Gov. Rendell: There’s 50% About Barack Obama We Don’t Know Yet

The logical thing IS to choose the candidate we know less about. Why? Because Hillary has already proven herself to be a bad choice. With Obama we at least have a chance.

Rendell’s gonna go all Rumsfeldian on us Now I see…… talking about the knowns knowns and the unknown unknowns and such sounds kinda familar to me.
But remember according to D.H. Rumsfeld the most scary thing in the world may be the Unknown Unknow, because you don’t know what you don’t know.
Unlike HRC, aka, GI Jane the Bosnian Adventure Hero, who has been fully vetted, there may be a scary unknown unknown about Mr. O.

Obama’s Global Tax
From The Conservative Voice
By Jim Kouri
The Global Poverty Act (S.2433) is expected to come up for a vote in the US Senate any time before the November presidential elections, according to conservatives who fear it is a giant step towards handing over US sovereignty to the United Nations and foreign governments.
This is the newest liberal-inspired plan to allow a United Nations style tax on American citizens, according to officials at the American Conservative Union
ACU officials say that this “sickening bill could potentially force the United States to spend as much as $845,000,000,000.00 on welfare to third-world countries.”
While the Senate record of Sen. Barack Obama may appear to be a bit lacking for a man seeking the presidency, he has taken a leadership position in pushing forward this unique piece of legislation. While the idea of eliminating global hunger and disease throughout the world would appear to be a good thing, critics of the Obama-sponsored senate bill say this legislation appears benevolent only on the surface.
“This is the same tax on Americans that the socialists and New World Order enthusiasts have been dreaming about all these years. Americans are a generous people and may believe their leaders want to help the impoverished, but it is an idea that in reality is just one step closer to One World Government,” claims political strategist Michael Baker.
“The socialists would like nothing better than to tax the people of the United States with the blessings of liberal-left American politicians and activists,” he said.
According to critics of S.2433, since no one wants to be on the record as not wanting to combat poverty, some politicians — without a doubt — will feel pressure from some of their less courageous colleagues to go along with a policy they believe is harmful to the American people. Plus members of the news media have shown themselves to embrace socialism and will help to let this horrendous Obama-sponsored bill passed, without alerting Americans about its ramifications.
“This is all part and parcel of the New World Order: Third-World countries taxing the American people,” said award-winning actor and political activist Michael Moriarty.
“These Maoists and Stalinists realized they could never bring people in other countries up to the standard of living we have in the United States. So, what do they do? They try to drag down the American people so that they are as poor and miserable as the impoverished in other countries,” accuses Moriarty.
“It is not humane to burden the American taxpayer with billions in additional foreign aid. It is more than unacceptable,” he added.
“How do liberals fight poverty? They make more people poor,” said a New Jersey school teacher who has been critical of this nation’s government schools.
“If history is to be our guide, American ‘foreign aid’ often winds up lining the pockets of Third-World tyrants and bureaucrats who hate America and do very little to help those who are truly in need,” she said. “Remember the United Nation’s Oil for Food scandal?”
The educator points to the United Nation’s Oil for Food criminals who made extraordinary amounts of money while the Iraqi people went hungry as an example of the failure of internationalists to help people.
“I’m always reminded that when politicians say they want to help you, the best thing you can do is run away from them as fast as you can. They’re not in the business of helping people — they’re in the business of grabbing as much power for themselves as possible,” said Baker.
Phyllis Schlafly recently said in a speech before the members of the ACU:
“Obama’s costly, dangerous and altogether bad bill (S. 2433), which could come up in the Senate any day, is called the Global Poverty Act. It would commit U.S. taxpayers to spend 0.7 percent of our Gross Domestic Product on foreign handouts…
“$845 BILLION is hardly a drop in the bucket and, yes, that’s in addition to our Foreign Aid programs, which, in 2006, cost American taxpayers almost $300 BILLION!”
“If the Democrat-controlled Congress passes this bill, the United States will have taken the first step toward the complete surrender of our national sovereignty,” Baker said.
In a statement released by the ACU, the officials at the conservative organization wrote:
“The American people will be watching and will not tolerate massive United Nations-style giveaways that are passed in the dark of night — or in broad daylight for that matter. S. 2433 is a stealth bill and a dagger aimed at the heart of America’s sovereignty.”

Thanks for calling him out on the tax returns, the documents, and the donors. I wish he would’ve given more specifics on this 50%… like what he supposes that 50% might consist of? He’s released his tax returns, he’s been vetted far more than Clinton this election cycle… where is the 50%? If we only know 50% of him… then we must only know 2% of Clinton.

Oh stop it. You’re scaring me.
Essentially Rendell is warning us to beware of what we don’t know, but he doesn’t know what we don’t know or even if there is anything to know. What a baffling argument.
And why is Clinto so afraid of the Republican machine? The Clinton campaign threw the kitchen sink at Obama and he is still winning. Do the Republicans have another sink to throw? I doubt it.

You fools who think the gopers will go light on obama in the fall are doomed to the continued defeat of your liberal candidates for prez (dukakis–think obama bowling and dukakis tank ride–mcgovern, mondale, etc.)
You have no clue what is coming with the 527s and wright and the rest of it. will be fun to watch.

Mike Denhof, you are a genious…elect someone you know less about; that way when all of the skeletons fall out of the closet nobody will react, right! Well, that sums it up; that’s what we all should do. lmao

Examples of the 50% that Governor Rendell refers to are evident and legion in the Obama autobiography, “Dreams of My Father.”
Here is just one of the more notable Obama views on life:
“Any distinction between good and bad whites held negligible meaning.”

The 50% we have found out about Obama was bad enough, and it will only get worse.

Good ol scare tactics. Clinton lied straight on our face. this hurt her much more than the Wright thing on Obama. Tax returns will sink her beleive me.

“Everytime I turn on the TV or take a browse through the news on the internet, Rendell is everywhere “selling” us on CLinton. Doesn’t he have a day job? If I lived in PA, I would start to question the amount of time my Governor of ALL the people is devoting to one cause.”
Gee, that’s profound. Are you spending equal time questioning all of the time three of our Senators devote to one cause: campaigning for the presidential nomination?

Cindy:
I was just at a conference this past week in which Sir Bob Geldoff noted that the United States gives far less in humanitarian aid to third world countries than most of the world’s nations. This is a real shame.
Anything that will serve to equalize — or better yet, to allow us to take a lead role — in turning things around in the third world in terms of famine, drought relief, HIV/AIDS and other problems should be welcome. Certainly not scorned.
But we are too often a selfish folk.
Obama 2008 — Yes, WE CAN!!!

