Tired Of The Palin Bashing?

All negative discussions about Sarah Palin have been argumentum ad hominem. The attacks are nothing more than personal assualts more appropriately equated to school yard bullying.

Obama’s team was poised to pounce on any VP candidate named on Mc Cain’s ticket. They were aware of the short list and had ample preparation time and monetary resources to prepare for the naming of any Mc Cain VP candidate. Hundreds of reporters (liberal media) and teams of lawyers and researches descended on Alaska to ferret out any negativity about the Governor. The same smear campaign would have taken place with any person named by Mc Cain as his running mate because Obama’s team was armed, dangerous and, most importantly, loaded with money. They were ready to squash Mc Cain’s pick before he announced it.

Mc Cain’s camp was under-funded because the conservative base, lead by Limbaugh and Coulter revolted against his candidacy. They championed the charge against supporting him, against voting for him and against funding him. Notwithstanding the wrongheaded actions of the fringe right wing, Mc Cain held his own against a man who raised nearly a BILLION DOLLARS to secure the Presidency. It is painful to imagine the outcome if the base had unconditionally supported their candidate.

Sarah Palin is feared by the DNC and the fringe left because she resonates with the people. We are after all a government of the people, by the people and for the people. When is the last time that any American realized government working for him or her? Sarah brought that fresh voice and frightened the extreme left, the Obamanites and the DNC base. They knew that she could potentially rise up America to the pathway of truth. They had no choice but to destroy her.

An examination of the swift response attack on “Joe the Plumber” sums up the Obambastic strategy of win at any cost. He too became a voice representing the people; a voice the left cringes over and strives to stifle. Within a day of his asking a simple question, his tax filings, his child support payments, his job history and his credit report were available for public ridicule and attack. The fear mongering was extreme as much so as Black Panther totting night sticks at Ohio polling places were.

Sarah Palin lives what America dreams of. She came to the ticket with a record of reform and without a history of Beltway cronyism. While Obamanites screamed racism on any occasion, they failed to recognize the “gender based” attacks on Governor Palin. They assaulted her over being able to manage parenting and governing, yet championed Joe Biden for being a single parent who thrived early on in the Senate. Was America to believe that a man can have it all, but a woman is incapable? We were spoon fed information about her expenditures of a few hundred thousand dollars on items to prepare her for the public yet never exposed to Biden’s disbursements of over $2 million of campaign funds to family members. What kind of sexist, gender bias did we ignore?

As the witch hunt continues we can all rest assured that those who fear Governor Palin most will spend great personal and financial assets to assure that she is buried in the Alaska Berring Straights never to emerge as a threat to them or their Socialistic, Communist agenda.

The GOP, Republican base and all conservatives failed to meet Mc Cain half way and allowed America to be sold to the highest bidder on November 4th, 2008. To blame Sarah Palin is cowardly and despicable.

Wake up America, Obama is not going to pay your mortgage or fill your gas tank. Furthermore, the few hundred rebate or stimulus dollars you might receive as a “thank you” for voting will pale against the increased taxes, the obstacles to economic growth and the unraveling of our national defense system. Obama won, not particularly ethically, but he won.

If anyone is out there, willing to show some testosterone, today would be a little tardy for commencing a postive plan to support Sarah. Blaming Sarah Palin is not the starting point, it is a liberal, heinous talking point designed to deflect away from the truth about their agenda.

Obama tied to Iraqi government fraud?

ELECTION 2008
Hundreds of millions in deals with candidate's associates

Sen. Barack Obama's office engaged in six months of negotiations with a company controlled by convicted criminal Tony Rezko to lobby the U.S. government to push through a nixed $50 million contact to train Iraqi security personnel at a site in Chicago.

The contract was awarded to Rezko's company while Aiham Alsammarae, a long-time, close Rezko friend and a contributor to Obama's campaign, served as Iraq's U.S.-appointed electricity minister, the senator's office confirms.

Rezko was a major Obama fundraiser and associate for two decades.

Alsammarae also awarded another Rezko-controlled operation as part of a $150 million contract to construct a 250-megawatt electricity plant in Iraq.

