Gore Backs Obama’s Presidential Run

Yes things are comming together now, from campaign staff to endorsements.

Is anybody surprised that Democratic Party leaders are supporting Obama?
This means nothing.
No matter who won the Democratic presidential nominee, Al Gore would have did the same thing for him or her.

Losers for Obama roll call
Carter -check
Kerry – check
Gore- check
McGovern -check
Impressive. losers we can believe in.

Amy- In this great country, you are free to waste your vote however you choose.

you will write hillary in? that is absolutely stupid. the next prez will likely nominate two supreme court justices. if mccain becomes prez say bye-bye to reproductive rights. the current court is one vote from overturning roe v. wade. so, yeah, write in hillary. thats bright.

Amy, come on stop it, that being silly Hillary is out…get over it.

He is another Judas!!!

Well that should pretty much finish Obama off, maby they can go on a global warming tour together and fool everyone into thinking we can pull out of oil as soon as Obama gets elected. What a joke.

I urge all ex-Democrats such as myself, to do as I do. Everytime I get a request for a contribution to Obama or the DNC I send the postage paid envelope back, sealed and empty! OR I put a note in that my contribution has gone to Hillary to pay back her debt.

Good ol Al, he’s back, I wonder if his jet and 10,000sf mansion is running on solar power yet? If not he will just pay a few carbon credits and everything is hunkydory.

I am glad he’s backing Obama…a Gore endorsement should be the final nail in his political coffin.

Howard Dean and company probably think Gore will boost Mr Obama’s ratings. Sorry, he wont. And how come he’s endorsing him only now?

I’m getting sick of Bush-bashing. I disagree with his policies as much as the next guy, but seriously, he doesn’t have THAT much power to screw things up.
He’s probably thinking his life sucks right now because of all the whining he has to put up with; like gay people in leopard colored thongs picketing on his front lawn. If it was my lawn, I’d douse these idiots with a Super-Soaker full of pee, or give them yummy granola bars laced with a potent laxitive.

Geevil
go ahead keep trashing Gore. I am sure lots of Americans will get behind you trashing the man they wish had been President…even moany of those who voted for Bush.
But you keep up that positive American spin.
the rest of us will watch as all the negatives you guys are still typing on here drives even those who use to be with you to say…”these guy were on our side?”
statements like the ones you have been making are just a big wake up to those real Americans and dems who actually use to side with you.
Makes them realize that maybe all that angry support wasn’t for Hillary …it was just blind anger.
anyone who can trash Gore (calling him a “loser”, and deriding the fact that America made a mistake that has cost us lives and our reputation and standing oy) to do that now with where we are and what he has done in the past 8 years…a person like that just has to be just “off”.
oy.

Obama will probably give him the position of EPA so he can finish destroying the American economy.

I guess all of the same old politicians backing the empty suit is the change that we’ve always be waiting for.

I will never vote for McCain – I will write Ron Paul in.

I’d even vote for Urkel over Obama…lol

Pushing the world government and destroying America’s sovereignty. Both are Council on Foreign Relations scum.
Google “Endgame”, “Freedom to Fascism”.

“I intend to do whatever I can…”
Question: what can he do??

Billy Bob the real loser from 2000 was the U.S. because we screwed up and got Bush.
or maybe you haven’t noticed where we are and how bad the road is.
but yeah…only a “winner” would be calling Gore the loser. that would make Bush a winner too. so you must be like Bush…because he sure is a winner.

It wasn’t the Clinton’s that cost him the election it was Bush’s cheating.

OH Scotti, I think you are confused, if I remember right good ol Bill destroyed good ol Bill all by himself. I know it is tough but think long and hard on that one.

J and at the State of the Union address instead of saying I mis-spoke he’ll say “Did I say that”? or “Did I do that”?

LOL…that is too funny. Thanks for the laugh.

Years from now I hope all of yuo with this bologne you are writing are so proud when your grandkids look at you and say “we learned about the big election in 2008…who did you vote for?”
will you be like my grandparents that defensively deride John Kennedy and MLK and Bobby Kennedy to this day…all because they “were all full of crap” as they say.
I am sure your grandkids will be so proud of ya.
as sarcastic as that is I feel bad for you that you all can’t get out of the way of yourselves.

Today in the corrupt liberal media.
15 stories about Obama
none about Mc Cain.
Aint the corrupt american media grand?
This is no better than communist countries do to make sure their chosen candidate wins a ‘fair’ election.

8 years of Bush have seen terrorist attacks on our country, two wars without end, Osama Bin Laden still at large, record deficet spending, withdrawel from climate treaties, 75 million americans uninsured or underinsured, a corrupted republican congress in lockstep with the president every inch of the way, illegal activity auth’d by the president (wiretapping, torture), a pathetic response to Katrina, and the answer for many of you is….more of the same??? NOOO WAAAAYYY.

Well, what do you know. Al Gore finally made a decision to endorse someone. Took him long enough. I could see Good old Al Gore as president on December 7th, 1941. On December 7th 1943, he would decide to go to war with the japanese.

Do you think he was going to endorse McCain. Are you kidding???? What a coward, he could not endorse him when he was in the primary with Hillary. What a meely mouse. People want him to be a VP when he could not make a decision to endorse him when he was running against Hillary He had to wait for now. Again what a coward.

Dean, Dodd, Kerry,Kennedy, Edwards, Richardson, Gore – all LOSERS!!! – The DNC party leaders can support all they want. IF obama’s name is on the ballot – I will vote AGAINST him – obama is NOT qualified to lead our country – and MILLIONS feel the same way. So… looks like McCain wins!

Oh goody, goody, gumdrops! A liar who’s backing up another liar. He tried to steal the Presidency from Bush in 2000. Now his latest lie,(global warming – the biggest con) is his movie to get his socialist agenda done. I’m not surprised that he and Obama talk. Birds of a feather, flock together. Patriot, the surge is working. Didn’t Gore state in 2000, how much of a threat to the U.S. was Saddam Hussein? I don’t remember him mention al Queda? Huh? I’m waiting! Poor Al Gore, born with a silver spoon in his mouth, didn’t even win his home state! Didn’t he flunk Divinity school? And now Obama wants to have a “windfall tax” on the Oil companies. Uh, News Flash! They tried that in 1980. Oil revenues were 75% less than predicted and domestic output fell 8%. Actually imports went up 16%. Yes, we have Carter (failure), Clinton (failure), and now Obama (wanna be failure). I just cringe if I think Gore could have been our leader in 2001, how much worse off we would have been. We had been attacked 5 times before 9/11 and Clinton/Gore did NOTHING! Oh, that’s right. They attacked Iraq! Oh, yeah, Dems have so much amnesia. They want Obama to take care of them, remember, they don’t want anyone with experience of running ANY busines or have any leadership experience. That would make too much sense! They just want change! Change to Karl Marx!

Billy Bob
Your right it isn’t entirely George Bush and his administrations fault.
It lies a little on the American people they duped.
and with the republican controlled congress that got us into a situation we can’t find our way out of… even changing the majority… the war, the environment, the housing, the trashing of support from our allies…
they aren’t a door… we can’t just say okay lets fix it… you break it …you buy it…you can glue it…but it isn’t the same plate…and chances are it’s going to keep breaking until you completey cover it with layers of glue and years of taxpayers dollars…
so here comes McCain and lIeberman giving the same speech to AIPAC to get support for the Iraq War… now but replacing the word Iraq with Iran…
so we can break another plate… and your grandkids can be still gluing when they retire.

Obama 08. Time for a change we can believe in. Hillary has endorsed Obama…move on. Bush disliked around the world and only 30% approval here…don’t need more of the same McCain. The republican party failed us completely. I am independent, I have heard Obama speak, the man is a great leader. Most of the party’s greatest leaders support Obama. I will be voting Obama thank you very much have a nice day.