GD AMERICA OBAMA 08
ROFL

Rendell was the DNC Chairman in 2000.
When Gore lost Florida in 2000, Rendell immediately said Gore should concede and not question the vote in Florida.
Rendell was widely called a traitor by Democrats.

What Obama should say about Wright
When asked why he won’t disassociate himself with Reverend Wright, Obama should answer with one simple statement that fits into most religious people’s mental frame:

“Reverend Wright bought me to God. For that, I will be eternally grateful to him and TUCC.”

I think that that answer would (or should) satisfy even the most right-wing talkshow hack (or even Chris Matthews). How could anyone of faith expect him to throw Wright under the bus when he showed him the way to salvation?

jimmy,
most americans are not religious nuts…they do not want the hate, period. obama is the candidate of quiet hate.

* how women voters have been offended by the media coverage of Clinton and how his wife — Judge Midge Rendell — has been personally touched by what she perceives to be unfair bias in the coverage of Clinton;
Please you mean Because they are not fawning all over her?
Or better yet when she opens her mouth they fact check what she utters? Bosnia duck run for cover?
When they respect hers and Bills wishes Chelsea is off limits?
get real hillary the world does not revolve around just you. Get over it.
Go whine somewhere else .
Ed she is going down .

Rendell’s right. Go to STOP-OBAMA . ORG and see for yourself. This guy has NOT BEEN thoroughly vetted.

I just love Ed Rendell. Can’t say I know much about his policies, but in this race, he has been a straight shooter…to the degree that one can be supporting their particular candidate.
As an Obama supporter, I think he will go all out for Obama in the general election. I wish my governor carried himself half as well as Rendell.
Unfortunately I live in Illinois << he says with a whisper.

Anyone who thinks that a Dem will lose this fall is insane.
Yes, Wright’s statements are inflamatory, but they’re Wright’s statements.
Now if they want to run out the 527 ads, so will we. Catholics – ever heard of Hagee? He damns your religion. McCain SOUGHT his support and said he was “honored and pleased” to have his support etc. Remember flip-flopper Kerry? McCain puts Kerry to shame on flipflopping; tax cuts, waterboarding, abortion rights, you name it, he’s changed his position.
To top it off, look at the Democratic turnout in the primaries, the fundraising, the fact that registered Dems outnumber registered Republicans by over 15%. Majorities of voters favor almost all of the Dems major positions. Gas is freakin $4 a gallon! A majority believes they are worse off now than they were 4 years ago. The capper: Iraq war. McCain’s avowed continuation of the war is politically untenable.

PHILLY IS GONNA GIVE OBAMA ALL HIS DELEGATES
OBAMA2008!!!!!!!!!!

Ed Rendell is a HACK!!!

I’ve also been offended by the media’s coverage of Senator Clinton’s campaign. The media has done its best to dehumanize her, and paint her as a cold calculating liar. The media has also attempted to paint her supporters as uneducated racists. Some outlets have even resorted to using inappropriate and offensive language. Obviously, this has been offensive to many women, especially her supporters.
Now, I consider myself a realist, and I know my candidate of choice is not perfect (no one is perfect), and that she would face negative attacks if she were to become the nominee. What stands in her favor, however, is she has been in the public eye for a long period of time, and although there may be things people don’t like about her, she isn’t as much of a question mark as Obama is. Additionally, she is exceptionally knowledgable about the challenges facing the next president, and can express herself confidently (not falling apart like Obama did at that short press conference a couple of days ago when he misrepresented McCain’s 100 years statement).
Obama, as polling continually shows, is viewed as inexperienced. And, he has a number of questionable ties that may blow up in the next few months (the Rezko trial will reveal the widespread level of corruption of the government of Illinois at all levels). When you add in a little Rev. Wright and Mr. Ayers, I would expect you could get some pretty hard hitting negative ads (there is a reason a number of Hillary’s supporters who have done their homework are saying they won’t vote for Obama).

Governor Rendell should be ashamed of himself, absolutely ashamed.
I’ll take even 90% of Obama’s “stuff” over 10% of Hillary’s any day.
Oregon’s Governor Ted Kulongowski should be ashamed also. Oregon is anticipated to go very strong for Obama on May 20, yet Kulongowski endorsed Hillary before the primaries even began, and is campaigning for her in Pennsylvania.

I just heard on cnn
That President Carters family is supporting Barack Obama . Then he said at the end of his statement I’ll let think which way ill be deciding.uhhh
I think with the statement Its pretty clear.

Rendell and Hillary …… actually, everyone around her, are pathetic. Gov. Strickland in Ohio looked like one of those bobbing heads in the back window of an old jalopy with his head bobbing up and down in agreement with Hillary. He loked stupid and clueless. Rendell is just plain objectionable. Why is it that everyone with anythng to do with the Clintons appear to be so needy and bothersome? Did someone say whiney? Oh yes!!!!! No ethics, no responsibility, no truth, and esprcially no pride. How can they stand themselves? Like I said before on another site, PA and Ohio are Archie Bunker states. Big but backward. Unfortunately I’m from Ohio. It’s a bunch of Eastern Europeans stuck -in- their- ways- bubbas. Did I say Racist? I should have. Hoping that Obama wins…big!

The teachers are supporting Clinton because Obama and Bush both used the NCLB to help fund religious schools at the expence of public schools.

There is a lot we don’t know about Hillary Clinton and Governor Rendell Google Paul vs Clinton. Rendell and the Clintons are both involved in a campaign financing scandal that has a gag order on it so the press can’t cover it. GOv Rendell also belongs to Scottish Rites free masons that don’t allow women in . The Clintons and their lackeys disgust me.

What the heck does foreign aid have to do with piece?
Hmmmm, nothing?
Bob Geldof DID criticize Australia’s foreign aid as “pathetic”. Can’t find anything about the US.
BTW, did you know the US pays 25% of ALL dues for the UN?
And when discussing foreign aid are we talking about dollar amounts or in comparison to GDP? Of course, if compared to the US GDP, the percentage will be small compared to other countries GDP. Why could that be? Because the US has one of the largest GDP’s in the world. DUH.
In total dollar amounts we are more generous that most nations. And to our own detriment.
Foreign aid doesn’t achieve squat. TRADE is the way to help developing countries.
Is anyone here aware of how agricultural subsidies to farmers in developed countries prevent farmers in developing countries from trading and improving their own circumstances?
YOU want to help? Take a good look in the mirror first and recognize that YOU are part of the problem.

