More Obama Interview

Not sure how long the “no Florida or Ohio” strategy will stay viable for Obama. He needs to focus on spreading out McCain while remaining competitive in the swing states.

Good interview with sensible answers

“OBAMA: Well, keep in mind I haven’t opposed, for example, the national security surveillance program, the NSA program ”
Is he referring to any one program in particular, or all NSA programs in general?

Obama should be losing sleep at night, as he is only ahead of McCain by 3 points AFTER HILLARY DROPPED OUT AND HE SHOULD BE UP BY DOUBLE DIGITS! The more the average American finds out about him the worse off it’ll get, as we approach election day. His meteoric rise when he wasn’t “vetted” is long over..since he limped to the finish line, losing 9 out of the last 14 primaries. Hillary could do this job blindfolded yet he would be the most Advisor Driven President ever! Forget it….McCAIN ALL THE WAY!!!!

the new fear tactic: MAC will appoint judges who will overturn Roe vs Wade.
Hasn’t the left been using that one for years now? Has it happened?
The universe yawns.

Whoknows,
Obviously you are not aware that the next president will appoint 1-3 judges that will replace the more liberal judges.
Right now Roe vs Wade will be upheld 5 to 4 but if one liberal judge is replaced with another Alito or Scalia, it will be overturned.
This election is EXTREMELY serious for women.

I don’t want Roe vs Wade overturned. McCain even states he wants to overturn Roe vs Wade on his website.
I don’t want McCain as president.

“As a woman, I get really irked when a politician tries to list the issues that are important to “women”. We are all very different, with minds of our own, and issues that matter to us that have little to do with our gender. Kind of like men.”
What SHE said — broadly speaking.

The amount of money we have been throwing at the public school system in this country is rediculous – with pretty crummy results. Competition DOES work. Bring on the vouchers AND YES, if you’re wondering, I am a retired elementary teacher with many years in public and private school systems. McCain/Romney 08

“Competition DOES work.”
Maybe you could EXPLAIN that to us slow learners?
Especially how some public school in the ghetto “competes” with the fancy University of Chicago school where Obama’s kids go.

Obama will keep the nation safe from terrorism? THAT’S A WHOPPER!! That’s what Bush has been doing for eight years now while at the same time putting up with the PEOPLE DIED WHEN BUSH LIED morons. Oh, by the way, The LA Times which is a very liberal paper just came out with an editorial DENOUNCING THE BUSH LIED CROWD AND DFENDING BUSH’ justification for going into IRAQ!!

Choice will never be overturned and we are not turning the hands of time back to 1974…c’mon. Next.

Sonia…you’re right about the MSM. If BO was in a double digit lead it would be headline news every friggin day. If and when McCain gets his lead, I hope they give him the same coverage, as this is still being downplayed (Obama’s low poll numbers).

Debra,
Who cares what Obama’s supposed half-brother said about Obama in Kenya. His half-brother may not know Obama at all.
Again Obama has NEVER been Muslim and obviously isn’t now either.
The “Obama is a Muslim” mem is getting old.
Obama just gave a slamming speech in an African-American Christian church on Sunday about Fatherhood and there is a book coming out this Summer about Obama’s Christian faith written by the same conservative evangelical author that wrote about Bush’s Christian faith.
Should be an interesting read.

“Sonia…you’re right about the MSM.”
From now until the end of the Democratic Convention, nobody should pay the slightest heed to ANYthing the MSM — especially MSNBC and CNN — says about the whole subject.
Obama’s Father’s Day stuff will peeve off a good many people, when it gets around, and the revelations unwittingly unleashed by Malik Obama in Kenya will be huge. (Pray for his good health.)
Hijacking the DNC was a clever move, but not a smart one. Trying to cancel the convention — or, God help us all, Al Gore — may turn out to have been the last straw . . .

Nancy…too little too late regarding Obama’s religion of choice. Muslim, Black Liberation Theology…however you want to slice it, most Christians WILL question it.

“Not exactly a very good comparison. The U of Chi versus the local elementary? Here in Cleveland, parents are craving for vouchers – limited amount of money available. With reasonably level playing fields – VOUCHERS DO WORK. Obama and the teacher’s union are in the tank together. SURPRISE??”
This goes back to Obama’s years of employment by corporate “education” hustlers in Chicago.
Vouchers work only if next-to-nobody uses them. And the price of gasoline is going to throw a monkeywrench into the stupid practice of bussing kids for miles to “better” schools, instead of DELIBERATELY making education worse and worse for the poor.
The teachers union is indeed a foul and corrupt organization. Better they should pay teachers like generals and politicians, and politicians and generals like public school teachers. THAT might work. :^)

kat….WRONG!

I just watched Obama’s interview re his talk with the foreign minister of Iraq. THAT WAS JUST BLOODY AWFUL – HE KEPT LOOKING AROUND – FOR WHAT….A TELEPROPMTER?

“Obama was responsible for “Friends” and “Seinfeld” ending.”
Not that there’s anything WRONG with that . . .

Kat.
More and more “mainstream” Christians are returning to the christian base because the large churches have gotten away from the fundamental reasons for their existence. This movement away from mainline churches has been going on for many years now for the same reasons you brought up – more love of God and less politicising from the pulpit especially when hate is preached .

Margaret Atwood wrote a chilling book on the rise of Christian fundamentalism in Handmaiden’s Tale. It was a fictional work from the 80′s , but quite prescient on the influence of extreme right Christianity on government.
I reiterate. The agenda of Christian fundamentalism is a lot more ominous than Black Liberation Theology.

i support hillary. however in all fairness to jake a concerted effort to shove out hillary was the dnc theme of the primary election in general. the script was written by the fat cats party insiders, the dnc, and the media. hard to stay current off topic you know what i mean.

“Most mainstream Christians have far more issues with the ilk of Hagee and extreme fundamentalism than they do with Black Liberation Theology.”
Most people aren’t knowledgeable about Black Liberation Theology. Many that are don’t see it as a positive belief system or an acceptable one. McCain will falter as Clinton did if he does not take this issue straight to Obama to uncover his beliefs about the church where he spent twenty years with his family.
Obama doesn’t believe in Black Liberation Theology. Obama believes in Obama.

What soft questions! A weak interview in my opinion. Another softball.

The truth of the matter is that Black Liberation Theology is a perverted branch of Christian Fundamentalism.
Even with the Islamic parallels the more radical BLT is as much about attacking political targets from the pulpit and advocating hate and victimization to attempt to motivate. Cone’s ideas mixed up with and unhealthy dose of Farrakans creation is nothing short of poison.
Any attempts to compare the recent and I believe inherent rantings that Obama has been sitting through to 20 year old comments which Hagee apologized to Jewish leaders for is unfair.
I am not fond of “Fire and Brimestone” preaching but it’s nothing compared to the hate and profane attacks of political opponents that are commonplace in a church that Obama attended for 20 years.
I would not care for a president who had no idea that hate was being taught in his own church. I don’t care so much either for a guy that lies and says he never read the church newsletter or heard any of this race rhetoric.
I would have not sat through even one of these services. I would like a president that can leave such a service. And why in the world is this guy preaching? Running his campaign from behind a pulpit really is hypocritical.
