IF barrack obama was elected president,

THEN reverend wright must be wrong in his twenty plus years of ranting that white America is racist and blacks have been taken advantage of and left with no chance to succeed.

Perhaps now reverend jeremiah wright, jessee jackson, louis farrakhan, al sharpton, and all of the other race baiters will dedicate their message to telling blacks how it is that obama, a kid from the streets of Chicago, managed to rise to the most powerful position in the free world.

These self appointed leaders of black America could explain that this obama kid got an education. He then used that education to get a job. He then parlayed one job into the next better job. He met influential people, got involved in the community, stayed out of trouble, got married, had a family, and kept working and let ambition propel him to new levels.

 

Well looky there, it seems the only change you obama voters are going to get is SHORT CHANGED!

And those of you who supported obama over hillary because you were tired of the Clintons, guess what, you get hillary anyway!!

Isn’t it grand!

He promised change but you’re getting the very thing he campaigned against, the same good old boys and girls Washington insider club.

His VP has thirty years on the dole, his chief of staff is a long time liberal hack who salivates at being just as partisan as possible, his sec of state is hillary, and 20 or so other cabinet members are Clinton presidency alumni!

The word now from the obama camp is, ‘people are going to have to lower their expectations’. This basically means you bought the lies, so get over it.

They are also saying he is selecting ‘experience’ over ‘change’ in his administration selections.

Wait a minute, hold the phone! Didn’t you obama excuse makers and supporters say experience didn’t matter!?!?!?

Let me break this down for all you sad sacks who will soon being feeling some serious buyers remorse, there was a candidate offering change. A candidate who has proven that he will go against the consensus, and even his own party. A candidate who selected a VP that represented a major departure from politics as usual.

But this candidate was ridiculed, dismissed, and accused of being exactly the opposite of who he was and what he was offering.

There will be none of the change you voted for because it exists only in the idealism of a foolish electorate and the bankrupt policies and lies of the liberals running (or ruining), the democrat party.

The inmates are running the asylum.

Hope you like the change.

The dems are firing some early test shots across the bow to see what we will put up with. They are not going to wait until a second term to roll out their liberal agenda if they think they can get away with it now.

The use of executive order to bypass Congress smacks of a dictatorship! The obamites are claiming to have a mandate for change. While 52% victory of margin looks impressive at first glance, when you consider 47% voted AGAINST him, it puts it all into perspective that he does NOT have a mandate for his change.

If he is going to be president for everyone, as he claims, then the will of that 47% must be respected and change brought about in a thoughtful manner that does not alienate half of the country.

If obama does follow through with a barrage of executive orders I can almost guarantee his defeat in 2012.

It is up to each of us to speak out in advance of this attempt to hijack America.

Don't assume someone else will take care of it, it's up to us!

Don't wait until something has been done and cannot be fixed.

Call, email, and write your elected representative in Congress NOW!

Tell them you are concerned about the potential abuse of power by the obama administration.

Tell them to let it be known we will not stand for anything short of fair and impartial government.

Let it be known right now that the Fairness Doctrine is unacceptable.

Let them know that if they cannot represent your wishes then they cannot count on your vote.

They all want to be re-elected and your vote is a huge bargaining chip!

it is going to take a huge effort to reign in the power mad liberal agenda and those who are chomping at the bit to shove it down our throats.

While his party affiliation may be with the democrat party, he is not the democrat of your father and grandfather

Obama is not a democrat. He is not even a liberal! His philosophies, both social and political, come down on the side of socialism and Marxism.

The words he speaks while on the campaign trail have been betrayed by his actual beliefs that are slowly starting to surface.

His plan for America is to ‘fix’ our Constitution which he says is fundamentally flawed as it does not specifically address issues or race, specifically blacks. His idea of fixing the flaw is to amass coalitions of like minded people in the political and judicial areas. This basically means he wants to stack the Supreme Court with judges who will legislate from the bench and politicians who will create law to this end.

Obama also favors redistribution of wealth. In his 2001 comments on NPR he stated that the Supreme Court had failed to address redistribution of wealth as it applied to blacks. He claimed that while they had been granted the same rights of access, the subject of economic fairness was not addressed. He addressed this redistribution of wealth again this month when he told Joe the plumber that he wanted to ‘spread the wealth around’.

Finally, there is his voting record of opposing protection for late term abortion in favor of infanticide. He did this on four different occasions.

Just so we are clear, infanticide is when a baby survives the abortion and is then denied medical assistance and left to die. Obama's position is that the intent of the procedure must be respected even if the baby survives the initial abortion attempt.

So, I wonder, does this sound like the platform, principles, and values of the Democrat party you remember and think you are still voting for?

