Barack Obama voted against the war spending bill, yet he desperately tried to defend his anti-American vote afterwards. I have some personal experience with Obama. As a favor to a Democratic committeeman, and certainly before I knew anything about Barack, I agreed to help protect him at two Senatorial campaign events in 2004, before I became Alan Keyes personal bodyguard. I eventually told the committeeman that I could not do anything more for him regarding Obama after I researched Obamas abysmal Illinois voting record (see below).
It was a life changing experience.
In response to one conservative questioner who asked Obama How do you feel about abortion?, Obama said I read my Bible every day and I oppose abortion. When a local Democrat asked the same question, he replied I believe in a womans right to choose. Hey, whats wrong with this picture? This same pattern of shameless pandering repeated itself over and over those two nights. It made me want to look up his voting record, for as Zell Miller said at the Republican National Convention, September 1st, 2004, Campaign talk tells people who you want them to think you are, how you vote tells people who you really are deep inside. Senator Obama said Friday "Let's put aside the fear mongering, and let's put aside the rhetoric, and let's put aside the politics, and let's come together and say all of us support the troops. That's our message to George Bush. Its all about hating Bush, not about supporting our troops.
Thats what its really all about, isnt it, making President Bush look bad? How can you support the troops and yet vote against funding for the equipment they need to stay alive and win the war? If I say that Im your friend yet I take you to court, I am not your friend. Such is the case with this chameleon. In my opinion, Obama is a shameless liar and is even worse than Hillary, since Hillary at least is somewhat up front with her opinions, while OScama will do and say anything that will get him elected president. What our troops deserve is whatever they need to accomplish the mission and stay alive, not a vote that compromises the missions and their very lives. They all have mothers. Obama has apparently forgotten this. Do you want such an apparently unprincipled man for your president? Consider what Democratic Senator Zell Miller said at the Republican national convention in 2004: Campaign talk tells people who you want them to think you are, how you vote tells people who you really are deep inside. This is what Barack Obama really wants... Obama is Pro-Abortion Obama Supports Gay Marriage Obama said I will oppose any proposal to amend the Constitution to ban gays and lesbians from marrying. (Windy City Times, 4/02/04) Obama is against Traditional Values Obama is Pro-Gay Obama voted AGAINST protecting CHILDREN from Internet Porn Obama is against Second Amendment Gun Freedoms Obama is an anti-gun extremist a gun grabber who even oppose in Illinois legal protections for law abiding citizens who defend their homes and families from an illegal intruder armed with a firearm. [SB 2165] Obama is against Tax Relief for Middle Income Homes Obama is for Human Cloning Obama voted against a bill to prohibit human cloning. [SB 649] Obama is Anti-Choice on Education Obama opposes school choice, home-schooling, and even opposed the tuition tax credit for public and private school families. [SB 1075] Many Christian or Faith-based schools would be excluded See this website to verify this information: http://www.ilga.gov/ Obamas voting record is worth serious consideration. Most people who meet Obama find him personable enough well spoken, well dressed, he carries himself well and is polite, etc. He may go to church, but so did Clinton. Obama has joined the Church of Christ; the version that has ordained gay priests. He may be well educated, but so was Clarence Thomas. He may even have a beautiful family, but so do many less than honorable men. Appearances can be deceiving. Obama may look the part, but it's a deception, an illusion. The above items spell out what Obama wants ~ Is this what you want? Daniel 4:17 says This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will, and setteth up over it the basest of men. [KJV]
Obamas Illinois voting record:
Since 2004, Obama has built a lengthy track record, which includes votes against the Marriage Protection Amendment, the Child Interstate Abortion Notification Act, and the confirmation of U.S. Supreme Court nominees Samuel Alito and John Roberts. Obama also voted for: the Embryonic Stem Cell Research Act and the Lautenberg Sex Ed Amendment (which promotes condoms and undermines abstinence-until-marriage curricula). The Family Research Council uncovered some good information. When they contacted Obama to urge his support on the federal marriage amendment, he wrote a letter back stating, "I agree marriage should be defined as the union between one man and one woman, as it is under Illinois state law.
However, while I oppose gay marriage, I am not convinced it is necessary to take the extraordinary step of amending the United States Constitution to prevent it." He concedes that the marriage debate is "important to many Illinoisans," yet FRC uncovered a letter Obama sent to Chicago's homosexual activists in 2004 stating,
"I opposed the Defense of Marriage Act in 1996. It should be repealed... When Congress passed DOMA, they were not interested in strengthening family values... [but] perpetuating division."

He will fold like a cheap tent once it is too late for any alternative. All the enemedia has to do is start asking him the hard questions which they refuse to ask him now.
Before he ran for Senate, Obama was on the board of The Joyce Foundation, which funds anti-2nd Amendment academics, among other “progressive” projects.

I like your hypothesis, but how does Silky Pony fit into your equation? Considering that her campaign has been the most politically tone-deaf comedy of errors in memory, doesn’t edwards stand to benefit from osama obama’s intervention?
I'm missing the point of that comparasion. Maybe I need more coffee.
But if he stumbles, the older adolescents may prefer an alternative who has actually served a full term and has a sucessful track record of deceiving swing voters in a relatively conservative state. Soros may not even mind so long as the silk pony adheres to his agenda. Heck, such a situation might even save him money since the silk pony is rich enough to finance much of the campaign with his trial lawyer buddies.
The Clinton machine, however, will not stand still for such a scenario.
