Obama continues his organizing work largely through classes for future leaders identified by ACORN and the Centers for New Horizons on the south side.

Not a good thing for a democracy. The natural processes are slow and often unfair. The majority will win out–is generally the rule. Mother nature is also often unfair. Take it up with God or universal physical laws. A more humane nature can no more be grafted onto our hopes than a cow’s leg onto a pig.

But in a fair and just world things will change for the better. Forcing the issue will only alienate…that is the message in “circling the white wagons.”

Neither of the Obamas have cause to bash our society…they have prospered from the changes advanced in recent decades. Seems many minorities (this is, after all, a predominantly anglo/saxon society) are too busy fighting the system rather than taking advantage of opportunities. Wallowing in self-pity and angry outrage is counterproductive–except to those
demagogues who make a living espousing hate and division; they are set for life.

Wake up and smell the hypocrisy. People of modest income do have a common enemy; it is greed and corruption at the highest levels. We can’t beat that entrenced hierarchy by attacking one another or burning down our cities.

ONE: The connection between the two tells us who the real Barack Obama is.

This is the equivalent of a tin-foil-hat conspiracy theory. Such people believe that one distant association with someone whose long-past actions Obama has expressly and repeatedly rejected as horrible, tells us more than (1) the two books Obama has written about who he is, where he is from, and what he wants for America (btw, Ayers does not appear in either of those books–if the connection between the two were as strong as “Hannity Insanity” assume, you’d expect to see Ayers at least get a mention); (2) his legislative voting record for 6 years in the Illinois Senate and 2 years in the U.S. Senate; (3) the hundreds if not thousands of political speeches he has given in the last 20 months while running for president; and (4) the advisors he has surrounded himself within the 20 months of this campaign.

Of course, conservatives have looked at all of this and have found nothing to support the tin-foil-hat theory that the weak connections to Ayers tell it all–much less an iota of proof that Obama knew about Ayers Weather Underground days before Ayers’ book came out in 2001, if even then, so even the best case they have is based upon unproven assumptions. And yet, this utter bullshit argument persists, which could only mean it persists because of reason two.

TWO: Obama’s statements about his weak associations with Ayers show that Obama is a liar.

I’ll give you “misleading” on this, and here is why. Was Obama ever asked to tell us all of the connections between himself and Ayers, however distant? NO. Obama apparently gave a one sentence endorsement one on of Ayers books in 1995, but there is no proof that Obama didn’t just forget about that. Ayers likely wrote it anyway-that’s how many of those book endorsement work.

So, the best you have is that Obama said, “He’s just a guy in my neighborhood,” which is technically true, and relevant because it explains why a young nobody running for office would gladly appear at anyone’s home who would invite a few friends and give him an audience–as he explains in his second book. You ought to read it.

But, I will give you that it appears deliberately misleading if you’ll give me that Bush deliberately misled us about WMD’s in Iraq. After all, we now know that Bush knew of considerable high-level intelligence refuting his position and did not let us know about the intelligence. One misled us to bring a nation into a war of aggression, needless costing thousands of lives and a huge pointless drain on our treasury. The other deliberately misled us to keep tin-foil-hat conspiracy kooks from trying to make something out of nothing–SEE NUMBER ONE.

Don’t know why the Muppit Show of Gaza thinks this story is important.

Frankly, My respect for Powell, is more akin to swiss cheese.

Poor goats.

O the terrorist’s a person in your neighborhood,
In your neighborhood, in your NAY-BOR-HOOD,
O the terrorist’s a person in your neighborhood–
A person that you see each day . . .

Awwwwww, you’re being…RACISSSSST!!!!

Let me clue in you.

I’ve paid attention these last 7.5 nightmarish years, yes, even the 2 years where Pelosi and Reid bowed to the shrub even as they stated “impeachment is off the table.”

I’ve paid attention, as uhbama has done NOTHING to improve Chicago, except gain approval from Chicago’s don of politics…

I’ve paid attention as uhbama endorsed Alexi Giannoulias for state treasurer EVEN WITH HIS FAMILY’S CONNECTIONS TO CRIMINAL ENTERPRISE VIA THEIR PRIVATELY OWN BANK.

I’ve paid attnetion as uhbama cavorted with Tony Rezko for not once year, or 6 months..but 15+ YEARS, and STILL accepted financial/land help even WHILE HE WAS BEING CRIMINALLY INVESTIGATED.

I’ve paid attention as uhbama turned his back on progressive values with his RETRO-FISA IMMUNITY VOTE, while HILLARY VOTED AGAINST IT. I’ve paid attention as uhbama voted for Cheney’s energy bill…and Hillary VOTED AGAINST IT.

I’ve paid attention as his campaign overwhelmed the caucus process while intentionally with people not legally approved to participate! I’ve paid attention while uhbama’s campaign RACEBAITED AND SMEARED Bill and Hillary Clinton! I paid attention during the RBC committee when one of uhbama’s cronies claimed to be a fighter for VOTER RIGHTS, when he didn’t even know what FAIR REFLECTION MEANT. I paid attention while they robbed HIllary Clinton of any true respect, and called CUNT! I paid attention and even after they STOLE the election from her, they STILL couldn’t be big enough to give the FIRST FEMALE PRESIDENTIAL CANDIDATE TO RECEIVE 18,000,000, MILLION! votes her due recognition!

FUCK YOU MUPPITY and FUCK YOUR IGNORANCE!!!

uhbama IS george w. bush!
I was right about the shrub, I’m right about uhbama!
