Obama Sings!

It wasn’t as bad as Hillary Clinton singing the National Anthem, but Senator Barack Obama may want to keep his day job. At a town hall meeting in Malvern, PA, Obama noted that today marked the 82nd birthday of former PA Senator and Obama supporter Harris Wofford — who was in the crowd of more than 2,000.

“No only has harris been a great supporter, not only was he a close confidant to President Kennedy, but Harris Wofford also is 82 years old today. It is his birthday,” he said, asking for a big round of applause.

What he got instead was a chorus of the Birthday Song. Obama joined in at the end… take a listen and tell us what you think of his singing voice.

If anyone else comes into this compound to steal my wives and their children, you’re toast!
So far, over 400 of our hottest LDS babes have been carted off in church buses…
all because our religion urges us to impregnate and abuse 13 year-old girls.
What a crock!

P.S. Perhaps Obama could sing the next time I take on an additional teen-bride…never mind, as a non-Mormon, he’s not allowed in the temple, and as someone who is not ‘fair and lightsome’ in skin, he’d be frowned upon anyway.

Real funny, American Conservative. When Obama is president, you will be thrown in jail for making comments like that.

Michelle Obama and coordinators what more white people in the audience!!!!

The Carnegie Mellon University student newspaper The Tartan reports on preparations for a Michelle Obama appearance at the school:

While the crowd was indeed diverse, some students at the event questioned the practices of Mrs. Obama’s event coordinators, who handpicked the crowd sitting behind Mrs. Obama. The Tartan’s correspondents observed one event coordinator say to another, “Get me more white people, we need more white people.” To an Asian girl sitting in the back row, one coordinator said, “We’re moving you, sorry. It’s going to look so pretty, though.”

You regular Fox watcher will have to look that word up.

Was anyone surprised when Karl Rove became an analyst for Fox News? The channel has become a caricature of itself.

It is the WWF of news. But there are so many people who swear that WWF wrestling is true.

Sorta scary. They are playing off your inability to breath through your nose. Which is imperiling the rest of us while they get rich.

Oh please, it wasn’t bad at all! I hate to throw the stereotype out there, but why am I not surprised that FOX News decided to make a big deal of this? Fair and balanced Fox News, as always. [insert sarcasim now]

TO ALL DEMOCRATS READ THESE FACTS ABOUT GOP PLAN TO DESTROY HILLARY CLINTON>>>

Have you ever wonder ????? READ THESE FACTS>>>

TO ALL DEMOCRATS PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING FACTS>>>

Why the GOP Loves Obama

Wednesday, February 20, 2008 10:27 PM

By: Christopher Ruddy Article Font Size

Republicans this week are breathing a deep sigh of relief.

What was seen as a washout for them this coming November — with big losses expected in the House and Senate and a catastrophic loss of the White House — is now shaping up to be less ominous.

With the Democrats moving to pick Sen. Barack Obama as their nominee, the Republicans see a real opportunity to keep the Oval Office in GOP hands.

There is no question that the Republicans had viewed Hillary Clinton as the most formidable of the Democratic candidates.

During one of the primary debates, Obama suggested that the Republicans were “comfortable” attacking Hillary, suggesting they actually wanted her to be the nominee. Au contraire.

Republicans were attacking Mrs. Clinton because they believed she would be the nominee. They could hardly foresee Obama’s rise.

Indeed, she was the Democratic front-runner and hence the focus of their attacks. Now, Obama is discovering that he’s the focus of Republican scrutiny, with John McCain highlighting Obama’s accommodationist views with tyrants.

The glee seen in GOP eyes this week can be chalked up to the clearly visible fault lines shaping up for the November election, a seismic battle between McCain and Obama.

There are many reasons the GOP would rather face Obama. Here are some of the best reasons:

Obama is the risky liberal. Every time the Democrats run a liberal like Obama, who the National Journal reports has a 100 percent liberal voting record, they lose.

Remember President McGovern, President Dukakis, President Kerry? Mrs. Clinton, however, has been quite clever in her record and rhetoric to come across as more moderate. In New York state she consistently won hardcore Republican districts in her two Senate races.

