Jackson - Obama Foreign Policy includes Apologies and less “Jewish clout”

The Rev. must be out of the doghouse for his “nutty” remarks about Obama’s, er uh, nuts. The NYPost published an interview today between Amir Taheri and Jesse Jackson. Jackson is in France, at a “World Policy Forum,” where he spoke about the foreign policies he feels an Obama administration would pursue.
According to Taheri, Jackson said Obama:
. . . promised “fundamental changes” in US foreign policy - saying America must “heal wounds” it has caused to other nations, revive its alliances and apologize for the “arrogance of the Bush administration.”
The most important change would occur in the Middle East, where “decades of putting Israel’s interests first” would end.
Jackson believes that, although “Zionists who have controlled American policy for decades” remain strong, they’ll lose a great deal of their clout when Barack Obama enters the White House.
Read the rest ->
Wow. I guess, for Jackson, “hymietown” is back. Didn’t Obama already get into trouble earlier this election season over remarks about Jerusalem? How about anti-Jewish material on his website? Regardless, such sweeping statements about Isreal, even using “Zionist” is telling about Jackson’s view of Jews. I bet he thinks all Jews are bankers who caused the mortgage meltdown (woooooo - I am being snarky, but would it really surprise anyone if this were the case?) And, just for the record, who is going to do all this “apologizing” Jackson talks about?
Buuuuuutt, you say, how can Jesse speak for Obama? Well, that’s also very interesting, and Jackson, of course, has a non-answer.
Jackson warns that he isn’t an Obama confidant or adviser, “just a supporter.” But he adds that Obama has been “a neighbor or, better still, a member of the family.” Jackson’s son has been a close friend of Obama for years, and Jackson’s daughter went to school with Obama’s wife Michelle.
“We helped him start his career,” says Jackson. “And then we were always there to help him move ahead. He is the continuation of our struggle for justice not only for the black people but also for all those who have been wronged.”
Look at that second paragraph again. Jackson sounds as if he not only feels Obama owes him but he also appropriates Obama himself into Jackson’s civil rights work. Looks like Jackson thinks he’s Obama’s daddy. Seriously, Jackson is trying to take credit for Obama’s political existence. Fair? I have no idea, but that statement reveals a real lack of finesse. Or maybe finesse isn’t the point.
Don’t forget, Jackson, the de facto “Black American leader,” also has Chicago roots; and his son JJ Jr, is an Obama campaign manager. While Jackson may be a loose cannon, I just can’t see him deliberately placing his son in a precarious position.
And for those of you who might think electing Obama will go a long way to healing the racial wounds of America, think again.
Will Obama’s election close the chapter of black grievances linked to memories of slavery? The reverend takes a deep breath and waits a long time before responding.
“No, that chapter won’t be closed,” he says. “However, Obama’s victory will be a huge step in the direction we have wanted America to take for decades.”
An Obama election will be a “huge step” but not enough. Never enough. Shelby Steele, a notable AA writer and thinker on “Black America” would say that Jackson is signaling that “white America” will never be off the hook. I read it the same way. That’s, well, astounding because Obama’s campaign has touted his ability to be “trans-racial” and “bring people together,” not letting the past rule the present kind of thing. And here is Jackson, promising otherwise. Hmmmmmm.
Jackson was asked about Obama’s potential policies on a variety of issues, and he carefully started with the “I’m only a supporter, not a policy maker” hedge. But his remarks sound more precise than vague wishes on Jackson’s part.
What does Jackson want an Obama economic program to include?
On the economic front, he hopes for “major changes in our trading policy.”
“We cannot continue with the open-door policy,” he says. “We need to protect our manufacturing industry against unfair competition that destroys American jobs and creates ill-paid jobs abroad.”
“Open door?” Is that relating to trade or immigration as it affects trade, or both?
And how is Jackson channeling Obama with regard to the Iraq war?
Taheri says:
His most surprising position concerns Iraq. He passionately denounces the toppling of Saddam Hussein as “an illegal and unjust act.” But he’s now sure that the United States “will have to remain in Iraq for a very long time.”
What of Obama’s promise to withdraw by 2010? Jackson believes that position will have to evolve, reflecting “realities on the ground.”
“We should work with our allies in Iraq to consolidate democratic institutions there,” he says. “We must help the people of Iraq decide and shape their future in accordance with their own culture and faith.”
And on Iran - what does his non-connection with Obama tell him about that?
On Iran, he strongly supports Obama’s idea of opening a direct dialogue with the leadership in Tehran. “We’ve got to talk to tell them what we want and hear what they want,” Jackson says. “Nothing is gained by not talking to others.”
Would that mean ignoring the four UN Security Council resolutions that demand an end to Iran’s uranium-enrichment program? Jackson says direct talks wouldn’t start without preparations.
“Barack wants an aggressive and dynamic diplomacy,” he says. “He also wants adequate preparatory work. We must enter the talks after the ground has been prepared,” he says.
