Sean Hannity on Gun FlipFlop FlimFlam Obama DingDong

All in all, an excellent review of Obama’s various, audience-dependent positioning on gun control — including an interview of a reporter for Politico — posted by V for NoQuarter’s YouTube channel:

Here are more NoQuarter reports on Obama’s inconsistent stands on gun control during the primaries as well as the SCOTUS ruling:

  • Disgusted

    Of course Obama is anti gun.

    An “outraged” Mayor Daley this morning denounced a U.S. Supreme Court ruling overturning Washington D.C.’s handgun ban as a “frightening decision” and a “return to the days of the Wild West.”

    Daley predicted that Chicago’s 1982 handgun freeze would be next in the crosshairs of the powerful gun lobby and that gun violence will surge if they’e successful.

    [...]

    “This is a very frightening decision for America. …Does this lead to everyone having a gun in our society? If they think that’s the answer, then they’re greatly mistaken. Then, why don’t we do away with the court system and go back to the Old West? You have a gun and I have a gun and we’ll settle in the streets,” Daley told reporters at Navy Pier

    • Disgusted

      I hurried to get the first post in. Chicago is very anti-gun. So am I for that matter, but that’s another story entirely. Any digging whatso-ever will quickly learn Obamas stance on guns. Let me also add that the honorable ( I use this term in jest ) is also a big fan of arming Chicago policeman with machine guns.

      • Disgusted

        Mayor Daley should come after honorable.

      • Zeke

        Did any of you out there truly think the Second Amendment was created just for the National Guard?
        Police with machine guns and citizens without even handguns kinda un-maintains that militia thingy. One doesn’t cede ones right to defend ones rights.
        We’re all sitting here thinking what was really meant by Blood in the Streets Brazille or the real t-shirts telling us Obama or die. Who knows? But can I depend on a government which could believe what Obama believes and let them take away my right to defend myself?
        To quote Gary Cooper,
        “Nope”
        I don’t even own a handgun but if you’d like to see my new collection, just tell me I can’t have any.

        • elise

          Zeke, the Supreme Court ruling also said states have the right to impose regulations.

          • Billy Beane

            But the regulations can not ban the private possession and use for self defense in one homes. That was the express ruling of Heller. Regulations relating to age, criminal record, mental capacity, etc, are fine according to the Court, but outright bans are unconstitutional.

            • elise

              I agree, but background checks don’t seem unreasonable to me.

              • beebop

                Last summer a woman was killed by her boyfriend who just happened to be a Canton, Ohio cop. If she had had a gun in her house, would she be alive? I don’t know. What I do know is that a blue uniform is no guarantee that you are necessarily the only person who is mentally credible to carry a weapon.

                No one votes for a Democrat for their NRA creds. What is laughable is that in his 57 state theory, he looked at a map of the US and sliced and diced it looking for what previous candidates hadn’t offered the citizenry. Out West he thinks its guns. Down south he thinks its God. The laughable part is that the NRA will dispell the first fiction and all someone from Georgia needs to do is get a good look at Rev Wright and Father Phlegm and that pretty much takes care of the faith folks. The carnie barker forgets that trail he has left …..

                • John

                  Oh brother. You know, I really loathe that “what if” argument. How many kids are ALIVE today because their parents DON’T have a gun in the house? How many adults are ALIVE today because they WEREN’T gunned down by some pissed-off driver on the beltway who had had one two many cups of coffee and felt they had been cut off?

                  Give the “what if” shit a rest already, will you? When you resort to asking people to prove a negative, you just admit you don’t have enough solid material to back up your argument.

                  • joe

                    And how may familes are alive today becuase a law a biding parent fended off an intruder with a handgun? The argument goes both ways.

                    Guns in the hands of law abiding persons lowers the rate of crime rather tha increase it. Gun bans assure that only criminals have guns.

                    Does anyone know who instituted Chicago’s handgun ban? It was former 1st Ward Ald. and convicted felon Fred Roti, a made-member of the Chicago Outfit. How nice: the criminals banning the guns so the regular US citizen can’t protect him/herself. How Chicago!

                    • sjc-tx

                      Fewer than the number of dead from handguns. Entire countries in Euorpe survive just fine without handguns. The police don;t even carry them. Guess how many of their citizens have died from gunshot????