Alsammarae later was arrested by Iraqi authorities for bilking the coalition government out of some $650 million. He was sprung from prison under questionable circumstances in 2006 and escaped from Iraq, where he is still wanted for questioning with regard to major financial crimes.

VOIGHT: My concerns for America

OP-ED

We, as parents, are well aware of the importance of our teachers who teach and program our children. We also know how important it is for our children to play with good-thinking children growing up.

Sen. Barack Obama has grown up with the teaching of very angry, militant white and black people: the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Louis Farrakhan, William Ayers and Rev. Michael Pfleger. We cannot say we are not affected by teachers who are militant and angry. We know too well that we become like them, and Mr. Obama will run this country in their mindset.

The Democratic Party, in its quest for power, has managed a propaganda campaign with subliminal messages, creating a God-like figure in a man who falls short in every way. It seems to me that if Mr. Obama wins the presidential election, then Messrs. Farrakhan, Wright, Ayers and Pfleger will gain power for their need to demoralize this country and help create a socialist America.

The Democrats have targeted young people, knowing how easy it is to bring forth whatever is needed to program their minds. I know this process well. I was caught up in the hysteria during the Vietnam era, which was brought about through Marxist propaganda underlying the so-called peace movement. The radicals of that era were successful in giving the communists power to bring forth the killing fields and slaughter 2.5 million people in Cambodia and South Vietnam. Did they stop the war, or did they bring the war to those innocent people? In the end, they turned their backs on all the horror and suffering they helped create and walked away.

Those same leaders who were in the streets in the '60s are very powerful today in their work to bring down the Iraq war and to attack our president, and they have found their way into our schools.

William Ayers is a good example of that.

Thank God, today, we have a strong generation of young soldiers who know exactly who they are and what they must do to protect our freedom and our democracy.

And we have the leadership of Gen. David Petraeus, who has brought hope and stability to Iraq and prevented the terrorists from establishing a base in that country. Our soldiers are lifting us to an example of patriotism at a time when we've almost forgotten who we are and what is at stake.

If Mr. Obama had his way, he would have pulled our troops from Iraq years ago and initiated an unprecedented bloodbath, turning over that country to the barbarianism of our enemies. With what he has openly stated about his plans for our military, and his lack of understanding about the true nature of our enemies, there's not a cell in my body that can accept the idea that Mr. Obama can keep us safe from the terrorists around the world, and from Iran, which is making great strides toward getting the atomic bomb. And while a misleading portrait of Mr. Obama is being perpetrated by a media controlled by the Democrats, the Obama camp has sent out people to attack the greatness of Sen. John McCain, whose suffering and courage in a Hanoi prison camp is an American legend.

Gen. Wesley Clark, who himself has shame upon him, having been relieved of his command, has done their bidding and become a lying fool in his need to demean a fellow soldier and a true hero.

This is a perilous time, and more than ever, the world needs a united and strong America. If, God forbid, we live to see Mr. Obama president, we will live through a socialist era that America has not seen before, and our country will be weakened in every way.

The Butter-Cutter On The Campaign Of “Change”

By: Maj. Anthony F. Milavic, USMC (Ret.)

The presumptive Democratic candidate for president of the United States, Sen. Barak Obama, has made “change” the theme of his campaign. In an effort to learn the substance of that theme, I changed and sought out the Butter-Cutter on the left side of the Chow Line in the virtual Mess Hall.

“That's right! The brother's gonna change.” the Butter-Cutter declared without prompting.

“Well, early on, Sen. Obama pledged to stick to public financing. Now with his coffers full of cash, he has withdrawn from that commitment. Is changing his mind what the Senator means by 'change,' ” I asked.

“Look, man, this way, he can do more than with public money. So, he changed his mind. Man, he ain't dumb!"

