A forward received today!

“From the time Barack Obama was sworn in as a United State Senator, to the time he announced he was forming a Presidential exploratory committee, he logged 143 days of experience in the Senate. That’s how many days the Senate was actually in session and working.
After 143 days of work experience, Obama believed he was ready to be Commander In Chief, Leader of the Free World, and fill the shoes of Abraham Lincoln, FDR, JFK and Ronald Reagan. 143 days — I keep leftovers in my refrigerator longer than that.”

LOL at “slow achiever.” From what I have read, Obama sat in the Illinois legislature for 7 of the 8 years doing nothing…nada. Once Emil Jones decided Obama was the “next president”, he started handing Obama bills that others had worked on to give Obama some substance. This did not sit well with the peeps who actually worked on the bills, but they really didn’t buck the system. Obama was not well respected by his colleagues for this reason. I have to disagree with the crap talk about Obama having to work so hard for everything he got. He has just been one of those guys that has been “moved to the head of the class” all in the name of politics.

Obama was named Chairman of the Health and Human Services Committee in 1997(8?) but Public Act 91-0700, which was the bill resulting from this committee, only moved through the legislature in 2003, after Emil Jones Jr. began aggresively putting Obama’s name on legislation, and arm-twisting to get Obama’s legislative record all shined up for his federal senatorial campaign.

Obama’s Vice = Cindy Sheehan ROFL

This man makes me sick.

Obama hasn’t worked for shit except to see how many stupid people he can fool. I heard the same thing, he was put on a bunch of bills as a co-sponser that he didn’t do jack shit for, he’s lazy, votes present, pushes the wrong button, or just doesn’t show up. We’ll see how his followers spin this one. They’re interrupting their video games as we speak to get a new script.

Remember Obama saying this:

Sen. Obama has been downplaying the Iran threat, saying that they are just “a small country,” not like the Soviet Union.

Well now Obama’s senior foreign policy adviser Anthony Lake said in an interview:

“The most dangerous crisis we are going to face potentially in the next three to 10 years is if the Iranians get on the edge of developing a nuclear weapon,”

Now there is change we can believe in.

I can add a few more:-

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.

Now that was an interesting read. Thank you.

234 john on 07.02.08 at 4:06 pm Michelle Obama ’s Inferiority Complex….Good Read

by Dinesh D’Souza

Now that Barack Obama has pretty much wrapped up the nomination, it’s time to raise a question that lots of people have been talking about privately but not publicly. Is it possible that Michelle Obama is the force behind Barack Obama’s refusal to embrace traditional patriotic symbols? Could Obama’s wife be largely responsible for the candidate’s damaging associations with crackpot race-baiters like the Reverend Jeremiah Wright and the Reverend Michael Pfleger? In sum, could Obama’s wife be a large part of his political problem?
One might expect that the reaction of someone who gets so many privileges to be grateful to a society that makes them possible. But no. Michelle Obama thinks that her very success is an example of white oppression.

Obama calls on Americans to enlist

By Rick Maze – Staff writer
Posted : Wednesday Jul 2, 2008 16:50:18 EDT

COLORODO SPRINGS, Colo. — Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama included a pitch to enlist in the military in a speech here Wednesday about the need for Americans to be volunteers in all walks of life.

Speaking before an audience that included military veterans, families of current service members and at least one military officer in uniform, Obama said Americans expected a call to serve after the 9/11 terrorist attacks “but the call never came.”

Obama said he has met thousands of people who joined the military after 9/11, but the burden of serving the U.S. “has fallen exclusively … on the backs of people in the military and their families, even though they have not received the care and support they deserve.”

Part of Obama’s national security plan calls for a 65,000-person increase in the Army and a 27,000 increase in the Marine Corps.

“We need to ease the burden on our troops while meeting the challenges of the 21st Century,” he said. “That is why I will call on a new generation of Americans to join our military.”

