Why Obama?

Written by ekg on October 28, 2008 – 8:03 pm -

Because he knows that we are all Americans and it doesn’t matter if we live in small towns or big cities…”We All Love This Country”

You can either search congress for the ‘anti-americans’.Travel only in the ‘real’ America while dividing yourself from the rest of America..You can keep throwing every attack you can find, whether that be visiting his dying grandmother on a campaign plane, or because he said in down times people hold on to their religion.

Or, you can unite and believe “in the future we can build together..”

Why Obama?

…if one voice can change a room, then it can change a city, and if it can change a city it can change a state, and if it can change a state it can change a nation, and if it can change the nation it can change the world...

If you can listen to end of that and not feel hope. Not feel inspiration, not feel that “Yes, we can…” Yes, we can be better, we can do better, we can do anything if we stand together…. then Vote for McCain because there is nothing more I or anyone else can do to help you decide.

If you would rather listen to the same old attacks that lost McCain the Republican nomination in 2000? Tune into Fox news or watch any McCain ad, because he has hired the same attack dogs that George Bush used against him.

But if you want change, If you want unity, if you want an end to the last 8 years of division. Vote Obama.

Why Obama?

Sure, it’s easy to be cynical and say it can’t be done… One voice can’t do anything. One man can’t change anything. Why should we hope for anything?

There has never been anything false about hope…. When we have faced down impossible odds, we we’ve been told we’re not ready or we shouldn’t try, or that we can’t.. Generations of Americans have responded……. Yes we can!

Why Obama?

Because… with him we can be the America that is prosperous, caring, respected, feared and envied.

Don’t roll your eyes… Yes, we can.

The Hills have ayes…

Written by ekg on July 17, 2008 – 4:37 pm -

Rumors have been swirling that Obama,Dean and Pelosi are trying to negotiate Hillary’s name off of the ballot at the Convention next month. It seems they don’t mind her being on the ballot as long as it’s as a symbolic, roll-call gesture . They want her name on the ballot, they just don’t want placed on the ballot for nomination.

Neither Obama nor Hillary won enough votes to secure the nomination. Obama may have 390 more of them if all the super delegates who pledged to him actually vote for him at the convention. But with his shine getting a little a duller and with 18 million voters voting for Hillary, having her name as a nominee on the ballot and having to listen to all her delegate vote for her would make his ass pucker. All it would take is for her to have prime placement in the speeches and just knock it out of the park. The amount of delegates she has and the problems with his incessant flip-flopping could remind the delegates that she really does have a damn good chance of beating McCain. If she, or Bill were to remind them that her poll numbers against McCain were better than the 46% he and Obama share now…. Who knows what could happen and that’s why he needs to get her of the nominating ballot.

So what can he do about that? Well he can use his political influence to make sure that she is taken off the ballot as a nominee and placed there just as his symbolic 2nd. He’s done this before. Obama only likes to win when he’s uncontested. When Alice Palmer, the former state senator who picked Obama to be her successor back in the mid-90s wanted back on the ticket, he had her kicked off. The problem with Hillary is that there is no legal reason to have her bumped off the ballot. More than that though, if her voters aren’t allowed to vote for her then it’s game on and party unity my ass.

It would be quite embarrassing to Obama if there was a open-air-stadium-like response to Hillary getting on stage and giving a blow-out speech.. This is his shining moment and Hillary can’t be allowed to outshine him once again. But at the same time, Obama wants to project a ‘party-unity’ that just isn’t there. In order to keep that faux-appearance, Hillary just can’t be on the ballot and steal the sunshine from his over-whelming, ever engorging ego. It would ruin his grand plan to take over the world.

Don’t think he has a plan?

Ha-ha Ha-ha Ha-ha

He’s going to give his outdoor stadium speech on the 45th anniversary of MLK “I have a dream” speech while being the 1st nominee to give an outdoor speech since JFK did it in 1960. Yeah, someone is a little full of himself huh?

