Resume of: B HUSSEIN OBAMA

1.) COLB
Proven fake by more than one source
2.) Sketchy childhood
We know some details - Lots of gaps - muslim?
3.) College thesis has vanished
Was it anything like Michele’s?
4.) Overseas travel
Pakistan? Why? On what passport?
5.) Law records
What cases did he represent?
6.) Senate records disappeared
What was he trying to hide?
7.) Associations
Rev Wright, Ayers, Rezko, Michele etc.
8.) Senate voting record
That speaks for itself
9.) SCOTUS
Who would his choices be?
10.) Proven Liar
11.) Inexperience
12.) Racist, Sexist, Radical, Marxist views

His judgement in the people he associates with and his radical/marxist views scare the hell out of me.

Did BOR ask Hussein about his support of infanticide?

Bill let Obama get by with too much.

All that said, when you read the transcript, it’s damning.

“Here’s the bottom line. This guy did something despicable 40 years ago.” I guess when you blow people up, and try to blow up and burn children, it’s despicable.

Just by saying oh, its “forty years ago” Obama shows how he’s willing to excuse absolute evil.

And your point being.... ;>)

We need to set up a fill-in-the-blank viewers’ guide for the debates so the “O”, Oprah’s man, doesn’t dazzle them with BS and dodge the blanks.

BOR did a pretty good job of taking Obama down. I don’t think he answered one question directly. The debates should rock!!

It was a very short interview, so not much could be said, and Obama did what he could to deflect as much as possible - and he did a very good job of that, he isn’t that bad in interviews. I don’t think you could expect much from this sort of thing unless the subject is incapable, clueless or deliberately wants to let something out.

Left out was the matter of who hired him/paid him out of the Annenberg funds. Ayers controlled those funds, and the implication that it was a long-term ongoing relationship.

Left out also was the implication that Obama approved of Ayers educational policies, which is another interesting topic.

On the contrary, I think he did quite well.

You have to consider that he is answering for the sake of an uncommitted audience, not us - we are hostile, and we aren’t likely to cut him any slack, but thats not most people.

In a debate he may indeed come off as wishy-washy, pettifogging or untrustworthy, he certainly is capable of that, but I am not convinced he will do that badly.

Ayers and Dohrn--who runs a program at Northwestern's law school--have become well regarded members of Chicago's civic community. That says worlds about the Chicago civic community and almost nothing about Ayers and Dohrn.

He was lying outright about Wright. Bald faced lies which even contradicted himself when he previously called Wright his spiritual mentor.

I have read that he took Wright’s sermons with him to harvard. I guess that they were all about love for your fellow man.

Osama bin Laden has been good for nearly a decade. So it’s really no big deal any more. Maybe he could teach at the University of Chicago too.

I heard someone suggest O’Reilly should have retorted, “what if Bill Ayers had firebombed a black church 40 years ago? Would your answer be the same?” Now that would expose the hypocrisy.

Nothing civil about civic.

It would be fiting, on 9/11, for Obama to either insist that Ayers renounce his past violence, or else recommend a tenured professorship for Osama Bin Laden at his local university and tea salon of choice. In 40 years, Osama might be remembered as a genial “organizer.” He might even be chic in certain circles.

Told OReilly he didn’t call him a spiritual mentor. Couldn’t believe it.

I didn't see any of the interview...can't get Fox, but just reading the transcript, I kept thinking “How could anyone vote for a person who gave these kinds of answers...excuses, evasions...

I'm not a fan of Bill O’Reilly’s at all, but I admit, I thought he did a pretty good job....did he get down to the nitty gritty on some things we've all been wanting answers to...no, but Hussein Obama was shown to be the evasive, empty suit many of us have thought him to be...I sincerely hope many of his misguided supporters had their eyes and ears opened....and are “re thinking” their decision as to who they want to be the next President of our nation.

“How could anyone vote for a person who gave these kinds of answers...excuses, evasions...”

Because the way we process information depends so much on the groundwork thats in already before we receive it. Different education, experience, personality, and of course any previous information will color our judgement. The same fact will generate different conclusions in different people.

This is the root of the big mistakes the media and the left have consistently made, they are unable to put themselves in someone elses shoes and see things from their eyes. It is of course due to the sin of pride (one of those sins that often gets punished in this life), in psychology-speak, its narcissism. Its a plague on that side of the culture gap.

What I get from this is that Obama can be a clever evader. We should not assume that when McCain gets him in a debate he will self destruct. He might, but then he might not.
