U.S. Troops Not Important On Obama Itinerary

Obama has finally finished up his Middle East and European Tour De Farce and now is under scrutiny for snubbing our U.S troops. Apparently, Obama was scheduled to make a stop to meet and greet with our American troops but instead he opted to spend his time at the gym pumping iron. Turns out the Pentagon did not want camera's rolling when Obama visited the troops, so the trip was scrapped by the Obama campaign. It is obvious that Obama was just using our troops for a photo op, shame on him. How can any sane person consider Barack Obama to be Presidential material, after passing over our troops and not visiting them, I am not sure if Obama is even American material...

Governor Mike Huckabee was on Hannity and Colmes on July 28th, he made a few good points about Obama and his latest blunder:

Obama Love

by The McCain Campaign

A few quotes from some famous people who have been bit by the Obama love bug...

"He walks into a room and you want to follow him somewhere, anywhere," George Clooney told talk show host Charlie Rose.

"A quantum leap in American consciousness"
– Deepak Chopra

"He is not operating on the same plane as ordinary politicians. . . . the agent of transformation in an age of revolution, as a figure uniquely qualified to open the door to the 21st century."
– Gary Hart

"Barack Obama is our collective representation of our purest hopes, our highest visions and our deepest knowings . . . He's our product out of the all-knowing quantum field of intelligence."
– Eve Konstantine

"This is bigger than Kennedy. . . . This is the New Testament." "I felt this thrill going up my leg. I mean, I don't have that too often. No, seriously. It's a dramatic event."
– Chris Matthews

"[Obama is ] creative imagination which coupled with brilliance equals wisdom . . . [He is] the man for this time."

– Toni Morrison

"Obama's finest speeches do not excite. They do not inform. They don't even really inspire. They elevate. . . . He is not the Word made flesh, but the triumph of word over flesh . . . Obama is, at his best, able to call us back to our highest selves."
– Ezra Klein

"Obama has the capacity to summon heroic forces from the spiritual depths of ordinary citizens and to unleash therefrom a symphonic chorus of unique creative acts whose common purpose is to tame the soul and alleviate the great challenges facing mankind."
– Gerald Campbell

"We're here to evolve to a higher plane . . . he is an evolved leader . . . [he] has an ear for eloquence and a Tongue dipped in the Unvarnished Truth."
– Oprah Winfrey

"I would characterize the Senate race as being a race where Obama was, let's say, blessed and highly favored. That's not routine. There's something else going on. I think that Obama, his election to the Senate, was divinely ordered. . . . I know that that was God's plan."
– Bill Rush

"I'll do whatever he says to do," actress Halle Berry said to the Philadelphia Daily News. "I'll collect paper cups off the ground to make his pathway clear."

McCain and The NRA Take On Obama

Kudos to John McCain for being the first to release a contrast ad in this General election cycle. McCain's ad takes shots at Obama's lack of foriegn policy experience and his flip-flops on key issues like the war in Iraq. I think the timing of this ad is perfect, perhaps it will leach some of the press spotlight that Obama has had due to his middle east pandering expedition.

Speaking of taking shots, The National Rifle Association, announced that it will spend $40 million during this election season, $15 million specifically to persuade gun owners to vote against Barack Obama.The Illinios Senator really ticked of the NRA when he made that comment earlier in the year stating that the people in western Pennsylvania were bitterly clinging to guns and their religion. Anyone want to bet that we will see a quick move to center by Barack Obama on the issues surrounding the second ammendment? Don't be suprised if you see photos of Obama in the near future, wearing his new favorite color, blaze orange...

Where In The World Is Barack Obama?

Maybe we could ask Charlie Gibson, Katie Couric or Brian Williams, after all they are the three anchor people or "journalists" that were chosen to cover Obama's Middle East trip. Wow, talk about soft, liberal journalism, images of little kittens and butterflies come to my mind when I think of how these "journalists" will cover Obama's trip. The American people will not get the full story, as usual we will get only the liberal slanted version but hey at least it will be perky. I can read the headlines now, "The People Of The Middle East Fall At Obama's feet", "Obama Finds Iraq On The Map, He Is A Foreign Policy Expert", "Hamas and Hezbollah Have A Picnic With Obama", " Ahmadinejad Adds Obama As His MySpace Friend". Ok, I know I am stretching it a little but the coverage and success of Obama's trip will be much like his Presidential credentials, EXTREMELY exaggerated.