But, in a related call that might diminish the number of people headed to military recruiters, Obama also said he wanted to increase the size of AmeriCorps, the program for domestic national service, to 250,000 people — a proposal that drew more applause than his call for military recruits from the audience at the campus of the University of Colorado-Colorado Springs. AmeriCorps has just 75,000 slots for volunteers today.

Obama also said that as president, he would try to ease the burden of military service, with his boost in personnel levels a key part of that plan.

“There is no challenge greater than the defense of our nation and our values,” he said.

“A call to service must be backed by a sacred trust with anyone who puts on the uniform of the United States,” he said. “A young person joining our military must know that we will only send them into harm’s way when we absolutely must,” he said.

Obama pledged that “we will provide them with the equipment needed to complete their mission safely, and deployments that allow adequate time back home. They must see that we will care for our military families while they are deployed and that we are providing our veterans with the support, benefits and opportunity that they have earned when they return home.”

The FACT, Obama did have an active and key role in the passing of the legislation to extend health care to wounded veterans. Just because he missed the final vote when the bill was sure to pass doesn’t mean that he had no role in its passage.

http://www.dailykos.com/story/2008/6/21/11914/2500/451/539570

Hillary Clinton firmly backs Obama as does Bill Clinton.

They are not sore losers. Hillary and Bill not only have class they have brains.

good job harp

i always love ur efforts…keep it up

Exactly!
If you can call bamboozling “dignity”, then you can call dirty air “clean air” and deforesting “healty forest initiative”. Oh wait, the Bush people have already done that! Obama and AxelRove are totally Orwellian!

He sure is free and easy with OUR money.

Obama also claims to have passed tax cuts for workers. Only trouble is that Obama was one of 43 co-sponsors of the legislation. And the record for Illinois Public Act 91-0700 contains no references to his active participation in either crafting the bill or arguing for it’s passage in any other way than voting for it. But geez he sure was Dignified actually taking the time out from his busy schedule to vote.

Oh really?

Lisa Madigan says otherwise in Senate transcripts from 4/14:

Senator Obama has been one of the leaders on this

Obama also gives a lengthy speech on bill particulars on April 4.

….and none of this gets into any committee work, which is where the meat of ILGA legislative work is done.

$7/hr

how is that working out for ya??
BTW— were not u guys at dailyhate–wishing death for hillary ,calling her racist,and all that stuff that we can,t even think of

No more sense of direction than a bunch of firecrackers.

I’m not paid – where does one obtain such pay from? I know the McCain campaign is paying for pretend Hillary supporters – you can find it on his website. So how much is this site paid?

SO how much did you donated to the Obama camp, since you are such a big supporter?

Better than copying from some wingnuts. Anyway you asked what has Obama done.

Beautiful Sonia!

MSN is going to have to start paying attention to us PUMA’s sooner or later, so will the DNC.

Ohhh, lets keep our fingers crossed that divine interference will occur and the candidate with the experience, the courage, the intelligence, the ability to unify and inspire will be nominated to run for POTUS. HILLARY RODHAM CLINTON!

PUMA

I have a capture of the screen shot of the ad when it included the bill for veterans if any one is interested.

http://dakiniland.wordpress.com/2008/06/24/the-audacity-of-lies/

I don’t get this…what in the hell is the matter w the National Anthem that it has to be sang as the Black National Anthem?? The regular one isn’t good enough for blacks? These types of things separate them from society and they are doing it to themselves

“The ad touts his leadership when he passed a law that moved people from welfare to work. It goes on to state that his leadership slashed the welfare rolls by 80 percent. Now here is where the trouble starts. Barky took credit for enforcing a federal law that he admitted he wouldn’t have supported to begin with. His exact words were:

Illinois Senate Transcript

I probably would not have supported the federal legislation, because I think it has some problems.”

Based on the date of this legislation from the NRO article, I am thinking that the federal legislation in question would have been President Bill Clinton’s reform of welfare during his second term.

What irony. What balls!!!!!! Now Obama is taking credit for President Clinton’s reform of welfare. The man has no shame.

