Obama Returns Fire in the Cowboy State

Obama visited the Cowboy State for the first time as a presidential candidate to return fire directed at his campaign. And to give residents of Casper, Wyoming, a show - something the normally politically quiet state hasn’t seen the likes of in some time.

Responding to criticism from his Democratic rival about comments his now-former foreign policy advisor made to the BBC, Barack Obama said, “Now, I just have to mention this because I don’t want anybody here to be confused.” Clinton had quoted Samantha Power at an event earlier today, who had told the BBC that while Obama has given a timeframe for withdrawal in Iraq, it would depend on the situation at the time.

To clear up the confusion, Obama defiantly said, “If it has been up to me we would have never been in this war. It was because of George Bush with an assist from Hillary Clinton and John McCain that we entered into this war. A war that should have never been authorized, a war that should have never been waged. I’ve been against it - 2002, 2003, 2004, 5, 6, 7, 8. And I will bring this war to an end in 2009. So don’t be confused.” He continued, “Don’t be confused when Senator Clinton is not even willing to acknowledge that she voted for war. She says she voted for diplomacy despite the title that said authorization to use US armed forces in Iraq. So I don’t want to play politics on this issue because she doesn’t have standing to question my position on this issue.”

Obama also brought up that pesky “red phone” ad that may have cost him votes in Texas - part of what he calls the “politics of fear.” “I mean, what do people think I’m going to do? I’m going to answer the phone,” he said as the crowd laughed. “And I will find out what’s going on, and I won’t be, and I won’t be browbeaten into launching a war that wasn’t necessary, I will get all the information about what crisis is taking place, and I will exercise the same judgment that I have shown over the last several issues ranging from, ranging from Iraq to Pakistan to all the other issues that are going to be so critical for the next president to deal with.”

If Casper wasn’t awake by the end of his animated town hall, he definitely got their attention (and that of his traveling press corps) when he brought up the experience issue - something that has plagued his candidacy from the beginning. “Senator Clinton and Senator McCain, they say, ‘We’ve got all these years of experience and this and that and the other.’ Look who’s run the best campaign. Look who’s managed this campaign from scratch. You know, that’s worth taking a look at. Look at what we’ve built from scratch to compete against people who have been building this thing for 20, 30 years, and we’ve done just fine.”

Obama heads to Laramie to hold a rally on the campus of the University of Wyoming before returning to Chicago later tonight.

Comment by Obama's Toast

I have a friend who heard Mr. Obama speak in Casper today. He said half of the audience seemed bored, and Obama was off his game. He said Mr. Obama seemed upset, and he was sneering a lot and his nostrils would flare when he spoke of Mrs. Clinton.
So much for the politics of change and hope and yes we can huh???

He really needs to go back to his written speeches on the teleprompter, for when he tries to wing it, he is second class at best.

 
Comment by OABAMANIA OVER!!!!!Thank Goodness

I hope having a crush on Obama has something to do for our economy! Get real, the Rezko trial is still going and you Ms. Power’s just lost some of her power, and Obama is going backwards and he didn’t even apoligize to an important figure. GET REAL GIRL!!!!!!!!!

Comment by tim

Let’s see here. Obama stated that he’ll bring the troops home from Iraq, but stated he’ll give the new Iraqi government time to stabalize itself, but that America will not be held hostage by the Iraqis in a way to keep the US in Iraq longer than they plan….. those pretty much was Obama’s words.

His advisor told the BBC that a 16 month withdraw from Iraq is the best case senario because they can’t really say what’s going to happen 11 moths from now because the entire region could be totally change from now, which is basically common sense and the truth; not a change in Obama’s stance on the war, but his advisor stating her opinion which could be considered a contradition to Obama’s stance. Wake up people and grow a brain. If this is news then there is no news.

Samatha Power comments that Hillary is a monster, which was suppose to be off the record, says a lot. She obviously have a dislike for the dirty politics of the Clinton campaign’s win at all cost mantra and had to tell the guy how she feels “off the record” but you knew they was going to publish those comments. She didn’t say it on the air and yet they still published the comments even though she wanted them to be off the record….. that’s how she really feel about Hillary people….. she’s a monster!

 
Comment by belle

Can’t he talk about anything except that he gave this speech against the war? It reminds me of how Guiliani kept talking about 9-11 everytime he spoke.