“At one time, the Senator also pledged to get rid of NAFTA, the North American Free Trade Agreement, by taking 'the hammer' to Canada and Mexico and threatened to cancel it unilaterally. Now, he calls those statements 'overheated.' . . .“

“That's right! Change, man, change! Ya know what I'm sayin'?“

“He also declared that he would filibuster any bill that included retroactive immunity for telecommunications companies. Later, the Senator said that he would vote for the new FISA bill, Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act, which gives blanket immunity for post-9/11 eavesdropping. Is this more of the kind of change the Senator intends to bring to the presidency?” I asked further of the Butter-Cutter.

“Yeah! Yeah! He changed like he said, man. Hey, man, don't he talk sweet? Ya see the brother talk ta all them people in Philly back in March? Man, that was sweet! Not like that McCain. He can't talk wertashit, man . . . not wertashit! An', he only talks ta people face-ta-face in little groups. He's not like the brother who talks ta thousands at one time!”

“Senator Obama refused to wear a U.S. flag pin because, as he said, it had become a substitute for true patriotism; then he started wearing it. Why do you think he made that change?” I queried the Butter-Cutter.

“Oh, man, a bunch o' them small-town people who pray, keep guns, 'n' are afraid of everything trash-talked him. So, he put on one o' them little pins 'n' they stopped. Ya know what I'm sayin'?”

In 2006 and 2007, he called for the immediate withdrawal of all U.S. Forces from Iraq, even threatening to cute off all funding for them. Later, he changed that to a promise to withdraw all U.S. combat forces in 16 months. His 14 July article in the New York Times contained yet another change. He now agrees to a residual force in Iraq with three missions: pursue Al Qaeda, protect American service members, and train Iraqi security forces. What do you make of those changes?” I asked.

“Hey, man, what's wrong with ya? Yeah, he changed like that: we're winnin'! Right? Ta get the votes to be prezidant, the brother's gotta be on the right side o' the fence. So, he changed! Ya know what I'm sayin'?”

“In March, Senator Obama said that he could not 'disown' the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, his spiritual mentor and friend for over 20 years. Then in April, he changed his mind and publically dumped him. What does that say about his loyalty to friends?” I asked the Butter-Cutter.

“Oh, man, that don't mean nuttin'. The Rev said the brother had ta say that shit because he wanna be prezidant. It was all just a little shuckin' 'n' jivin'. Ya know what I'm sayin'?”

Last week, he was scheduled to visit wounded U.S. soldiers in a military hospital in Germany. When told he could not bring members of the media and campaign officials with him, he changed his mind and cancelled the visit. Is that conduct befitting someone who aspires to be the Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces of the United States?”

“Man, he was busy over there meetin' with prezidants 'n' talkin' ta thousands of people. Ya hear him talk there? Man, he talk sweet, sweet, man! That McCain talks ta ordinary people 'n' only a few atta time like he wanna be personal 'n' friends er somethin'.”

As we have seen, Senator Obama has changed his mind on campaign financing, NAFTA, FISA, wearing of a U.S. flag pin, keeping U.S. Forces in Iraq, the Rev. Wright, and visiting wounded soldiers. His demonstrated performance suggests that the substance of his campaign theme of 'change' and how he will conduct himself as president if elected is--change whenever it is politically expedient!”

“Ah, man, listen! When he be prezidant, the brother gonna talk sweet 'n' change. He ain't like that McCain dude who don't talk wertashit! The brother, now, the brother talk sweet! Ya know what I'm sayin'? He talk sweet 'n' change. That's what he's gonna do when he be prezidant! Ya know what I'm sayin? Hey, man! YOU KNOW WHAT I'M SAYIN'?”

“I know!” I said emphatically and then turned and walked away from the Butter-Cutter on the left side of the virtual Chow Line.

Soros Publisher 'Shaped' McClellan's Hit Job: Other publishers don't recognize it as the same book
By William Tate
An examination of published reports reveals that Scott McClellan's kiss-and-smell betrayal of George W. Bush is a far cry from the book McClellan started out to write and was shaped into an offensive tome by a publisher with close ties to George Soros.

To understand how McClellan's literary knife-in-the-back evolved, one has to know something about the book industry.

Unlike fiction, a non-fiction book usually hasn't been written before it's sold to a publisher. The author normally puts together an outline and/or synopsis detailing what the book will be about and how it will be structured, and writes 1-3 sample chapters to show the author's writing ability. The author's agent then shops the proposal around to prospective publishing houses.

