Oh wait… GWB actually had some experience…. so Obama may well be worse.

I can’t believe how many people this man has fooled. Once again… a politician pops up who figures out how to play the mood… learn the lingo and say the right words to capitalize on it… parrot the right catch phrases… GWB did it 8 years ago, and BO is doing it now. Just a different audience, folks, in a different political climate. One extreme did poorly, so hey, let’s elect the OTHER extreme! There’s sound political logic for you.

When will people wake up and see the emperor for who he is? If it walks like a politician, talks like a politician…. His primary qualification, and job experience, is running for office.

What has he done since coming to the Senate? What did he do to “transform” politics in Chicago by the way–a political scene seething with corruption, cronyism, and machine politics? He didn’t change it. It helped get him where he is! Washington may not be ideal, far from it, but to let someone like this capitalize on that sentiment, tell us all what we want to hear, and con us all into electing him– believe what I say, not what I do– things can only get worse. Look at his record. Look at his friends. He is concerned about one thing: his political future.

It doesn’t even take rumors to see through him. A little research is perfectly sufficient to expose the lack of not only substance, but integrity. The same “community organizer” who went door to door to register voters contests his opponents’ signatures to run, forcing them out so he can run unopposed. His defense? Well, that’s the game. So, screw the people whose political voice was taken away because they didn’t sign in cursive? Fight for the people when it helps you politically, screw them when it doesn’t. yep, that’s change I can believe in. I can definitely believe he’ll change his mind, his allegiances, his friends.

Which side is he on? Seems to me it’s whichever is most politically expedient.

Take a look at what he’s really done in chicago. Who his friends are. For him to act like an outsider with his kind of connections is positively insulting to our intelligence. Look closely at who he’s supported… who he’s traded favors with… who he sides with when push comes to shove.

1996 Race for President of Cook County Board

Candidate 1 is a friend and fellow reformer- the challenger in the race
Candidate 2 is a multiterm incumbent, the classic political machine appointee. He represents everything Obama says he is fighting against, right? Of course Obama supports him right?

Wrong. He stayed quiet… at least, for a time. When candidate 2 suffered a stroke and was replaced on the ballot at the 11th hour by his son, Todd Stroger, Obama *backed him*.

And here’s another shocker for you: guess who is a superdelegate supporting Obama? Hint: his initials are T.S.

THIS is change I can believe in?
Will someone please change the channel. I’m really getting tired of the Obama infomercial.

I sincerely hope that America wakes up and sees that our desperation for a new direction has been seized by a good old-fashioned political opportunist. Folks, we’re being had big time. We need to stop seeing him as who we want him to be, who he wants us to think he is, and see the real man behind the curtain.

The reality of Obama is going to hit us sooner or later—I can only hope that it will happen before we make a dreadful mistake. Please, America. Look closely. Are you SURE about the Emperor’s new clothes?

The Secure America and Orderly Immigration Act
Introduced by Sen. John McCain in May 2005, and cosponsored by Sen. Edward Kennedy. Barack Obama added three amendments to this bill.

While the bill was never voted on in the Senate, the Comprehensive Immigration Reform Acts of 2006 and 2007, respectively, drew heavily upon the wording of this bill.

The Lugar-Obama Cooperative Threat Reduction.
Introduced by Sen. Barack Obama, Sen. Dick Lugar and Sen. Tom Coburn.

First introduced in November 2005 and enacted in 2007, this bill expanded upon the successful Nunn-Lugar threat reduction, which helped secure weapons of mass destruction and related infrastructure in former Soviet Union states.

Lugar-Obama expanded this nonproliferation program to conventional weapons — including shoulder-fired rockets and land mines. When the bill received $48 million in funding, Obama said, “This funding will further strengthen our ability to detect and intercept illegal shipments of weapons and materials of mass destruction, enhancing efforts to prevent nuclear terrorism.”

Federal Funding Accountability and Transparency Act of 2006
This act of Congress, introduced by Senators Obama and Coburn, required the full disclosure of all entities or organizations receiving federal funds in FY2007.

