Maybe he just got confused. Perhaps it is ACORN’s banking committee that he chairs…the committee that shakes down banks and mortgage companies so they will loosen their lending standards…you know, the committee that caused our financial crisis.

You are not alone. Many Americans are fed up — it doesn’t matter if they’re Republicans or Democrats.

I am a Republican and I am sick of the corruption of our politicians.

You are right, too, about Obama — No experience, No qualifications, No Character (very bad character), No loyalty to America, I could go on – and he is this close to the Presidency.

Very. Scary.

I feel like I’m in the Twilight Zone.

Guess what, if you listen to the words out of his own mouth the story is quite a bit different. Just like always, their they are, the excuse makers spinning him out of his own very plainly stated speech. You are why this country will be torn apart if he somehow gets elected. Nice work and I hope you are paid well. You’ll need it if your deceitful leader gets the job he’s cheating for.

easy

An Obama spokesman tells CNN “it was his bill, not his committee,” referring to the Iran Sanctions Enabling Act that the Illinois senator sponsored and introduced in May 2007. The measure was then referred to the Banking Committee, and passed a vote of 19-2 on July 17.

In a meeting with Benjamin Netanyahu Wednesday, Obama told the former Israeli Prime Minister, “I could fall asleep now standing up,” after Netanyahu asked him how his whirlwind trip to the Middle East and Europe is going.

Senate Banking Committee Passes Obama Provisions on Divestment in Iran Sanctions Bill
Thursday, July 17, 2008
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
CONTACT: Michael Ortiz, 202 228 5566

WASHINGTON, D.C. – U.S. Senator Barack Obama today applauded the Senate Banking, Housing and Urban Affairs Committee’s passage of the Comprehensive Iran Sanctions, Accountability and Divestment Act of 2008, which includes provisions Obama offered last year in the Iran Sanctions Enabling Act of 2007 (S. 1430). The Obama provisions clarify that state and local governments can divest from companies that invest $20 million or more in Iran’s energy sector and provide safe harbor for private fund managers who divest from such companies. The Committee approved the measure by a vote of 19 to 2.

“Preventing Iran from developing nuclear weapons is a vital national security priority. In addition to an aggressive, direct, and principled diplomatic effort, we must continue to increase economic pressure on Iran to convince its government to halt its nuclear program, support for terrorist activity, and threats toward Israel.

“This important bipartisan legislation will allow state and local governments and private fund managers to divest from companies that support Iran’s energy sector, reducing the revenue Iran uses to expand its nuclear program and sponsor terrorist groups like Hezbollah and Hamas.

“I commend Chairman Dodd for his leadership on this important issue, and I call on the Senate to quickly pass this legislation.”

Understandable, yet I know that will make some explode. How about we have a “Gaffe Meter”? Oh wait, I don’t think many here can count that high considering McCain’s daily lies and gaffes are off the charts. Oh well.

Couldn’t be that you are missing something here, could there?

Chris Dodd takes his orders from ACORN and ACORN takes its orders from Obama?

So is the Banking Committee, which is vital to ACORN, has been overseen by Obama so much that he really feels as though the committee is his, and that is what that strange slip up was revealing?

And they are the masters of lying, deceit, and dirty campaigning. Obama has learned all of that very well and is applying it in his campaign to the letter. His lies are constant now and no one is calling him out. If they do, they are shot down by the MSM. What’s the old saying: A lie repeated often enough becomes the truth in people’s minds? Now even when McCain tries to fight the lies, he looks like he is the one lying. It is truly a frightening manipulation of the American public aided and abetted by the media. We need a major issue to change this tactic. Time is of the essence now in my opinion. The OB people will keep applying this pressure until someone makes them stop.

Debbie, sweetie — you can see Russia from Alaska. Get your little map out and lookie. See how close they are darlin’.

And of course, Gov. Palin did not say she could see it from her house, that was a sketch on a TV show, pumpkin – not real life.

You do understand the difference between real life and a TV show, don’t you tootsie pop?

Now you need to get back to your work for the Democratic ladies auxiliary, and iron Barack’s shirts. Okay honeypot?

I doubt that BO has read the bill or if he has understands it. BO is a very dumb bunny…just like George, who also attended Harvard under ’special’ circumstances.

Alaska has a massive SURPLUS. I wish the rest of the country did. Washington needs to go to Gov. Palin hat in hand and ask her (no beg her) for some money. SHE knows how to run a state.

How in the world is this guy leading in the polls? I cannot believe the American voters are that uneducated about what is going on here. He is now taking credit for solving the financial crisis when he wasn’t even going to bother showing up. He was out-debated and his biggest response was to take McCain’s answers and make them his. This guy has no qualms about just taking everyone elses ideas and just boldly stating he thought them first. How do people not see this stuff! I’ve got to give his minions in his campaign some disgusting credit for just telling him to say anything that gets him to look like a hero. It is just so ridiculous that people actually are sucking this up. And the smilin MSM just helps happily to move it along. I was in Toronto this week and I’m thinking it looks mighty good in Canada these days. Looks like they are going to elect a Conservative government very soon. Plus they use their resources for themselves and as a financial boon for their country. Might give it some thought to relocate if America is taken over by these Obama thugs and communists.
