Is Obama worthy?

[crossride]

Wasn't there some flap over Senator Obama NOT wearing an American flag lapel pin? Didn't he dismiss those who critisized him for that. Did you happen to catch him speaking to AIPAC today? Wearing a conjoined American/Israeli flags pin? Now I'm not the most politically savvy guy, and maybe that's why my thoughts should matter (I am the "undecided voter). I'm thinking this guy is a pandering hypocrite. That's what I think.

Barack Hussein Obama looking thoughtful during the National Anthem:

[saunterelle]

One of the things I most admire about Obama is that he's such an independent thinker. He knows that patriotism is not about wearing a pin, it's about loving your country and working hard to make it a better place. Maybe Obama isn't happy with the current condition America is in, I'm not either. Maybe he's disgusted with the leadership, so am I, as is most of America. You see, Republicans hide behind their lapel pins, their talking points, and their fear mongering, but a great man like Obama puts himself and his ideas out front and center. He doesn't need a lapel pin to win the Presidency!

[bolverk]

You are right, Obama puts himself and his ideas out front and center as do all those around him. Unfortunately, you just have not been listening to him. Watch this video and you will see things differently perhaps. And by the way, why does he hate white people?

And, no he is not an independent thinker. He is a product of Black Liberation Theology, which is an outgrowth of Liberation Theology, which was condemned by the church as a means for socialist governments to over throw legitimate governments. It is exactly what Castro and Guevara both used to win Cuba.

Are you serious with that video?? It is so predictable and pathetic. Thin on any substantial arguments, the first part (with Ann "Coultergeist Coulter) tries to slam him for his name. HIS NAME!!! Come on, that's just pathetic and childish.

Then it goes on to say that we don't know his history. Well, have you even bothered to read either of his books? One of which won him a Grammy for his audiobook reading. His entire history is right there, check it out.

Then they played Obama's condemnation of Imus' remarks. Well, Obama condemned and rejected Rev. Wright's remarks also so what is the video's point?

Then they say Rev. Wright is "rude" because of his appearance on Hannity and Colms? Have you ever listened to Hannity? He's a complete jackass! Talk about rude.

Then they criticize him for agreeing to sit down with leaders of countries we disagree with, saying it is extremely dangerous. Didn't Ronald Reagan do this successfully?!?

And he DOES put his hand over his heart during the National Anthem. There was just the ONE instance which they keep showing over and over where he didn't for whatever reason who knows why, maybe he was off in thought trying to solve the world's problems. There are hundreds of other times during the National Anthem when he did.

Who cares if he attended a Muslim school for 2 years when he was a kid? If this isn't blatant fear mongering I don't know what is. Talk about weak arguments! The connections this video reaches for are ludicrous. If this is the best the Republicans have, they're going down in flames in November.

I ask you all to watch the video bolverk posted, read "The Audacity of Hope," and then make up your own minds. This sort of smear campaign by the Republicans is nothing new. But this time it won't work because Americans are wiser, and sick and tired of these despicable tactics.

Actually, Ted Kennedy did more damage with his name then Anne. But, I am sure that after 20 years sitting in a church and listening to that diatribe was all washed away with a repudiation after he decides to run for President. And, just like Reverend Wright says, Barak is only saying what he has to say to get elected.

[bolverk]

And how about his wife? She has not been proud of America until her husband decides to run for office? Wow, you place a lot of faith in him. I have none.

[bolverk]

Actually, he is considering sitting down, with out pre-conditions, with leaders of terrorist states. Reagan did not do that. He spent Russia into collapse.

On the other hand, the last President to invite a known terrorist and child killer into the White House was a Democrat, named Billy Jeff.

Why do you think they kept Laura out of the limelight? How do you think McCain's druggie will do?
Really now, Obama's wife slipped up.......

[saunterelle]

Lol. Well put Mink. Laura has been a statue while McCain's wife has been a total airhead.

[crossride]

Now it's about the wives?? Aaarrrgghhhhh. Okay let's get down to the serious stuff now. Did you see those UGLY shoes McCain was wearing? HA. Obama a far better grasp on shoe style. And I hear he takes better care of his toenails, too! So there, take that RIGHT!