Interestingly enough, Jackson doesn’t say WHO prepares the ground. Iran, for its part, thinks the US should abide by some preconditions. Newsbusters notes:
Vice President for Media Affairs Mehdi Kalhor said on Saturday that Iran has set two preconditions for holding talks with the United States of America.
In an exclusive interview with the Islamic Republic News Agency, he said as long as U.S. forces have not left the Middle East region and continues its support for the Zionist regime, talks between Iran and U.S. is off the agenda.
——————————-
On Saturday, Kalhor said Tehran would accept ‘repentance’ on behalf of the US government toward the Iranian people.“Negotiations would be rational if the US moves out of the Middle East and the US government gives up its widespread support for the Zionist regime,” he said.
Apologies? Zionists? Well, remember what Jackson said:
. . . promised “fundamental changes” in US foreign policy - saying America must “heal wounds” it has caused to other nations, revive its alliances and apologize for the “arrogance of the Bush administration.”
The most important change would occur in the Middle East, where “decades of putting Israel’s interests first” would end.
Jackson believes that, although “Zionists who have controlled American policy for decades” remain strong, they’ll lose a great deal of their clout when Barack Obama enters the White House
Is this a response to Obama’s statement about meeting Iran without preconditions? And Obama’s vision for Israel, via Jackson?
“Bush was so afraid of a snafu and of upsetting Israel that he gave the whole thing a miss,” Jackson says. “Barack will change that,” because, as long as the Palestinians haven’t seen justice, the Middle East will “remain a source of danger to us all.”
“Barack is determined to repair our relations with the world of Islam and Muslims,” Jackson says. “Thanks to his background and ecumenical approach, he knows how Muslims feel while remaining committed to his own faith.”
Thanks to his BACKGROUND? Obama swears he’s not a muslim, so this must mean his years in Indonesia, right? Ecumenical approach? BLT is ecumenical? Since when? BLT at least excoriates whites, Jews and many other AAs. How ecumenical is that? Or is ecumenical a euphemism for humping the pulpit? (Want to see Rev Wright “riding dirty” again?)
Now, all this is verrrrrrry interesting. Is Jackson acting as a surrogate? His son, an Obama campaign manager, famously said the campaign had to figure out how to attack a white woman (Hillary) in a “post OJ world.” Jackson supposedly went off the reservation sometime later with his “cutting” remarks, accidentally or not, caught on camera and has remained relatively quiet since then. So why is he talking now?
If Jackson IS a surrogate of the easily denied variety, his remarks are worthy of comment although the campaign will surely disavow. The tone of his remarks as well as the substance are likely to offend many Americans. But since campaigns constantly toss out “trial balloons” via the easily denied surrogate, Jackson’s remarks will definitely present just such an opportunity, regardless.
But what if Jackson is lobbing spitballs? If his earlier remark about Obama’s dangles more accurately reflects the reality of the relationship, is this interview his “scissors?” Is Jackson trying to assert authority? Or is he trying to steer Obama’s choices by making public what he feels Obama cannot get away with and enable him to thus get “half a loaf?” And why THIS reporter and THIS paper?
The author, Amir Taheri, is the columnist who broke the story about Obama telling Iraqi leaders to “wait for the next administration.” Presumably, Taheri is no particular friend of the Obama campaign. Odd that Jackson would have consented to an interview with this particular journalist - even more so when you remember Jackson never met a microphone or podium he didn’t want to preen for. He could have talked to anyone. He talked to Taheri.
“Obama is about change,” Jackson told me in a wide-ranging conversation. “And the change that Obama promises is not limited to what we do in America itself. It is a change of the way America looks at the world and its place in it.”
Is the NYPost the only paper covering the World Policy Forum? You know how Marshall McLuhan famously said “the medium IS the message?” In this case, I think it is as important to ask why Jackson chose this venue as it is to parse his words.
Of course, maybe the Post is the only paper covering this hugely important gathering on the French seaside.
Still, Jackson’s remarks are incendiary in terms of foreign policy and current US relationships. I doubt they’ll play well here at home - so why make them? Is it all a smoke screen? Or is it dead on? Either way, I don’t like the feelings these remarks give me.
There’s much not to like. Jackson’s vague status with Obama makes it difficult to infer from these remarks Obama’s positions. That’s on purpose. The remarks themselves signal some potentially huge shifts in US policy. I’m also not at all comfortable with the idea that such a shift could actually be signaled by Jackson before the US electorate votes.
And I don’t like the tone. The notable thing about his tone is Jackson is both accusatory and promising apologies. Jackson accuses his own country of gross misconduct and promises some form of repentance. Think Jackson will be the one Obama sends over to apologize? It would serve him right, but Jackson has always felt more sinned against than sinning and his remarks reflect that. Jackson may feel his country needs to apologize, but he probably feels he should be on the receiving end of that apology. Forever.

