I know Obama is getting record crowds, estimated as high as 75,000 in Portland, OR. But is curiosity the same thing as support? Are these massive crowds going to vote en masse?
Obama is a draw, but is he selling liberalism like never before or are liberals simply coming out like never before? Given some of his more ludicrous statements one has to wonder how many Americans are ready for his hard core liberal stances:
Pitching his message to Oregon’s environmentally-conscious voters, Obama called on the United States to “lead by example” on global warming, and develop new technologies at home which could be exported to developing countries.
“We can’t drive our SUVs and eat as much as we want and keep our homes on 72 degrees at all times … and then just expect that other countries are going to say OK,” Obama said.
“That’s not leadership. That’s not going to happen,” he added.
SInce when is leadership kowtowing down to the world’s biases (usually generated by a malicious and liberal news media)? America is not killing the planet. As I noted in another post if you look at where the global warming IS, it is not over the American continents - it is over Asia where most of the human population lives.

What Obama is selling is not leadership. He is selling out America to international opinion.
Are we to gain permission from China or India on what our allocation should be for using our SUVs? Are we suppose to get permission from the UN as to when and how long we can set our thermostats to 72°? This is ridiculous.

When Hillary runs as an independent this Fall, who will receive more than 33% of the vote? McCain, Obama or Clinton?
Here we go again with the ‘global test’
Honey, may I make you a steak and egg breakfast?
I don’t know, Dear, better call France and Germany first.
This guy, Barack Hussein Obama, is an absolute kook.
Ditto, and so are his supporters.
That marxist POS and his America-hating wife use way more natural resources than my family does.
I have 2 words for Barack Hussein Obama, and they aren't "Happy Birthday".
I just got back from Europe, where all of the hotels have gone ‘green’ and you have to notify the front desk if you want your A/C turned on.
When they do turn it on, it only stays on for a certain period of time, a few hours tops. Then shuts itself off again, warranting another call to the front desk.
If you leave your room, it also turns off (you have to put your key in a little slot while in the room for it to work). This also warrants another call to get it turned back on.
Can anyone envision the potential for a Gov’t bureaucracy of A/C controllers? Call this 800 # every time you want the thing turned on. Plus, you’re only allowed a certain number of hours per month. Once you’re out, you’ve gotta buy carbon credits from the approved Gov’t vendor Gore, Inc...don’t worry, we’ll just accrue them into your yearly tax bill of 85% of your AGI.
Think I’m nuts?
This guy is stuck on stupid.

"JIMMY CARTER WITHOUT THE RABBITS"
By Scott Johnson
On May 14 Barack Obama held a private meeting at Macomb Community College with Hassan Qazwini. Qazwini is the leader of the Islamic Center of America in Dearborn. Debbie Schlussel describes Qazwini as Hezbollah's most important imam and agent in America.
Obama's meeting with Qazwini came to light because of a brief report in the Detroit Free Press (with the photo above) deriving from Qazwini and his mosque. The Obama campaign has not itself posted any news account or press release regarding the meeting on its Obama News page. A Google News search on "Obama Qazwini" shows that news of the meeting has essentially remained a closely guarded secret.
The Free Press account states that the two discussed the presidential election, the Arab-Israeli conflict, and the Iraq war, according to Qazwini. Schlussel asks why "this open anti-Semite and supporter of Israel's annihilation" was afforded the privilege of discussing "the Arab-Israeli conflict" in a private one-on-one meeting with Obama. Perhaps they were discussing what Obama referred to as the "legitimate claims" of Hamas and Hezbollah in his chat with David Brooks.
Schlussel has followed Qazwini's career for the past 10 years, decrying President Bush's meetings with Qazwini during the 2000 presidential campaign as well as in connection with the formulation of his faith-based initiative. Schlussel reports:
Qazwini is very open about his support for Palestinian homicide bombings, HAMAS, and Hezbollah. And he's a good friend of Hezbollah spiritual leader, Sheikh Mohammed Hussein Fadlallah--the man who issued the fatwa to Hezbollah terrorists to murder over 300 U.S. Marines and U.S. Embassy civilians in cold blood. Qazwini's mosque has held rallies and celebrations in support of Hezbollah, and many of Hezbollah's biggest money-launderers and agents in America are his congregants.Schlussel has more on her 1998 undercover visit to Qazwini's mosque at the time of Farrakhan's visit in her October 2001 post.When I went undercover to his mosque in 1998, he and others welcomed Nation of Islam chief racist Louis Farrakhan as "our dear brother" and "a freedom fighter." Qazwini applauded Farrakhan's anti-Semitic statements saying that Jews were the "forces of Satan" and that there needed to be a "jihad" on the American people.