Part of Obama’s national security plan calls for a 65,000-person increase in the Army and a 27,000 increase in the Marine Corps.

You think that’s not a good idea?

Bush’s War in Iraq has pushed our military to the breaking point. The administration has been using stop-loss rules to hold soldiers who have already served out their full terms of enlistment beyond the time they signed on to serve. 58,300 soldiers have been involuntarily held beyond the ends of their terms of enlistment. These guys aren’t going to be reenlisting after that sort of treatment.

Who’s supposed to replace them?

Sweetie, please log out, empty your poop bucket and turn in your punch card.

Love,

Obama

yea, I bet those bots are going to line up for that!!

The Best of Obama–both pages in full color and profusely illustrated. Hahaha

I can not, I am from the UK; however a number of friends helped the Democrats at the last election and I recognised what happened to the Kerry campaign. I am doing my bit to correct those who may by accident stray on to sites filled by bigots and Repubican trolls during this election.

what grade are you in? this isn’t about being a sore loser it’s about electing someone fit to be President. Obama isn’t. Much as I like the Clintons I don’t vote for who they want, I vote for who I want.

A little off topic, but very distressing. I thought I would do some research, and I found on the Obama site, to work the phone bank, you only have to be 13 years old: Not only unsafe, but unsound. Also the calls are not payed for. Could be some big problems for unsupervised calling.

How old do I have to be to call?
You must be at least 13 years of age to make calls using the online calling tool.

6. Do I pay for the calls I make?
Volunteer callers using the online calling tool pay for their own calls. The campaign cannot reimburse you for the calls you make. Many callers take advantage of free cell phone minutes on evenings and/or weekends to make calls.

Source:As follows;
my.barackobama.com/page/content/callquestions

This is the current phone bank ad

Grow the movement for Barack in Ohio

Call voters in Ohio to ask what issues are most important to them. Once you have identified a supporter, invite them to volunteer in their neighborhood.

Can you imagine a 13 year old doing this??

that’s really irresponsible. They should tell people they have to be at least voting age. What does that tell you about Obama’s support? Just as we said…Kool Aid drinkers.

Somewhere MEchelle and Barack are crying tears of joy.

where did this happen?? things like this happen all the time and they don’t do jack to these crazy ass people!! their victims are scarred for life.

13-year olds? Sounds like indoctrination to me. Those little brown shirts are so becoming.

LOL. Don’t forget Rezko.

This is from the Obama page, this is the age requirement for phone bank callers.

And our children, apparently.

Bots always forget the little things, huh?

You’d better go back to the drawing board, because you are ineffective.

Obama is pulling the biggest con job in the history of politics. Obama’s advisors recognized that a black man without any real record would be easy to market.

1. A strong base of black and white guilt voters.
2. Ability to apply the race card for increased advantage.
3. Use a campaign slogan of “change” but don’t try to define it, instead just leave it to people to reiterate and let them believe it to mean all things that are good in their own minds.
4. Claim Obama’s lack of experience is the only way they can have their “change” since experience is a bad thing.
5. Without much of a record it will be difficult to criticize Obama on anything yet Obama is open to criticize others who have been around.

Why is Obama bouncing all over the place on issues? Obama is not making these decisions, his advisors are. They are instructing him daily on what positions to take based on what they feel he needs to say to get elected which is the only thing they care about. They don’t care about this country, it is all about pulling off a con.

Who really trusts Obama and what does he really believe? One must evaluate Obama prior to this sham of a marketing campaign. Obama selected, stayed and defended for 20 years, and had to be dragged out by his marketers of a racist, anti-American, black liberation theology church. This we know about Obama’s beliefs and that in itself is more than ample reason to completely reject Obama.

We are Americans First. I am a on the right. If
Hillary was running I would never blog. I respect her. I know she loves America. Every one can have different solutions to different problems as long as they love this country.
I am righter than McCain, but I dont follow lockstep. I believe in health care for everyone.

