"For we have a choice in this country. We can accept a politics that breeds division, and conflict, and cynicism. We can tackle race only as spectacle – as we did in the OJ trial – or in the wake of tragedy, as we did in the aftermath of Katrina - or as fodder for the nightly news. We can play Reverend Wright’s sermons on every channel, every day and talk about them from now until the election, and make the only question in this campaign whether or not the American people think that I somehow believe or sympathize with his most offensive words. We can pounce on some gaffe by a Hillary supporter as evidence that she’s playing the race card, or we can speculate on whether white men will all flock to John McCain in the general election regardless of his policies.

We can do that.

But if we do, I can tell you that in the next election, we’ll be talking about some other distraction. And then another one. And then another one. And nothing will change." Barack Obama

Deconstructing Barry

Information from Publius Pundit:

(1) Obama said during the primary season that he would vote to block blanket immunity for telecommunications companies in connection with post-Sept. 11 eavesdropping. Now that he got the nomination, he's announced he'll vote in favor of immunity.

(2) During the primaries, Obama said he would insist on renegotiating the North American Free Trade Agreement to stop Mexico and Canada from abusing the system to harm the American economy. Now victorious, he supports the existing agreement.

(3) While seeking left-wing votes for the nomination, he said he would meet with Mahmoud Ahmadinejad without preconditions. The nomination sewn up, he no longer has any such intention.

(4) Filled with primary fervor, he said he could "no more disown Jeremiah Wright than his own grandmother." A few months later, he disowned him.

(5) Obama pledged unconditionally that he would accept public financing during the general election while he was talking to left-wing voters who despise the "fat cats." Now that he's been anointed, he's rejected public funding.

(6) An editorial in the Post adds yet another: Obama promised during the primary season to participate in a series of inclusive town-hall meetings with his opponent John McCain. McCain is still ready to do it, but now as the front runner Obama is backing out like a cowardly and very common politician. Change you can believe in?

As Krauthammer puts it: "By the time he's finished, Obama will have made the Clintons look scrupulous."

Why didn't you post anything concerning Obama's mentors and role models?
Why would you hide those factual details and only offer campaign rhetoric?
Shouldn't Americans be knowledgeable about their candidates?

The telecom immunity isn't the half of it. He voted to make it easier for the government to spy on Americans. Much easier. He's acted like a Progressive for the longest time but he certainly isn't acting like one now. Not that I'm a big fan of Progressives, but still.

What really makes me laugh, and cry, is watching the lefties excuse him at every turn.

Yada...Yada...Yada...And nothing will change." Barack Obama

Was he talking about himself?

The Democrat Congress has been doing the same thing for over 1 1/2 years now.

That's sad, too.

The admin. is pretty bad. Maybe one of the worst.

In just 8 years.
We got attacked on our own soil. We destroyed Iraq for nothing. Watched the economy go to trash. Ruined our budget and debt. Outsources tons of jobs. Let illegal immigration become a problem. Have not funded stem-cell research. Began an energy crisis. Began a food cost crisis. Never caught OBL. Proved that black people are less important than rich whites (katrina).

But hey, at least some of us (not me) got stimulus checks a few weeks ago!!!

That pretty much covers it. And the rise in oil prices is draining $600 billion dollars a year from the American economy while Alfred E. Newman sits in the White House and does nothing. God help us.

Bush this, bush that.... you can spew your bush hatred from here to eternity, but you're still behind the eight ball when it comes to what the country thinks of you demtards... who are primarily responsible for our gas crisis. They've been cow towing to the enviro-whackos for decades, and have OUTLAWED new oil exploration, new drilling, new refineries, clean coal and nuclear. The dems have had the majority in congress and had a sitting President for 38 of the last 45 years, and what do they have to show for it? An approval rating that's the LOWEST IN HISTORY! Yeah.... you fucking liberal, dem fucktards have SOOOOO much to be proud of... problem is, nobody fucking thinks so....