NO – you cannot write in Hillary – most states do not even allow it – they vote on electronic machines – no place to Write in. A Vote for McCain is actually a vote AGAINST obama – think of it that way – anything to make sure obama does not win!

Gore is a fraud, but worse, a total bore. A fraud, because he owns up to 15% (a big number) in a company that will act as middleman for the transactions to buy and sell carbon credits. A bore, because he couldn’t even beat Geo. Bush…what a loser. Please Sir Gore…stay away from Sen. Obama.

Al Gore finally came out of his global-warmed up cave and took a “look-sey” outside or what !!
What took you so long homey!!
We needed you last month. He must be looking for a “juicy” cabinet position in the Obama administration..LOL!!
Obama/Powell ’08 !!

I doubt most people would have wished for Al Gore to have been president eight years ago. The anger and disappointment for the Bush Administration is fueled by biased reporting and and misunderstanding of the true nature of things. Faced with the same situations as our current president there is little to justify a claim that he would have performed better and that the nation would not have low approval ratings for him with the economy and gas being what they are due to numerous factors that most overlook or don’t fully understand. Writing in Hillary or Ron Paul instead of someone who is on the ticket is a perfectly rational thing to do. It makes a statement that you do not support those running for president. I’m sure there will be enough of these individuals this go around that just might spoil things for one of the candidates.

dl, you are a product of your enviroment(whatever big city that is) and I would like to congradulate you and your party for the great job yall have done in congress since taking control. Boy they really went after those baseball players and their steroid use. As far as Iran, I would rather break some eggs now rather than when those eggs are radioactive in a few years and its too late. Try and explain that one to your grandkids.

I think I will write Urkel in. I thought about Barney, but I think I like Urkel better.

whcjr46…I’ll tell you what…I’ll write your name in… You sound like the kind of guy we need in the White House. Another one who says absolutely nothing but empty words…..

Gore can back anyone he wants — he would have endorsed Clinton if she had won (or been selected). BUT — I keep reading on the blogs where people are critizing Clinton supporters for not supporting Obama — YOU OBAMA PEOPLE DON’T GET IT — WE DO NOT LIKE ANYTHING about Obama and will not vote for him in the national election. I don’t care that Clinton & Obama has very similar polices, are both Democrats, and a host of many other similarities — MY reason for not voting for Obama is just simple and plain — I DO NOT LIKE HIM! I DO NOT TRUST HIM — I DO NOT RESPECT HIM!!
I have never voted for a republican candidate for president and I am not saying that I will this year — but I do know, for a fact, that I will not be voting for the democratic candidate, either. This has nothing to do this a man’s skin color — it has EVERYTHING to do with a man’s character and Obama is lacking BIG time in this field. I hope that Hillary is not offered the VP spot because I still couldn’t vote for this man.

dl you can try to call me names – i don’t care.
I stand true to my principles and I refuse to support Obama because I don’t trust him for 1,000 reasons. You should educate yourself in the two bad candidates for the WH.
Both are bad but Obama takes the cake! To me Obama is as dishonest as they come in politics – look how he got into senate and look at his record for starters.
I pray to God Obama does not ever get into the WH.

Billy Bob
Yeah I did big cities and small towns (I live in NH lol)…
but you keep talking about radioactive eggs… so while we are focusing on Iran not getting weapons our relationships with afghanistan, the terrorist, pakistan and nuclear proliferation from pakistan I might ad if you read a paper… all goes without enough force taking care of that region…
meanwhile our saber rattling and our stance on Iraq…gives iran the ability to go argue that WE are the danger… and countries are listening.
get smart…no more Bush.
Go research what kind of speeches and work McCain and Lieberman did (as members of the Comm for the liberation of Iraq) with AIPAC to get us support before we went into Iraq…the same words, speeches and actions they are doing with Iran in the past three weeks.
go look it up.

This means nothing, and says everything. If Gore wants to be superdelegate 353, it’s his choice.
Obama is still the candidate who if not for older Dems lost to Hlllary Clinton when we got to see Obama from what he is, a Chicago politician who should loose the general election. Not because Obama is the man he is (African-American, Junior Senator), but because of the campaign he ran.

dl, That’s why I’ll probably never be elected president. I’m too insensitive to American idiocy. I would ask way too much common sense. No wonder we’re the laughing stock of europe.
These protesters could be neo-nazi white supremicists for all I care. If that were my White House, and you trample my daisies, I’m going to issue pellet guns to the secret service and order them to open fire; after I turn on the sprinklers.
That’s why I’ll probably never be elected president. I’m too insensitive to American idiocy. I would ask way too much common sense from people.

I have been to the state gathering for dems… I have spoken with real Hillary supporters…
there is a handful of crazies who sound like the few crazies on here…
but 99% of them think those few are …well, crazies.
It’s not Hillary supporters that won’t vote… Most almsot all hillary supporters are great Americans who vote for their country and their kids.
it’s people who either aren’t mentally past the 5th grade stage so they don’t know how to deal with the issues matter more than a single candidate, they are crazy, or yes they may be racist, or they have never risked working at anything competitive and don’t know how to deal with losing…
but it’s not Hillary supporters…Hillary supporters (and I have been around hundreds in the past couple of weeks) are to those who won’t for Obama…as humans are to people who are hard pressed to let go of spite…
they are a very small subset.

Mr Gore, don’t worry about the contributions.
He has lots of rich people back him

Scotti, I guess the republicans forced Bill to have an affair with Monica and then forced him to say ” I did not have sex with that woman”?????? Guess what sometimes it is not someone elses fault it is of your own doing.

I’ll have to give the Fonz some thought.

Big Al, can tell his friends they need to contribute more carbon credits and just give them to Obama. Who would know? The carbon credit bank?

Y’all is funny. If some of you had devoted this much energy and thought into school maybe we wouldn’t be losing so many jobs to India.

Just look at McCain’s voting record! Need I say anything more?

A Leader We cCan Believe In – Sound’s like chairman Mao!!
Whiles at it dont forget the North korea leader Kim Jung Il.
The dumb republicans wants to turn our country into another north korea by voting for comrade McCain. if you dont believe me check his slogan and compare that with the slogan of communist china and north korea. McCain is a communist, he became a communist in vietnam and is a card-holding member of the communist party. And thats a fact!!

Scotti, I figured you must be young with the next generation comment, I can remember when I got out of college and thought I knew everything. How naive I was back then. You will learn one of these days.

Sigh, reading these comments is just depressing.
Hillary Clinton and Mark Penn ran a negative, attack-based campaign against Obama, releasing sound bytes that they knew would glue themselves into the minds of the uneducated and undereducated. Now I’m sitting here, reading through the “hillary or nobody” people’s comments about Obama, and all of their reasons for not voting for him seem to stem from Mark Penn’s sound bytes. It’s psychological, 5-10 word attacks that the illogical are particularly susceptible to, because they went to their water coolers and repeated the mindless accusations, over and over, all through the primaries, until a huge voting block believed it.
FACE IT. You have all fallen victim to the same kind of psychological attacks as those that befell Kerry in 2004 — calculated, Karl Rove-style attacks from a brilliant political strategist in Mark Penn. Penn even wrote a book, Microtrends, outlying how to take advantage of people’s tendency to believe and repeat whatever they want to hear. Hillary got you to do it in the primary, and unfortunately her plan is backfiring today, as you still rabidly support her DESPITE her urging you to please vote for Obama, a coworker whom she respects.