Vetting candidates?
Choosing who is more electable based on erroneous criteria?
I thought Hillary wanted the people to vote.
Guess not. Guess she just wants them to listen to some fat head tell them who to vote for.
Hillary treats the electorate as if they are stupid.
Its not the media painting a bad picture of Hillary, she is doing that all by herself.
I do not want Hillary Clinton to go down in history as the first female president. The first female president will have integrity, intelligence, diplomacy and will win because she was the peoples choice.
That is not Hillary

I had a dream !!!!!!!!!!!!

Where are your tax returns, Hillary?
Where is the list of the Clinton library donors? Where are the phone logs you are continueing to withhold?
Where is the admission of guilt for lieing about being under sniper fire and disrespecting our military men and women in so doing?
Where is the admission that you were wrong to vote for the Iraq war?
Gov. Rendell should start asking himself these questions about the lying candidate he is supporting. But perhaps he just feels more comfortable supporting someone who never tells the truth.
Change doesn’t come easy but one thing is for sure, CHANGE does come….and it’s finally coming in 2008.

My question to the Obama supporters:
Why are you so upset if Obama has been fully vetted and has nothing to hide? Why all this rancor? Why not just coast to victory?
I do suspect many are young or just forget what the Republicans can do; what their 527′s can really do.
It won’t be pretty. Obama has surrounded himself (his whole life) with mentors that are essentially what most Americans perceive as un-American. In my lifetime I cannot recall a presidential candidate whose allegiance to this country could be questioned. Well, we now have such a candidate.
You think the Republicans are going to leave that alone? You must be drinking that Kool-Aid. There are so many things swirling on the internet about Obama, outside the MSM now, that will be outed in the GE. Hillary Clinton and camp have been far too generous with him, IMHO. If I tried to post them here, the post would quickly be deleted.

DON’T BE DUPED !!!
Large numbers of Republicans have been voting for Barack Obama in the DEMOCRATIC primaries, and caucuses from early on. Because they feel he would be a weaker opponent against John McCain. And because they feel that a Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama ticket would be unbeatable. And also because with a Clinton and Obama ticket you are almost 100% certain to get quality, affordable universal health care very soon.
But first, all of you have to make certain that Hillary Clinton takes the democratic nomination and then the Whitehouse. NOW! is the time. THIS! is the moment you have all been working, and waiting for. You can do this America. “Carpe diem” (harvest the day).
I think Hillary Clinton see’s a beautiful world of plenty for all. She is a woman, and a mother. And it’s time America. Do this for your-selves, and your children’s future. You will have to work together on this and be aggressive, relentless, and creative. Americans face an even worse catastrophe ahead than the one you are living through now.
You see, the medical and insurance industry mostly support the republicans with the money they ripped off from you. And they don’t want you to have quality, affordable universal health care. They want to be able to continue to rip you off, and kill you and your children by continuing to deny you life saving medical care that you have already paid for. So they can continue to make more immoral profits for them-selves.
Hillary Clinton has actually won by much larger margins than the vote totals showed. And lost by much smaller vote margins than the vote totals showed. Her delegate count is actually much higher than it shows. And higher than Obama’s. She also leads in the electoral college numbers that you must win to become President in the November national election. HILLARY CLINTON IS ALREADY THE TRUE DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE!
As much as 30% of Obama’s primary, and caucus votes are Republicans trying to choose the weakest democratic candidate for McCain to run against. These Republicans have been gaming the caucuses where it is easier to vote cheat. This is why Obama has not been able to win the BIG! states primaries. Even with Republican vote cheating help.
Hillary Clinton has been OUT MANNED! OUT GUNNED! and OUT SPENT! 4 and 5 to 1. Yet Obama has only been able to manage a very tenuous, and questionable tie with Hillary Clinton.
If Obama is the democratic nominee for the national election in November he will be slaughtered. Because the Republican vote cheating help will suddenly evaporate. All of this vote fraud and republican manipulation has made Obama falsely look like a much stronger candidate than he really is. YOUNG PEOPLE. DON’T BE DUPED! Think about it. You have the most to lose.
The democratic party needs to fix this outrage. I suggest a Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama ticket. Everyone needs to throw all your support to Hillary Clinton NOW! So you can end this outrage against YOU the voter, and against democracy.
I think Barack Obama has a once in a life time chance to make the ultimate historic gesture for unity, and change in America by accepting Hillary Clinton’s offer as running mate. Such an act now would for ever seal Barack Obama’s place at the top of the list of Americas all time great leaders, and unifiers for all of history.
The democratic party, and the super-delegates have a decision to make. Are the democrats, and the democratic party going to choose the DEMOCRATIC party nominee to fight for the American people. Or are the republicans going to choose the DEMOCRATIC party nominee through vote fraud, and gaming the DEMOCRATIC party primaries, and caucuses.
Fortunately the Clinton’s have been able to hold on against this fraudulent outrage with those repeated dramatic comebacks of Hillary Clinton’s. Only the Clinton’s are that resourceful, and strong. Hillary Clinton is your NOMINEE. They are the best I have ever seen.
“This is not a game” (Hillary Clinton)
Sincerely
jacksmith…

Hey thanks for the pod-cast, some of us do care about what is really going on. Look forward to anything you write…..have a good one.

What totally absolute useless blather from Rendell: “Oh, WE couldn’t, wouldn’t say bad things about Obama but, you know, those BAD GUYS, the Republicans could, would say bad things about Obama but, you know, we don’t know WHAT the bad things might be but, you know, there COULD be bad things that those bad guys MIGHT say….”
Clinton and her attack dogs have tried for over a year to prove that Obama is vulnerable to attack and he has shown over and over that he is not. He has more votes, more delegates, and more states won. And he is raising money at roughly 2X the rate of Clinton.
All these attacks are completely hollow.

Anybody who pays school taxes or has kids in public schools should reject Obamas support for the NCLB. Obama, Bush And Kennedy like th NCLB because they use it to fund religious and private schools with our tax money.

The lies told by Barack Obama are legion. To keep the post short, consider a couple or so for now:
A good place to start is with the Rezko lies. Obama said his association with Antoin “Tony” Rezko, who is currently facing federal charges of attempted extortion, money laundering, and fraud, wasn’t a close association.
That was proven to be a lie. Obama also lied about the amount of money he received from Tony Rezko. The amount was far more than what Obama previously admitted to.
Another Obama lie regards some harsh comments he made regarding NAFTA. As we later learned Obama’s campaign had secretly told Canada officials not to take the political positioning too seriously.
Barack Obama denied that his campaign spoke to the Canadian officials. Then, a memo was later circulated showing that Obama’s senior economic adviser, Austan Goolsbee, did indeed meet with the Canadians and told them not to pay attention to Obama’s rhetoric about NAFTA.
Just a few Obama lies of many.
More to come.

