Seriously, Is Obama Just a Puppet?

We first learned who was behind Obama and his inspiring speeches months ago. Those very speeches that excited the crowds, and drew people in. Those very speeches that many people voted for. Despite the fact that he ever really said anything more than just *hope* and *change*, people saw JFK, MLK and RFK all rolled into one. All because of his moving oratory, early on in the primary. But as I said, we learned who was responsible for those speeches.
Obama’s Speechwriter: A Baby Faced, 26-Year-Old White Guy
So, Obama is really, really successful at reading a teleprompter, and delivering someone else’s words. A puppet, you might say.
Then we learned that Obama was regurgitating words originally given by his friend Patrick Deval. Not once, but many times.
And we not only learned about *borrowed* speeches but also borrowed phrases.
“Sí Se Puede” or “yes we can” is from the United Farm Workers.
“Together we can” was the campaign slogan of Deval Patrick in 2006
“Fired Up! Ready to Go!” is from the NAACP in South Carolina, used by Jondelle Harris Johnson in the Civil Rights marches.
“We are the ones we’ve been waiting for.” is a Hopi Indian saying, used by Alice Walker as the title of her book.
But now we learn that not only is Obama a puppet when it comes to giving speeches, but his foreign policy isn’t his either. I knew he had very little foreign policy experience, if any, but doesn’t he have to do anything?? A cast of 300 prepare him daily? Who are these people that are affecting our foreign policy? Shouldn’t they be running for office, or at least vetted, since they are doing all the work?
A Cast of 300 Advises Obama on Foreign PolicyEvery day around 8 a.m., foreign policy aides at Senator Barack Obama’s Chicago campaign headquarters send him two e-mails: a briefing on major world developments over the previous 24 hours and a set of questions, accompanied by suggested answers, that the candidate is likely to be asked about international relations during the day.One recent Q. & A. asked, for example, whether Mr. Obama supported the decision by Iraq’s prime minister, Nuri Kamal al-Maliki, to include a timetable for American troop withdrawal in any new security agreements with the United States. The answer, provided to Mr. Obama with bullet points, was yes — or “a genuine opportunity,” as he put it in a speech on Iraq this week. Behind the e-mail messages is a tight-knit group of aides supported by a huge 300-person foreign policy campaign bureaucracy, organized like a mini State Department, to assist a candidate whose limited national security experience remains a concern to many voters.
I do take some comfort in knowing that many are from the Clinton White House and from Hillary’s staff. (funny how Obama always wanted to distance himself from the politics of the past, and from the Clinton’s, but he always surrounds himself with people from the Clintons years.)
I know all candidates, and all Presidents have advisors. I know they all have speech writers. But, if you take away Obama’s great speeches, and you take away his foreign policy advisors, what is left? Seriously. He has not accomplished anything. Nada. Zilch. And the LITTLE that he does do, now, (give speeches or comment on foreign policy) is totally scripted and provided by someone else. And when he speaks to groups like African Americans about taking responsibility, he is threatened with castration. And when he has taken a firm stance on an issue, he completely FLIPS and FLOPS on them – FISA, NAFTA, the surge in Iraq, campaign finance, guns, abortion…
Well, I think we have a pretty good idea of what happens when Obama is left to his own devices. Here are some new ones:
“Great” Moments in Presidential Speeches: Obama
Another Barack Obama Gaffe: A Civilian Army? (what is that all about??)
The Real Barack Obama, The Flip Flop Kid
The Obama Iraq Documentary: Whatever the Politics Demand
And of course, the classics:
Obama VS. Robert Gibbs on the surge
Obama Just words – just speeches – just think
Obama Claims He’s Visited 57 States
Obama on his dad and the flag?
Obama Gets Afghanistan Language Wrong
So, again I ask, is he just a puppet? A flip flopping, do nothing, know nothing, present voting, change jobs every two years, never having accomplished anything, hangs out with bigots, racists, and terrorists, gaffe machine, judgment lacking, slumlord buddy, vain, pandering puppet.
What does he stand for, really? We thought he was very left. But now he is moving further and further to the right. We can’t look at his voting history, because it is very un-telling (130 present votes on tough issues- intentional, me thinks) We can’t look at his resume because it is very, very short – he has spent more time campaigning then serving in the Senate (146 days). And his state senate job was part time, meeting 55 days a year.
Hell, we can’t even look at his birth certificate to know if he is who he says he is! We can’t even look to his books for information, because they are full of mistruths, and fictitious characters and situations.
I can’t figure out if he is super calculating and dangerous, or a puppet.
But, who is controlling his strings?

C’mon, I know you are constantly hammering Obama about any and everything he does, how about SOME balance. Is there even one small thing good about this guy, his policies and his followers? Unless you find some balance, you (NoQuarter) will soon be viewed as irrevelant. Perhaps you already are.
Can’t find balance if there is none.
NOBAMA
Seriously! What IS IT about OBAMA lemmings that makes them TRY and FORCE you to say good things about their master otherwise they MUST insult you for your clear thinking with reasoned examples and links to prove it.
IT MAKES THEM START SHAKING UNCONTROLLABLY!
It’s a default reaction to their bad programming I’m afraid! NO ability to think outside their odd looking box. (their default reaction phrase, “you are a racist and/or bigot” for not ADORING their Master Clown!
WONDERFUL job Gal in Italy!!
I doubt the troll paladin even let his/her eyes even look at any of the videos or other proof of his master’s many flaws.
It’s because they’ve invested so much of their own identity in their candidate and they can’t bear the thought that if he’s hollow that mightmake them hollow, too.
I feel sorry for them, but not sorry enough to ignore Obama’s obvious lies.
SaraInItaly!
Great post…full of information.
(From your favorite Destardi!
)
ciao!! :OD
as far as most people that belong to this coalition there is nothing good or redeeming about obama.if you think we are irrevelant then go back to pro barky sites.
Sorry, he has no accomplishments. His greatest accomplishments are a couple of books that are supposed to be fact but include a fair amount of fiction. He has coasted on his relationships. For a nobody from nowhere, he was able to exploit his relationships to include some of the most powerful people in Chicago. He gerrymandered his Illinois senate district to include some of the wealthiest areas of the city so he could exploit the lakefront liberals. Oh, that’s it! He is a world class, calculating manipulator who uses people and relationships for personal gain. Cuz he hasn’t done much for the people. He had done what he can for HIS people.
The American people are in serious jeopardy of having the worst judgment on earth…two Bush terms and then this figment of his own imagination?
It is making me sick to watch any press coverage on this Iraq trip as he “pretends” that he actually is someone these people need to meet.
Actually he has some accomplishments. He accomplished to line the pockets of his buddies in Chicago and displace thousands of low income AAs in his Chicago district. He accomplished a selected nomination from the DNC and he has accomplished to hoodwink every kool-aid drinker in his support group.
He also accomplished destroying the DNC and creating a great amount of dis-unity in what a few months?
