		<description>Hi Folks! 
 
Just wanted to share my new experience. 
 
If your system fails to start due to an error corresponding to missing HAL.DLL, invalid Boot.ini or any other critical system boot files you can fix this by using the XP installation CD. Simply boot from your XP Setup CD and enter the Recovery Console. Then run &quot;attrib -H -R -S&quot; on the C:\Boot.ini file and delete it. Run &quot;Bootcfg /Rebuild&quot; and then Fixboot 
 
Cheers, 
Carl</description>

		<description>Obama’s efforts to connect to the Republican Party, specifically Bush, and Dick Cheney, of the               Halliburton Company, dates back to the Presidents Grandfather, Prescott Bush, and indeed Cheney was once an executive officer of Halliburton.

The American military pounds Iraq with Artillary, bombs, and the like, destroying large sections of cities, and infra-structures, then Halliburton comes in to rebuild. Halliburton and Halliburton associated companies have raked in ten’s of billions.

Obama is just like the BIG HALIBURTAN. Haliburton has contracted to build detention centers in the U.S. similiar to the one in Quantanammo Bay, Cuba. Halliburton does nothing to earn the Two Dollars for each meal an American Serviceman in Iraq eats.

http://www.halliburtonwatch.org/

Halliburton was scheduled to take control of the Dubai Ports in The United Arab Emiirate. The deal was canceled when Bush was unable to affect the transfer of the American Ports. 

Now we see what some might suspect as similiar financial escapading from the Democrats. 

Two years ago, Iraq’s Ministry of Electricity gave a $50 million contract to a start-up security company - Companion- owned by now-indicted businessman (TONY REZKO) Tony Rezko and a onetime Chicago cop, Daniel T. Frawley, to train Iraqi power-plant guards in the United States. An Iraqi leadership change left the deal in limbo. Now the company, Companion Security, is working to revive its contract.
Involved along with Antoin “Tony” Rezco, long time friend and neighbor of Democratic Presidential hopeful Barack Obama, and former cop Daniel T. Frawley, is Aiham Alsammarae. Alsammarae was accused of financial corruption by Iraqi authorities and jailed in Iraq last year before escaping and returning here. 

LIKE FATHER LIKE SON --
Recently, Obama&#039;s campaign staff have been vetted by the IRS to disclose his connection to the criminal money generating underworld. Besides, his connections to the REZCO MAFIA types, his up-coming Tax Fraud charges — Obama needs to disclose why he is a MUSLIM &quot;PATWANG-FWEEE&quot; and disclose Obama&#039;s MUSLIM Farrakhan mob connection to Chicago&#039;s Trinity United Church of Christ. Its minister, and Obama&#039;s spiritual adviser, is the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. In 1982, the church launched Trumpet Newsmagazine; Wright&#039;s daughters serve as publisher and executive editor. Every year, the magazine makes awards in various categories. Last year, it gave the Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. Trumpeter Award to a man it said &quot;truly epitomized greatness.&quot; That man is Louis Farrakhan. Farrakhan and Chicago&#039;s Trinity United Church are trumpeting Barack Obama AKA Barack Hussein Obama as the second coming of the messiah. Obama should stop suppoting our intervention in IRAQ. It’s time to introduce this false, fake Xerox - X box Obama and invite the self-indicting thief plagiarizing pipsqueke &quot;GLORK&quot; Xerox - X box to meet the Buffalo &quot;GAZOWNT-GAZIKKA&quot; Police Department Buffalo Creek. He is MAD!!! --

OBAM YOU&#039;RE NO JFK -- 

&quot;GLORK&quot; Obama looks like Alfred E. Newman: &quot;Tales Calculated To Drive You.&quot; He is a MUSLIM &quot;Glork&quot; He&#039;s MAD!!! Alfred E. Neuman is the fictional mascot of Mad. The face had drifted through American pictography for decades before being claimed by Mad editor Harvey Kurtzman after he spotted it on the bulletin board in the office of Ballantine Books editor Bernard Shir-Cliff, later a contributor to various magazines created by Kurtzman.
Obama needs to disclose why he is a MUSLIM &quot;PATWANG-FWEEE&quot; and stop suppoting our intervention in IRAQ. It’s time to introduce this false, fake &quot;GLORK&quot; Xerox - X box Obama and invite the self-indicting thief plagiarizing pipsqueke Xerox - X box to meet the Buffalo &quot;GAZOWNT-GAZIKKA&quot; Police Department Buffalo Creek. 

Michelle Obama should be ashamed.

&quot;GLORK&quot; Michelle Obama should be ashamed of her separatist-racist connection to Farrakhan and Chicago&#039;s Trinity United Church trumpeting Barack Obama AKA Barack Hussein Obama as the second coming of the messiah. Beneath that Darth-Vader-Mace-Windu-Jedi-Me ssiah Helmet Hairdo of Michelle Obama lurks a Wildabeast. If Michelle Obama new what her husband -- the Hope-A-Dope, Fonster Monster -- Barack Obama AKA Barack Hussein Obama did in Harlem, she would wash her wide-open, Hus-suey loving MUSILM mouth out, with twenty-four (24) mule-team double-cross X-boX-BorraX. The Lexis-Nexis-Albatross-Abacus-Complex of Barack and Michelle&#039;s relationship with MUSLIM &quot;PATWANG-FWEEE&quot; Rev. Wright, Louis Farrakhan, and black demagoguery of Obama&#039;s Stump Lines Echo Malcolm X; is about as much of a Hoax as Oxfam volunteers believe in HIV-- AIDS Witch Doctors in Africa they feed. 
&quot;God damn America&quot; - Jeremiah Wright and Barack Obama --
&quot;God bless America&quot; - Pope Benedict XVI and Hillary Clinton --
If Barack Obama had married the sexual Shaniqua instead of Leftist-Sexist-Racist Michelle, his Jackenapes Collegial Elitism, excitedly-fixed-Nemet-oure-Saxas black rage, and &quot;GLORK&quot; black demagoguery of Obama&#039;s Stump Lines Echo Malcolm X; would be taken a lot more seriously. Expectations are that Obama will manage his explosive MUSLIM JIHADI -- FATIMA EXTREMISM obsession bitter. He is a MUSLIM &quot;Glork&quot; It’s time to introduce this false, fake &quot;GLORK&quot; Xerox - X box Obama and invite the self-indicting thief plagiarizing pipsqueke Xerox - X box to meet the Buffalo &quot;GAZOWNT-GAZIKKA&quot; Police Department Buffalo Creek. He&#039;s MAD!!!

