The Note: Ex-Rivals Still Plague Obama

My problem with Barack Obama is the fact that as president, he will name at least one and probably two Supreme Court justices. As much as I’d like to see abortion kept legal, I have a bigger concern. McCain promises to appoint judges who will decide cases based on the constitution and laws are they are written. Obama has said that he wants judges who are “more sympathetic” to people. To what people? Obama claims he does not favor affirmative action based on race or ethnicity. However, when Ward Connerly, a conservative black man in Michigan, tried to get laws passed to end affirmative action a couple of years ago, Obama taped radio ads opposing him and arguing for affirmative action. Obama also avoids the topic of reparations. However, his radical black church calls for reparations, and I believe Obama agrees with that position. Otherwise, why would he consistently avoid the subject when asked? As Rush Limbaugh says, people who support reparations want to take money from people who never owned slaves, and give it to people who never were slaves. For this reason, above all, I am voting Republican for the very first time in my life, not only for President but for every other office on the ballot. As a Democrat, I do not want to see my own party in power. The Democrats are unable to win a national election without the overwhelming support of the black community. If it takes more affirmative action, reparations, etc. to keep the black community onboard, the Democrats will do it, regardless of its effect on other groups. I am afraid I am done with the Democratic Party.

Edwards no. Hillary maybe thinking that Obama supporters are more pragmatic than her’s, and she would be correct, but perhaps we would find a more pragmatic candidate, than her,

I agree with an above post. Come October, no one will remember Edwards, and Clinton will be a distant thought.
This election is about the candidates still running.

They are napping right now Paul.
Edwards has done nothing worse than McCain and he is running for president. 2 faced people are the only ones trying to blow this up in Obamas face. McCain is not going to say a word.

Edith: I am not one who gets upset when people disagree. I am all for what you saying. What I am upset about is the protection that McCain is getting from the media. I find it misleading when the media keeps saying “we know McCain because he has been around for years” but we don’t know Obama. To be honest, I did not know anything about McCain tell I started my check list of pros and cons. I am sure there are many young and new voters who do not know this man. I would just like the media to step up and do their job. I also have to say I truly miss Tim Russert, I watched his show this weekend and I found it to be confusing and like every other news network. Still nothing on McCain from any of them. So no I do not need to grow up, I just need the media to be fair and to the point and stop these stupid articles that have nothing to do with us or our future.

McCain earlier today released a prepared statement on the situation in Georgia. The first few paragraphs provide historical context.
They are almost word for word from Wikipedia. I say almost, but they inserted a historical mistake.
They went to historical Cliff Notes, and McCain’s campaign still screwed up.
John McCain – the best foreign policy experience (almost) Wikipedia has to offer.

Maybe Obama used text messaging to try and stop the conflict.
Want to learn the real truth about Obama – read Obama Nation. I don’t see him disputing any of those facts. He is a very scary person.

Does the call for ceasefire in Georgia;
Reminds us of Israel bombing the ish out of Lebanon, while Bush refused to call a cease fire, and European-UN looked on.
Reminds us of US UNPROVOKED ‘shock and awe’ of INNOCENT Iraqis, while European-UN looked on.
When powerful nations set bad example, then they lose credibility and moral authority to censure others with any seriousness.
Saakhasvili reminds us of the bungling bush: Each mindless set their nation on a path towards the abyss.
Georgians should agree to sack Saakhasvili and SUE FOR PEACE
It is just reckless and foolhardy to seek to encircle the Russian Bear.
The West is always trying to impose on Russians. WHY?
Napoleon and the French.
Hitler and the Germans.
Russia returned home after each successful defense.
Now Bush and his numskull neo-cons are again seeking to encircle Russians. Why?.
Europeans should leave Russians alone.

Now that Florida and Michigan will be seated fully, Obama has only 59 more pledged delegates than Clinton. She has more popular votes. Not only has he not won anything, they are pretty much tied until the superdelegates vote at the convention. So why are you not fully supporting the traditional convention where all the candidates’ names are in nomination and where all of the nominees are included in a roll-call vote? Why are you failing to support democracy in the Democratic Party?

============================
The answer is simple. It’s another John Edwards thing to help cover up for 0-bama.