What’s Jackson’s purpose?
It seems that Jesse has never been fond of Jewish people, in Israel and New York
getting the infidels and the jewish people ready for their takeover,,after all we owe them! look the dems are trying to pass a bill to give them trillons in slave reparations, and 845 billon to africa, biden wants us to send millons to pakistan,,who harbors bin laden..while we cant afford food or a place to live or drs..we are supposed to work our butts off to give it to his pals..i also read that michelle lived with the jacksons for some time…
Oh no he didn’t! Check out this guy… And McCain gets blamed for all the hate.
“”I figured it would be equally offensive to everyone. It’s just for shock value,” Havens said. “McCain has been rabble-rousing, calling Obama a terrorist and a Muslim. The McCain campaign has gotten so ugly. That’s what the message is. I can see how people could take this the wrong way. I’m not advocating anything. It’s sarcasm.”

Good article.
When I first read NY Post article I asked myself is Jessie Jackson trying to sabatoge Sen Obama’s campaign? I cant believe he said all these things.
Then I read a post by another NQ blogger and everything made sense -at least for me.
Although this is speculation- I agree with the NQ blogger who said that Jessie Jackson’s remarks to the NYPost could be a set up for Sen Obama’s upcoming 1/2 hour ads so that Sen Obama can get out in front of public and renounce Jackson’s comments and spend the 1/2 hour talking about how wrong jackson was to think this way and how we should all be united and that how he- Sen Obama-supports Israel yadayadayada.
In the meanwhile Sen obama will have drawn attention away from the really important issues that the journalists will have forgotten about by then because they will all be in a tizzy about Jackson’s remarks and attention will once again be diverted away from
Ayers/Annenburg
Kurtz/Annenburg
Corsi/Kenya
Berg/Citizenship
Rezko/theft of govt housing funds,
RIKO violations,
Iraq troop withdrawal,
ACORN
Socialist Party ties,
Larry Sinclair,
atc…
I read this article this morning. Jesse Jackson just doesn’t know when to STFU.
This is even worse than his “hot mic” comments this summer. It feeds right into Barry’s radical associations specifically “Uncle” Wright spewing his anti-Semitic vitriol.
Go Jesse! Keep talking, keep on talking.
Yep. Make sure all the jews hear this crap!
Holy shit Jesse did not just go there. Jewish cabal? Zionist agenda? I knew it all along but I expected them to be a little smarter about hiding it.
yep; and they say obama’s not a muslim. if it walks like a duck….
i think we are all sick of Obama’s policy and agenda, ALREADY.
His thug tactics, now CNN is reporting the widespread fraud by ACORN.
Indiana seems to be even winning on ACORNS fraudulent activities from Ohio. Indianapolis knows why they have received registration from more than people live in the entire city, 105percent of Indianpolis’ population. When one person admitted registering 73 times. But now, in norther Indiana, the city stopped counting when the first 2100 were shown to be fake.
From the same signature on 3 different registrations, to a restaurant registered to vote and then finally in their example, a person who was dead for 7 months.

The Obama campaign must be just pissed. This can’t be good for them…
But, then you have to wonder…is this another attempt by an angry black leader to derail obama? I can’t tell if Jackson and Wright LOVE or HATE Obama…
Both.

I thought of this video when I read the Jackson piece this morning….thanks for the link.
Is there anything less appealing than a Berkeley style leftist pontificating on foreign policy? Powers should do the world a favor and voluntarily retire from public life.
OHMYGODNO and then do what? Teach our children? FORGEDABOUDIT!
reprint of what I posted on another thread
Mr Jackson is a seasoned politician. He has been around the block one or two times. The only purpose for this type of speech is to scare the crap out of Jewish people. Jewish people who tend to vote Dem. Ya think they will after this remark? Ahhh, NO! lol! This was a stab in O’blahblahs backside, make no doubt.
Jacksons remarks a few months back were how he really felt about Obama, “who the hell does this guy think he is”. AA’s recognize a con artist when they see one.
Why would Jackson do this? Because if O’blahblah wins, “out with the old & in with the new”. I’ve felt for years and years, that the leadership in of AA’s was holding them down, keeping them from achieving the American Dream…by making them dependent on the system, government and Dems. This included Jackson, Sharpton and the like.
The difference between those leaders and Obama, is they want to keep AA’s enslaved and Oblahblah wants all americans enslaved to the government.
Excellent analysis!
McCain/Palin 2008
Now more than ever!
Please save America!
I think different. I think Jackson is vying for a slot in the radical lineup. So far he has been marginalized.
2. He is also throwing candy to AAs that need a little vindication on the way Jews have treated them. Jackson is solidifying the black vote. He knows that during these last week McCain has the potential to lure possibly 10 or 15 percent of blacks that realize that Obama will not be so good for them. Obama’s policies are going to attract a very large wave of illegal aliens to the country. A very large wave. A huge wave. An blacks may go McCain if anyone ever could explain that to them.
Lark, he may be “vying for a slot,” but I think this leaves The Precious little choice but to throw Reverend Jackson under the bus with Pastor Wright & Father Pfleger. Sure are getting to be a lot of clergy under there.
And under the bus he goes:

I agree with you completely. The Black Community is supposedly passing the baton, but it’s going to be the same old samd old! And the old guard (JJ) aren’t going down without a fight! Talk about Unity?
Anyone? :::hears crickets:::
Jackson is solidifying the black/Islamic vote that could get swayed by Obama’s largess with tax cuts and government programs.
Yes, too much is too much and AAs can also tell when he’s giving the house away to actually ‘white voters.’
He is also solidifying the liberal women vote by saying that the U.S. needs to ‘apologize’ to foreign nations. That’s exactly what left liberal woman want out of the next president.
There is only one problem with that. Obama has not issue one SINGLE apology yet and I don’t think he will issue one any time soon.
There is only one problem with that. Obama has not issue one SINGLE apology yet and I don’t think he will issue one any time soon.
Disagree slightly. He does not apologize to American voters that he or his surrogates slander and vilify or divide, but he did take a world tour and act as though America should be ashamed of itself.
Seems he is more than willing to apologize for America.
this is pretty mind blowing stuff regarding Baracktrack’s stance on Israel…
this should really hurt is chances in the election…
how many times will he lie to jewish voters… actually, i know everyone will say its a jewish voter issue but it really is an issue that all americans should be worried about…

I wonder how Sarah Silverman feels about her big *schlep to Florida for Obama* campaign.
This should flip those jewish grannies right back to McCain.
OK since this is a thread about the “tribe” I will fess up.
I got a “Jewish-Americans for McCain” t-shirt, and I intend to wear it in neighborhoods of high Jewish concentration, because I can pass.
(When I was younger I lived in an apt. building with mostly Jewish population and they were always stunned to learn that I was goyim.)