                    • John

                      The vast majority of people killed with handguns are killed by a family friend or member.

                      People who carry guns are more likely to be killed by their own gun than they are to successfully defend themselves using it.

                      The vast majority of kids killed by handguns are killed in their own homes, NOT INTRUDERS.

                      Guns in the home do not make ANYBODY safer.

                      Spare us the NRA talking points, please. They don’t match up with the facts at all.

                • sjc-tx

                  I think they need to “Reintroduce” the videos of the ‘faith’ and church that oblassole attended and was “inspired” by for 22 years. Bring back wright and farrakhan… REMIND the voters just exactly WHAT BHO TRULY IS!

        • JozefAL

          Um, I’m sorry, but the reality is that YES, the Constitution’s “right to bear arms” IS RESTRICTED TO “a well-regulated militia”. When the Constitution was written there was NO STANDING ARMY (or any standing military). Each state was largely responsible for providing its own men (and arms) for the defense of the state. When the Constitution was ratified, this didn’t completely change. The United States was dependent upon the militias of each state (and each state’s militia was ultimately considered under the auspices of the Department of War).
          Once the United States formally established a “professional” army, the individual state militias (still with the “right to bear arms”) were largely reorganized into the National Guard units we know now.
          Basically, what the Supreme Court decision did was no more than Judicial Activism–in essence, rewriting the Second Amendment by stripping it of the “well-regulated militia” clause, and doing so WITHOUT Congressional approval OR by using the Amendment process. (Oddly, the same people screaming about courts “rewriting” marriage laws without allowing the people to vote on the matter are pretty silent when the Conservative members of the Supreme Court do that very same thing.)

          • Billy Beane

            you obviously did not read the 67 pages of majority opinion or the approximately 100 pages of dissent to understand the history and rational of the decision. There was a clear intent for the individual right established at the time of drafting the second amendment.

          • Billy Beane

            BTW, the Supreme Court is the final arbiter of the Constitution, not Congress. See Marbury v. Madison. The Supreme Court does not seek Congressional approval for its decisions. Congressional legislation is subject to Supreme Court review upon a case in controversy arising challenging the constitutionality, scope or application of the legislation.

          • Hope Floats

            The Constitution said blacks couldn’t have guns, too. No restrictions. Every American should be allowed to own a gun.

          • LilRod

            I agree completely.
            The ammendment clearly has a qualifier.
            Understanding the events at the time clearly defines the right to bear arms to the militia.

            • joe

              See, that’s where you are wrong. The amendment does not have a qaulifier, as was reasoned by the SCOTUS.

              Sorry anti-gun folks, but the SCOTUS is the final arbiter, so if they say it is so, it is so. And, there now IS an individual right in the 2nd amendment.

          • joe

            –Once the United States formally established a “professional” army, the individual state militias (still with the “right to bear arms”) were largely reorganized into the National Guard units we know now.–

            If the original intent of the framers was to igve the states a right to ar themselves for the purpose of denfese against the federal government, once the federal government “nationalized” those militias, wouldn’t that make the NG system unconstitutional. Nationalizing the guard and making it subject to POTUS control neutralizes the “collective” right of the people to arm against the government. Therefore, even if that was the original intent, the SC would either have to outlaw the current NG system or guarantee an individual right in order to protect the original intent of the amendment.

            “Guns don’t kill people – People kill people.”

    • fran

      This constant shifting also confirms what we suspect about his poor judgment–even his political judgment. Hillary has developed her positions over time, and knows what Americans [ALL Americans, not just the ones she needed for the Primary] care about, and would not have needed to change every policy position she had for the GE. How does BO possibly think this will not be used against him by the Republicans or that anyone will believe his brand spankin’ new positions, since he’s only advocated for them since yesterday?!

      I can’t wait to see how many foreign policy changes he makes after his summer internship abroad.

  • Seattle Moss

    Back in 2000 I was amazed at how short sighted my bitter friends in Ohio were on the gun issue.
    Everyone of them was voting for Bush because they were worried about Gore taking their Gun rights away.
    I tried to warn them that Bush was an empty suit and not experienced but they didn’t listen.