McCain Sets a New Record: 10 Flip-Flops in Two Weeks
http://www.crooksandliars.com/2008/06/16/mccain-sets-a-new-record-10-flip-flops-in-two-weeks/

Gore there to give him pointers on lying and hypocrisy?

AS AN ASIDE: The ABC snooze network who turned on Al Gore on purpose during the 2000 campaign, especially in a glaring piece of evidence at the democratic convention introudeuced by the now deceased peter jennings, is probably behind the many spelling errors in this article as you can see above in said article. CUE MASH MUSIC…that is all

I am astonished by some comments. Al Gore, a Nobel winner and admired around this world for his concern for our planet, is referred to as “Loser” or characterized as some lunatic from a psycho ward. I’ll tell you what’s lunacy – the extinction of plant life and species know to this world long before “anti-Gore” elements were even contemplated. I’ll also have those look at mountain top removal (MTR) by Corporate interests claiming that we must preserve coal miners labor as they reduce their numbers and bring in machinery (operated by a few men) that removes mountains, creates stream polution and flattens land. Not a problem – nope not to anyone who considers Gore on the wrong side of logic – but then again, those are ones who probably voted for Bush (not once, but twice) – enough said.

Maybe they can join forces to rid the world of Man-Bear-Pig.

O-blah-blah-bama has no experience and poor judgement, how can anyone vote for a guy that accepts real estate bribes from a Chicago slum lord?

Of course Gore would endorse Obama. But this does provide a nice opportunity to chat about the vaunted Obama-Gore ticket. Dream Ticket 2?
http://www.political-buzz.com/

Ironic that Gore is supporting a candidate who stole the nomination the same way the election was stolen from him.

Bush administration was run by Cheney with so many years of experience. Look where it got us. We are in a hole today because of poor judgment shown by people surrounding Bush

Aiyiyi. The crook Al Gore. When this guy stops flying around in private jets and tells his celeb friends to stop doing the same, then I’ll believe global warming is real. Even if you do believe it is real, why is it that Mars, Neptune, and far off Pluto are heating up? If you have doubts about the official story behind the planet’s climate changing up, or want some more info, just look at this:
http://warofillusions.wordpress.com/2008/04/18/they-blinded-us-with-pseudoscience-the-global-warming-con/

I admire Al Gore, but will have to skip his advice on this one. You won’t have to worry about Obama receiving any Nobel
Prizes, unless they give one for poor judgement of character in picking friends like Rezko, Ayers and Wright.

Duh.. did you think he’d support McCain? he’s a democrat… Quit making it story #1 everytime Obama gets an endorsement or makes a speach or goes to the bathroom and do some fair&balanced reporting on the election!

Al Gore has done some good things, like running with Bill Clinton.
But, when it came to standing up to George W. Bush, he didn’t.
Now, he proves he is a loyal, party-line Democrat.
Al, you should have quit when you were ahead.

Max -
ditto.

HOW many ways can we say it:
We WILL NOT NOT NOT Vote for Obama!
The MILLIONS of Hillary supporters will NOT Unite – Not come together for the party – NOT Vote for Obama – not due to race, or spite – but because obama is NOT qualified to lead our country -he will not be elected due to his RADICAL and questionable background. Obama is a FRAUD – we do NOT trust, respect or even like him. CLEAR NOW????

Big Deal………

Molly: I agree with you 100%. Obama needs all the help he can get because he wouldn’t know what to do from day one. And why did Al Gore want to endorse Obama so late? Why didn’t he endorse Hillary? Bill Clinton did him a favor by picking him as the VP and this is what he does? No thanks. I am not voting for Obama. I will either write Hillary in or vote McCain.Is Gore looking for the VP job like Edwards? I hope McCain beats out Obama and all Hillary’s female votes vote McCain.

Gore is also a man of multiple personalities, a sure sign of pathology. When he spoke at a black church he assumed the personality of a black preacher, using the same kind of body language, voice modulation, and rhetoric, trying to whip up the congregation into a frenzy not for God but for Gore. Sometimes he rants and raves like a demagogue, using emotional arguments instead of common sense. He changes his personality to suit the occasion. That’s why everyone wants to know who is the real Al Gore.

Yep McCain has missed a lot of votes….and so has Obama they are running neck in neck on that one.
If you look at the number of times that they voted across party lines however you will notice that Obama doesn’t have much of a track record for crossing the aisle.

Some of Hillary supporters never reallt supported her for her strength, smarts, or experience. They only supported her because she is a woman. That’s it. Whether she had 7 years of 1/2 a year, it wouldn’t have made one bit of difference in the eyes of them. She is a white woman.
This has been proven by the fact that NOT ONE Hillary/McCain supporter can answer the following very simple question:
WHy is John McCain better than Barack Obama but not better than Hillary Clinton?

We need to find Albert Einstiens DNA and a match then we can solve Global warming, but Gore for VP does not sound like a winner to be he is far from Albert Einstien.
Seach for DNA for ALbert Einstien I’ll vote for that

John McCain is too grounded in Washington and has too many scandals under his belt.
He stumbles every day and looks like he struggles just to keep up with whats going on.
The man isn’t “fit” to be President.

I did not realize that Howard Dean was so tough that he could bully Al Gore and even THE CLINTONS!!!!
Next thing you know Dean will be dragging Bush out the Oval Office and shaking him down for DNC contributions. Dean is the biggest Bully in Washington Blahhhhhhhhh!! LOL

NEVER IN MY LIFE HAVE I SEEN REPUBLICANS SO OUT OF TOUCH AND DIS-JOINTED. THEY NOW PASS THEMSELVES OFF AS HILLARY SUPPORTERS – HEY NOBODY CARES ABOUT YOUR VOTE. SO YOU KNOW WHERE TO STUFF IT. “CLUE” WHERE THE SUN’S NEVER SHOWN. THE SWEETNESS OF OBAMA’S VICTORY IN THE GE WILL BE GREATLY ENHANCED BECAUSE OF YOUR LAME ATTEMPT TO COST HIM VOTES! – SEE YOU AT OBAMA’S INAUGURATION AS PRESIDENT IN JANUARY. LMAO

Money, Money, Money, Money $$$$$$$$
Fundraising Cronies: A Nasty Bunch of Characters
Even more than Bill Clinton, Al Gore has been a money raising machine (though nothing quite like George W. Bush). In one memo, Gore bragged “I did three events this week which were projected to raise $650,000 and … actually raised $800,000. Tipper and I were supposed to do $1.1 million, and it looks like we will be closer to $1.3 million.” Washington Post reporter Bob Woodward estimates that Gore and his network raised fully $40 million of the Democratic National Committee’s $180 million total in 1995 and 1996.
In the process, Gore has been kissing up to a lot of characters with checkered pasts (and/or convictions.) Frankly, whether Gore made phone calls from his office is piddly business. But spending time with accused or convicted criminals if they have money to give is a much more serious concern for a potential president.
Here are some of Al’s business associates:
convicted cocaine smuggler Jose Cabrera
Howard Glicken, who admitted soliciting and laundering foreign campaign contributions
Franklin Haney, indicted for illegal campaign contributions
Jose Cabrera, convicted cocaine smuggler
Jose “Gordito” Cabrera is serving 19 years in prison for smuggling cocaine; he was caught in January 1996 with 3 tons of Cali cartel cocaine and (maybe worse from Gore’s point of view) boxes of smuggled Cuban cigars. Earlier, he pled guilty to conspiracy to bribe a witness in a drug investigation (in 1983) and to income tax evasion in connection with another drug investigation (in 1988). He served 3 and a half years in prison on the first charge, just a year on the second. d Al Gore??????

Guess Al Gore doesn’t do much internet research even though he supposedly invented the internet and all. Obama’s campaign think he’ll win Michigan so they claim they’re not worried about losing Florida and Ohio. Not gonna happen. Michigan will go to McCain! JustSayNoDeal.com PUMAs Rule!