We don’t need or want people that don’t live in
this country to comment. I don’t go on UK blogs

You are an idiot

LOL…Oh my…

$341.4 million a day on the War in Iraq. McCain would continue it.

Bush has doubled the national debt in 7 1/2 years, running up more debt than all previous presidential administrations combined. McCain has no plan to fix this. Instead, he would make the Bush tax cuts to the wealthy permanent.

Who’s free and easy with our money?

draft, draft, draft!

funny how that notion shuts up a lot of Obama supporters — who are in their prime draft-age!

who me? blogging sure looks better than fighting in Iran, Pakistan…

UPDATE: JULY 2, 2008: Obama has removed this portion of his padded resume from the ad.

I’ve been to war, thank you very much. And I was a volunteer.

So ou had friends who live in the country and your insight came from those friends. In another word, you know not thing about this country other than the crap you read or hear from the MSM. I had at least vote against Bush twice and Voted for that sorry piece Nancy Puck. Who are you to come hear mouthing off people who had a right to choose a president. Do we tell you brits who to elect?

You are unlikely to see the truth. A politician that sell themself as new politic, but turn out to be same old is the worst kind. He did this to get the nomination, which pushed out the real qualified candidate. That’s unacceptable in any term. All his policies are stolen from the other. He had no idea waht needs to be done. He trash the the US constitution just the first month after the primary. For some of US that mean something. Why els would I move to this country and serve in the arm forces before I was a citizen? If a liar is better then your beyond hope. What part of the world had you seen? How do you know what the world need? A lot of what’s said it’s the truth. The black did voted for hjim base on color. I don’t think they were wrong in doing so, but for people like you to come here and post your B.S. is just too much. I know how to play the race card as well as anyone back in younger days. I no longer see that as acceptable now. So take your racist card and stay out of our business.

OMG Obama gets truckloads of money from overseas. Pony Up UK. Put your pounds were your mouth is. Rumor has it your guy’s cash is drying up…he needs you!!!

Better by Juxtaposition
An Obama presidency would rescue the Bush legacy.

http://article.nationalreview.com/?q=ODczZTA5ZjJlMTVjZDM5OTNlMmIzYzk0NjIwMjE0NWM=&w=MA==

Now that’s funny … or not if you support Obama.

Would you Obamabutts please get your story straight as to the Clintons. You’re saying they have both class and brains, then five minutes later one of your idiots-in-arms will come on here saying what terrible people they are.

Either way, you can save yourselves a lot of time and trouble. We respect Bill and Hillary Clinton, and unlike yours, our respect for them is genuine. But we will never vote for such an unqualified, lying loser as Barack Obama for any office, much less the Presidency.

But since you think we are sore losers, next November we’ll be looking at your Dear Leader and all you Obamabutts to show us how to endure with real class that terribly humiliating and excruciatingly embarrassing ass-kicking in store for him at the hands of John McCain.

And stop embarrassing yourself by citing stuff over at the Big Orange Head as proof of anything.

It looks like many a blogger who supported Obama with their time and $$ are having a serious case of buyer’s remorse. Well, that’s what happens when you allow yourself to be wooed with teleprompter-aided fancy but empty words and meaningless bumpersticker slogans like “hope” and “change. After being mean to Hillary, some of these gullibles are only discovering that their emperor is as naked as a newborn infant…..

“How Obama lost my support

Dear Mr. Burton,

I am very saddened by this recent turn of position by Barack Obama on the matter of amnesty for the telecommunications violation of the law in their complicity with the Bush administrations illegal wiretapping orders.

These are your words, Mr. Burton:

“To be clear: Barack will support a filibuster of any bill that includes retroactive immunity for telecommunications companies.”

These are Senator Obama’s words from last January:

“I strongly oppose retroactive immunity in the FISA bill.

Ever since 9/11, this Administration has put forward a false choice between the liberties we cherish and the security we demand.

The FISA court works. The separation of power works. We can trace, track down and take out terrorists while ensuring that our actions are subject to vigorous oversight, and do not undermine the very laws and freedom that we are fighting to defend….

