Speaking as a republican, I must say Senator Obama, you may never fill senator Kennedy’s shoes.

One Ted Kennedy is enough. I’m glad Senator Obama is more of a Jimmy Carter type of guy. By the way, what will the topic of the Obama/Kennedy speech be? Perhaps it will be on the ethics of partial birth abortion, negotiating with our enemies without “pre-conditions,” or how much fun it is to raise taxes on the rich. Regardless of what Obama says, liberal college students will love it! Hope and change, hope and change.

McCain 2008!

here comes the oldsmobile, oops there goes the oldsmobile right in the drink.
darn how things happen

Great for Obama!! The Kennedys have been a significant force in shaping our country. To have Sen. Kennedy even ask that Sen. Obama speak at the commencement in his place is an honor bestowed. Our prayers are with you Sen Kennedy, our prayers are with you!!!

OBAMA 08

I this the same disenfrancisement Hillary agreed to back when she was the inevitable nominee? Just curious.

FROM MSNBC: Posted: Thursday, May 22, 2008 3:47 PM by Mark Murray
Filed Under: 2008, Obama

From NBC’s Mark Murray:

Obama will fill in for Ted Kennedy in giving Sunday’s commencement address at Wesleyan University, his campaign says,

“Ted and I talked about me filling in for him at Wesleyan University earlier this week,” Obama said in a statement. “Considering what he’s done for me and for our country, there’s nothing I wouldn’t do for him. So I’m looking forward to standing in his place on Sunday even though I know I won’t be able to fill his shoes.”

Obama is being humble and is grateful for all that Ted Kennedy has done for him. I know he considers it a great honor to speak for Kennedy. You can’t fault Obama for being grateful!

“The Kennedys have been a significant force in shaping our country.”

True, but how much of the shaping they have done caused the very problems they and their friends whine about today? Probably a lot more than you think.

How appropriate for Obama to take Teds place. They’re both people we’d of been better off never knowing as a country.

Forgive me, but I am one of those shoppers who like to read labels to check
on the contents of a given product before making my purchase. Most Obama
adherents seem to want to use the express checkout line. To paraphrase a
question first asked by the late Mayor Richard J. Daley, I would want the activist
and community organizer to respond to this query, “What trees have you planted?
” For all of Obama’s inflated claims as to his “twenty years” of community
service, Englewood looks just as blighted today as when this latter day
disciple of Saul Alinsky began organizing the community. I cannot point to a
single accomplishment that Obama can claim credit for as a legislator in
Springfield or in Washington other than fattening his own bank account.

Some reader comments have contained complaints that I am opposed to Obama’s
candidacy. To this charge, I will plead guilty, but there is a definite basis
to my bias. I am one of his constituents and I sometimes feel decidedly
unrepresented in Washington. Isn’t Illinois entitled to the full-time services of
two US Senators?

when filling in for ted-one must first take a deep breath!

THE OLD SPIN:

In a Democratic presidential debate last summer, Obama was asked if he’d meet the leaders of Iran, Syria, Venezuela, Cuba, and North Korea without precondition and during his first year in office.

“I would,” Obama said.

THE NEW SPIN:

Obama objected on CNN this week to “this obsession with Ahmadinejad” and explained guardedly: “I would be willing to meet with Iranian leaders if we had done sufficient preparations for that meeting.

“Whether Ahmadinejad is the right person to meet with right now, we don’t even know how much power he is going to have a year from now,” Obama added. “He is not the most powerful person in Iran.”

He said he would expect “to meet with those people who can actually make decisions” in Iran on its nuclear program, its aid to terrorists and destabilization in Iraq.

He did not explain how he would get around Iran’s president to other people of influence.

Similarly, prominent Obama supporters have jumped into the debate to say he has believed all along that one does not go blindly into negotiations with dictators.

Obama will help Ted out untill he no longer needs him.

Obama is here in Florida trying to convince the Jewish people to vote for him. Obama only spent 20 years in that hatefilled church listening to anti-Israel speeches and never saying a word. I know the Jewish people are smarter than to vote for Obama.