Here’s the thing. I don’t really give a rat’s ass if it’s embarrassing to Barack Obama. His people screamed like little bitches that Michigan shouldn’t count because he wasn’t on the ballot when they are the ones who took him off. So could you imagine the screaming and race-crying if there was a plan in the mix to get him placed on the ballot as a token 2nd choice? I think Motley Crue, The beatles and Charles Manson had a prediction for that scenario called “Helter Skelter”

This Manson predicted scenario is really just one wrong move from happening as it is. If the press caves, if Obama misteps in such a way that it just can’t be ingored we might have to call Charlie “profit” instead of whack-o-nut. But it would take alot to make the press go against the messiah I mean have you read a story on Obama? The other day there was a story that comics can’t even make fun of him, in that story the writer says

“But there has been little humor about Obama: about his age, his speaking ability, his intelligence, his family, his physique”

Is he Adonis or something? Maybe he’s Jesus? Or maybe he’s the reincarnation of Budda himself .

Jon Stewart tried to make fun of him, but met resistance from the audience. He had to tell them “You know, you’re allowed to laugh at him.”

Things that make you go hmmmmmmmmm ….Did Jim Jones’ followers ever laugh at him?

Every week I decide I am going to have to swallow my hatred and get on the ball and get the bad stuff out about McCain. Because there really is a lot of stuff out there….. I mean look at this response to a question about his surrogate saying that some health insurance will pay for viagra and not birth control and women would like to have the choice (response at about 5:00).

Could you imaging him being asked a really important question? HA!

Anyway, every week I want to change. I hope that I can finally sit down and do something positive about Barack or if not positive then something about McCain. But every week Barack tweaks my ire with something else and I completely forget about the crazy old man that might just be our next president and I shouldn’t.

This man is just as dangerous and the other one.

How in the hell did we get these 2 “unelectables in a sane year” as our only 2 choices?

Three words

George W Bush.

Yes, that’s right. What kind of liberal rant would this be without putting some kind of blame on Bush? But it’s true. The DNC figured that no matter what and no matter who, they had this election in the bag. The republicans could clone Ronald Reagan and it wouldn’t matter. George Bush fucked this country up so bad and didn’t give one shit about it that anyone running as a (D) would win.

Look say what would want, but even McCain knows this and is doing everything in his power to avoid being linked to Bush.

So the DNC is all it’s wisdom gave us…. No forced upon us.. A liberals wet-dream. No the wet-dream isn’t a woman… No-no… the true liberal wet dream is a good looking black man. Harold Ford jr would have been my choice, but his skeletons have already been vetted out so a no name senator would have do. Hopefully he could get the nomination and election before they were weeded out by the press. But if not, what to do?

Then, a “Karl Rove like” idea was formed.

Anytime anyone dissed this candidate, scream racism.( Which as you know is the liberal kryptonite.) Scream it at every charge and eventually no one will make any more charges and if the do they can be put off as people who just don’t like blacks.

Howard Dean may not have known about Obama deciding to do the open-air stadium rapture until he saw it on the news, but he damn sure knows his liberals.

The problem is liberals don’t just sit silent and fall in with the party-line because the party wants them to. But to silence them forever Dean and his subordinates can only do one more thing to ensure the nomination goes to the exalted one. Get Hillary off the ballot at the convention.

It will be interesting to see how it all plays out. I hope The Denver Group accomplishes it’s goal. Because Hillary may be an old school politician, but she is still better and saner than anyone else out there. The question is though, are more and more people with the power to do something about it paying attention?

It’s the Patriotism, Stupid!