A McCain insider told me this week that Obama’s support — for example, for driver’s licenses for illegals — is worth at least “five percentage points in the election.” Mrs. Clinton was smart enough to back away from that hot-button issue.

Obama energizes Democratic voters. It’s been talked about quite a bit that Obama is a charismatic man who energizes young voters. But young voters notoriously don’t vote.

Remember all the hoopla in the last election with MTV and its “Vote or Die” campaign to bring out antiwar young voters for President Kerry?

Indeed, Obama, as the first African-American candidate of a major party, will energize black voters. But don’t the Democrats know that black voters vote as a bloc for them already?

What does Obama actually bring to the table for Democrats? It’s not clear. Mrs. Clinton, as her longtime critic Dick Morris likes to point out, would have most assuredly energized women voters, especially millions of single moms that have never voted before.

Obama’s Latino problem. Clearly Latino or Hispanic voters are shaping up to be the key swing vote in this election, as they have been in recent elections. Some political pundits say George Bush’s come-from-behind win in 2004 was due to the solid 40 percent of Hispanics who voted for him, tipping the election in his favor.

This year was shaping up to be a terrible year for the GOP vis-à-vis Hispanic voters. But in primary after primary, Obama has had great difficulty winning over Latino voters.

Even in Illinois, where he beat Hillary to 2 to 1 in the primary, he only captured 52 percent of his home state’s Hispanic vote.

There are a variety of explanations for Obama’s Latino problem, including the belief there is an ethnic rivalry between Hispanics and blacks. Hispanics would like to see a Latino president in the White House, so the theory goes.

Mrs. Clinton, on the other hand, has done extremely well among Latino voters, perhaps owing to her husband’s likeability among these voters.

The recent primaries show Obama improving with Hispanic voters. Republicans, however, believe the problem with this key group will persist.

And then there is John McCain, who is the one Republican who is very well liked by Latino voters. He’s also a strong leader, which Hispanics respect. He’s pro-immigrant. As we all know, McCain joined Ted Kennedy in backing the recent immigration bill.

There’s little doubt Hillary could keep the Democratic stranglehold on Latino voters. Obama won’t.

Obama’s naiveté. Don’t forget, America is still in a war on terror. It is doubtful America will be tempted to go for an untested leader, no matter how charismatic he may be.

Some have drawn the comparison between Obama and JFK’s election win in 1960 during the height of the Cold War. But the Kennedy-Obama comparison is a weak one. For starters, John Kennedy was a war hero when he was elected president. Obama can make no such claim. Kennedy also had far more Washington experience in Congress and the Senate than Obama.

JFK also had his well-known father Joe at his side. And Democrats like to forget this, but Kennedy outflanked Nixon on defense issues, arguing that Nixon was too soft on communism. Obama’s dovish complaints about the Bush administration being too hawkish on terror won’t resonate with middle-of-the-road voters.

With good reason, the GOP is feeling better, finding its second wind as it coalesces around John McCain.

Despite some differences with the maverick senator, the Republican base will turn out for him. His $12 million fundraising haul for January is just one sign of that.

But there are many other reasons the GOP is more comfortable with Hillary out of the picture and Obama as the nominee.

First, Obama will not be able to lay claim to the good economic times of the 1990s that Bill Clinton presided over, as Hillary can. And Obama will be a nightmare for Democrats with swing voters in key states. Take for example the highly influential Cuban-American vote that Bill Clinton won in 1992 and 1996 — and was the key reason George Bush beat Al Gore.

The Cuban vote has been moving into the Democratic column but they will not go for Obama because he has clearly stated he will open up relations with Castro.

Sen. Clinton’s announced Cuba policies take a hard line, which resonates with these voters. And then there are the key Jewish communities in swing states like Florida and Ohio that are already deeply worried about electing Obama to the presidency.

Obama has talked openly about sitting down — without any preconditions — with Iran’s diabolical leader Ahmadinejad, who just this week referred to Israel as “bacteria” and has said in the past that the Jewish state is a “disgraceful blot” that should be “wiped off the map.”

