Enough Already

I haven’t posted in a while because quite frankly I haven’t had anything to contribute since the DNC “resolved” the Michigan and Florida mess. But today I’ve been smoked out of my undisclosed location because I just can’t take it anymore.

At issue: This week’s New Yorker cover.

Honestly, is this what we’ve come to? Is this the most important issue the press has to focus on in this campaign? Is this really worth all the faux agita and high dudgeon it’s stirred up?

Just to be clear, here’s what I care about.

Two years ago my then-husband talked me into buying a house. I did so and took out a traditional 30-year mortgage. Thank God I wasn’t talked into one of those goofy ARMs.

Last fall I put the house on the market. No takers. I’ve reduced the price $50,000 and thrown in every conceivable goodie imagineable. No dice. Even if I rent the place I’d still be about $800 per month in the hole. In the meantime, as I wait for this house to move half my take-home pay – that’s half – is going to pay the mortgage. And that doesn’t count the money I’m sinking into the house to entice a buyer – landscaping, repairs, etc. Just to be clear, the house is located Montgomery County, a decent suburb of D.C. It’s close to shopping and public transportation. It’s a great deal at the price it’s listed for. But I can’t give the damn thing away.

I’m sure that there are a lot of people in my position.

I’m concerned about whether the Bush administration’s meddling could cause Pakistan’s government to fall. I’m also concerned about whether the same crowd that brought us the Iraq war could embark on a demented mission in Iran as an au revoir to the country. Hey, there’s still plenty of time. The Bush people could do a lot of damage between now and January.

So pardon me for not giving a damn about what the New Yorker wants to feature on its cover. Some of us have more important things to worry about.

Now let’s take a stroll down memory lane and take a look at Joe Scarborough giving Hillary Clinton some love:

    Good to see a Hillary supporter with her head in the right place.

    There’s only one way to solve the problems your talking about, and ensure that Bush only has 6 more months to promote his agenda – not 8 more years.

    Vote Hope.

    • anonymous

      Hillary or McCain. Never Obama.

      Go PUMA!

      • Sk8Boy

        That makes sense.

        Say goodbye to Hillary getting any bills passed in the Senate regarding Health Care, Civil Liberties, Women’s Rights, or any of the countless issues she has been fighting for her entire life with another conservative President.

        Country before Candidate.

        • anonymous

          Hillary will have her agenda if we nominate her and she becomes president. If not, sorry, country does come before Hillary’s goals.

          • anonymous

            And Obama just acted anti civil liberties on the FISA flip-flop so your point is meaningless.

            • Jane

              Huh?? Obama acted civil liberties…? Huh? This post doesnt even make sense.

            • Trev

              No, you pathetic moron, he voted AGAINST civil liberties. He voted in FAVOR of the communications companies who had been tapping our phones. Some people believe that domestic wire-tapping violates our civil liberties, see and your guy voted against civil liberties.

              Their is no nominee until the convention and the delegates can change their minds. I would be worried about that if I was a troll.

              • Jon

                Keep dreaming.

                Hillary wouldn’t accept the nomination even if somehow you guys convinced enough delegates to switch (which you can’t).

                It would destroy the party, and in doing so destroy the country. Hillary’s behind Barack 100%.

                And whether you choose to accept or not, this little group you’ve got here is a tiny percentage of Hillary “supporters” and not enough to actually make a difference in the election.

                You don’t represent nearly as many voters as you like to think.

                • standard

                  Huh?
                  Destroy the party?

                  It’s already destroyed, isn’t it?

                  HAHAHAHA funny, you sad pathetic little person, you must have been educated with your sugar pops cereal box. Hillary is a Democratic Senator, she has to toe the party line – WE DONT!!

                  So you can whine and cry and whimper and scream for us to ‘get over it’ just like rapists usually do, but that isnt going to work, so why not march on back to DailyKos and wipe away your tears for Baracky and leave us alone.

            • catherine

              She lost according to who? The DNC? She won the popular vote AND the elctorial vote. She did not lose. Obama was selected by the DNC. I and many others WILL NOT get over it. Our democracy is at stake.

            • Northwest rain

              Clinton DID NOT LOSE.