Desperation again her 20 point lead in PA is down 3 points.

what does legion mean?

Hillary “lies” while Obama merely “inflates”;
Hillary “shrills” while Obama merely “objects”;
Hillary “cackles” while Obama merely “charms”;
Geraldine Ferraro is a “racist” while Rev. Wright was merely taken “out of context.”
Do you get the drift?? MSM, such a wonderful job!! Bravo!! Not!!

It amazes me everyday you can still pick up a paper, watch any news station and there it is, Hillary’s “big lie”, dodging bullets in Bosnia!!!! Are you kidding me? “FISH TALE” at best. ON the other hand, Obama and Wright: Here you have a man (Obama) who has listened to Anti-American, racist (sermons?) for about 20yrs. from a man who he said is like his uncle. He admitted to hearing a few remarks that he didn’t like, but chose to ignore them. And, he said that he definately doesn’t share his views!!!!(remember, 20yrs and Wright’s words never had an influence?) So, here’s my gut feeling on which of these lies would be more detrimental to America: Hillary may write a “fictional” autobiography someday, I can live with that. “IF” Obama does share Rev. Wright’s views about this country and it’s people, i’m more concerned about waking up someday finding instead of “In God We Trust” on our money, it will be “GD America”!! I’d say that’s quite a difference in the “lies”.

Legion means countless or many.

Then, I guess the American people can turn to Govenor Rendell for the full coverage of the 50% that we don’t know about Obama – th 50% that the Govenenor apparently knows. Govenor Rendell should quit his day job and make some serious $ as a clairvoiant.

Obama Lies:
1)”I didn’t hear those kinds of comments.” In the speech on race, “I was aware he [Rev. Wright] had made controversial remarks . . . ”
2) “The Kennedys gave my father a scholarship to come to the US, and that’s how he met my mother.” Washington Post reports that Kennedys’ donation to the scholarship program was a year after Obama’s father had already come to the U.S.
3) “My parents met at Selma.” Barack was already 4 years old when Selma occurred, “I meant the whole civil rights movement.” Washington Post.
4) “Mr. Rezko didn’t advise me about the house purchase.” Well, “He did walk through the house with me before I bought it.”
5) Obama said he was a “Professor of Constitutional Law at the University of Chicago.” No, he was a part-time “lecturer” on law. NOT A FULL TIME TENURED PROFESSOR.
There are many more. What does any of this prove? Both candidates “make mistakes” — but Hillary’s are reported as “lies” while Barack “misspeaks.”

50%? Where is that coming from? And nice way of getting in the thing Hillary’s not going to talk about (e.g. “He’s lying about his nuclear connections!”) because you’re part of a “restrained campaign”.
And as for Texas, as I read somewhere in this mess, delegates are what count in the end. That’s what gets you to the “magic number” of 2024. So, in regards to a winner being decided by whoever leads in the number of units that will get him/her elected, Obama won Texas. You can’t counter that by saying “what about the popular vote?” unless you’re going to bring in the entire popular vote, where, again, Obama leads.

Another lie being promoted by Barack Obama concerns his African grandfather, Onyango Obama.
In a speech to voters in Selma, Alabama, Obama said that Onyango Obama was a “boy” for the British until his death. Barack Obama’s reasoning revolved around Onyango being called by his first name, not his last.
The facts show that Onyango Obama was educated, wealthy, owned property, and was nobody’s “boy.” In fact, Onyango Obama was an incredibly powerful figure and a well respected man despite the politically honed suggestions of his grandson, Barack.
Obama’s attempts to disgrace his grandfather gives accurate insight into his unstable personality and the lengths he will go to in efforts to pander to a specific group of voters.

“The working-class stay-at-home women ”
who were so cool to hilary were doing so because hilary had made nasty comments about how she didnt have time to stay home and bake cookies , as thought her job was too important and the job they did as mom was beneath her! yea i would have been “cool” aka hated her too. Now lets address this blind hope “Rendell said that Clinton will be able to beat Sen. John McCain” because i believe he will chew her up and spit her out! first thing we need to recognize is the man has so much on her its insane- crimes, lies, scandals- his first thing will to say how she embarresed the americans and cost them money threw her failures and investigations and name at least one ” monica” that was proven. second she can not claim he isnt fit to be president because she herself told people to vote for him! that one didnt take long to come back to bite her!!! If she tries to say he isnt ready and able he could easily ask her why then has she told american’s to vote for him? what is she suppost to say because im vengeful? im willing to tell america to do the wrong thing that would put them in harm so that obama doesnt win? i was trying to hurt obama by hurting my own party? you see rendell she is as we common americans like to call screwed! by the way its kinda stupid when you say we including yourself into her and tell someone about something and then say but you wont hear that from us! lol
we wouldnt stoop to that level.. haha wow now lets continue…Clinton’s background is out there and your right no one has been talking about the things about obama hilary supporters have been so hush hush..lol
10% about Hillary Clinton that we don’t know – and the other 70 percent isnt good plus the fact that she doesnt seem to hide the good so im sure the other 10 percent is lethal. thats 80%… your right she is looking good! The ” woman ” card has been played to the max. the only woman who are taking pity on hilary is her, her staff and supporters. the racial politics of the state — okay so now your saying they are all racist that should make them warm inside! by the way husbands family all from pa not racist at all!!! “I’ve tried to live as normal a life as I can in my 31 years in public office but its hard. You have to catch yourself all the time…you don’t have the same freedom that a normal person has.”
i see this as saying i have to always remind myself how much can i get away with if all you people are always watching!

Jacksmith, tone it down a bit, Hillary does not have 35 years of experience, Hillary was not the right hand of Bill when he was president or governor of Arkansas or AG, you know that and everybody knows that. She is the junior senator of New York. Remember that there is good experience and there is bad experience, the Washington experience with lobbysts and special interests is a bad experience not useful for America and not for the world. God bless Ameria and God bless Obama. OBAMA08.

anna in los angeles: not interested in going bullet point by bullet point.. but… Barack did teach constitutioinal law… just not “full time”. the law school itself has confirmed it. see? you added “full time”. where did Barack ever say he taught “full time”? see? that is how you start out with the truth… and just like hilary and bill, you make a nice little lie out of it.

LOL! The Clinton campaign today on PA:
“Sen. Obama ought to be able to win. I think they expect to win,” Wolfson said.
LOL! ROFL! LOL!
What an incredible bunch of sinners and losers there Clinton folks are!
They were gonna win PA BIG, BIG and BIG.