Mr Obama is a motivator. i really sense a commitment from him, call me a fool but there is a sense that shows calm and collectiveness. people can identify with this man.he reminds one of a
person like a grandfather who works hard for the things he belive in. to pass on lessons learned, to make it better for the next generation.

He has my attention .he reminds me of my dad that passed away a while back.

Obama Seen As Soft On Terrorism, Racially Divisive
Thu, 05/22/2008 - 13:22 — Judicial Watch Blog
As he tours a crucial swing state lost by Democrats in the last two presidential elections, Barack Obama will get hit by the surprising betrayal of a key and politically powerful group that considers him soft on terrorism, weak on Israel and racially divisive.

A huge chunk of Florida’s Jewish voters, key to an Obama general election victory, claim they won’t support the Illinois Senator against Republican John McCain or any other candidate for that matter. Obama is touring the state, which he lost to Hillary Clinton in the Democratic primary, this week and appearing at a synagogue in the hugely Jewish south Florida city of Boca Raton.

But members of the Sunshine State’s important constituency are turned off by Obama and would rather betray their party than support him. They say his foreign policy positions—soft on Iran and not supportive of Israel—and his controversial, racist pastor have turned them off.

Obama believes Iran does not represent a threat to the U.S. and he has publicly expressed his willingness to negotiate with its president, Mahmoud Ahmadinejad, who has repeatedly insulted Jews by describing the Holocaust as a “myth.”

Democrat Bigwigs Reject Obama’s Foreign Policy

When the Democrat foreign policy establishment thinks Obama is a fool for wanting to meet unconditionally with America’s enemies, the American people can’t be far behind.

The latest critic is Bill Richardson, who has played in the Foreign Policy Big Leagues.

The money quote:
***
Well, you know throughout my career, I’ve talked to a lot of bad guys. You know, I have talked to Castro. I think you don’t talk to Ahmadinejad. You talk to some of the moderate clerics.
******
Senator Joe Biden (D-DE), the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and former Congressman Harold Ford (D-TN), the head of the Democratic Leadership Committee, have rejected Barack Obama’s plan of unconditional meetings with enemies of the United States:

http://www.patriotroom.com/?p=370

It was unmistakable.

It’s been bubbling for months.

It’s reached the start of a crescendo recently.

Now the first female vice presidential candidate in U.S. history, Geraldine Ferraro, just hinted that she may not vote for Obama if he’s the nominee. It’s quite a signal to send.

… .. Some even accuse Mr. Obama of chauvinism, pointing to the time he called Mrs. Clinton “likeable enough” as evidence of dismissiveness. Nancy Wait, 55, a social worker in Columbia City, Ind., said Mr. Obama was far less qualified than Mrs. Clinton and described as condescending his recent assurances that Mrs. Clinton should stay in the race as long as she liked. Ms. Wait said she would “absolutely, positively not” vote for him come fall.

Ms. Ferraro, who clashed with the Obama campaign about whether she made a racially offensive remark, said she might not either. “I think Obama was terribly sexist,” she said.

Cynthia Ruccia, 55, a sales director for Mary Kay cosmetics in Columbus, Ohio, is organizing a group, Clinton Supporters Count Too, of mostly women in swing states who plan to campaign against Mr. Obama in November. …

Kennedy has passed the torch to Obama, Obama is a great guy, he will be our next pres, whether Fox like it or not.

Say what you will, but Senator Obama is one classy guy. Taking time away from a tortuously long campaign (and into another that looks to be every bit as nasty as ever) to fill in for a sick colleague - that’s admirable. Which is a lot more than I can say for commenters on this board who take any opportunity to puke their stewing vitriol.

Do not be fooled by calm and collectiveness. It might just be lazy and inexperience.

Obama has to do whatever it takes to get elected.

Cokie Roberts Sees the Light!
Posted on May 17, 2008 by garychapelhill
Let me begin by saying that I am not a fan of Cokie Roberts. She is a glaring example of our elitist media that likes to tell the masses what they are and are not thinking. That said, I could not help but think that she has Democrats’ number with this column in the Jewish World Review.

