WHAT DOES ISRAEL REALLY THINK ABOUT OBUMMA?

After seeing so many beautiful false images about Obamas second coming to the world I am delighted to find it was a big JOKE!

Obama held a free POP CONCERT in Germany featuring two of their most popular bands. He served FREE bratwurst and beer. He staged a crowd for his ENGLISH SPEAKING SPEECH. While the Germans waited for their free party
I THOUGHT I WOULD PUBLICLY DISPLAY A OPEN LETTER TO YOU OBAMA FROM THE PEOPLE OF ISRAEL……

McCain is going to make a bold pick for VP, and it will not be anyone in the MSM short list.

A strong woman will help McCain seal the deal from many Hillary voters. My guess for VP is Congresswoman Heather Wilson.

And there is no way he will announce until after the Dem convention. Like a day after.

Comment by Dawnelle leóna del puma | 2008-07-25 21:48:41

whoa you must have been reading my mind

I just saw her defend McCain on tv the other day and thought she might be his pick

you and I on the same wave length! cool!

Comment by imustprotest | 2008-07-25 22:11:48

I think Carly Fiorina would be better. H. Wilson almost lost her seat in 04 and 06,,,she’s weak…she’ll be lucky if she holds her seat this year.

Comment by Johnny at Work | 2008-07-25 22:37:32

In 2004 Wilson won the election by a 10% margin over Richard Romero, the same margin of victory she had against Romero in the 2002 election.

In the 2006 elections, Heather Wilson New Mexico Attorney General Patricia A. Madrid. A poll taken from October 24-29 by Reuters/Zogby showed Madrid leading Wilson 53-44. Wilson won the election by 875 votes. (Zogby has not had an accurate poll for 16 years)

Carly could help McCain on the economy, but, she is not an elected official. The VP slot will go to someone who has been elected.

I was glad to see Bloomberg with McCain the other day. And, even though he did not endorse McCain, Bloomberg could be a surprise VP pick.

I know he was in the Jewish community in Boca, defending Ibama from Muslim overtones, but, McCain has done the same thing for Obama.

McCain does not need to remind anyone about Obamas ties to Islam, the TUCC, Jeremiah Wright, and Farrakhan. Not when the New Yorker prints wonderful cartoons, and we blog about it.

Think outside the box….Florina is an executive of HP, and a Washington outsider…young, fresh, change!!

Comment by Johnny at Work | 2008-07-25 22:08:35

I thought Ibama really was getting to the bottom of the barrel. This proves it.

A peach farming Agriculture Secretary for the # 2 slot? Poor poor Ibama….

Donkey Brazille has ovaries (or maybe at one time had them) but no one wants her either.

Comment by imustprotest | 2008-07-25 22:21:01

Johnny you’re right…a peach farmer! No way, too reminicent of the peanut famer from Georgia! lol!

Comment by Johnny at Work | 2008-07-25 22:39:14

My thought exactly!!

Good then JMc can pick Hillary if she doesn’t get the dem presidential nod. Wouldn’t that be a ball buster for OB.

Comment by imustprotest | 2008-07-25 22:35:48

That is my DREAM! I think the Obama people are gonna go after Hillary’s senate seat…I think she should go for it, really make history!

Comment by Johnny at Work | 2008-07-25 22:42:34

You are obviously not from NY. In the last election, Hillary won a majority even from Republicans. The western NY area is predominantly Republican, and although the did not vote for Hillary in her firs election, they did the second time around.

Comment by imustprotest | 2008-07-25 22:59:11

No, not from NY (although I was born there)…you may be right, it’s 4 years off…lifetime in politics! I just don’t trust the obamathugs, esp. if they win!

 
 
 

Comment by jadwiga | 2008-07-25 23:58:12

If Obama picks a republican for VP, half of his supporters would leave him and McCain may feel free to pick Hillary. The two of them would take all 50 states - leaving Obama with the remaining 7 or 8 (plus the two he didn’t campaign in.)
After McCain Hillary would stay in the White House.
All my dreams would come true. (I have limited dreams nowdays. Originally I was dreaming about Hillary as president.)

More Obama B.S.? Was The Crowd in Berlin 200,000 or Just 20,000?