No surprises in Gore’s endorement. So line Obama up with all the other waaaay Far Left DNC losers…Carter, Kerry, Mondale, and, especially, McGovern, who won the 1972 primary in a landslide and then lost the general election in a landslide.
I supported Hillary for a multitude of reasons, but I could never vote for Obama. In addition to his lack of solid experience, I strongly question his character, judgment, life choices and parts of his past. As they say…. YOU ARE KNOWN BY THE COMPANY YOU KEEP AND THE CHOICES YOU MAKE ….and I really don’t like what I see. Too much bad baggage.
So my vote will go to McCain and my party affiliation with change to Republican. The DNC lost me forever a couple of weeks ago when the Rules Committee pushed, shoved and dragged Obama over the finish line to crown him their prince….even giving him some of Hillary’s delegates from Michigan (what an insult to her!). It was a fixed election. Obama was selected….not elected.
Adios, Obama…..adios, DNC!
McCain – 2008 His values more accurately reflect mine, and at least he is an honorable and decent man.
And no…he’s not another term of Bush…although I suspect Obama would be another term of Carter, and I well remember what a disaster that was.

Marie in California – Obama is no further left than Hillary Clinton. BUt if your values are more in line with McCain, then by all means vote for him! But quit whining about the rules committee. Noting they did affected the outcome of the nomination.

Why are people are so slow??
The MI delegation gave the delegates to Obama, not the DNC.

MichiganPUMA – Well, Gore never claimed to have invented the internet, but some people will believe anything. Oh and good lick on that Michigan thing. McCain is toast.

How wonderful….. getting endorsed by a Loser who is getting rich off of scaring the American Public over global warming

BillyBob:
Why is Gore Looser? Please add more to your post than just name calling. How can we agree with you unlest you give us a list of why you think he is a looser. Facts Please!

Bridgitte: Why do you have this fixation with Obama’s Middle name. His parents named him. So, all people named John are evil too? John Wilks Booth who Shot Lincoln? How about Mary? Queen of England that was called Bloody Mary for all the people she had killed? How about Joseph, Joseph Stalin. I could go on. There is really nothng in a Name. I could probably pick any name (including yours) and find someone who was evil. Give it a rest.

I know what a Puma is but what does it have to do with Hillary. I googled it thinking there was a group but when I got to page 10 and found nothing I felt it was nothing very important.

Why is Obama denying his connection to Odinga?
New York The Sun
The Kenya Connection
By DANIEL JOHNSON
January 10, 2008
As he reminded us again after losing narrowly to Hillary Clinton in New Hampshire, Barack Obama likes to evoke Martin Luther King’s “I have a dream” speech.
Share Share Email
We must all hope that, like King’s, Mr. Obama’s dream is “deeply rooted in the American dream.” But before giving him the keys to the White House, Americans might like to know a little more about the content of Mr. Obama’s dream.
Let me propose an unlikely place to start looking: Kenya. Even in the midst of the primaries, the horrific scenes from that country since the disputed election on December 27 will not have escaped most people. In particular, the burning of a church with up to 50 men, women, and children inside, while machete-armed mobs slaughter up to 600 more people, have evoked memories of the Rwandan genocide of 1994.
Who is behind these massacres? The opposition leader, Raila Odinga, has had a good press in the West, after he accused the president, Mwai Kibaki, of rigging the election. But the victims of the recent violence have mostly been members of Mr. Kibaki’s tribe, the Kikuyu, while those who have gone berserk are supporters of Mr. Odinga’s Orange Democratic Movement, which is dominated by the rival Luo tribe.
Whether Mr. Odinga has ordered his men to commit murder and arson is unclear. But his own background does not exactly suggest enthusiasm for democracy and the rule of law. Mr. Odinga’s father, Oginga Odinga, led the Communist opposition during the Cold War and Raila Odinga was educated in Communist East Germany.
In 1982 he was implicated in a failed coup against the then president Daniel Arap Moi. His eldest son is named after Fidel Castro and his daughter after Winnie Mandela.
Even more sinister has been Mr. Odinga’s electoral pact with the National Muslim Leaders’ Forum — a hardline Islamist organization that represents Kenya’s Muslim minority. According to this document, dated August 29, 2007, Mr. Odinga promised the Muslim leaders that, if elected, he would establish Sharia courts, not only in the northern and coastal regions where Kenyan Muslims are concentrated, but throughout the country.
He also promised to impose Muslim dress codes on women, ban alcohol and pork, indoctrinate children, ban Christian preaching, and dismiss the Commissioner of Police “who has allowed himself to be used by heathens and Zionists.”
In short, Mr. Odinga in effect offered to Islamize Kenya in return for Muslim votes, despite the fact that Muslims make up only 10% of the population, compared to the 80% who are Christian. Mr. Odinga himself is nominally an Anglican, yet he signed a document that refers to Islam throughout as “the one true religion” and denigrates Christians as “worshippers of the cross.”
Whether it is likely, as Mr. Odinga claims, that his party won the election with such a program, only to have it stolen by Mr. Kibaki, I cannot say. Nor am I qualified to speculate about why Mr. Odinga threw in his lot with the Islamists. It should certainly concern us that one of Africa’s most stable and pro-Western countries is apparently threatened with the same grim fate that has befallen other East African states, such as Sudan and Somalia.
What, you will be asking by now, what does any of this have to do with Barack Obama? Well, Mr. Obama’s father came from Kenya and his son is proud to call himself a Luo. His Kenyan relations boast that, even if they cannot get a Luo into the Kenyan presidential residence, they can look forward to a Luo in the White House.
Indeed, the connection may be even closer than a tribal one. Mr. Odinga even claims that Mr. Obama is his cousin, because the senator’s father was Mr. Odinga’s maternal uncle. Whether or not this true, the two men are friends and political allies.
In August 2006, Mr. Obama visited Kenya and spoke in support of Mr. Odinga’s candidacy at rallies in Nairobi. The Web site Atlas Shrugs has even posted a photograph of the two men side by side. More recently, Mr. Odinga says that Mr. Obama interrupted his campaigning in New Hampshire to have a telephone conversation with his African cousin about the constitutional crisis in Kenya.
What should Americans make of Mr. Obama’s Kenyan connection? If he has been putting tribal or family considerations above America’s national interest by supporting Mr. Odinga’s anti-Western candidacy, it raises serious questions about his judgement.
At the time of his visit in 2006, President Kibaki’s spokesman complained that Mr. Obama was behaving like a “stooge” of Mr. Odinga — which was at best undignified for a visiting American senator, and at worst unwarranted interference in the internal politics of another country.
Even more serious are the doubts raised by Mr. Obama’s attitude toward Islam, which has so far received much less scrutiny than might be expected in a post-September 11 presidential election.
If Mr. Obama did not know about Mr. Odinga’s electoral deal with the Kenyan Islamists when he offered his support, then he should have known. If he did know, then he is guilty of lending the prestige of his office to America’s enemies in the global war on terror. We need to know exactly what Mr. Obama knew about Mr. Odinga, and precisely when he knew it.

Gee, another loser elitist comes out for Obama. Now there’s some “change.” Al’s okay but his desperate attempt to pull the party together for Obama is rather sad. Unfortunately, all the king’s horses and all the king’s men, couldn’t put Humpty “Dem”pty back together again. Keep bailing the water out of that sinking Obama ship!

Obama admits he smoked cocaine and is running on a campaign theme of asking for change. Your change. All your change.

I don’t trust Obama to walk my dog let alone to lead this great nation!
Hillary/John McCain 08

DemsUnited,
John McCain is a fighter and so Hillary is! Their patriotism is unquestionable!
Obama and his wife = anti-Americans!

