for us. I guess we just have to take it.

Too bad we were all victims of McCaskill’s FISA (pro) Telecom immunity votes.

Why do you think that HIllary has any credentials. She does as shes told by Bill. Her respect in the middle east is laugable. She is a liar and a phoney, playing on the the blue collared workers, as if she knew what it would be like to be struggling…RIGHT…She is not a uniter. Listen to her vicious mouth. She is not tough. Tough is surviving in a world not protected by money and power. She does not know this first hand she has watched it for 35 years and has found a way to use for her own polical advantage. Thank you Claire.

I’m from Missouri… Claire is only worried about herself. She has placed her own political future in Obama’s hands and she’s worried. In the unlikely event that Obama is elected, Claire will likely find a nice job in his administration. that’s what she has always been all about

Rev. Wright spoke relative of memories and experiences of black americans. It should not be buried; it should be remembered. Our children, the world, should be aware of the pain, scars and, struggle just as victims of the american indians, japanese americans and especially, jewish americans remind the world and, hold present day americans accountable for theirs. Those who disagree should search their racists views. How closed minded to say Obama was wrong to admit his grandmother had racist views, he shared a painful truth about his family. Are you suggesting it should have been kept secret, as many racist comments among families are? To avoid confronting the racism allows it to fulminate. Obama wants a solution for all Americans. To suggest or demand that Obama deny and denounce Rev. Wright because of his comments is poor judgement. WHY hasn’t anyone demanded or suggest that Hillary deny and denounce Bill?? Is that a double standard?? Is that because she is white, female or what??

Pay attention to the “blame” Obama places on mostly Clinton to keep the spotlight off himself….he avoids accountability every step of the way……..ever try to put na eel into a soda bottle???????
Obama and endorsers are condoning the most vile of hate speech directed at our Country. Were it an Imam spewing forth such hate in a Mosque? We know there would be grave consequences.
No wonder Obama was absent on July 26, 2007 when the Recommendations of the 9/11 Commission were voted on….he, being a member of the Homeland Security Committee of the Senate???? It passed and was signed by the President in spite of him. Keep our country safe from internal Hate as well as external? HARDLY.

ARE WE MORE THAN THE COLOR OF OUR SKIN?

IS THE WHOLE GREATER THAN THE SUM OF IT’S PARTS?
In a perverse way Geraldine Ferraro was right–Obama wouldn’t be where he is if he wasn’t black. Ironically, however, he really isn’t black! The reality is Obama has black skin but did not know what is was like to be a Black American. He grew up in Hawaii and Indonesia. He attended a prestigious preparatory high school and attended a predominantly white college.
Obama’s father was Kenyan, privileged, a Muslim with black skin and most significantly–absent. His stepfather was Indonesian, privileged and a Muslim with brown skin. His Mother was a Kansan, privileged, and a Atheist with white skin. His controversial mentor is American, unapologetically Christian, a Marine Veteran, and unashamedly black. Other than his wife Michelle, the Rev Wright is the only real tie that Obama has to Black America. It’s a double edged sword, but Obama needs Rev. Wright to retain the Black (and Christian) vote. With political aspirations in mind, he intentionally joined a Black Christian church to assimilate into Black American culture. Despite Rev. Wright’s harsh rhetoric, Obama stayed with the church for 20 years as he studied Black America and worked on his metamorphosis.
By focusing on black vote, Obama is guilty of being racist. With his unique background he could equally embrace all racial groups. Obama should redefine himself as a citizen of the world, multicultural and all inclusive.

CNN reports today–”Among Pennsylvania Democratic primary voters, Clinton’s lead over Obama more than doubled from last month, according to polls.
Obama’s association with Wright appeared to be hurting him as of last weekend.”
Now that Rev. Wright and Mr. Rezko sitting on his back, it going to all downhill for Sen. Obama from now on, although the Washington media is looking the other way, unfortunatly this may be too late to save the Democrats in 08, who have a reputation for bungling their presidental runs. If they do not have re-do primaries in Michigan and in Florida and let Sen. Obama be their nominee for the presidential run, Republicns are going make Rev. Wright Sen. Obama’s running mate. That will be end of story for Democrats! It’s only Hillary Clinton who can save the democrats from OBAMA-WRIGHT team!