 
Comment by Edna

Newt Gingrich said on FOX tonight there are certain ways you can deal with men in a campaign that you can not deal with a woman. So the trick is finding a way to deal with a woman and win the campaign without being offensive, or words to that effect. I was wondering which of our country is going to worry about the politically correct way to deal with a woman, should Hillary become president, especially if they are terrorist groups or our enemy in any way.

 
Comment by Patty

Hey Obama, It wasnt you who built your campaign…It was people like Joe Anthony who built websites on myspace who built your campaign to be what it is today!!! And after all the work Joe Anthony did for your stupid campaign….All he got was a smack in the face, Taking over his PRIVATE myspace website and stealing all his work!!! YOU ARE A TYPICAL POLITICIAN who pretends to be someone different.. YOU ARE A SICK PERSON TO THINK WE WILL WANT YOU AS PRESIDENT AFTER THE WAY YOU TREAT A PERSON WHO HAS DONE EVERYTHING HE COULD TO BUILD YOU UP TO SOMETHING YOU ARE DEFINITLY NOT!!!! Go back to Africa!!!! YOU ARE A FAKE….LOOSER!!!!!!

As president, Bill Clinton pardoned Viktor Bout’s partner Marc Rich before he left the office.

Will Hillary Clinton “reject” any pardon request for the merchant of death Viktor Bout if she becomes president?

 
Comment by Randy G

Sen. Obama surprised me when he refused to answer the Press corp.’s Question about Obama’s realtionship with Tony Rezko, on Trial in Federal Court! Instead Obama Blasts Hillary Clinton over her tax returns, Why??? What I WANT to know is how Sen. Obama is connected to Rezko, on Trial in Federal Court!! In Addition, Again Michelle Obama’s degrading comments on American People is Really Upsetting!!! Sen. Obama needs to stop getting a free pass from the media and questioned about certain things. Obama MUST understand he’s running for the Highest Office in the Land! Fox News is fair. That’s why I like watching Fox news so I can learn All about Every candidate, without the free pass!

 
Comment by Jim

to begin with, in the Tex. debate, there was the great ignorance Obama showed to the world when he told that story about the platoon, etc…displaying a lack of knowledge about how the military is structured, etc…

next, in the Cleve. debate, he stated that he`d take action…if intel indicated that Al-Quaeda was building a base there…what?…wait a min!…this from a guy who stated he was against the war from the start?!…

when the war started, the US had intel which indicated that Al-Quaeda had bases in Iraq…the very same condition in which Obama states he`d take action over there…just like Bush did!!!

which means Obama was either lying in the debate or when he says he was against the war from the start.

btw, Hillary showed her superior experience, etc., by correctly answering this question…because a good Commander-in-Chief needs to know the facts before answering such questions…

she was also correct in pointing out that Obama wasn`t in the Sen. at the start to vote on the war…and he`s going to say what ever makes him look good…so, of course he`s going to say that he was against the war from the start…makes him look smarter than everyone else…especially to his followers…

and speeches, etc., aren`t the same…there`s a HUGE difference between giving speeches, etc., and voting with a constituency to answer to, nearly all of who were for the war at the time…

in fact, on and just after 9/11, very nearly every American was for going to war or dropping a bomb on those responsible for what took place…especially NYer`s…

quite simply, Today`s world is too dangerous for a Pres. to be learning on the job…and openly negotiating without pre-conditions…with our enemies/terrorists…many of who HOPE every American drops dead this very moment…and would CHANGE the United States to something other than democracy…to think otherwise, like Obama, is extremely naive.

so, i can see it now…terrorists in the streets with signs which say,

“OBAMA 08!…CHANGE EVEN WE CAN BELIEVE IN!!!”

Comment by Carol

Obama you are not only a liar, hypocrite & a fake you are a sissy!!!

At least Hillary never pretended to be something she’s not. She is tough as nails and has balls of steel. She makes you look like a little girl.

Something new and fresh?

1. Rezko - all of sudden you do remember doing a walk-through with a realtor & Rezko - letting Rezko help finance your dream home.

2. Naftagate - Say one thing to voters and say something different to Canada.

3. Your wife says she has never been proud of this country. We wonder about you because you won’t put your hand on your heart during the pledge and refuse to wear a flag pin.

4. Your “christian church” prefers the black race to the human race & Africa to USA and sees Farrakan as a role model.

5. You tell voters you will get troops out of Iraq within weeks and now it’s year or more?

6. You say you will run a clean campaign and your top foreign policy advisor can’t keep from using the politics of self destruction?