All those silly little minds here can copy @ paste their funny smear from anti-Obama sites for days, weeks or months,
Barack Obama will be our beloved POTUS!

anna, los angeles, CA.
kinda like hilary forgot to mention she was associated with him to. people are over it and moved on i guess but thats why she keeps her people bringing it up! or that she did work on behalf of the black panthers( the trueth about hilary by edward klein).

Another Obama Lie:
In Idaho “I have no intention of taking folks’ guns away from them.”
Obama has voted in support of gun control several times.
Greta:
Obviously you’ve been drinking too much Obama kool-aid to respond with anything of substance, just some gushing bs about Obama being your “beloved POTUS” — OMG – how old are you? Schoolgirl crushes don’t get the job done.

anna: gun control is NOT taking your guns away! its an issue of safety … not ownership. see? you take a little chunk of truth… and craft a lie out of it.
too bad… because i always liked the name Anna.

DrZoon:
That explains it. You write idiotic tripe for the idiot box, and “THE MAN SHOW.” It’s always “the man show” for guys like you, who can’t do anything else.

first of all.. i am a dad. two beautiful boys. and i am a GOOD husband. and… i am a VET… four yrs… early 70′s. along with 21 other guys… we did the worst of the worst of search and rescue… the “high risk” work. i had over 1100 sorties. in that time i even managed to help two mothers deliver their babies. i went to college on the GI bill. i have been in TV for a long time… and back in the 90′s… wrote and directed a PBS doc on health care… and watched in horror as Hilary ruined a great opportunity to start a badly needed plan (ask congressman Cooper.. she told him that if he didnt shut up… she would crush him). i was a consultant on the US Tobacco trials on the state AG’s side working for attny Ron Motley … super class action attny. i was raised in a motel in banning california… in a one room unit with one brother and three sisters… and whatever i have achieved… i did on my own.
i have done something with my life.
and comedy… is a truth serum. and the closer you get to the truth people either get really pissed… or … they laugh.

The truth is, anybody who doesnt support Obama , is a racist.If you support Obama, that is proof,you are not a racist.

Wow. Rendell parroted a standard Clinton attack line and then said you wouldn’t hear about it from the Clinton campaign because “there’s been restraint on both sides.” What hypocrisy.
Clinton has misrepresented Obama’s nuclear legislation repeatedly. The reality is that Obama fought hard for that bill–which Clinton cosponsored–and he made necessary bipartisan compromises to get it through committee. The Republicans did kill it in the full Senate, but it raised awareness of the problem and got the industry to commit to self-policing in the near term. And don’t think that Obama was done with that particular issue. He left himself in a good position to circle back around and get harder legislation enacted. He was able to pull it off with ethics reform, and I have no doubt he could do it here.

Come out of the closet Hillary, your the Campaign magr of the McCain campaign.

The MSM special interest groups can stop attacking Obama. It’s very clear that he does not intend to end the war either.

Obama is far from stupid, if fact just the opposite.

I dont know if that is your reason for Obama to be president. Obama doesnt qualify to be president.

Well calling Obama stupid just doesn’t sit well with me. I’m still shaking my head at that comment.

Obamamania, you do know that when Rev Wright said G….damn america he was referring to our foreign policies and not the people of this country. And he is not asking for reparations. And what is wrong with wanting to make peace with muslims and everyone else who hates the US. That is the world I want to live in.

Rendell has a SPINE, Richardson dos not..
Thank you, Ed for telling it as it is.
Truth will always save us, not fraud.
Obama is a FRAUD!!!
Beware!

Of course Richardson has a spine. How many people have stood up to the Clintons. Good for him. The Clintons are bullies. Didn’t you know that is why he endorsed Obama.

How is it that a person can support a racist organization for more than twenty years and still support that organization and be considered for the presidency of the United States. I just don’t understand how a black person gets a pass on this where a white person would have been so brutally pummeled by the press he wouldn’t stand a chance at becoming president? This type of bias treatment by the left wing press outrages me and many other americans. I am not a racist. I am simply amazed that this type of unbalance treatment against white people is not seen as racism. You can not solve a problem by creating another problem.

Ok, I’ll bite. Why is Obama a bonehead.

And this is what Ed Rendell is saying. People don’t know Obama.
FYI, the Rezko trial is taking place now in Chicago. Obama and Rezko have been very close friends for over 17 years. Obama had Rezko assist him in purchasing a home he could not otherwise afford in a very shady transaction. The Rezko trial has been dubbed “A CESSPOOL OF CORRUPTION” which will undoubtly bring down many politicians. Obama will most likely be one of them.

Chris Matthews gets a “chill up his leg ” when BHO speaks…I get a chill down my spine when I hear him. My Gov. Rendell is right on the money with BHO. I live in Philly, ..Rendell was a great mayor, he was able to get this city out fo the “red” while keeping city services at a high level. What has BHO ever done that qualifies him to be president of the U.S. Everyone should think about who they want sitting across from the Chinese premier or Vladimir Putin discussing a treaty or policy. These people will not be swayed by a speech.

SO FAR, OBAMA IS BIG ON WORDS AND LIGHT ON ACTIONS. THAT INCLUDES PRODUCING CHANGE IN HIS CAREER IN CHICAGO OR THE WASHINGTON.

lisa? its going to be a while. you might want to get a blanket too

yep… me too.

just as i thought. NOTHING.
let me help you: she voted for the war? she did that one … all by herself! of course she didn’t take time out to at least crack open the NIE, which was pretty clear that this was a war not worth starting.
so… yes. she did manage to accomplish that. doing her part in killing 4000+ of our servicemen and women. and ruining 100′s of thousands of lives of others. and killing around a million Iraqis.. and displacing (refugees) two million more.
so there you go… she always has THAT.
oh… oh oh oh… and… she has ruining this country’s last chance for a decent health care plan! ask Congressman Cooper about what she told him (he had a plan already in the works… with support from both partys) (hint: i think it was “back off, or i will crush you”)
there’s more… want it?

lisa: she played a very important role in negotiating the Irish Peace Plan!

LMAO ok right. I remember her story. Get the violen out. What a heroin.

there is an argument that says…. voting for a energy bill has the same moral gravity as going to war?
wow.
and voting to protect and feed and support GI’s… is not a vote that you use AGAINST someone. as a matter of fact… do you know who shoved the bill through the senate that told the VA that they couldn’t charge the guys at walter reed and like hospitals… for food and phone calls
so… really. i’m serious.
tell us … what has Hilary done.. ANYWHERE?
i mean that. it can be small… don’t be embarrassed. even the little stuff counts

Jim, it’s on record that Obama opposed the war. With that said, of course he will vote to fund it to keep our troops safe. How could he not. They are our number one priority.

okay…. well… i take that as ….
nothing? hilary … HERSELF… hasn’t accomplished .. ANYTHING?
let me help you. its looks like she did a pretty good job as a mother. Chelsea seems like a good person.. and hasn’t been pulled over for DUI.
there… how’s that?

