if you are not caring for your own family…
By American Girl in Italy on October 30, 2008 at 7:20 PM in Current Affairs, Obama
I wrote a piece the other day, based on a comment Obama made, “Most people understand that if you are not caring for your family, then you are probably not the kind of person who is going to be caring for other people.”
Yesterday, the Times Online published a story, “Found in a rundown Boston estate: Barack Obama’s aunt Zeituni Onyango”
“Barack Obama has lived one version of the American Dream that has taken him to the steps of the White House. But a few miles from where the Democratic presidential candidate studied at Harvard, his Kenyan aunt and uncle, immigrants living in modest circumstances in Boston, have a contrasting American story.”
It sounds like Obama *lost* them.
In stead of writing more about this, I think that it is best to let Obama’s words and actions speak for themselves.
““Americans’ greatest moral failure in my lifetime,” Obama said, “has been that we still don’t abide by that basic precept in Matthew that whatever you do for the least of my brothers, you do for me.”
Just words.
“Most people understand that if you are not caring for your family, then you are probably not the kind of person who is going to be caring for other people.” ~Barack Obama, October 24, 2008
Found in a rundown Boston estate: Barack Obama’s aunt Zeituni Onyango. Zeituni Onyango, the aunt so affectionately described in Mr Obama’s best-selling memoir Dreams from My Father, lives in a disabled-access flat on a rundown public housing estate in South Boston. A second relative believed to be the long-lost “Uncle Omar” described in the book was beaten by armed robbers with a “sawed-off rifle” while working in a corner shop in the Dorchester area of the city. He was later evicted from his one-bedroom flat for failing to pay $2,324.20.

Most people understand if you are not caring for your family, or your community, how are you going to care for your country?

My mom always said, “Charity begins at home.”
Clearly that adage depends on what one’s relatives are like.
He “lost” his relatives. Then there was that he couldn’t do his job as chair of the European Affairs subcommittee, which oversees not just all of Europe but ALL NATO OPERATIONS (including Afghanistan and the war therein) because, he replied to the debate questioner, he was TOO BUSY RUNNING FOR PRESIDENT.
And now, American Girl/Italy, you expect him to reach out to a bunch of relatives who really were just FILLER MATERIAL for his books? Honestly. Let the man run for president, will you?!?!?!?!!?!?
This all ties into his desire to redistribute wealth. Who needs to make a living so as to care for a family when it can be taken from their neighbor via handouts? Christ. Can someone explain to Barky and the Obamabots the process by which a family can be supported that actually includes the quaint notion of work?
I wonder if he shared any of his profits from his best sellers, with those he used for the book…
Typical
Der Precious is the epitome of worst kind of flaming bloody hypocrite I’ve ever seen!
Maybe there’s truth to the rumor that Barack Obama the First is not his real father…and these folks are not really his relatives.
OT: just saw this article from in-the-tank-for-BO Times mag on how early voting could cost McCain the election…
the nitwits over at Time don’t have a single clue about all the Dems who are voting for McCain
http://www.time.com/time/politics/article/0,8599,1855049,00.html
Yep. Early voting does not mean early voting by Dems for Der Precious. It just means early voting.
there is mass early voting in Indiana and I typically vote Dem but voted a straight Republican ticket. Add to that Indiana is a red state. I get so sick of people walking around pretending to be intelligent.
You REALLY MUST see this. Disturbing.

Yeah, It’s all about the eyes and lips. That’s where you can really see the resemblance…
Remember the words of Michelle Obama during the primaries, “If you can’t take care of your own house, how can you be expected to take care of the White House” remember that, she was talking about Hillary Clinton, my point exactly Michelle, you just proved the point that your husband is NO GOOD for this country. He can’t even send his own half-brother a few bucks in Kenya, poor guy is living on a buck a month, and now we find out that his aunt is living in a slum in Boston. WOW Barack, I guess you are NOT your brothers keeper
Obviously MO is just full of words against her enemies. She might try some of those lessons at home and speak to Zero that he SHOULD take care of HIS family. Not just the Hawaii family. Not acceptable to just parade the others around for the pandering vote and photo ops. Zero looks REAL hypocritical everyday that passes.
If these impoverished people are not actually related to BO then, this would explain away his seeming indifference to their plight. After all, he regarded his constituents in the poorest neighborhoods in Chicago in much the same way.
One truly has to wonder if they are related. Have you checked this out?

George is his “brother” who lives on $1 per month.
Hypocrit, with a capital “H”.
A quality for POTUS?
Don’t think so. Vote. Take your family and friends. Invite to drive your neighbors. Vote, add your voice and judgment. It’s our wall of defense.

