The man who insists "I am my brother's keeper," and wants to mandate the same of us by redistributing American wealth, let's his half brother in Kenya live in a slum, subsisting on the equivalence of $4 a year. The man who insists "I am my brother's keeper," and wants to mandate the same of us by redistributing American wealth, has an aunt in a Boston slum who is here illegally, and an immigration fugitive, who illegally receives welfare benefits, and has ILLEGALLY donated to the Obama campaign.
Barack H. Obama is his brother's keeper, but despite the wealth HE owns, he cannot spare even an additional $4 that would DOUBLE his Kenyan half brother's annual income. For all of Barack "my brother's keeper" Obama's wealth he can't hire an immigration lawyer for his aunt, and appeal her deportation order, nor can he help her with a better subsistence-- but happily accepts her contributions to his presidential bid! ...until found out, that is.
Who helped Aunt Zeituni get into the country, who helped her get a social security card? Apply for Welfare? Government housing?
He wants to tax us to spread the wealth, but he's not interested in spreading his own wealth around to his own family. What a colossal hypocrite!
Shame on you, Barack Obama.
Typically, Democratic lawmaker's are outraged over the leak of Barack's fugitive aunt to the media, and are calling for a federal investigation.
Democratic U.S. Rep. John Conyers of Michigan fired off a letter asking Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff to investigate whether someone leaked the information to the media in an effort to damage Obama...
"This leak is deplorable and I urge you to take immediate action to investigate and discipline those responsible."
That's right, "a leak". Something SOMEONE knew, but was keeping silent about.
"Naturally," Obama didn't know his aunt was even in the U.S., just as he didn't know Tony Rezko was doin' some shady dealins', just as he didn't know his own pastor was an angry vitriolic racist and an America hater, just as he didn't know Ayer's beyond knowing he was 'just some guy who lived in his neighborhood'. And also, naturally, NO ONE on the Left is outraged at the violation of Joe "the Plumber" Wurzelbacher's privacy by Ohio Obama operatives. Similarly, no one on the Left was outraged when Democratic staffers to Senator Schumer stole the identity of then Lt. Governor Michael Steele in 2005...
Have you heard what Democrats working for Sen. Charles Schumer at the Democratic Senatorial Campaign Committee tried to do here in my home state of Maryland to bring down Republican Lt. Gov. Michael Steele?
Steele, a rising star in the party, is considering a Senate bid. Two of Schumer’s staffers, including a former researcher for David Brock’s Media Matters, obtained Steele’s credit report by using his Social Security number, which they got from public documents. Under federal law, it is illegal to knowingly and willfully obtain a credit report under false pretenses.
There has been no outcry from privacy advocates, the ACLU, the champions of clean campaigns, or any major MSM editorial board. Needless to say, if it had been Republicans involved in this outrageous scheme and the target had been a liberal minority politician, it would be a front-page NYTimes scandal. The Times (surprise, surprise) has yet to cover the story...
Yep. Veritable founts of integrity those Democrats.
Well it ain't over, as they say, until the fat lady sings, and she doesn't take the stage til sometime after 7pm Tuesday evening. People are starting to see this fraud for what he is. It's a shame those 'People' are from across the pond...
You have to pinch yourself – a Marxisant radical who all his life has been mentored by, sat at the feet of, worshipped with, befriended, endorsed the philosophy of, funded and been in turn funded, politically promoted and supported by a nexus comprising black power anti-white racists, Jew-haters, revolutionary Marxists, unrepentant former terrorists and Chicago mobsters, is on the verge of becoming President of the United States. And apparently it’s considered impolite to say so.
And after an Obama election such impoliteness will get one blacklisted.
The New York Post, The Washington Times, and the Dallas Morning News off his campaign plane for the final few days of the race. Their big crime? Their newspapers all endorsed John McCain. (Keep in mind: endorsements are written by the EDITORIAL page staff. Reporters belong to the NEWS (and not editorial) divisions. Obama took out his anger on the wrong people, but what's a minor detail like that when you're talking about The One?)