    I doubt very much that these same people will be voting for Obama in light of his flops on guns,his anti-American associations and those bitter comments.

    • beebop

      Yes Obama did – and no one suggested he wanted McCain assassinated!
      But when Hillary merely mentioned that RFK was assassinated in June – oh my!! Obama’s blogger boyz and media pundits went wild with faux outrage – claiming Hillary wanted Obama assassinated.

    HOW OBAMA LOSES THE ELECTION IN 30 SECONDS.

    In the Obama campaign’s most recent bizarre moment, Barack Obama, exercising the judgement he has become famous for, decided it was a good idea to send Wesley Clark onto the Sunday talk show circuit to criticize John McCain’s war record and military service saying it was not sufficient for him to be commander-in-chief. This is something like a colander accusing a pot of having holes. It is also crosses the line into incompetence considering that Ret.Major General Barack Obama’s war record consists entirely of a successful attack on Alice Palmer to get his start in Chicago politics.

    Now we can add another Obama “what were they thinking moment” to go along with his other famous moments including his recent seal of disapproval which doesn’t just call his judgement into question, it shows he simply doesn’t have any. And while being a Navy fighter pilot and a POW for 4 years certainly doesn’t qualify someone to be Commander-in- Chief, being mentored for 17 years by Jeremiah Wright doesn’t exactly move you to the top of the list either.

    Nancy Pelosi said not too long ago that she supported Obama because he has the judgment to be President. This is of course, like a homeless person giving advice on how to fix the housing crisis. We’ve been seeing Obama’s judgement on display for the past two weeks and it hasn’t been pretty. Breaking his pledge on public campaign financing, embracing the telecom immunity bill, reversing himself on Jerusalem within 24 hours which managed to unite both Israelis and Palestinians in their contempt for him, the Johnson episode before that, flip flopping on the recent Supreme Court gun decision while trying to pretend his reversal was because of “inartful” phrasing a year ago, and that obnoxious seal. And now an attack on McCain’s military service as being insufficient to be Commander-in-chief in support of a Presidental candidate that doesn’t have any of his own.

    This is another extension of the judgment Obama showed in his 17 year relationship with Wright and his insufficient and evasive explanations about it during the primary.

    After being caught in a series of lies about what he actually knew and heard, he finally admitted what he knew and heard said he disagreed with every inflammatory anti-American statement Wright ever made and found them all reprehensible and despicable. But he never gave a credible explanation as to why it took him 17 years to leave the room.

    He has shown a propensity for saying anything to anyone at anytime to get what he wants right at the moment or to try and make a favorable impression and worry about the consequences later and he’s been able to get away with it with the terminally gullible.Especially the journalists covering his campaign. But that’s how you get reversals and broken pledges and flip flops on Supreme Court decisions and Jerusalem and how the person who claimed he had the judgement to be Commander-in-Chief from day one didn’t leave Wright and his church until day 6,205.

    Chicago journalists speculate he stayed at Trinity Church for 17 years for political reasons because it was in the district he represented and he did it to continue to get re-elected. Whatever Obama’s reasons 17 years is a long time. And his actions and what he had to say about its says everything there needs to be said about his judgement and his credibility and who and what he is as a politician. How he could even think that attacking McCain’s military service and war record as making him unfit to be the Commander-in-Chief could have any credibility in boosting his own standing to be Commander-in-Chief should be enough for the super delegates who declared for him on June 5 to undo the damage when they get to the convention and cast their votes when it really counts.

    I used to be in advertising. I did print ads and TV commercials and ad campaigns for a living. I won a lot of awards doing it. Everything I did was successful. Everything. I worked for some of the top agencies in the business. And I’m still good at it

    It took me less than 5 minutes to write a commercial for John McCain using this one issue, that he could run against Barack Obama from now until election day and John McCain could go fishing from now until November and win an election that would make Reagan – Mondale look like a squeaker.

    I’m not bragging. I’m just trying to make a point. I didn’t do the commercial as a gift to John McCain. I did it as a gift to the Democratic Party and any superdelegates who still wants to win in November. They have seven weeks to take it. I hope they do.

    OPEN ON BLACK AND WHITE STILL OF McCAIN LYING PRONE IN A NORTH VIETNAMESE PRISON CAMP.

