...the moniker ‘Obama Lama’ seems quite appropriate.

And, so much more respectful than my favorite, "Yobama".

"That’s enough. That’s a show of disrespect to me." Obama camp demands an end to McCain backers' outrageous, unacceptable, unpresidential, outrageously unacceptable, and unacceptably unpresidential behavior.

Headline:

McCain ads to be banned?
Obama files complaints with FEC, FCC
"'Vote for McCain' too divisive."

Washington, D.C. "Million uniters for America" march planned.
"McCain is misusing the democratic process," Michelle Obama said today . . .

Barack Hussein Obama is potentially more dangerous to America than Osama bin Laden.

Bin Laden cannot easily defeat a determined and aggressive America, but Obama can turn America's efforts into a full scale rout.

It is absurd: how can the most advanced society in human history fall to death cultists? Well, who do you think advanced societies fall to? Something worse, something barbarous, something prepared to fight when you're not. - Mark Steyn, in America Alone

Barack Obama follows Black Liberation Theology. In BLT there is no sense of personal sin, except failing to rebel against the hegemony of the white oppressors, the US government and the white culture. Black Liberationists do not support the use of military by the US for any purpose.

Think appeasement.

Maybe this is why Obama was so sensitive about Bush’s remarks:

Obama Fires Foreign Policy Adviser for Meeting With Hamas

May 09, 2008 7:57 PM

The Times of London reports that Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., has fired one of his foreign policy advisers — Robert Malley — for meeting with the Palestinian group Hamas, which the U.S. State Department classifies as a terrorist organization.

“He was one of literally hundreds of informal, outside advisors,” Obama spokesman Bill Burton told ABC News, confirming the Times account.

Malley, a former official in the administration of former President Bill Clinton, is Middle East and North Africa program director for the International Crisis Group, a conflict resolution group.

“I’ve never hidden the fact that in my job with the International Crisis Group I meet all kinds of people,” Malley told the Times.

Malley has been a criticized in the past as insufficiently supportive of Israel — the New Republic’s Marty Peretz has defended Obama as pro-Israel but assailed Malley — though several Clintonistas have defended him from the charge.

He participated in the failed 2000 Camp David accords and said that Yasser Arafat was not the only one to blame for those talks breaking down.

**

Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., has been attacking Obama over the fact that a senior member of Hamas praised the Democrat.

In an interview on CNN, Obama called the attack, “Offensive, and I think it’s disappointing. Because John McCain always says ‘I am not going to run that kind of politics,’ and to engage in that kind of smear is unfortunate, particularly because my policy toward Hamas has been no different than his. I’ve said it’s a terrorist organization and we should not negotiate with them unless they recognize Israel, renounce violence, and unless they are willing to abide by previous accords between the Palestinians and the Israelis. So for him to toss out comments like that I think is an example of him losing his bearings as he pursues this nomination. We don’t need name calling in this debate.”

McCain top aide Mark Salter then took issue with Obama saying McCain was “losing his bearings.”

“First, let us be clear about the nature of Sen. Obama’s attack today: He used the words ‘losing his bearings’ intentionally, a not particularly clever way of raising John McCain’s age as an issue,” Salter write in a memo. “This is typical of the Obama style of campaigning.”

Apparently, one Carter term wasn't enough of a lesson for the country.

Too many have forgotten, or never been taught. I haven't.

Mark Steyn always nails it. Of course few people will read his comments because the MSM tries to hide them, just as they do with the truth about the oil/gasoline problem.

I have emailed links to every article I find to everyone in my address book trying to get the word out.

I watched this speech out of motivated self interest. It was one of the best of a long string of "bests". The RECEPTION the man got from the Knesset brought ters to my eyes for two reasons: it was powerful, beautiful and well spoken, and he doesn't get a reception like that HERE. It takes the parliament of a FOREIGN COUNTRY upon who's survival the rest of the world's lies to get the enthusiasm he used to get here before the "real conservatives" threw him under the bus.

I'm a lifelong conservative. "We" conservatives disgust me.

That would make a most excellent campaign commercial.

Good post. I have also seen him prancing about on stage with a gotcha over Al Qaida in Iraq and McCain’s supposed misstatement. His age (Obama’s) and lack of sense-of-self does not wear well. He comes off as a foolish little man.

Honestly. What a bunch of self-absorbed ninnies.

A more succinct and on-target description of the Democratic leadership I have never read!

Uncivilized nations like torturing dissidents, killing civilians, bombing villages, doing doing doing. It’s easier to get the doers to pass themselves off as talkers then to get the talkers to rouse themselves to do anything. And, as the Iranians understand, talks provide a splendid cover for getting on with anything you want to do. If, say, you want to get on with your nuclear program relatively undisturbed, the easiest way to do it is to enter years of endless talks with the Europeans over said nuclear program. That’s why that Hamas honcho endorsed Obama: They know he’s their best shot at getting a European foreign minister installed as president of the United States.

The man is a genius!

The Democrats would like nothing more than to grab the reigns of the country’s foreign policy, drive it right off the cliff with there naivete and cowardice, and then, after they’ve utterly and irretrievabley screwed it to the proverbial wall, turn around and blame Bush for the bloody fiasco that ultimately ensues because “he got us into this mess to start with.” If the American people put these lying, juvenile, self-righteous idiots in power, we deserve whatever we get...

The irony about this incident that escaped everyone is that in responding as he did, Obama amply demonstrated his total lack of ability to discuss anything with anyone, let alone a terrorist leader.

“Anything Pres. Bush says will be linked to McCain to make them appear the same.”

And that is why Pubbies should be on the offensive saying that Obama will simply preside over Jammah Cahtah’s second term, carrying on Jammah’s policies...which, unfortunately, is mostly true.