              Clinton won all the states necessary to win the GE — Obama is the one who LOST.

              Obama is the loser — he lost the popular vote and he lost California, Florida, Michigan (the voters of FL & MI got screwed by the DNC/Donna racist Brazile etc) Obama also lost Texas — the primary vote, he lost NJ, Mass, NH, Ohio, Pennsylvania etc etc.

              Obama only won the states that don’t count in the GE because they are solid RED states.

              Obama gamed the caucus states —

              Obama is a lying, cheating, flip flopping, inadequate, narcissistic, misogynistic, sexist pig.

              So no Obama did not win fair and square — he LOST. Why don’t you Obamabots get over it and go play on one of the many Orange stain websites where you idiots love to tell each other lies.

              At NQ we want the truth and facts.

              We also have 18 million FACTs that you Obamabutts don’t have.

              So get over it — you guys chose the loser — who still has not shown his REAL valid birth certificate — he name is probably Barry Dunham. Why not get used to Barry’s real name?

              SHE LOST.

              FAIR AND SQUARE SHE LOST

              THE SUPERDELEGATES AND VOTERS CHOSE OBAMA

              GET OVER IT

              The votes cast during the primaries were for delegates to represent the will of the voters at the Democratic Convention in Denver. The actual votes for the candidates are not cast until the convention. If the DNC does not change the rules the delegates will have the opportunity to cast their votes and then the superdelegates will be able to cancel out the votes they don’t agree with.
              In short, Hillary did not lose, the votes have not been cast and I will not get over it (what ever IT is)!

            • mimi

              “FAIR and SQUARE” are 2 words that should never be uttered in the same sentence as the Democratic Presidential Primary in 2008.

      • JozefAL

        I’ve already decided that I’m voting for the sensible African-American candidate, the one whose positions have stayed consistent, even on Iraq, from the onset. Now, granted this candidate has their own fair share of “radical nutcases” who’ve spouted inane comments, but my candidate certainly has never disowned the most influential one.
        My candidate is Cynthia McKinney (of the Green Party). Yes, she’s had to deal with a real nutjob who’s frequently made her life difficult by spouting all sorts of nonsense, but what can she do? She’s never thrown anyone under the bus to advance her career, much less her own father.
        You can argue that McKinney may be less feasible than Obama, but I put forth the fact that she honestly has remained steadfast in her beliefs, never wavering just because those beliefs have made her unpopular. Given Obama’s recent flip-flopping on almost everything, I certainly can’t see him standing up, directly accusing Bush of covering up 9/11.
        Now, let’s watch the Obama trolls try pulling the “race” card on my support for McKinney. McKinney’s from GEORGIA. She knows REAL racists and racism, not this faux-racism that the Obama camp has been flinging at people because they dare oppose the Anointed One.

    • no waffles aka drkate

        And McCain is not a sexist mysogynist?? NARAL gave him a big, fat ZERO. He wants to OVERTURN Roe v Wade! He wants to ban all sex education except abstinance! He opposes all forms of civil unions or allowing lesbians and gays to serve in the military! Whatever one’s criticisms of Obama are, let’s be honest and speak with intelligence and logic, not emotions. Anyone who believes in Clinton’s progessive vision would have to be just as (if not more) critical of McCain as they are of Obama.

      I HOPE Barackster doesnt become able to wreak havoc on the US.

      Kool Aid People, wake up and smell the defrosting wedding cake, Obama has made so many 180 degree turns lately he’s all discombobulated. He’s wack-jawed on so many issues no one knows for sure what he will do and what his beliefs are (besides that of being “BO-1st before everyone else”), therefore, you will indeed get change if you vote for the Barackster. You will get an even more unwelcome surprise than GWB was for so many other Kool Aid People eight and then again four years ago (Yeah, America is full of the KOOLAID Blow some more smoke up my petootie people.) The CHANGE you seek should not be one of mass neglect for real issues, social programs that have no real economic planning that are pretty much destined to failure before they begin since BO doesnt have a clue what he is doing. (If you were interested in real social programs with some real analysis behind them then you should have voted for Hillary Clinton.)
      The only real CHANGE you will see is that many other countries who consider us enemies currently will be rejoicing at the easy pickins the US will be destined to present with BO not leading at the leadership position. If you want to get a look for yourself and stop hanging on the party train of hallucinogenic malperception, then go and LOOK UP HIS SENATORIAL RECORD. It is clear that Barack Obama is for the kind of change that promotes Barky himself, he doesnt give a hang about you or me.

