Texas Fred had a very salient post this past week about BHO.
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.
So what has truly BHO truly learned? Very little, I submit.
But, further, here is what you must also know about BHO:
- 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;
Oddly enough, on his own, Obama’s tax returns between 2000 and 2004 show that Barack and his wife Michelle donated less than 1% of their $1.2 million income to charity. In 2005, their charitable giving jumped to 4.7%, due to his book royalties. In 2006 they donated 6.1%, including a $22,500 gift to Trinity United, the Chicago church led by Pastor Jeremiah Wright.
But wait; there’s more about the Trinity United church.
If Pastor Jeremiah Wright didn’t blow up your skirts in terms of the TUC, then their new pastor presents a greater conundrum. That is to say, the new pastor is even crazier than the old guy.
And the new pastor is white; well, in terms of strict melanin.
This past Sunday, the new Pastor Michael Pfleger at the Trinity United Church left Pastor Wright completely behind in terms of racism and extremism. First, check out this YouTube video:

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.”
I’m sorry, dear readers, I cannot write these things if I were in my most fevered dreams.
The racist Jeremiah Wright was replaced by an equally-racist but a more melanin-challenged racist White Boy named Michael Pfleger. This cannot be nothing more than a joke. Vanilla Ice was a joke. Michael Pfleger is a joke. He cannot seem to acquire sufficient air. And he cannot seem to acquire an honest Black Man accent because — shock of shocks! — he’s not a Black Man! He’s nothing more than a shallow parody of himself. And a betrayer of his race. This will brand me horribly. But it is as I espouse. Is it the roar of the crowd that I hear? The crowd of racists in a church? Obama’s church?
But his congregation, as shallow and stupid and insipid as they appear, seem to be purchasing every syllable from Pfleger’s gullet.
Jake Tapper said:
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.
And yes.
These are facts COMPLETELY and PURPOSELY IGNORED by the MainStream media.
Imagine that.