With the McCain campaign blanketing key markets with TV ads featuring “independent Democrat” Sen. Joseph Lieberman, Obama will be in deep trouble.

The Democrats haven’t completely abandoned Hillary. But it sure looks that way.

There’s an oft-quoted saying that the Democrats “fall in love and Republicans fall in line.”

After this November, we may have to change that to “Democrats often like to run off the side of a cliff and the Republicans love to watch them.”

OUR APPEAL TO DNC LEADERSHIP AND ALL SUPERDELEGATES IS TO SUPPORT….

- SENATOR HILLARY CLINTON IF YOU WANT TO WIN BACK THE WHITE HOUSE.

- SUPERDELEGATE SHOULD VOTE BASE ON THE VERY PURPOSE WHY WE CREATED YOU…

- WHICH IS TO ELECT THE MOST ELECTABLE CANDIDATE WHO CAN BEAT GOP CANDIDATE…

- YOUR LOYALTY SHOULD BE FOR THE “PARTY AS A WHOLE” AND NOT FOR ONE PERSON…

Comment by Jim

Ok Christopher,
“yeah well we don’t need Obama’s form of change.”

Obama’s form of change:
Higher taxes - you mean for the super-wealthy

More Racial Tension - Yeah I like it the way it is now, sweep this issue under the rug, as long as we can keep ‘em down and not have to talk about it it’s fine with you right?

Give in to terrorists- you are simply uninformed. In my work I’ve had the opportunity to speak with some of the world’s top counter-terrorism experts and military advisors, when it comes to National Security and the War on Terror, they all tell me the same thing Obama has been saying since 2004 so I believe that Obama’s foreign policy will actually keep us safer and frankly, McCain’s vision (or lack thereof) is motivated by 1. Not wanting to admit that he was wrong and 2. Neo-Conservative agendas, not common sense, the Neo-cons won’t even listen to their own advisors unless they agree with their policies.

 
Comment by racqueteer

Oh no! Obama can’t sing OR bowl! I guess all he has left going for him are leadership, inspiration, oratorical skills, youthful energy, good looks, and an ability to bridge differences between ideologies.

I wonder how many hours you spent putting together that nonsense. Well at least now you have your template to spam on every comment section from here to the moon.

Hillary Clinton is not electable. Her husband lied and we impeached him. She is a liar just like her husband. The american people do not want blatent liars in office. Hillary needs to step down before she looses the last few shreds of respect people give her.

Comment by Clugs

Jim if you think Obama will only raise taxes for the super-wealthy then you are a typical ignorant Obama supporter. If you crunch the numbers for all of his ideas you will see what many educated Americans already know, the money will have to come from. He has proposed at least 287 billion in additional government spending and cosponsored a bill for an additional 845 billion a year to fight global poverty. With our country currently looking at a recession he is more concerned with supporting anyone and everyone who is unable or unwilling to support themselves. He will say whatever he needs to say to get elected. His relationship with his minister and his church is in stark contrast to what many Americans believe, but he has the wool pulled so far over most of his supporters eyes that they are like lemmings being led off a cliff.

Obama’s Trinity United Church of Christ in Chicago espouses what it calls the Black Value System. While the Black Value System encourages commitment to God, education, and self-discipline, it refers to “our racist competitive society” and includes the disavowal of the pursuit of “middle-classness” and a pledge of allegiance to “all black leadership who espouse and embrace the Black Value System.”

The Black Value System defines “middle-classness” as a way for American society to “snare” blacks rather than “killing them off directly” or “placing them in concentration camps,” just as the country structures “an economic environment that induces captive youth to fill the jails and prisons.”

He can’t carry a tune in a basket. He really needs to stop trying to be Mr. Everyman to everybody.
What’s next, he’d be in a clown suit juggling chain saws. Ridiculous!!

Oh my Clugs?!?!?!?!!! You’re so very delusional. Where did all that come from? I think you should be running for president with all these ideas of a philospher. You major in Philosophy? You had better. You’d make a good philosopher, because you sure write like one. You draw from the abstract. You write as if on a sleep-walk-and-type mood. Wake up!!!!!!!!!