Written by lilmike on July 5, 2008 – 8:13 am -

Barack Obama made a “patriotism” speech last Monday.  Every once in a while, if Obama feels he is being threatened on a particular issue, he does a speech on it, and declares the issue closed.  For a normal candidate, that would bring up more questions and widen the issue, but not with Obama.  With a lickspittle media to back him up, he seems to be able to have the definitive word on an issue.  Like his infamous race speech, given to try to get out from under widening questions about his former pastor, Jeremiah Wright, Obama mentioned it to end it.  The speech, in which Obamaphile first, journalist second, Chris Matthews, declared “Worthy of Abraham Lincoln” and “the best speech ever given on race in this country,” did end the issue until Jeremiah Wright himself forced it back on the front page, pulling kicking and screaming main stream media with him.  Of course if Obama himself wants to use race, such as in his more recent “Did I mention he’s black?” speech, he is free to bring it up and start tossing race bombs at any time.

 

But the issue Obama feels threatened by now is patriotism.  I can hardly think of a time when that has been an issue in Presidential politics, but here we are.  I can’t imagine McCain giving a defensive speech counseling others not to question his patriotism.  McCain probably in his wildest dreams wouldn’t imagine who would be dumb enough to attack him on his patriotism. 

 

But Obama’s problems with the issue are his own making.  Last year, when asked why he didn’t wear the flag pin, he could have answered in a number of ways that would have made the issue as throw away as the question should have been. 

 

“Sometimes I just forget to put it on.”

“Michelle dresses me, and she hates America.”

“I don’t care for the bling.”

 

Any of those answers would have been better to how he really answered:

 

“The truth is that right after 9/11, I had a pin. Shortly after 9/11, particularly because as we’re talking about the Iraq war, that became a substitute for, I think, true patriotism, which is speaking out on issues that are of importance to our national security…”

“I decided I won’t wear that pin on my chest. Instead I’m going to try to tell the American people what I believe what will make this country great and hopefully that will be a testimony to my patriotism.”

 

Gee, I never got the memo.   Flag pin equals the Iraq war?  I have not been counting flag pins, but I suspect there were plenty of people who opposed the war but still managed to wear flag pins.  It’s a tribute to Obama’s inexperience that he managed to take what is in essence a silly issue, and stumble on it with a defense that opens up a whole host of symbolic, but deadly issues for anyone running for political office anywhere other than Berkeley.  If Obama thinks the flag pin represents support of the Iraqi War, what does a flag sticker on a car mean?  Support for invasion of Pakistan?  Actually we ought to check Obama’s car for that.  It’s just a guess, but I suspect that there is no flag pole at the sprawling Chicago Obama Manor.

 

Senator Obama laid down the law with this line, “I will never question the patriotism of others in this campaign. And I will not stand idly by when I hear others question mine.”  Luckily Obama supporter Wesley Clark’s bumbling attack on McCain’s military record was made the day before Obama’s speech.  Clark’s attack so backfired that I suspect the whole patriotism speech had probably been sitting on a shelf waiting for a more appropriate time until Clark forced Obama’s hand.

 

He was going to have to give the patriotism speech eventually though.  Not to cover for Wesley Clark, who may have blown his VP chances, but to protect someone a little closer to home.  Michelle Obama clearly lacks her husband’s political skills, as well as lawyer’s penchant for parsing words so precisely that you have to go over it with a fine tooth comb to make sure you really understand what he is trying to say.  Although Michelle is a lawyer too, she is by no means a subtle one, describing the country as “just downright mean.” But my favorite Michelle tag line is this, “For the first time in my adult lifetime, I’m really proud of my country …” 

 

I’m sure the Obama’s were shocked that phrase kicked up quite a controversy.  What would there to be proud of in this country until Barack Obama decided to run for President?  Damage control to the rescue.  Politics must seem so easy for a candidate who has all of the main stream media at his beck and call.  No gaffe or misstatement is so big that it can’t be either ignored or explained away.  And that’s how we got Michelle on The View. 

 

Not being a regular View watcher, I have no idea how much of this dullard housewives kaffee klatch is scripted, but the part where English Professor Whoopi Goldberg brings up Michelle’s quote in order to clear things up seems right out of script book.  Professor Goldberg explained that Michelle’s use of the word “really” modified her statement to mean that the first part of her phrase didn’t really exist.  For example, this is what Michelle Obama said:

 

“For the first time in my adult lifetime, I’m really proud of my country.”