    VO: For 4 years John McCain stood up for America as a POW in a North Vietnamese prison camp refusing under torture to make anti- American statements to be used as propaganda, never knowing when any given day might be his last.

    INTERCUT VARIOUS SHOTS OF OBAMA AND JEREMIAH WRIGHT EMBRACING AND SMILING, THEN WRIGHT ON HIS PULPIT RAILING WITH ONE OF HIS SERMONS.

    V.O: For 17 years Barack Obama wouldn’t stand up for America against the anti-American statements made by his own pastor in a black church on the south side of Chicago until his political ambitions made it neccessary.

    TWO STILLS SIDE BY SIDE – A B&W STILL OF McCAIN AS POW – OBAMA AND WRIGHT SMILING FOR THE CAMERA.

    V.O.: Years before asking anyone for a single vote each made a choice. On November 4th it will be time to make yours.

    FREEZE FRAME: McCAIN IN HIS DRESS WHITE NAVY UNIFORM ON CRUTCHES GETTING A MEDAL.

    SUPER: John McCain For President.

      you sound like you are very good at what you do. and that commercial you described is definitely a gift for all of us. There are an awful lot of patriotic people in this country. Look at Bush’s rating right after 9/11. You show this commercial and watch Obama’s ratings drop in the polls LIKE A LEAD BALLOON.

      I really wish some of this stuff would come out before August but I don’t think that’s going to happen. My guess is the DNC is bought and paid for by Soros. I hope the Republicans nail all their stupid asses to the wall soon. It will be a joy to watch them and Obama supporters throwing tantrums. Calling people racist won’t work either.

I keep wondering why people hashing over this Clark deal don’t keep asking the same question, if McCain supposedly isn’t qualified, WHAT MAKES OBAMA QUALIFIED TO BE PRESIDENT? A big fat NOTHING. Next to McCain’s service record, his courage, honesty, his proven love for America and his government experience, it’s no contest. Great post and thanks!

  • typical.white.person

    I used to think Obama’s theme of “change” was just rhetoric. But, the more I think about it I am beginning to actually agree with his theme of “change.”

    Obama “changes” his position from one day to the next (NAFTA, FISA, gun control, equal pay, et al.).

    That way, when he lies to his followers the next time (and there will be a next time), he can always tell the Obamatrons he wasn’t lying, he merely “changed” his position. You know, we “hoped” it would work the other way but it didn’t, so we “changed” 180 degrees in the opposite direction. Obama’s flexible like that.

    In fact, he changes his position so often, I have faith Obama will change it many more times during the campaign.

    • HARP

      I`m willing to bet that after his trip to Iraq, staying there will be his idea.

        He is such a control freak, his minions use tactics that are deplorable to American society.

        Rev. Al ran down to Florida after the primary to get the signitures of people who didn’t vote.

        They did NOT bother to vote so their non-votes were votes for ob because they signed a petition?

        It doesn’t work that way AL. There was an ELECTION process, they chose to stay home.

        And the ones who did give their full votes were declared half votes anyway.

    If Democrats want to put a president in the White House they will write their super delegates and demand they vote for Sen Clinton in Denver. Any pledged delegates should vote for her as well. The firestorm in Iraq is about to jump the firewall to Iran and there is no way America will entrust a radical, inexperienced, anti-Semitic and anti-American candidate to be President — nor should we. Let’s nominate HRC, so Americans will elect a progressive in November and we will have an improved economy, UHC and national security.

    You can not afford to stay home come election day, you have to use your vote otherwise the wrong Candidate will win by default.

    We are not going to stay home, we will be voting. Not for Sen. Obama.

    If Sen. Clinton name is not the DNC Presidential candidate, we will be voting for Sen. John MacCain.

    You have to vote, do not seat it out vote for the candidate that you trust. Do not waste your vote.

      OMG Obama is a joke.

      Everyday when I get on the net, as that is the only place that you can go to, to actually find out what is REALLY going on and who Obama REALLY is. Everyday I sit here with disbelief, just shaking my head.

      This man is a chameleon, with many shady colors. And the fact that he is were he is, so very close to being our commander in chief, the most powerful position in the entire world, is mindboggling.
      He changes his color of the day, to suit whatever group he is talking to, to get them to endorse him.