Sounds like CHANGE YOU CAN’T BELIEVE IN

 
Comment by OBAMA THE TRAITOR

I can’t believe anybody would back Barack Hussein Obama

I can’t believe anybody would back Barack Hussein Obama….YES…his middle name is HUSSEIN……does anybody out there in lala land get this. People have to be idiots to vote for somebody that believes in Islam….which supports terrorism!!! I guess people have not a clue. He even turns his back on the U.S. Flag before Democratic debates. You people need to wake up and get a clue to what will happen if ever a person who believes and was brought up by the teachings of Islam, what he will do to this great nation of ours. Hillary will win the Democratic party anyway, but hopefully won’t be Prez of the U.S.

Go REPUBLICANS!

 
Comment by The Real Barack Obama

Michelle Obama’s comment that, for the first time in her adult life, she feels proud of America helps crystallize who Barack Obama is.

To be sure, the wife of a candidate is perfectly free to have views that are distinct from her husband’s. But on a matter that is so fundamental to one’s being as love of country, it is difficult to imagine that Michelle Obama would publicly twice make such a statement suggesting disdain for America unless she felt it comported with her husband’s views.

Equally important, her statement aligns perfectly with the hate-America views of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Barack Obama’s minister, friend, and sounding board for more than two decades. On the Sunday following 9/11, Wright characterized the terrorist attacks as a consequence of violent American policies. Four years later, Wright suggested that the attacks were retribution for America’s racism.

“In the 21st century, white America got a wake-up call after 9/11/01,” Wright wrote in his church magazine Trumpet. “White America and the Western world came to realize that people of color had not gone away, faded into the woodwork or just ‘disappeared’ as the Great White West kept on its merry way of ignoring black concerns.”

Wright has been a key supporter of Louis Farrakhan, and in December, honored the Nation of Islam leader for lifetime achievement, saying he “truly epitomize[s] greatness.”

Farrakhan has repeatedly made hate-filled statements targeting Jews, whites, America, and homosexuals.

Those who think two of the closest people to Obama could publicly make anti-America statements unless Obama himself felt that way, are fooling themselves. To date, Obama has proven himself to be nothing more than a great orator, rendering the statements of those around him even more important in illuminating his true character and agenda. During his Senate career, he skipped 17 percent of the votes and sponsored only one bill that became law. That bill was to promote “relief, security, and democracy in the Democratic Republic of Congo.”

Bereft of official accomplishments, Obama has distinguished himself mainly by being against measures that protect American security, such as finishing the mission in Iraq. If we were to leave Iraq quickly, as Obama vows he would do, it would become a launch pad for al-Qaida attacks on the U.S.

Obama avoided voting on extending the Protect America Act, thus putting America at risk when immediate interception of terrorist communications is required. Last August, Obama voted against a measure that would have allowed the U.S. to continue to monitor overseas conversations of terrorists like Osama bin Laden without first obtaining a warrant.

If his radical vote had prevailed, bin Laden would have been given the same rights as Americans.

To this day, Obama has not distanced himself from most of Rev. Wright’s comments. In a statement supposedly issued to address the matter, Obama ignored the point that his minister and friend had spoken adoringly of Farrakhan and that Wright’s church was behind the award to the Nation of Islam leader. Instead, as outlined in a Jan. 17 Newsmax article, he disingenuously claimed he thought the magazine bestowed the award on Farrakhan for his efforts to rehabilitate ex-prisoners.

Neither Wright’s encomiums about Farrakhan nor the Trumpet article mentions ex-prisoners.

Similarly, after John McCain’s wife Cindy responded to Michelle Obama’s remarks by telling a Wisconsin rally, “I have, and always will be, proud of my country,” Barack Obama told a radio interviewer that his wife did not say what people think she said. He then proceeded to rewrite her comments, claiming that she had meant she was encouraged by the “large numbers of people” who have gotten involved in the political process. Michelle Obama then made a similar revision of her remarks.

In her speech in Milwaukee, Michelle Obama said flatly, “For the first time in my adult lifetime, I am really proud of my country, and not just because Barack has done well, but because I think people are hungry for change.”

And what has been wrong with America up to now? That it gave Michelle the opportunity to attend Princeton and Harvard Law School? That it gave Barack Obama the chance to attend Columbia University and Harvard Law School and become a U.S. senator making more than $1 million a year from book royalties?

Was it that America stopped Nazi Germany from continuing to murder millions of Jews? That America has provided Africa and other countries with $15 billion to combat the spread of AIDS/HIV and that another $30 billion is on the way? That 46 percent of all Americans classified by the Census Bureau as poor own their own homes, 76 percent of them have air conditioning, and 75 percent of them have at least one car? Or that America allows us to express our views freely without fear of being put in jail, as is the case in Russia?