The Democratic Party is about 183 years old…Obama destroyed it in about 6 months, I guess you can call that an accomplishment.
if that wasn’t so sad, and true, it would be really funny. ;O)
Okay, I’ll bite. Good things about Obama (from someone who will not vote for him):
1. On the surface, many of his stands are progressive. (We just don’t know what he really believes.)
2. He did overcome a horrible upbringing and made something of himself.
3. Has has, on some occasions, spoken unpleasant truths before hostile audiences (like speaking about black churches’ homophobia).
But there’s too much of a void for me to trust in, and he appears super expedient.
Horrible upbringing? I am not sure. How many can say that their mother stuck with the unwanted pregnancy and raised the kid and grandparents who gave him a nice home and education? He seems to have thrown that side of his family under the bus in his quest for adopting an abandoned father’s heritage for his own political expediency.
Are you kidding? His Indonesian stepfather was an oil executive. He went to the nicest prep school in Hawaii while living with grandma & grandpa. His grandmother, who raised him from 10 years of age, was a bank VP. Affirmative action helped land him stints at an Ivy League college and eventually a stint as Harvard Law Review editor, the first candidate to receive that job, NOT on merit, i.e. grades, but because of his minority status; as editor, he never wrote one article for the review, a first! After his tenure, they even changed the rules, requiring that the editor write an article.
His background was rich and luxurious. Filled with private schools and all the trimmings. He was spoiled rotten by his Grandmother. There is no record of student loans, food stamps or scholarships in Obama’s name. His Grandmother paid for everything just like Bushie
You have been bamboozled just like you are with his magic fantasy tour.
But material comforts are only part of the story. His father sounds like he was a nutjob (though Barack had almost no relationship with him –)… http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-431908/A-drunk-bigot–US-Presidental-hopeful-HASNT-said-father-.html
And if he was so happy with his mom, as he alleges, why this?
“And when Mr. Obama asked to stay in Hawaii for high school rather than return to Asia, she accepted living apart — a decision her daughter says was one of the hardest in Ms. Soetoro’s life.” http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/14/us/politics/14obama.html?_r=1&oref=slogin
I grew up in somewhat humble surroundings, but I’d take a conventional small town upbringing over his global wanderings.
I wish you had read my many postings on this site against Obama. There must be hundreds of them. I have not been bamboozled, and as I stated many times I will not vote for him.
He has had it better than most people on this board.
You are a kind hearted person katmandu, that is why you empathsize with Obama’s childhood. The sad thing is I don’t think Obama is capable of returning the favor. That being said, you’re right, he’s had some tough things in his childhood, but if you look in the biographies of millions of other people you will find hardships. Some succumb to these hardships, some overcome and do great things, and others, like Obama wear these on their sleeve and use their victim status as a tool to manipulate people and the system for their own gain.
I don’t even believe his descriptions of his childhood from his books.
I have read many accounts online from his childhood friends, and co-workers, and family members who contradict his recollections, all the time.
I think he tried to create his story, and make it more dramatic and difficult than it really was.
The media constantly says he was raised by a single mother, living on welfare or food stamps.
His grandparents raised him, while he attended private schools, and she went to university. He had friends, and skipped school to party and screw off. His friends always describe their lives ad normal.
He sure was a fat little kid. Looks like he ate well.
Don’t fall for this plea of being fair to Obama, when all the pro-obama sites were absolutely hateful towards Hillary.
Ha
He can almost dunk a basketball!
Boohay!
There is nothing positive about Obama and if you don’t like it — tough.
I am willing to donate to Obama if he wants to purchase some land in Guyana and move there with his zombie followers. Let history repeat itself.
Oh, I know a big good thing about him…his ABSENCE.
HA!! I agree with THAT!
Maybe besides his charisma and oratory powers there is nothing outstanding about him in terms of his qaulifications to be president.
This site is not irrelevant. It is part of what healthy democracy is. People have the right to question.
If you can think of anything that unequivically qualifies Obama for the presdencey or is “good” about him why not post it and answer your own question?
Maybe besides his charisma and oratory powers there is nothing outstanding about him in terms of his qaulifications to be president.
I can’t even give him that. He was boring before Oprah told us he wasn’t.
How many pro-obama sites said good things about Hillary? (of which there are many)
Hey, Sara, good article and thanks for all the links.
Funny, lately there are a lot of trolls writing the first comments, to preemptively disrupt a comprehensive discussion.
Things must be getting quite hot, judging the strong reappearance of probama trolls. Makes me feel confident, folks.
We will know we are irrelevant when characters like you stop showing up.
I know the answer to what Barack Obama stands for!!! Pick me! Pick Me!!!
He stands for Hopey-Changey!
And he even stole the *change* thing from Hillary.
She used *Ready for Change – Ready to Lead* and he ripped it off, and created *change you can believe in*
He was ripping her off, and calling her unbelievable (a liar) from the very beginning….
You just demonstrated the truth of P.T. Barnum’s old saying, “There’s a sucker born every minute.” Clearly, there was a bumper crop of suckers when you were born.
Can you say ONE good thing about bush?
I can’t.
obama=bush.
I was right about bush, I’m right about obama.
How’s that for the real deal?
I was right about Bush, too. I couldn’t believe that he could possibly have a chance at being the nominee, just as I felt about Obama. But the American people pay so little attention to actual facts that the
Madison Ave.Michigan Av.campaign for Obama had been perfectly pitched for them. They are only watching the “commercial messages,” courtesy of our lax and shameful corporate stooges in the MSM.Tragic.
My friends were so convinced Al Gore would win, and I jut ignored that whole election. I wouldn’t say anything when anyone talked about politics, and they would finally ask me point blank, “Do you think Bush will win?”
I just said, “Yes.” And everyone would get all excited and outraged, then they’d challenge me and ask why. I’d say, “I don’t care for either of them. I prefer Gore, because I voted for Clinton.” Everyone gushed and agreed. I continued, “Because they’re stupid. In the end, people vote on very simple things like, “Because his dad was the President, and he’s been groomed for the job.”
I feel the same way! I knew where Bush would take us.
I remember telling people back when it was Gore v bush that Bush reminded me of the Martin Sheen character in Dead Zone. I couldn’t believe people couldn’t see him for what/who he was/is.
Same goes for Obama.
The only good thing about Obama is that speech he made in 2004 saying he was not qualified to be President!
Oh, please educate us on “one little thing” he’s done. Seriously, I really would like to hear about it. I’ve asked Obama supporters again and again why are they supporting him. The only response I got was the e-mail debunking the claim that he’s a muslim.
I don’t give a shit whether he’s a muslim or not (I’m an atheist myself). His close 20-year relationship with Rev Wright DOES bother me.
C’mon, tell why you’re supporting him. Tell us HIS merits.
An empty suit has no substance, and hey what can you say about this suit?
lies, then cannot keep his lies straight
1) too thin
2) too girlie
3) stammers, stutters without a telepromter
4) takes credit for others work
5) whines
6) race baits
7) phrases things in a childish way
9) poses throwing his nose in the air
10) wears purple/blue lipstick or is related to Arafat?
