This guy wants to be our President and control our government. Pay close attention to the last comment!! Below are a few lines from Obama’s books ” his words:

From Dreams of My Father: “I ceased to advertise my mother’s race at the age of 12 or 13, when I began to suspect that by doing so I was ingratiating myself to whites.”

From Dreams of My Father : “I found a solace in nursing a pervasive sense of grievance and animosity against my mothers race.”

From Dreams of My Father: “There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white.”

From Dreams of My Father: ; “It remained necessary to prove which side you were on, to show your loyalty to the black masses, to strike out and name names.”

From Dreams of My Father: “I never emulate white men and brown men whose fates didn’t speak to my own. It was into my father’s image, the black man, son of Africa , that I’d packed all the attributes I sought in myself, the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, DuBois and Mandela.”

From Audacity of Hope: “I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.”

Al Gore is a sick man.

impeach Al Gore

Obama could give a Sh*t less about all the people voting for him, he is on a mission and if people dont wise up he might get it too.

Silly Season..Mr Barack Heusin Obama…You sound like a kid in HS…I wonder what the people of Ill. think about your friends..Why didn’t you answered the hard questions by reporters so America could judge you ability to be informed on what was going on in your own District.

To the TWW who are qouting OBAMA’s books out of context. You should read the entire books first. And I challenge you to not to come away inspired that they both are examples of an Honest American who embodies a realization of the American Dream. The first book itself qualifies as true American Classic. It will be read for generations to come. That being said, what is wrong with a little honesty about our true feelings at critical points in our lives, especially when they are contrasted with later points in our lives when we discovered just how misguided and misaligned those earlier feelings were. Are you reading the book or just searching for out of context quotes?

_______________________________________________________

You are right on! Obama’s comments remind me of the comments I would hear back in 3rd, 4th or 5th grade when a candidate for student council would promise us….”Pepsi in every drinking fountain……new sand in the sand boxes and………longer recesses at lunch time”….

American Women,

Obama can’t seem to get it right when it comes to a lot of people. When he uses words like “silly season” he is a high schooler. When he uses “big” words than he is arrogant. Don’t forget the man has gone way past high school, he graduated for one of the best schools in the country and don’t forget it! What is your education level? Right!

political silly-season

annie okley

six shooter

You smile like you think this Shiiiit is funny, it isn’t, your an idiot, this isn’t a game.

You say “entire life” so I guess you wernt hanging out with people like rezco and wright, you were too busy spending your “entire life” working with others trying to make there lives better.

You should wipe your face, as there is still alot of BS on your lips.

GOOD ONE JD.

CLINTON CAMPAIGN DO SOME RESEARCH INTO THIS ALLIGATION AGAINST OBAMA REGARDING HIS INABILITY TO MAKE A DECISION REGARDING A NUCLEAR THREAT.

THEY ARE TRYING TO HIDE THIS STORY UNDER THE DUMB “HE SAID BOY” THING..

Kentucky Rep. Geoff Davis said that he had recently participated in a “highly classified, national

security simulation” with the Illinois senator Obama. “I’m going to tell you something: That boy’s

finger does not need to be on the button,” said Davis. “He could not make a decision in that

simulation that related to a nuclear threat to this country.”

Hillary r. Clinton campaign where is your research committee, lets find out if Obama did

participate in a highly classified national security simulation and failed miserable according to

Geoff Davis .

Never mind that he referred to him as boy, his expression only reflected on his youth and

inexperience, in other words he is just a boy…

I was wondering when race was going to be brought up in this whole controversy. Anyone saying anything against Obama eventually is painted as a racist. How could he effectively be president and unite the nation?

Obama, like all other politicians will say or do almost anything to get your vote.The difference is this man seems to surround himself with people who hate America.If you listen to him you will also find he’s not fond of white people. I think he is evil.