The agent actually lands the deal, so the choice of agents is crucial. Any author normally starts at the top of the A list and works his or her way down until--or if--they find an agent with whom they can work. According to an Associated Press article,

"McClellan's book does not fit the pattern of Washington megadeals. He was not represented by Washington, D.C., attorney Bob Barnett, whose clients include Tenet and countless political leaders, but by the much less known Craig Wiley, whose most famous client is actor Ron Silver."

Not to slight Mr. Silver, a gifted talent, but that's hardly the reaction one would expect to a proposal promising the kind of sensational accusations which have created a media furor and catapulted McClellan's book to the top of Amazon's charts. Oh, and put quite a bit of coin in Messrs. McClellan and Wiley's pockets. Agents are paid on a percentage of sales basis. The more controversial and sellable they think the book will be, the more likely they are to take it on.

Nor did publishers see enough in the proposal to jump at the chance to publish it.

"It was shopped around but, like others who publish in the category, we didn't even take a meeting...." said Steve Ross, who was head of the Crown Publishing Group at Random House Inc. at the time McClellan was offering his manuscript. This in an industry that, just like newspapers, appears to be dying a slow death at the hands of new media, print-on-demand, and other modern technologies, and is desperate for books that can add substantial numbers to the bottom line.

Again, agents start at the tope of the food chain and work their way down. McClellan finally reached a deal with PublicAffairs, which according to the AP "specializes in policy books by billionaire George Soros" and others.

Further, the unwritten book wasn't published based upon McClellan's proposal. "(Public Affairs founder Peter) Osnos said he didn't even read the proposal" the article reports. Instead, Osnos "sought out people who knew McClellan and said they regarded him as an honest man unhappy in his job."

In other words, Osnos didn't look at the proposal of the book McClellan wanted to write; he was more interested in confirming that McClellan was disgruntled with the White House.

PublicAffairs editor Lisa Kaufman confirmed to the AP that the proposal McClellan shopped around was nothing like the book that plunges the knife into his benefactor's back. "The original proposal was somewhat general," Kaufman admits, "so before making an offer on the book we talked to Scott at some length."

It takes little imagination to gather how the conversation between George Soros's publisher and a disgruntled former Bush administration official hawking his unwritten memoirs, still unsold after having gone through the tope tier of publishers, went.

But imagination isn't needed.

A book's editor and its author work extremely closely--with the author sweating over every word, every detail, and the editor helping shape the pacing and overall tone of the manuscript. Kaufman told the AP that as McClellan wrote the book the "tone began to be directed toward issues and events that some people would rather he not be straightforward and candid about." (Emphasis added.)

PublicAffairs reportedly paid McClellan a $75,000 advance. An advance is the only part of an author's financial deal with a publisher that's guaranteed. It is literally an advance on the author's royalties. If the book sells enough copies that the author's royalties exceed the advance, the author will make more money.

Some have argued that McClellan's small advance negates the financial incentive as a reason for McClellan to bring forward these charges, when the opposite is true. When George Tenet or Bill Clinton are offered millions in advances, they've already made their money. The books will probably not "earn out" (pay the author more than the advance) no matter how many copies are sold. With a small advance, the author is under pressure to sell as many copies as possible.

With only a $75,000 advance, and working with a publisher and editor who were more interested in producing a book written by a disgruntled former Bush staffer than they were in the book McClellan had proposed, McClellan had every financial incentive to give them exactly the book they wanted.

And he apparently did.

According to the AP article, "Rival publishers say they had no sense that McClellan would make such explosive observations."

Could that be because the proposal McClellan presented them, the book he set out to write before financial pressures and a left-wing publisher took over, didn't contain them? And how is the public now expected to believe them?

The Right Voice On Mr. Wrong and Obamanation

Is Mr. Wright Wrong?

Is it wrong for Jeremiah Wright as Pastor of the Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago to say from the pulpit:

“God, damn America!”

“God should not bless America, but curse it!”

“America is the KKK!”