 

However using the special Whoopi rules it really means:

 

“——————————, I’m really proud of my country.”

 

 

 

Not having Whoopi’s knowledge of English grammar, I felt stupid and ignorant for not understanding what Michelle Obama was really trying to say.  I guess I must be an uneducated bitter American.  I decided to give it a try to see if I could use the Whoopi “really” sentence construction in real life situations.

 

Me:  You know, for the first time in our marriage, I really love you.

Wife:  What???

Me: You know what I mean. I really love you for the first time in our marriage.

 

My wife has a temper that can go from zero to eighty in about three seconds flat.  Three seconds was about how long it took to try explain to my wife that she was bitter and angry for not understanding what Michelle and I was trying to say.

 

Me:  I’m trying to tell you that I really love you; for the first time in our marriage!  Can’t you see that?

 

Anyway, she didn’t see that.  So because of my wife’s ignorance of the English language, I have about 14 more days on the couch before I can come back to the bedroom.  I only hope that the American people have a better understanding of English than my wife does.

calling all Obama-nations.

Written by ekg on May 11, 2008 – 9:00 am -

So I figured this would be a funny way to look at Barrack.. I was inspired by lilmike saying he was happy to sit on info about Barrack until after he gets the nomination. So I said to myself, “Self! Lets see what’s out there on this Jr. Senator that noone really knows anything about.”

oh dear god… why did I do that?

I’m scared of this man now..

1st off….. an opinion piece from CBS.Com

The Bad Company Of Barack Obama
National Review Online: The Senator’s “Change” Would Radically Alter This Country


Why is Barack Obama so comfortable around people who so despise America and its allies? Maybe it’s because they’re so comfortable around him.

He presents as the transcendent agent of “change.” Sounds platitudinous, but it’s really quite strategically vaporous. Sen. Obama is loath to get into the details of how we should change, and, as the media’s Chosen One, he hasn’t had to.

But he’s not, as some hopefully dismiss him, a charismatic lightweight with a gift for sparkling the same old vapid cant. Judging from the company he chooses to keep, Obama’s change would radically alter this country. He eschews detail because most Americans don’t believe we’re a racist, heartless, imperialist cesspool of exploitation. The details would be disqualifying.

MICHELLE
So, instead, we get glimpses. The most profound influence in his life, his wife Michelle, is notoriously less circumspect than her careful husband about where she’s coming from. Her college thesis, which Princeton tried to keep under lock and key, testifies to a race-obsessed worldview. She may have refined it, but she’s never grown out of it.

After four years at one of America’s most esteemed academic institutions, Michelle recoiled at the thought of “further integration and/or assimilation into a white cultural and social structure that will only allow me to remain on the periphery of society; never becoming a full participant.” That the sky has been the limit for her, that she has managed to ride the “periphery” from Princeton to Harvard Law School, to one of the country’s top law firms, and to a plethora of prestigious institutional positions, has not much altered her perspective. Through the windows of her mansion on Chicago’s south side, American society still appears as a caste system.

The United States, she says, is “just downright mean.” Never, prior to her husband’s presidential run, had she had a reason to feel proud of it, she told a campaign throng. But by last November, with Barack’s pursuit of the brass ring catching momentum, she suddenly got plenty proud. And confident: so much so that she was moved to tell MSNBC, “Black America will wake up and get it” — unite and carry him over the finish line.–

Michelle Obama scares the hell out of me. I have known black women with her attitude. Nothing can ever change what was done to a black man/woman/child in history. Nothing can ever be explained, forgiven or forgotten. They are fiercely proud of the hate that is shown to them, or the hate that they think is shown to them. Even when shown nothing but opportunity and kindness by whites, they will mock them behind their backs. . They will refer to themselves as “niggers’, not in the gangsta rap ’nigga’ form but in the hated racial form of the word. They are the ones who can never ever let slavery or any other black issue go because to do so would invalidate the ideas of the world that they have harbored their entire lives. It would take the power away from their pride. They dare people to do or say things to them that those people normally wouldn’t do. They bait them until they get an overblown, but understood reaction. Then they justify everything by telling themselves that they just knew it, that person hates black people.