I don’t think anyone could explain it as well as Obama , this is the America we live in right at this moment..anger, separation,confusion..fear, frustration. We need an honest voice of truth..Obama is the only one (running for office) not afraid to speak truth..bruises & all. I know that when I vote for president I need someone with a voice to inspire the nation, to help change the attitude of the American people who actually don’t believe that we are one nation under God..The people who would never want to be “one” with anyone else. People who couldn’t unite with even their next door neighbor if he happened to be a different color than himself or a different political party or anyone he just didn’t like,for that matter. We need someone to change that mentality. If you truly listen to what he says..you realize that he is speaking from truth… He understands why people feel this separation..how they arrived at their perception..he is never speaking from only a ‘black “point of view or a “white” point of view..he speaks from a human one..as an observer..open minded, with compassion,without judgement..ready to help talk it out..ready for the blows that may come, steady until it is resolved & until there is change…..isn’t that what we intrinsically need? That’s what we need as children.. isn’t that what we need as a nation.. Isn’t that the man he is? All I know is that I want somebody with that kind of statue to lead the country for my children & make a difference. As for Hillary camp’s latest desparate move to undermine Obama’s integrity & drive a wedge between races….would you ever want to be held liable for someone elses words.. especially when they were venting frustration? Anyone who would let this deter them from voting ,never believed in him anyway so …………..TIME FOR CHANGE ..YES WE CAN , OBAMA is a LIGHT in this DARKNESS that we’re facing ….Let him SHINE!!

I really was for Obama. I have now changed my vote. Wright controversy was about Character, integrity, judgement. Courage of convictions. I do not need a guy whos church gave Farakhan a lifetime achievement award, give me a race lecture.
Melanie u made a very good point.

Who’s the real leader of disception? Hillary has been throwing mud at Obama since New Hampshire. She flat out lied to the people of Ohio about Nafta? This to me is the most serious lie in this nomination. The media needs to start pressing Hillary for the truth. The only person benifitting from this smear campaign are the republicans. They are using the slander to their advantage. Split the Dems in half and they actually might win this election. How the rest of the party hasn’t stepped up to stop this nonsense is unbelievable. Is Hillary trying to sabotage Obama’s campaign so she gets the nomination in 2012. Nothing would surprise me. BTW I’m a white Canadian just giving an outsiders perception

Barrack Hussien Obama is no leader!! If he was then he wouldn’t be avoiding Michigan and Florida. The only reason he didn’t visit those two states before was because there wasn’t any delegates at the time. Hillary Rodham Clinton went there why couldn’t he?
Hillary in -08-

Everyone,
I am personally sick and tired of this incessant ranting about ideology and the cults of personality. In our hearts we know who the best candidate is to intelligently lead our country. We know we need someone with dignity, family values, and a world view not tainted by shameful chumminess and cajoling.
It is about time we had a president who was interested in the whole country and not just a few segments which they not only are a part of but from which they benefit. And most importantly we need someone who will bring international credibility back to the white house and to our nation.
In all honesty. We KNOW who that is.
So stop the bickering and support our nation.

Obama is not a leader for leaders don’t have to cheat to win an election. Also, if Obama was a leader, he wouldn’t change is plans each day to say whatever it takes to win. Obama is the new type of leader that should scare EVERY AMERICAN.
The latest investigation influenced by 31 of Senator Barack Obama’s insiders (31 lawyers sent by Obama to Alaska), led to the results reported yesterday in Alaska to no surprise of anyone. Any man that defends his family like Todd Palin should be praised and not attacked as the Alaskan Democratic Party and Obama insiders with full support of the liberal media including most reporters within Fox News network. It hasn’t been that long since during the post-primaries, that Fox News started following all other news networks and reported mostly positive Pro-Obama news. At that point, Fox News mostly started their covert attacks against Senator John McCain and Governor Sarah Palin.
Any human that defends anyone including a dishonest policeman that tazers a 10 years old child and caught drinking while on the job should not be seen as anything but what that type of person is, a repulsive and in decent human. Gov. Palin now knows what happens to someone that is a true change maker. The liberal media attacks them for defending their family. But then what can any decent American expect from those that attacked a fellow Democrat such as Senator Hillary Clinton solely to support the Change Politician, Barack Obama. Now Obama is using a “fear strategy” to have voters support him. I never knew that my three decades in the military were solely to support one corrupt political Party referred to as the Democratic Party and Sen. Obama.
As for the new type of Washington Politician, the Senator from Illinois, Senator Barack Obama, why isn’t the FCC bringing charges against an unethical politician that broke the law by giving a biased organization ACORN $800,000 to commit voter fraud? But as expected, Both Ways Obama that as a politician that has never kept his long list of promises pertaining to tax cuts deliver his latest promise. Small businesses that make $250,000 will not be taxed. Surprise, Surprise, Surprise as Jim Nabors would say. This election will be the first election won before one vote was entered in a ballet box, by Senator Barack Obama. If the Democratic Party and Obama will go to the level they have gone to attacking the Palin’s, Americans soon will have their lives changed forever but in the worse way possible.

who the idiot choosing Obama or, where is your dignity. Dimitry Russian more greatness. Or Korea fast run their economic. Weak up man