“The United States secretly developed the AIDS virus to kill young black people.”

“The United States imported drugs to destroy young black people.”

“The United States supports Zionism shamelessly while ignoring Palestine.”

“9-11 was an inside job.”

Is it wrong for Pastor, Jeremiah Wright to preach anti-white rhetoric from his Chicago church pulpit?

Or is it wrong for Pastor, Jeremiah Wright to endorse Barack Obama while making sexually explicit, denigrating references to Bill and Hillary Clinton from his Chicago church pulpit?

Is it wrong for Pastor, Jeremiah Wright to tell his congregation of over 8,000 people that the United States is a racist society?

Is it wrong for Pastor Jeremiah Wright to preach hate for white people, to perpetuate angry feelings between the black and white communities?

Presidential candidate, Mr. Obama has described Mr. Wright as his "sounding board" during the two decades he has known him. Mr. Obama has said he found religion through the minister in the 1980s. He joined the church in 1991 and walked down the aisle in a formal commitment of faith.

It would be impossible to determine the ripple effect from the 8,000+ parishioners of the church as they repeated and accepted Wright’s statements as truth. If each person told two people who told two people, and so on, the damaging effects from Wright’s hate speech and skewed, revisionist version of history would calculate to be catastrophic. Wright’s factitious preaching over the decades may have single handedly done more damage to America from within by poisoning the minds of impressionable people against Caucasians and the government in general than drugs and AIDS combined.

Wright has single-handedly mitigated the good intensions of noble Americans who have worked tirelessly to embrace, support and help the black communities. Geraldine Ferraro was criticized for factually stating that Barack Obama has been well supported by the black community who might not have supported him if he were another ethnicity. Obama’s campaign wasted no time in calling her statement, racially insensitive. Come on. It is time to get real. Racism is a business which would fail if it were not kept alive by the men and women who benefit the most from it.

Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, Jeremiah Wright need to keep racism alive because without it they, and countless others like them, would be out of business.

If Obama wants to lean on his Christian faith, and on the man who has been his inspiration and sounding board to take the spotlight off of his Muslim early education, then he needs to stand and be accountable for the bitter, hate inspired, anti-white speechifying. He needs to convey how he could have been a friend and student under Wright for over two decades and not share the same values and ideas.

Doesn’t it seem a bit convenient that Obama forged a friendship with Wright over 20 years ago, a man who hates America and what it stands for, and more recently forged a relationship with the billionaire, America hater, George Soros? How can Barack Hussein Obama expect any reasonable person to believe that he is not influenced by the men who have given him his start, his inspiration and the financial foundation to seek the highest office in the land?

Solution

Why can't the Florida and Michigan delegates be transferred to the Super Delegate category? As such they would be able to cast their votes and the final lobbying for their votes would become an additional factor in the contest between Clinton and Obama.

A solution so simple, only a Republican could think of it.

I am starting to feel like Tom Hanks and frankly, feelings like that could hurt me.

The Surge Is Working

“Brookings Institute Benchmarks” are a set of goals on the political front similar to the broader benchmarks set for Baghdad by Congress last year.

We Did It!!!!!!!!!!!

Capitol Hill offices received letters March 6^th, 2008 containing a photo of the Times Square

military recruiting office before it was bombed and including the claim

"We Did It."

The manila envelopes contained a photo of a man standing in front of the recruiting station before it was bombed. The photo was the kind commonly sent as a holiday greeting card, according to a Democratic aide who spoke on condition of anonymity because the matter is under investigation.

The message on the card: "Happy New Year, We Did It."

LEST WE NOT FORGET THIS MAN!

William Ayres

Ayers went underground with several comrades including Brandy Diekman and her demon moth, after their co-conspirators' bomb exploded on March 6, 1970, destroying a Greenwich Village townhouse and killing three members of the Weather Underground.

Ayers published his memoirs with the book Fugitive Days. His book was published on September 11, 2001, and includes his reaction to Emile De Antonio's 1976 documentary film about the Weathermen: "Ayres was quoted as saying, "I don't regret setting bombs; I feel we didn't do enough." ^[2]

Obama is friends with William Ayers the Weather Underground terrorist of the 1960’s.