      I don’t really so much blame the DNC, we all know what to expect from power hungry politicians.

      But, the media? This is their country also, not just ours. Don’t they care about the future of our great country. The future of their children. As journalists and reporters, they have a responsibility to the American people.

      This is not American idol or the male version of “Miss America”

      This is a nomination of the President of the United States of America. Our fate, our future is in the hands of whom ever is elected.

      The media has to be held accountable. The majority of the people don’t even have a clue as to Obama really is. They only hear what the opinionated biased media wants them to hear. They only know what they are being told, what they are brainwashed into believing, by our so called news media.

      The news media, along with the DNC and Obama, will go down in history as being the cause of the great divide. They will be blamed for, once again, lighting the match, and igniting racial tension.

      The American people have to stand up and make them accountable. They have a responsibility to inform the citizens the FACTS. Not the spin. Not their biased opinions.

      STAND UP AMERICA

  • karen for Clinton

    When talking about gun control, many times ob used the term “mentally deranged” instead of the PC term “mentally challenged.” Mentally ill would be a suitable term as well, but “deranged” is just wrong.

    Unless of course you are talking about CDS (Clinton Derangement Syndrome) or ob himself who every day seems more and more absolutely deranged.

    I have worked in that field. I would never call somebody “a retard” but I have said often they have retarded development, etc.

    It is a fine line, but a presidential hopeful should have enough diplomacy and class to not cross obvious lines of sensitivity.

    Every time he used that term he threw millions of learning disabled under the bus.

    As for guns. Remember the huge issue of the Clinton flier on obama’s lack of a clear stance on guns that was distributed in PA? Some of the people suffering from CDS said the ad had the gun pointing at OB’s head. It wasn’t at all. Then they quibbled it was a left handed gun or a right handed one or reversed in the photo blah, blah, blah. But nobody seemed to mind he FLIPPPED and he LIED at the ABC debate about his handwriting on the survey.

    Clinton was so clear on her gun stance. What works in upstate NY does not work for NYC. Washington DC is different from the suburbs as is Philadelphia center city from the rest of the state of PA.

    Clear concise stance by Hillary and more importantly it didn’t change every time she was infront of a different audience. And the freak called her Annie Oakely in a duck blind with a six shooter. ugh.

    He wanted the endorsement so told them what they wanted to hear, and voted for concealed weapons.

    Get out the spatula, it’s time to flip OB.

  • HillaryANDBillSupportObamaNow

    Standard,
    Those of us who support Senator Obama never deified him in the first place. Unlike some of the posters here who support Hillary Clinton and have martyrized her into something no human could ever be–perfect–we understand Obama is a flawed politician. We also recognize that ALL politicians, McCain and both Clintons included–tend to run to the center once nominated, which entails considerable “flip flopping.” Senator Obama is making smart choices right now in terms of who and how he is reaching out, and yes, that does involve some nuance to his earlier stated party purist positions, and while I understand that frustrates the 50 or so here as it most likely ensures his dazzling triumph in the fall, please don’t act like it’s new. You know it is not.

    • Obama is a bum

      “we understand Obama is a flawed politician”

      Agreed, and I would add too flawed to be considered for president.

    • wodiej

      dazzling triumph? get out the smelling salts, you’re a few sandwiches short of a picnic. Hillary supporters do no idolize her like Obama supporters do Obama. You’re getting confused. Hillary is everything she claims to be while Obama is all talk. Again, Obama supporters never address Obama sitting in a racist, anti American, hate filled church for 20 years.

      • HillaryANDBillSupportObamaNow

        Racist church? Much of what Reverend Wright said about U.S. foreign policy and institutional racism was spot-on. To dismiss it all as the rantings of a paranoid reverse racist is like saying all the women who lampooned GWB (myself included) for 8 years are reverse sexists. Remember “sleazy oil man,” “cowboy president,” “chimp in a suit”? REVERSE SEXISM, right? Its an argument that doesn’t hold water and people who espouse it either literally live in a cave and don’t have a clue what kind of apartheid makes up most of our American cities, less than 50 years after civil rights, OR are simply racists themselves and are simply scapegoating the victims. The sad thing is that in any other election year, when Hillary hadn’t been defeated, you democrats would be infuriated by Rev Wright’s demonization. But most of the posters on this site are republicans, so I can’t hold you too responsible.

