Reasons to vote for Obama:

Supports infanticide.
Will stand by his muslim brothers over the US
Wife hates America
Sat in an America-hating, racist “church” for 20 years
Bought a $1.2MM house in Chicago thanks to Tony Rezko
Thinks Clarence Thomas is not qualified to sit on SCOTUS
Friends with terrorist Bill Ayers
Has never held a management position in his life
American citizenship is questionable
Attended schools in Indonesia where he was listed as a “muslim”
Voted “Present” 130 times while in the IL state legislature
Was called a constitutional law professor when, in fact, he was a lecturer

What’d I leave out?

You might want to CC the Obama campaign as well.. with over 300 “foreign” advisers on his staff... you would think someone would have said... ahhh maybe that statement isn't such a good idea (or maybe his teleprompter froze again).

To equate what we did in Iraq to what Russia did to Georgia is so idiotic it should automatically disqualify whoever said it. Saddam Hussein was a vicious dictator who was hell bent on acquiring weapons of mass destruction, invading neighboring countries, ignoring UN resolution and supporting terrorism. Georgia was a peaceful Democracy. I can’t even believe O’Bambi would be naive enough to try to make this point.

How about that.

It really doesn’t get any better than that, does it?

Let’s review the bidding.

Iraq invades Kuwait, we drive Iraq out.

Iraq funds Al Qaeda, and gives them a place to train.

Al Qaeda wipes out 3000 people in NYC in one day and adds untold billions in additional costs to the average commercial air flight, not to mention the other economic damage.

We then re-invade Iraq, and Afghanistan, in a bid to wipe out Al Qaeda.

But, we’re the invaders.

The Russians invade Georgia while their top people are on vacation (why you would go on vacation whilst the Russians amassed troops on your N. border is beyond me).

Recall that the Chechyans are separatists too, yet somehow the S. Ossetian’s aspirations of living free from Georgia have a bit more merit.

OK, rant complete. The guy succeeded in doing what the RNC could not - make McCain electable.

There is simply no safe alternative.

I responded in the article’s response section. You don’t have to register.

We cannot afford amateur hour foreign policy when we are engaged all across the globe with potential threats. I swear Putin will have a wet dream if Obama is elected.

"...the United States, he said, should set a better example on that front, too."

Hey Barium, did you ever hear that the U.S. went to the U.N. prior to sending troops into Iraq? No? Well, I didn't think so Mr. Community Organizer.

Obambi: “The Philippines, Midway Islands, etc. were sovereign territories of Imperial Japan. Normandy and Sicily were sovereign territories of the Third Reich. We should have left them alone, and avoided provoking their legitimate fascist rulers”.

We had no business invading France on June 6, 1944.

As if there is ANY comparison between Iraq and Georgia... OR, the US and Neo-Soviet Russia for that matter...

Apparently not satisfied with his plunging poll numbers, Obama wants to try to to turn it into a bungee jump.

I think somebody forgot to program Barry’s teleprompter with what he was supposed to say, instead of what he actually thinks.

One of the problems with Iraq (in my opinion) is that the U.S. DIDN’T charge in. I remember watching resolution after resolution. Inspectors in...inspectors out. Deadlines come....deadlines gone. We also had a “coalition of the willing” when we went in. What does Russia’s coalition consist of?