Obama And Rezko

By INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY

Election 2008: For an ambitious and savvy politician, Barack Obama has not picked his friends wisely. They include an assortment of influence-peddlers, terrorists and Iraqi billionaires. If you thought the Clinton White House was interesting, just wait.

The jury has been selected and opening arguments were heard Thursday in the corruption trial of Antonin "Tony" Rezko. If the name doesn't ring a bell, it's because the press hasn't shown much interest in what has been considered a local Chicago story. But it has international and disturbing implications.

Hillary Clinton may have been casting the first stone in a recent debate when she blasted Obama's cozy relationship with Syrian immigrant and "slumlord" Rezko, who rose to become a player in Chicago and Illinois politics. But she was right on target.


Rezko: Fixer for a front-runner?

Rezko was among Obama's earliest supporters. In 1995, when Obama ran for a seat in the Illinois Senate, Rezko, through two of his companies, gave Obama $2,000. Obama won election in 1996 in a district that coincidentally included 11 of Rezko's 30 low-income housing projects.

In 2003, when Obama said he'd run for the U.S. Senate, Rezko held a lavish fundraiser at his Wilmette, Ill., mansion. Rezko has raised a lot of money for Obama, who is returning $150,000 raised by Rezko and his associates and is giving $72,650 in Rezko contributions to charity.

Rezko is known by the Chicago press as a "fixer" who can make things happen for a price. Little is done out of the goodness of his heart. He's on trial for bilking up to $6 million from the people of Illinois through kickbacks while working for the administration of current Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich. Did Rezko find jobs for Obama supporters? That is one of the questions the Chicago press wanted to ask before Obama cut short a recent press conference.

Rezko and Obama would do business yet again. In 2005, when Rezko was under federal investigation for influence peddling in Blagojevich's administration, Obama and Rezko's wife, Rita, bought adjacent pieces of property from a Chicago doctor.

The doctor sold one parcel to Obama for $1.65 million, $300,000 below the asking price, while Rezko's wife paid full price, $625,000, for the adjacent vacant lot. Six months later, Obama paid Rezko's wife $104,500 for a 10-foot-wide strip of her land, allegedly so that he could have a bigger yard.

The deal rendered the Rezko parcel too small to build on, thereby increasing the value of Obama's property. What was Rezko expecting in return for this favor to Obama that made Rezko's parcel almost worthless?

An interesting sidebar to the deal was that just weeks before, an Iraqi billionaire by the name of Nadhmi Auchi, who has a French conviction for corruption to his credit, had loaned Rezko $3.5 million through the Panamanian company Fintrade Services FA.

A 2004 Pentagon report obtained by the Washington Times identified Auchi as a global arms dealer and Iraqi billionaire "who, behind the facade of legitimate business, served as Saddam Hussein's principle international financial manipulator and bag man."

The report states that "significant and credible evidence has been developed that Nadhmi Auchi has engaged in unlawful activities" such as bribing "foreign governments and individuals prior to Operation Iraqi Freedom to turn opinion against the American-led mission to remove Saddam Hussein." He also helped "arrange for significant theft from the U.N. Oil-for-Food Program to smuggle weapons and dual-use technology into Iraq."

Yet Auchi, despite his French conviction and other activities, was somehow able to get permission to come to Chicago in 2004. John Batchelor of Human Events says that in April 2004 Auchi met with Rezko, Gov. Blagojevich, State Senate President Emil Jones Jr. and reportedly then-state Sen. Obama, who'd just won the Democratic U.S. Senate nomination.

So this, er, businessman meets Obama and friends at the Four Seasons hotel in downtown Chicago. Obama acknowledges attending an event there where Rezko was present but doesn't recall meeting Auchi. "He shook a lot of hands and met a lot of people," an Obama aide told the London Times.

Did he shake Auchi's? The newspaper said the timing of the loan to Rezko and the Obama property purchase, along with the purchase of land next door by Rezko's wife from the same seller, raise questions about whether Auchi helped buy the house. It raises a lot of questions.