His campaign spokesman, Bill Burton, tried to explain: there are only so many seats on the plane, you see, and we need to make room for others. Like writers from Ebony, Essence, and Jet magazines. Burton said they wanted to fold in new reporters to try to reach "swing voters." Reality check: If you're reading Jet magazine, you're not a swing voter.
We're this the only example of Blacklisting by the "Change We Can Believe In" Campaign, we could write this off as not much to look at, but just last week the "Change" Campaign blacklisted WFTV-Channel 9 in Orlando, FL because a reporter dared ask tough questions of Joe Biden.
Ah, yes... I can almost hear the Coronation Choir now...
When the moon is in the Seventh House
And Jupiter aligns with Mars
Then peace will guide the planets
And love will steer the stars
This is the dawning of the Age of Obama
The Age of Obama
Obama! Obama!
Harmony and understanding
Sympathy and trust abounding
No more falsehoods or derisions
Golden living dreams of visions
Mystic crystal revelation
And the mind's true liberation
Obama! Obama!
...
Read what the Economist- a bastion of free market capitalism said about Barak Obama this week.
It's a good dose of reality vs. the scare-tactic sideshows here.
This video is filled with values for value voters:
We Are The Ones Song
As to reality, whose reality should we get a dose of? The reality that Barack Obama will be a better president? Or the reality where John McCain is a better president. Offering a link to some article is not enough to change my mind about Barack, just as nothing posted on this blog will change your mind.
Your reality is simply that-- Your Reality. And from where I sit it looks like pure fantasy.
It has been my experience that some people, however well meaning, display their inborn propensity for bad judgment often enough for me to not take everything someone says as the gospel truth.
I'm not saying Barack Obama isn't capable of being president. MOST people are capable of managing the country with a crack-team of advisers behind them. My objection to Barack Obama is based solely on his stated policy-changes, and his lack of good prior judgments in the people he associates with and the color lipstick he's using to paint his own pig. I don't care one whit about the color of his skin, or what kind of faith he professes, so long as that faith doesn't propagate hatred and racism. And if he's going to lie-- as all men do --he should be a heck of a lot better at it than Obama apparently is.
I am personally tired of election politics. I am MOST especially tired of election politics coverage by CBS, NBC, ABC, MSNBC, CNN, and yes, FOX. I'm tired of all the ass kissing media-- who claim to be impartial/ unbiased/ no horse in the race --is giving the Obama campaign.
Based on what I've seen and heard from Barack Obama, his campaign, and Pelosi, Reid, Schumer, Murtha, etc., ad nauseum, shows me that an Obama presidency would be a disaster for personal liberty in general, and the 1st amendment specifically. Especially their stated desire to reinstitute the so-called "fairness doctrine" which will kill all political debate except that which is approved of by whichever administration is in power. THAT IS NOT WHAT COUNTLESS AMERICANS HAVE FOUGHT AND DIED FOR!
If you drive Sean Hannity off the air, if by reinstituting the fairness doctrine you remove Neal Boortz, Laura Ingraham, Glenn Beck, Michael Savage, Rush Limbaugh, and many others off the air, then you, by your own effort, have destroyed the first amendment.
The fairness doctrine is antithetical to free speech. And any man who puts his hand on the Bible on inauguration day and swears to "preserve, protect and defend the Constitution of the United States," then turns around and dismantles the first and most basic right granted us by the Constitution is not worthy of the office, and is a traitor to his oath of office.
I'm not interesting in living in a soviet-style mirror-state. Especially when Obama has recently stated a desire to institute a national civilian police force stronger, better funded and armed than our military. No one in the media has asked Obama about this concept. And, strangely, all mention of this grand idea has mysteriously disappeared from der Leader's website. And I don't use that German article lightly.
The man's ideas for this country are truly frightening. I've said it before, that I'm not all that high on John McCain, but given the choice between an occasional party traitor, and a man who wants [or wanted] to kill free speech, tax us into oblivion [whatever The Economist says], and create a civilian police force strong and better funded than our own military!? Barack is too dangerous a man to ever let near the Oval Office.
