Obama is a complete Lightweight. He, on paper, is well educated. But, as I discovered in a Leadership class I attended: “he was Taught; but what did he Learn?” I submit that Obama has been taught time and again; he’s clearly an intelligent individual and can read a speech with few peers. Extemporaneously, however, he is lacking in both his speech and his thinking. He seems to have little grasp of the true history of this nation and plays fast and loose with the truth itself when it satisfies his personal needs. He is like furniture made today — not like the furniture of old. Years ago, craftsmen made furniture out of solid hardwood, oak and the like, to be durable, lasting, strong, solid through-and-through. Obama is like today’s furniture: he is naught but veneer.
- He wants to increase the minimum wage from $5.85 to $9.50;
- He wants to index the minimum wage to inflation, with annual adjustments;
- Make all but the smallest companies provide healthcare, or else the companies pay the government to provide it;
- All children must be insured; families that can’t afford it will receive subsidies;
- To keep insurers from suddenly hiking their rates, government will reimburse health plans when employees suffer catastrophic illness;
- Costs: $50 to 65 billion annually, according to Obama estimates;
- Increase capital gains tax rate from 15% to 28%;
- Allow a “middle class tax cut” to Americans making $75,000 a year or less;
- Allow the Bush tax cuts to expire in 2010;
- Raise the $102,000 payroll tax cap, so those earning above that amount would owe additional FICA taxes;
- Create regulation especially in telecommunications, energy and finance;
- The GOP estimates that these policies (and more) will cost $850 billion;
- Obama’s Global Poverty Act (S.2433) would commit $845 billion American tax dollars to reduce global poverty by half by the year 2015;
I must now to address the one who says, ‘don’t hold me responsible for what my ancestors did.’ But you have enjoyed the benefits of what your ancestors did! And unless you are ready to give up the benefits — Throw away your 401 fund! [sic] Throw away your trust fund! Throw away all the money that been put away in the company you walked into ’cause your daddy and your granddaddy and your great grandaddy —
(screaming at the top of his lungs)
Unless you are willing to give up the benefits, then you must be responsible for what was done in your generation! ‘Cause you are the beneficiary of this insurance policy!
[garbled] expose white entitlement. And supremacy, wherever it raises its head. I said before, I really don’t want ot make this political, because you know I’m really very unpolitical.
When Hillary was crying, and people said that was put on, I really don’t believe it was put on. I really believe that she just always thought, ‘this is mine. I’m Bill’s wife. I’m white, and this is mine. I just gotta get up and step into the plate.’
Then out of nowhere, ‘I’m Barack Obama!’ Imitating Hillary’s response, screaming at the top of his lungs again, he continues, ‘Ah, damn! Where did you come from? I’m white! I’m entitled! There’s a black man stealing my show!’ (mocks crying)
She wasn’t the only one crying, there was a whole lot of white people crying! I’m sorry. I don’t want in any more trouble. The live-streaming just went out again.”
A fiery liberal social activist and a white reverend at an African-American church — St. Sabina’s Catholic Church on the South Side of Chicago — is a longtime friend and associate of Sen. Barack Obama, D-Illinois, having known him since the presidential hopeful was a community activist. In September, the Obama campaign brought Pfleger to Iowa to host one of several interfaith forums for the campaign.
Their relationship spans decades. Pfleger has given money to Obama’s campaigns and Obama as a state legislator directed at least $225,000 towards social programs at St. Sabina’s, according to the Chicago Tribune.
A Las Vegas judge has issued a felony arrest warrant for a politically connected Chicago businessman whose ties to Democratic presidential contender Barack Obama have become an issue in the campaign.
Antoin “Tony” Rezko, who is standing trial on federal corruption charges in Chicago, is wanted in Las Vegas for failing to pay $472,275 in gambling debts to Caesars Palace and Bally’s and related processing fees to the Clark County district attorney’s office.
The total unpaid Strip bill comes to more than $800,000, however, because the Bellagio obtained a judgment of default against Rezko a year ago for not repaying $331,000 in gambling markers.