‘I am not so naive as to think that Senator Obama would not shift his positions on important issues, all politicians do that. But on a matter of such grave importance as defending the Constitution, and holding accountable those who would harm it, there is no room for compromise.

As someone who volunteered to the campaign many, many hours and money I could ill afford to give up, all because I trusted that Barack Obama was the one true candidate who was different from all the rest, it is heartbreaking to see that he is indeed just like all the rest. The only change I see coming from Barack Obama now is a change in his attitude towards those of us who worked so hard to help him win the Democratic nomination. It is painfully clear to me that we were used up and are now being hung out to dry.

I can no longer volunteer my support, nor donate any more of my time or money to Obama’s campaign. I cannot in good conscience support any candidate who could be so cravenly dishonest on such an important matter.

Take note of this, Mr. Burton: When someone who has been so committed to supporting Barack Obama withdraws that support over this FISA compromise issue, imagine what might happen with all of the undecided voters who are concerned about this issue.’

Sincerely,
James “Jake” Barlow

You never answered my question.. why are you not working hard for a Asian prime minister. why are you blogging here?? You understanding of U.S politics is cartoonish. it is only what they report on BBC. PLEASE LEAVE US ALONE!!!

OMG Obama gets truckloads of money from overseas. Pony Up UK. Put your pounds were your mouth is. Rumor has it your guy’s cash is drying up…he needs you!!!

International donations are illegal – but do not worry my American family are giving. The candidate you claim to have supported needs some money though and Obama is helping her to get it.

Actually, I believe the draft is a very good idea. It makes us a lot more careful about the wars we get ourselves into.

If you consciencously oppose military service, there should be a national service option. Everybody. No exceptions. Rich and poor alike.

Have you watched the BBC? It is like taking a picture and then drawing it in crayon, that is why this idiot keeps posting here. he believes the KKK is behind every tree in this country.

Sorry you don’t get to “conscientiously oppose military service” Any type of national military lottery puts all our butts on the line. No exceptions.

Which quarter? Would that be No Quarter?

“Remember that I said Hillary suspended her campaign? If Obama moves too far from the left of center, there could be some rumblings from that quarter.”

– Dick Morris on Fox News just now

Note: That isn’t an exact quote because I can’t type that fast but it’s a summary nonetheless.

Great List, Sonia. Thanks!

From ABC’s blog Political Radar

The shift in Obama’s rhetoric on welfare reform has proceeded in stages. When former President Bill Clinton was poised to sign welfare reform while running for re-election in 1996, Obama called it “disturbing.” A decade later, as an underdog running for president against Clinton’s wife, he spent 2007 avoiding the subject. By the time Obama emerged as the Democratic frontrunner in the spring of 2008, he began leaving the impression that he was for it all along.

During a 1996 interview with the Cleveland Plain Dealer, Obama could not conceal his disappointment in his fellow Democrat. “Bill Clinton? Well, his campaign’s fascinating to a student of politics. It’s disturbing to someone who cares about certain issues. But politically, it seems to be working,” said Obama.

You can always vote for Nader as a protest vote.

Finally, an Obama supporter who did some research. Great. You must be able to clarify.
Please explain Sen. Obama’s yes vote on the Cheney energy bill.
Also, has Sen O ever done anything to get to bottom of those ever so secret Cheney Energy meetings? Those Cheney planning sessions where we at least know Ken Lay made an appearance. Now, that would have said something. … No, he didn’t?
Has the Junior Sen. flipped back on FISA yet? Which way is that wind a blowin?
Please. This candidacy was scripted from the get go.
Right down to the coronation on the MLK anniversary. That will jive with the phony UNITY thing and the phony Independence, MO speech coming up.
It is Howard’s dream campaign…. the one he “yah heed” away 4 years ago…
or perhaps it’s the revived dream of John Kerry and his retaliation for those Swift boaters…or maybe it’s …nevermind. A waste of two finger typing.