There is more, much more but I will leave it for now.
Even the laundry cannot help this empty suit, it’s too dirty for Goodwill. At the rag factory this white woman once worked at, all cheap suits went into what was called shoddy…
Please don’t call me racist. I once voted for Obama in the Florida primary, but hey my vote doesn’t matter. Obama conned me once but NO OBAMA EVER! The shoddy pile is in the bin, yeah that one right next to the trash.
Well, uhhh, he’s good to his…uhhh, white grandmother, uhhh, no, he..uhhh… called her a racist… wait, I’ve got it! He, uhhh, let’s Michelle say anything she wants even when it…uhhh…damages his campaign…uhhh, “presidency”.
Balance.
I think he is nice-looking.
I think he reads a great speech from a teleprompter.
He was smart enought to get a law degree.
That’s about it.
whats the bet it is one of Tylor Marsh’s drones.
NoObama
Nope, nothing good…
http://nativeamericansagainstobama.wordpress.com/
Find some balance? Dude… this is why it’s called “the politics of personal destruction.” They must hammer Obama on everything (even when it makes them look stupid… as in attacking him for using speechwriters!) They must mock his name. They must insult his wife. They must spread the “whitey” tape and Larry Sinclair lies.
They are character assassins. It’s what they do.
Tell ya what, undercover…
If Obama had taken the FISA vote to stand tall for America’s Constitution the way Nelson Mandela stuck up for human rights in his earth-moving “This is a cause for which I am prepared to sacrifice my life, if needs be.” speech, Obama would have earned my respect.
Instead, Obama has earned nothing.
I think that this article is beautifully writeen.
NOBAMA!!!!!
Strings and all, looks like they are set in advance to do what they want to: Must be nice to be so sure in advance.
it’s THIS kind of dereliction of duty from the DNC that sent my MOM over the edge to change her PARTY after SIXTY FIVE freeeeeakin YEARS HOWIE!!!
DO YOU UNDERSTAND HOW HUGE THAT IS???
MUCH MORE HUGE THAN ANY MINORITY FLAG RAISING PARTY!
TRUST ME!
My MOM btw is no bitter ignorant hick!
She is from INDIANA
Born on a farm w/6 brothers and sisters
Was a Deputy in Crown Point for 10 yrs
Quit work to raise 2 kids
When we moved to FLA & when I was ready for 1st grade she went BACK to work for the local school system (since she had a degree anyway) and ended up retiring from there 20 plus years later, now retired and widowed and FEELS TOTALLY BETRAYED by the party.
Nice going DNC
13 minute video about BO….long, but informative
where? link please
Good post. Scary, isn’t it? In fact in a debate he said he was not an operational (details oriented) guy (read another Bush)and he will hire advisers. So it takes 300 advisers, it looks like to get him ready everyday. Who are they? Are people voting for HIS judgment and integrity or his army of advisers’? 300? I would laugh if it was not serious, scary and definitely sad (for America).
Let’s try this again…
http://www.eyeblast.tv/Public/Video.aspx?rsrcID=2036
oh, I posted this video somewhere on another thread. Interesting, scary
Some of his backers: Zbigniew Brzezinski (he seems to have a vendetta against Russia) and his son Mark;Susan Rice, Richard Clarke,the Rockefellers, Dennis Ross;Soros, Gene Sharp;Goolsbee and Howard Dean- to mention a few.
Google them. Basically they are the equivalent of the right wing neocons. Most of the above are wall street protectors among war-mongers. Research the Trilateral Commission and Brindenberg (sp?) group.
Obama is most definitely a puppet on many strings.
roseriter,
That’s “Bilderberg” group. And you are absolutely correct about his backers. They are the flip side of neo-cons and the BO supporters are acting exactly like the bush supporters did when we tried to warn them against supporting him!
Deja vu all over again.
These people are the Internationalists, when you see Ziggy Brzezinski and George Soros you know the deal, it’s Jimmy Carter Lite, at least Jimmy had done something in his life, Obama has spent his entire life promoting himself, this is his 6th election in 12 years. He knows how to seek out people that can help him, that’s all that matters. He sucked up to Bill Ayers and got positions on the Board of the Woods Fund and the Chairmanship of the ANNENBERG CHALLENGE GRANT. I think Obama is a person damaged by his abandonment by both his Father and Mother and it made him a “people pleaser”, unable to take a stand on anything because it won’t please everyone, he likes to be all things to all people.
I agree…
Sorry, I hate to disagree. He’s not a pleaser, he’s a user.
Zbig and Soros were behind Kerry, too. Johnson and Nye were behind Edwards. They pop up every few years, pushing a new candidate. It’s always a doozie, too.
The Brzezinski Group is also advising the McCain campaign so don’t expect much difference in foreign policy. That is another example of the entire political process being out of the hands of the voter. Special interests will be represented no matter who is elected. McCain has at least shown some independence in the past. Today’s NYT has a front page article about that.
He has Mark Brzezinski, but I don’t know who else. These creeps will always find their way behind the scenes, and any President will find a lot of people whispering in his ear. Sometimes several people at once. Obama does not stand up well under pressure. He does not like being criticized. I could see him getting real bitter and withdrawing from all decision-making, consoling himself with all the goodies he can pilfer for himself and his adoring throngs (lots of parties and maybe a basketball court!) McCain on the other hand is known for showing a bit of independent thinking. He is experienced and has first hand knowledge of how our military works while we’re in two wars. It’s an open and shut argument. If we had preferred a happy balance between the two, we could have chosen Hillary, but nooooo…
Zbig. the guy who helped make sure the Taliban stayed right where they are. We ought to dress him up in a buhrqa and ship him over there with is ankles showing and see how well that works out for him.
Zbig. The guy who told Jihadists, “God is on your side”.
zbig. The guy who took photo ops with Osama Bin Laden, “Freedom Fighter”.
We know what zbig likes. I guess Obama likes what zbig likes since he admires his advise so much.
Zbig, father of the loon daughter on MSNBC with Morning Joe, she led the pitchfork mob that went after Hillary any chance they could. They make me puke.
add jimmy carter, george soros
Obama’s rise to the top? Shit floats. Nuff said.
Who knows who or what this guy is. He won’t tell us and the media don’t care to ask.
How many advisers does it take to teach Obama foreign policy?
No one knows that either.
I agree that Obama is a puppet. The similarities between him and George W. Bush are frightening. Clearly, Axelrod is Obama’s Rove and the one actually putting on the show.
As for who is pulling the strings, we need only look at those instrumental in selecting him in defiance of the majority will. That would be Dean (strong-arming the Rules and Bylaws Committee and non-elected superdelegates), Pelosi and Reid (strong-arming the elected superdelegates) and Kennedy and Kerry (providing access to their massive fund-raising networks). I shudder to think where they would take this country with the unfettered power of controlling their personal marionette in the White House.