        • Obama is a bum

          “The sad thing is that in any other election year, when Hillary hadn’t been defeated, you democrats would be infuriated by Rev Wright’s demonization.”

          You just insulted the vast majority of people in the Democratic party. Only another racist would support Wright and obviously that is what you are.

        • wodiej

          Rev, Wright has nothing to do with Hillary-nice try though. I wouldn’t excuse Wright no matter who the nominee is. See I’m funny that way. If something is wrong it’s simply wrong. But I have a moral compass so I won’t make excuses for people. I think everyone should be accountable.

          First of all, church is not the place for rantings and ravings but I doubt you know anything about that since you think it is ok to begin with. While Rev. Wright was saying our chickens came home to roost about 9/11, victims were still being dug out of the rubble. Saying “God Damn America”. US gave black male AIDS to wipe out the race. There will always be some racism, sexism and all types of discrimination. The point you and your fellow Obama adorers don’t understand is spewing HATE AND ANGER WON’T FIX WHAT IS WRONG. If it did it would not still be going on. You just don’t get it.

          And what does calling Bush a sleazy oil man got to do with sexism?? Nothing. You’re just rambling.

        • Hope Floats

          I challenge you to find the quote from Ambassador Peck that Rev. Wright supposedly borrowed. There is no way in hell that “chickens coming home to roost” means blowback or anything but that America invited the 911 attacks. No church has any business preaching such a thing, let alone five days after the event. Many blacks have a problem with saying their brains are different from whites since that was an excuse for segregation and hate crimes for the longest time. Rev. Wright is out of his mind, and he freaks out 99% of the country. It was a condition that Obama renounce an association with this man in order to become the nominee. It’s a small wonder when you look at his comments which have little relevance in a nation of immigrants.

          Then why didn’t Obama defend it, instead of calling it basically what WE are calling it?

          Either what Wright said was lunacy and Obama was right to distance himself from it, or what Wright said was correct and Obama was a gutless coward to dump Wright overboard. Make up your mind and get back to us when you’ve decided, ok?

    • Hope Floats

      McCain and Clinton have spent their careers at the center, and Obama has little apparent respect for either of them. As Obama supporters eviscerated the Clintons during the primaries, we have all understood that they were politicians and dedicated public servants. We forgive politicians the understandable flaws that come with their jobs while they are doing their jobs for us. Obama considers his full-time job applying for a promotion, though. We’ll see whether a bunch of speeches impress the electorate this fall. I have a feeling the dazzling victory will be McCain’s.

      • K. Wynne

        Hope Floats,

        This is off topic, but many of us are planning on being in Denver to protest the coronation of BO.

        Those seeking permits for the protest in Denver were told that the BO camp wanted us put a mile away from the Convention. In response, the ACLU is filing a lawsuit against Denver demanding that we be allowed to be next to where the media will be outside the Convention. Don’t have a lot of faith in that case succeeding, but at least they are trying.

        Also, another person was told that at an rally where Hillary and BO appear together, the Hillary supporters could not cheer for Hillary, nor could they were Hillary t-shirts or carry any signs that show support for her!

        I hope Larry and the rest of you here at NQ will check this out because if this is true, I hope it will have the opposite effect and cause even more people to go to these rallies and cheer for Hillary, as well as more to go to Denver to express our outrage there!

        I can’t believe this is happening in America!

What pride is there in supporting this man for President of the United States when he demonstrates his incompetence while still a candidate for the office?

    The funniest thing I heard on the radio yesterday was a guy on POTUS 08 saying that yes, the Chicago gun ban will face a court challenge due to the SC’s decision- but “it won’t happen till next year…”

    This guy could not have been serious. The Republicans will RUSH to file a suit against the Chicago gun ban before the election, of course. It won’t be decided or anything- the SCOTUS doesn’t come back into session until a month before the election- but the suit will be filed and will be getting media attention.

    The idea that the NRA would politely wait until next year so as not to unduly influence the presidential election…please!