THE SPEECH --

The Apologia has arrived and once again the self-indicting, separatist-racist Barack Obama AKA Barack Hussein Obama, promises to heal the wounds of the world. The speech is the rude awakening of mass messianism of his campaign. Apologetically, Obama the MUSLIM double-cross X-boX-BorraX has an astonishingly empty two-prawn echelon explanation of his misjudgment. 
In the first prawn: with regard to his connection to separatist-racist Rev. Wright; Obama summons voodoo and juju to express slavery as beginning and ending with the Rev. Wright.
In the second prawn: Obama&#039;s speech takes credit for Ashley&#039;s dream. A dream of unity Martin Luther King, Jr. borrowed from Ashley for his historic &quot;I Have A Dream&quot; speech. In Obama&#039;s speech, the connective bond Ashley, the elderly black man and Obama&#039;s grandmother share; represents Obama&#039;s self-indicting rise to the Harvard Yard. For Obama, the grand flag of language is the semi-fore of words, bestowed upon our nation by the messiah-alumni from Harvard. Obama&#039;s Swoon-Song Apologia to the nation represents a failed hymn -- a hymn that fails to heal the nation, repair the world, or make this time different than all the rest. Obama&#039;s speech is a brilliant failure.

MUSLIM LIES --

The ILLIGITIAMTE MUSLIM MESSIA has blundered yet again!!! The self-indicting, separatist-racist Barack Obama AKA Barack Hussein Obama, lied about the politics of his campaign. The danger involved with this self-aggrandizing, -a-hoop, Hope-A-Dope, Fonster Monster -- Barack Obama AKA Barack Hussein Obama is that -- &quot;Like Father Like Son&quot; Obama is constantly wanting to impress America with &quot;...his incapacity for sound judgment.&quot; In 2005, Sen. Obama voted for the Dick Cheney energy bill, which Cheney wrote in secret with the oil industry. Hillary Clinton opposed Cheney&#039;s energy bill, has a plan to eliminate oil industry tax breaks, and would require oil companies to contribute to a $50 billion strategic energy fund to jump-start research and investment in clean energy technologies. On top of the horrible crime Obama executed in Harlem, the fact is, we have to hear it from Karl Rove about Obama&#039;s latest Campaign Crisis.

&quot;GLORK&quot; Top Ten Obama Lies:

1. Obam said his parents met at the Selma march -- Reality: He was born 4 years before that.

2. Obam said he was a constitutional law professor -- Reality: . . . Obama Made This False Claim In His 2004 Senate Race. “Several direct-mail pieces issued for Obama&#039;s primary [Senate] campaign said he was a law professor at the University of Chicago. He is not. He is a senior lecturer (now on leave) at the school..

3. Obam said he spoke fluent Indonesian as a child -- Reality: . . . Obama has claimed on numerous occasions to have become fluent in Indonesian in six months. Yet another Phi Beta Krakatau lie from Obama. Those who knew him disputed that during recent interviews. Israel la Pareira Darmawan, Obama&#039;s 1st-grade teacher, said she attempted to help him learn the Indonesian language by going over pronunciation and vowel sounds. Truth-be-told: Obama&#039;s Indonesian teachers say Kaku-Pooh.

4. Obam said he was involved in community asbestos and housing project for the poor -- Reality:  . . . Didn&#039;t happen. This was the basis for Barack and Michelle&#039;s claim, that he was a community activist on the South and East Side of Chicago. Usher United Arab Emirates (UAE) A+ lie both he and his twenty-four (24) mule-team, Hus-suey loving wife Michelle Obama have been claiming in the campaign -- Reality: The Chicago Newspaper&#039;s Obelus -- Kiss-A-Cuss:...NO-MAMA.

5. Obam said in his book that he received his racial awakening at age nine reading a Life/Ebony Magazine story about a black man who was scarred trying to dye his skin white -- Reality: . . .  Didn&#039;t happen. Both Magazines (Life and Ebony), and the Rev. Wright and Farrakhan MUSLIM Trumpet Newsmagazine say, just didn&#039;t happen.

6. Obam’s Campaign Didn’t Have The “Technical Capacity” To Produce The “1984” Ad:

Obama: “But it&#039;s not something that we had anything to do with or were aware of and that frankly, given what it looks like, we don&#039;t have the technical capacity to create something like that.” (CNN’s “Larry King Live,” 3/24/07) -- Reality:...The Creator Admitted All It Took Was A “Sunday Afternoon” On His Mac. Phillip de Vellis: “I made the ad on a Sunday afternoon in my apartment using my personal equipment (a Mac and some software), uploaded it to YouTube, and sent links around to blogs.”

7. Obam’s Campaign Claimed His High School Friend Tried To Extort Money From Them:

“According To The Obama Campaign, [Obama’s Punahou Classmate Keith] Kakugawa Explicitly Raised The Possibility That He Could Make Up False Stories About Obama, Implying He Would Do So If The Campaign Did Not Give Him Money.” (Maurice Possley, Kirsten Scharnberg and Ray Gibson,  -- Reality: “...An Old Friend&#039;s Troublesome Return,” Chicago Tribune, 3/25/07).

8. Obam voted to bring low-cost foreign labor into New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina -- Reality: . . . This was a slap in the face against the African-Americans who were displaced in that city. Obama also voted to place Michael Chertoff, the man responsible for the Katrina catastrophe, in charge of Homeland Security. Obama voted for Senate-Bills that gave Blackwater the funding they needed to shoot the folks of New Orleans who were only trying to save their own lives. Inextricably, the towel head voted to allow Michael Chertoff to waive all applicable laws, including murder, torture, kidnaping, and he suppoted water-boarding.

9. Obam voted more than five times for USA-PATRIOT ACT renewal -- Reality: . . . This is a Senate-Bill patently offensive to most Americans. City after city has passed resolutions condemning USA-PATRIOT ACT. Passively or reflexively, Obama chose to side with tyranny over freedom and Bush over the folks on this issue. The Real ID Act, which would allow Michael Chertoff to declare martial law and imprison Americans, was supported by ex-patriot Obama, as noted above.