Breaking* EXIT POLL of Americans in Israel: Landslide for McCain!

Jewish Backlash: 76% voted for McCain-Palin!
PUMA Backlash: 46% crossed party lines!
Here is the link

Thanks for posting this. This is great news!
Guess he picked a great running mate in OBiden too. My friend at the WSJ actually LAUGHED his azz off when he saw OBiden’s tax returns and how little he gave to charity. These guys are both phonies who don’t care about anyone but themselves. What will be sad is that OHitler’s voters think that they will be handed our houses, paychecks and cars because of OHitler’s “reparations” and I don’t think it’s going to work out that way.
I seriously hope you’re right.
What is this and who is responsible for this? How valid is it, anyone?
It is most disturbing. I don’t know what to think.

I heard this earlier. Love it! I was starting to dislike the Clintons, but now Bid Dawg is back in my good graces again!
sara p strikes again - found on hill buzz blog
(The mysterious sara p. the one who wrote about the Orwellian-Alinsky-Obama methods of operation is baaack. She sounded convincing the first time mostly because of the macro empirical truths she found. Not saying that any brainy social scientist couldn’t figure it out as well, but… What the hey, huh. Then again, what if she’s real…dun dun dunnn.)

“sarah p Says:
October 30, 2008 at 6:14 pm
I was going to write a long response to validate and defend myself, but I just don’t feel that its necessary. I am sorry some feel offended by my post. I have no shame or guilt, we all have careers but don’t necessarily agree with the boss. My duties are so benign and clerical that I don’t have a hand in what I feel is a “game”. The “game” as I see it is much like a play on vanity, its a ruffle up your feathers to appear larger kind of game. The campaign is now nearing 1 billion dollars, a 1 billion dollar campaign. Can you imagine, if 1 little girl came forth and tried to take on that kind of establishment. I am not the person for that, and its not possible for me to do without implosion. I am not sure I can offer much up that would take notice in the MSM and get reported. My story would not make news, its not newsworthy. Its not illegal, the ideas I am suggesting. Its smoke and mirrors, sure. Its playing with emotions, absolutely. But, to the masses and to the pundits it would be viewed as “campaigning” and you would be told that it was just Obama being the “better” campaigner.
The truth is simple. The idea is to appear as a winner. To deflate your opponent. To overwhelm your opponent. To confuse your opponent. And to own the airwaves. There was a mass coordination on foreigners to visit online sites and vote to declare who won in the debates. Did you notice that John Mccain seemed to lose and lose badly every time. Where did all those voters come from?
I could explain more, but my point wasn’t to dissect and draw this into a debate. My point was simple, never in my wildest dreams would I have ever considered myself a person who would vote for a “repug” as some like to call them. I have been involved in two elections and voted twice now. Straight democrat. I now see the truth, and the truth is to vote for what is best for our country. Vote not on emotion and don’t lose yourself to a game of mirrors. This election is down to a candidate that wants to win for his own desires and down to a candidate that wants to win for the country. Don’t allow yourself to be told what is right by anyone, review the facts, take a long good look at the candidate and decide what you believe is the right choice for us, for everyone in the united states. Your vote is your vote. Don’t allow a massive machine to feed you the answer.
I wrote the initial post to tell everyone to remain calm, stay firm in your convictions, vote with your heart don’t let the news and polls keep you and your will down. The news channels, the advertisements, the polls, are not the truth. They are not the truth. The truth is inside the people. Don’t be discouraged, and don’t give up.
And please, just ignore any oppositional voice on any forum, youtube, etc. Ask yourself one question, would there really be this much activity and opposition all on its own? Or were they sent, was this their mission? What seems more plausible?
How about the polls, how were the skewed? Take a look at the internals, always. But, above that think about something. How wold a polling company get paid? How would this be a viable business just on its own? They get paid by networks, ever notice how every two hours there is a pollster being interviewed and talking about his polls. Ever notice, the polls one day will have Barack Obama leading by 12, then the next day leading by 5, then the next day up to 8. How is that possible? Think about just one poll, that has Barack up 13 points, how badly would that destroy the average? Don’t you think it would be pretty easy to put together a few Pollsters to stick a few high polls up to throw off the average? This then makes other pollsters question their techniques, then they question the electorate and devise some kind of formula. They see their numbers as say Barack Obama up by 3, but they see another poll with Barack Obama up 13. They then formulate that there is problem, maybe some truth in the 13 poll, but that its overly exaggerated and that their poll is maybe too conservative so they then take their 3 and bump it up to say a 5-6. Its to split the difference, and the thought is that John Mccain doesn’t have the enthusiasm that Barack Obama does, so they give a weight adjustment that favors the democrat.
Lets just keep this simple, the race is 2-3 points in favor of Barack Obama. This is the internal truth. However, there is strong internal fear that there is no more votes left for him to pick up. Currently we see him at only 46% of the vote. Maybe 48% maximum.
If that wasn’t the truth, if all the polls were correct. Then why would there be a need for a 30 minute spot on all the networks. The goal from now and until next tuesday is to pick up 2 more percentage points. That is the goal. That is what the campaign is working on right now. That is the focus.
All the polls will all end up being around 3 point difference come monday. There will be a few rogue polls who will stick to their inflated numbers to help as that is their job, to help. but most will show it a 3 point race come monday.
The winner will be based on turnout, thats the secret, thats why you have seen so much opposition.”
This is the truth people. Read it. Heed it.
As I’ve said many times, McCain will win this election by about 5 points, and a few million popular votes. But, IF, and only IF, we all get out there and vote. It’s in our hands.
It’s just that simple.
John McCain
44th President of the United States
nationalalert…ROFLMAO…Bill Clinton flat out basically INSULTS OHitler ALL THE TIME and the intelligent Hillary supporters know what’s really going on. But what really just gripes me is the dumb dumbs who say they are voting for OHitler “because Hillary and Bill say they should.” Give me A BREAK.
Can it, Tumby. There are plenty of reasons NOT to vote for the faux Messiah, and people have been giving them for months. Nobody is forcing you on this site.
How come all of a sudden it feels like an ETERNITY until Tuesday? Anybody else feel that way…? I just want it to be over, to have John Sidney McCain and Sarah Palin safely elected so I can stop thinking about this election 24 hours a day.
I saw live coverage of a couple of rallies today…the crowds at both John’s and Sarah’s events are getting demonstrably more energetic and pumped up.
I think this election will be close but I still have an undying faith in that the majority of the American people will simply be too unsure about trusting our great Republic to BO and will put our ship safely in the hands of McCain.
No it’s not an eternity because the election is tightening and every day is another drip drip drip on Obama.