Today, Republican John McCain portrayed Barack Obama as a national security neophyte who was dishonestly misrepresenting him on Iraq.
McCain questioned Obama’s plan to leave a “strike force” of US troops in the Middle East after an eventual withdrawal from Iraq, and accused him of being “disingenuous” about his own Iraq stance.
Obama has pledged to end the war in Iraq in 2009 amd said this week that he would leave enough troops in the country to defend the US embassy, along with a strike force in the region to hobble Al-Qaeda.
“I think somebody ought to ask what in the world he’s talking about, especially since he has no experience or background at all in national security affairs,” said McCain.

Republicans and war?
Perhaps a lesson in history would be in order. Let’s start with the 20th century and proceed:
World War I – President Woodrow Wilson- Democrat
World War II – President Franklin Roosevelt – Democrat
Korean War – President Harry Truman – Democrat (Eisenhower inherited the problems from this one)
Viet Nam Conflict – Presidents John Kennedy and Lyndon Johnson (Nixon inherited the problems from this one)
Iraq – President George H.W. Bush – Republican
Bosnia – President William Clinton – Democrat
Iraq/Afghanistan – President George W. Bush – Republican
Many other small conflicts were about evenly spread among the two parties, but, by far, Democrats qualify as producing significant loss of life and destruction of property in American wars.
Or, is there an Obama spin to this one, too?

Why Obama supporters are angry of what Rendell has to say the truth is. Even them they still don’t know the real Obama but just go blind and deaf of what Obama has done to deceive the voters. His campaign ads are fooling the voters ( big oil issue) , all the facts about his resume is doubful including the truth of his enthenicity, whether he is half Arab or Black. If truth hurts,and reality bites their pride of choosing Obama.. just be honest .. I am sure they are also having doubts about their Idol.

jayhawk… do you know what “fell the roman empire”?

Jayhawk, Cheney and his thugs wanted a war because of oil. Bush claimed mission accomplished, what a moron. Iraq is in a civil war because of us. And please don’t say regardless or how we got there…….We wouldn’t be there if Rove and Chaney weren’t in office.

When Rendell was chairman of the DNC, he took $15,000 from Rezko.
He’s swings deals with Bill’s buddy Ron Burkle.
He’s sucked up to the Clinton’so he can get in on the bounty.

there’s something about Rendell that’s increasingly creepy. he comes off like a Mafia guy who won’t burn your house down as long as you stay on his good side.
i’m not sure he’s an asset to Clinton’s campaign.

Fifty percent of the country doesn’t like Hillary because of the vague memories we have of all she’s been involved in and because she continually proves to us that she lies first and thinks later all the time. If she should become the nominee, the republicans would see to it that we all remembered every single little nasty detail. The stuff in Obama’s column is small potatoes in comparison. I hope the country doesn’t have to go through that again.

This poor bigot tried for 16 years to get elected and now he is ignoring his state while he tries for a job in a magical win with Clinton. He keeps trying to ignite the Wright issue again…and he just dosen’t get it…no one cares anymore…so good luck with finding that other 50% that the voters that have elected him 3 time in IL have not found LOL Obama has been in elected office for 8 years…anyone with a brain KNOWS where he stands on most issues just like we all KNOW Clinton is a pattern liar…but hey he thinks those Republican 527′s won’t go after her? Right when monkey’s fly outa her rear!

Well, the 90% we do know about Hillary is NOT GOOD so yeah you can win on Racism and lies but that’s not the person I want in the White House. It’s unbeleiveable how the people that Hillary surrounds herself with keep bringing up the Race issue (Ferraro and now Randell). PATHETIC!”You’ve got conservative whites here, and I think there are some whites who are probably not ready to vote for an African-American candidate,” Rendell told the editorial board of the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette in remarks that appeared in Tuesday’s paper.MSBCnews

I’m willing to bet that the 50% we don’t
know about Obama is just as good as the
50% we do know.
That is integrity, honesty, conscience,
and empathy. It’s also the courage to
face the problem head-on and not be
disingenuous. Unfortunately, I can’t
say the same about Hillary.

Lisa and Dr. Zoon:
You wanted to know what Hillary Clinton has accomplished by herself?
FactChecker.org lists the following legislation that Senator Clinton sponsored on her own (not “co-sponsored” like most of Obama’s proposed billes) WHICH HAVE ALREADY BEEN ENACTED INTO LAW:

What have either of you or Senator Obama accomplished that even comes close to this level of public service?
Lisa, you can sneer all you want about popcorn and pillows, but I doubt you will ever in your life accomplish anything close to what Senator Clinton has.

Rendell needs to go back to where he came from. His 5 minutes of fame have turned in to 5 minutes of insanity.

I don’t understand how Gov Rendell can continue to say that Hillary Clinton is the stronger candidate. It leads one to question his judgement as well. How can Hillary Clinton, who tries to bolster her foreign policy experience by telling lies about encountering sniper fire, who made up another story about it when shown a photo, and then only admitted to it after being presented with video footage of the actual event, along with a husband who lied to the American people about his immoral behavior as President- how can she be the stronger candidate??? What is Gov Rendell talking about? He seems to be discounting all the evidence of Barack Obama’s strength, completely forgeting his honest and courageous speech on race during a difficult period. I cannot imagine Hillary Clinton approaching a crisis in the same level-headed manner. Barack Obama is the superior candidate in every way- he has integrity, judgement, intelligence, and in addition, the ability to motivate and inspire!

Lately Obama has been offering kisses to the ladies. He is hoping that all those who support Hillary will rush to his side to defend him against McCain. All I can say is, don’t depend on it, Barry. You might have to win this one on your own.
Of course, he and the others will blame Hillary for his loss. Rendell is trying to point this out to you, but you’re too busy throwing rocks to listen. But, that’s okay. McCain is smiling all the time these days for nothing.

Just the fact that Gov Rendell is a Clinton supporter limits creditability to what he has to say. I strongly disagree with the statement the more people get to know Hillary the more people will like her. It should go like this the more people get to know Hillary,the more you find out flaws in her character, such as: divisiveness,blatant opportunist dangerously ambitious, untrustworthy
direspectful of rules qualities that would make a very poor leader.

the hillary is vetted argument is about the biggest insult to intelligence one can think of … the clintons owe allof us who defended bill big time, the well has been dry for years

The Obama supporters here obviously have computers and internet access. Take a break from posting valentines and do a little research instead. Look at the information you see with a jaundiced eye not blinded by adoration. What do you think the Republicans and 527s will do with this info in the general election?
Then consider that when they shed light on these things that Hillary and the MSM refuse to, how many Republicans and centrist Americans are going to rally around McCain? Obama will keep the strong base he holds now, but even some of his current supporters will either stay home or vote McCain.
I’m convinced that the Reps and 527s are ready and waiting for Obama. They’re hoping that new revelations don’t come to light before Hillary is out of it and Obama is theirs to crush.