10. Obam is not a MAD MAN. Sen. Obama has not exaggerated the disconnection with . . .&quot;The Lord God, merciful and gracious, long-suffering, and abundant in goodness and truth&quot;  --Ex. xxxiv. 6; or extolled his MUSLIM vexatious madrassahs&#039;-faux-pas-us. Sen. Obama Is not involved along with Antoin “Tony” Rezco, long time friend and neighbor, now-indicted businessman (TONY REZKO); or Tony Rezko and a onetime Chicago cop, Daniel T. Frawley. Sen. Obama is not involved with, nor has Sen. Obama exhibited any nuclear security, bribery, money payoffs, or cronyism in the state of Illinois; or criminal activities related to the BIG HALIBURTAN and V.P. Cheney&#039;s Halliburton bribery case; or any political misjudgment in his escalating Campaign Crisis. Sen. Obama does not take money from people who hire lobbyists, partners of lobbyists, spouses of lobbyists, former lobbyists or state lobbyists. &quot;GLORK&quot; Sen. Obama Is not involved with any Hoax or Oxfam volunteers and HIV-- AIDS Witch Doctors in Africa they feed. Sen. Obama is not associated with Exiled &quot;God damn America&quot; SOULJAH JIHAD -- Rev. Jeremiah Wright, MUSLIM EXTREMIST (MalcomX KillA) -- Louis Farrakhan, and black demagoguery; or Obama&#039;s Apologia-Mea Culpa; or Stump Lines Echo Malcolm X; Sen. Obama has not exulted the virtue of being an aggrieved black man. Sen. Obama does not accept political contributions from terrorists. Sen. Obama has not expressed the troublesome sub-text of the October Surprise: &quot;X-Files&quot; -- The 1980 election scandal exposed....the extraneous-demon-us-venomous anger-driven association between Obama and aging [VX] Vietnam-era Weather Underground Radical Extremist William Ayers. Sen. Obama is not a separatist-racist. Michelle Obama AKA Wildabeast is not a separatist-racist. Sen. Obama is not a self-indicting thief plagiarizing pipsqueke Xerox - X box. &quot;GLORK&quot;  Obama executed no crime in Harlem. Obama is Not America&#039;s Poison -- Reality:...He&#039;s Radio-Active.

SOULJAH JIHAD -- OBAMA CAMPAIGN CRISIS

The Republicans&#039; disengagement (media bias), if not disillusionment, with the economic campaign issues is borne out by the fact that many more Republicans are able to explain, extinguish, and excoriate the name Barrack Obama with the term (JIHAD), than can name Bush/Dick Cheney and McCain -- as the Big Oil -- BIG HALLIBURTAN politicians expanding GOP IRAQ WAR ideology, and Republican White House Party Elders&#039; GI Bill of Rights for the 21st century IRAQ WAR ECONOMY. Even among Republicans, Clinton is much more visible than GOP presumptive candidate John McCain towards affecting positively the important economic issues facing America&#039;s middle class economy.

When asked who they would vote for in the general election for president of the United States, the natural pendulum swing in America is 79% of Republicans named Hillary Clinton as their choice. Reasons for Obama&#039;s Campaign Crisis &quot;GLORK&quot; Campaign Crisis include: 

&quot;Obama has more holes in him than Swiss-Cheese.&quot; (CNN’s “Politics.com,” 4/01/08)

Obama&#039;s presidential campaign has received $2,812,336 from firms that employ registered federal lobbyists. [fec.gov]

Obama has taken $405,747 from the Pharmaceutical industry. [opensecrets.org]

Obama has received $1,185,937 from the Commercial Banking industry. [opensecrets.org]

Obama has received over six million dollars from the Securities &amp; Investment industry. [opensecrets.org]

Obama has taken $608,822 from the Insurance industry. [opensecrets.org]

Obam has taken $168,584 from the Mortgage Banking industry. [opensecrets.org]


&quot;GLORK&quot; SOULJAH JIHAD -- CAMPAIGN CRISIS
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=3369102968312745410&amp;q=Fitna&amp;total=1413&amp;start=0&amp;num=10&amp;so=0&amp;type=search&amp;plindex=5

WASHINGTON — Obama’s support among Democrats nationally has softened.

&quot;GLORK&quot; Sen. Barack Obama’s support among Democrats nationally has softened over the last month, particularly among men and upper-income voters, as voters have taken a slightly less positive view of him than they did after his burst of victories in February, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News poll.

The survey suggests that Mr. Obama, Democrat of Illinois, may have been at something of a peak in February, propelled by a string of primary and caucus victories over Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York, and that perceptions of him are dramatically trending downward.

Mr. Obama’s favorability rating among Democratic primary voters has dropped seventeen percentage points, to 42 percent, since the last Times/CBS News survey, in late February. While that figure is steadily declining, this dramatic decline came in a month during which he endured withering attacks from Mrs. Clinton, and responded to reports that his exiled former pastor had made politically inflammatory statements from his church’s pulpit in Chicago, and swirling questions about what Barack Obama did in Harlem  -- from which he cannot extricate himself.

The events of the last month appear to have fundamentally altered the race for the party’s nomination and provided Mrs. Clinton’s campaign extensive evidence of a collapse in Mr. Obama’s standing or an overwhelming preference voiced for Mrs. Clinton by Democratic and Republican voters in polls: -- perplexing developments in Obama&#039;s ongoing Campaign Crisis, that could be used to persuade uncommitted super-delegates to sign on with Hillary Clinton.

Twenty-six percent of the general electorate voters who heard of the Apologia speech that Mr. Obama the self-indicting, separatist-racist Barack Obama AKA Barack Hussein Obama gave to try to deal with the controversy over Obama&#039;s separatist-racist connection to Farrakhan and Chicago&#039;s Trinity United Church trumpeting Barack Obama AKA Barack Hussein Obama as the second coming of the messiah, said it made them dislike him. And 74 percent of Democrats and Republicans said Mr. Obama&#039;s Campaign Crisis &quot;GLORK&quot; Campaign Crisis &quot;God damn America&quot; - Jeremiah Wright and Barack Obama. &quot;God bless America&quot; - Pope Benedict XVI and Hillary Clinton....stems from the fact that he shows continued misjudgment for even the most challenging problems. Next, the overall opinion of people in the news this year; Mr. Obama lacks the decisive capability to lead, willingness to listen, conviction and courage. Mr. Obama is no Alexander Manly when it comes to sexist-racist issues, and he uses false charges and exaggerated hate-the Saxon-race claims to play politics with national security. Mr. Obama lied about the politics of his campaign, and knew about Rev. Wright&#039;s MUSLIM Farrakhan - JIHADI -- FATIMA EXTREMIST mob connection to Chicago&#039;s Trinity United Church of Christ.