GO HILLARY !!!
I was silly in the 3rd grade - we are now electing the President of the United States!!!
Obama made the comments - and now is trying to “spin” it to look like it is Hillary/media - just like he did with the race speech - only this time we will not say - its OK . Stop trying to ram your opinions on others. Let the voters decide who is the best candidate - and stop trying to block the votes from FL & MI!

I think Barack Obama needs to come out with a commercial with the voters who support their president telling the truth on issues and not misspoke or straight tell a lie to the American people. But the fuss over a few truthful words that could be interpreted a number of ways has been the number one news events for a week. While the out-right lie Hillary Clinton told barely made front page news at all. Now who is getting the short end of the media stick?

THE BIGGEST RACIST IN AMERICA ARE THE AFRICAN-AMERICANS
AND THEY HAVE PROVED IT BY OVERWHELMING VOTED FOR BLACK OBAMA
WHAT DO YOU CALL THAT

OBAMA’S BLACK CHURCH PREACHES BLACK THEOLOGY WHICH IS ANTI-WHITE
THEY HAVE MADE THIS PRIMARY A RACE ISSUE.

THEN THEIR IS THE ISSUE OF OBAMA COMPETENCY

Obama recently made a remark in defense of his bitter comments that said “the Primary EXERCISE” and went onto defend his position.

The key word that caught my attention was EXERCISE.

Just like his use of SILLY in this article.

Come on Obama-maniacs, this guy is Harvard educated and he still thinks he is in school.

There is a term that is somewhat offensive but is applicable to Obama….”If you can’t DO, TEACH”.

Obama is living in the land of THEORY! Everything he says is THEORETICAL and not based upon EXPERIENCE.

Do you really want to elect a TEACHER as President of the United States??????

Same old people - same old crap!

Belle

Anyone saying anything against Obama eventually is painted as a racist.

_____________

That’s his biggest Ace in hole…You’re right…Rally the base…CLING to that ole Race card…

wow you people are amazing. How ELITIST of you. “Silly season” is a direct quote from a mid-state, PA blue collar voter saying she was tired of hearing about this and wanted to, instead, have them focus on real issues. Obama could say the sky was blue and you would filter it as racism to nature.

I just love Obama’s comments such as this last one: “when you’re on food stamps for awhile when you were growing up. You went to school on scholarship,” he said.”

He left out that the scholarship wasn’t because he had a 4.2 GPA in AP classes. He got a scholarship to Harvard because of University quotas and he happened to be half black…..enough to quality him for minority entry into the University, not by his merits, but by the color of his skin diametrically opposed to MLK’s speech.

Obama will not leave us unchanged.

I think Barack Obama needs to come out with a commercial with the voters who support their president telling the truth on issues and have not misspoke or straight tell a lie to the American people. But the fuss over a few truthful words that could be interpreted a number of ways has been the number one news events for a week. While the out-right lie Hillary Clinton told about her trip to Bosnia barely made front page news at all. Now who is getting the short end of the media stick?

To “typical white women”:

You’ve selected short quotes from a long book to prejudice those who haven’t read it.

I thought Dreams of My Father was a remarkably thoughtful book, written 13 years ago by a young Barack Obama, just out of law school and not yet in politics or public office.

I was impressed by his intelligence and honesty as he discussed his maturation from child to man. I was surprised to see how consistent Obama has been, as young man and candidate, in his understanding and empathy for people from many backgrounds.

That’s a good foundation for a public servant.

I WANT TO FIX HILLARY CLINTON FOR STAYING WITH BILL WHEN SHE SHOULD HAVE DIVORCED HIM OVER:
1. HIS ANTIMASTURBATION
2. HIS CHEATING ADULTERY
ALSO IM AGAINST HER NOT LISTENING TO ME ABOUT VOTING AGAINST THE ANTI POKER BILL (PHONE CALLS, LETTERS) AND RECEIVING FUNDING FROM HEALTH INSURANCE COMPANIES WHEN THEY ARE ALREADY OVERCHARGING AND AGE DISCRIMINATING. I ALSO BELIEVE LIKE JOE LIEBERMAN THAT BILL CLINTON SHOULD HAVE BEEN IMPEACHED AFTER ILLEGALLY CHEATING ON HIS WIFE.