My objections to Barack Obama is not hysteria. It is not a scare-tactic sideshow. Mu objections are derived from policy statements straight from the horses mouth.
And it is mostly, though not entirely, devoid of gratuitous and hyperventilated Obama slams.
Thank you for making think about the issue of the "fairness doctrine."
And I have to ask from 1949-1967 was America not a diverse society with a wide range of available public political discourse? Are those not the supposed Golden Years before media devolved in partisan hackery????
You think the Fairness Doctrine is dead simply because they aren't talking about it? Perhaps they don't speak of it due to their belief that they'll have the majority to push it through should Barry win on Tuesday. I've no doubt we'll hear a lot of things of which they didn't speak openly in the campaign should they win.
Take off the tinfoil hat Marshall
But I think I speak for many of my ilk that it's not up to the government to decide what's fair or balanced when it comes to speech. Just like the wall between church and state, gov't intrusion here--however well intentioned--could become disastrous.
I think there would be an across-the-spectrum rebellion if anything like what is described as the fairness doctrine came out of Congress.
They haven't forced the issue on withdrawing from Iraq, the issue they claimed as the primary reason for their ascendency. Domestically, they insisted that Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac were solvent until they suddenly weren't, and they don't seem all that interested in holding Congressional hearings about the credit meltdown because, unlike the (relatively smaller) collapse of Enron, their own oxes would be gored if they took too close a look at the shenanigans that were distorting the market.
Bush's approval ratings are in the toilet, but those of Congress are in the septic tank, and the Dems have had two years to change that: it seems hardly probable that their abyssmal ratings are the result of a principled stand, because one struggles to find anything the Dem-led Congress has accomplished.
Make an effort to tell Bubba this is the called the high road.
Also, make an effort to tell Bubba that a two year Congress cannot reverse a six year Republican hegemony during which one American city nearly disappeared and almost 2000 people died without much response by the President or Republican led Congress.
Tell Bubba, if you can, that the Democrats who are in charge are investigating CEO pay, lying to investors, and examining right federal oversight measures to prevent what happened. And in their expertise, they know better than to believe sidwalk shills like Bubba that Mae and Mac are at the center of the problem.
Take up the cause of futility in telling Bubba what he will not consider, because there may just be others who will or who will not now listen to the blowhards like Bubba.
"The foxes who have been running the henhouse are diligently searching for the chicken theives, but the chickens simply refuse to divulge the theive's identities."
But Bubba refuses to listen to an alternative viewpoint...
Priceless!
But a two year Congress should have made SOME effort at reversal. Oh, that's right! Congress only controls the purse strings! By that standard they couldn't have done anything in SIX years, let along 2.
First you say Congress has no power except over the purse string, then you say two years isn't enough to undo six years of hegemony? Which is it? Do they, or do they not have any power to do anything? I suspect it is whichever is more convenient to your argument at the time...
It's no wonder his brother and aunt are living in poverty while he jets around the country lecturing about spreading wealth around. He wants to spread the wealth around, as long as it's not his wealth. I don't know that he's ever advocated anything else.
They did however debate th geo-political strategy of our military actions, they debated and called on the President to change course.
Since they cannot make him do so (despite the agreement of 70% of Americans) they have now helped bring the choice of change to the American people in the candidacy of Barrack Obama. The majority of Americans want out of Iraq. So they are voting for Obama.
They have also worked in extraordinary bipartisan ways to influence, edit, and pass legislation to address the economic crisis.
You know this Eric, don't play dumb.
What they have also done is investigate and report on the horrific ways in which the Department of Justice was waylaid by partisan and immature leadership... investigate and report on the disastrous sex and drugs for contract habits of the Department of the Interior...
These are among the responsibilities of Congress as well and they have discharged their responsibilities in ways that will make future malfeasance harder to do.
Please, my aunts have their own life and if they asked for help they would get it.
What the hell do you know about their situation, doofus?