If given power, she will be a dangerous woman. I fear her more than I fear Hillary or McCain.

Michelle Obama is Detta Walker.

Another look into Barrack’s past has to include the Rev. Wright. I don’t care if Obamanation thinks this is a dead horse or not. It’s serious and just because today he disavows him doesn’t excuse the 20 year service to this man. The Obama’s had to have believed in what this man was preaching. If they didn’t and stayed in his church, had him marry them and bless their children… then the Obama’s should be condemned for stupidity and feared because they are too naive and gullible and can be swayed by anyone with a pretty voice.

It’s either that or they agreed with The Rev and his teachings…

—Years earlier, the Obamas had gravitated to the baleful Rev. Jeremiah Wright, an unapologetic racist and hard Left firebrand. They were comfortable with him — and he with them.

By the senator’s own account, Wright is the inspiration for his memoir, The Audacity of Hope — the title is cribbed from a Wright sermon (“The Audacity to Hope”). For Michelle, who had written that a racial “separationist” would have a better understanding of American blacks than “an integrationist who is ignorant to their plight,” Wright’s Trinity Church mission statement had to resonate, right from its opening declaration:

Rev. Wright inspired his congregation – of which the Obamas were 20-year members — with “black liberation theology.” The doctrine is itself the inspiration of James Hal Cone, a professor of “Systematic Theology” at Union Theological Seminary in New York City.

Black theology refuses to accept a God who is not identified totally with the goals of the black community. If God is not for us and against white people, then he is a murderer, and we had better kill him. The task of black theology is to kill Gods who do not belong to the black community…. Black theology will accept only the love of God which participates in the destruction of the white enemy. What we need is the divine love as expressed in Black Power, which is the power of black people to destroy their oppressors here and now by any means at their disposal. Unless God is participating in this holy activity, we must reject his love.

For their part, the Obamas couldn’t get enough of Wright. Barack and Michelle had him marry them. They chose him to baptize their children, who were routinely exposed to Wright’s race-baiting bombast.

Which is it Obamanation? Is Barrack stupid or just hate-filled? You only have those two choices.

I think if you keep looking into the Obama’s and the people they associate with it’s pretty easy to see that that are far from stupid. Look at these associates

—BILL AYERS AND BERNADINE DOHRN
With this as background, is it really all that startling that Sen. Obama enjoys a friendly relationship with Bill Ayers and his wife, Bernadine Dohrn, a pair of terrorists?

I want to be clear here: Not terrorist sympathizers. Terrorists.

The mainstream media, in their zeal to elect a Democrat, are assiduously airbrushing Ayers: “an aging lefty with a foolish past,” as the Chicago Sun-Times has so delicately put it. In fact, it is the press that is rife with foolish, aging lefties. Ayers, by contrast, is an unapologetic terrorist with a savage past – one who beat the system he so reviles when, after his years of fugitivity, terrorism charges were dropped due to government surveillance violations. He’s “guilty as sin,” by his own concession, but “free as a bird.”

Ayers didn’t just carry a sign outside the Pentagon on May 19, 1972. He bombed it. As his memoir gleefully recalled, “Everything was absolutely ideal on the day I bombed the Pentagon. The sky was blue. The birds were singing. And the bastards were finally going to get what was coming to them.”

Ayers and Dohrn have done the actual dirty work of terror, while Jeremiah Wright draws the line at waving pom-poms. But the prism through which they assay the dirty work is precisely the same: America has it coming.