 

Don't read anything more into Colin Powell's endorsement of obama than what it actually is, racism at work.
Powell can say what he wants about McCain’s 'negative' campaign but his failure to acknowledge the same tactics by the obama campaign is nothing short of hypocrisy.

Why is it informative when they criticize McCain, yet negative when the Republican does the same? Again the answer, as it applies to this campaign is simply, racism.

Powell embarrasses himself by trying to justify his choice with a reason that is nothing short of exactly what he has accused McCain of doing. Instead of supporting obama on the candidate’s merits, he tells us his support of the democrat is due to McCain’s negative campaign. Powell’s dishonesty is apparent in this pathetic justification.

The obama campaign has known Powell was in their camp for some time. His endorsement was carefully orchestrated to give obama a bounce heading into the last few weeks of the election cycle. The information was released on a weekend so the press could have free reign to spin the story to obama’s advantage without interference of talk radio.

More insight as to the real intentions of an Obama-Biden administration surfaced today.

It seems the democrat ticket has set their sights on continuing the assault against the George W. Bush. Both men have indicated they will seek to pursue criminal charges against the President if they are elected.

This is an important issue as it frames what these guys are really all about. Go here to read it  http://www.guardian.co.uk/world/2008/sep/03/uselections2008.joebiden

The two most liberal men to ever run for the  White House dare to call into question the actions and policies of a man who has put himself in harms way to protect our country. One of them has no experience and has accomplished nothing in 143 days as a senator and the other has thirty years of doing nothing to add to the resume.

If the economy is as bad as these guys say, why is going after Bush even on their radar?

If the war in Iraq is a key platform for them, why is going after Bush on their minds.

If they re running a campaign against John McCain and Sarah Palin, why would they spend a minute of their time even talking about the man who is leaving office and not a candidate?

The answers are obvious, these men represent the agenda of the liberal wing of the democrat party which is to 'get Bush'! That's why Obama is there and Hillary is not. He is viewed as the messiah of the liberal agenda and seen as their best hope of accomplishing the goal of exacting revenge on Mr. Bush, one way or the other.
The last thing the libs want is to have to look back in another twenty years and have history prove Bush was right as it did Reagan.

The lack of experience and accomplishment as a lawmaker are certainly good reasons Obama is not qualified to be President. But the idea that he is not able to move forward and get over the hatred of George W. Bush, and seeks to use the office of President to continue the attacks, showcases his flawed character. It further demonstrates he, and his running mate, do not seek to unify the country or have any grasp of what really matters to the people they claim to represent.

Barack Obama and Joe Biden seem content to look backwards and remain stuck in the past. What kind of future is that?

Barack Obama was clear and to the point when he said family, especially the kids, were off limits during the campaign. he seemed angry that suggestions had been made that some of his staff may have been involved in any such activity and said point blank he would fire anyone he found to be taking part in attacks on Palin's children.
 
Those are wondefrully spoken great words, but as we all know, ACTIONS SPEAK LOUDER THAN WORDS.

It is time for Mr. Obama to summon the media to a press conference and tell them to stop going after the dirt on his opponents. it's fine for him to say 'his 'staff' is not involved, but only a complete idiot would deny that the press is doing his dirty work.

His staff doesn't need to attack Sara Palin's kids or husband when the media is doing it for them.

Since the press doesn't even try to hide it's support of the democrat candidate, by default Obama is the benefactor of  their dirty work.

We know it and so does Senator Obama.

He needs to back up his tough words with some tough action and reign the press in.

While the media is under no obligation to do anything he says, by doing this Obama would score big points for at least showing his intentions aren't just more of his empty words.

When asked which Supreme Court justices he would not have nominated, Barack Hussein Obama said, "I would not have nominated Clarence Thomas. I don't think that he, I don't think that he was a strong enough jurist or legal thinker at the time for that elevation."

There you have it folks, a guy with less than a year under his belt as a US senator citing experience as the main factor for disqualification.

If you go to this link,  http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rKy5-AwdWDw  , you can watch the actual video clip. Pay close attention to Obama catching himself almost saying 'experience'.  Even though he caught himself and said something else, the meaning is the same. The key words are still 'at this time'. This indicates he feels Thomas is now a capable judge which I would guess comes from, that's right, EXPERIENCE!

Finally, something he and I agree on!

The selection of Joe Biden as the Obama running mate represents nothing more than an occasion for the liberal media to slobber on themselves.

I know, there is finally someone on the ticket with some actual experience but who cares, Biden is not running for the office!

He's the number two guy on the ticket, and as Bill Clinton aptly demonstrated, the number two guy isn't even as important as the First lady!