A lawyer, Michelle Obama is perfectly capable of expressing herself precisely. In fact, she spoke from a written speech.

Those who do not want to believe she meant what she said — and that Barack Obama could not be so close to Rev. Wright if he did not himself believe in much of what he has said — are in denial.

The real Barack Obama is starting to emerge, and for those of us who are grateful to America for everything it represents, it is not a pretty sight

 
Comment by OBAMA IS A TRAITOR

I am considering changing parties. I have been a democrat for decades, but now,
if Obama wins, I have to vote republican. I just read about this Osama closet muslim
and he is very scary. The thought of this person in charge of our military is umbelievable!
The reason Obama was against the Iraq invasion was beacuse Iraq is a muslim nation!
Osama lied about his religion, he was/is a muslim. He outwardly changed religion
because a muslim would have a more difficult time being elected. His long time partner
in crime, Resko, is a Syrian muslim. Resko raised a huge fortune to get Osama started
in politics. As you may know, Resko is in jail without bound and his trial is set
for march 04, if Obama doesn’t have the date changed. I found this website, very
informative, http://www.freedomsenemies.com/_more/obama.htm

 
Comment by OBAMA IS A TRAITOR

Obama - identifies his nationality and allegience to AFRICA
Obama - close connection with a religion - that is also associated with
sects that HATE AMERICANS and want us DEAD
Obama - non-military man who wants to become-Commander in Chief
Obama - also claims to be black - but is bi-racial
Obama - no business expierence, but yet will be Chief over many US
Federally owned corporations.
Obama - inspires change of ONEness, but record proves separates by
allegience to certain races & social status first, all others second.
Obama - no substainal Washington DC experience
Obama - no substainal foreign experience.
Obama - claims to have learned “responsibility” from his grandparents,
but as a leader, wants to “GIVE” to those who don’t asume
responsibility for their own hopes, desires, dreams & decisions.
Obama - dedicated leader in his community with black folks, and some-
how believes that qualifies him to lead the majority of whites.
Obama - is willing to have “TALKS” with Castro #2, simply because
Castro #1 stepped down, and doesn’t notice nothings different.
Obama - Welcome more minorities without education, be glad to foot
your bill.
Obama - Maybe some border fencing, but not really to keep anyone out,
because we all know that partial fencing is merely a detour.
Obama - articulate and inspirational speaker with a Robin Hood mentality.
Obama - yeah a change… call for more money from the RICH, who are
the ones who could provide more jobs, but will instead send
more money off shore. (great for our economy)
Obama - yeah a change… leave the middle class to pick up MORE slack
for illegals and poor and the CHANGE…. more poor than middle
class.
Obama - YEAH…. YIPPIE…. the GOVERNMENT will pay for EVERYTHING…
almost sounds like socialism….hmmm.

CLINTON - SIMILAR TO OBAMA…..
One really good difference is she claims to be an AMERICAN,
FIRST AND ONLY.

WOW…….I don’t even have to ponder …. NO THANKS

 
Comment by OBAMA IS A TRAITOR

Oh my! Are the pieces of the puzzle falling into place about Obama? The truth always comes out in time.
1) Refuses to wear an American Flag lapel pin.
2) Doesn’t put his hand over his heart.
3) His wife has never been proud of America as an adult until now.
4) Farrakhan now endorses Obama.
5) The picture is out.
6) I read somewhere that he is not a strong supporter of Israel.

This is so scary. What kind of change is he talking about? I believe our country was founded on christian values and we need to make sure that it stays that way. These 6 items may not be anything important-but We cannot gamble with this.

Obama claims to be for all American’s and that he will unite the Blue and Red States by winning over Republicans and Independents. So, how does Obama plan to reach out to win over Republicans and Independents in these states?

Here is how Obama is reaching out so far. He refuses to display the traditions of Republicans and Independents.

He refuses to wear an American flag lapel pin.

He refuses to place his had on his heart when reciting the Pledge of Allegiance or the National Anthem.

He does not salute the US Flag.

His wife claims she has been really proud of her country only once in her adult life.

A diplomat would never insult a foreign county by behaving as Obama does in HIS OWN COUNTRY.

How can we have a Commander in Chief that is uncomfortable wearing an American Flag lapel pin, but is right at home in Muslim garb?

Obama is losing to McCain in the key and crossover red states. With Obamas crass attitude, there is no way he will win over Republicans or Independents there.