Colfax: Sen. Obama on Lobbyists --

&quot;When it comes to lobbyists, Senator Obama’s words might sound nice but voters need to make sure they read the fine print. Despite trying to give the impression that he has no relationship with lobbyists or special interests, the reality is that Senator Obama takes money from people who hire lobbyists, partners of lobbyists, spouses of lobbyists, former lobbyists and state lobbyists.”   –Statement from Clinton Deputy Communications Director, Phil Singer
Sen. Obama Has Ties to Lobbyists in His Presidential Bid

    Public Citizen: 10 of Sen. Obama&#039;s bundlers have been federal lobbyists. The Public Citizen report listed the following ten bundlers for Sen. Obama who have registered as federal lobbyists: Frank Clark, Commonwealth Edison; Scott Harris, Harris Wiltshire and Grannis; Allan J. Katz, Akerman Senterfitt; Robert S. Litt, Arnold &amp; Porter; Thomas J. Perrelli, Jenner and Block; Thomas A. Reed, Kirkpatrick &amp; Lockhart Preston Gates Ellis LLP; Paul N. Roth, Schulte Roth &amp; Zabel; Miriam Sapiro, Summit Strategies; Alan Solomont, Solomont Bailis Ventures; and Tom E. Wheeler, Core Capital Partners. [Public Citizen, 1/29/08]

    Sen. Obama takes money from employees of firms that lobby and has lobbyists as advisers. &quot;But those who lobby for a living say it&#039;s not that simple, and even Obama&#039;s stance shows some flexibility. He won&#039;t take money from federal lobbyists but accepts money from employees of firms and corporations that lobby, and he uses lobbyists and other government relations professionals as advisers... Obama has also used major fundraisers who are registered lobbyists on the state level. And he uses registered federal lobbyists such as Broderick Johnson, who lobbies for AT&amp;T and Shell Oil, among others, as a campaign adviser. Because Johnson isn&#039;t giving money to Obama, his name won&#039;t show up in Federal Election Commission records.&quot; [Chicago Tribune, 2/10/08]

    Bloomberg: Five of [Obama’s] ten biggest sources of funds are groups of employees at law firms that lobby in Washington. &quot;While Obama doesn&#039;t accept money from registered federal lobbyists, five of his 10 biggest sources of funds are groups of employees at law firms that lobby in Washington…Among Obama&#039;s top donors were employees of the Chicago-based law firm of Sidley Austin LLP, who gave $105,750 in the first quarter. The firm was paid $4.5 million last year&quot; for lobbying the federal government. [Bloomberg, 6/7/07]

    Obama&#039;s presidential campaign has received $2,812,336 from firms that employ registered federal lobbyists. [fec.gov]

    Obama has taken $405,747 from the Pharmaceutical industry. [opensecrets.org]

    Obama has received $1,185,937 from the Commercial Banking industry. [opensecrets.org]

    Obama has received over six million dollars from the Securities &amp; Investment industry. [opensecrets.org]

    Obama has taken $608,822 from the Insurance industry. [opensecrets.org]

    Obama has taken $168,584 from the Mortgage Banking industry. [opensecrets.org]

Prior to His Presidential Campaign, Sen. Obama took Money from Lobbyists and PACs

    1996-2004: $296,000 of the $461,000 Sen. Obama raised as a state senator came from PACs, corporate contributions or unions. &quot;But behind Obama&#039;s campaign rhetoric about taking on special interests lies a more complicated truth. A Globe review of Obama&#039;s campaign finance records shows that he collected hundreds of thousands of dollars from lobbyists and PACs as a state legislator in Illinois, a US senator, and a presidential aspirant. In Obama&#039;s eight years in the Illinois Senate, from 1996 to 2004, almost two-thirds of the money he raised for his campaigns -- $296,000 of $461,000 -- came from PACs, corporate contributions, or unions, according to Illinois Board of Elections records. He tapped financial services firms, real estate developers, healthcare providers, oil companies, and many other corporate interests, the records show.&quot; [Boston Globe, 8/9/07]

    In his 2004 U.S. Senate race, Sen. Obama raised $128,000 from lobbyists and $1.3 million from PACs. &quot;Obama&#039;s US Senate campaign committee, starting with his successful run in 2004, has collected $128,000 from lobbyists and $1.3 million from PACs, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, a nonprofit organization that tracks money in politics. His $1.3 million from PACs represents 8 percent of what he has raised overall.&quot; [Boston Globe, 8/9/07]