John McCain was in the Middle East recently and the three major networks hardly gave his trip a mention. Odd how McCains trip was backpage news and Obama's trip to the Middle East is being played up like the Second Coming Of Christ. The mainstream media has no limits to its biased liberal reporting. The American people need to wake up and realize that the news media is altering reality, it is reminiscent of Communist State sponsored TV, you are only told what "they" want you to know. The best way to fight back its to turn off ABC, NBC & CBS, do not watch their news or any of their shows. Maybe if their ratings drop even lower than they already are, they will start listening to what the American people want instead of shoving their liberal agendas down our throats...

Obama's Not Exactly's

I apologize to the few readers that I did have for not keeping this blog updated. Life has kept me busy but I am now planning to focus my full attention on this blog. So lets start off with an interesting list that was sent to me via email, there were no credits included, so I am not sure who wrote this piece but its a good one!:

Obama's Not Exactly's:

1.) Selma Got Me Born - NOT EXACTLY, your parents felt safe enough to have you in 1961 - Selma had no effect on your birth, as Selma was in 1965. (Google 'Obama Selma' for his full March 4, 2007 speech and articles about its various untruths.)

2.) Father Was A Goat Herder - NOT EXACTLY, he was a privileged, well educated youth, who went on to work with the Kenyan Government.

3.) Father Was A Proud Freedom Fighter - NOT EXACTLY, he was part of one of the most corrupt and violent governments Kenya has ever had.

4.) My Family Has Strong Ties To African Freedom - NOT EXACTLY, your cousin Raila Odinga has created mass violence in attempting to overturn a legitimate election in 2007, in Kenya . It is the first widespread violence in decades. The current government is pro-American but Odinga wants to overthrow it and establish Muslim Sharia law. Your half-brother, Abongo Oba ma, is Odinga's follower. You interrupted your New Hampshire campaigning to speak to Odinga on the phone. Check out the following link for verification of that....and for more. Obama's cousin Odinga in Kenya ran for president and tried to get S haria muslim law in place there. When Odinga lost the elections, his followers have burned Christians' homes and then burned men, women and children alive in a Christian church where they took shelter.. Obama SUPPORTED his cousin before the election process here started. Google Obama and Odinga and see what you get. No one wants to know the truth.

5.) My Grandmother Has Always Been A Christian - NOT EXACTLY, she does her daily Salat prayers at 5am according to her own interviews. Not to mention, Christianity wouldn't allow her to have been one of 14 wives to 1 man.

6.) My Name is African Swahili - NOT EXACTLY, your name is Arabic and 'Baraka' (from which Barack came) means 'blessed' in that language. Hussein is also Arabic and so is Obama.
Barack H ussein Obama is not half black. If elected, he would be the first Arab-American President, not the first black President. Barack Hussein Obama is 50% Caucasian from his mother's side and 43.75% Arabic and 6.25% African Negro from his father's side. While Barack Hussein Obama's father was from Kenya , his father's family was mainly Arabs.. Barack Hussein Obama's father was only 12.5% African Negro and 87.5% Arab (his father's birth certificate even states he's Arab, not African Negro). From....and for more....go to.....

Kristoff from the New York Times a year ago: Mr. Obama recalled the opening lines of the Arabic call to prayer, reciting them with a first-rate accent. In a remark that seemed delightfully uncalculated (it'll give Alabama voters heart attacks), Mr. Obama described the call to prayer as 'one of the prettiest sounds on Earth at sunset.' This is just one example of what Pamela is talking about when she says 'Obama's narrative is being altered, enhanced and manipulated to whitewash troubling facts.'

10.) Because I Lived In Indonesia , I Have More Foreign Experience - NOT EXACTLY, you were there from the ages of 6 to 10, and couldn't even speak the language. What did you learn, how to study the Koran and watch cartoons.

Looks like Obama has a problem with telling the truth, pretty scary to think that this man could actually wind up being our President.