I was part of the lottery. If the bots think it`s a good idea, I can regale them of a few drawbacks to that notion. Of course I`m sure they will all run and sign up ,now that the ONE has authorized it.

Yeah, but George Lucas thinks he is a Jedi Knight.
Seriously.

The country has gone nuts.

Do your BIT somewhere else.

You never answered my question.. why are you not working hard for a Asian prime minister. why are you blogging here?? You understanding of U.S politics is cartoonish. it is only what they report on BBC. PLEASE LEAVE US ALONE!!!

I find the BBC to be relatively poor reporters, however they are better than CNN, FOX, MSNBC. I use google news and therefore obtain stories from numerous sites. With regard to US politics, I have had a semi-detatched relationship from when I first joined the UK Conservative Party, 20 years ago. So although I do not claim to know very much, I think can be afforded acceptance that I know more than the basics.

He doesn’t get to call Americans to service when he:
1. Won’t pledge his allegiance to my country
2. Most likely refused to register for selective service
3. NEVER SERVED!!!

He is not the only Democrat to “hold the feet to the fire” on FISA and I doubt Hillary would have done any different. One thing may shock you lot – I agree with you about Pelosi. Her failure to move on impeachment is a snub to the hundreds of thousands of Iraqis, the 4000 US Soldiers and the 1000 UK Soldiers who died in a needless war. A war that has resulted in us losing Afghanistan – a war with a point.

FISA is constitutionally wrong and a bad legal precedent not just for the US but for the World. So I fully back Feingold attempting to filibuster and if Mr Johnson wants to back security then he should be encouraging Feingold on this. (Will there be a positive blog on this site?)

What is not needed is another Repubican President who will continue this fake and dangerous abuse of civil liberties, enthusiastically copied here, on the basis of some false terrorist fear.

The Honorable Barack Obama
United States Senate
SH-713
Washington, DC 20510

Dear Senator Obama:

I would like to apologize to you for assuming that your private assurances to me regarding your desire to cooperate in our efforts to negotiate bipartisan lobbying reform legislation were sincere. When you approached me and insisted that despite your leadership’s preference to use the issue to gain a political advantage in the 2006 elections, you were personally committed to achieving a result that would reflect credit on the entire Senate and offer the country a better example of political leadership, I concluded your professed concern for the institution and the public interest was genuine and admirable. Thank you for disabusing me of such notions with your letter to me dated February 2, 2006, which explained your decision to withdraw from our bipartisan discussions. I’m embarrassed to admit that after all these years in politics I failed to interpret your previous assurances as typical rhetorical gloss routinely used in politics to make self-interested partisan posturing appear more noble. Again, sorry for the confusion, but please be assured I won’t make the same mistake again.

As you know, the Majority Leader has asked Chairman Collins to hold hearings and mark up a bill for floor consideration in early March. I fully support such timely action and I am confident that, together with Senator Lieberman, the Committee on Governmental Affairs will report out a meaningful, bipartisan bill.

You commented in your letter about my “interest in creating a task force to further study” this issue, as if to suggest I support delaying the consideration of much-needed reforms rather than allowing the committees of jurisdiction to hold hearings on the matter. Nothing could be further from the truth. The timely findings of a bipartisan working group could be very helpful to the committee in formulating legislation that will be reported to the full Senate. Since you are new to the Senate, you may not be aware of the fact that I have always supported fully the regular committee and legislative process in the Senate, and routinely urge Committee Chairmen to hold hearings on important issues. In fact, I urged Senator Collins to schedule a hearing upon the Senate’s return in January.

Furthermore, I have consistently maintained that any lobbying reform proposal be bipartisan. The bill Senators Joe Lieberman and Bill Nelson and I have introduced is evidence of that commitment as is my insistence that members of both parties be included in meetings to develop the legislation that will ultimately be considered on the Senate floor. As I explained in a recent letter to Senator Reid, and have publicly said many times, the American people do not see this as just a Republican problem or just a Democratic problem. They see it as yet another run-of-the-mill Washington scandal, and they expect it will generate just another round of partisan gamesmanship and posturing. Senator Lieberman and I, and many other members of this body, hope to exceed the public’s low expectations. We view this as an opportunity to bring transparency and accountability to the Congress, and, most importantly, to show the public that both parties will work together to address our failings.