Do you think it’s a coincidence that Pelosi is also in Soros’ pocket? That’s why she did not stick up for Hillary nor did she lift a finger to push the DNC to defend her, as they did for BO.
This is an orchestrated coup to take over from the inside.
For quite a few years Soros had been the DEMS biggest Money Man, and money does talk. I think he’s the biggest backer of MoveOn and I’m sure he funds other groups as well that fit HIS AGENDA
BINGO! It’s George Soros. The Main Sponsor of MOVEON and the DailyKos. I wish someone would check out all those “small” donations to see where they are coming from. We know Rezko and Auchi found ways to put Money into Obama’s Senate Race, and I’m sure Soros is putting more in than known.
I heard it explained yesterday on CNN to my surprise. The Invesko Field acceptance speech is happening because they are afraid. Very afraid of Hillary’s supporters who will count for half the people occupying the Pepsi Center. They wouldn’t want there to be any opposing views so they hope to drown out those calling his nomination the fraud that it has become.
I heard that they had requests for about 7,000 seats for the 75,000 seat arena. But with unemployment as it is, I am sure they will be able to hire a few more.
If they get Usher and give away free seats, they could fill the stadium.
Who said it and did the comment get buried in fluff.
Obama has a fancy new plane that is unmistakably his. http://blogs.abcnews.com/politicalpunch/2008/07/air-obama.html Doesn’t this contradict all the hooting and hollering from last week about McCain compromising the security of Obama’s visit? Someone really concerned about security would have a plane that looked generic.
“Air Obama”??? Well, let’s look at it this way. He’d better enjoy himself now because McCain is going to kick his ass in the Fall. He and the DNC thugs won’t be able to steal the General Election the way they’ve stolen the primary.
r u sure Sugar?
I pray you are right GF.
If they were able to steal the nomination, don’t believe there is no plan in place to win. From the beginning of the premaries, I told my family BHO was GUARANTEED the presidency. That explains why he is so arrogant and claims they do not need our votes. By putting this coliation together and bringing out his negatives everyday is getting the DNC nervous. Keep up the good work.
Pardon me, I’m looking for the meeting of Self-Hating Negroes Against Obama. Could any of you ladies direct me? Oh, it’s right here!
;^D
I think Obama is a puppet and this is a real danger due to his shady past. Obama has spent his entire life seeking out and aligning himself with radicals and Marxists. We have all of this information from Marxist professors to Ayers to Wright and on and on.
These radicals who have been part of Obama’s life for over two decades see this as their time to push forth their agenda. I understand Sharpton is in the wings also. We all know that Obama has no experience, no accomplishments, no ability, and no character. He is unable to make good or rational decisions. Every radical nut will be trying to pull Obama’s strings.
Where is the leadership in this country to prevent this fiasco from happening? What is the matter with the American people who are allowing this madness to unfold? Is this country turning into Stepford wifes who can’t think for themselves but just follow the herd?
If Obama gets elected let the mayhem begin.
As much as I detest Obama and all he stands for, in a small way, we all are responsible for this happening. Most of us HAVE become lazy and narcissistic in our views and actions in everyday life. Think about it, Obama is the perfect leader for a narcissistic nation (and world) of plastic surgery, worship of youth and good looks, disrespect to aging citizens wisdom because they don’t look fresh anymore, sarcastic advertising, humanism and the list goes on and on.
If we are even slightly responsible for this grave possible event, we can also turn it around. We need to beef up our efforts to take this narcissistic puppet down and put him in his place.
I always thought he was the new Paris Hilton.
He is the political equivalent.
A vapid American Idol presumptuous nominee.
Hey, Wonkette says definitively that the new Basketball photo of THE AUDACITY is from 2006.
No Obama. Not now. Not ever.
Big Bro’ O is a Limbaugh-Rove caricature of a Democrat. I think he is another national credulity test – same as Dubya and Ronald Reagan.
yea I”m just wondering how badly we will fail THIS test since we FAILED the others you mentioned (I agree) lol
Excellent post Sara!
“…funny how Obama always wanted to distance himself from the politics of the past, and from the Clinton’s, but he always surrounds himself with people from the Clintons years.”
Yes and the even funnier thing is, so many of his hope-fiends fell for this bit. He told them all exactly what they wanted to hear and they fell for it and now that he keeps shifting and changing, they don’t know what to think. So, they wait for him to tell them what to think. Sad.
New Anti-Obama Movie: Hype – The Obama Effect
Movie trailer and ad. Citizens United Productions has a new movie coming out aiming straight at the Messiah.
http://patriotroom.com/?p=577
Hold the phone Chuck we have a winner.
Citizens United made “Hillary The Movie”. At the time it was announced, she was the inevitable candidate… this was before the Obamamedia launched its war against Hillary. At that time , being a conservative, I was deadset against Hillary (That Obama was a Marxist wasn’t known yet) and thought the trailers for the movie were great and accurate.
http://www.hillarythemovie.com/trailer.html
But now seeing who the choices are. Obama or McCain, Hillary doesn’t seem that bad anymore.
On another topic…
Good job getting your girl out of debt in June!
$2.7 million. WOW!
Go PUMA!!!
AWESOME!! Gee since PUMA is so small and insignificant, wonder how we did that?? It sure wasn’t from any big corporations-they are all helping BO w those tiny $68 donations…RIGHT….
Yes, I’m sure PUMA raised that ENTIRE $2.7 million!!!
Doubt it condidering your noble leader donated almost as much to McCain as Hillary. But she’s a life long democrat. Riiiiight.
It’s very sad kellie that you have to resort to dissing Murphy a dedicated, courageous Hillary supporter. You make me sick. You kellie couldn’t wipe the mud off her shoe. Find another talking point punk.
You really just called Darragh Murphy a “dedicated, courageous Hillary supporter”???
You need my help even more than I thought!
She is nothing more than a republican piggy, just like the rest of you. Oink oink!
Thanks Kellie, the pig noises really made your scum bag comment even more delicious.
Hey, maybe her fat pig husband heard her oinking and will come drag her off to their sty. They can roll around in their filth like two pigs in a blanket.
Oh how sad that you had to revert back to the hate mantra and insulting people.
Didn’t you hear me yesterday, and the day before that, and the day before that when I said:
STOP THE HATE, HATER!
No OBush 08!
john kerry asked mccain to be his running mate in 2004.
john kerry supports obama.
al gore asked joe leiberman to be his running mate in 2000.
al gore now supports obama.
joe leiberman supports mccain.
does that make obama a *republican piggy* too?
(hillary supporters are not allowed to have contributed to john mccain in 2000 without being called republican pigs, but Obama’s strongest supporters are?)
The only pig I see is Kellie.
Sorry Donna.
Another Obama freak came on here saying that Hillary’s debt grew by $1 million in the month of June. It’s a lie. The NYT Caucus blog reprted on June 18 that Hillary’s debt is now only $12.5 million dollars. That is the same figure Will Bower gave in an interview. That means PUMAs have raised over $10 million for Hillary to give her more leverage to negotiate with the DNC and have her name on the roll call ballot at the convention.
