MSM and Obama Supporters Must Get Heads Out Of The Sand.
Say What You Really Mean ^ | April 23, 2008

Posted on 04/23/2008 9:14:54 PM PDT by 2ndDivisionVet

Obama supporters and MainStream media (msm) have their heads in the Sand. It is no wonder that he took such a shellacking in Pennsylvania. There are a whole host of reasons why Barack Obama should not be President. How many missteps and gaffes does he get before his supporters, and the main stream media wake up and smell the coffee. This guy is just not capable of winning in the general election.

John McCain and the conservative special interest groups will mop the floor with him. I am simply amazed that this guy is still being considered for President. To say April has been a bad month for Barack Obama is the understatement of the decade. I believe his campaign is beginning to show signs of a meltdown.

New controversies come out on Obama and it seems the msm cannot move fast enough to make excuses, and its like they go into damage control. The same is true for Obama's supporters who don't want to be troubled with the facts, blindly dismissing as they go on the attack. His supporters begin trashing, and in some cases threatening the sources, as the online forums and blogs get flooded with Barack Obama supporters. Many of his supporters cannot tell you what he really stands for, or cannot tell you a single accomplishment the Senator has made.

The following things that have come out on Barack Obama taken individually and as a whole bring up many questions, concerns and shed great doubts on Barack Obama's character, integrity,and most importantly his qualifications to become President.

1) He is the most liberal Senator in the U.S. Senate. He is further left than Bernie Sanders an admitted Socialist. Yet the msm spins and formats stories as to make him look like such a moderate and mainstream. The truth is if they would do stories that bring up his far left wing voting record while in the Illinois Senate, the American voter would be able to see just how far left and radical that he is. He was the lone vote in his State's Senate against a bill barring early release of Sexual offenders. He voted for sex education for children as early as kindergarten. As a committee chairman he prevented the born alive infant protection act from ever getting a hearing or a vote from the full Senate. On another bill attempting to ban partial birth abortions, he voted present. There are many others, but why haven't the media brought his voting record to light?

2)In his associations with Rev. Wright and how he could ever let his children be exposed with such divisive anti-American, anti-white hate speech? Oh the media showed the tapes, they had to as they were out of the bag. They held that story down as long as they could. They knew about it long before it came forth. Sean Hannity did an interview a year ago with Rev. Wright.With a lot of the msm coverage it was all about down playing, trying to justify and controlling the damage. Where were the tough questions? How could he be associated for so long and give so much money to such a racist Pastor? saying such things as Not God Bless America, but GD America. How the U.S. Government invented the aids virus and how could he justify keeping such long deep associations with a man who believes and preaches such things. How the congregation seemed to be in total agreement and how he could tolerate that for 20 years if he truly found those kind of sermons offensive? They just laid down and took his word that he wasn't in attendance and after he contradicted himself on that, Was he called to task? No they gave him another one of their famous passes.

3) Tony Resko, the Syrian born Chicago indicted Businessman who contributed heavily to Barack Obama's State and Federal Senate races. This was not just a distant relationship a politician may have with a donor. Their ties went deep and very serious questions, explanations, and facts have yet to come out. We have but scratched the surface on this one. But the fact remains that Resko has been targeted by the Federal government on money laundering and extortion. Is Barack as corrupt and as full of hate as his partner, Mr. Resko?, No in depth reporting from the msm on the depth of his involvement.

4) William Ayers who Barack Obama served on a board with and they made many decisions together that Tony Resko benefited greatly, financially speaking, from. William Ayers a totally unrepentant terrorist from the 1960s and 1970s. This man was involved in many bombings against the Pentagon and the U.S. Capitol. His group also plotted the overthrow of the U.S. Government. Ayers served for over 3 years with Obama on the board of directors of The Woods Fund, a Non- Profit organization. Has the media done any in depth investigative reporting on this? There are some very serious questions about their relationship. The company you keep says a lot about you. What do these associations say about Barack Obama? The media if they had any creditability, would be all over these stories. If John McCain had a long similar association with someone who had been involved with bombing abortion clinics, the msm would be on it so relentlessly that he would have to drop out of the race on that one issue alone.