          Thanks for bringing credibility to your cause.

          • anonymous

            Here is a major credibility issue for you that I posted on another thread:

            Larry is someone here going to tie together the single mom comment with the birth certificate issue?

            His own mother, she said at the beginning of her remarks, was “very young and very single when she had him.” And, Obama added, he has observed his wife’s attempts to reconcile motherhood with her career aspirations.

            Barack Obama panics: Andy Martin’s book forces Obama to admit he is illegitimate

            “Obama knew we were working the ‘illegitimate’ story, and we were preparing a series of news conferences in conjunction with my book Obama: The Man Behind The Mask,” Martin will state. “The Obama campaign also knew we were planning a lawsuit over his illegitimate birth. So they tried to use Obama’s wife to do damage control. It was one of the most cowardly gestures in American political history.

            Is this why the original birth certificate has not been released? Is Obama even legally eligible to be president?

            • Clinton Fan

              If the illigitimate Barry Dunham was born in Hawaii, he’s “legally eligible” to be President.

              However, if the scenario you postulate, above, proves to be the case, it completely fucks up the dramatic pieces of the foundation of his candidacy.

              POOOF, go the “Dreams of his Father.” His father would be painted as a Knock ‘Em Up And Dump ‘Em asshole. He is already painted as a No Child Support Muthafucka. Deservedly, too.

              POOOF, go the AFRICAN PRIDE themes. Who but an idiot identifies with the person who disrespected, dumped, used, and abandoned… YOUR MOTHER? Unless you’re a total tool, that is.

              POOOF, goes that Exotic Name. Barry Dunham, anyone? When he said he wanted to be called BARACK, did he also mean he wanted to change his name to Obama as well?

              The people who want to pile on with “Little Bastard” comments will, like it or not, do so. I don’t think that’s terribly important.

              I do, though, think it’s important for a President to come to terms with HIS OWN HISTORY. Because if he doesn’t, then how the hell is expected to come to terms with the history of our great, glorious, yet certainly imperfect union that is the USA?

          • IndigoGrrl

      “because Hillary says so” LOL! What a bunch of sheep you are. We, like Hillary, think for ourselves, and she would respect us for it. She is not interested in being a mindless cult leader. She is a true leader, based on actual civil liberties and core Democratic principles based in history. That includes freedom of expression and the right to choose independently in the voting booth.

  • elizinsandi

    Respectful of your position, my take on the cartoon is that it has flushed out Obama’s lack of self-confidence as his constant cries of “Unfair!” show more importance than the actual image.

    What kinds of progress can we really EXPECT on the issues of economics or the war in Iraq and Afganistan can be made with somebody with such inexperience and weak character demonstrated in the presumptive nominee?

    Most candidates..ones that had an ice cube’s chance in he** of success would laugh and brush that sort of thing off. The fact that he doesn’t, means he can’t rule…not tough enough.

    HILLARY ON THE ROLL CALL!

    Public Service Announcement: You don’t need political analysts; just read the news. Singular lines of news suffice at times. You are now in the post-analytic age. Here is a one-liner from a Yahoo! News piece on the recent passage of the Snoops-R-Us bill in the Senate: “Obama ended up voting for the final bill, as did Specter.”

    That one sentence tells you all you need to know about where Obama and most Democrats stand on the issue of civil liberties and what political leaders are not willing to do to protect those liberties. Now, that should be enough to make you withdraw your support from Obama’s presidency — if, that is, you still have illusions about the Democrats in general, and Barak Obama in this round of Anybody-But-Bush/McCain.

    “What?” says you, “And let McCain win the election?”

    To that it must be said: What on earth is the difference when the Democratic presidential nominee, during the election campaign, votes in the same way as a right-wing Republican not just on any bill, but on a bill curtailing people’s civil liberties?

            Yea he is.

            He’s a new kind of POLITICIAN.