Rev. Wright Digs Himself a Deeper Hole

Rev. Jeremiah Wright made the HUGE mistake of speaking before the National Press Club today, his comments were infused with the same old inflammatory rhetoric that we have all heard in his infamous sermons. Jim Geraghty from the National Review online touches on the important points of the speech:

Wright: This Wasn't an Attack on Me, It Was an Attack on the Black Church

Watching Wright at the National Press Club, I thought the headline would be that he said we have witnessed an "attack on the black church, not an attack on Jeremiah Wright." But he's hitting a wide variety of notes... hitting the Bush administration for "cutting billions in food stamps to pay for war in Iraq." Wright mentions his Goddaughter arrived in Iraq last week; he declares that those who questioned his patriotism used their positions to avoid military service.

Hits those who "worship Sunday mornings in a black clergy robe, then burn crosses on Sunday evening with a white Klan robe."

"The Christianity of the slave-holder is not the Christianity of the slave."

UPDATE: Wright says, "launched by people who know nothing of the African-American church"...

On Farrkhan: "How many people do you know who could get one million people on the mall? Farrakhan is like E.F. Hutton. When he talks, black America listens. Whether they agree with him or not, they listen."

On Obama's reaction: "We both know that if Obama had not said what he said, he would never get elected."

A genuine laugh: "I'm not running for office... I am interested in being vice president."

Asked about God d*** America: "I'm not a spiritual mentor... I'm his pastor. I told him that if he's elected, on November 5, I'm going after you, because you're now a representative of a government (check transcript?)... It's about policy."

"We have never apologized for slavery. We have never apologized for Japan."

I missed it, but I understand that he said, "You can't do terrorism, and not have it come back to you."

"He had to distance himself from those statements because he's a politician."

On the Government created AIDS: Have you read "Medical Apartheid"? I read different things.. Cites the Tuskeegee Experiments. "I believe our government is capable of doing anything."

Obama denies likening Israel to apartheid. Says that was Jimmy Carter. Says he believes Israel has a right to exist, and that Israelis have a right to exist, and but that "reconciliation" is necessary.

"In Biblical history, there isn't a word between Genesis and Revelation that wasn't written during one of six eras of oppression. Says he was comparing oppressions... Imperialism was going on in Luke... We have troops stationed all over the world. We rule the world." (A smattering of applause.)

Wright reiterates two key points — one, not that he was not attacked, but that the entire "African-American church was attacked." I wonder how many African-American churches are comfortable with Jeremiah Wright being the national spokesman for their entire religious community, elected circumstance.

Second, Wright keeps emphasizing that his critics know "nothing of the traditions of the African-American church community." But how much must one know about the African-American church in order to decide whether or not something is offensive? Is the declaration that the U.S. and al-Qaeda do the same acts under different color flags — do you or I need to have extensive background in that field of study before rejecting that argument? Declaring that our policies "grind people under"?

Are only historians of the black church entitled to criticize Jeremiah Wright?

**From CWS- Apparently, Rev. Wright has had threats to his life, so now he is being protected by the nation of Islam. There is a lot of security companies out there, so Wright choosing the Nation Of Islam to protect him speaks volumes. Can you smell what the Rev. Wright and Obama are cooking?

Anne Coulter reviews Barack Obama's book, "Dreams From My Father"

I usually cannot stand to read Anne Coulter articles but her take on Barack Obama's book seems to be be pretty accurate:

Obama's Dimestore 'Mein Kampf'

by Ann Coulter

Posted: 04/02/2008

If characters from "The Hills" were to emote about race, I imagine it would sound like B. Hussein Obama's autobiography, "Dreams From My Father."

Has anybody read this book? Inasmuch as the book reveals Obama to be a flabbergasting lunatic, I gather the answer is no. Obama is about to be our next president: You might want to take a peek. If only people had read "Mein Kampf" ...

Nearly every page -- save the ones dedicated to cataloguing the mundane details of his life -- is bristling with anger at some imputed racist incident. The last time I heard this much race-baiting invective I was ... in my usual front-row pew, as I am every Sunday morning, at Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago.