We are running the gas fireplace today because IT’S TOO DARN COLD!!!!!!
The minute they come in and dictate where I have to set my thermostat, how much water I can use, where and when I can drive and the like is the day I join the militia. I don’t even own a gun!
“That marxist POS and his America-hating wife use way more natural resources than my family does.”
My family has a very small carbon footprint, and I’ve been green before green was the flavor of the month.
Think of the liberal celebrities and politicians and others who live extravagant lives...I wonder who lives a bigger carbon foot print, dems or republicans?

No, you’re not nuts.
As a small business owner, i felt it necessary to attend one of those ‘green economy’ conferences. It was totally anti-captialism.
The green collar jobs they promote is through the EPA, watchman for businesses.
For the inner city, “Replace their handguns with caulk guns”
Of course, to get this started they’re gonna need government mandates (voluntary of course, at first) The Carbon Taxes will end many small businesses. Surcharges on gross receipts don’t sound like much, but 3% off the top is a killer. (They don’t want caps and trades. Some may have more than others and that wouldn’t be ‘fair’)
Put American Business on that Endangered Species list.
So many Ron Paul supporters are going the way of Obama. The support for this man is overwhelming and frightening.
One of the things that keep me from crawling on the ledge (besides the checks and balances of our Constitution) is that this country is racist, and white racists aren’t going to “allow” him to become president if they can help it.
Sounds like the "sweater speech" to me.
BHO is going to make a superb dictator.
He acts like it’s a zero sum game, that we have all these things because we’ve taken them away from someone else. That’s ridiculous.
“But is curiosity the same thing as support? Are these massive crowds going to vote en masse? “
Wishful thinking. Why would anyone go and see someone they wouldn’t consider voting for?
“The guy’s a fool.”
Which is a moot point considering all the fools who are going to vote for him.
Obama isn't the only politician who could attract cheering crowds.
You never heard of scouting the enemy? If I wanted to find something to nail my political opponent with, I darn well wouldn't rely on ABCNBSCBSCNNFNC to tell me what he said at a political speech. I'd want to be there and hear (and record) it for myself.
This guy is scary, and must be kept out of the White House...
Why ever not ? I purchase gas, food and electricity from willing sellers at an agreed upon price...Given these conditions, I ought to be able to buy as much as I like.
I gotta say it.....Screw You!
Anyone who tries to take away my sport ute will be wearing tire tracks on his backside.
I don’t want it taken out of context. I ment it for obama. Sounded harsh to me also. This guy just gets me going and wish this is over so we can save our country from these traitors.
no prob,...I knew who you mean that “screw you” for.

Actually the USA is probably holding its own in new tech, not that the new tech amounts to a hill of beans, but the developing countries are doing fairly well with new tech and will probably go to non-petrofuel cars before the USA does and will export these tech wonders to the USA rather than vice versa.
If you want his hands off your thermostat after this election, you’d best move to Mexico; that should be safe until the American Union happens in 20 to 30 years.

Conservative American response:
Drive our SUV’s: Si se puede!
Eat lots of food: Si se puede!
A/C homes to 72 degrees: Si se puede!
So let me get this straight, if we eat all the food we want (which we grow ourselves), drive our SUVs and cool our houses, then poor folks in the 3rd world will suffer? How about lets help the 3rd world drive SUVs, eat more and cool their houses!
“If you want his hands off your thermostat after this election, you’d best move to Mexico; that should be safe until the American Union happens in 20 to 30 years.”
If he gets elected he’ll be out in 4 years, (or before) and so this is another reason I’m not gonna get hysterical over his possible win.
He can go the He** and take his scowling wife with him.
This is something you can count on with the elitists who “know better” about how the rest of us should live -
the rules won’t apply to them.
There are already remote control thermostats that you can “voluntarily” install at your home.
Voluntarily, for now.
