Obama's promise of a new majority (DON'T LABEL ME LIBERAL...)
International Herald Tribune ^ | Sunday, March 23, 2008 | Robin Toner

WASHINGTON: At the core of Senator Barack Obama's presidential campaign is a promise that he can transcend the starkly red-and-blue politics of the last 15 years, end the partisan and ideological wars, and build a new governing majority.

To achieve the change the country wants, he says, "we need a leader who can finally move beyond the divisive politics of Washington and bring Democrats, independents and Republicans together to get things done."

Obama’s “unity” message was made clear in his speech about race. He threw whitey under the bus and he threw MLK under the bus. He told us to judge him and his paster not by the content of their character but by the color of his skin. Obama claims that as the product of a mixed marriage he is the uniter because he has the blood of both black and white running through his veins. He is more than a liberal, he is an arrogant snot who lived a very privileged life while claiming otherwise. I would never vote for a man who claims wearing a lapel pin with the American Flag represents false patriotism, and then, when he needs it, he give a speech on unity in front of not one or two American flags, but EIGHT of them. Obama is a liberal of the worst/most common kind. He is a hypocrite who does not see America as the greatest country in the world.

This is so rich with irony it's dripping. He needs to judged by both the company he keeps and his limited voting record to date. When Obama Lama Ding Dong graced us with his opinions by way of votes, that being when he didn’t abstain on most bills of any importance, he has showed us that by any objective measure his political philosophy is extremely liberal, if not out and out socialist. Sorry Barry, but if the shoe fits wear it!

I hope he chokes on it by the time this is all over and done.

Nice try, Barry, but you have NO history of being bi-partisan in your whole political career. Crap, you rarely ever show up for work in the Senate. When you are to the left of Hillary, how the heck do you expect to be bi-partisan, you fraud? Go back to being a "community organiser" (paid race hustler).

Hussein Obama's minister turned the Dems' run for President into party's train wreck!

Devastatingly, Steele writes, Obama has "fellow-traveled with a hate-filled, anti-American black nationalism all his adult life, failing to stand and challenge an ideology that would have no place for his own (white) mother."

Just What Did Obama Know About Wright's Past Sermons? (Plenty)

“Barack Obama either agreed with what was preached from the Trinity pulpit, or he tuned it out and stayed around pretending to for political reasons. To say he stayed for 20 years but doesn't agree with Wright's preaching is incredible denial. It'd be like a man buying White Sox season tickets for 20 years, attending the games, and saying he's not a fan.”

Obama’s supporters want us to ignore this story… just push it under the rug. While they’ll align Republicans with any obscure pastor who does or says something controversial, they’re trying to convince us that Obama’s 20-year long close relationship with Wright, including his effective endorsement of him, his church and rhetoric with a $22,500 donation in 2006 is irrelevant.

“When Obama decided against wearing an American flag pin, we may all have been a bit too quick to accept his rationale, too quick to find that issue unimportant. Now, that American flag pin has gotten a lot bigger for a lot of us, especially in light of what may have been and may still be Obama’s deeper, and, perhaps, secret, less than patriotic beliefs about America.”

“Wright says that blacks can’t be expected to sing God Bless America because of racism. Obama doesn’t salute the flag during the National Anthem. That sure strikes me as an amazing coincidence since Obama swears he never heard Wright say anything against America.”

Here is the link to the Star Spangled Banner video with obama standing there without his hand over his heart...

Notice her ear ring!