            He uses community organizing techniques to expand his base and get regular citizens involved.

            He is not an ideologue who refuses to see the other side of an issue for fear he will be brought down by it.

            He is the first Democratic candidate to openly discuss faith and to court the Evangelical vote in decades.

            He has more donors, more volunteers, and more voters than any candidate in the history of American political elections.

            He defeated the Clinton campaign because of a brilliant, perfectly executed campaign strategy and message.

            He has changed the way elections are run in this country, and in doing so, has earned the respect of Hillary Clinton, and her full support.

            He’s a politician and he needs to get elected to be able to institute any change.

                I’d love to see how his position has changed.

                If you’ve been listening him for the past year, it’s pretty clear it hasn’t.

                And I strongly support faith based initiatives, ESPECIALLY Obama’s, which will give money to pro-homosexual religious organizations, unlike the faith based initiatives of John McCain.

                Promoting the programs already put in place by well-meaning (not hateful) religious organizations is a great way to help those in need in this country without having to create the infrastructure or spend the money that new federal programs would cost.

              sk8boy,
              Do you need a towel or did you use your favorite sock?

              To you, naive = having principles based on common decency. To me, it means assuming you have judgment about things, when you lack the experience to ascertain the quality of your judgement.

              For example, Obama naively believes he has superior judgment about foreign policy issues, even though he has not trained in foreign policy and, therefore, lacks the judgment that comes with working on things and learning from successes and failures.

              Your commentary on Obama, specifically with regard to the newness that you profess to see, and its political trappings (respect, immoral expediency) indicates a woeful lack of education in political history. Your comments indicate naivety. This does not mean you are not intellectually adept. It merely means you are a neophyte pretending to be an expert who feels the need to insult others, by calling them naive, as a means of hiding by intimidation your lack of authority.

            Further, we do not go to Obama blogs because, generally speaking, they do not allow any type of critique of Obama. For this reason, we’ve made our own sites.

      Obama’s Plan for Housing:

      * Create a New FHA Housing Security Program: Barack Obama strongly supports the efforts of Senate Banking Committee Chair Chris Dodd (D–CT) to create a new Federal Housing Administration (FHA) program that will provide meaningful incentives for lenders to buy or refinance existing mortgages and convert them into stable 30-year fixed mortgages. This plan provides an important federal backstop – not a bailout – to this growing national problem. Neither lenders nor homeowners would receive a windfall from this plan.
      * Create a Universal Mortgage Credit: Obama will create a 10 percent universal mortgage credit to provide homeowners who do not itemize tax relief. This credit will provide an average of $500 to 10 million homeowners, the majority of whom earn less than $50,000 per year.
      * Ensure More Accountability in the Subprime Mortgage Industry: Obama has been closely monitoring the subprime mortgage situation for years, and introduced comprehensive legislation over a year ago to fight mortgage fraud and protect consumers against abusive lending practices. Obama’s STOP FRAUD Act provides the first federal definition of mortgage fraud, increases funding for federal and state law enforcement programs, creates new criminal penalties for mortgage professionals found guilty of fraud, and requires industry insiders to report suspicious activity.
      * Mandate Accurate Loan Disclosure: Obama will create a Homeowner Obligation Made Explicit (HOME) score, which will provide potential borrowers with a simplified, standardized borrower metric (similar to APR) for home mortgages. The HOME score will allow individuals to easily compare various mortgage products and understand the full cost of the loan.
      * Create Fund to Help Homeowners Avoid Foreclosures: Obama will create a fund to help people refinance their mortgages and provide comprehensive supports to innocent homeowners. The fund will be partially paid for by Obama’s increased penalties on lenders who act irresponsibly and commit fraud.
      * Close Bankruptcy Loophole for Mortgage Companies: Obama will work to eliminate the provision that prevents bankruptcy courts from modifying an individual’s mortgage payments. Obama believes that the subprime mortgage industry, which has engaged in dangerous and sometimes unscrupulous business practices, should not be shielded by outdated federal law.