Fifteen minutes before Obama took the stage, German reporters estimated 20,000. Twenty minutes later, someone else, from the same news outlet, said 100,000. The figure of 200,000 came from Obama’s people, and the American press went with that.

Compare photos of the Berlin rally with the photos of a rally in Portland, Oregon that drew 75,000. They look pretty close to me.

Comment by Johnny at Work | 2008-07-25 21:54:44

I’ve been saing the same thing. They may have prepared for 200,000, but that crowd did not go more than 75 yards past the stage. I’d guess about 20,000 tops too.

Do you guys think what John McCain said about Barack Obama is a little unfair?

Comment by Johnny at Work | 2008-07-25 22:51:19

Not one bit.

It was Ibamas first chance to actually make a decision in the Iraq War, and he made a politically calculated decision, which turned out to be very wrong.

McCain made a very politically risky decision, and was right. McCain put country above political ambition, something Ibama could NEVER do.

Bush was stubborn about sending additional troops to Iraq. McCain and commanders on the ground had been pushing for additional troops as early as the planning stages before the invasion. Some of tose commanders and generals were given early retirement.

McCain questioned the tactics pushed by Rumsfeld and pushed for Rumsfelds resignation.

McCain fought his own President, party, and risked his political future for what he believed in. he never equivicated, and never straddled both sides of the issue.

McCain was absolutely right, and demonstrated outstanding leadership. God Bless him for it.

Great Show DCMediagirl and Dawnelle, I thought your question was excellent! Good job girl!

Comment by Dawnelle leóna del puma | 2008-07-25 22:18:24

well to be honest I had embarrassingly forgotten about Bhutto! I should know Women must be treated relatively well although her demise says a LOT all by itself.

sigh :-/

Yes but your question about Saudi Arabia was really good. I don’t think he answered you fully though.

Comment by dcmediagirl | 2008-07-25 23:37:07

You’re right. Saudi Arabia is a very important and broad topic of conversation and warrants a whole show on its own. More on the Saudis next time, promise. And remember that the Saudi influence in Pakistan is significant and very troubling.

Comment by imustprotest | 2008-07-26 00:14:11

Absolutely correct! Saudias are the financial sponsors of the Madressas throughout the middle east including: Pakistan, Libya, Egypt, Jordan, Yemen, Sudan and Afghanistan.

McCain actually has many of the GHWB realists on his foreign policy team.

Eagleburger, Scowcroft, etc.

Pretty much a mainstream perspective there.

Comment by Dawnelle leóna del puma | 2008-07-25 22:21:08

AN Eagleburger

better than eating CROW

teeheeha!

Comment by imustprotest | 2008-07-25 22:40:10

Eagleburger ….that’s good….buh bye neocons you scumbags!

Comment by Gary McGowan | 2008-07-25 23:51:41

copy from larger article, my emph…

In Berlin, supporters of one of these organizations, PUMA (Party Unity My Ass), were distributing leaflets calling for such an open party convention. Obama’s security team confiscated the leaflets, not only from the PUMA organizers themselves, but also from any spectator who passed through the security gate, leaflet in hand. So much for Obama’s oft-cited “change.”

In his Berlin speech, Obama’s election strategists were counting on the so-called “let go of the dog’s tail” effect. The dog is, of course, happy when someone who has been dragging it around by the tail, inflicting great pain, finally lets go. It doesn’t take much to understand that the people of the entire world will be glad when Bush and Cheney finally disappear from the White House premises. But as we have already pointed out, the new Obama package has the same old stuff inside.

Up to now, nowhere—not in the United States, Berlin, or anywhere else—has Obama said anything about the dramatically climaxing meltdown of the financial system, nor anything about the insolvency of the giant mortgage finance companies Freddie Mac and Fanny Mae, whose death-throes are only being drawn out by the Fed’s unlimited injections of liquidity. Obama, whose lack of knowledge about the complex strategic situation cannot be remedied by some week-long crash course, is not expected to offer any answer to the systemic crisis as it unfolds over the coming weeks. And if Obama’s campaign strategists refuse to permit an open party convention, then it certainly will not be because they are so sure that Obama will win the Presidency. And even if he does get nominated, this will have absolutely no effect on the escalating systemic crisis.