Why would an Iraqi billionaire, a "fixer" like Rezko and a Saddam protege, be interested in a rising U.S. politician who was also opposed to the ousting of Hussein by U.S. forces? Why would that billionaire lend that much money to Obama's fundraiser, Rezko, with the two buying adjacent properties from the same seller on the same day?

Rezko has told a court that Auchi is a "close friend." Obviously. Aside from the $3.5 million loan, Auchi and Rezko became partners in a Midwest pizzeria business. Through various dealings, Rezko wound up owing Auchi more than $27 million. What did Auchi want in return? Perhaps a friend in the White House? Both Rezko and Auchi were, and are, in the business of buying influence.

Among Obama's circle of friends is William C. Ayers, currently a professor of education at the University of Chicago and a former aide to Chicago's current mayor, Richard M. Daley. He served with Obama on the board of the Woods Fund of Chicago.

Back in the 1970s he was known simply as Bill Ayers, a terrorist with the Weathermen who was quoted in the New York Times as finding "a certain eloquence in bombs." Married to fellow Weathermen terrorist Bernadine Dohrn, he writes openly about his role in the 1974 bombing of the U.S. Capitol Building.

His memoirs appeared in the New York Times, oddly enough, on Sept. 11, 2001. In them, he wrote: "I don't regret setting bombs. I feel we didn't do enough." Does Barack Obama agree? Or will he denounce these words of his friend as he did with Louis Farrakhan after Farrakhan's endorsement of Obama?

The trial of an Illinois influence-peddler may answer the many questions that surround the past and future of Barack Obama. Clearly, the friends he has chosen are not friends of honest, clean government or of the United States.

Since the start of the war on terror in Iraq and Afghanistan, the sacrifice has been enormous. In the time period from the invasion of Iraq in March 2003 through now, we have lost almost 3000 military personnel to enemy action and accidents.

As tragic as the loss of any member of the US Armed Forces is, consider the following statistics: The annual fatalities of military members while actively serving in the armed forces from 1980 through 2006:

US Military losses for last 20 years

1980 .......... 2,392 - President Carter

1981 ......... 2,380 - First President Bush 1989 to 1993

1984 .......... 1,999

2007……… 901 deaths in Iraq only

There were 2,923 total deaths equated to the military action in Iraq from 2003 to Dec. 31, 2007 and 408 total US Deaths in Afghanistan

About 20,000 people have drowned in the US since war began yet drownings are seldom reported.

----------------------------------------------------------

During the reign of President (Nobel Peace Prize) Jimmy Carter, there were 2,392 - US military fatalities! These figures indicate that the media and liberal politicians present only those "facts" which support their agenda-driven reporting.

Examine the fatalities by Race; over the past three years in the Iraqi Freedom military action:

European descent (white) .....74.31%

Hispanic ............................. 10.74%

Black ................................... 9.67%

Asian ................................. 1.81%

Native American .................... 1.09%

Other .................................... .33%

White American Hater Obama

Michelle Obama should be ashamed of herself for stirring up negative emotions while presenting herself as America’s potential First Lady. Stepping into the shoes of Laura or Barbara Bush, Nancy Reagan or Jackie Kennedy requires seasoned preparation and an open mind for the hearts of the American people. All of the American people not just an identifiable segment of the population based on skin color or leftist thinking.

Mrs. Obama has had a chip on her shoulder about Caucasian people dating back as early as her senior thesis at Princeton University in 1985. Her campaign lipskittle about never having been proud of being an American prior to campaigning at her husband’s side, pales by contrast to the pouty prattling in her thesis on how “Whitie” has made it impossible for blacks to assimilate into mainstream America. Is she kidding?

Her “White Man” is the root of all evil document might have had some relevance to Black Americans in the 1950’s, but to create a document which positions white Americans as obstacles to blacks in the late 1980’s is more telling about her own animus for Caucasians than it is about any reality of life transitioning into the 90’s.