As I noted, I initially believed you shared that goal. But I understand how important the opportunity to lead your party’s effort to exploit this issue must seem to a freshman Senator, and I hold no hard feelings over your earlier disingenuousness. Again, I have been around long enough to appreciate that in politics the public interest isn’t always a priority for every one of us. Good luck to you, Senator.

Sincerely,

John McCain
United States Senate

As for the Cheyney Energy bill – how about £1.8 billion going to clean coal – which would have significantly benefitted Illinois (given he harks from there that would not be an unreasonable position to take on what is yes a bad bill)

Do you honestly think that Obama is going to end the occupation in Iraq? If you do, you have absolutely no basis for that belief. Hell, he’s not even planning to withdraw those pricy Blackwater troops any time soon. And he’s even more bellicose than McCain is about Afghanistan — insisting that we can actually finish that job and win the war on terror over there.

I’m sorry, but if you’re looking for a peace dividend, you’re not going to get one with Obama as president.

isn’t it also true that all his accomplishments in the ILL state senate came in his last year there when the dems took control of the senate and the senate leader GAVE Obama all the important legislation to put his name on, taking it away from the legislators who actually had worked on it, in an effort to give Obama a record to run for the US Seante on?

Dick Morris is a few donuts short of a dozen.

Obama wants more faith based programs. He wants an employer to be able to hire and fire based on Religion. Thats a change from 2008 to 1933.

annie — This why I will vote for McCain — he spent 26 years in the Senate. There is nothing new about Obama — just another fraud who thinks he’s a Messiah.

patti — when Dick Morris speaks I keep thinking he is going to spit all over my TV Screen.

Obama Is A Bum — There is an old song which says it very well.

How can I believe you when you say you love me when you know I’m been a liar all the time–

Who approved that? How did Obama vote on all of that?

wodiej — thats awful — With the language they use here. I am amazed. Do they get paid to make their calls? 13 OMG

Rather than “doing your bit” helping us out here, you should be home practicing your Arabic and learning which way is east. At the rate England is going in 10 years it will be under Sharia law and all the women will be wearing burqua’s.

Amen, James. One of the sadest think about Nam, was that there was an education loophole in the draft. In college, like Cheney? Okay, you don’t have to go. So guess who is treating Nam vets at the VA facilities??? The profesionals that were in school while the draftees fought the war. Let’s not turn the page. let’s learn from the past.

Freakin’ great article!! Love it!

And that’s Unity.

Mouse, this is not funny. I like Cindy and I detest Obama.

Actually, Pagan Power, you are too generous in your assessment of Barky’s legislative prowess. Media Matters offers this with regard to his “expansion” of the CHIP program.

In 2003, Obama sponsored a bill that expanded eligibility for KidCare and FamilyCare by amending “the Children’s Health Insurance Program Act to provide that a child with a household income of 200%, rather than 185%, of the federal poverty level is eligible to participate in the Program.” The House version of the bill was sponsored by state Rep. Sandra Pihos, a Republican. On July 1, 2003, Illinois Gov. Ron Blagojevich (D) signed the bill into law. During both his 2004 U.S. Senate campaign and his current presidential campaign, Obama has repeatedly highlighted his sponsorship of the bill, often saying that he “expanded health care to 150,000 children and their parents in Illinois.” According to enrollment statistics provided by the Kaiser Foundation, the two programs expanded enrollment by more than 150,000. From a September 25, 2007, analysis of a recent Obama campaign advertisement by PolitiFact, a project of the St. Petersburg Times and Congressional Quarterly:

After the new law passed, both programs saw sizable increases in enrollment. Children’s enrollment increased by 55,421 between 2003 and 2005, according to a study from the Henry J. Kaiser Family Foundation. Adult enrollment increased by 100,458 between 2003 and 2006. That comes to a total of 155,879. So after Obama’s legislation passed, more than 150,000 people did

Why don’t you get involved in your country’s politics instead of meddling in ours. Since you don’t live here you only have an outsider’s view of what is really happening here. Most of us aren’t really interested in those views and prefer you would keep them to yourself. Or maybe Chuck and Cam would be interested in them.