Unlike your master. Obama is a life long narcissist only for himself.

Google Bill Ayers, Obama’s friend:
Obama acknowledged going to Bill Ayers home and states that Bill Ayers is a close friend of his. In a 2001 article with the NY Times about Ayers book “Fugative Days”.
“He also writes about the Weathermen’s sexual experimentation as they tried to ‘’smash monogamy.” The Weathermen were ”an army of lovers,” he says, and describes having had different sexual partners, including his best male friend.”
I have a link but the site won’t allow it to be posted.
???I have a link but the site won’t allow it to be posted.
Which site? NQ?
“I can’t figure out if he is super calculating and dangerous, or a puppet.”
I have been pondering this same exact question for days. I am leaning towards puppet. And I’ll tell you why. The establishment loathes an upstart. It makes them jealous, nervous, concerned about losing their own power and authority. They usually join forces to knock the rising star down a few pegs. Keep the power on a level playing field. Yet, we see none of that… Pelosi, Dean, Kennedy, Biden et. al. give him full-throated backing, throwing their own machines behind him (or in Dean’s case actually subjugating to him.) Look how NERVOUS Hillary’s 18 million strong coalition and quarter of a billion dollar war chest made them. Yet Barky NObama doesn’t scare them, doesn’t make them jealous or concerned. They think they can control him. THEY think he is a puppet.
Obama is a joke, Globetrotting in Afghanistan, and Iraq like he will accomplish something. Here is what I have seen that I was not quick enough to change the channel. He was playing basketball, with the troops in Afghanistan, which he did for photo opportunities. In Iraq I saw him carrying a food tray with the troops, just another photo opportunity.
How about JUST ONE photo out on a mission with the troops? Or how about one picture holding a hearing on the subcommittee on Foreign Policy that you CHAIR. We will most likely not see any because that would be doing your job.
Obama has done nothing, except draft a bill to send millions overseas…
http://nativeamericansagainstobama.wordpress.com/
The image of a million German masses screaming for Obama at a site that has Nazi associations is extremely disturbing. Roger Cohen in the NYTimes today cautions Obama “Sobriety, sobriety, sobriety.”
Obama cannot help himself. He can’t stop his grandiosity. He’s a narcissist. A charismatic narcissist. But, there have been other charismatic speakers who wowed the masses before in history. How’d that turn out for us?

AmericanGirl In Italy, great post on “who writes this crap”…It reflects on BO lack of judgement. I don’t fault the “speechwriter” for taking the gig, I think talent is hard to find these days.

We know the bloated kind of guvmint we can expect from Obama. 300 foreign policy advisers, and now this:
This is all from Wonkette —
http://wonkette.com/401281/obama-has-a-massive-staff-wokka-wokka#more-401281
Just what we need more of — an explosion in the federal budget even worse than we have now.
I’d rather look stupid than actually be stupid.
stupid is as stupid does, get it Forrest?
Where do you get yours? Obama’s campaign website?
Many of these articles and news reports come from various sources both in the U. S. and out of the U.S. Why don’t you try some research of your own? I’m really just trying to help you so you don’t appear so uninformed.
(I won’t use the i [gnorant] word.)
I love this part:
Sometimes he even thinks for himself! This is George W. all over again. Remember George Shultz praising Bush for saying “I don’t understand that, can you explain that to me?”
they left out the part where no one advised Obama to hold meetings while on the Foreign Relations Committee. He’s just a lazy fuck…not bright either if he thinks the Great Lakes are in Oregon and there are 57 states. Only a very unintelligent person would try to slide all that by us. His main group of supporters are a bunch of thugs, punks and over educated know it alls who mistake book smarts for common sense.
Obama has lived in Chicago his whole adult life. Chicago sits on one ofthe Great Lakes. Just how dumb do you have to be to think there is a Great Lake in Oregon? And, it was 58 states, not 57. He said he had visited 57 and had only one to go.
In his explanation for his HUGE loss to Clinton in KY he tried to pass of that she had an advantage being that KY was so close to her home state of Arkansas. One again Obama showed his knowledge of geography. KY borders Illinois.
So, last week Obama supporters were going nuts because McCain kept getting away with Czech vs Czech Republic without the media attacking him for it. But, where was all the media attention for Obama’s lack of knowledge of the US?
thanks for clarifying, so now I need to know the name of the other 8 states. Good point, he lives in Illinois and doesn’t know where the Great Lakes are??
Nunn called it chezkloslovakia as well, guess that eliminated the GE board member, DADT frakker from VP list too, GOOD
I loved this one about his visiting South Dakota. The “Big Ears” joke got passed around, but this one got a pass. Notice it’s from an AP source, Kellie Piggie.
Barack Obama made a late night visit to Mount Rushmore while campaigning is South Dakota, and an AP reporter had the following exchange with him:
He did express curiosity about the filming of a chase scene in “North by Northwest,” Alfred Hitchcock’s 1959 classic starring Cary Grant and Eva Marie Saint that included a death-defying scramble over Rushmore’s presidential faces.
“How did they get up there in the first place?” he asked ranger Wesley Jensen.
“They didn’t. It was a movie set,” Jensen told him.
“Pretty spiffy, isn’t it,” said the Illinois senator, summing up his overall impressions.
Note to Obama: They didn’t use a real Death Star in Star Wars either.
Obama will make dubya look like a scholar.
Good grief.
Is our inward man being nourished and strengthened by others is the question? I am sure even an elderly woman that has been confined to her bed is aware of this deceit.
And I see Gore doesn’t really want to work with him. Smart. If it happens, the Obama administration will be a train wreck.
http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0708/11895.html
I agree with you about Gore- just watch his body language- eyes downward when he clapped..I saw that netroots moment on cspan.
Could you even imagine the audacity of starting that rumor? He was VP for 8 years and overshadowed by Hillary, had the Presidency stolen from him by Bush and thwarted by his own inept campaigning, he still won an Oscar and a Nobel Peace prize and is quite a successful speaker and businessman now. And then this rumor goes around that Obama might pick him to do all the heavy lifting in his administration and make sure he doesn’t screw up too badly! Thanks, but no thanks. It’s ridiculous to even think of when you recall how long he took to endorse during the primaries.
Great piece. And yes, he is most DEFINITELY a puppet. That is what is TRULY scary abt him – who is pulling the strings!!
The 57 states of Islam. I wonder when Obama is going to be done campaigning all 57 states?
I know the names of 50 states, can anyone tell me the names of the other 7 and when they entered our union because I missed that part in History class.
Maybe Oblah plans to add some states….his own Manifest Destiny! Watch out Canada, you could be next! hmm…come to think of it he also thought Canada had a President, a little freudian slip??
Samantha Power did say her buddy in canada and Bwawack would RULE N America, she didnt mention Mexico, perhaps they plan to annex it, uh huh
Power is really naive IMHO and she will have a hand in his policy believe it
here she is years ago on Mugabe and Zimbabwe, the only trouble she has with throwing owners off lands and taking them is it wasnt orderly redistribution? the only trouble with attacking an entire race is the economic impact?
what a piece of work she is!!