Comment by Angry at the Media

Obama’s definition of “Change” is like that of a chameleon. The similarity is that both Obama and the chameleon change according to their surroundings. Obama tells you what you want to hear, then does the opposite behind your back. That beautiful speech that he gave WAS JUST WORDS. He didn’t mean a word he said but you obama supporters think he’s being sincere. After he throws his grandmother under the bus, he uses her in a tv add. HE IS PIMPING HIS FAMILY!!!!!!! He is no good!! Disgusting mentality and all of the people in his campaign are of the same dirty dna as Obama. Ugh!

Hillary’s strength and leadership is superior to Obama’s hands down!

Comment by wed

Hannity is an expert on the American political process, yet he has never completed any formal education. He is the foremost expert on American race relationship, yet he spend years rubbing elbows with Hal Turner. Hannity is America’s top expert on patriotism; he has never served in the military. Hannity is the most impartial figure on any news channel, but he is so fixated with Rev. Wright it’s starting to look like a homosexual lust. Hannity the is the most unbiased person on television, but he can not stop talking about Barack Obama (I think he is in love with the guy).

Oh my goodness not OBAMA enough is enough. He’s a great motivational speaker talking unity of the country but what about his plan…a concrete plan to fix anything listen to his speeches he says NOTHING about how & how much. Go ahead OBAMA keep buying off the super delegates….How many jobs have you promised out, how many palms have you greased…REALLY OBAMA where are you really getting your money…Don’t tell me it’s from all those people you denounced…Don’t worry the media won’t dime you out. Even though we all know you won’t do a thing. Read your own speeches. Be amazed like the rest of us…
Stop the “Golden Child”
Here’s some questions I want answered
**What is Obama’s “real relationship” with Larry Sinclair? Why is Sinclair so eager to take a lie detector test to tell the truth about Obama?
**What is the real truth about indicted political fixer Tony Renko? Do you smell cover up??
** First there was was Rev. Wright now theres another Pastor…Who else is in that Obama Closet?
How come Rev. Wright just “disappeared?? Come on if the media can take us through the Paris Hilton jail time like it was head lining news why haven’t they found Rev. Wright to get his side of this?…Because the media does not want to know what else he has said in the past or present how convient that he “retired”…OBAMA 19 years and 364 days to late….
I would not and will not vote for Obama, period. He is a typical politician, he is not an agent of change in my eyes. If he were, he would not have had to steal words for his own speeches. The state of our nation and the people in it would have been important enough to inspire him with his own words. Not only that, but he has misspoken or lied on several issues and positions himself…he just isn’t crucified for the misspeaking as Clinton is. CNN did the story on how biased the media coverage is, slanting toward Obama. Oh, and lets not forget his phenomenal fund raising abilities. If he can’t win the election on his own merit, at least he can buy it. I think our nation will be sorry if he is put in the Whitehouse, and I won’t be a party to that by voting for him. If he is declared the nominee, I just won’t vote.

 
Comment by MarkieBee

Unless you make more than $250,000 and have been enjoying those Bush tax breaks yet not allowing your windfall to “trickle down” then you have nothing to worry about from Obama and your taxes. He’s going after those who have not been paying their fair share and when he levels the playing field and forces the Iraqis to stand up for themselves and stops us from spending $1 Billion a week in that God-forsaken land, we’ll have plenty of money to go around. So relax, and ready yourself for the Obama renaissance.

 
Comment by Kelly

This is his new campaign strategy in anticipation by the Republicans to challenge him on the patriotism issue. He now goes around saying how much he loves America. Don’t be too fooled. Picture Michelle Obama in the White House and the rest of the Black Liberation members including Rev. Wright.

 
Comment by Jon

Vote for Hillary - don’t be fooled by all this. The Republicans want Obama, the Democratic party thinks he can win, but he can’t. They are afraid of Hillary. Obama has done absolutely NOTHING IN HIS ENTIRE POLITICAL CAREER. He is an egomaniac and I can’t wait to see Hillary be the nominee.