The press will now focus on Biden's credentials in an attempt to put up yet another smoke screen to cover Obama's obvious lack of qualifications to run the country. They  will try to parlay Biden's experience into Obama's experience by promoting the 'team' mentality of the ticket. Does anyone think for a minute that Joe Biden would actually have any active role in an Obama White House?

In spite of the running mate selection of either party the question still remains, which of the two candidates, McCain or Obama, is more qualified to be President?

The answer is simple, it's the guy who doesn't have to use his VP as a crutch!

Obama bills himself as the candidate of change.

Bullsh**t! 
 
The only change he really wants is to change our country into a socialist empire that would make the French green with envy!

If you want real change, change that will make a difference for each American, here it is.

CHANGE 1 - term limits for Congress and the President. One six year term for President, one for the House, and one for the Senate. You could serve a total of 18 years, once in each position. After that, it's back home and back to work.

CHANGE 2 - Do away with the special rules that Congress lives under. Let them live under the same rules and laws that we all do. After all, they made them!

CHANGE 3 - Pay Congress the same wages our soldiers and police make. If it's good enough money for those who put their lives on the line, it ought to be good enough for those who sorry asses they protect!

I don't mean to make it sound to simplistic, but it is!  If you want change you have to be willing to actually do more than fill the air with sound bites and BS.

I promise you this, take the 'professionals' out of politics and it becomes people serving people as it once was, and should be.

What about experience you say? What about the time it takes to develop the skills needed to run the greatest country in the world?
Well let's think about that a minute, the presumptive democrat candidate, the messiah and savior of life as we know it, does not even have a full year of on the job experience as a US senator and yet he is hailed as the man who can save America. Is it just me or is that more liberal hypocrisy???????????????????????????????????????????

If you want change, start by changing your expectations of those you vote for.




      

The president of OPEC, Chakib Khelil said they would not raise production to help stem the rising cost of fuel prices. He went on to say computer or car makers would not be asked to raise production if the prices were high.  Nice try, but that comparison will not float in this discussion. First of all, in America an alliance such as OPEC would be illegal. Car and computer makers could not legally meet and set production limits without running afoul of US law. So Mr. Khelil needs to get his head out of the sand, (pun intended), and admit that OPEC is enjoying the windfall profit from the price hike, no matter what the cause, and basking in the glory of seeing dependent countries, (such as America), feel the pinch. When you remove the competition factor from a product the users are at the mercy of the producers.

It is time we realize this situation is never going to change as long as we do not control our own destiny. We need to build refineries, drill our own soil for our own oil, turn to atomic energy for power, and stop the cycle of being manipulated by countries that have used technology we invented against us.

No, it won't happen overnight and bring immediate relief at the pump. But, the next twenty years will usher in a new era for America that will guarantee future generations that they will not be held hostage over oil. If we had reacted properly and looked forward during the energy crisis in the 70's we would not be having this discussion.

OPEC is a cartel of greed and power. By becoming energy independent we will render them obsolete. Our oil reserves are larger than those of Kuwait and Saudi Arabia. Imagine the impact it would have on how oil is sold worldwide if we were to become a major exporter.

The rising tide of pro drilling sentiment in the US will be watched closely by OPEC. I would not be surprised to see them make a move to take measures to drastically lower oil prices if they see we are going to change our position and begin exploration and drilling.

If this happens we need to make sure we don't fall for their maneuvers and continue forward in doing what we must to cut our dependency on their oil. If we don't, and let falling prices trick us into thinking the crisis is over, it will only be a matter of time before we are right back in the same situation, only with $8 a gallon gas and diesel.

Changing your position and becoming enlightened are two very different things.

 

Barack Obama has accused John McCain of changing his opinion on drilling for oil on US land. While I understand the way the political games are played, I think Obama would be well advised to either steer clear of the oil issue or to embrace the renewed call for oil exploration on our soil.

Accusing someone of doing a flip flop on an issue that is having a negative impact on every American is pretty damn stupid.

 

When oil is relatively inexpensive, supplies ample, and the price at the pump is low you can continue to support the ban on drilling. But, when the price surges upward and is hurting the working folks it is a responsible move to re-evaluate your position and adjust it to meet the current and future needs.

 

It is a bold move to look at a situation and say “that was then, this is now”. This is the type of leadership I expect in a President.

 

Contrast this now with Obama’s position, When asked about high gas prices he responded by saying he would have rather the increase to have been over a longer period of time to give people a chance to adjust better.

 

So both men have made their energy policy known.

 

McCain has decided we must become energy independent by tapping our own resources.

 

Obama doesn’t have a problem with you paying more; he just wants to stretch it out over a longer period of time.

 

Which sounds Presidential and which sounds idiotic?

 

Remember folks, we get the government we deserve. Think about that when you treat voting like it’s no more than a sporting event.