A federal jury has been deliberating Rezko’s fate the past two weeks following two months of testimony in a corruption trial linked to the administration of Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich.
The Obamanation is just that BZ, an abomination, and it’s folks like us that MUST point it out, repeatedly, often and any time we think of it, and for me that’s a daily function…
Obama cannot be allowed to ascend to the Oval Office, IT CANNOT BE ALLOWED, under ANY circumstance or condition…
And it’s not that I think McCain is anything to write home about, but much as I felt about Bush in the last 2 elections, McCain is the lesser of the evils, and while I feel that both Gore and Kerry were way less than desirable, are BOTH very liberal and not someone I’d want to hang out with, I never felt that they were EVIL…
I can’t say that about Obama, I feel an eerie sense of doom when I see and hear this person, as I said in my article that you so graciously linked, it’s almost a PRIMAL fear, I don’t fear any man face to face but in ALL my life, in service in some really strange places all over this world, I have NEVER had anyone that caused my hackles to go up like Obama does…
Bush is a moron, a dangerous moron but a moron none the less, Clinton was a whore monger that did his thinking with dick, G.H.W. Bush had designs on a One World Government and I will die believing that he wanted his moron scion to inherit that ‘shadow world’, and I DO believe it exists…
I feel a radiation of pure evil emanate from Obama, a spiritual evil that I have never felt before, we have had morons and whore mongers as president, we have had arrogant elitists as wannabe presidents but none of them radiated EVIL…
Obama is evil incarnate…
That is possibly the worst man to ever win a nomination (assuming he does.)
Assuming he does??
What’s gonna stop him??
Nothing short of death will keep that son of a bitch from being the DNC’s pick, he’s already the ‘golden boy’ of the moonbats on the left and the left wing media…
Unless he dies a sudden death, uh, maybe Hillary has a plan, just sayin’, but short of that, I seriously don’t think any assumptions are necessary…
I have to second Fred’s impression of Obama, how can you explain his popularity outside of some (dark) spiritual influence? the friends he keeps? no. his, ahem, platform? no. some call him a good speaker but shit, he can’t open his mouth without inserting his foot in it. he just promises crap everybody with any understanding of basic math knows he can’t deliver. yet the lefties just swoon in his presence, WTF?
BHO is the true personification of the ultimate Cult of Personality.
The Left simply wants a black, young president, plain and simple. And clearly over a female; women are now kicked to the curb — with one exception: I believe that had Hillary NOT been a Clinton AND was YOUNGER, there would have been more of a contest.
Absent that, the Left and the MSM in general couldn’t care less about facts, background, or the truth surrounding BHO. He is even more Teflon than the Clintons.
BZ
I guess the DNC should a put up Halle Berry or Beyonce Knowles, good looking black women! that’d be the ticket!
Black, female, and good looking! hell, who needs to know anything about management, foreign policy, history, culture or law? Halle Berry for President!!!
I am waiting for Fr. Pfleger to get called on the his Rezko dealings. Not that it will ever happen, of course, just some corporate land deals via Pfleger’s company…
Obama has no instinct of self-preservation, his views of disarming the US and stopping new weapons research is lethal as it is that research that makes wars less deadly. He is clueless on world affairs, and as close to a Transnational Progressive for President as anyone I’ve ever seen.
As MKH, I think, said: John McCain is the best Democrat running this year. I have problems with him, but he is no worse than HRC, and only incrementally better in a few areas.
I will vote to keep Obama from office… I endorse no one at this point as they all have weaknesses… Obama is Leftist Stuck on Stupid personified. He has been unable to cover his tracks and the MSM has taken to doing that for him, that and his adoring cult of personality. Last time this was witnessed on the world stage?
Germany in the late 1920’s and no good came of that.
Cuba in the late 1950’s and no good came of that.
And the litany of Jim Jones, David Koresh and Shoko Asahara.
Welcome to the end of the two party system… and it is frightening to have a political cult stand up now, at its very end.