Despite a “secret hold” on this bill by Senators Ted Stevens and Robert Byrd, the act passed into law and was signed by President Bush. The act had 43 cosponsors, including John McCain.

The act created this Web site, which provides citizens with valuable information about government-funded programs.

Democratic Republic of the Congo Relief, Security, and Democracy Promotion Act

This law helped specify US policy toward the Congo, and states that the US should work with other donor nations to increase international contributions to the African nation.

The bill marked the first federal legislation to be enacted with Obama as its primary sponsor. Following this legislation’s passage, Obama toured Africa, traveling to South Africa, Kenya, Djibouti, Ethiopia and Chad. He spoke forcefully against ethnic rivalries and political corruption in Kenya.

Honest Leadership and Open Government Act
In the first month of the 110th Congress, Obama worked with Sen. Russ Feingold to pass this law, which amends and strengthens the Lobbying Disclosure Act of 1995.

Specificially, the changes made by Obama and Feingold requires public disclosure of lobbying activity and funding, places more restrictions on gifts for members of Congress and their staff, and provides for mandatory disclosure of earmarks in expenditure bills.

The House passed the bill, 411-8, on July 31. The Senate approved it, 83-14, on Aug. 2. At the time, Obama called it “the most sweeping ethics reform since Watergate.”

Deceptive Practices and Voter Intimidation Prevention Act

Following the Republican-sponsored voter intimidation tactics seen in mostly black counties in Maryland during the 2006 midterm elections, Obama worked with Sen. Chuck Schumer to introduce this bill.

The bill has been referred to the United States Senate Committee on the Judiciary. Obama said of the bill, “This legislation would ensure that for the first time, these incidents are fully investigated and that those found guilty are punished.”

The Obama-McCain Climate Change Reduction Bill

The Obama-McCain bill, which is co-sponsored by Sen. Joe Lieberman, I-Conn., would cut emissions by two-thirds by 2050.

Iraq War De-Escalation Act of 2007

Introduced by Obama, this binding act would stop the planned troop increase of 21,500 in Iraq, and would also begin a phased redeployment of troops from Iraq with the goal of removing all combat forces by March 31, 2008.

Explaining the bill, Obama said it reflects his view that the problems in Iraq do not have a military solution. “Our troops have performed brilliantly in Iraq, but no amount of American soldiers can solve the political differences at the heart of somebody else’s civil war,” Obama said.

Amendments to the 2008 Defense Authorization Bill

Obama worked with Sen. Kit Bond to limit, through this bill, the Pentagon’s use of personality disorder discharges in the FY 2008 Defense Authorization bill.

This provision would add additional safeguards to discharge procedures and require a thorough review by the Government Accountability Office. This followed news reports that the Pentagon inappropriately used these procedures to discharge service members with service-connected psychological injuries.

“With thousands of American service members suffering day in and day out from the less visible wounds of war, reports that the Pentagon has improperly diagnosed and discharged service members with personality disorders are deeply disturbing,” said Senator Obama. “This provision will add additional safeguards to the Department of Defense’s use of this discharge and mandate a comprehensive review of these policies.”

The Comprehensive Nuclear Threat Reduction provision

Working with Sen. Hagel and Rep. Adam Schiff, Obama authored this provision, which would require the president to develop a comprehensive plan for ensuring that all nuclear weapons and weapons-usable material at vulnerable sites around the world are secure by 2012 from the threats that terrorists have shown they can pose.

A provision from the Obama-Hagel bill was passed by Congress in December 2007 as an amendment to the State-Foreign Operations appropriations bill.

“It is imperative that we build and sustain a truly global effort under an aggressive timeline to secure, consolidate, and reduce stockpiles of nuclear weapons and weapons-usable material to keep them out of the wrong hands. The comprehensive nuclear threat reduction plan required by this provision is an important step in that effort,” Obama said of the provision.

If this country is in such dire need, WHY do all the generals and admirals and WESLEY CLARK not want obama??? The DNC is treading water and in bed with axelrots tactics. DON’T LISTEN.

Its HILLARY or McCAIN. DO NOT BE FOOLED