Make Iran Glow

I hope thats not true for his sake, as I thought you have to acually be african/american to qualify for that. which he is not, 6% African/American does not qualify.

Obama was sorting out who he was - Black or White. Unless we are half black and half white, we don’t know what it is like to have to figure out who we really are. He said he was picked on in school. He knows ridicule. He said he saw things in his mother (white) that he didn’t agree with. The article I read recently said that his mother was intelligent, but selfish and didn’t have time for him. We don’t know much about his father other than where he lived, and that he was Muslim. According to Obama’s comments at the COMPASSION Forum on Faith and Politics, Obama said that he has seen kind, loving Muslim people who are trying to raise their families just as we work hard to raise ours. I think his broad racial background will make it easier for him to dialogue with other nations if he becomes president. That is something we really need to keep in mind if we want to earn our reputation back as a leader among nations. He explained that he is a devout Christian and believes that his faith has been a sustaining force in his life.

I don’t plan to vote for him, but I do feel he is more presidential than the Clintons for this particular time in history as the Clintons would have us repeat the ’90’s. To me that is going backwards. Sen Clinton has some good ideas (actually both candidate’s policies are similar) but she would implement them using the same people who part of her husband’s presidency - so I don’t see things moving forward.

He’s absolutely right, Obama’s candidacy has been the silliest thing this political season.

ILLEGALLY CHEATING ?

whow unlike legally cheating I suppose.

It`s 8:00am in New York City. People are rushing around, moving through the city, on thir normal commute. Ten car bombs, all in cars parked streetside in the financial dristrict, go off at the same time. The blast itself, kills some 240 people. Glass and other flying objects, injure another three hundred. Rescue workers can`t even get to the scene, because the whole area is in such chaos. Meanwhile a report comes from Lambert Airport in St. Louis, that twelve flights have been reported as highjacked. All of the flights have split away from their original course. No one can say were they are headed. We have President Obama heading to his safe house along with top aides, and other personel. He gave a short statement before leaving the WHite House saying, “well it`s just the silly season with these terrorist you know what I mean?”

jd-

“I hope thats not true for his sake, as I thought you have to acually be african/american to qualify for that. which he is not, 6% African/American does not qualify.”
_______________________________________________________

Yours was a funny comment. I like it. I didn’t know Obama was only 6% black, but I know that Tiger Woods is less than 25% black and mostly of Asian decent making Tiger Woods the greatest Asian golfer of all times….so I don’t know why Reverand Wright uses Tiger Woods in his speeches when he slanders the Master Golf Tournament Committee saying its against blacks when Tiger isn’t black overall?

Hmmm…it seems odd that the very first person he called on to ask a question just happened to bring up the race issue. (Rolls eyes)

Hi Patricia,

RC MO,

You’re funny………….lol

Are the people defending him for real? I can not stand the sight of his arrogant smirk. He is definitely a b.s. artist. I am miffed. Not at all in awe of his “speeches” I just don’t get it.

We will see how his strategy changes when he loses Penn. by close to 1/2 million votes

Strongest Kool-Aide ever made.

I wish I could trust Obama, but I can’t. When he first started running for the nomination I listened

to him very carefully and tried to understand what he stood for.

I researched him and found things I didn’t understand. I think the media has wronged the American

people by not questioning him as they would have any other candidate. I believe they are afraid

of being labled as racist.

Well from what I have seen and heard from Obama, he has now proven to be the racist.

You hope the a__hole has done himself in and here come the polls(I know)! It is like no matter what he says to these idots they just grin and say you are the best negro in the world

Do you notice how much of the black race votes for a black candidate, experienced or not.