This whole Obama thing is getting very scary.
All the violence by his supporters,
the attacks on free speech,
the threatened arrest for running campaign ads,
the hatred of women and the palin is a cunt t’s,
the vote cheating that he began his career with and is still practicing, his friends,
and the strangeness of most media outlets getting their news from his campaign.
HELP
Yeah…I’ve been sayin for months that it’s gettin scary tribal…and not just in USA…But it really sux when it happens here…This is EVIL…
You have to look at the speach that Bill Cosby gave a couple of years ago to understand what is going on in the Black comunity.
Cosby is my hero. He tells it like it is. Completely austrocized for it though.
Wish Cosby had of run, he would have gotten my vote.
I am getting more and more and more aggravated and annoyed at a certain segment, roughly 12%, of the population. Furthermore, as a Jew, one of the groups that truly went out of their way to stick up for the Civil Rights Movement, Freedom Riders in the 60’s etc…..it’s getting REALLY irksome.
Where does a particular group, who has become particularly comfortable with an outmoded and outdated babyfood diet of affirmative action, subsidies, mollycoddling and the politically correct liberally condoned stasis of slave mentality suddenly find the heretofore unknown energy to care about the Middle East, the English Language and the syntax and etymology of certain words ( just axin….) and a whole host of other issues?
Jesse Jackson is a big blowhard hasbeen, but his speech is incendiary.
I’m just so sick of all this and how Obama, Jackson, John Lewis et all can mouth off bulls**t that if a person with a lower melanin content said the inverse, the MSM would bellow, “Racism”
I see the writing on the wall, if Uberfraud gets in, hold onto your wallets folks because not only will there be “wealth redistribution” but they’ll be taking reparations out of paychecks along with FICA.
I am so pissed off I could spit!
Some commentary
Bell,
Get realistic and don’t be upset:
“If you pick up a starving dog & make him prosperous, he will not bite you. This is the principal difference between a man and a dog.”
Mark Twain
I wore my Palin Power T-shirt to a liberal food co-op yesterday. I will NOT be shamed into “race card guilt” because I don’t want the government to give unnecessary handouts to people who in turn have just sat on their thumbs.
Good for you!
thank you sayitisntso for the wisdom of Mark Twain!
ditto, Bell…and for all those reasons, he cannot be allowed to win anything but a ticket back to Chicago.
Please don’t stereotype. Jackson does not speak for all blacks, just as Obama does not speak for all Democrats.
There are some independent-minded AAs who comment on NQ and I really don’t want them swept up into negative stereotypes because of Jackson’s comments.
Thanks!
Guys,
This will be long, but i promise it is worth the trouble of reading it all. A friend emailed it to me, and I intend to pass it on, in fact I may make a couple hundred copies and stick them on windshields in Church parking lots every weekend until the election. I am going to Ohio to campaign this weekend, so I’ll start there. I want to do Pennsylvania the following weekend, and my state, Virginia weekend before the election. All battlegrounds, all important. I urge you to read this and copy it and pass it on.

Please check this out. Could get a lot of votes for McCain
surprise, surprise; JJ, Obama, and friends want america to start looking like a muslim country, complete with the insane obsession to destroy israel an an unwillingness to ever take personal responsibility for anything, because after all, anything bad that happens is all whitey’s and hymie’s fault. no f-ing way. look how good that ideology has worked for muslim countries. if the Obamahadeens think islam is so great, let them do us a favor and move to saudi arabia.
The Arabs in truth despise blacks. It is amazing to me that there or 8 million Muslims in the USA and 4 million are none Arab with the majority being blacks.
Have none of them researched the roots of slavery? Do none know that Mohamed had slaves and that the Koran says it is ok? Does Obama 3 Arabic names not give them pause? Or do they not know that Arabs were the first slavers? They came to Africa and settled in the area that due to the intermixing of Arabs and Africans that resulting culture became known as Swahili. The name Obama is Arab/Swahili.
correct; hell, saudia arabia? (or some other arab country/ies) just gave up slavery in the 1960’s!!! i think it is actually still practiced over there, even though it is illegal. and AA’s think arabs/muslims are their soul-brothers/sisters???!! jeezus christ.
Rev. Jackson’s attitude towards Jews is well known, having once called NY City Hymietown.
Any Jewish voter or supporter of Israel that casts a vote for Obama is …. well, there are no words.
Whether you take Jackson’s words at face value or not, there are many indications as to Obama’s lack of genuine support for Isreal.
From his flip flop after speaking to them to his anti semitic web page to Samantha Powers and his PLO terrorist buddy.. does an anvil need to fall from the sky?
JUDAS GOAT
During the Holocaust, the Jews that convinced the others to “go along with the program”, were allowed to ride in a Passenger car to the “Camps”.
Once there, these “Judas Goats” were told to get into line for the “showers” with the rest.
If the Jews in America don’t understand what Louis Farrahkan, Jesse and Barack Hussein Obama have in store for Isreal and the Jews of the World, then History will repeat it self.
Harry Reid’s Father in-law is a Camp Survivor.
Harry will wear that little Judas Goat Bell right into the “Shower” holding his grandson’s hand.
Now you know the agenda behind racializing “The One’s middle name.
Sad! So Sad!.
Fox News just reported Jesse Jackson’s comments, and then they did a story on Rashid Khalidi.
Jews need to do more research on Obama and find out the organizations (like Arab American Action Network) he supported, and they need to do more research on who his advisors were and are, and they need to look at who the big contributors are. They need to look at who endorses Obama, and they really need to get a clue about black liberation theology, and how they interpret jews in the bible to mean blacks, and how jews are demonized.
There are TONS of red flags for jewish voters.
Honestly, I think any jew voting for Obama is getting painfully duped.
this is the kind of stuff Mccain needs to bring up in the debate and in speeches etc…
Obama is dangerous and lying to americans…