        Who just relinquished control of Fannie after a $21mm last year’s salary? Jim Johnson who formerly ran Walter Mondale’s presidential campaign, and was until last month was head of Obama’s search for a VP. Prior to that Jaime Gorelick was part of Fannie’s top management (she helped make 9/11 WTC happen, with her famous wall of separation during the Clinton years).
        These progressive Democrats have been attacking Angelo Mozillo relentlessly for months, and are the same ones that got Conrad Cris Dodd, Donna Shalala and other Democrats their discounted (bribery) mortgages.
        Angelo being the most knowledgeable mortgage guy anywhere, may have uncovered some dirt at Fannie on how it’s been a crooked piggybank for Democrats (and he’s needs them off his back badly).

    Hey! I like the cover of the NEW YORKER. Every body has some sort of hardship (unless they are millionairs)and making mortgage payments is usually one of them (hardships). That man and that woman on the over page of The New Yorker could be one of the worst disasters to ever strike the US of A and I think it is high time they get the recognition they so justly deserve.

      Me too, if nothing else it illustrates the exact beliefs that so many Americans have about the BO’s

    • lb_Jane

      I dont agree with needing to curtail political cartoons. They are a part of every election. Of course the mortgage crisis, the war, tanking stocks and oil prices hitting the roof are real issues, but the New Yorker doesnt usually deal with ‘news’ kinds of items like Mother Jones or Time magazine purport to. It is a social commentary. Basically Hillary Clinton got so much guff during her campaign, and by extension all of us her supporters, that Im really happy to see the Obamatrons get a little of their own medicine.
      Check out the history books and you will see political candidates being lampooned back to the beginning of our elections.

    I agree that there are real issues to care about rather than what is on the cover of a magazine.

    I would say, however, that this is not a cartoon I would have ever considered doing. There is so much REAL stuff to work with! And that also makes the cartoons nore difficult to criticize.

  • elizinsandi

    You can make all kinds of inappropriate innuendos if you’re a Bernie Mac…insult parents and kids all over the country….

    but just take a peek at a political cartoon…! Ever occur to anybody they didn’t have to AGREE with it?

    Christ on a cracker!

      Remember the outrage in Muslim countries over the cartoons that mentioned Muhammad? More cult-like insane group think.

  • elizinsandi

    Bill is so right. We are polarized as Americans. You know in fascist societies, one of the first things to go is art?

  • elizinsandi

    Anybody who doesn’t see the media as BIAZED is in a cave! And, yeah, the New Yorker and most print media are pimping Obama.

  • elizinsandi

    And John is going to stay ahead unless the voters get harrassed and balloting messed with in Nov. Oblahblah is not going to take defeat graciously.

  • MADISON

    And don’t you remember “Time Mazagine” Who put Hillary standing looking at herself with her hands and feet tied on the rail road tracks? What did MSNBC DO? NOT A DAM THING NOTHING,THEY DID NOT BRING THIS UP OT THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY OR ANYONE.THAT JUST GOES TO SHOW YOU NOW THEY ARE USEING HILLARY AGAIN AND HILLARY ALWAYS WILL GO ON THE MEDIA IF ASK AND OBAMA RUNS AND HIDES AND NOW HE WILL NOT DEBATE JOHN MCCAIN AS HE SAID TALKING TO PEOPLE WHO WERE THERE IN A CAMPAIGN TRAIL.SAID OBAMA SAID IN FRONT OF PEOPLE ” John McCain want’s 10 debates and I will tell you that I will debate John McCaim anythime any where”Well Obama just blew off three so far.One that the military requested for him Obama and John McCain come sit down togethere and have a debate. Obama camp would not give the military a call back.The military called again ask-requested with many dates to show-pick one obama- nothing Obama ducked again as he always does. and nothing they did not heard for Obama or the camp.untill alot later-Obama said will we have to get up with you on that.And that Obama himself will come and talk if so.”HISSELF” OH ALONE,AGAIN OBAMA DOESN’T WANT TO HAVE TO TRY AND GET CAUGHT IN HIS LIES.OBAMA WILL LIE ABOUT HILLARY AND NOT INFRONT OF HER.OBAMA WANT’S TO BE BY HIS SELF SO HE CAN BLOW SMOKE UP PEOPLES TAIL PIPES.AND CAN’T BE FACE TO FACE CONFRONTED ON THIS BY JOHN OR HILLARY.WHAT A CHICKEN A LOW LIFE OBAMA IS.

