RKMBs Forums .::Important::. Politics and Current Events Barack Hussein Obama in '08?

One for the money, two for the show, three for the win?

Maybe four:"He then took the cherry on top with a Virgin Islands caucuses victory."

As the "Pun-isher" you must be proud of Fox for that one.

I also think Obama is at least a relatively honest human being.

Barack Hussein Obama has built his political campaign around being the “honest” guy. I ran across a Politico article that points out a lot of dishonesty from Obama, check this out:

Speaking early this month at a church in Selma, Ala., Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) said: “I’m in Washington. I see what’s going on. I see those powers and principalities have snuck back in there, that they’re writing the energy bills and the drug laws.” . . .

But not only did Obama vote for the Senate’s big energy bill in 2005, he also put out a press release bragging about its provisions, and his Senate Web site carries a news article about the vote headlined, “Senate energy bill contains goodies for Illinois.” . . .

On Sunday, the Chicago Tribune reported that an extensive search found no basis for an episode Obama recounts [in his 1995 book, “Dreams From My Father”] about a picture he ran across in Life magazine of a “black man who had tried to peel off his skin” in a failed effort to use chemicals to lighten it. Obama writes that “seeing that article was violent for me, an ambush attack.” The Tribune reported: “Yet no such Life issue exists, according to historians at the magazine. No such photos, no such article. When asked about the discrepancy, Obama said in a recent interview, ‘It might have been an Ebony or it might have been . . . who knows what it was?’ (At the request of the Tribune, archivists at Ebony searched their catalogue of past articles, none of which matched what Obama recalled.)” . . .

As another example, consider Obama’s stirring tale for the Selma audience about how he had been conceived by his parents, Barack Obama Sr. and Ann Dunham, because they had been inspired by the fervor following the “Bloody Sunday” voting rights demonstration that was commemorated March 4. “There was something stirring across the country because of what happened in Selma, Ala.,” he said, “because some folks are willing to march across a bridge. So they got together and Barack Obama Jr. was born. So don’t tell me I don’t have a claim on Selma, Ala. Don’t tell me I’m not coming home to Selma, Ala.”

Obama was born in 1961, and the Selma march occurred four years later, in 1965. The New York Times reported that when the senator was asked about the discrepancy later that day, he clarified: “I meant the whole civil rights movement.”

I think as the race narrows Obama will have more and more scrutiny, we will find out he is just like 99.9% of the politicians out there. We already know he has the backing of Oprah Winfrey one of the biggest left wing nuts out there. Often in her talk you can hear racial undertones. If Obama is going to associate himself with someone who is always talking in the us vs. them mentality, and this person is a major backer of his campaign what does this mean his policies will be influenced by this?

Have you ever checked out the website of Obama’s Church? Check out this excerpt from there About Page:

"We are a congregation which is Unashamedly Black and Unapologetically Christian… Our roots in the Black religious experience and tradition are deep, lasting and permanent. We are an African people, and remain “true to our native land,” the mother continent, the cradle of civilization. God has superintended our pilgrimage through the days of slavery, the days of segregation, and the long night of racism. It is God who gives us the strength and courage to continuously address injustice as a people, and as a congregation. We constantly affirm our trust in God through cultural expression of a Black worship service and ministries which address the Black Community.

The Pastor as well as the membership of Trinity United Church of Christ is committed to a 10-point Vision:

1. A congregation committed to ADORATION.
2. A congregation preaching SALVATION.
3. A congregation actively seeking RECONCILIATION.
4. A congregation with a non-negotiable COMMITMENT TO AFRICA.
5. A congregation committed to BIBLICAL EDUCATION.
6. A congregation committed to CULTURAL EDUCATION.
7. A congregation committed to the HISTORICAL EDUCATION OF AFRICAN PEOPLE IN DIASPORA.
8. A congregation committed to LIBERATION.
9. A congregation committed to RESTORATION.
10. A congregation working towards ECONOMIC PARITY."


I really thought we as a nation have moved past this kind of thinking? Martin Luther King fought for equality and Barrack goes to a church that apparently supports segregation. Remember David Duke? Didn’t he go to a church that supported the preservation of the “white race”, this kind of thing disgusts me. It did with Duke, and it does with Obama.

The more you learn about this man the less Presidential he sounds. Even the Obama Girl will change her mind

I think Hillary would be easier to beat in the general election

No goddammit! I'm not trying to set her up to lose! I want her to win.

I want her to destroy everything and plunge this country into chaos instead of having McCain or Obama destroying it softly and ambiguously through their moderate "reach across the aisle" nebulousness.

I addressed that. I think both Obama or Clinton have the potential to plunge the country into chaos. But I think it would be easier for the next president to fix whatever chaos Obama creates than Clinton. She's pure "the Time Bandits say don't touch it" evil.

when obama puts white people in concentration camps you wont find this funny.

white concentration camps. mark it.

That might explain why PJP supports Obama, what with being orange and all.

rex, why do you keep accusing so many different posters of pedophilia?
granted wondy did imply that he believed seducing an underage male was the same or less than seducing an adult female of consenting age. but i took that more to be a reflection of his overall hatred of women and puritanical view of sex.

the new TIME magazine, for the week of October 23, 2006, gave this obituary:

• DIED. Gerry Studds, 69. Former Democrat Representative from Massachusetts, and the first openly gay member of Congress, whom the House censured in 1983 for having had an affair with a 17-year-old male page; of complications from a blood clot in his lung; in Boston.
  After surviving the sex scandal, Studds was elected to several more terms, and in 1996 Congress named a national marine sanctuary after him in recognition of his environmental work.

Funny how Republicans didn't demand the then-Democrat-speaker's resignation for not preventing Studds' abuse.
Democrats, in the same stiuation as Foley, slapped Studds' wrist with a minimal "censure" (a la Clinton), kept him in office, and then honored him, ignoring his crimes.

So much for the oh-so-superior and morally outraged Democrats.

I haven't defended the fact that Foley is a pedophile scumbag.

I've only pointed out that Democrats have blown this Foley event way out of proportion, insinuating a wider Republican conspiracy in the Foley scandal, while in truth Pelosi and other Democrats are just as culpable for "sitting on" knowledge that something wasn't right with Foley.
And the liberal media as well, who knew about and sat on this story for a year, so they could whack the Republicans with an October Surprise.

I've pointed out that Democrats have likewise not exposed their own in similar sex-scandal incidents.

And Democrats have done even worse in protecting criminal sexual activity to protect their political hegemony, a prime example being the Clinton/Lewinsky affair, in which case Clinton was guilty of cover-up, perjury, and likely rape as well. And yet every Democrat Senator and all but five Democrat Representatives voted to keep Clinton in power, and preserve their liberal/Democrat political control.

That's not defending Foley, that's exposing the Democrat double-standard.
Democrats vilify Republicans, while remaining opportunist scumbags themselves.

I endorse pedophilia

My sole pleasure in life is slandering people on a message board.

(i.e., being a troll)