To UK
More than the basics in your country and your party. Leave us alone – we don’t like you. And why didn’t you keep Tony out of Iraq by the by, instead of letting him buddy up to George?

The Lugar bill??? A bill SO controversial that it was passed by a voice vote? Wow, that’s something!

Yes, damn it why does Barack Obama keep voting to fund the Iraq war with our tax dollars!!

But Bill and Hillary Clinton are racists! I would never take their advice…they are racists and they wanted Barack to be assassinated! Barack told us so and he would never lie to us.

That is pretty amazing that they are trying to get quite young kids for this job. Very few places will hire a kid until they are 16. I know they are using these kids as volunteers, but still a little common sense would tell them that they should not be doing this.

i don’t claim to be a hillary supporter…i am. i have supported her, campaigned for her, called for her, canvassed for her, and donated to her.

i am now supporting mccain, who, like hillary, has integrity and experience and loves this country.

why don’t you support your own candidates in your own country and stay out of our business?

PUMA

Nope – you are wrong. the hiring based on religion is NOT a part – must be excluded from his program.

This is part of the news today, Hope Mccain sees this.

Nice try. We remember what happened the last time.

Democrats.com are keeping their money in ESCROW to force Obama to stop swinging to the right.

Yep, he’s a fraud. He has no core…just ambition. Narcissists are people whose psyches are injured at a young age…as Obama’s was when his parents abandoned him.

Give me a break. A few weeks ago, you morons were calling Hillary and Bill racists and said that Hillary wanted barky assasinated. That Hillary is the most corrupt politician since Bill, that the 90′s were terrible, blah, blah, blah and NOW you want us to believe that you respect both Bill and Hil? Fuck off and die. Hillary is doing what she needs to do to run in 2012, after Mccain wipes the floor with your little coke head pisher.

Speaking about loss of civil liberties, how are all those Muslim no-go areas in the Midlands?

Michele also called him “sweet and pathetic” on the View.

What has obama done for americans lately?
he has used race to win primaries
he has trashed clintons.
he has divided the dems.
he has insulted women“sweetie“
he has showed us “what arrogant means=obama“
he has told us true meanings of SNOB,ELITIST,S*XIST,RACIST,SAME OLD POLITCIAN with brand new copied speeches
he has shown us that its okay to copy speeches
he has shown us “how to flip flop effectively
he has shown us “how to make MSM his pet and keep them in his pocket `where his phone vibrates
ha has shown us “why some americans r bitter “
he has shown us what `a typical white person looks like
he has shown us his greatest racist ever priests and friends
he has shown us ——NO MORALS,NO VALUES,NO PRINCIPLES,NO CHARACTER,NO CLASS……

He has shown us that Bush has nothin on him as far as stealing and rigging elections go.

Man, he really has some nerve telling people to enlist. This is not only galling but it’s boneheaded on so many levels:

1. We need to talk about ways to STOP fighting endless wars all over the g.d. world–not how many of our soldiers we’d like to see slaughtered in the next few years to show the world what a**hole bullies we can be.

2. HE NEVER FREAKIN SERVED a day in the military. I can guaran-damn-tee you this is going to piss off a LOT of military people who don’t take kindly to being lectured about “service” by people who never served in uniform. (I never did and I’m good and sick of his constant moralizing and preaching. I can only imagine their reaction.)

3. Like his pampered, snobbish supporters have ANY intention of signing up. That’s strictly for the gun-toting racist hicks, not them!

All we get from BO is religious proselytizing, shredding of the constitution, and endless war. Hmmm…sound familiar?