It’s time to introduce this false, fake Xerox &#8211; X box Obama and invite the self-indicting thief plagiarizing pipsqueke &#8220;GLORK&#8221; Xerox &#8211; X box to meet the Buffalo &#8220;GAZOWNT-GAZIKKA&#8221; Police Department Buffalo Creek. He is MAD!!! &#8211;</p>
<p>OBAM YOU&#8217;RE NO JFK &#8212; </p>
<p>&#8220;GLORK&#8221; Obama looks like Alfred E. Newman: &#8220;Tales Calculated To Drive You.&#8221; He is a MUSLIM &#8220;Glork&#8221; He&#8217;s MAD!!! Alfred E. Neuman is the fictional mascot of Mad. The face had drifted through American pictography for decades before being claimed by Mad editor Harvey Kurtzman after he spotted it on the bulletin board in the office of Ballantine Books editor Bernard Shir-Cliff, later a contributor to various magazines created by Kurtzman.<br />
Obama needs to disclose why he is a MUSLIM &#8220;PATWANG-FWEEE&#8221; and stop suppoting our intervention in IRAQ. It’s time to introduce this false, fake &#8220;GLORK&#8221; Xerox &#8211; X box Obama and invite the self-indicting thief plagiarizing pipsqueke Xerox &#8211; X box to meet the Buffalo &#8220;GAZOWNT-GAZIKKA&#8221; Police Department Buffalo Creek. </p>
<p>Michelle Obama should be ashamed.</p>
<p>&#8220;GLORK&#8221; Michelle Obama should be ashamed of her separatist-racist connection to Farrakhan and Chicago&#8217;s Trinity United Church trumpeting Barack Obama AKA Barack Hussein Obama as the second coming of the messiah. Beneath that Darth-Vader-Mace-Windu-Jedi-Me ssiah Helmet Hairdo of Michelle Obama lurks a Wildabeast. If Michelle Obama new what her husband &#8212; the Hope-A-Dope, Fonster Monster &#8212; Barack Obama AKA Barack Hussein Obama did in Harlem, she would wash her wide-open, Hus-suey loving MUSILM mouth out, with twenty-four (24) mule-team double-cross X-boX-BorraX. The Lexis-Nexis-Albatross-Abacus-Complex of Barack and Michelle&#8217;s relationship with MUSLIM &#8220;PATWANG-FWEEE&#8221; Rev. Wright, Louis Farrakhan, and black demagoguery of Obama&#8217;s Stump Lines Echo Malcolm X; is about as much of a Hoax as Oxfam volunteers believe in HIV&#8211; AIDS Witch Doctors in Africa they feed.<br />
&#8220;God damn America&#8221; &#8211; Jeremiah Wright and Barack Obama &#8211;<br />
&#8220;God bless America&#8221; &#8211; Pope Benedict XVI and Hillary Clinton &#8211;<br />
If Barack Obama had married the sexual Shaniqua instead of Leftist-Sexist-Racist Michelle, his Jackenapes Collegial Elitism, excitedly-fixed-Nemet-oure-Saxas black rage, and &#8220;GLORK&#8221; black demagoguery of Obama&#8217;s Stump Lines Echo Malcolm X; would be taken a lot more seriously. Expectations are that Obama will manage his explosive MUSLIM JIHADI &#8212; FATIMA EXTREMISM obsession bitter. He is a MUSLIM &#8220;Glork&#8221; It’s time to introduce this false, fake &#8220;GLORK&#8221; Xerox &#8211; X box Obama and invite the self-indicting thief plagiarizing pipsqueke Xerox &#8211; X box to meet the Buffalo &#8220;GAZOWNT-GAZIKKA&#8221; Police Department Buffalo Creek. He&#8217;s MAD!!!</p>