Rendell is not exactly the gospel of truth and consistency. He speaks much faster than he can think and would not attribute one iota of attention to what is pouring out of his mouth!

What Rendell is saying is a point in time statement….one thing hopefully experience has taught us about the Clintons though is that there is always another scandal just around the corner…

Every now and then some surrogate makes a comment and some accept it as the gospel truth because the read on the internet.
Rendall claims that we don’t no 50% about Obama… Let me see, he’s already written 2 bestsellers about his life; exposing a lot of things that most people. especially candidates wouldn’t admit to.
If 50% about him is not known; then how does anyone know what’s not known to measure.
This is a crock…. A fearmongery that’s is typical of the Clinton campaign. It’s Rendall’s function to raise nebulous doubts about Obama; the media’s to spread it and the gullible’s to fall for it every time.
Just because the Clintons’ lives are full of so many sordid twist and turns doesn’t make Obama’s life that complicated as well.
Is Hillary fully vetted as she claims ?
Tax Returns …
google: Paul vs. Clinton …

There may be 50% we don’t know about Obama, but there’s 90% we don’t know about Hillary Clinton. The remaining 10% we do know is not good.
Wake up people.

Hey! Just because Rendell is backing Clinton doesn’t make him the enemy! Jeez! He’s endorsing her, so of course he’s “selling” her to the electorate! Do you all really want another Republican to beat him next time? If not, shut the Hell up about him being the worst thing since Satan, and focus on the real opposition – the Reactionary Right. Neither Clinton nor Obama, or their spokespeople are the enemy!

didn’t like the message?

Whoops! They’re baaaaack. Funny thing is they ask for evidence, you give it to em’, then they say it doesn’t mean anything.
Truth is, they don’t want to look at facts, make an informed decision, admit that their candidate may not be ready, or worse yet, have to realize that Barack is a FRAUD who is simply not electable.
I have seen this pattern by the Obama supporters for quite some time now and have come to realize that their main objective is to derail the talking points. This is how they try to keep the truth from being told. Ed Rendell is spot on about Obama. No one knows a thing about this guy. What little we do know is either uneventful or downright creepy.

He stayed at the church for the reason most people stay at their churches- because they believe in God and Jesus and want to learn the lessons of Christianity. Until you’ve watched the other videos and truly given Wright the benefit of the doubt, you have not right to judge Obama.

Ed Rendell got to be a Mr. Head or worst. What a man saying such a thing about his own party. He must be a Republican. He’s been talking a lot of crap lately. Desperation or he’s just an idiot. I wonder what Hilary promise him….. Man they are just so hateful now the true colors coming out. Destroying the Dem. party very slowly.

The Hillary haters just crack me up! I read comments that say Hillary has not accomplished anything in the Senate. That could be farther from the truth! If you people did your research instead of acting like you know what you are talking about, you would find out that Hillary has gotten several things done as a Senator from New York. You Hillary haters just don’t want to know the real facts, thats all. I have family that live in Pennsylvania, and they like Gov. Ed Rendell. sc, yes he has a day job, its called the Governor of Pennsylvania.

I was very impressed by Governor Rendell’s comments. He made a lot of sense. The fact is that Barack Obama is a well packaged liberal candidate about which people know nothing. He speaks only in generalities and everything he does is calculated not to offend, but nothing he does tells you where he stand or what you are actually voting for in the election.
I am more concerned about Barack Obama than I have been about any candidate for federal office than I have in a very long time because he is openly deceptive about where he stands. I think he will place certain things first, and we will only learn what those things that are near and dear to Barack Obama’s heart after the election. He will not be a President to place America first. He will place Africa First. That is the missionary emphasis of the church of Jeremiah Wright. There is a lot of emphasis about Reverend Writght, but I think it is important to note what the teaching of the church are about the kind of works that Americans should do. No one is asking Barack Obama these questions.
Finally, I want to make one predicition about the Presidency of Barack Obam. Senator Obama has gone at great lengths recently to repudiate the words of Jeremiah Wright. But I predict that Jeremiah Wright, the man who is recorded as saying “God damn you, America”, will be the one person Barack Obama will choose to administer the Oath of Office. That will be the first clue to Americans that will tell them what kind of President they have elected. But by then, though they will know they have chosen a deceiver for President, it will be too late. But don’t go by what Mike Moody says. Ask Barack Obama a straight out question. Who will you choose to administer the Oath of Office to you when you are publicly sworn into office as President of the United States.

mike moody: get a job. you have way way too much time on your hands. Barack isn’t going to sell us down the river to Africa! my god man… where were you when Bill Clinton was selling us down the river to China? (on the behalf of Wal-Mart of course!)
what is it that just scares people about a black man?

PB…. tell me, what did she do? you don’t need to go into detail…. just give me the broad strokes! in her “35 years” what has she accomplished? i was at ground zero with the health care initiative. i can easily tell you what she did… to screw that up.
Considering i am the one who started that “what did she do…” string, my question was: “what has SHE done. we know it wasn’t ANYTHING in bosnia. it was all done and “in the can” for a couple of years by the time she showed up. we know it wasn’t Ireland Peace Plan (no need to go into detail on that one i suppose. just ask senator george mitchell), we know it was nothing more than maybe “pillow talk” with the children’s health care plan (ask senators hatch and kennedy… Bill wouldn’t even sign it)… we know it wasn’t speaking up against the stupid stupid war!
what was it that SHE did? not something that someone else did that she made sure HER name was on it.