Did you know that before cars or oil or a large population of humans there was a Medieval Warm Period (MWP) in Europe, Iceland and Greenland and people thrived. Al Core and his buddy Obama have never explained how this could be given the evil man made C02 was not a factor. Guess it’s because this would spoil their plans for a government take over of the private sector and confiscation of all our money.
Vikings During the Medieval Warm Period (MWP)
During the years 800-1200, Iceland and Greenland were settled by the Vikings.
distances.
The very warm climate during the MWP allowed this great migration to flourish. Drift ice posed the greatest hazard to sailors but reports of drift ice in old records do not appear until the thirteenth century (Bryson, 1977.) The warmer climate would also result in a greater harvest in Iceland than would be experienced today so the land must have looked more inviting in the past than it does today.

So Al Gore endorsed Obama. What’s the big deal?
The real story is that Obama promises to have Al Gore as part of his administration. Head of the to be formed CTWW or Carbon Tax the Working White.

Human nature dictates that if people are not rewarded for their work they just won’t work, unless you force them too. That is what socialism is all about. Take the peoples money by force of law, turn it over too a bunch of faceless self-serving government workers who could care less about you, and maybe some of the money might trickle back down to the favored few. The choice is between getting benefit from the free use of your labor or capital, capitalism, versus the government by force of law taking your money from you and using it to increase the size of the government, socialism. Obama is so hell bent on imposing socialism on all of us because it will allow him to throw the peoples money away on his pet projects or give the money to his Rezko type buddies. Sounds a lot like slavery to me.

The Obama Rezco connection keeps nipping at Obama’s heels.

Sen. Obama, it’s called blowback; those Illinois Combine deals are nipping at your heels (Updated 3x)
Fellow blogger Bill Baar just forwarded a posting from Rich Miller’s The Capitol Fax Blog in which Miller informs us that “Congresscritter Rahm Emanuel says Obama helped get Blagojevich elected…”
“I’ve known [Obama] a long time. We used to sit around helping our governor get elected, help those strategy meetings, stuff like that.”
“I don’t recall ever hearing about this,” Miller wrote, “but the Republicans now have an avenue to directly connect presidential candidate Barack Obama to our embattled, investigated, unpopular and all but humiliated Gov. Rod Blagojevich.”
On the Sunday, June 15, 2008, John Batchelor WABC radio show, Evelyn Pringle, chronicler of Operation Board Games and any number of Rezko, Obama, and Illinois Combine misdeeds, speculated that Gov. Blagojevich will be impeached but most likely not until after the August Democratic convention in Denver.
Is it possible that Emanuel’s claims and Sen. Obama’s involvement in Blagojevich’s election success will leave less wiggle room than other Obama entanglements?
There are a few things to keep in mind:
# 1. It was only last week that the 14-page memo from Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan was sent to “Democratic legislative candidates that outlines ‘talking points’ in favor of launching ‘impeachment proceedings’ against Gov. Blagojevich.
# 2. RW pointed out in the March 30, 2008, post DOJ Exhibit: Rezko’s Dirty Money—which discussed Prosecution exhibit: FBI analysis of Rezko fundraising for Blagojevich 2001-2004—that many of the same contributors who gave so generously to Blagojevich’s campaign via Tony Rezko also contributed to Obama’s political campaign coffers.
# 3. Evelyn Pringle pointed out in her series of articles that when a board deal went down in Illinois, and pay-to-play money exchanged hands, Blagojevich got his cut, and Obama got his.
Updates
# #1: And let’s not forget about John Thomas, the FBI mole who, in 2004 and 2005, “logged frequent visits” to Rezko’s office by both Obama and Blagojevich.
# #2: From the Department of Rats Leaving a Sinking Ship comes these interesting tidbits from the Springfield, Ill., May 18, 2008, The State Journal-Register:
Former State Sen. CAROL RONEN, D-Chicago, who left the Senate to join the administration of Gov. ROD BLAGOJEVICH several weeks ago, has left that job and says she’ll volunteer on the presidential campaign of U.S. Sen. BARACK OBAMA, D-Ill. … In the Senate, Ronen had been one of a handful of Blagojevich allies. If that’s changed, she’s not letting on.

this comes at the right time and it is sooo good for obama and democrats. it is in fact, the beginning of the end for mccain..

Wow! They’ve threatened Al, too! Thank You Hillary Clnton! We’ll take it from here! Stop Obama! Take back America! http://www.hcsfjm.com. Unite Hillary Supporters! All IS NOT LOST!

Oh Terry..you have such a way with words.Wrong words….but a way with them…Did you by chance beat your dog or wife today?

zbob22/try the truth..I know how you both like to find the TRUTH on blogs so I thought I would give you this one to look up…(Ayham al-Samurai)..He is an Iraqi who announced his support for armed operations against US troops..He also held a press conference sunday in Amman, the Jordanian capitol…announcing that he gave 2,300 dollars to the Obama campaign…whooops..

“Just keep repeating the same thing over and over!!You are a bunch of parrots”…
hahahaa Obamites, keep talking and shouting, all Hillary lovers will be back in November to boo you! Good bye Democrat, good bye Obama!

The hate mongers are out in force tonight. You claim to be Democrats but throw mud at Al Gore – a Nobel prize winner yet. Is your hate so imbedded becasue your candidate lost that you cannot recognize the acheivemens of Al Gore. And calling HIM an elitist – what about MCCain and his trophy wife to whom McCain refers to, in public, as a trollup and a cu**! THIS is the man you are going to vote for? “Wow, this one really spells trouble for the GOP this fall — the guy in charge of the party’s Senate races just basically wrote off the Republicans’ chances in two of their five open seats.In mast weeek’s Christian Science Monitor forum — the same venue where he upgraded the GOP’s goal to a potential three-seat loss — NRSC chairman John Ensign was asked point-blank if the party was giving up on the open seats they currently hold in Virginia and New Mexico, where the Democratic nominees are way ahead of the Republicans in current polling. Ensign said bluntly: “You don’t waste money on races that don’t need or you can’t win.” (TPM)

sandy, not all people put party before principle. Obama, and his wife are racist bigots (researchable fact)who have ZERO experience, and a whole lot of very shady associations. You need to snap out of this delusion. The man has the most liber record in the senate.Why doesnt it matter to you that he Chose a black liberation church, and remained there with his family 20 years??? Have you all lost your minds?

Hillary/John McCain 08
Hillary supporters, please check it out.

Obama, don’t worry our next generation will vote for you in 2108! ooopppp!! may be another life!

joseph1 – if you have any principles, how can you support McCain? John McCain running an ad for “Army Wives”. Really amusing coming from a man who dumped the wife who stuck by him through his years as a POW for a younger, richer and more attractive model. And just odd that he claims it’s the 2nd wife is the one telling everyone to watch “Army Wives”.A couple Embarrassing items in McCain’s Past….. 1. When he graduated from Annapolis, there were 899 Midshipmen in his class. Ensign John McCain graduated 894th —- 5th from the bottom. 2. When he became a Navy jet pilot, you’re normally allowed to ditch just one of those multi-million dollar jets in the drink. McCain put, count ‘em, FIVE of them into the drink. Even by an average accountant’s reckoning, and let’s assume that the CPA is a Republican, that’s up to 100 million tax payer bucks down the drain. Against Roe vs. Wade, against a woman’s right for equal pay for equal work, wants more Americans brought home in body bags, against the anti-torture bill, voted against the GI Bill, how is he planning on for the war, given his call for tax
cuts, against habeus corpus, combine that with ditching your former model wife after she’s in a life-threatening accident that changes her appearance, have an affair with an heiress, while you’re on 100% disability from the military, getting social security AND holding down a job as a senator….what a winner you are supporting!!!
you want more …I am loaded!