With all the baggage, all the flip-flops and lies, all the associations, and now the past rivals jumping on board, I don’t see Obama winning in November. It appears now that Clinton will have her roll call vote, which will divide the Dems even more. Sorry, Dems, this year will not be your year. Maybe in 2012, after the DNC has learned their lesson, let Hillary run and she will be the first woman President. Obama is toast….just the writing on the wall!

Will – if the media is protecting anyone, its McCain from his own words.

I think the media’s absence of getting the story out of Edwards during the primaries and now the realization that it hurt Hillary in Iowa, that this is going to be a MAJOR story. I can almost bet that the DNC, Pelosi, Dean, Reid, and Obama, himself, knew about Edward’s affair at this time, but kept the media quiet on it so that votes could be taken away from Hillary. If not, Hillary would be our nominee and she would have closed the deal on McCain. Now, we have this pawn, Obama, who is controlled by Pelosi and company….however, now, the DNC see that they have made a major mistake in “selecting” Obama…….it’s all going to blow up in their faces and McCain will be the next President of the United States.
This coming from a lifelong Democrat that is embarrased this year and will be forced to vote for McCain…but, NEVER, NEVER Obama!

We are looking forward to the First Obama and McCain debate in 8 weeks. I hope ABC will cover this debate. Voters want to hear about the issues between Obama and McCain not about Hillary and Edwards.

Okay, done talking about real issues for a moment. Now go back to Edwards, Paris, Britney… whatever it is you were talking about.

Ex-rivals plague Obama from Brian Ross’s The Note reports that Obamessiah has a number of ex-Judas and other assorted faux disciples to accomodate for the Denver convention – chiefly the Clintons – now that John Edwards has self-destructed – but

Lets make a list so we don’t forget who NOT to vote for:
Bill Clinton, Adultery
Edwards, Adultery
McCain, Adultery!
I see a pattern here….

Hey guys, another reason Hillary would have made a great CIC….no sexual thoughts AT ALL! She would have worked her a– off in that Oval Office (McCain at his age is of no concern, and his ex Carol, was amicable when the marriage dissolved).
Presidents/Power/Penis…..they all tie together.

Deb: McCain has bad judgement right now. We do not need him in office. Today, he is trying to get us in a war with Russia.. He needs to shut up.

How can you not support Obama?
but everyone in Germany loves Obama!! The news media says that this should be important somehow to a guy living in Detroit who has no job. Everyone in Germany loves David Hassellhoff.
I don’t see that Obama believes in anything other than being elected president. He says race should have no part of it, but he talks about it every chance he gets. He said he’s opposed to offshore drilling, but changed his mind when he saw his approval go down.
He’s now been caught up with 3 or 4 public speaking people who preach anti-semitic ideology. I wonder about him, and I’m not even going to go towards McCain’s weirdness.

Obama’s rivals for the nomination had a lot of questions about Obama’s qualifications to be President including Obama’s strong ties to anti-Americans, unrepentant terrorists and anti-Semites. Clinton supporters started to question whether these ties made Obama seem less than patriotic. Further many have come to believe that Obama is also guilty of the same egocentric and narcissistic traits Edwards personified when he said ” I started to believe that I was special and became increasingly egocentric and narissistic.” Unfortunately, Obama’s many lies and gaffes are not getting the mainstream media’s attention. Obama’s latest lie is Obama claim that the reason he voted against the bill in Illinois to protect infants born alive after an abortion was because it lacked a pre-birth neutrality provision. However Obama has just been caught in another lie. The National Rights Life Committee (NRLC) tracked the bill through its entire path and and discovered that the bill did have the codicil neutrality provision attached. Not only that then state Senator Obama presided over the Health and Human Services Commitee that was responsible for attaching the neutraliby revision, verbatim from the Federal Bill plus Obama voted in support of adding the amendment Immediatly after voting for this provision, however, Obama voted against the revised bill with the neutrality clause included. Clearly, Obama lied about his position. It’s no small rhetorical matter, either. Obama’s vote against this bill puts him on the extreme end of the pro-abortion camp,. Obama is so extreme on this issue that not a single member of Congress would follow his example. Obama voted to allow Christ Hospital and other facilities performing abortions to allow live children to die.

It seems the National Press Corps is easily distracted and later consumed by the insignificant. Of course, reporting real news requires checks and balances and other added elements of work. Perish the thought, added work is to be avoided at all costs. The uninspired National Press Corps continues to lead the American public down the sink hole. Fortunately, there are others in the media who are doing the job right and in the better interests of the American public.