))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))))
…Initially, the farmers held their ground, but it became clear after several white farmers were murdered that they were too few and Mugabe’s regime was too determined. Of the 4,000 large-scale commercial farmers in business three years ago, all but 500 have been forced off their land. Most Zimbabweans (including white farmers) say that land reform was both necessary and inevitable. The tragedy of Mugabe’s approach is that it has harmed those whom a well-ordered, selective redistribution program could and should have helped. Generally the farms have not been given to black farm managers or farm workers. Indeed, because of their association with the opposition, more than a million farm workers and their dependents have been displaced, and they are now at grave risk of starvation. In fact, the beneficiaries of the land seizures are, with few exceptions, ruling-party officials and friends of the President’s. Although Mugabe’s people seem to view the possession of farms as a sign of status (the Minister of Home Affairs has five; the Minister of Information has three; Mugabe’s wife, Grace, and scores of influential party members and their relatives have two each), these elites don’t have the experience, the equipment, or, apparently, the desire to run them. About 130,000 formerly landless peasants helped the ruling elites to take over the farms, but now that the dirty work is done, many of them are themselves being expelled…
snip
…Mugabe’s belief that he can strengthen his flagging popularity by destroying a resented but economically vital minority group is one that dictators elsewhere have shared. Paranoid about their diminishing support, Stalin wiped out the wealthy kulak farming class, Idi Amin purged Uganda’s Indian commercial class, and, of course, Hitler went after Jewish businesses even though Germany was already reeling from the Depression. Whatever spikes in popularity these moves generated, the economic damage was profound, and the dictators had to exert great effort to mask it…

Power was screwing him. He’s ACDC, but not enough to sleep with the she-male he married.
Thanks Roseeriter, I found the article. Ayer’s is gross. “Kill your parents” he says. Charming.
So Ayers has sex with guys just because he’s trying to “smash monogamy?” He says if he didn’t have sex guys, then he would feel bad because it would mean he has hang-ups about sex.
BO has some great friends.
so, obama’s buddy was bisexual?
and stuart levine used to throw drug and sex parties.
and oprah did a story on chicago men living on the down low.
but people believe it is impossible that BO could have had bisexual relations?
The Repub’s are sneaky. I am sure they know plenty, they can get any info they want and come out smelling like a rose. And even if they do get caught, they have a fall guy so the rest of them look innocent. Everyone is just being extremely careful because of Obama’s noteriety of being the first black Presidential nominee. After August, they are going to clean Obama’s clock. If I remember correctly, past nominees didn’t get pounced on until after the official convention. Besides they are going to want to make sure they don’t start blowing their ammo too early. They want to make sure it is close to voting time to have the impact and not be forgotten.
pass the popcorn! :OD
Larry Sinclair’s on their payroll. Obama asks a limo driver to find a suck buddy, and he picks this guy? They drive an hour out of the way to pick him up from the airport and order drugs? I have no idea, but it’s odd that Biden and his son couldn’t break up that press conference sooner. But if there is any truth to the rumors, I bet Republicans keep guys like Sinclair around to out a few enemies.
Ater you take away his speeches itis still too early for your question of “what is left?”
I read on other sites that Obama is not abandoning his progressive ideals with his flip/flops and moves toward the right. No, No they say. If you have been paying attention all along, you would have understood that Obama has always been a centrist.
But, we all know, whether Obaba was a centrist all along or not, he use his image as a progressive to win the primaries. If the voters had an inaccurate impression of Obama during the primaries, his campaign made NO EFFORT to correct it with accurate information.
So, if Obama won the primary by saying he was a new kind of politician who wouldn’t LIE to voters like old style politicains and he was lying while he said that. And, then you also now take away the speeches.
WHAT IS LEFT?
if he is a centrist than why is he considered the most liberal Senator in Congress? The Bots are as stupid as he is or just incredibly naive or both.
Creeeeeeeepy he said 57 states. It HAS to be a slip about Islam. BO is so untrustworthy. He really scares me.
Great blog.
Obama = Bush III
I am getting my helmet on and seatbelt ready. The agenda from the Ovomit administration is going to be much more jarring to American ways of life than the Bush administration ever was.
Hello??? Dean, Reid, Pelosi, Brazile, Obama…remember us out here…the people, yeah, um the people, as in we the people!!!! This is suppose to be about us not you!!!!
Sarainitaly–great post!!!!!!!! miss you at camille’s.
i was over there all day yesterday! :OD (i have been trying to get outside a little more lately… this political season did not bode well for my butt. HA)
I like the David Letterman clip with Obama speaking at a town hall about healthcare. He obviously doesn’t know what he’s talking about. I think that would make a great commercial for McCain……why is Obama refusing to town hall meetings with John McCain…cut to clip of know-nothing oblahma stammering and chuckling.
I really don’t think BO is some great mastermind. I think he is just crooked guy who will say and do anything to get elected. He’s really not that bright.
I definitely do not see the great moral leader that his followers see. I don’t think BO has any scruples at all.
I totally think BO could be bisexual.
Whatever people want to do with their sex lives is ok. I just have to question the reasons they give. He threw it out there for scrutiny! I mean, Ayers is saying he has sex with men just because he doesn’t want to have “hang ups.”
What kind of person has sex with the same gender just to prove something? It has nothing to do with attraction??? Sorry, that is bizarre! ROFLMAO
I guess the kind of man who blows up government buildings for fun.
If the shoe fits….
Yes. The Manchurian Candidate.

How can you put Fair and Balanced into Obama, wns’s he’s had NO ACCOMPLISHMENTS!!!None
You’re right protest, a person like Ayers is beyond my true understanding, thank god. But BO identifies with Ayers very well, apparently. Since he is good friend of his.
I know this is off-topic, but I want to say something about the comments from the pro-Obama people. Their only reason for commenting here is to anger us and get our “ire” up. All they want is to mess with us. When we respond to their posts, they get their pay-off. Just don’t respond to their comments anymore. Skip over them to the next comment you agree with. Totally ignore them. Eventually, maybe they will stop coming to this site. I know this will be difficult to do, since most of them say the most inane things. Stop giving the Obama worshipers what they want. Oh, and Larry, thank you for giving people like us, who actually care about our country, a forum.
you’re absolutely right but sometimes it’s fun to mess w them back. Alot of times they can’t comprehend our logic and they leave.
There’s a rule in politics to not let a bad comment go unchallenged…Kerry learned that with the Swiftboaters in 04. I don’t know if ignoring the trolls would work completely. They would then copy and paste and argue with themselves I’m afraid. Either way they take over the thread.
And they are sooo easy to put down. Especially Believe, Undercover Turd Man, and spOracle.
Are you mocking my race, Porta-Johnny?