O. J. could be running and getting 90% of the black vote.

Black Whosane(?) Obombyomama…….larry sinclair is on the phone asking is that a banana in your pants or are you just happy to hear from him?

jd i say 6 days

I am going with 4 . The old rev. will cause him to say something stupid again. Racist sob uses a funeral to showboat his a_s. Hoping something comes to roost on you racist

those are the wrong words i meant to say HE IS A JOKE!

Some cheese melts good, and some just gets stringy, and greasy. I guess the press and the upper crust pushing this election, think Obama is the perfect ingredient, to make the melting pot nice, and smooth like Velveeta. Sometimes things just don`t mix well, no matter how much you stir it.

………………………………………..

Rev Wright has got an NAACP conference coming up. Ah Reverend Wright..the bigot that keeps on giving.

are you saying obama is a big pile of crap going into the mixing bowl(LOL)

Why do Americans insist on getting idiots (e.g BUSH) into the white house, surely by choosing a representational democracy you want better people than yourself in power!

As for his comments, Obama was only pointing out that jobs matter more to people than guns & religion, guns wont feed your children or in the case of idiots that want to “make Iran glow” (seriously I mean does your tiny brain cell even understand that the world hates America because of idiots like you) pay for your FAUX “news” subscription.

Hell your opinion doesn’t even matter your clearly all from red states, America would be much better off if it just divided and left you guys in the 80s, were going into nam and building bigger nukes solved everything. I mean who needs jobs, when you could just use all the government money to go invade small countries!

m-antony, I say he is saying something stupid rightthis second.

you guys are abunch of racist……barack is one of america’s greatest patriots….just listen to his speaches……he wants to unite america, you are tearing america apart

JD I say 5.

i say obombyomama screws up in 2 days

You guys make some good points up about what the Clinton team should do why don’t you go to website http://www.hillaryclinton.com and leave tips there.

What I was thinking about today was maybe there is a different reason why Obama can not throw Rev. Wright under the bus like he did his grandma. Maybe Rev. Wright knows too much. He might have dirt on Obama. Who know’s. Only they know.

Angry White Person, I`m just saying that a token is not going to turn over a hundred million people into clones of each other. Super libs just think Obama in the white house is the modern, fashionable thing to do.

————————————————————————————————————–

I disagree. I don’t think his up-bringing makes him any more qualified than anyone else. There are many many people with the same backgound, it doesn’t mean they are able to lead a country.

And as far as earning “our reputation back as a leader among nations”. Other countries do follow us. Oh sure, they criticize and complain, but when they want something they turn to us. How many countries rely on our aid? Just as people can’t go through life constantly worrying about what everyone thinks of them, a strong nation must simply do what it believes is best. It’s not a popularty contest. And the leader of the country must do what is best for his or her country, even if it sometimes means going against other people or their wishes.

As for undesrtanding others, that works both ways We constantly reach out to others, but how often are we slapped back? It is to our credit that we do continue to help others and to try to find a common ground, at the same time we are reviled and criticized. We don’t do what we do because we want to be a leader or loved. We do it because it’s what we believe is right.

Some quotes from PA voters (whose opinion matters more than the already-decideds on this board right now):

“It’s so difficult to watch every word,” said Mary Ellen Matunis, a Clinton backer from Shenandoah.
“I was not offended,” she said. “Poor choice of words, but I think it was just misspoken.”

“We’re getting in the silly season,” said Richardson, 33, a computer analyst. “It’s being overanalyzed.”

In Pottsville, a city south of Shenandoah that also thrived during the coal boom and is now known as the home of Yuengling beer, coffeehouse owner Mary Ann Price, 56, said she is undecided about which candidate will get her vote in the primary, but that Obama’s remarks won’t affect her decision. She said she is more concerned about U.S. standing in the international community.

—–

Barack is just repeating what Democrat PA voters already mentioned - that is, let’s move beyond this BS. You want an elistist? Look up some quotes from John Adams. Now there was an awful president.

