A President Like My Father...Caroline Kennedy endorses Obama
New York Times ^ | 01/27/2008 | Caroline Kennedy

Posted on 01/26/2008 6:44:42 PM PST by steadcom

OVER the years, I’ve been deeply moved by the people who’ve told me they wished they could feel inspired and hopeful about America the way people did when my father was president. This sense is even more profound today. That is why I am supporting a presidential candidate in the Democratic primaries, Barack Obama...

Hillary is doing the Redd Fox “this is the big one” routine.

It was an FAA check pilot that showed me how to engage the autopilot and use the heading bug to do a 180. She was a real pleasure to fly with.

I was going into Boca Raton one time and it’s really hard to find the airport so I advised the controller I was a transient and asked for help locating the airport. It’s a bear to find it from the east down there and there are at least half-a-dozen others all bunched up along a strip of heavily developed coast line. He responded by giving me the localizer freq for the active runway. I replied I could not accept an instrument clearance and he sort of laughed and told me just to use the localizer like I would a VOR and I would know when I approaching the runway. He was really nice about it and I learned something new that day!

Actually in the general, it shows Hillary SPLITTING white women, and losing the educated ones, like herself. Hillary’s support with women comes from the poor and uneducated ones. Go figure. Her OWN kind doesn’t like her. And a lot of white women have had some pretty hairy experiences with black men, and really do not want one in the WH. Just what I have observed.

My parents knew them. Wound up being disgusted by him. Also I have talked with Secret Service men who protected them, ad they confirmed it all. They DETESTED JFK, but loved Jackie.

Whatever, JFK was never a Hitler lover, or a Communist lover, for that matter.

If John Kennedy had lived, he’d be just as far to the left today as his brother Ted. It’s just that the country has been on an almost unstoppable downward slide to the left since the mid-sixties, so people like John Kennedy & Martin Luther King are often considered “conservative” because they were tragically cut down before Cultural Marxism set in. Had they lived, they’d have become just as radicalized (and in fact, King was well on his way to doing that, if you’ve ever seen his anti-Vietnam War speech).

who gives a crap about all these 60s icons anyhow.

this is just another media invention that young folks have been brainwashed with

no conservative worth a crap should believe all that Camelot garbage or for that matter all the now conventional wisdom that 1960s socialist activists were in reality heroes.

it’s a cruel damned joke perpetuated by boomers in the media and academia

I have a few hours in that model and it’s really not a good airplane for someone who is not very familiar with it and who has quite a few hours. The ether is very unforgiving.

Most Democrat females are total airheads. One little brainwashed liberal chick wrote an editorial in my university’s newspaper endorsing Obama. She rambled on and on about how “awesome” both Hillary and Obama are, and how “awesome” it is that our next president could be either a woman or someone “of African ancestry”. She said it was the hardest decision of her young life, but she had decided to support Obama over Hillary because it would show the world that America is a “rainbow” and that we’re now a truly multi-cultural nation, which in turn will lead to world peace, and harmony, and singing Kum-Ba-Ya.

My guess is that the educated (ahem) Democrat females are all aglow with all this multi-cult nonsense, while the uneducated ones see Hillary as the one most likely to “take care of them”.

Yes, ans some Jews DO get that terrorists want to kill THEM especially. That’s why I am really weirded out by idiots like Barbra Striesand defending Saddam Hussein. He would have killed her ON SIGHT.

He is ObaMessiah. He gives a beautiful speech last night. http://www.realclearpolitics.com/articles/2008/01/barack_obamas_south_carolina_v.html
I mean, platitudes, nothing much to object to. But what kind of policies would come in his wake? Based on his record, we could expect most of the following:

-More funding of Planned Parenthood.
-Socialist medicine including abortion, pills for teens, etc., for free!
-More explicit sex ed in high school. Eventually in junior high!!
-ACLU-type removal of evidences of America’s Christian heritage.
-Same-sex marriage. Pressure put on more companies and churches either to stop opposing homosexuality, or to actively support or endorse it.
-Socialist equalizing of people’s incomes—or at least lots of little attempts to move things even more in that direction.
-Screws turned on home schools, Christian schools and private schools in general.
-Jihadists around the world will see his election as a green light to pick up their tempo. (This may be the least likely outcome of any on the list. But still fairly likely.)

If that sounds extreme, consider that not only did Obama and Clinton oppose Alito—pretty much all the Dems did—but he also opposed Roberts and filibustered Alito. http://www.senate.gov/legislative/LIS/roll_call_lists/roll_call_vote_cfm.cfm?congress=109&session=2&vote=00001 So even a mild judicial conservative, which is what Alito and Roberts are, is intolerable to Obama. He only wants judges who will continue the court-led deconstruction of American society!

My ex also said that to fly a Saratoga, you have to be intimately familiar with the plane, and an expert flyer, whihc Jr. wasn’t. I don’t think he was instrument trained, either.

“Most white women will not vote for a black man, even Dem women. Look at the SC exit polls.”

Actually Obama owes his election to the Senate to his attractiveness to white women, who gave him his margin of victory in the Illinois Democrat primary. His own white mother was attracted to black men, and Obama’s political team discovered through focus groups that many Illinois white women felt the same about him. In his race against Hillary, however, white women wanting to elect one of their own President is a stronger motivation than their attraction to Obama.

Speaking of this clown “Obama.” Is he the one whose ancestor flew around the pyramids or whose ancestor gave Edison the idea for all of his inventions?

And Democrat women are also FOREVER screaming about how they “hate the white male, the white male is evil.” They sound like parrots. Maybe they should look at the sex crimes stats or assault against women stats, and they will find that white males are RARELY responsible.

Yep! The New York Times will gladly print our military secrets but they won't print actual FBI crime stats, broken down by race, for all the money in the world.

Gee, I wonder if Oprah will ever do a show on that topic?

Since societygirl cites her ex, I'll do that too. Highly educated white female who supports Hillary.