Obama will lose the General Election in one of the biggest landslides. That will be the end of his career and thank God for that.

Comment by Jim

under-handed politics?…when it comes to issues, Obama takes the cake and eats it too…along with his foot…

this is just a jr. Sen. with 2 yrs. of experience at the fed. level…just your typical Wash. politician…and considered very ordinary, if that even, by his fellow Sens…and never really acomplished any more significant change there…than anyone else after only 2 yrs…as for bringing the Sen. together, his record shows that he`s not even good at that…McCain`s much better at compromising and bringing Congrees together, along with over half the Sen., and has the record to prove it.

despite this, he`s out there making ALL kinds of promises of hope and change…and promising everything to everybody… like he`s some great Agent of Change appointed by God…but without the record to back it up…without ever mentioning that he`ll need Congress to pass all his expensive programs and promises for everybody…never mentioning that he`ll really have to raise taxes on everyone to deliver on ALL his promises…not just the rich…in order to pay for ALL his programs and promises…and, at the same time, he`s too naive to check with real economists, who pretty much all agree that his plans would make the recession we`re in 10x worse…since, according to them, we`ll most likely still be in this recession when the new Pres. takes over!

and just what does anyone think this guy is really going to change…he plays the dirty game of politics just like other politicians…and just like he always has…the difference is that they`re not out there preaching that they`re going to change Wash…cure all the world`s ills…promising everything to everybody…and saying pretty things like, “We are the change we`ve been waiting for!”

truth is, those of us a bit older have seen his act before…it`s called Ross Perot…someone who also talked a lot about cleaning up Wash…inspirational but not evangelical, change, hope, etc…also extremely pop. this early on…and also very good at explaining all the problems in Wash. politics…but when he finally started to get detailed with his solutions, his falling poll nos. fell even faster…and we haven`t seen much of him since…

again, as for Obama reaching across the aisle to bring the Senate together and CHANGE things, according to other Senators in a special Fox News report, both D and R, he`s never done anything special to distinguish himself from anyone else there in his all-to-brief 2 yrs…avg. at best according to most interviewed…and many times, he wasn`t even present to help his fellow R and
D Senators get things done to CHANGE things!

Obama`s the biggest fake/best con artist who`s ever run for Pres…good to see that more and more of the country is starting to realize this…in the latest nat. polls, Hillary`s actually overtaken him and has opened up a 4 pt. lead, 48%-44%…it`s just too bad we all didn`t know what we now do about this guy all along!

Barack “Hussein” Obama —

For the good of the democratic party please bow out of the race! The majority of us all know that you are a liar and your affiliation with Farrakhan, Pastor Wright, Ted Kennedy, Rezko, and I’m sure many more that we don’t know about, are based on your determination to destroy this country, as we all know it! Save yourself and your family the embarrassment of being impeached cause that will surely follow in the near future should you become president.

Save yourself and your reputation now before more ugly facts come out about you, and you know there are more secrets in your closet that will come out. If not now, they will during the Presidential election!!

Now… SHOO - BE GONE !!

 
Comment by Vote Hillary R. Clinton

This is what I have been explaining before. Hillary started with 49% nationally before Iowa. She drop to 44%(before Texas) when Edwards got out. obama’s support rises and falls, but Hillary has kept her democratic base through out (women,seniors, older hispanics, and the working class). These are strong democrats who will vote democratic (possibly on if Hillary is nominee). obama fluctuates with republican cross overs and independents (who may or may not vote Democratic).

 
Comment by Vote Hillary R. Clinton

In 2004, George Bush won 30 states + ohio, John Kerry won 19 + DC. Ohio put George Bush in the White House. The election will look the same this year. The democrats will need ohio to be delivered by Hillary R. Clinton.

It’s obvious you do not want a black intelligent man to win…..and that’s okay. But to root for the true treasonist, Hillary and Bill (remember China… and the nuclear technology they sold) so to try to put her in office is down right unamerican….. I hope your scheme to destroy obama does not backfire by that devious, emotional nut getting into the white house. McCain just might lose to her….but she won’t get my vote. and for your uneducated people worried about Rezko…there’s no case there, stop being lazy and research it yourself. You will see the 150000 donated to obama’s campaign was returned. case closed he’s a decent man.