Frightening…very, very frightening.
OMG! OT, just read that Obama has asked RAHM EMANUEL to be his WH Chief of Staff. Yup, we’re gonna have a whole WH full of Chicago crooks–he’s another big bud of Emil Jones and Rod Blagojavich. No wonder Dick Durbin was determined that Clinton wouldn’t get in the WH.
This is how he starts diverting us, trying to announce his cabinet choices and key positions. Don’t take the bite, he has not been elected and won’t be.
He’s just words. How come too few look at what he actually does???

Look at these staggering figures. The polls are not picking up crossovers and Dems have a lot of worrying to do.
Heavens to betsy! Hannity has the video tape of the infamous dinner of Barack and the terrorists. Gotta go watch.
seriously?
barry: Sorry, I had it on mute when the program started and looked up just in time to see the caption that it was the slimy one speaking…I didn’t get the whole thing but it apparently was a different appearance, not the dinner that Barry and Billy attended.
Didn’t know for sure until after the break.
Hope the protesters outside the LA Times have some success.
Whoops…guess it was a different appearance of Mr. Khalidi.
OT IMPORTANT
Hannity dropped a big bomb right now on TV. fox found a book dating 1974 written by ayers and Dorn dedicating the book to among others Sirhan Sirhad, the one who killed Bobby Kennedy .
Caroline Kennedy should denounce her endorsement as well as Uncle Ted brother of Robert
Caligirl,
That is the video I was asking about. It is scary to think we are so close to maybe electing this man.
http://www.citizenslim.com/
Are you all watching Hannity right now. He has a book that Bill Ayers wrote in the late 70s, he dedicated the book to Sirhan, Sirhan, the guy that killed JFK, so Hey Obama, is this guy still your buddy, you got the Kennedy’s support but your buddy Ayers dedicates the book to the guy that killed JFK
RFK was killed by Sirhan Sirhan
Sirhan Sirhan was a supposedly self-appointed PLO assassin who killed RFK because of his support for Israel. BTW, the Marxist Leninist PLO was trained and controlled by the Soviet KGB just like Ayers and Dorhn were in Cuba.
RFK…The man who killed JFK was Lee Harvey Oswald.
I wonder what Teddy thinks about Billy Ayers.
Er..that was RFK. Bobby, not John.
We will wait patiently for Ted, Carolyn, Maria, Robert to comment on how it’s not Obama’s fault that a man he has been close to for decades praises the murderer of Robert Kennedy.
Well Obama just doesn’t know or care when he is in the company of evil, now does he?
Oh — well there’s a very reasonable excuse don’t you know — Obama was only a wee fellow of 7 years when RFK was assassinated. And of course we can’t expect him to know any history, especially history concerning US presidential candidates.
“That’s not the Bill Ayers I thought I knew. Now that I’ve been embarassed by him in public he’s under the bus, too.”
Quoath the Messiah:
“Americans’ greatest moral failure in my lifetime,” Obama said, “has been that we still don’t abide by that basic precept in Matthew that whatever you do for the least of my brothers, you do for me.”
Think about this for a minute guys — this is slippery, socialist, lawyer-speak. He’s not saying that HE should take care of his family — he’s saying WE should take care of his family.
I haven’t really seen much of the Kennedys this race. Wonder why they fell off the planet.
Does anyone remember the Hillary gaffe on the anniversary of the RFK assassination? Maybe she knew something on Ayers. Could be a stretch.
You got it ass backwards. It was the hoopla surrounding an innocuous reference about how long primaries generally run. It was diverted to mean that Hillary was actually suggesting that someone will/would assasinate Obama. Utter bullshit.