;^D
Well, let’s see, he got his wife and his friends(who he has disowned because, they weren’t the people he knew for twenty years) big fat raises and big money contracts. His “friends”, who were supposed to repair the housing projects in the south side of Chicago, kept the money and didn’t fix anything so now the people are living in worse squalor than they ever were when the state handled it. In fact, a young boy died recently due to an iron fence that had not been fixed as it should have been (it fell on him and killed him). He voted “present” on many important pieces of legislation… why? did he not have the time, did he not have an opinion, or did he not want the public to know where he stood? He keeps harping on the fact that we need more troops in Afghanistan (which we do), but hasn’t held meetings of the Foreign Relations committee that he heads, which directly affects what happens in Afghanistan, because he “has been too busy running for President. While in the Illinois state senate, he voted against the Born Alive Infants Protection act twice and blocked it coming up for a re vote once, thankfully, it was passed at the Federal level (by Hillary Clinton, Kennedy, Kerry, and others). I am pro choice, but the situation that brought that bill about was absolutely horrible. The ego this man has, to run for President of the United States with the absolute lack of experience that he has, is incredible. He has ruined the reputations of people who have been fighting for the rights of people of all races their whole careers, because anyone that questions him or his ideas must be a racist. He limits his press coverage to a minuscule amount of questions because he doesn’t want to have to give too many answers, he won’t debate (because he sucks at it), he won’t do town hall meetings (because he can’t use a teleprompter and a speech. He won’t produce his original birth certificate…why? Seems to me someone in authority should have to see that from every candidate when they register to run for office. I don’t know how anyone could vote for this man, and it has nothing to do with race. It has everything to do with his lack of experience, his lack of character, his lack of judgment, his choice of friends, and his very thin skin. I think Dean, Pelosi, Kennedy, and the like, wanted him in because they thought they could control him better than a strong person like Hillary. I think they have now created a monster, and they will be in for a big surprise if this creep gets elected.
dead on.
I second that!!
Let’s be honest:
Obama is the puppet of the Trilateral Commission, and the puppet master is Zbig Brizinsky.
OHB is to be the Perfect Master and the new face of the Anglo-American Empire.
And you know that Barky will be the perfect President to order a Draft, er um, National Service Requirement.
If Bambie wasn’t a puppet , he wouldn’t be there.
I don’t know who started the ball rolling, but it was evident very early on that segments of the Democratic Party were going to be playing second-fiddle! Over and over, comments about the AA base demanding that “O” was the nominee…OR ELSE! There are many now that are worried about his stances, and I don’t think they can control him. Good luck trying! I’m happy for them!HAHAHA!
Any good thing about Obama? He has good teeth…”all the better to bite you with, my dear”!
(With apologies to Red Riding Hood.)
Kind of off-topic, but puppet or dictator wanna-be, his adoring MSN entourage should think twice. Go to the link to see the dress code BO’s campaign issued to the press for his “world tour”.
http://www.americanthinker.com/blog/2008/07/obama_campaign_issues_dress_co.html
Guess he thinks the presidency includes ownership of the media. And thus the female reporters who dare to enter the field of journalism need to just shut up and get over it.
Obama may not know anything about German history but he knows those Muslim customs and dress codes! Can see it now – Burkas to be distributed before leaving the plane to those who forgot to pack their own.
It’s just another illustration of his incredible arrogance. As I see it, he is on this overseas trip acting like he already won the election. He’s campaigning over there, and instead of listening he’s talking. Further, Uppity Woman reports via The Real Barack Obama that his campaign has banned signs and banners when he gives his “big speech” in Germany.And then there is his classless new campaign jet (also at The Real Barack Obama site).
Move over GWB, BHO is the big kahuna when it comes to oppression and control.
So, again I ask, is he just a puppet? A flip flopping, do nothing, know nothing, present voting, change jobs every two years, never having accomplished anything, hangs out with bigots, racists, and terrorists, gaffe machine, judgment lacking, slumlord buddy, vain, pandering puppet.
insert: teleprompter reading in your descriptions above
He cannot function without a teleprompter in front of him, and his head is always bobbing back and forth from one teleprompter to the other.
It is easy for Obama to read prepared text, but he doesn’t seem to have the capacity to think before he speaks.
Once you realize that when it looks like he’s watching a tennis match, it means he’s reading a TelePrompter, you notice it everywhere. Left-Right-Left-Right goes Obama’s head. More people need to know this.
This is the best compilation of Obama’s World that I have seen. And there are a lot of great one out there.
Way to Go Italy Girl!
thanks johnny! I have spent a LOT of time reading and learning and *investigating* this past year. I have lots o’ info on him, and lots more I have written about on my blog.
he definitely has an interesting past to dig into.
Aren’t people considered “PUPPETS” that can’t judge correctly and cannot speak without change? Obama is “THE POSTER PUPPET” for change….He waddles and dangles with head shanking changing from left to right to center to far left to some place far right…When he gives speeches his head is tilted with front of head toward back with chin changing like he’s confused….He better be cautious or Soros will cut his umbilical cord.( tethering or supply line)
Gotta have a Puppet for VP ,too! Who will Barky pick,or is it who will Soros pick to join Barky together with so he can manipulate both with his supply line?
Wait a minute….Who is doing what for Sen Obama? Do I see a ’shift’ occurring? The more important, crucial people in Sen Obama’s campaign are being kept from public view and newer faces are being presented to the public as being the REAL brains behind the Obama campaign?
Is Sen Obama undergoing a ‘makeover’ in effort to ‘clean up’ his image? Is he trying to convince the public that hard work and ethics got him to where he is today versus good old CHicago politics and bare-knuckled, possibly illegal-definetely unethical campaign tactics? To understand who is really behind Obama, research pre-12/07 period.

“David Plouffe is the man steering Obama’s campaign” By Peter Nicholas, Los Angeles Times , July 8, 2008
Political strategists say David Plouffe is smart, competitive, confident and frugal. And they say he has no intention of straying from his unconventional and audacious strategy to get Barack Obama elected.
Is Sen Obama’s past record an indication of how good Sen Obama has been-really- for African Americans? I wonder what the NAACP thinks about this?
James Baldwin -in “The Fire Next Time” writes a letter to his nephew James.(Page 7 1993 edition) in an effort to provide the young African American 15 year old boy with some insight as to what he will face …AND MUST FACE…as he grows up in our society.
“This innocent country set you down in a ghetto in which, in fact, it intended that you should perish.Let me spell out precisely what I mean by that, for the heart of the matter is here, and the root of my dispute with my country.You were born where you were born and faced the future that you faced because you were black and for no other reason”.
What would the honorable James Baldwin say if he were alive today and saw what Sen Obama did to his own people in District 13 in Chicago?

“Fired Up! Ready to Go!” is from the NAACP in South Carolina, used by Jondelle Harris Johnson in the Civil Rights marches.