 
Comment by RJ

Please - Just get Obama out of here immediately. I was almost sick to see an Obama sign out in a pasture on the way home. But maybe the location with a bunch of cud chewing herd animals was appropriate. Dont they realize that if that yahoo gets in Whitehouse we will become a magor target for every wanna be terrorist with a rocket launcher? Instead of protecing the country they will be determined to change us so that we lose our culture and values in an attempt to offend radicals less. Obama talks about the politics of fear, what he wants is the politics of cowardice.

here`s the man who would be Pres…and a sneak peak into the inauguration if elected:

http://www.time.com/time/photogallery/0,29307,1662530_1446035,00.html

maybe he`ll even decide to dress up for the ocasion should he get elected…in his African garb…

more seriously, and i don`t care how he and his followers try to spin it, you`d think that this guy would at least look at the American flag and put his hand over his heart to pay tribute to all the men, woman, etc., who died defending it…and pay tribute to all the freedoms, rights, etc., which it stands for…including his…and in a country which provides him, and any true African-American? fitting the qualifications, the freedom to run for President!

the ? is there because the wide-spread belief that he`s African-American is helping him to get very nearly all their votes…when, to be legally African-American, one must meet the, ‘1/16 or greater’, criteria…he DOES NOT!!!

Comment by Vote Hillary R. Clinton

Just because John Kerry, Ted Kennedy, and Chris Dodd found themselves a passable house boy does not mean I will run out and vote for him, because I am black.

 
Comment by Jim

one last thing for now…i think…Obama`s a creation right out of Hollywood…a writer for the WestWing TV series is 1 of Obama`s main speech-writers.

in a special Fox News Report, they showed a fictional character from the WestWing TV show giving a speech…and then used numerous excerpts from Obama`s speeches to show just how similar Obama`s speeches are to this fictional character`s…in the WestWing TV show!

 
Comment by NO O-BUM-A

Who is the RACIST????

As for Israel, “The Israelis have illegally occupied Palestinian territories for over 40 years now,” Wright has said. “Divestment has now hit the table again as a strategy to wake the business community and wake up Americans concerning the injustice and the racism under which the Palestinians have lived because of Zionism.”

And we are to believe that O-BUM-A went to his church for 20 years. But he believe HE SUPPORTS ISREAL.??????

In sermons and interviews, Dr. Wright has equated Zionism with racism and Israel with South Africa under its previous policy of apartheid. On the Sunday after 9/11, Wright said the attacks were a consequence of violent American policies. Four years later, Wright suggested that the attacks were retribution for America’s racism.
“In the 21st century, white America got a wake-up call after 9/11/01,” Wright wrote in a church-affiliated magazine. “White America and the western world came to realize that people of color had not gone away, faded into the woodwork or just ‘disappeared’ as the Great White West kept on its merry way of ignoring black concerns.”
In one of his sermons, Wright said, “Racism is how this country was founded and how this country is still run!…We [in the U.S.] believe in white supremacy and black inferiority and believe it more than we believe in God.”

May be that you Rev. Write are full of hate and racism. But dont think all america is….

We are a congregation which is unashamedly black and unapologetically Christian,” says the Trinity United Church of Christ’s website in Chicago. “We are an African people and remain true to our native land, the mother continent, the cradle of civilization.”
That’s just the beginning. The church has a “non-negotiable commitment to Africa,” according to its website, and its pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright, Jr. subscribes to what is called the Black Value System.

I HAVE A NON-NEGOTIABLE COMMITMENT TO AMERICA… How can Obama when he goes to a church like this for 20 years???

This guy is all word’s and NO substance.
And what substance that can be found on him. Makes things even more scary.
A wife that’s never till now been proud to be American???

I don’t know about you all BUT I have been proud many many times.
One of the times I want you all to think of is. THE plane that went down in PA.
Think about it.. IT was very very sad. BUT a group of AMERICAN’S said you may kill us. BUT WE WILL NOT HELP YOU KILL OTHER”S.
THE fire fighter’s that went in to save others?? the People from all over the country that WENT to New york to help.

A Rev. Write as his mentor And father like figure. That is a racist pig that even other black churches want nothing to do with… who said 9/11 was the white mans fault for not paying attention to the black mans needs???????

NO THIS O-BUM-A IS NOT WHAT AMERICA NEEDS…
They have cleaned their about site up some… Removed some wording..
This used to be included… Is not now.

“Trinity has a non-negotiable commitment to Africa, is committed to the historical education of African people in diaspora and committed to liberation, restoration, and economic parity.”

There is more they have cleaned up … Along with the Rev. Write retireing. I Believe This is all in a efford to CLEAN Obama UP….

But Many of us have the text saved. And it is posted around the net.

