LAS CRUCES, N.M. (AP) - Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama will join Governor Richardson when he speaks to veterans and their families in Las Cruces on Memorial Day. But the event will not be open to the public, as the campaign had initially said.

The campaign now says veterans and their families will be able to attend the town hall-style event only if they receive invitations.

Obama's visit will be his first since the February Fifth Democratic caucus.

The candidate's wife, Michelle Obama, will be in Albuquerque and Santa Fe on Tuesday for two fundraisers. She also has no public events planned.

What if you had a Memorial Day Parade . . . by invitation only. Obama’s elitist agenda continues.

The campaign now says veterans and their families will be able to attend the town hall-style event only if they receive invitations.

And only after their views (against the war, of course) have been fulling examined. Don't want any hard questions about his stance on the war.

Invitation = empty meeting hall = no media allowed. I can’t believe many in the military would ever attend such a thing. Moreover, he doesn’t want the media to show a vacant room.

I am not sure that room will be empty since Obama leads all candidates in donations from members of the Military.

Gosh, I guess that means the crowd would be too sparse to further his image of attracting thousands upon thousands.

Will they be frisked for recording devices, in case of any more “Bittergate” type stumbles by the Obmanation?

This AP photo of Obama in Oregon may be doctored to give the impression of the crowd size is larger than it is.

Suspected areas are circled:

I believe that crowd picture was doctored, too - several things made me wonder the first time I saw it. The fuzziness of the horizontally middle being worse than the the horizontally top - which is farther away, for one. I’ve done things like this myself in Paint Shop Pro using duplicate layers to make a larger background scene - nothing political, just innocent stuff. :-) With your drawn circles as a start, I can see several more possible small merge points across the middle and right side top. It shouldn’t be that solid and straight at the outskirts, and the crowd is too far up into the trees. (Which I guess is appropriate.)

Even though Hussein had access to an entire rock concert audience for this, it still looks faked.

QUOTES FROM BARACK HUSSEIN OBAMA’S BOOKS

.

Disdain for whites:
.

From Dreams of My Father, “ I FOUND A SOLACE IN NURSING A PERVASIVE SENSE OF GRIEVANCE AND ANIMOSITY AGAINST MY MOTHER’S RACE”.

From ‘Dreams of my Father’, “THE EMOTION BETWEEN THE RACES COULD NEVER BE PURE...THE OTHER RACE WOULD ALWAYS REMAIN JUST THAT; MENACING, ALIEN AND APART.”

From ‘Dreams of My Father’,
“I CEASED TO ADVERTISE MY MOTHER’S RACE AT THE AGE OF 12 OR 13, WHEN I BEGAN TO SUSPECT THAT BY DOING SO I WAS INGRATIATING MYSELF TO WHITES.”

From Dreams Of My Father, “NEVER EMULATE THE WHITE MEN and brown men whose fates didn’t speak to my own. IT WAS INTO MY FATHER’S IMAGE, THE BLACK MAN, SON OF AFRICA, THAT I’D PACKED ALL THE ATTRIBUTES I SOUGHT IN MYSELF”.

From Dreams Of My Father:
“THAT HATE HADN’T GONE AWAY,” he wrote, BLAMING “WHITE PEOPLE— some cruel, some IGNORANT, sometimes a single face, sometimes just a faceless image of a system claiming power over our lives.”

From Dreams Of My Father;
“There were enough of us on campus to constitute a tribe, and when it came to hanging out many of us chose to function like a tribe, staying close together, traveling in packs,” he wrote. “IT REMAINED NECESSARY TO PROVE WHICH SIDE YOU WERE ON, TO SHOW YOUR LOYALTY TO THE BLACK MASSES, TO STRIKE OUT, AND NAME NAMES. “

From Dreams Of My Father, “I HAD GROWN ACCUSTOMED , everywhere, TO SUSPICIONS BETWEEN THE RACES.”

.

Appreciation of Islam:
.
Quote from Barack Obama’s book, Dreams Of My Father:
“THE PERSON WHO MADE ME PROUDEST OF ALL, though, was [HALF BROTHER ] ROY .. HE CONVERTED TO ISLAM” .

From ‘Dreams of my Father’, “IN INDONESIA, I HAD SPENT TWO YEARS AT A MUSLIM SCHOOL.”
“I STUDIED THE KORAN.”

From ‘Audacity of Hope: “LOLO (Obama’s step father) FOLLOWED .. ISLAM...” “I LOOKED TO LOLO FOR GUIDANCE”.

From ‘The Audacity Of Hope, “I WILL STAND WITH THE MUSLIMS SHOULD THE POLITICAL WINDS SHIFT IN AN UGLY DIRECTION.”

From The Audacity Of Hope, “WE ARE NO LONGER just A CHRISTIAN NATION..We ARE also a Jewish nation, A MUSLIM NATION, a Buddhist nation, a Hindu nation, and a nation of nonbelievers.”

Never apologize for them.

Never forget.

Merge points and Fuzziness. Yup.

and the crowd is too far up into the trees.

To make it appear that the crowd goes on and on until they are out of sight.