Hey “FAE”
In respect to the event coordinators wanting more white folks behind Michelle Obama, I can only say where have you been? Every political event has some staging.
Look at any candidate at a planned photo op, and you see racial diversity behind him/her

You even get seats with “Reserved” stuck on them in church thereby guaranteeing the look and balance of the first few rows.

“There is no room in this country for hyphenated Americanism. When I refer to hyphenated Americans, I do not refer to naturalized Americans. Some of the very best Americans I have ever known were naturalized Americans, Americans born abroad. But a hyphenated American is not an American at all. This is just as true of the man who puts “native” before the hyphen as of the man who puts German or Irish or English or French before the hyphen. Americanism is a matter of the spirit and of the soul. Our allegiance must be purely to the United States. We must unsparingly condemn any man who holds any other allegiance. But if he is heartily and singly loyal to this Republic, then no matter where he was born, he is just as good an American as any one else.

The one absolutely certain way of bringing this nation to ruin, of preventing all possibility of its continuing to be a nation at all, would be to permit it to become a tangle of squabbling nationalities, an intricate knot of German-Americans, Irish-Americans, English-Americans, French-Americans, Scandinavian-Americans or Italian-Americans, each preserving its separate nationality, each at heart feeling more sympathy with Europeans of that nationality, than with the other citizens of the American Republic. The men who do not become Americans and nothing else are hyphenated Americans; and there ought to be no room for them in this country. The man who calls himself an American citizen and who yet shows by his actions that he is primarily the citizen of a foreign land, plays a thoroughly mischievous part in the life of our body politic. He has no place here; and the sooner he returns to the land to which he feels his real heart-allegiance, the better it will be for every good American. There is no such thing as a hyphenated American who is a good American. The only man who is a good American is the man who is an American and nothing else.

For an American citizen to vote as a German-American, an Irish-American, or an English-American, is to be a traitor to American institutions; and those hyphenated Americans who terrorize American politicians by threats of the foreign vote are engaged in treason to the American Republic.

What a shame the Congress and Senate of 1947, could not imagine the spouse of the President running for President. If they had, we may not have to watch the Democratic Party loose face in the public eye. The 22nd amendment would read: No person or their spouse shall be elected to the office of the President more than twice, and no person or their spouse who has held the office of President, or acted as President, for more than two years of a term to which some other person was elected President shall be elected to the office of the President more than once.

If Obama is the nominee and goes on to be President, We are all doomed.

He is merely a speech.

The DNC and Big whig Democrats want him as a puppet. That is why they are pushing him.
They know they can not control Clinton as they can control Obama.

So While the DNC and Big whig Democrats Play God and political fixer. and have done their darnest to fix the election in obama favor they are going to lose the general with him.

So they are willing to tear the party apart and lose the election, What fools.

They have proven over and over they do not care about the people.

They will only have themselves to thank, when all is said and done.

Clinton would of defeated McCain with no problems.

” A Revolution is coming- a revolution which will be peaceful if we are wise enough: compassionate if we care enough ; successful if we are fortunate enough- but a revolution is coming whether we will it or not. We can affect it’s character, we cannot alter it’s inevitability.”

I must confess I used to be a huge fan of Hannity and the Fox Network, but after the whole story with Rev Wright, I’ve been just disgusted with Hanity. As a Republican and an AA I used to think Mr Hannity was in support of our troops, but after the whole story of Rev. Wright broke, Mr Hannity on his radio show which I used to listen to never spends at least a segment talking about our troops, it’s always about Obama this Obama that.

I must thank Hannity, because of him I started listening to Obama’s speeches and read his book, and his making a very good impression on me. Guess what now folks I’ll be voting for Obama in November all thanks to Fox and Mr Hannity.

For over 300 years people came to these shores to look for a better life. Some had money, but most came with nothing more than the clothes on their backs. Some could speak the language, but many, many more came who only knew their native tongue. They came with NO guarantee of a job, NO free health care, NO social service “safety net”. Some came owing their passage with years of work for those that sponsored them, some came in chains. Most were NOT welcomed with open arms, some were outright HATED.