<p>THE SPEECH &#8211;</p>
<p>The Apologia has arrived and once again the self-indicting, separatist-racist Barack Obama AKA Barack Hussein Obama, promises to heal the wounds of the world. The speech is the rude awakening of mass messianism of his campaign. Apologetically, Obama the MUSLIM double-cross X-boX-BorraX has an astonishingly empty two-prawn echelon explanation of his misjudgment.<br />
In the first prawn: with regard to his connection to separatist-racist Rev. Wright; Obama summons voodoo and juju to express slavery as beginning and ending with the Rev. Wright.<br />
In the second prawn: Obama&#8217;s speech takes credit for Ashley&#8217;s dream. A dream of unity Martin Luther King, Jr. borrowed from Ashley for his historic &#8220;I Have A Dream&#8221; speech. In Obama&#8217;s speech, the connective bond Ashley, the elderly black man and Obama&#8217;s grandmother share; represents Obama&#8217;s self-indicting rise to the Harvard Yard. For Obama, the grand flag of language is the semi-fore of words, bestowed upon our nation by the messiah-alumni from Harvard. Obama&#8217;s Swoon-Song Apologia to the nation represents a failed hymn &#8212; a hymn that fails to heal the nation, repair the world, or make this time different than all the rest. Obama&#8217;s speech is a brilliant failure.</p>
<p><a href="http://www.halliburtonwatch.org/" rel="nofollow">http://www.halliburtonwatch.org/</a></p>
<p>MUSLIM LIES &#8211;</p>
<p>The ILLIGITIAMTE MUSLIM MESSIA has blundered yet again!!! The self-indicting, separatist-racist Barack Obama AKA Barack Hussein Obama, lied about the politics of his campaign. The danger involved with this self-aggrandizing, -a-hoop, Hope-A-Dope, Fonster Monster &#8212; Barack Obama AKA Barack Hussein Obama is that &#8212; &#8220;Like Father Like Son&#8221; Obama is constantly wanting to impress America with &#8220;&#8230;his incapacity for sound judgment.&#8221; In 2005, Sen. Obama voted for the Dick Cheney energy bill, which Cheney wrote in secret with the oil industry. Hillary Clinton opposed Cheney&#8217;s energy bill, has a plan to eliminate oil industry tax breaks, and would require oil companies to contribute to a $50 billion strategic energy fund to jump-start research and investment in clean energy technologies. On top of the horrible crime Obama executed in Harlem, the fact is, we have to hear it from Karl Rove about Obama&#8217;s latest Campaign Crisis.</p>
<p>&#8220;GLORK&#8221; Top Ten Obama Lies:</p>
<p>1. Obam said his parents met at the Selma march &#8212; Reality: He was born 4 years before that.</p>
<p>2. Obam said he was a constitutional law professor &#8212; Reality: . . . Obama Made This False Claim In His 2004 Senate Race. “Several direct-mail pieces issued for Obama&#8217;s primary [Senate] campaign said he was a law professor at the University of Chicago. He is not. He is a senior lecturer (now on leave) at the school..</p>
<p>3. Obam said he spoke fluent Indonesian as a child &#8212; Reality: . . . Obama has claimed on numerous occasions to have become fluent in Indonesian in six months. Yet another Phi Beta Krakatau lie from Obama. Those who knew him disputed that during recent interviews. Israel la Pareira Darmawan, Obama&#8217;s 1st-grade teacher, said she attempted to help him learn the Indonesian language by going over pronunciation and vowel sounds. Truth-be-told: Obama&#8217;s Indonesian teachers say Kaku-Pooh.</p>
<p>4. Obam said he was involved in community asbestos and housing project for the poor &#8212; Reality:  . . . Didn&#8217;t happen. This was the basis for Barack and Michelle&#8217;s claim, that he was a community activist on the South and East Side of Chicago. Usher United Arab Emirates (UAE) A+ lie both he and his twenty-four (24) mule-team, Hus-suey loving wife Michelle Obama have been claiming in the campaign &#8212; Reality: The Chicago Newspaper&#8217;s Obelus &#8212; Kiss-A-Cuss:&#8230;NO-MAMA.</p>
<p>5. Obam said in his book that he received his racial awakening at age nine reading a Life/Ebony Magazine story about a black man who was scarred trying to dye his skin white &#8212; Reality: . . .  Didn&#8217;t happen. Both Magazines (Life and Ebony), and the Rev. Wright and Farrakhan MUSLIM Trumpet Newsmagazine say, just didn&#8217;t happen.</p>
<p>6. Obam’s Campaign Didn’t Have The “Technical Capacity” To Produce The “1984” Ad:</p>
<p>Obama: “But it&#8217;s not something that we had anything to do with or were aware of and that frankly, given what it looks like, we don&#8217;t have the technical capacity to create something like that.” (CNN’s “Larry King Live,” 3/24/07) &#8212; Reality:&#8230;The Creator Admitted All It Took Was A “Sunday Afternoon” On His Mac. Phillip de Vellis: “I made the ad on a Sunday afternoon in my apartment using my personal equipment (a Mac and some software), uploaded it to YouTube, and sent links around to blogs.”</p>
<p>7. Obam’s Campaign Claimed His High School Friend Tried To Extort Money From Them:</p>
<p>“According To The Obama Campaign, [Obama’s Punahou Classmate Keith] Kakugawa Explicitly Raised The Possibility That He Could Make Up False Stories About Obama, Implying He Would Do So If The Campaign Did Not Give Him Money.” (Maurice Possley, Kirsten Scharnberg and Ray Gibson,  &#8212; Reality: “&#8230;An Old Friend&#8217;s Troublesome Return,” Chicago Tribune, 3/25/07).</p>
<p>8. Obam voted to bring low-cost foreign labor into New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina &#8212; Reality: . . . This was a slap in the face against the African-Americans who were displaced in that city. Obama also voted to place Michael Chertoff, the man responsible for the Katrina catastrophe, in charge of Homeland Security. Obama voted for Senate-Bills that gave Blackwater the funding they needed to shoot the folks of New Orleans who were only trying to save their own lives. Inextricably, the towel head voted to allow Michael Chertoff to waive all applicable laws, including murder, torture, kidnaping, and he suppoted water-boarding.</p>
<p>9. Obam voted more than five times for USA-PATRIOT ACT renewal &#8212; Reality: . . . This is a Senate-Bill patently offensive to most Americans. City after city has passed resolutions condemning USA-PATRIOT ACT. Passively or reflexively, Obama chose to side with tyranny over freedom and Bush over the folks on this issue. The Real ID Act, which would allow Michael Chertoff to declare martial law and imprison Americans, was supported by ex-patriot Obama, as noted above.</p>
<p>10. Obam is not a MAD MAN. Sen. Obama has not exaggerated the disconnection with . . .&#8221;The Lord God, merciful and gracious, long-suffering, and abundant in goodness and truth&#8221;  &#8211;Ex. xxxiv. 6; or extolled his MUSLIM vexatious madrassahs&#8217;-faux-pas-us. Sen. Obama Is not involved along with Antoin “Tony” Rezco, long time friend and neighbor, now-indicted businessman (TONY REZKO); or Tony Rezko and a onetime Chicago cop, Daniel T. Frawley. Sen. Obama is not involved with, nor has Sen. Obama exhibited any nuclear security, bribery, money payoffs, or cronyism in the state of Illinois; or criminal activities related to the BIG HALIBURTAN and V.P. Cheney&#8217;s Halliburton bribery case; or any political misjudgment in his escalating Campaign Crisis. Sen. Obama does not take money from people who hire lobbyists, partners of lobbyists, spouses of lobbyists, former lobbyists or state lobbyists. &#8220;GLORK&#8221; Sen. Obama Is not involved with any Hoax or Oxfam volunteers and HIV&#8211; AIDS Witch Doctors in Africa they feed. Sen. Obama is not associated with Exiled &#8220;God damn America&#8221; SOULJAH JIHAD &#8212; Rev. Jeremiah Wright, MUSLIM EXTREMIST (MalcomX KillA) &#8212; Louis Farrakhan, and black demagoguery; or Obama&#8217;s Apologia-Mea Culpa; or Stump Lines Echo Malcolm X; Sen. Obama has not exulted the virtue of being an aggrieved black man. Sen. Obama does not accept political contributions from terrorists. Sen. Obama has not expressed the troublesome sub-text of the October Surprise: &#8220;X-Files&#8221; &#8212; The 1980 election scandal exposed&#8230;.the extraneous-demon-us-venomous anger-driven association between Obama and aging [VX] Vietnam-era Weather Underground Radical Extremist William Ayers. Sen. Obama is not a separatist-racist. Michelle Obama AKA Wildabeast is not a separatist-racist. Sen. Obama is not a self-indicting thief plagiarizing pipsqueke Xerox &#8211; X box. &#8220;GLORK&#8221;  Obama executed no crime in Harlem. Obama is Not America&#8217;s Poison &#8212; Reality:&#8230;He&#8217;s Radio-Active.</p>

<p>SOULJAH JIHAD &#8212; OBAMA CAMPAIGN CRISIS</p>
<p>The Republicans&#8217; disengagement (media bias), if not disillusionment, with the economic campaign issues is borne out by the fact that many more Republicans are able to explain, extinguish, and excoriate the name Barrack Obama with the term (JIHAD), than can name Bush/Dick Cheney and McCain &#8212; as the Big Oil &#8212; BIG HALLIBURTAN politicians expanding GOP IRAQ WAR ideology, and Republican White House Party Elders&#8217; GI Bill of Rights for the 21st century IRAQ WAR ECONOMY. Even among Republicans, Clinton is much more visible than GOP presumptive candidate John McCain towards affecting positively the important economic issues facing America&#8217;s middle class economy.</p>
<p>When asked who they would vote for in the general election for president of the United States, the natural pendulum swing in America is 79% of Republicans named Hillary Clinton as their choice. Reasons for Obama&#8217;s Campaign Crisis &#8220;GLORK&#8221; Campaign Crisis include: </p>

