Obama lied… that’s not the issue. Or just not all of it.

But what his behaviour is telling me, is that Obama thinks the Americans are stupid.

I’m not American, maybe I don’t have the right to talk about this. But I am however a citizen of the world. I also have friends and family in the USA. My taxes in the UK pay for the Iraq war. What happens in the USA affects the whole world.

I’m not sure I want to see the USA ran by a guy who won’t pledge allegiance and who’d rather stand with hishands on his genitals while the others do pledge allegiance.

I’m not sure I want the USA to be ran by a guy whose Princeton educated wife isn’t proud of her country.

I’m not sure I want to see the USA ran by someone whose kids are brought up in Wright’s church.

If that phone rings at 3 AM… will Obama care enough to answer it? Or will he roll on the other side?

Actually, I am very sure I don’t want the USA to be ran by this guy.

I made a list with the reasons why I don’t like Obama on a friend’s b log. http://elizabitchez.blogspot.com/2008/03/guest-post-by-soopermouse.html
This is as much on the issues as I could make it. I apologize for the blogwhoring, but you might find it of interest

I think is repugnant, but that said, from an impartial “musical” perspective, the call and response and cadence of speech and audience response, if one closes their eyes and listens, there are similarities.
The content of the speech is not directly material to the audio psychology involved and the effect it has.

I said this to the teacher, not realizing he was an Obama supporter, it dawned me after I proceeded to mention aspects of Obama’s past I disagreed with and his lack of qualifications, his face started to scrunch up and get frowny and he looked uncomfortable. I “hope” my kids passes his class (oops)

I typed the wrong word, my intention was tragedy.

I am not a troll. I was a bit tired today, I was unable to sleep last night, I couldn’t get this out of my head. I was not trying to dismiss this, at all. It was an horrible event in our history.

I am not perfect, and I am not a professional writer, and I try to be as informed as I can.

You would not believe the number of hits I am getting on my sight, by people searching the words “why did we inject black men with syphillis” or variations of that.

Anyway, again, I apologize. I did not mean to dismiss this at all, it was a stupid word mistake.

Sorry if I offended you.

Thanks for a well written and thoughtful artical. After reading your artical and reading this far my eye caught Fleaflickers’ comment about “trusting the source” and…

s_pew_ed , funny thing, words;

The Reverend;
supported state terrorism;

closer to that of Karl Marx, and black nationalism, than to Christianity
.

I am wondering what the military services members of our society think about all this.

Simply put, Michelle Obama, at an audience in Pennsylvania, asked us to “close our eyes and imagine Barrack Obama as president”. So I closed my eyes and what I heard was the Rev. Wright “speaking”. Similar cadence and all.

If Senator Obama is elected to be their commander-in-chief, his “spiritual mentor”, of 20 years, has cast a shadow long on their sacrifice. That, my friends, is NOT a good place to start from, as president.

It recalls what happened to JFK, when after assuming the office on the tail of the planning for the Pay of Pigs. (speaking of lipstick) This effort had been gaining in momentum in the last months of the Eisenhower Administration, and several VIPs in the military brass where none to pleased when JFK vacillated on continuing this effort, in effect going around the president .

Now it is one thing to show stupid bravado, with Obama saying he would continue Bush’s policy of firing missiles in to Pakistan, but it quiet another when your minister of two decades, “s_pew_es in the pews” and Senator Obama thinks one cold shower at our expense, will wash away the kool-aid stain. Many service members, past and present, are being tugged at between one’s oath to a country and ones cultural allegiance. I say ‘past’ because The Reverand Wright was a former Marine, yet I don’t hear speak him words like Semper Fidelis from his lips…And Obama? He lied.

Newsmax’s Kessler Scrubs Reference To His Obama Factual Blunder From His Wiki Page

…It turns out Kessler has been busy today scrubbing references to this episode of fact-bungling from his page at Wikipedia.

A reader emailed me the editing history of his page, and it shows one “KesslerRonald” editing out a big chunk of text describing various Kessler “controversies,” including the whole Newsmax/Obama/Kristol/Wright screw-up.

I checked in with Kessler himself, and he confirmed that he had done the deed. He said he’d cut out the reference to his own fact-bungling because it also contained a reference to an article criticizing him for his stance on torture — and that all of this was part of the same “left-wing” assault.

“Someone today added all this negative material, which is all from a left-wing perspective,” Kessler said. “And I took that out…I thought of that as all being part of the same package, just a total assault.”

Someone, alas, has returned the offending material to Kessler’s page, however. And it appears he’s given up on scrubbing it: He tells me that this time, he’s going to leave it in.

Yeah, yeah, that’s the ticket. I guess Kessler thought the story wasn’t so solid after all.