Go here and start reading at 1988. Included is the scrubed Video’s and a saved spot on YouTube of Rev. Write sermon’s..
http://www.freedomsenemies.com/_Obama/ObamaReligion.htm

THE 1ST JOB OF PREZ. IS TO PROTECT AMERICA. 2nd is to handle foreign policy 3rd He can not make Law’s But he can Influence them.
The thing that really scares me About Obama . Is the Racist anti Jew stand he is connected in. with his connection to Rev. Write and His church of 20 years….

THINK of His “I want to change the mindset that got us 9/11 and In Iraq…..
Think he wants to make peace with these people that hate us. He wants to meet with them for peace..????
THINK what is the one thing these wackos (Osama, PLO. Iran……) all have against us??????

The same as his Rev. Write….
“The Israelis have illegally occupied Palestinian territories for over 40 years now,” Wright has said. “Divestment has now hit the table again as a strategy to wake the business community and wake up Americans concerning the injustice and the racism under which the Palestinians have lived because of Zionism.”

That’s right The Illegal government of Israel. AS the call it….Our defence OF ISREAL….

THE ONLY THING HE CAN GIVE THESE WACKO’S FOR PEACE IS THAT WE WILL NO LONGER PROTECT ISREAL

FOX, I see you allow racist folks to leave any type of comment on your blogs…for the idiot that wants OBAMA to go back to Africa, What exactly is she talking about..RACIST B$%th

 
Comment by Lionel

I’m independent and liked both candidates, but lately I am appalled by Hillary Clinton’s attack on Obama.
She complimented John McCain over Obama, someone that she may need help from should she win the nomination!!! She did this twice. Be aggressive but don’t burn bridges.

I cannot believe all the people hating on Obama. Hillary Clinton is facing a investigation with Peter Paul over Illegal campaign activity. Plus, why can’t she just show her tax returns? Even if there is nothing to hide, she acts as if there is. Where are her White House records to endorse her experience. Our votes are serious we need to know!

Also, she cannot use her first lady experience as part of her being vetted for foreign policy. That means Laura Bush should run in four years! She will have eight years experience.
She supported the war! Simple and plain. All her experience and she did not have the guts to stand up against Bush. It is easy to talk tough when you are trying to get elected and Bush is on his way out.
How can she also agree to not put her name on the Michigan ballot with all the other candidates and expect for their votes to count for her?
That’s sounds a little dishonest.
I feel she is not completely truthful with the American people.
It came out after Ohio’s primary that her campaign contacted the Canadian official regarding their wink wink position on NAFTA. Plus she praised the success of NAFTA.
Am I the only one that feels that’s underhanded and dishonest?

I am inspired by those who support Hillary, but how do you feel about this news that I described about her. If you can convince me why she should be the president I am all ears.

I’m not sure about Obama! He has fired his aide that called Hillary a monster! (resigned)
However90, He does not tout John McCain’s experience in foreign policy over Clinton.
I know it’s a competition but he is a fellow Democrat.
His supporters will be offended if she goes to far. She will not win the election without them. Plus of he has more delegates going to the convention how can the superdelegates overturn the decision? This will push me away from voting Democratic because it doesn’t matter how many votes you have. They can pick who they want.
If Hillary is leading And Obama gets chosen. I will feel the same way.

I want facts preferably not alot of bashing in response to why I should vote for Hillary!
Thanks for posting your responses.

 
Comment by Delmont Olds

It’s not fair!

Billary must have all of the good screeners ensuring that only competent liars, able to keep up the smiley-face facade at all times, are taken into their campaign.

Makes me wonder if Obama isn’t able to find snaky law students working at used-car dealerships on commission-only for finessing his campaign — like back in the gilded age of the Brothers Kennedy.

 
Comment by Kevin - OR

Ranchers in Wyoming will be slitting their own throats if they vote for Obama. He would reduce grazing on federal lands, and he believes that the federal govt. should be involved in State’s water rights decisions. That would most likely reduce water available to ranchers.

 
Comment by ari

*brilliantt idea,finally somebody with some sense, that old law of 19th century needs overhaul,
millions of cows on grazing on basically free land and destroying it along the way
give it back to the wild which will sing a sign of relieve,
some mitigation fine, and is done is some places, overall cows a menace to the land.
one of the worst disasters in the west (water and environmentally)

 
Comment by Like it or not

Let’s cut the crap here. Some of you are just so terrified that someone who isn’t 100% white has a very good chance of being President. You don’t believe in the Constitution or the Declaration of Independence. Many of you also don’t much like the idea of a woman being President either.
The blatant hostility in some of your comments reveals the truth. When you have to resort to fear mongering rather than making a legitimate point, it becomes obvious. When you attempt to push people’s buttons rather than trying to reason with them, you betray yourselves as intellectually inferior. Ignorance is the true enemy of a free society.