<p>WASHINGTON — Obama’s support among Democrats nationally has softened.</p>
<p>&#8220;GLORK&#8221; Sen. Barack Obama’s support among Democrats nationally has softened over the last month, particularly among men and upper-income voters, as voters have taken a slightly less positive view of him than they did after his burst of victories in February, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News poll.</p>
<p>The survey suggests that Mr. Obama, Democrat of Illinois, may have been at something of a peak in February, propelled by a string of primary and caucus victories over Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York, and that perceptions of him are dramatically trending downward.</p>
<p>Mr. Obama’s favorability rating among Democratic primary voters has dropped seventeen percentage points, to 42 percent, since the last Times/CBS News survey, in late February. While that figure is steadily declining, this dramatic decline came in a month during which he endured withering attacks from Mrs. Clinton, and responded to reports that his exiled former pastor had made politically inflammatory statements from his church’s pulpit in Chicago, and swirling questions about what Barack Obama did in Harlem  &#8212; from which he cannot extricate himself.</p>
<p>The events of the last month appear to have fundamentally altered the race for the party’s nomination and provided Mrs. Clinton’s campaign extensive evidence of a collapse in Mr. Obama’s standing or an overwhelming preference voiced for Mrs. Clinton by Democratic and Republican voters in polls: &#8212; perplexing developments in Obama&#8217;s ongoing Campaign Crisis, that could be used to persuade uncommitted super-delegates to sign on with Hillary Clinton.</p>
<p>Twenty-six percent of the general electorate voters who heard of the Apologia speech that Mr. Obama the self-indicting, separatist-racist Barack Obama AKA Barack Hussein Obama gave to try to deal with the controversy over Obama&#8217;s separatist-racist connection to Farrakhan and Chicago&#8217;s Trinity United Church trumpeting Barack Obama AKA Barack Hussein Obama as the second coming of the messiah, said it made them dislike him. And 74 percent of Democrats and Republicans said Mr. Obama&#8217;s Campaign Crisis &#8220;GLORK&#8221; Campaign Crisis &#8220;God damn America&#8221; &#8211; Jeremiah Wright and Barack Obama. &#8220;God bless America&#8221; &#8211; Pope Benedict XVI and Hillary Clinton&#8230;.stems from the fact that he shows continued misjudgment for even the most challenging problems. Next, the overall opinion of people in the news this year; Mr. Obama lacks the decisive capability to lead, willingness to listen, conviction and courage. Mr. Obama is no Alexander Manly when it comes to sexist-racist issues, and he uses false charges and exaggerated hate-the Saxon-race claims to play politics with national security. Mr. Obama lied about the politics of his campaign, and knew about Rev. Wright&#8217;s MUSLIM Farrakhan &#8211; JIHADI &#8212; FATIMA EXTREMIST mob connection to Chicago&#8217;s Trinity United Church of Christ. </p>

<p>Colfax: Sen. Obama on Lobbyists &#8211;</p>
<p>&#8220;When it comes to lobbyists, Senator Obama’s words might sound nice but voters need to make sure they read the fine print. Despite trying to give the impression that he has no relationship with lobbyists or special interests, the reality is that Senator Obama takes money from people who hire lobbyists, partners of lobbyists, spouses of lobbyists, former lobbyists and state lobbyists.”   –Statement from Clinton Deputy Communications Director, Phil Singer<br />
Sen. Obama Has Ties to Lobbyists in His Presidential Bid</p>
<p>    Public Citizen: 10 of Sen. Obama&#8217;s bundlers have been federal lobbyists. The Public Citizen report listed the following ten bundlers for Sen. Obama who have registered as federal lobbyists: Frank Clark, Commonwealth Edison; Scott Harris, Harris Wiltshire and Grannis; Allan J. Katz, Akerman Senterfitt; Robert S. Litt, Arnold &amp; Porter; Thomas J. Perrelli, Jenner and Block; Thomas A. Reed, Kirkpatrick &amp; Lockhart Preston Gates Ellis LLP; Paul N. Roth, Schulte Roth &amp; Zabel; Miriam Sapiro, Summit Strategies; Alan Solomont, Solomont Bailis Ventures; and Tom E. Wheeler, Core Capital Partners. [Public Citizen, 1/29/08]</p>
<p>    Sen. Obama takes money from employees of firms that lobby and has lobbyists as advisers. &#8220;But those who lobby for a living say it&#8217;s not that simple, and even Obama&#8217;s stance shows some flexibility. He won&#8217;t take money from federal lobbyists but accepts money from employees of firms and corporations that lobby, and he uses lobbyists and other government relations professionals as advisers&#8230; Obama has also used major fundraisers who are registered lobbyists on the state level. And he uses registered federal lobbyists such as Broderick Johnson, who lobbies for AT&amp;T and Shell Oil, among others, as a campaign adviser. Because Johnson isn&#8217;t giving money to Obama, his name won&#8217;t show up in Federal Election Commission records.&#8221; [Chicago Tribune, 2/10/08]</p>
<p>    Bloomberg: Five of [Obama’s] ten biggest sources of funds are groups of employees at law firms that lobby in Washington. &#8220;While Obama doesn&#8217;t accept money from registered federal lobbyists, five of his 10 biggest sources of funds are groups of employees at law firms that lobby in Washington…Among Obama&#8217;s top donors were employees of the Chicago-based law firm of Sidley Austin LLP, who gave $105,750 in the first quarter. The firm was paid $4.5 million last year&#8221; for lobbying the federal government. [Bloomberg, 6/7/07]</p>
<p>    Obama&#8217;s presidential campaign has received $2,812,336 from firms that employ registered federal lobbyists. [fec.gov]</p>
<p>    Obama has taken $405,747 from the Pharmaceutical industry. [opensecrets.org]</p>
<p>    Obama has received $1,185,937 from the Commercial Banking industry. [opensecrets.org]</p>
<p>    Obama has received over six million dollars from the Securities &amp; Investment industry. [opensecrets.org]</p>
<p>    Obama has taken $608,822 from the Insurance industry. [opensecrets.org]</p>
<p>    Obama has taken $168,584 from the Mortgage Banking industry. [opensecrets.org]</p>
<p>Prior to His Presidential Campaign, Sen. Obama took Money from Lobbyists and PACs</p>
<p>    1996-2004: $296,000 of the $461,000 Sen. Obama raised as a state senator came from PACs, corporate contributions or unions. &#8220;But behind Obama&#8217;s campaign rhetoric about taking on special interests lies a more complicated truth. A Globe review of Obama&#8217;s campaign finance records shows that he collected hundreds of thousands of dollars from lobbyists and PACs as a state legislator in Illinois, a US senator, and a presidential aspirant. In Obama&#8217;s eight years in the Illinois Senate, from 1996 to 2004, almost two-thirds of the money he raised for his campaigns &#8212; $296,000 of $461,000 &#8212; came from PACs, corporate contributions, or unions, according to Illinois Board of Elections records. He tapped financial services firms, real estate developers, healthcare providers, oil companies, and many other corporate interests, the records show.&#8221; [Boston Globe, 8/9/07]</p>
<p>    In his 2004 U.S. Senate race, Sen. Obama raised $128,000 from lobbyists and $1.3 million from PACs. &#8220;Obama&#8217;s US Senate campaign committee, starting with his successful run in 2004, has collected $128,000 from lobbyists and $1.3 million from PACs, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, a nonprofit organization that tracks money in politics. His $1.3 million from PACs represents 8 percent of what he has raised overall.&#8221; [Boston Globe, 8/9/07]</p>

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;That trillion won’t make up for the 5 trillion in market value of book assets that have disappeared in the last MONTH&lt;/blockquote&gt;

One of the points Bill Clinton made early on concerned the Chinese financing our economy, under Bush.