A PA voter mentions silly season yesterday and it’s fine. Meanwhile, Obama could say “the sky is blue” and you’d twist it into his racism against nature. You’ve already made up your mind - go ahead, keep talking in the echo chamber as the world moves on…

How did we let this country get like this? We have the naacp? What about the advancement for white people.? That would be unacceptable. We just keep on giving , and giving. We are all branded racists if we speak our minds. It is ok for the black panthers? This is bullsh_t!My race has paid enough for all this self appointed point man of the black community.

THE OBAMA CAMPAIGN STRATEGY

CHANGE YOURSELVES YOU LAZY FOLKS
THAT ARE SUPPORTERS OF OBAMA

yeah steph you bet they both have dirt on each other…..da rev with the books that are clouded in obscurity form the irs….lots of private expenditures….and what about this choirboy that was killed mysteriously, what’s up with that……..what about the women at the church, i bet several would have stories of a sexually bold wright seducing or attacking them…..the guy is not a preacher but a criminal- a crook, that has helped propell puppy dog face onto the national scene (no thanks from the help of kerry and edwards)

To M-ANTONY….You can put the ACLU into that bunch also.

Keep on drinking that Obama Koolaid everybody and see where this man gets you. You thought George Bush was bad with hard times; just wait until OB gets into office, there will not be a country called USA left. Teflon Obama is not the man you think he is, he has many, many flaws, severe flaws that is hasn’t let out of the bag yet. Slowly but surely everyone will see the real Obama with the slip of the tongue he has a habit of doing; and he is not for the American people either. He is without a doubt the most arrogant, unpatriotic person I have ever seen. He thinks he knows it all and this kind of person is very dangerous for himself and all who associate with him. His associations with all these corrupt people help to form your beliefs and attitudes about different things. You do not associate with such people if you don’t have like beliefs, that includes his minister too. With Obama he will do and say what he has to obtain the power and the position he so greatly craves for himself. His money and power as a senator running for president has already gone to his head.
He talks about Hillary being born rich which she was not. He got scholarships to school, mainly because of his race being a minority. Hillary had to work and get loans to get her education because she was white. American people had better think before they vote whether they want a rookie and someone with experience that truly cares about helping our country improve who does it with heart. She has the knowledge to create solutions and implement them. This election our country has too much at stake with the economy, two wars, health care crisis, government deficit with borrowing money from China and Mexico,etc. to make the wrong choice.

I just thank God watermelon is easy to eat with dentures.

Obama recently knocked back the Colombian trade agreement citing he has issues with the way unions are treated in that country. I don’t want a president making trade decisions on other peoples’ unions and whether he feels they’re treated nicely. I can’t understand why his opponents didn’t jump on that. Obama’s a death sentence to the economy.

Columbia is improving but this is more of kicking our biggest ally in South America for Chavez’s benefit, no wonder Chavez wants Obama as President, so he can bully his neighbors and instigate overthrows of governments.

Obama is rude and arrogant..his little Annie Oakly six shooter comment lets me know that his respect forwomen is ZERO…also when all 3 candidates were asked about the Carter issue McCain and Hillary both took a stance..but not Obama he just hovered and voted present…this effects national security he should be able to take a stance on a simple question..this man is not ready to be President and his hope speech is getting old it is always the same..

Well get used to good ideas around here as any and all good ideas come from the convervatives as no liberal thought, philosophy, writer, politician….etc…etc.. has ever offered society anything good and productive. Any and all good ideas and thoughts come from conservatives and not liberals. Its the liberals who try to borrow, beg and steal and suck from us what is good, honorable, and worth while in the World. The only thing liberals have offered up to the World is communism and 200 deaths which followed, hunger and starvation from their policies, teen pregnancy, divorce, broken families, poverty, hopelessness, and misery. I have a feeling that I left a few things out.