But now we find out that a mere six years after the assination of Bobby Kennedy, Asshole Ayers dedicates a book to his killer. Unfucking believable.
Alan Colmes on H & C talking to Tito the Builder. Tito says the people have a right to know about the candidates’ background and to have their questions answered about him - and the media (except for Fox) is HIDING THE INFORMATION FROM THE AMERICAN PEOPLE.
Colmes can’t even deny it anymore - his answer: Well, you can get the information if you REALLY want it - it’s there - there are other sources of information, ya know, like the internet….
I kid you not.
Ot..IMPORTANT MESSAGE
Sean Hannity, has a taping of Rashid Khalidi,talked about Foreign Policy,and the Corrupt Chicago Politics.. A MUST LISTEN..
Hope its on Utube,and spread the word…..
2 people arrested at Kentucky campus for hanging Obama effigy.
http://www.kentucky.com/471/story/574675.html
Why didn’t they arrest those bots who hung the effigy of Sarah Palin?
Just askin
Good question.
If that is true, why not arrest the people who did the Palin effigy? Depictions of violence against women are OK but against blacks is prohibited? One standard is the only acceptable standard, unless we want to revert to “separate but equal.” I am not necessarily for anyone being arrested. That is not my point. The inequality, a violation of the equal protection clause, is my concern.
The Constitution is only for men, dont’cha know.
New Obama video - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tnd5l1_uD0M
Governor of Hawaii, inexplicably ordred Obama’s birth records sealed:
Harvard Law Professor argues persuasively that Obama’s citizenship is in question, and court case is valid
While the press has ignored an incredible aspect of the Obama candidacy, a Harvard Law professor has given careful legal consideration as to whether Barak Obama is a citizen as defined by our Constituion, eligible to be President of the United States. A quick google search, seems to confirm the bona fides of the author of this article. It’s a must read if you think that our Constitution matters.
If Obama wins the Presidential election, and he is not eligible to be President, it will generate an incredible constitutional crisis. The Old School media has been beyond irresponsible in ignoring this situation. The attorney’s pushing this issue are not fringe kooks.
Obama went to Hawaii to purportedly visit a gravely ill grandmother. But while there, the Governor of Hawaii, inexplicably ordred Obama’s birth records sealed. Wouldn’t a real news editor want to know why? Wouldn’t a real news editor want to know why Obama won’t simply end the lawsuit by producing certified records. Shouldn’t all citizens be asking WTF is going on in this country?
You can’t produce something that doesn’t exist. BO was born in Kenya–his paternal grandmother said she and 2 other of his Kenyan relatives were in the delivery room there in Kenya when he was born. It used to be on youtube; I saw it months ago, but now it has “mysteriously” disappeared!! It is rumored that Phil Berg has a copy of it.
http://www.conservativeedge.com/Harvard-Law-Profesor-argues-persuasively-that-Obam
Will the governor of Hawaii who sealed the birth records of Obama be held accountable? Is there any law that says abetting a liar running for President (giggle) in legal terms of course???????
Why has Obama never publicly acknowledged that his Auntie was in the United States?
In the article, she says that she “can’t talk about” her relationship with Obama until after the election.
Why? Did “someone” contact her and tell her to keep quiet?
Also, her immigration status is “undetermined”.
It seems that the Times found her by checking public records for her name.
The MSM just received a public spanking by the Times.
Why won’t they do anything?