    • lb_Jane

      TELL IT!!

  • politicsisdirty

    For months I have been praying that “Karma” befall all those who promote injustice.

    Now “karma” is starting to be felt by the Obama campaign and their followers.

    I pray more to come.

  • MADISON

    OBAMA HAS NOT COME FORWARD WITH HIS REAL BIRTH CERTIFICATE YET.MANY HAVE REQUESTED IT AND NO WORD FFROM OBAMA OR THE CAMP.NOW I WOULD THINK OBAMA WOULD COME FORWARD WITH THE REAL DEAL.ANY OTHER TIME OBAMA IS SCREAMING MOMMY TO MSNBC

    WE CAN FILE WITH THE COURTS TO HAVE OBAMA COME FORWARD.

  • Perry Logan

    It’s hard not to celebrate when such a dirty campaigner takes a hit.

    • Dawnelle

      Perry!! Sounds like cause for a

      Hip Hip Hazzah!!! and some funny video?

      I really do have no problem telling ANY of them “I told you so”

      it is so richly deserved

      and I love your library background.
      My MOM would flip as she is the hard corp (core) reader.

  • Walter Mitty

    A great deal of anger and rage I see here,

    At His Corrupt Fraudulence.

    If the Democratic Party can’t do any better than this, it deserves to lose in a landslide.

    We could easily develop a left-center Third Party by 2012, on about 4 core issues.

    Fuck Obama and the utterly corrupt gelding he rode in on.

    If not Hillary in 2008, then a Third Party in 2012.

    “Revenge is a dish best served cold”.

    • lb_Jane

      Third Party is a sweet sound right about now!

    I was thinking abt this very thing earlier – thank you for the awesome post. Another similarity between Obama and Bush: somehow, Obama has elevated himself (and been elevated) to such a height that we cannot even poke fun at him (though the cover was poking fun at EVERYONE else – just sayin’). It’s just like the perceived racism (e.g., Bill and Hillary when nothing racist was said) and everything else that the Obama people have blown WAY out of proportion. But they get to paint Obama as the long-suffering messiah who has to put up with the constant attacks to bring him down low, but he does it for us. (OK – I can barely write this crap out – GAG.)

    So, yeah – they are making a mountain out of a mole hill, and now everyone can talk abt THIS rather than abt him voting to shred the Constitution and the Bill of Rights!!

    • lb_Jane

      haha funny!
      Oh yes, he has his priorities straight! Once again, BO reacts primarily about anything to do with his image.
      Its all show with him, image no substance, smoke and mirrors

    New York Times Misleads to Protect Obama; Attack John McCain

    http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=r8AIfRg-HKk&feature=related

    And Obama tried to say that McCain different in making hisself look good while he stands and lies to people who sit and hear his lies on McCain.When Obama never did a dam thing for the vets.

    McCain when shot down many died many laid there with bloody clothes as well as John McCain in his 20s John McCain was offered to go back home from the war,What did John McCain do.John McCain said no.He wanted to stay and fight for his country so others here can stay safe.John McCain stayed -John McCain became a P.O.W. 51/2 YEARS HE WAS BEATED THE WORST ANYONE WHO HAD NEVER BEEN THERE COULD NEVER KNOW WHAT JOHN MCCAIN WENT THROUGHT.Obama while in his 20S out smoking dope-drinking and burning holes in carpet talking about his mentors reading books of hate of the white people.

    Obama is a no body-As you notice when ask a question he un un and then turns it to someone eLse like Hillary or McCain.

    I am so sick of Obama playing with the american people.He went around saying Hillary is more like bUSH trying to get the people from Hillary .Now that he is had went back on many of his words that he said he would never do Obama did,AND MSMBS SAID AS WELL Hillary is she going on Bush’s side.. It’s was to get people away from Hillary.And now that Obama did msnbc is trying to cover from what he say he would never do. What a lack of judgements Obama and MSNBC HAS! They made up lies of Hillary saying she was Bush and tried to make her look bad .And now that Obama has been and went back on his word to his supporters 22,000 have been asking and are upset with Obama and some have went Hillary and McCain.so they msnbc is trying to figure a way out of getting Obama out of this mess that he himself created.