Throughout those 300 year these groups of people learned English, scraped a living out of this land,
and tried to provide a better life for their kids, generation after generation. With their hard work they accomplished a piece of the American dream. Well MOST groups did. We STILL have groups of people that demand that we should learn THEIR language. There are groups of people who are generations removed of REAL oppression that even given todays “preferred status” still whine about
the oppression of long ago, they still find a way to sit on their dead A** and look for handouts, still expect todays American to feel sorry for them. They can graduate less that 50% of their kids from high school while we drop millions of more wasted dollars to get an improvement in that number. We can see the sorry state of their group where one cannot find an intact family, where no father is present, where young teenage girls think it’s “cool” to get pregnant and drop out of school and get welfare, just like mom did.

Well I’m SICK of it, I’m sick of the excuses by any group today whining for a handout, I’m also sick of morons who feel guilty for something that, they, their parents, their grandparents NEVER did to them. I’m SICK of being called a RACIST because I question the ideals of a man trying to become the president of this land.

Marke Bee keep drinking the kool-aid! You probably don’t even know what that is in reference to!
Get real! Only people making over $250, 000 will pay higher taxes! They couldn’t fund all of Obama’s
social programs if you taxed them 90%! Guess what, they will be taxed (small business owners) about 65% when you add in Federal, State, Local and lift the cap off Soc. Sec. taxes to add that $$$
to their tax bill! Why work? Why stay in business if all your profits will be taxed and distributed to
those who don’t work? Silly Marke Bee, read an economics book. Then after you do that, read a
history book, because there is no way Obama is getting us out of this war in Iraq in the next 4 years,
let alone his lying agenda to get the military out the first yr. he’s in office. Impossible, and
incrediably stupid of his childlike supporters to believe him.

Comment by Vonay

Just watch a news report about Obama’s friend, terrorist William Ayers.

Wow! The main stream media are going to look like stupid

idiots when America finally puts the Obama puzzle together and his campaign implodes;

Racist anti American Rev.Wright, Terrorist Anti American Willaim Ayers, Racist Anti American Louis Farrakhan, Black Panther Party, Michelle Obama who isn’t proud to be American and says
America is mean.

Even a 6 year old could figure out this puzzle.

I do not believe Rev. Wright is anti American. But black Americans can not complain, look at what Europeans did to the indigenous population of this continent, I have known a Menomonee and still love her.

Well he’s as popular as a rock star with the idiots so tis too bad he can’t sing like one LOL!

 
Comment by SlapStick, FLORIDA

All I can say is why. The majority of you need to ask God for forgiveness for your hatred towards other American citizens despite skin color. Obama proved a point that hatred is still alive and well. Hmmm talk about a waste of human being. Let he without sin cast the first stone. At this rate none of you should be throwing. Your parents should have taught you better.

You walk around with bitterness trapped inside. You must feel miserable all of the time.

Comment by Kenny

How nice to have a presedential candidate that will honor and sing to a colleague…even though it was impromptu and a bit off key, I must say I enjoyed it better than Hillary’s fairy tales of ducking sniper fire and emotional pregnant women dying without insurance…Obama will be a great president….and he WILL be president.

Obama = The great deceiver. A genuine wolf in sheep’s clothing.

Only those without the Holy Spirit living within them (non-Christians) are fooled by this man.

Obama’s women reveal his secret
By Spengler

“Cherchez la femme,” advised Alexander Dumas in: “When you want to uncover an unspecified secret, look for the woman.” In the case of Barack Obama, we have two: his late mother, the went-native anthropologist Ann Dunham, and his rancorous wife Michelle. Obama’s women reveal his secret: he hates America

-Hey Joe. That’s awful cowardly and childish of you to blame someone else (in this instance Hannity) for the decisions YOU make in life. It is YOU who have decided to fall into the trap of deception of Barrack Obama. It is YOU who makes the decision. Hannity is simply doing his job, reporting the thing about Obama that the rest of the main stream liberal media refuses to cover because Obama is their Savior.

You make your own decisions in life. You and only you. Not Hannity, or anyone else.