Why does anyone feel Hillary was wronged when half the country voted for Obama. This country was split so please don’t think the nomination was stolen from her. She ran a very bad campaign. This was hers to lose from the beginning.

How ironic that Gore endorses Obammy in Detroit since the UAW can’t stand Gore for what he’s done to the auto industry. Gore’s endorsement means nothing for Obammy…as someone has said, most people thinks he’s a quack anyway. Just another loser supporting a loser.

We will VOTE for our country – NOT the party. The DNC has selected the WEAK candidate that will never be elected President of the USA. Obama is a FRAUD and is NOT qualified to lead our country. So…2nd Choice is McCain – he will take good care of us – can you really say that about obama???

erin, lydia – glad to see some sanity here tonight also note from several MSM and Internets sources and polls – Senator Obama now 61% of the female vote to McCain’s 32% (CNN, amon others). Senator Obama also pulled ahead in VA today for the first time – 45-44%-wow! Last week McCain was 9 points ahead! (Rasmussen Reports plus others).

Molly – “Obama is a FRAUD and is NOT qualified to lead our country.’ Word for word from the Hillary site – proof please, links please – do you have anything but hot, unsubstantiated hot air?

I still have great respect for Al Gore to wait until now. I am not so sure about other Dem leaders that took side at early stage, and wanted Clinton to stop before the due process was over.

In 2004, John Kerry ahead Bush in the polls, the result is…..
This year, Democrat is evenly split and we are among 18,000,000 of that big chunk!
Of 18,000,000 Hillary supporters, 30% will NOT vote for your savior Obama!
Of 18,000,000 Hillary supporters, 30% will NOT vote for your savior Obama!
Of 18,000,000 Hillary supporters, 30% will NOT vote for your savior Obama!
Of 18,000,000 Hillary supporters, 30% will NOT vote for your savior Obama!

sandy, glad to hear the stats on women supporting Obama by such a big margin over McCain. Just goes to prove real Hillary supporters are true Dems. They would never vote for McCain, a pro-war, candidate who insanely voted against the recent improvement to the GI bill for our vets. True Dems want to support our brave vets with more than a car magnet. True Dems do not like McCain’s promise to continue the tax breaks for the rich.
Obama has the right idea, tax breaks for the middle-class and the poor. And let the elderly ‘retire with dignity’ with the help of no income tax if they make under $50,000. Obama’s ideas are all about helping the ordinary American citizen. I am glad Al Gore so eloquently endorsed him tonight. He has really improved his speech giving with his energy and passion clearly visible.

Even more information on how lame Obama is and how he is lying to the American Public with his health care proposals:
These rosy projections make universal health care seem almost painless, particularly when the savings estimates far outweigh the costs of Obama’s plan (his campaign projects $50 billion to $65 billion a year in new government funds). But it’s highly questionable that Obama could reach the level of savings he touts within one term. The RAND study on which the Obama campaign partially bases its savings estimates assumes we won’t see widespread adoption – or the full $77 billion in estimated savings – until 2019. Experts we interviewed doubted Obama could prompt widespread adoption within one or even two presidential terms. Adoption of electronic health records has been crawling along in the U.S. In fact, even an Obama adviser says it will take at least five years to foster widespread use. Plus, it’s unknown whether the RAND estimates will turn out to be correct: The study recently was criticized by the Congressional Budget Office as an overly optimistic best-case scenario.

Yes 18 million also voted for Obama. So how do you figure it was stolen.

Will – I can remeber McCain having telepromter problwms of his own of his own – and then of course… needs Liebrmann at his elbow so Mccain can keep his stories straight, Mccain wants another expensive endless military presence like Korea in Iraq and more than likely Iran, has no energy policy other than to put Cheney in his cabinet, #1 cheerleader for the Iraq War, claimed moral high ground on the Military Commissions Act (using his POW credentials)… and then using that leverage to ratify torture and the suspension of habeas corpus, part of the Keating Five member, taunchly anti-choice and against any form of birth control rights, solution to Bush’s failed economy? making Bush’s tax cuts for the wealthy permanent, promises that, as Commander-in-Chief, he would delegate the decision on whether to stay in Iraq (to General Petraeus, guilty of misogyny (publicly calling his wife the C-word, treating a question about “the bitch” as a legitimate one, and his demeaning joke about Chelsea Clinton), calling Hillary a bit**, knee-capped his friend John Kerry, e.g., by joining the fauxtrage over the “botched joke,” plays footsie with the Religious Right (Obama’s also vulnerable on church-state, but it’s still worth documenting McCain’s sins in this area — Hagee, etc.), accepts $58K per year for military retirement and disability, but votes against benefits for veterans. He is a hypocrite plain and simple. For more info check reason.com website

sue – only if you live in a parallel universe! Hillary’s supporters drifting slowly but surely to Obama’s camp – it will be down by 10% by the GE…balanced by the disgruntled Republicans plus the Independents. Great story today about the Evangelical vote…..Evangelical biographer warms to Obama. The conservative Evangelical biographer of George W. Bush and Tom DeLay has moved on to a new subject: Barack Obama. And his new book, due out this summer, may lend credibility to Senator Obama’s bid to win Evangelical Christian voters away from the Republican Party. The forthcoming volume from Stephen Mansfield, whose sympathetic “The Faith of George W. Bush” spent 15 weeks on the New York Times bestseller list in 2004, is titled “The Faith of Barack Obama.” Its tone ranges from gently critical to gushing, and the author defends Obama-and even his controversial former minister, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright-from conservative critics, and portrays him as a compelling figure for Christian voters. “Young Evangelicals are saying, ‘Look, I’m pro-life but I’m looking at a guy who’s first of all black-and they love that; two, who’s a Christian; and three who believes faith should bear on public policy,” Mansfield, who described himself as a conservative Republican, said in a telephone interview. “They disagree with him on abortion, but they agree with him on poverty, on the war.”

Lydia and Sandy: Have you heard of the 28% Capital Gains tax that your boy Obama is proposing if elected? This means your tax on your 401(k) when you retire, the tax on your income from selling your house, the tax on dividends that you would receive from accumulating stock during your career would be taxed, and all of these at a higher rate. But yet you say that Obama will not raise taxes. Please, do your research before you post. It sounds stupid some of the things you are posting without proof. However, most followers are like their leaders, in this case, “empty suits with no substance”. The capital gains tax is only part of it. I’ve posted and given proof of how Obama has lied about cutting health care cost to American families. He’s saying things you want to hear, but no plan to back up his rhetoric. I’m not advocating that you vote for McCain or anyone else, but please do your research on Obama. He has a hidden agenda that will not be good for America, and I pray, very sincerely, that he will NOT be elected President. If he is, America will enter into a time of darkness unlike any previous time in history.

Please do a survey in your own community or your church to see how many Hillary supporters will go out to vote for Obama in November. I did a few weeks ago in my church, out of 120 people, only three will vote for Obama!
Don’t need to tell me if you go to a black church!

Sue blue states will go blue no matter what. So I guess it’s up to the swing states. And some are into play this year.

John… I always site my sources – the Evangelical story was in the Baltimore Sun…with quotes from the author himself – have a problem reading?