Why I will not vote for Obama:
1. Are we likely to get GOOD CHANGES in Energy policy from an Obama administration?
Answer: NO. Why Not?
Because: Obama voted FOR the Cheney Energy Bill (H.R. 6) in 2005.
(which enabled the nuke industry to begin planning to build 29 new nukes (one of them in Pennsylvania)
- after 30 years of no new nukes being built because the banks wouldn’t loan the money – too risky.
The Cheney Energy Bill solved that problem for the nuke industry by guaranteeing taxpayer payback of any of the nuke loans that default … (with the risk of default rated by the Congressional Budget Office at 50% or greater).
Because: Obama has been IN with the nuke industry for decades. Excelon Corp. of Illinois is the largest nuke operator on earth – ( they own the nuclear power plants in Illinois and they own Con-Ed in NY state). Excelon has been one of Obama’s largest contributors since his earliest days in politics.
Because: Obama would not even be IN the race for president IF he was not HEAVILY SUPPORTED by the nuke industry. GE (2nd largest corporation on the planet) & Westinghouse are planning to build many of those nukes.
GE owns NBC & MSNBC. Westinghouse owns CBS. That’s the reason “the Mainstreams Media” are PUSHING Obama for President/ slamming & smearing the Clintons. ABSENT BILLIONS of dollars worth of FREE Pro-Obama Advertising/Propaganda provided by NBC/MSNBC/and CBS Obama would not have gotten past the New Hampshire primary.
2. Are we likely to get GOOD CHANGES in the ECONOMY?
Answer: It doesn’t look good. Obama’s financial advisors include the followng people:
JEFFREY LIEBMAN: SOCIAL SECURITY: In a 2005 policy paper Liebman advocated a mix of benefit cuts, tax increases and mandatory personal accounts.
DAVID CUTLER: HEALTHCARE: He Says High Health Care Costs are Good.
AUSTAN GOOLSBEE: RICH GETTING RICHER, EVERYBODY ELSE GETTING POORER:
The stagnation of middle- and working-class incomes, and the anxiety this has generated, is, he says, a most pressing problem, but policymakers must be mindful about trying to address its root cause, which Goolsbee says is “radically increased returns to skill.” ( i.e. College degrees are paying off more & more — which is true, BUT Certainly DOES NOT account for the rise of the super rich, nor the increasing poverty of everyone else.)
(Evidently, Goolsbee’s not old enough to remember the beginning of that Income Inequality, or to recognize THE CAUSE. It began in 1981. THE CAUSE of it was and is that Reagan cut the top tax rate DOWN from 70% to the low 30% s, AND Corporations all over America BEGAN instituting “THE TWO-TIER WAGE STRUCTURE’. i.e. Pay the people at the top a LOT MORE, Pay Everybody Else a LOT LESS. (If you searched old newspaper archives from the early 1980s you would find newspaper articles about the sudden appearance of the Two-Tier Wage Structure.)
3. Are we likely to get GOOD CHANGES in Foreign Policy?
Answer: Not Likely.
Among a dozen or so Foreign Policy Advisors the most “senior” advisor is:
Zbigniew Brzezinski. Former National Security Advisor to President Carter. Using the CIA & Billions of dollars, he ginned up a War in Afghanistan …. seeking as he said to “give the Soviet Union its own Vietnam.”.
He Created the Taliban and Al Queda/ JIHAD/madrassa brainwashing schools for that purpose. Supported the dictator Pol Pol who massacred millions of Cambodian villagers. When asked, if in hindsight, considering that Al Queda eventually attacked America, and Pol Pot slaughtered millions – IF he would change anything he had done …. Zbig answered NO, he was satisfied with the results.
Electing Obama President is not likely to reassure the rest of the world that the U.S. is going to cease having an insane foreign policy; is likely to put Russia on an even more nervous hair trigger than they are now.
The major problem with Obama and his advisiors is they are ACADEMICS who have lived the life of privilege out of touch with the real world — Better educated and smarter than Bush’s gang — they are still likely to do just as badly at running the government — for the same reason: OUT OF TOUCH WITH REALITY … i.e. insane….people doing insane things.
4. Are we likely to get GOOD CHANGES in: appointing competent qualified people to run the government; instead of cronyism, or good changes that get rid of fraud, payoffs, and corruption in government?
Answer: No.
Because: Obama’s friend Rezko was part and parcel of the mafia connected, corrupt, Daley Chicago political machine. Rezko was Obama’s chief fundraiser from the beginning of his career in Illinois politics to his election to the U.S. Senate. There is very little coverage of the Obama Rezko/Daley corruption connections on National TV, but the local Chicago papers have a lot of info going back several years … & it don’t look good for Obama. He got IN with the Daley machine when his wife worked as an assistant to one of Daley’s higher ups; Obama looks to be part and parcel of the same corrupt Daley political machine as his friend Rezko.
Some of the above is speculation based on facts.. What I KNOW Obama HAS ALREADY DONE makes all the above doubts and questions irrelevant in answering the question:
Is Obama qualified to be, or likely to be, a GOOD President?
Answer: NO. He has already done something so unconscionable, so dirty, so dangerous that no sane American would even consider voting for him. HE played the race card.
Those accusations of racism against the Clintons did not come from any public “Outcry” on the part of black people all over the country – those accusations of racism came solely and directly from the Obama Campaign. Obama was caught red-handed pushing those accusations to the press – in a 4-page Internal Campaign Memo – Listing those accusations & directing them to the press. The Huffington Post obtained a copy & published it on the web.
Shortly thereafter, during one of the debates, Tim Russert (MSNBC) ….. while rustling a copy of the 4-page Memo in his hand …. asked Obama …. your campaign has been pushing accusations of racism to the press (rustles pages) …. in a 4-page campaign memo …. what do you have to say about that?
Obama mumbled a few sentences ….( people in both campaigns get carried away and say things they shouldn’t have said … blah..blah) …. and …. then MSNBC/ the mainstream media …. NEVER MENTIONED IT AGAIN!.
Instead, MSNBC/NBC/CBS and all the rest of the mainstream CORPORATE-CONTROLLED media just went right on endlessly PUSHING the SAME totally ridiculous false accusations of “racism”.
Obama made those accusations of racism …. in order to win the South Carolina primary. Obama has continued to make accusations of racism … every time …. he falls behind in the polls. The question is: What USE of RACISM / inter-racial strife would he NOT stoop to IF elected President.
Which brings us to the Question: Is it likely Obama will TRANSCEND race… .Get Past the Politics of DIVISION;.. …..Unite this Country?
Given the DIVISION he has already created by making false accusations of racism – the answer is a resounding:
HELL NO!
Obama is the CORPORATE-CONTROLLED candidate being PUSHED by the CORPORATE-CONTROLLED Media.
Same Media that sold TOO MANY AMERICANS on Bush/Cheney. Same Media that SOLD U.S. a War.

rendell is a known racist. he was the DA of philly back in the 80s and was involved in the bombing of the MOVE house in west philly. that bombing killed 11 people, including kids. he has done nothing to rectify his part of the problem. i don’t trust him AT ALL. so if hillary is accepting his support just so she can win pennsylvania… then i cannot support her. it’s impossible.
bad move, hillary. there are plenty of black folks out here who will never forget what happened to MOVE! we’ll never forget the name rendell. it’s a bad move to have that name connected with your own.