Jackie Mason’s response to Sarah Silverman’s Great Schlep video.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qbq7uTyWTCw
Folks, this is a show between Obama and Jackson Just like the show between Wright and Obama, to make “white” people feel like he is not aligned with black activists. I am not falling for it.
I’m starting to come around to your point of view, especially since apparently Obama has just thrown JJ under the bus.
This is different because Jackson was not preaching from the pulpit . . . he was also espousing Obama’s general intent and philosophy towards Israel (which doesn’t seem far-fetched considering Obama’s friends and close associates). As an earlier posted said . . .”Do you need an anvil to fall from the sky to realize that Obama is BAD NEWS in so many ways?
No, I think Jackson’s “nuts/ talking down to black people” comments were to calm white people.
Jackson’s anti-jew comments today are to reassure and remind those who feel the same to calm down.
OR: Jackson just has a big mouth. lol.
I don’t think the O camp is terribly worried about the jewish vote. So many jews are so liberal, they will vote for him no matter what. Like I already said: they are getting painfully duped.
every democrat is getting panifully duped not just jewsish folk.
Not every Dem; I’m guessing not even most. With Oblahblah, its like a barrel full of fish, just itching to jump out and get caught. The question is which one to fry first?
Not every dem, and not every jew. Many jews are liberal, therefore democrat, but I think jews and Israel will specifically get targeted for “change” under Obama, like a laser beam.
You’ve got it! This is all one shadows-on-the-wall melodrama for the unwashed herd to watch, mesmerized. Plato was right.
I hear from time to time that there is much about Obama in the Israeli press and websites. Anybody got any good links?

Jesse Jackson is a man with no power in the world of Obama he wants to be important but all he dose is come off as ridiculous wind bag. Jesse must have had the Obama camp scrambling, but Jesse just gave McCain a gift for the debate tomorrow ask Obama about his commit to Israeli and repeat what Jesse said for the world to see and hear.
Have you noticed the repeated word “evolve” in Obama’s messaging. The current financial crisis may mean his promised programs will need to “evolve” over time. His position on Iraq will “evolve” with existing realities.
Buzz word for flip flop. His opinions on gun control, FISA, and oil drilling, also evolved. And lots more.
The man is proving his earlier point: Just Words.
What should concern you is that the media picks up on this, but when it deals with any other politican they call it lies flip flops. This should tell you how much the media is bias and needs to be destoryed at all cost.
Sad to say, Touchet, I have no faith in the MSM. I thought we had a “free press.” I thought the far right accusations about left-wing leanings in the media was absolute crap.
I thought . . . and then realized how wrong I was. The media is the propaganda echo chamber. Maybe it’s been that way all along. But this election, the primaries and now the GE has made the scales fall from my eyes.

I’m Jewish and that’s about what I’ve been telling my mom for a while now. What is it going to take for people to get a clue before they make the biggest mistake of their lives?
A journalist from London posted a brief article dedicated to Jews concerning Obama on her blog: “Wake Up and Smell the Soup!” http://www.melaniephillips.com/articles-new/?p=588
Maybe send that to her, or print it out.
I practice the Jews for Yeshua faith- and I love Jewish people- if they are stupid enough to vote for Obama- then they deserve the destruction of Israel. The republicans (something that normally is hard for me to admit being an ex-democrat and now an independent) will always protect Israel. Period. Their Judeo-Christian faith demands the protection of Yeshua’s land. So, if the jews, especially, in my state Florida are stupid enough to fall for the snake salesman Obama- what I can say- they are shumaks….
this is kinda funny…
Iran - who’s president is a holocaust denier and recently said he wanted to wipe israel off the face of the earth…