Obama tells a story about taking two white friends from the high school basketball team to a "black party." Despite their deep-seated, unconscious hatred of blacks, the friends readily accepted. At the party, they managed not to scream the N-word, but instead "made some small talk, took a couple of the girls out on the dance floor."

But with his racial hair-trigger, Obama sensed the whites were not comfortable because "they kept smiling a lot." And then, in an incident reminiscent of the darkest days of the Jim Crow South ... they asked to leave after spending only about an hour at the party! It was practically an etiquette lynching!

So either they hated black people with the hot, hot hate of a thousand suns, or they were athletes who had come to a party late, after a Saturday night basketball game.

In the car on the way home, one of the friends empathizes with Obama, saying: "You know, man, that really taught me something. I mean, I can see how it must be tough for you and Ray sometimes, at school parties ... being the only black guys and all."

And thus Obama felt the cruel lash of racism! He actually writes that his response to his friend's perfectly lovely remark was: "A part of me wanted to punch him right there."

Listen, I don't want anybody telling Obama about Bill Clinton's "I feel your pain" line.

Wanting to punch his white friend in the stomach was the introductory anecdote to a full-page psychotic rant about living by "the white man's rules." (One rule he missed was: "Never punch out your empathetic white friend after dragging him to a crappy all-black party.")

Obama's gaseous disquisition on the "white man's rules" leads to this charming crescendo: "Should you refuse this defeat and lash out at your captors, they would have a name for that, too, a name that could cage you just as good. Paranoid. Militant. Violent. Nigger."

For those of you in the "When is Obama gonna play the 'N-word' card?" pool, the winner is ... Page 85! Congratulations! Continue>>>>

Obama Needs Some Schooling From Bill Cosby

If you didn't catch the Obama race speech, you can read the transcript [Here]. As I watched this speech, I was appalled that Obama pulled out the race card to try and focus the attention on race instead of focusing on Obama's affiliation with Rev. Wright.

If Obama was truly serious about looking at the issues that black community is facing, he would stop claiming racism at every turn and start listening to people like Bill Cosby. Bill Cosby has the courage to take a look at the real issues and urge the black community to examine themselves.

Cosby put it so well in his now famous speech given in 2004 on the anniversary of Brown vs The board of education:

Ladies and gentlemen, these people set -- they opened the doors, they gave us the right, and today, ladies and gentlemen, in our cities and public schools we have 50% drop out. In our own neighborhood, we have men in prison. No longer is a person embarrassed because they’re pregnant without a husband. No longer is a boy considered an embarrassment if he tries to run away from being the father of the unmarried child.

Ladies and gentlemen, the lower economic and lower middle economic people are not holding their end in this deal. In the neighborhood that most of us grew up in, parenting is not going on. In the old days, you couldn’t hooky school because every drawn shade was an eye. And before your mother got off the bus and to the house, she knew exactly where you had gone, who had gone into the house, and where you got on whatever you had one and where you got it from. Parents don’t know that today.

I’m talking about these people who cry when their son is standing there in an orange suit. Where were you when he was two? Where were you when he was twelve? Where were you when he was eighteen, and how come you don’t know he had a pistol? And where is his father, and why don’t you know where he is? And why doesn’t the father show up to talk to this boy?

The church is only open on Sunday. And you can’t keep asking Jesus to ask doing things for you. You can’t keep asking that God will find a way. God is tired of you . God was there when they won all those cases. 50 in a row. That’s where God was because these people were doing something. And God said, “I’m going to find a way.” I wasn’t there when God said it -- I’m making this up. But it sounds like what God would do.

We cannot blame white people. White people -- white people don’t live over there. They close up the shop early. The Korean ones still don’t know us as well -- they stay open 24 hours. I’m looking and I see a man named Kenneth Clark, he and his wife Mamie. Kenneth’s still alive. I have to apologize to him for these people because Kenneth said it straight. He said you have to strengthen yourselves, and we’ve got to have that black doll. And everybody said it. Julian Bond said it. Dick Gregory said it. All these lawyers said it. And you wouldn’t know that anybody had done a damned thing.