    • Zeke

      The decision of the SCOTUS is essentially final. No bullshit from Chicago can do a thing. Federal supersedes state law in all matters pertaining to individual rights and therefore Chicago has no legal ground. They could fight it. Daley’s machinegun toting cops versus the 101st Airborne.

    The Supreme Court has spoken. There are people (I live in a rural area) who have spent their entire lives around guns. Many of my neighbors have them. A responsible adult will keep a gun locked up without bullets when not in use. Are all adults responsible enough to own a gun? No. That’s why the Court said states could regulate ownership.

    Do I own a gun? No. Can I shoot? Yes.

    Should I have the right to arm bears? Not according to Stephen Colbert.

    Sorry, this is OT but I have to ask. Why haven’t we seen or heard anything from Obama’s Grandmother? Why doesn’t anyone ever interview her? Isn’t it possible that she might have some answers concerning his birth certificate? Ive only seen one picture of her where she is hugging her darling grandson with great pride. I thought she might campaign for him. I have a yukky feeling that she is being watched and silenced. Again, why isn’t anyone looking for her; trying to talk with her; asking about her knowledge about his birth certificate?

      She isn’t talking because the duct tape makes it impossible to understand her. She doesn’t campaign for him because she’s always giving Obama’s big black security guy that “look.”

    OH, all the time–not just GOP men but GOP women too. I live in a bright-red county in a bright-blue state so if I want friends, some of them have to be Republicans! One of my closest friends is a true Bush-loving Limbaugh-listening conservative who’s always loathed Hillary but told me that when she saw HRC on O’Reilly she was deeply impressed by her brains and her toughness, and she told me the media treatment of Hillary had been horrendous. All of the GOP men I knew liked Hillary’s strength and brains even if they can’t stand her on any other count.

    My SO (who is a Republican also) put it best when he told me, “The thing about Republicans and Hillary is: We don’t like her. But we respect her.”

  • Alecki

    Obama is an embarrassment and has been very deceptive since the beginning of the primary season. Those that once supported him are wondering if he’s a wolf in sheep’s clothing. The Clinton supporters have know about his unfair tactics all along. With God’s help the Obamanuts will wake up?

    Obama has lied and changed his story repeatedly throughout this primary season.During the weeks of the Pastor Wright episode alone, Obama displayed a lack of credibility and character.

    1.)Obama lied repeatedly about his relationship with Reverend Wright and his church.
    Obam lied about what he knew, when he knew it, and majestically said he couldn’t disown Wright or his church, any more than he could disown his own grandmother or the entire black community.

    However, in the end, Obama disowned both Wright and his church when it became to his political advantage to do so

    The press actually praised his attempt to wriggle out from under the lies by giving a speech in Philadelphia.

    2.)Obama lied to the people of Ohio about his position on NAFTA

    3.) Obama misrepresented his position on Iraq which was revealed by one of his former foreign policies

    4.) Obama lied during the Florida and Michigan controversy, running on a campaign slogan that “voices must be heard”. Somehow the press minimized Obama doing everything he could to keep the voices in Florida and Michgian from counting. Again Obama was viewed as honorable by spitting on Michigan and Florida voters when it was simply to further his own personal ambitions.

    The press chose to ignore all this dishonesty and instead of holding Obama accountable, the press perceived him as a “winner”, his dishonesty meant nothing.

    5.) Then we had this great line from Obama’s Memorial Day speech, something Im sure even any comedian would envy:
    “On this Memorial Day, as our nation honors it’s unbroken line of fallen heroes, and I see many of them in the audience today…”

    Maybe now super delegates are starting to see why the majority of the party voted against him in the first place. Or did we forget that 18 million voters that saw through his web of deception and wanted Senator Clinton in the White House. An then we wonder why Clinton supporters kept using the term “drinking the Kool-Aid”.

    Hillary Clinton has not withdrawn her name as a candidate. She hasn’t released her delegates. Her campaign is suspended, not over. Obama’s actual pledged delegate lead over Clinton is only 1% And lets not forget that Hillary Clinton is the winner of the popular vote. Hopefully, the superdelegates and pledged delegates will wake up before the convention.

    Obama as the Democratic Presidential candidate has already become the bad joke that over 18 million people thought he would be. And it should be obvious by now that he is not going to leave anyone laughing when he loses in November.