Obama’s tax plan will hurt the American public trememdously:
You can debate what’s fair or not fair in terms of taxes all day long. But at the end of the day there can’t be much dispute that Obama is proposing significant tax hikes on Americans.
Sure, there are some folks at the lower end of the income tax brackets who will see their income taxes go down. Sure. That’s great. I am all in favor of people’s taxes going down. For sure.
But at the higher range of the tax brackets people are going to see their taxes go up significantly.
This will hurt the economy. These folks will have less to invest, less to spend, consumer spending will decline, and I believe our economy will suffer as a result.
But perhaps the most startling of Obama’s plans involves significantly ratcheting up the tax on employers–the FICA tax. Right now employers pay 6.2% on all wages up to $102,000. Obama proposes repealing this cap. This will cause tax costs to increase significantly. If labor costs more, employers won’t be able to afford as much of it and will fire people.
Sure, Obama, if elected, will do some good things. No doubt. Just as McCain, if elected, will do some good things. Both will probably do some things we all disagree with as well.
But I am voting with my pocketbook and based on who I believe will hurt the economy least.
I believe that is McCain.

I think Sandy and Lydia have been drinking too much of the Obama “Kool-Aid” this evening!

Will – sorry – never drink the stuff – and I support my posts with links or sources.

1) Obama thinks climate change is gradually becoming a political negative. Obama’s climate-change plan would make reducing carbon emissions the fundamental organizing principle of the American economy. But he mentioned it only once in his long speech on economic policy—and merely in passing at that. Can you imagine a Reagan speech in 1980 with only a single, brief mention of tax cuts? But you can’t really blame Obama. Do people actually want to hear about why they should be paying even more for energy with gas at $4 a gallon?

Write in Hillary!
Write off Democrat party!
Vote for the country!
Be Independent!

Now that Al Gore has jumped on the
Obama Bandwagon I guess he will join
John Edwards, Hillary Clinton, and
Barack Obama in a chorus of Kumbaya on
election night after John McCain wins!

To Average Joe regarding “How did Hillary Clinton get your E-Mail address?”
Response: “The same way obama got mine!”

What this story does not tell you conveniently was that when a woman speaker on the platform mentioned Hillary’s name, she was booes by the crowd. Whos is the divider in this party? Barak Obama and his supporters. As far as I am concerned, they have made their choice. They are still filled with hate and THEY won. What does that tell you about their attitude and the next four years. I will never vote for Obama.

Lydia, The reason America is collectively in trouble is all the Democrats fault.
– It is the Democrats fault that gas and food prices are so high.
– It is the Democrats fault that the war is Iraq has gone on so long and so many lives have been lost since it is the Democrats whose vocal opposition to the war has embolden the enemy and motivated them to continue fighting.
– It is the Democrats fault that we have a housing crisis.
Your envy of the so called rich is why Obama may have the opportunity to destroy the greatest most productive economy in the world via his socialistic idea of taxing the so called rich who are in large part small buisness. If Obama gets his way and does this, look for higher prices, layoffs and small business shutting their doors depriving all of us of their goods and services.
Welcome to third world America, Obama’s vision of change.

sandy, Obama is the senile one not McCain. Obama’s gaffes and lies are legion

Obama’s latest stunning gaffes
Clarice Feldman
How are we supposed to take this man seriously for the position of commander in chief? Little Green Footballs snags Obama in a stunning error, and it is not just the name of the town he is in or the number of states.
On Friday Barack Obama spelled out his Latin America policy [snip]:
Since the Bush Administration launched a misguided war in Iraq, its policy in the Americas has been negligent toward our friends, ineffective with our adversaries, disinterested in the challenges that matter in peoples’ lives, and incapable of advancing our interests in the region.
No wonder, then, that demagogues like Hugo Chavez have stepped into this vacuum.
This is pathetic. Hugo Chavez came to power during the Clinton Administration, and was first elected President of Venezuela in 1998, two years before the Bush Administration took office.
May 21, 2008 12:00 AM
Barack Gaffes
The Obama machine.
By Michelle Malkin
Last May, he claimed that tornadoes in Kansas killed a whopping 10,000 people: “In case you missed it, this week, there was a tragedy in Kansas. Ten thousand people died — an entire town destroyed.” The actual death toll: 12.
Earlier this month in Oregon, he redrew the map of the United States: “Over the last 15 months, we’ve traveled to every corner of the United States. I’ve now been in 57 states? I think one left to go.”
Last week, in front of a roaring Sioux Falls, S.D., audience, Obama exulted: “Thank you, Sioux City. … I said it wrong. I’ve been in Iowa for too long. I’m sorry.”
Explaining last week why he was trailing Hillary Clinton in Kentucky, Obama again botched basic geography: “Sen. Clinton, I think, is much better known, coming from a nearby state of Arkansas. So it’s not surprising that she would have an advantage in some of those states in the middle.” On what map is Arkansas closer to Kentucky than Illinois?
Obama has as much trouble with numbers as he has with maps. Last March, on the anniversary of the Bloody Sunday march in Selma, Ala., he claimed his parents united as a direct result of the civil rights movement: “There was something stirring across the country because of what happened in Selma, Ala., because some folks are willing to march across a bridge. So they got together and Barack Obama Jr. was born.”
Obama was born in 1961. The Selma march took place in 1965. His spokesman, Bill Burton, later explained that Obama was “speaking metaphorically about the civil-rights movement as a whole.”
Earlier this month in Cape Girardeau, Mo., Obama showed off his knowledge of the war in Afghanistan by homing in on a lack of translators: “We only have a certain number of them, and if they are all in Iraq, then it’s harder for us to use them in Afghanistan.” The real reason it’s “harder for us to use them” in Afghanistan: Iraqis speak Arabic or Kurdish. The Afghanis speak Pashto, Farsi, or other non-Arabic languages.
Over the weekend in Oregon, Obama pleaded ignorance of the decades-old, multibillion-dollar massive Hanford nuclear-waste cleanup: “Here’s something that you will rarely hear from a politician, and that is that I’m not familiar with the Hanford, uuuuhh, site, so I don’t know exactly what’s going on there. (Applause.) Now, having said that, I promise you I’ll learn about it by the time I leave here on the ride back to the airport.”
I assume on that ride, a staffer reminded him that he’s voted on at least one defense-authorization bill that addressed the “costs, schedules, and technical issues” dealing with the nation’s most contaminated nuclear-waste site.
Last March, the Chicago Tribune reported this little-noticed nugget about a fake autobiographical detail in Obama’s Dreams from My Father: “Then, there’s the copy of Life magazine that Obama presents as his racial awakening at age 9. In it, he wrote, was an article and two accompanying photographs of an African-American man physically and mentally scarred by his efforts to lighten his skin. In fact, the Life article and the photographs don’t exist, say the magazine’s own historians.”
And in perhaps the most seriously troubling set of gaffes of them all, Obama told a Portland crowd over the weekend that Iran doesn’t “pose a serious threat to us” — cluelessly arguing that “tiny countries” with small defense budgets can’t do us harm — and then promptly flip-flopped the next day, claiming, “I’ve made it clear for years that the threat from Iran is grave.”