For them, that makes all the difference. It’s not terror, just chickens coming home to roost. “Terrorists destroy randomly,” Ayers rationalizes with nauseating arrogance, “while our actions bore … the precise stamp of a cut diamond. Terrorists intimidate, while we aimed only to educate.” Right. As her companion Discover the Networks profile illustrates, Dohrn now goes even further: insisting their bombings weren’t terrorist acts at all: “We rejected terrorism. We were careful not to hurt anybody.”

It was at the Chicago home of Ayers and Dohrn that Obama, then an up-and-coming “community organizer,” had his political coming out party in 1995. Not content with this rite of passage in Lefty World — where unrepentant terrorists are regarded as progressive luminaries, still working “only to educate” — both Obamas tended to the relationship with the Ayers.

Barack Obama made a joint appearance with Bill Ayers in 1997 at a University of Chicago panel on the outrage of treating juvenile criminals as if they were, well, criminals. Obama apologists say, “So what? People appear with other people all the time.” Nice try. This panel was orchestrated by none other than Michelle Obama, then an Associate Dean of Student Services. Ayers didn’t happen to be there — he was invited by the Obamas to educate students on the question before the house: “Should a Child Ever Be Called a ‘Super Predator?’”—

There is more…. There is so much more. McCain doesn’t have to go into ‘attack’ mode, there are so many others out there that will do it for him. Obamanation will say he barely knew Ayers. If that’s the case then why stand on his steps and start your political career? Were there no other steps in Chicago available that day?

Obamanation will say that it means nothing that Ayers was at the same appearance as Barrack and Michelle and they is right. Just like it really didn’t mean anything that John Kerry was at a speech at the same time Jane Fonda was. The difference is that Michelle Obama invited Ayers. And yet, Barrack doesn’t know him?

Which is it Obamanation? Is he gullible and stupid? Or is he lying?

What is wrong with us today? Is it that we just have to have a black man.. and any black man will do? I know dozens of white girls who feel this way. I watch every day as they talk about having more and more babies with this guy and that guy. “This” guy and “That” guy already have 2,3, and 4 kids with different women. Like the adopted child is the ‘en vogue’ thing in Hollywood, the black male is ‘in’ when it comes to young white men and women.

I say Good! Great! I’m all for it. In fact I don’t care what color anyone is. I am thoroughly sick and tired of race..I care more about who a person is and how they act and what they are capable of. Color has never been an issue with me. But what is not Good! What is not Great is the ‘any black man will do’ attitude of today.

Barrack Obama is the candidate of Hope. But what is his hope? Is it what he was preached to for 20 years? The hope that God will destroy America and her whites? Is it the hope of his friends Ayers and Dohrn, that America will finally get what’s coming to her?

Look, Hillary is far from being a Saint. The dead-list that follows in her wake is a little creepy. But we know what we are going to get with her. McCain is a little unstable and maybe we don’t know everything about him either. But we know what we’ll get with him. Barrack Obama is the question mark. He is the unknown. And in order to get to know him we can get to know who he has in his life. That is always a good indication of what kind a person someone is. Take a look at Barrack’s friends and pastors and ask yourself, would you be their friends? Would you sit in that church and listen to that services for 2 entire decades? Would you invite that man to speak at your family dinners or to teach your children?

Yes, America is ready for a black man to lead her.. But NO! any black man won’t do… Think about it. He his either gullible, naïve and borderline stupid for his choice in who invites to talk or who he hang around with. Or he’s one of them and believes in what they do. I don’t know which is more dangerous…do you? If you do know then tell me please. Because the way it’s looking this black man will be the one we get and I’d really like to know what exactly we’re getting.

btw, I found a clip on youtube that will be one of the 1st ’swift-boat’ ads against Barrack..In it even he admits he not experienced enough for the job.

sorry, but you’ll have to c/p that yourself…. this new wordpress is horrible when it comes to links,quotes,colors…grrrr