Fifty percent drop out rate, I’m telling you, and people in jail, and women having children by five, six different men. Under what excuse? I want somebody to love me. And as soon as you have it, you forget to parent. Grandmother, mother, and great grandmother in the same room, raising children, and the child knows nothing about love or respect of any one of the three of them. All this child knows is “gimme, gimme, gimme.” These people want to buy the friendship of a child, and the child couldn’t care less. Those of us sitting out here who have gone on to some college or whatever we’ve done, we still fear our parents. And these people are not parenting. They’re buying things for the kid -- $500 sneakers -- for what? They won’t buy or spend $250 on Hooked on Phonics.

It is time for the black community to distance themselves from people like Rev. Wright, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and all those who continually add fuel to the racial fire and start listening to people like Bill Cosby. Cosby has the courage to look at the real issues and he gets the concept of personal responsibility. Jackson, Wright, Sharpton will forever live in the past and will continue to keep the members of the black community in a emotional torment with nothing but anger for a solution..

John Kerry Plays The Race Card

Martin Luther King Jr. said “I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character." In the video below you will hear Sen. John Kerry state that Barack Obama is best suited to deal with Muslim nations because he is "African American". Kerry also said "it would be an affirmation of who we are as Americans, if we elect an African American President." Now correct me if I am wrong but aren't we supposed to judge somebody by their merits and experience not by the color of their skin?

John Kerry and many black leaders are making a mess out of the message of Dr. King. Looking beyond skin color is supposed to be the ultimate goal . Everyone is the same regardless of race, gender or creed, yet it is ok to use the issue of skin color as a selling point to gather votes for a candidate. How does this statement sound: John McCain is best suited to deal with European nations because he is a white man, a statement like that sounds very racist and would be immediately chastised by Black leaders, Democrats and most of America.

I think that Dr. King would have been very upset to know that the race card is being used as a means to get Barack Obama elected. Would it make the Black community proud to have Obama win the election just because he is black? America has taken steps backward if we are using race or even gender to determine who is best suited for the job of President.

Barack Obama Earmarks $1 Million for Wife's Hospital

The arrogance of Barack Obama is truly disgusting. This man figured he would just skate his way to the White House and no one would ever question his actions. You were wrong Barack, very wrong:

Friday, March 14, 2008 8:47 AM
Newsmax.com
By: Jim Meyers

Presidential hopeful Barack Obama has released a list of $740 million in earmark requests he made in the past three years, and it includes $1 million for the hospital where his wife Michelle is a vice president.

The request for $1 million for the University of Chicago Medical Center was to help pay for construction of a new pavilion.

“I can tell you with 100 percent certainty that Michelle Obama was not part of our lobbying over the request, not in any way,” Kelly Sullivan, another vice president at the medical center, told the New York Times.

In any case, the 2006 request for the hospital was not approved by the Senate, as was about $7 out of every $10 the Illinois senator asked for in earmarks.

Bud he did manage to secure $1.3 million for a high-explosive technology program for the Army’s Bradley Fighting Vehicle. The program was overseen by General Dynamics, and one of Obama’s top supporters, James Crown — a member of Obama’s national finance committee — serves on the board of General Dynamics.

Obama also secured a $750,000 earmark for renovation of a space center named for Crown’s grandfather, Henry Crown, at the Museum of Science and Industry in Chicago.

And Obama secured several million dollars for a project at Chicago State University. Illinois State Senate President Emil Jones Jr., a close personal friend of Obama and one of his benefactors, has been a strong supporter of Chicago State, according to the Times.

Other earmarks sought and secured by Obama include more than $10 million for a military arsenal in Rock Island, several million dollars for research on soybean disease and livestock genes, and $100,000 for after-school programs at the Chicago Jesuit Academy.

Michelle Obama is on leave from her job while her husband campaigns for president, but after Barack was elected to congress, she received a big raise.

USA Today reports that officials at the University of Chicago Hospitals told the Chicago Tribune that Michelle is "worth her weight in gold."

"She's terrific," added Michael Riordan, who was president of the hospital in March 2005, when Michelle Obama was promoted to vice president for external affairs and had her annual salary increased from $121,910 to $316,962.

Hospitals spokesman John Easton told the Tribune that Michelle Obama's salary is in line with those of the 16 other vice presidents at the not-for-profit medical center.