Sandy, you may be praying for a Bush third term if Obama gets elected.
Every thing that is wrong today with America is the fault of the Democrats and if Obama is elected Obama will make things worse, far worse.
– The reason the Iraq war has gone on so long is because the Democrats vocal opposition to the war has embolden the enemy giving them aid and comfort and the motivation to continue fighting. Now that the surge is working in Iraq this is even more apparent and far more dangerous for the US if Obama gets his way and pulls defeat out of the jaws of victory. Ayham al-Samurai)..He is an Iraqi who announced his support for armed operations against US troops..He also held a press conference sunday in Amman, the Jordanian capitol…announcing that he gave 2,300 dollars to the Obama campaign. The fact that the enemies of America are donating money to Obama’s campaign should be a wake up call to even the most ardent Obama supporters.
– The reason oil prices are so high is not due to the “greed” of oil companies but due to the bone headed policy of the Democrats who have blocked President Bush’s proposal to drill for more oil here in the USA and to build new refineries. The Democrats are aware of the fact that if the oil supply was higher, oil prices would go down since it was the Democrats who threatened Saudi Arabia with cutting off US funding if Saudi Arabia did not increase their supply. Just ask Obama if gasoline goes up to $6.00 a gallon will he go ahead and allow drilling? Bet he won’t. Obama has already indicated that he thinks the $4.00/gallon cost for gas is just fine with him.
– The so called weak economy, including the housing crisis and high food costs, are due to the Democrats. The Democrats goaded loan companies into loaning money to people who could not afford the loans and than when these same people defaulted on their loans they blamed the loan companies for doing the bidding of the Democrats. As to high food prices, it was the Democrats who pushed for biofuels pushing the price of food up. Again high gas prices are also the fault of the Democrats who have consistently obstructed all efforts of President Bush to drill for oil here and build new refineries.
–As to global warming, in my view and there are a lot of scientist who agree with me, global warming is a hoax. Even so, it is a myth that President Bush has done nothing to stop global warming. In fact, C02 emissions have gone down under President Bush’s watch. In fact President Bush’s track record on reducing C02 emissions is better than Europes who implemented all of those cap and trade policies you Dems are so in love with and that enriched Al Gore’s bank accounts so much.
– As to more jobs leaving, the unemployment rate is 5 and 1/2% now that by all historical standards is quite low and peoples salaries have kept up with inflation to date. High gas and food prices are now hurting the pocket books of people, but again, put the blame where is belongs, on the heads of the Democrats.
–As to Supreme Court judges, you may want a royal Supreme Court packed with judges that sit on their thrones over ruling the will of the people and their elected representatives, as Obama wants. Sorry, I want the people and their elected representatives in the Executive and legislative branches of government with the power to make decision over my life, not nine unelected royal judges. We might as well go back and be ruled by the Kings of England if that’s the type of government you believe in.
Welcome to third world America, Obama’s vision of change, need I say more.
P.S. The prior post of mind was a summary of an earlier post from Harry.

Terry – if your arguements or should I say innduendous had an merit I would take the time to answer them – the Republicans have been in charge for 7 years that have … oh, forget it – no one can debate intelligently with a bobblehead who keeps repeating the same spin with no basis of fact…. I can make much better use of my time by going to bed …

Sandy, By the way, name calling is the typical tactic of an Obama supporter when they lose an argument.

Ann Miller: it is your right to vote or not vote. This is a free country. No one is trying to get you to bow down to Obama. But, the presidental Race should not have anything to do with personalities, but this issues. Instead of making a decision based on emotions, take a month and look at the facts on the issues. Then decide to vote or not. I just don’t get all this angry. We are suppose to be a civilized
county. Obviously, some of us are regressing to the stone age. Ugh

Terry:
Dirling for oil will still take time, so will not relieve the problems now. Anymore than thinking we will jump at saving 18cents a gallon. Ruining the enviroment for our needs now is not the answer. We need to explore alternative ideas. We are trying to save this planet for our children and grandchildren. So, we are going to drill and ruin our inviroment for 60 more years of fuel. We need renewable sources.

marmeesmomma: actually Clinton only had the popular vote if she did the math. There were many times that news commentators showed several ways of figuring it out and in only one way did she win the popular vote. So it is really how you look at it. Obama got 18 million votes also. It was very close. Lets move forward. The past is the past. Lets leave it there.

Lydia:
Right on!!! I wish I coul say it as well as you. Go Girl!!

I haven’t had a good look at Al Gore lately and I’m really stunned at his appearance. His eyes have nearly disappeared and he’s so portly! He was a handsome man in the 90s. He needs to whip himself into shape!

I didn’t vote for Gore in 2000 because he was running with Lieberman. I didn’t like Lieberman then, and I despise him now.

Sue:
If she did that, she would probably destroy her career in politics. She would get no support on the Hill and would have the republicans applauding her for destroying the democratic party. She is way smarter than that. Her own Supporters in the party told her to give it up. She is smart!

Gore for Obama. Never a doubt about his support for the Democratic party. But the fact that he is speaking out, and loudly, says a lot.
Thanks to the electorial college, we ended up with criminal Bush instead of a Nobel Prize winner as president. What’s wrong with this picture? A lot, unless you are some fundamentalist.

You are right Tracy, Gore’s footprint is mighty large. He is responsible for much global warming and adds more when he opens his mouth. Rich he is! FAT, DUMB, AND HAPPY!

M Guilford, I think you have it wrong. The Electoral College is in the Constitution…read it. Gore tried to steal the election from Bush in 2000. Remember all the military votes that he got thrown out? Gore is the ONE who went to the courts. He’s the one who wanted ONLY the recount in 4 heavily democrat counties in FL, and to hell with the other counties. Nobel Peace Prize is given to liberals given by liberals. It’s a love fest. Ngoma, Bush didn’t destroy American policies, the Dems did that on their own. They demanded from loaning institutions to give loans to anyone and look at the mortgage mess we are in! We are paying over $4.00 at the pump because Dems do not want us to be independant on oil! Clinton vetoed the ANWR bill that was passed by Congress in the mid 1990′s. The economic boom was because of the Republican led Congress in the 1990′s. We had an economic job increase after 9/11 because of the Bush’s tax cuts. The unemployement rate now is about the same during the Clinton years. We are still lower than most European countries and we pay much lower in taxes and oil costs. Barak has no leadership experience and no business experience. He even lied to the people of IL…he said he would not run for President but would serve the state of IL. What a liar funded by George Soros. Again, Gore and Obama, birds of a feather, flock together. And for Scar, where do I start? Under Reagan, the U.S. added over 35 million jobs. The prosperity during the clinton years was due to the republican congress. Wasn’t Clinton all for NAfTA? Every program a Democrat has enacted: income tax, medicare, medicaid and social security have ALL cost the American taxpayer more money! And as far as the U.N. enforced the “no fly zone” First, Bush went to the U.N. before going into Iraq. You Democrats talk about it’s all about oil, yes, it was about oil for FRANCE! The French were to benefit from $100 billion in oil contracts from Saddam. Ever heard of the oil for food scandal? The first resolution stated that Saddam had to comply to certain regulations and in 2003, he failed in doing so. The U.S. Air Force jets kept being shot down and Saddam kept kicking U.N. inspectors out. Are you going to tell your child for the 14th time, not to do something with no consequences? What about Sandy Bergler? He goes into the National archives and steals confidential papers and sticks them in his pants and then places them under a construction trailor and lies about it. This is during the 9/11 commission testimonies. You also site Pres. Bush’s daily briefing, yet the report did not give any specific threats to prevent it. It actually states what OBL had done previously (historic content) and what he could do. Here it is,”We have not been able to corrborate some of the sensational threat reporting, such as that from a …… service in 1998 saying that Bin Laden wanted to hijack a U.S. aircraft to release other terrorists that the U.S. held”. That is the report! So don’t twist the words to make your CASE! That is the media’s job. We now know the FBI and CIA could not talk and share info because of Clinton attorney Jamie Gorelick (sp?) I see that your arguments are without facts and are at most, flimsy.

McCain is better prepared and more qualified as President in 2008. McCain has campaign ads that support the environment. Gore as a past-Democrat candidate was fully expected to tow the party line and was pressured to endorse Obama. I can not forget my disappointment in VP Gore. When Gore ran as VP, Gore plugged environmental support and then did absolutely nothing to help the environment for 8 years while he was VP. He also did nothing to stop the trial debacle that we suffered through during the Clinton-Lewinsky hearings. Gore needs to stay in the education business. Gore is doing a great job in his new-found profession, which is a great help to benefit the world globally.