5) Michele Obama made a statement that for the first time in her life she was proud of this country. She made that statement twice and instead of really pursuing this and doing an investigation, and bringing a more in depth analysis of this the msm let her and Barack's back pedaling be the final word. I as an American have never went a day in my life that I wasn't very proud to be an American. You talk to anyone who has spent any amount of time overseas and several kiss the ground when they finally arrive back into The U.S. In Feb. 2004 She sent out a fundraising letter that actually stated her concern over the rise of conservatism in the country and the so-called partial birth-abortion was a legitimate medical procedure that should be protected.

6) NAFTA. Barack Obama has said in his speeches at campaign events that NAFTA needs to be looked at and renegotiated etc, and at the same time his senior economic advisor sent a message to the Canadian government that Obama's NAFTA bashing should be viewed as Political positioning, while engaged in running for President and Canada did not have to worry about this having anything to do with his actual policy.

7) Obama showed how little regard he had for human life at a town hall meeting in Johnstown, Pennsylvania. Barrack told the crowd that he didn't want his daughters to be "punished with a baby" if they made a mistake, of a sexual nature. The statement taken with his extreme Pro Partial-birth abortion voting record, shows the honest observer how radical he really is. The msm silence on his far left stances is shameful.

8) The lies, and contradictions that Barack Obama has done in explaining away or excusing the above, and many other issues, bring up serious questions about his judgement, his integrity,his patriotism, and just how left wing and radical he really is. They say that birds of a feather flock together, and you are judged by the company you keep. What remains to be discovered about the character, judgement and depth of corruption of this Illinois Senator.

9) His statement out in San Francisco at a closed door elitist fundraiser. He basically said that the "bitter" middle class working people cling to their guns, and bibles, and turn their frustration on immigrants, minorities and those from different cultures; When faced with economic woes and seeing their jobs going over seas. He said he could have used better words and that his words were taken out of context. For one thing it is illegal immigrants that a vast majority of the American people are frustrated about. The one thing that wouldn't have been offensive about that statement he used the word immigrants, It's illegal aliens Mr. Obama! that part you could have been right on. So it seems to me that those words he used in San Francisco were chosen very carefully as he knows those elitists love to attempt to make the working class appear bigoted, by saying they are anti-immigrant, when we are anti-illegal aliens.

10) He spent well over 11 million dollars in the Pennsylvania primary alone. The media, who are for him, and out to get him elected, have been totally silent about his spending. They were screaming from the rooftops when Mitt Romney was spending large amounts of money on primaries, yet with Obama they have left him alone on this, and if they do report it, it's just in a matter of fact way, or spun in a positive light, like it is just his popularity with the grassroots. No attempt to open the can of worms, or acknowledge the smell of rat that goes with all this money.

11) His lack of military service. This was a big issue during the 2000 election, because it was a republican George Bush who didn't have the amount of military service credentials that the main stream media thought he should have. Whenever the media thinks that is a weakness of a republican they love to run stories into the ground on them. They sure made an issue out of it while Mitt Romney was in the race, but once that nomination got settled they have let Barack Obama totally off the hook. I guess they should be on Hillary Clinton as well on this being they like to think they are for equal treatment of the sexes.

I won't even go into the other issues like his whining, and drug use, or racist statements like "typical white" or throwing his grandmother under the bus in his race speech.

I tend to agree, but I'm not sure it matters.

Remember the OJ Jury? Now imagine if it had 100 million people on it.

The difference between the OJ case and Osama Obama is that we’re talking about the future of our children and grandchildren; we’re talking about the security of the United States of America; and we’re talking about the possibility of another World War. If the American people don’t wake up to this reality, we’re certainly doomed.

“Obama supporters and MainStream media (msm) have their heads in the Sand.”

I agree 100% he should not even be considered for president and most of his supporters are just plain politically ignorant. If they had any idea who BHO really is and what he stands for they would not even consider voting for him.

On the other hand I disagree with the premise that the MSM has their head in the sand. The MSM knows exactly who Obama is and what he stands for, which is not inline with main stream Americans to say the least. In my opinion the “pass” the media has given Obama is proof positive that the MSM is not “liberal” or “biased” but in fact they are as radical as Obama and the people with which he associates.