 
Comment by Independent

Now we can really watch the Hussein Obama attack teams continue their tactics of intimidation. The intimidation attacks on some Black delegates by Hussein Obama’s attack teams are certain to escalate as he attempts to make up for the losses in Texas and Ohio. How low will this guy go … and he talks about Hope, a New Direction, Uniting the World … is this his new direction? Beware of Hussein Obama.

“African-American superdelegates said Thursday that they’ll stand up against threats, intimidation and “Uncle Tom” smears rather than switch their support from Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton to Sen. Barack Obama.”

“African-American superdelegates are being targeted, harassed and threatened,” said Rep. Emanuel Cleaver II (D-Mo.), a superdelegate who has supported Clinton since August. Cleaver said black superdelegates are receiving “nasty letters, phone calls, threats they’ll get an opponent, being called an Uncle Tom.”

At least a few women politicians had courage and stood up to the Hussein Obama intimidation and attack teams.

“With all due respect to my colleagues, whoever you are, I firmly believe if you don’t have loyalty and integrity, what do you have? … I am a woman of my word. I will not leave her,” said Ohio Rep. Stephanie Tubbs Jones.”

“Neither will California Rep. Diane Watson, though she said she’s received not only pressure, but also threatening e-mails. “We can disagree. But I don’t think that’s a cause for viciousness and for launching a campaign against me,” Watson said.”

And this is the guy that says I have a new “Direction”, I will bring “Change”, I will provide “Hope” …. and if necessary to win, I will intimidate those Blacks who do not support me. Somebody has to be kidding about Hussein Obama.

 
Comment by ari

its not rocket science!
Hillary too many shady friends(indicted /jail), dodgy deals, evasive answers, and accepted
too much money from special interests (especially insurance company’s)
competent yes, but then as senator or health secretary
McCain, angry, unstable, old,hypocritical warmonger(special interests, friends indicted/jail)
on one hand centrist and ultra-hawk other, only about security and war not much else
and just too old, oldest would be leader in the world, great symbolically when country is in a slump.
Obama far ahead on these two qua character and personality
energetic and vision, perfect not by any means.

 
Comment by Independent

Hussein Obama’s greatest strength is he still gets a big percent of the Black racist vote … reports indicate 90+ percent. When a group votes to that level primarily by race it certainly gives the candidate an advantage. It is interesting how many people Hussein can bring into his fold with nothing more than vague words and expressions … doesn’t say much for a segment of our population.

Fortunately, a small group of the African-American superdelegates have shown they are intellegent enough not to get sucked into the Hussein Obama hype … now lets hope the people of the great state of Wyoming also see the nothingness of the Hussein Obama campaign.

 
Comment by barbara

Of course Obama didn’t vote on Iraq. He didn’t have a vote. Did any of you have a vote on Iraq? Of course not. Since he has been in the Senate he has voted the same as Clinton every time. This is the man that will bring change? He is manipulating you and you can’t even see it. Each and every debate at least once he stated “I agree with what Hillary just said”. He has no original thought except his word of change. Yes just words.

Google “nadhmi auchi” then google ” nadhmi auchi obama”. He is friends with Resko and has business dealings with Resko. His pastor is the pastor of the most racist church in the country. He looks up to his pastor. His pastor inspires him. His pastor has ties with Farrakhan. Farrakhan would like the annihilation of the Jews. Obama also likes Farrakhan and Farrakhan has ties with Nadhmi Auchi who has worked previously with Saddam Hussein to assassinate leaders of the middle east.

Just what type of change do you think Obama will bring about? That fuzzy good feeling or maybe turn this country into a racist country that will not tolerate whites, Jew’s and Hispanics!!!

 
Comment by Nebraska Dan

I went across state lines last night to see Obama speak at U of WY in Laramie. I’ve read some comments listed here - and I’m going against the majority as he has gotten my vote. The ability of him uniting the nation and world is evident. Now is the time .

 
Comment by barbara

If you would like to hear about what Obama thought in 2006 about the Iraq war then follow the link below. He is using the ” I did not vote for the war” as if he even had a vote. That is a Lie!!!
Obama supporters. read and weep