    MSNBC READS THE BLOGS AND SIT AROUND WITH THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY LEADERS AND TRY TO FIGURE OUT WHAT TO DO-WHAT TO BRING UP AND HOW THEY CAN MAKE IT ALL BETTER FOR OBAMA,WHILE GOING ON LYING ABOUT MCCAIN AS THEY DID HILLARY.

    WE HILLARY SUPPORTERS HAD SAW IT ALL WITH MSNBC-DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND WE WILL NOT FALL IN LINE IN THIS OR ANYTHING ELSE.WE ARE GOING TO DENVER!
    IF THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY DO WHAT THEY ARE TRYING TO HOLD HILLARY FROM THE BALLOT WHICH I CALLED THE DEMOCRATIC PARTY AND ASK IS HILLARY NAME GOING TO BE ON THE BALLOT, YES-IS THE DEMOCRATIC APRTY GOING TO STOP HILLARY FROM TAKING THIS TO DENVER? NO -WELL OK BUT WE ARE WATCHING AND IF THEY DO-YOU WILL NOT GET OUR VOTES FOR HILLARY CAUSE YOU TOOK HER OFF AND WE WILL BE MCCAIN ALL THE WAY.BOY SHE GOT MADE AND NASTY THEN.

    MSNBC IS SO IN THE TANK WITH OBAMA AS THE DEMOCRATIVC PARTY AS WELL WENT THE SAME AS MSNBC CALLING HILLARY BUSH

    They are so much of flip floprer and trying to get to the people with their own lies.
    Obama the liar as he lied on Hillary as well.

      Hey when the people you used to drop bombs on say your a good man, the HAS to be something to it. From Newsweek……

      Just about everyone in Vietnam agrees. They all know who McCain is, and no one seems to hold a grudge about the 23 bombing missions he flew against targets in and around Hanoi. That goes for ordinary Vietnamese, senior bureaucrats and people who met him during his captivity—the district nurse who may have saved his life after he was shot down, and the hard-line military officer who was his chief jailer for more than five years at the Plantation and the notorious Hanoi Hilton. They like the way McCain pushed Washington to normalize relations in the 1990s and the way trade has mushroomed from $1.5 billion in 2001 to $12 billion last year, and they believe he’ll help them even more if he wins. It’s a far cry from the day McCain parachuted from his disintegrating jet and was severely beaten and stripped to his underwear by the mob that pulled him from Truc Bach Lake.

    Obama’s ‘civilian national security force’

    HELLO…THIS IS A STATEMENT EXCERPTED FROM http://www.worldnetdaily AND WRITTEN BY JOSEPH FARRAH (EDITOR). PLEASE HELP OUT ON THIS!!!

    JOSEPH FARRAH’S STATEMENT IN PART

    Obama’s ‘civilian national security force’ For several days now, WND has been hounding Barack Obama’s campaign about a statement he made July 2 in Colorado Springs – a statement that blew my mind, one that has had me scratching my head ever since.

    In talking about his plans to double the size of the Peace Corps and nearly quadruple the size of AmeriCorps and the size of the nation’s military services, he made this rather shocking (and chilling) pledge: “We cannot continue to rely on our military in order to achieve the national security objectives we’ve set. We’ve got to have a civilian national security force that’s just as powerful, just as strong, just as well-funded.”

    Who will Obama appoint to administer this new “civilian national security force”? Where will the money come from? Where in the Constitution does he see justification for the federal government creating such a domestic army
    At this point all I can do is enlist your help – and the help of every other journalist who still thinks the American people have a right to know the specifics about a presidential candidate’s biggest and boldest initiatives before the election. I also want to ask radio talk-show hosts across America to start asking this same question. I have a feeling if others join our quest, we might yet get clarification on this proposal from Obama.

    Certainly there have been initiatives like this elsewhere – Cuba, the Soviet Union, China, Venezuela, North Korea. But has anything like this ever been proposed in a free country?

    END OF EXCERPTED JOSEPH FARRAH STATEMENT..

    GOD SAVE US FROM BARACK HUSSIEN OBAMA!!