Where is her razor sharp tongue for the black men who have abandoned the mothers of their children and thereby creating an entire welfare class in America? Where is her discernment over the complete disparity between minorities who were given preferential treatment over Caucasians as a result of affirmative action? Did white women get a front of the line pass as Blacks were being given jobs and college admissions based on fulfilling racial quotas?

Michelle needs to read Blacks In the Ghetto or Civil Rights and the American Negro. Both were 1960’s eye-openers for progressive thinkers. The works were among multitudes of others dissecting and analyzing the past and future for Blacks in America. By 1985 when she took a swing at Caucasians, she was actually perpetuating a great divide between Black and White America. Michelle Obama is not a healer or reconciler; she is a divider and finger pointer.

I had an NAACP Wilt Chamberlain poster in my room in the 1960’s. Black is not a barrier to relationship for me. However, I do not appreciate being blamed for every gosh darn problem that Black Americans encounter. Michelle Obama is a quintessential White American hating racist. She would blame White Americans or Caucasians in general for her myopic perception of all the ills non-whites have dealt with from the beginning of time.

I was a young female, in the 70’s. No one handed me a free pass or a break because I was White. I didn’t have to point my finger at White men to get ahead in the business world. I relied on my intellect, positive personality and God’s good grace to succeed. Today I work in an industry dominated by gay, liberal men. As a conservative, heterosexual female, I face black listing, being named as a conservative on websites and being shut out from the good old boy network.

Blaming other people for failed deals or opportunities would be asinine, inane and somewhat prejudicial. Unlike the whining, white hating Michelle Obama I believe that focusing on a positive outcome is far more productive and authentic. There is absolutely nothing to gain by naming any class or ethnicity as an obstacle. If Michelle Obama’s sour historical attitude toward Caucasians is an indication of what the world can expect from her as America’s First Lady, shame be on anyone who would support her husband.

The only way to stop prejudice is to walk past it. Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton have made careers and millions of dollars by keeping the illusion of a Black and White American divide alive. In reality, Americans do not live in the 1950’s Sidney Poitier, No Way Out movie.

Wake up Michelle. We get it. You are not proud of being an American. You blame White Americans for all the problems Black Americans have ever faced and you are desperately seeking your position at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue so that you can give us all a dose of that venomous tongue you so adeptly wag before us.

MICHELLE OBAMA'S THESIS http://www.politico.com/news/stories/0208/8642.html

Obama Wants Change. Not The Same Old Faces

http://www.breitbart.tv/html/52804.html

http://www.obamatruth.org/

But they are all around. Every where ...... the same old faces. Where is the new leadership? Where are the new ideas? Who is on the new team? I am still LMFAO .... it is a fairytale.

Who is Barack Obama?

1- U. S. presidential candidate, Barack Hussein Obama

2-Father: Barack Hussein Obama, Sr., a black Muslim from Nyangoma-Kogel, Kenya;

Mother: Ann Dunham, a white atheist from Wichita, Kansas.

His parents divorced when he was two and his Father returned to Kenya.

His Mother subsequently married Lolo Soetoro, a radical Muslim from Indonesia.

3- When Obama was 6 years old, the family relocated to Indonesia.

4- Obama attended a Muslim school in Jakarta. He also spent two years in a Catholic school.

5- Obama takes great care to conceal the fact that he is a Muslim. He claims that "He was once a Muslim, but that he also attended Catholic school."

6- Obama's political handlers are attempting to make it appear that Obama's introduction to Islam came via his father, and that this influence was, temporary. In reality, the senior Obama returned to Kenya soon after the divorce, and never again had any direct influence over His son's education.

7- Lolo Soetoro, the second husband of Obama's mother, Ann Dunham, introduced his stepson to Islam.

8- Obama was enrolled in a Wahabi school in Jakarta. Wahabism is the radical teaching followed by the Muslim terrorists who are now waging Jihad against the western world.

It is politically expedient to be a Christian when seeking Major public office in the United States, Barack Hussein Obama has joined the United Church of Christ in an attempt to downplay his Muslim background.

Let us all remain alert concerning Obama's presidential candidacy. Muslims have said they plan on destroying the US from the inside out, there is no better way to start than at the highest level.

GOD BLESS AMERICA