And though I have read a lot about Chinese ownership of American assessts, I really wonder about the greater effect, the real story, there, and how China is affected, too. 

So much of what comes out regarding the economy is as pop as Chris Matthews, and I don&#039;t trust it.

The financial writer for the New Yorker, James Surowiecki, usually provides a clear headed analysis.</description>

<p>So much of what comes out regarding the economy is as pop as Chris Matthews, and I don&#8217;t trust it.</p>
<p>The financial writer for the New Yorker, James Surowiecki, usually provides a clear headed analysis.</p>

		<description>How many delegates will Obama pick up in NY since they have to recount the votes?

Unofficial Tallies in NYC Understated Obama Vote 
· 



NYT: 
Black voters are heavily represented in the 94th Election District in Harlem’s 70th Assembly District. Yet according to the unofficial results from the New York Democratic primary last week, not a single vote in the district was cast for Senator Barack Obama.

That anomaly was not unique. In fact, a review by The New York Times of the unofficial results reported on primary night found about 80 election districts among the city’s 6,106 where Mr. Obama supposedly did not receive even one vote, including cases where he ran a respectable race in a nearby district.

City election officials this week said that their formal review of the results, which will not be completed for weeks, had confirmed some major discrepancies between the vote totals reported publicly — and unofficially — on primary night and the actual tally on hundreds of voting machines across the city.

In the Harlem district, for instance, where the primary night returns suggested a 141 to 0 sweep by Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton, the vote now stands at 261 to 136. In an even more heavily black district in Brooklyn — where the vote on primary night was recorded as 118 to 0 for Mrs. Clinton — she now barely leads, 118 to 116.
Favorite part of the article: 
A number of political leaders also scoffed at the possibility that local politicians, even if they considered it vital that Mr. Obama or Mrs. Clinton prevail in the primary, were capable of even trying to hijack such a contest.</description>

		<description>New Mexico gave the pledged delegate count back to Hillary.


She leads in Super Delegates as well. Must be why Obama is whining about those.


Second place for Obama = Hillary loss

		<description>&lt;em&gt;“Greenspan says U.S. “on the edge” of recession”&lt;/em&gt;

We&#039;ve been in recession. Gov&#039;t military spending is included in the economy(has been since Bush Sr was POTUS, a big reason he was booted).

We&#039;ve been below the break even, tread water mark, a looooong time.</description>

		<description>A blog I&#039;d suggest linking to has come up with some sudden needs of its own.

&lt;blockquote&gt;Saturday, February 16, 2008

Back soon...

My good friend and long-time pal Lurch over at Main and Central recently passed away suddenly. I am still getting information about what happened from Fixer. 

Please keep Lurch and his family in your thoughts, and I&#039;ll post as I find out more. You can check in here or at Main and Central. I started &lt;b&gt;Main and Central&lt;/b&gt; several years ago as &lt;i&gt;a group blog for Vets who wanted to offer their own take on this misguided war and adminstration&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;b&gt;Lurch took over the bulk of building the site&lt;/b&gt;, and with it a loyal readership. Fixer has been posting there now to fill the vacuum and I will too. We will be looking for someone else who might be interested in perhaps taking it over. Drop me a line at my hotmail address in the sidebar.

More as I find out what&#039;s going on. Thanks...

		<description>&lt;blockquote&gt;So kids continue down your merry way on the yellow brick road to the magical kingdom run by the benevolent Queen Hillarina and remember all will turn out fine and we will all live happily ever after.&lt;/blockquote&gt;


As she was instrumental in her husband&#039;s presidency and by her work as a Senator, her ability to articulate and analyze complex issues beyond hope and wishes and quick cash and Middle Eastern sugar daddies, I believe Hillary understands the complexities of the economies, and hopefully, will be able to stimulate real job creation, while roping in the mindlessly obese monster Wall Street has become.

First, though, we have to understand why the economies behaves the way they do, and why the MSM behaves the way it does, in regard to Obama.

There was a report today about John Lewis switching to Obama, but not one word in regard to the AA arm twisting, or money Obama uses to blackmail his delegates.

How can the MSM hold it&#039;s head up, looking so stupid? Why would anyone give men like Olbermann or Chris Matthews the time of day, they&#039;re a joke, a faded fad, at least where it really matters.

aye, anyway, arista said they loved it, but the kids can&#039;t dance to it...

better lucjk next time...lol</description>

		<description>The BUSH depression is coming.  There is no way this depression can be twisted into being the democrat&#039;s fault, yet.  There is a trillion dollar a year savings to be had for the president who, facing this depression, brings the troops out of Iraq soonest.
That trillion won&#039;t make up for the 5 trillion in market value of book assets that have disappeared in the last MONTH.  The assets are worthless, the unpaid debts used to buy those assets remain to be collected out of the remaining employed taxpayer&#039;s wallets. The lucky 35,000 gm employees who will be furloughed will not have an income to garnish to pay these debts.  The even luckier still employed government drones will.  Unfortunately, being a government employee means never have to produce anything of value.</description>

		<description>While all you ppl are prattling about Obama, you should be preparing for the worst, not an Obama or McCain presidency but the worst depression this country has ever seen.

Oh yeah here goes Bill with his gloom and doom...well try reading the following articles and then stick you heads farther in the sand and pretend that when Queen Hillarina is running the country that all her vast experience is going to bring relief to the thousands  maybe millions of ppl in bread lines. Maybe Queen Hillarina will take time out for a photo op handing out a another stimulus pkg check to those in the bread lines.

     He&#039;s pretending to be the  messiah.  

     After that whopper, everything else is about hiding the ball - catching him lying or being a true believer. 

     It sounds as if you don&#039;t believe Susan!  How will you be saved by Obama if you don&#039;t believe?! 

     Two of my best assistants let me know a month ago that they believed he was the Anti-Christ.</description>