Policies, lets talk about polices, and speeches. Time and time again he has shown his true color on conviction and his integrity. Speeches that he so elegantly talk about , is not the endorcement of his true belief, we see that in the votes that he supported, that he so elegantly addressed he would filabuster or not endorce. Time and time agrain I addressed the issue of him being to liberal, and time and time again they compare McCain on being more like Bush, but have we really studied his voting record in the what 3 years of being in the senate? He votes alot like a Republican if u look and see how many bills are addressed and passed by Republicans, and the bills he did not vote on , the man is not a leader but a follower, he lacks the integrity that McCain and Clinton stands for, they stand by what they have a conviction and speak about. As for a puppet yes , on one of his economic speeches , knowing he and McCain know just about the same, but McCain is man enough to say it,hes weak on the economy , Obama spoke eleqantly someone elses, words, this is unlike Obama to have a fluent speech on technics of a fluent economist, in laymans terms once again probaley borrowed a speech from Clintons plan. Lets just face it he spoke about Change and beat up Clinton for her plans on the economy and
her plans for the nation, that he is now borrowing Clintons economic plans, but we all know that this is her strong point and his weekness. His weekness to be prsident is apparent when you can see throuh his speeches and determine his pander. Durin his tour in Europe , i do not see strength I see a man who has been crippled by wanting to be everyone but himself from JFK rfk mlk and Reagan, the true Obama a liberal who is one sided and does not vote with the conviction to stand on issues that will help the poor, middleclass , single mothers, homeowners , laws that will help those affected by crime, and yes his own district in Chicago, time and time again his votes did not help those that needed it , but those who can contribute to his campaign, which we all know now that they were radical terrorist muslim groups, racist views of Ayers Wright and Farahkhan, you are who you surround yourself with 20yrs of friendship, , thats family. Im a democrat vote democrat , and those who question im a republican are fools, i have a voting record, just like Obama , but i vote on integrity, character, and policies. This man lacks it all. Lets talk about overseas deployments , the e the promise of ending the Iraq war, well wake up im from a military family who husbands has done tours in Iraq, and now we know there is no end to deployment or a break of peace the war will continue along with deployments to Afghanistan, as with Bush we will continue to fight two wars just fewer men in Iraq, the war in Afghanistan will be a war of lives lost more in Iraq due to the layout of the Democratic plan opened up for the media, we are as military families preparing for longer rotations in Afghanistan . McCain has been honest to say we are at war for our freedom to live without fear from those who look to place fear in our as American movement abroad. A speech will not demand the respect that we have so long fought for. A true leader is a man or woman who will not pander and tell you that we have two fights and promising to end one is not a promise for peace and stability at home, Obama is promising something he can not deliver, to our American families , that
regardless if he is in office, our men , woman, mothers and fathers, sisters and brothers will continue to see the deployments and their rotations as we do now here at Ft Hood, where we do both already, shifting a war does not make u a winner, if your promising the same as Bush and McCain, we will follow a man who has service, integrity , character, and experience before we follow a liberal who is a pide pipper of speeches that he does not believe in, the American people first before who can better your campaign, view his record in Chicago and in the 3 years in the Senate, which a 1 1/2 running for president. Lets judge on his record and integrity to tell the truth when it comes to his acquaintances, the polls show more and more Americans do not trust him with the safety of our country , our economy is a mess but remember just because he surrounds himself with Wallstreet the President has little say, as we all know, Bush is better liked then Pelosi and congress or senate all were late to the party all failed , Pelosi should have included herself as a failure to the American people .
sorry this got away from me The American people first before party and self McCain and Clinton with their work has proven this , and Obama has not…..
I am a Democrat lets not vote for speeches, lets vote on their wisdom and experience and their work… Just say NODEAL, and Im proud of my Country
Ladies and Gentleman , i know over the months we supporters of Hillary have had to endure the malicious attacks of the paid Obama bloggers and supporters, and it is now time to step up to the plate and let them know we will not tolerate the lack of respect for woman, elderly ,workingclass, white, hispanic, catholic jewish, our military personel for doing their job , whenever they cannot rule a conversation or debate, they throw that we are racist and republicans, and they can not stand by the experience or record of Obama, why is it they see race in Hillary or McCain supporters when alot of his supporters are black and voting because he is black and not on issues, like many i looked into his record, and he is bad on paper, color did not sway my vote for Clinton and her being a woman made no difference, it was her work and what she fights for through her legislation, so stand firm when they use nasty words and hold ur ground their voice is not always right when they do not look at the issues, and Change to me means more of work and experience rather than a nice speech. Those Obama supporters use words of stupidity to demeanor our voice, so lets give them their own medicine, and lots more have to voice their opinions as citizens to the Washington Post, because in their everyone reads from senators to supporter paid blogers of the DNC, economist so pull out the record and lets talk integrity character and pride in what we are fighting for, our voice and our vote.
remember that childrens rhym, sticks and stones may break my bones but words will never harm me.. Speak loud and with a vingence.. We matter and no matter if the Dnc likes it we are gaining support and we are read more offten in the movement of doing what is right. So down down Obama pets, he will bring u some sugar when he gets back to feed you another well written speach of pander, and not his true record…. and then you will get ur fix on his sweets to continue speaking words of change that mean nothing…
Obama has an army of 300 foreign policy advisors. In a field where he claimed to need no help at all, since he is a foreign policy expert. Go figure.
This is going to hurt most when Obama has to debate McCain. McCain is a horrible speech giver but he is a knowledgeable inside with decades of experience dealing with the issues. Ever see Obama talk about something not scripted? He’s a fucking moron….and it shows. Every single time McCain talks about an important, but off topic subject, during any of the debates, he is going to humiliate Obama. This is the reason Obama has avoided any town hall meetings with McCain. He knows that, if he even attends one, he will be outed as being stupid (not just inexperienced….STUPID). His support will totally collapse and he’d lose the nomination to Clinton.
Clinton supporters. You want to get rid of Obama? You want to force a situation where Clinton runs (like she should have been chosen for)? Then create a situation where Obama is forced to go head to head with McCain, preferably in a town hall meeting. Stack the audience with people who ask the tough questions. Watch the Obama campaign completely disintegrate.
But do it soon. Enough in advance of the convention to give the superdelegates enough time to abandon ship in favor of the SS Clinton.
i thought ted sorenson wrote his speaches,JFKs speach writer, well i guess i was wrong.pupet or co consperitor.the neocons made bush there candidate , and tom daschle,howard dean, and jim kerry.are obamas co conspiritors.
mabe at first he was just a part of the gang, but i think he is now the godfather of the group.
We have always invested a disproportionate amount of faith in virtually unknown leaders. History is replete with very ordinary people who have conned and bullied their way into the confidence of the gullible majority. How many more millions of good ordinary people have to die on the altar of political ambition before we start having damage limitation through transparent democracy. The so-called ‘Committee of 300′ wants world domination; but who are they? They are listed on the Internet and they got their authority without our help, or did they? Wake up! The founding fathers gave us the constitution to break us away from the apparent tyrrany of the British crown. Joseph McCarthy tried to protect us from communism from within. Was nothing learned from history?