Mccain really needs to bring this up in the debate…
a. hillary
b. mccain
america first!
lmao!!!
I found this as a “comment” and wanted to see if anyone knows if this is for real.
Obama’s father was from KENYA, not Nigeria please get YOUR FACTS straight!!!
Obama’s stepfather was from Indonesia and Obama attended Muslim schools, hence he was a MUSLIM!!! They DO NOT allow Christians to attend Muslim school in Indonesia. And let’s not forget the Indonesian Passport he used to travel to US to attend college on an “F1″ status. (Foreign Student)
Obama = NOT a US Citizen BECAUSE:
1. Father= NOT a US Citizen.
2. Mother=US Citizen, but did NOT meet residency requirements to pass USC status to Barack.
3. Barack=NOT born in US, did NOT meet residency requirements to gain USC status.
McCain = US Citizen BECAUSE:
1. Father = US Citizen.
2. Mother = US Citizen.
3. John = BORN on US soil in the Panama Canal Zone while Father was in US Armed Forces.
Check the US Immigration and Nationality Act (Title 8, US Code)
I was a US Immigration Inspector for 2 years and I KNOW my FACTS!!!
I was wondering the same thing. Even if he were a natural born US citizen but renounced it for Indonesian Citizenship (Indonesia didn’t/doesn’t allow dual citizenship ?), is that in any way disqualifying to POTUS ?
And how did Obama get a US passport if not a legal citizen ? Did he not have one at 20 and that is why he travelled to Pakistan on Indonesian documents ?
Also, about the article people…this is referencing
JJ JR…not his father !
If this true, you should contact Philip Berg.

If this is true…
Not off topic of this comment
Washington citizen suing the Washington Secr. Of State for verifification of Obama’s citizenship. Pass this around to all blogs.
http://logisticsmonster.com/2008/10/14/2-lawsuit-demanding-verification-of-obamas-citizenship-status/
My husband and I have degrees in international policies. We are 100% sure that Barry/Barack had/has Indonesian citizenship. We have been to Indonesia countless times and have friends there. There is NO way his step dad could have listed his citizenship as Indonesian without showing the proper documents to the school. And we’re talking 1966-67 where the country was even more strict than it is now. No way, no how would the school would have taken Lolo’s word that the kid was Indonesian without seeing his registration ID card. If I were Berg, I would keep going down this route.
interesting.
Article II, Section 1. [5] of the US Constitution requires that the US President be a “natural born citizen.”
Section 301 of the Immigration and Nationality Act (INA) defines “citizen of the United States at birth.”
If Obama was born in Hawaii as he claimed, the best, easiest, and most reasonable, effective and responsible way to respond to the Berg case is to submit to the Court a copy of his birth document certified by the State of Hawaii as a true copy of the original. If he does that, by applying the Full Faith and Credit doctrine promulgated in Article IV, Section 1 of the US Constitution, the Court must take a judicial notice that Obama was born in Hawaii, and dismiss the Berg case. So far, at least 2 motions have been filed by Obama but he did not file his birth certification or other evidence proving that he is a natural born citizen.
US Constitution is THE most important document on our land. We have at least one million of lawyers in this country, each of whom has taken the oath to protect our Constitution. I do not understand why the Berg case is completely neglected by the legal community and mass media.
Barky’s “ecumenical” approach??? wtf?
Is there anything even remotely ecumenical about Barky’s church, or their teachings? It seems like the opposite of ecumenical.
ot, but there’s a cute youtube on countusout called “Why I’m Voting Democrat” (satire). Its short & worth watching. Made me smile & I’ve had a really tough day! Check it out:
http://countusout.wordpress.com/
Very funny. Thanks for linking to it:-)
All well done.
The only flaw in our ointment is that, for Jackson’s words to do anything or sway anyone, people have to actually HEAR them.
Who’s covering it? Who’s covering anything about the Teflon Bama?
Nobody (or, should I say, nobody, a/k/a the Three Blind Mice of broadcasting (ABC, CBS, NBC) and their growing band of sycophant Bobblehead Pundits).
How they can keep the lid on a pot boiling like the Barack Obama Elect-Me Stew is (I call it a stew, could be a gumbo, since he throws everything he can think of into the pot at the same time), with steam screaming out of each straining joint and Axelrod patch job, I do not know.
The lid needs to blow off soon and I expect it might start tomorrow night.
McCain might just prick the Obama balloon. There’s so much hot air in it, it might take out a newscaster or two, considering how far they have their noses stuck up the “no light canal” of The Messiah.
Keep digging, NQ.
Stand up!!! Let’s Rock this election!!!
nypost.com and foxnews.com have the story…
israelinsider.com as well…
it is spreading…
also this is a whopper:
http://israelinsider.ning.com/profiles/blog/show?id=2018399%3ABlogPost%3A10051
but yeah, we need to get the word out quicker… i really hope Mccain brings this up in the debate….
can anyone email the mccain campaign?

Yet Shephard Smith right now on FOX: “Obama has biggest lead in the polls blah blah blah.”
The media is completely batshit crazy!
You can contact the McCain camp here:

Lou Dobbs covered it this evening in his broadcast.
I am a Muslim American supporter of Hillary and now McCain/Palin. Please try not attack the religion of Islam, only the radical elements
thanks for letting us know. Most of us know very little except the radical part.
You make a good point. Thanks for reminding us.
Point well taken! I only wish we would hear and see more moderate expressions of Islam, day-in, day-out.
Sadly, the radical element is controlling the message. And that’s bad for all of us.
I think muslims who are not part of the radical part need to take responsibility for the fact that most of us think it’s ALL radical. We hardly ever hear about muslims here or anywhere expressing anything but hate for our country. When it feels like “they” are all against us, it is only natural to start thinking in terms of we and they.
Sorry if I offended you in any way. If Obama is Arab or Muslim he needs to say so. It is deceitful to hide it. After 9/11 ALL Americans have the right to know. He associates with radical elements of Islam and that is upsetting to many of us.
I will defend anyones right to their religion, America was based on freedom of religion. Just be honest with it.
Thank you DarkKnight
You make a good point.
OT: Brit Hume on Fox news reported the Obama Fight the Smears website changed Obama’s relationship from Never have worked for ACORN to Never have contracted to work with ACORN. OMG, does this mean that everything else on the Obama Fight the Smears website is suspect?
They have the Barack Acorn Obama campaign spinning right now. The acorn don’t far fall from the tree!
I have seen the changes myself and have copies in my files too.
WHO THE HELL DO ALL OF THESE PEOPLE THINK THEY ARE?? GOING AROUND TALKING TO FOREIGN ALLIES LIKE THEY HAVE SOME KIND OF AUTHORITY??
Lou Dobbs will have coverage on Acorn and Obamas attempts to distance his ties to them as well as the history connecting them.
7 PM CNN.Lou the only one left on CNN that still finds honor in balanced and fair reporting.
Tune in,it should be highly intersting according to the previews.
It’s pretty clear that Jesse doesn’t want Obama to win. His reason for being will be lost if Obama wins. This would be like Bin Laden coming out the day before the election and saying vote for my Muslim brother. That would be equally transparent.
It’s all a side-show at the carnival and a distraction from the main event.
Can somebody tell my WHY this text
“Barack Obama, 773-684-4809, whose work to empower blacks has included his law practice, community organizing, philanthropy and most recently electoral politics: he is a candidate for state senate”
would appear under THIS headline??
“ORGANIZING AND ISLAM”

Good catch, Cooper! Was BO trying to ride on the coat tails of the Muslim community? And did you notice the mention of Rev. Wright on that page?

If you look in the sexction called “Working for a Living” you will see mention of Obama’s good friend Valerrie Jarrett. She was one of the people, with Tony Rezko, Allison Davis etc. that were getting that Slumlord Money from the City. Isn’t she working for Obama now, I saw her on TV as a Obama spokesperson

OMG THAT MAY BE THE “SMOKING GUN”!
Good work Cooper
I’ve saved the web page and am going to put something up quickly…with a hat tip to Cooper…
So much for going to bed early tonight…
Let’s “Give Obama a Chance” from Savage Politics:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LoFQMG0NR8w&eurl=http://savagepolitics.com/
Obama is talking in “code” about the “Jews” of Wall Street.
“Those you wish to destroy, first you must demonize.”
A. Hitler
Barack is Demonizing the “Jews” of Wall Street so he can turn the anger and frustration of the American People against them
It was an economic crisis that enabled Hitler to rise to power and demonize the Jews Of Europe In the late 20s & 30s.
This is right out of the Hitler/Farrakhan/Obama play book.
Charlie Schumer, Barney Frank, and Charlie Rose are all wearing the the Judas Goat Bell for Barack.
Hitler, like Farrakhan and Obama, wrote about what he intended to do to Jews but no one believed him.
If there is another Holocaust under Barak, Shame on the American Jews who support him.
The only code talker about Jews on wall street is Palins nutty preacher who said Christians should take over banking from the Jews who are crooks. Oh and Sarah was in church that day on video and she was blessed by him that day.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I8CMRo6aqrQ
She is not a member at that church anymore. That is what you do when you don’t agree with your pastor. You get up and leave. You don’t sit there with your wife and daughters for 20 years and leave only after there is public outrage!
Non-issue
I heart Lou Dobbs! He’s a squeeze-baby!
BUMMER, what did I miss on LOU?
Rev Jesse Jackson had been a much milder advocate for rights in his later years, but that is surely not how he started off. He basically sounded like Rev Wright, but in the 70’s when he was stoking such divisivenes and hatred about the “bad white” people, etc. He surely was not a unifer.
And when you grew up in a racially charged area of Miami like I did and have someone like him pushing more anger and violence, he’s not a welcome. It seems like Backtrack Barry may be bringing some of that out in him again.
Like me, you didn’t have to be jumped and beaten up the 5 or more times I did to recognize I better get my butt away from his preaching, before I couldn’t walk on my own two feet. That was him years ago. I was hiding outside the building to listen at the Miami Dade College…and ran home after I heard him.
Want to Wipe Out All Of ACORN’s Fraud? Time For The Purple Finger Act of 2008
The justified hue and cry over ACORN’s trying to steal this election can really be solved with a quick and clean piece of legislation that could be passed tomorrow. Require all voters on election day to dip their finger in the purple dye that the Iraqis have used since their fledgling democracy started a couple of years ago.
http://patriotroom.com/?p=3019
Good idea!
Jessie Jackson still hates Obama. He hates him for turning his son JJJR into a reflexive reactionnary tantrum retentive crybaby because some hurt his precious Messiah.
Jessie Jackson is doing his best to arouse the very powerful (and don’t kid yourself ’cause they are) Jewish lobby groups.
American politicians are reactive sycophants when it comes to the AIP lobby. And yes, that misguided association based primarily on a Judeo/Christian religious bent, and far less on geopolitical acumen, is why the Muslim communities worldwide are suspicious and paranoid of America’s intentions.
We need a FAIR policy for once in the middle east. Jessie Jackson is doing his damndest to kneecap Barack Hussein Obama and should in all practical purposes be commended for his efforts. Its a backwards way of doing, but…whatever works.
Regardless of how Bobo spins this, the word is already out there and will grow like a fungus. The Great Schlepp of O-bot Jews down to FL to talk to gramps and granny just skidded right into the ocean and the gulf! The anxiety of whites regarding powerful blacks and that of Jews regarding anti-Zionists is going to balloon with statements like Jesse’s! Maybe he’s trying to sabotage Bobo! Or does he support the fool and think he’s got the election won? The magical thinking of the MSM doesn’t make it so!
Best set of anti-Obama ads in the whole campaign. There’s a bunch of ‘em, but worth every look!