The Republicans are licking their chops. They are just waiting for Obama to officially become the Democratic nominee because they know that there is no way in Hell that he can win. And who do we have to blame? It certainly isn’t the voters. We have made it very clear that our choice as nominee is Hillary (just look at the popular vote). No, it is the Democratic leadership, losers every last single one of them (and I mean that literally, not figuratively), that are to blame, as Roberts points out:

Democrats seem intent on nominating Barack Obama, in the face of mounting evidence that Hillary Clinton would be the stronger candidate against John McCain in November. And they only have themselves to blame.
http://www.riverdaughter.wordpress.com/2008/05/17/cokie-roberts-sees-the-light/

Two birds of a feather. Who is more liberal? Do not know anything about Wesleyan. Other than Belicheck. If they invite Kennedy, well that says something.

Good for him! Let’s be adults here. Quit the negative remarks. They only make you look small minded.

“FU**C**K YOU ALL —-SHAME ON ANYONE AND EVERYONE WHO THINKS OF A WOMAN ANY LESSER THAN A MAN”

I think we all agree to that statement.

Reality Check: Hillary is less qualified than Obama based on years and types of experience, has a history full of scandals, her husband’s presidency was a disgrace to the nation, she lies about really stupid things, is really liberal, and is one of the most calculating, ruthless people I can think of.

She is losing because Americans don’t like her and her campaign has been mismanaged from the start. She is not losing because of sexism, she is losing because she is getting beat in every way by someone more calculating and evil than herself.

Enough with the pity parties. Let’s focus on the issues because those are what will get McCain elected. Identity politics are all the Democrats have to go on this year and it won’t be enough when people have to decide which person they want steering our country.

Let the word go forth, to a new generation, that a vote for Obama is a vote for our enemies.

“Say what you will, but Senator Obama is one classy guy. Taking time away from a tortuously long campaign (and into another that looks to be every bit as nasty as ever) to fill in for a sick colleague - that’s admirable.”

Oh, please. He gets a podium to speak from, free press and endears himself to Democrats by taking the speaking assignment. This move is all for his gain. He would throw Kennedy and the university under the bus if it would help him get elected.

“Which is a lot more than I can say for commenters on this board who take any opportunity to puke their stewing vitriol.”

Really? You don’t think I would speak at a university graduation if invited? Oh, I would and guess what, I wouldn’t even bring up politics! Not once. Seriously. Graduations aren’t about politics, they are about a coming of age, a new beginning. Obama is a great public speaker, no one will dispute that, but I highly doubt that he will keep his political and social positions out of the speech. This will be another venue to drive his message into the collective mind of the Obamabots.

FLORIDA AND MICHIGAN AND OBAMA’S CORRUPT CAMPAIGN

Nothing is more detrimental to the country as a whole than political corruption in any guise. So the statement issued by Barack Obama the other day regarding Florida and Michigan should be seen for what it is: a politician willing to engage in whatever undermining of the democratic process it takes to achieve his political ambition.

In his statement, Obama said that he would support a solution regarding the seating of the Florida and Michigan delegates “as long as it was fair to both sides”. This is Obama intentionally ignoring the fact that the elections and the results they produced were already fair to both sides
http://www.tominpaine.blogspot.com/2008/05/florida-and-michigan-and-obamas-corrupt.html

Look the facts are Obama voted no on some bills then added por on others to fund the bills he bothered to vote against. So he says no then funds it. Not only that but every tax payer out there is contributing to Hillary and Obamas’ campain with ever pork they add on. The only person who you have not funded unless you wanted to nor have you paid for votes is McCain. I just went on the pork site and more has been added on. So we spent over $33 billion for each moth this year so far in pork and some of it is interesting. Salaries for people with jobs in diffrent congresional states. We are paying for their people to work. Go look it up on Citizens Against Government Waste. It list every memeber of the senate and representitive there is and how much they used and what it is for. Then go look up what pork barrels diffinition is. You are paying for votes and campain contributions for every Man and Woman on the list with out one asking you for it.