I’m making a bumpersticker:
McWhitey/C-word 08
Lets remember we are all American!!
Have a great evening
“We should work with our allies in Iraq to consolidate democratic institutions there,” he says. “We must help the people of Iraq decide and shape their future in accordance with their own culture and faith.”
Is it just me, or have I heard that somewhere before? Oh I remember now…isn’t that John McCains position?!?
Courtesy of JohnMcCain.com:
Strategy for Victory in Iraq
The Importance of Succeeding
John McCain believes it is strategically and morally essential for the United States to support the Government of Iraq to become capable of governing itself and safeguarding its people. He strongly disagrees with those who advocate withdrawing American troops before that has occurred.
It would be a grave mistake to leave before Al Qaeda in Iraq is defeated and before a competent, trained, and capable Iraqi security force is in place and operating effectively. We must help the Government of Iraq battle those who provoke sectarian tensions and promote a civil war that could destabilize the Middle East. Iraq must not become a failed state, a haven for terrorists, or a pawn of Iran. These likely consequences of America’s failure in Iraq almost certainly would either require us to return or draw us into a wider and far costlier war.
The best way to secure long-term peace and security is to establish a stable, prosperous, and democratic state in Iraq that poses no threat to its neighbors and contributes to the defeat of terrorists. When Iraqi forces can safeguard their own country, American troops can return home.
I hope all those Liberal Jews wake up, Jesse was telling the truth for a change. Obama does seem to have many Muslim connections, his family in Kenya, his step-father, the PLO Professor and the backing of Hamas, Farrakhan and many more. The only Jew I can remember seeing Obama with was George Soros, didn’t Soros work for the Nazi’s as a Youth?
Not surprising - when one looks at some of the views toward Israel that have emanated from Obama’s church and pastor of twenty years (of course Obama missed all of that).
Jessie Jackson is being . . . Jessie Jackson. He speaks before he thinks. But in this case, he speaks to something I’ve never really understood–the antipathy for Jews by the AA community.
And wait, before you jump all over me. I’ve heard this in my own mixed community, actually had a reasonably frank conversation with a friend who expressed incredibly biased opinions about how Jews dominate the MSM and movies and books and universities, yada, yada, ad infinitum. Jews want to take over the world, my friend said.
And yet, who were the whites on those Freedom Fighter runs during the Civil Rights era? A lot of Jews. Several of whom lost their lives in the effort. So okay, the numbers don’t match the number of AA’s who were beaten and lynched during a depressing and oppressive period of our history. But these people risked their lives and welfare for the sake of an ideal, civil rights for all. They didn’t have to do it. They did it anyway.
But they don’t deserve any credit? Nada?
As I said, I simply don’t get it.
Another lawsuit filed in WA for Obama to prove his citizenship qualification to be president.
(No wonder Michelle went on a rant agains white American racists…)
http://peoplespassions.org/peoplesvoice/Lawsuit_Sam_Reed/Summons_Cover_Letter_%20Rob_%20McKenna_Office.htm
I doubt she did that. No need to post the link the admin banned it if it is the one that was spammed all over the blog tonight.
Are those nice retired Jewish folks down in FL actually going to vote for Obama??? Can they be blind to this sort of stuff?
There’s a ‘feeling’ of GUILT and even commiseration with the Black Community among many Jews. Some of it is simply “Yellow Dog Democrats” (i.e. - will even vote for a Yellow Dog, as long as its a Democrat)
Not this Jew, thank goodness.
And btw — isn’t this the same Jesse who was caught on video a short while back wanting to do something with Obama’s “family jewels.”
After these remarks by Jackson, and the underlying concern about Obama’s true support for Israel, I want to say to my Jewish friends in Florida, New York and California,you should have your head examined if you vote for Obama. Vote McCain.
Please, all of you, go to AtlahWordlwide You Tube site and watch a video the black and anti-Obama preacher Rev.James David Manning has released six hours ago.It is called “God save Christmas”.Rev. Manning is talking about the interview given by Obama to People Magazine in June 2008.I think it passes to the troubling last statements of Jesse Jackson and proves that Obama, for him “Long Legged Mac Daddy” is not a christian.
Pastor Manning is a colorful character and speaks his mind unapologetically. I’m not sure if he helps or hurts Obama. Probably hurts?
Reverend Manning also calls Obama “Senator Tarzan”
Remember, Jews only represent 2% of the US population. that’s not enough to turn the election.
OBAMA’S YEARS IN INDONESIA??????? CHRIST ALMIGHTY THE GUY WAS THERE FROM AGE 6-8 AND WENT TO CATHOLIC SCHOOL OVER THERE. I SWEAR THE R IN REPUBLICAN MUST STAND FOR REFTARDED
Maybe you’re not listening.
Lots of raging anti-Muslim sentiment here, disguised as “support” for Israel.
Kinda seems like Jesse is trying to tank Obama.