By the way that is about $33 billion a month so far. We are almost to the half way mark of the year so if it continues it will be $66 billion a month. That is $792 billion in pork and you wonder why our great nation is in debt.

We have to stop the pork or earmarks or what ever they want to call them. We are paying taxes for these people to get funding and votes. I think that stinks.

wow, a snob fitting in with a bunch of snobs…..just great!

Is it true Obama wants his own people on the DNC? Does any one know?

In response to Amber, obviously you haven’t been on msn’s blogs. They are vicious and unrelenting against anyone who isn’t their “saviour” Obama. Msn rarely even posts my comments, so go there, you will be among friends, we don’t need you here!

Would that make it the ONC?

I thought this topic was Obama the Traitor standing in for Orca the great drunk whale.

I don’t think so KC but I will find out.

In L.A. waiting for my flight to Vancouver

I am serious about the DNC. I want to know if this is true.

Wow, McCain now rejects Hagee’s endorsement. About time. People still would like to know why did he wait so long.

Barack Obama will never will be a Kennedy..this just goes to show how far Kennedy will go to shove this Left Anti-American Liberal down our throats… I heard pundits talking about Kennedy’s illness gaining some sympathy support for Nobama well this is what they are trying to do. Mr.Ted Kennedy is going to use his illness to promote Nobama, that’s what it seems like to me anyway…we will see.

I agree with another poster…Nobama is more like Carter…and nothing like President Kennedy..

Neither was TED

Carter is the one that raised the rate on credit cards to 20% and made them the mess they are today.

I can’t find anything on that KC. I’m going to have to say it’s a no.

And Bill Clinton raised the gas tax to 18%.

Interesting how the responses bashing Obama contain so many misspelled words and incorrect grammar. I guess it really proves Hillary and McCain’s base are the uneducated poor racists. Yeah, let’s let them decide who the next president will be.

Strange though that the Kennedys did have some things in common. Jack got his PT boat sunk, Teddy made his Oldsmobile into a submarine, and JFK jr sunk a piper cub. Those Kennedy should stay away from water.

And Obama want to raise it another 50 cents with it now being predicted to go up to $12 to $14 a gal.

Tim,

I thought Obamas strongest support was among black Americans. So if we write in EBONICS is it OK?

Ok KC, where did you get that info from.

Some of you people that support Hillary are scary. After reading your blogs it is apparent what kind of following she has. Quite fitting.

How can obama time to do else, his time has to be us looking for those 57 states, he has no time to lose he has to look for those 57 states. Dora the exploradora is ready to help him, will someone please tell him that dora the exploradora is going to help him fine those 57 states as long as he make,s her the vise president! Now that is what I call real help. Vote Hillary or McCain but no obama he has to look for those 57 states and no time to lose, go obama look for those and good luck finding them, there no hope for him

Excuse me but i have a black grandson, a black Auntie, black cousins and mexican neiphews and indean Aunts and Uncles and cousins, I will never vote for Obama and I guess you can’t say my family is racist. We love them all.By the way i am mixed with alot of races yet I do not call myself anything but American.

It is funny how Hillary is showing her true colors and she said that Obama can’t win the swing states because white people are not ready for a black President (race card) and yet, one of the swing states shows Obama can beat McCain in.

Obama was just mentioning the number of states in ebonics geography. You should cut him a break.

Pat, it is funny how the news said that if Hillary don’t win, she will have to face that civil case that she is really trying to avoid. Keep thinking that Hillary is for you. Hillary is trying not to go to jail.

In the face of mounting controversy over headline-grabbing statements from the Rev. John Hagee, C## has learned that presumptive Republican nominee John McCain decided Thursday to reject his endorsement.
GOOD OLE REV WAS THE ONE WHO GAVE HIM THE BLESSING TO RUN.

HE DOESNT DESERVE AN HONEST AMERICAN VOTE.

Carter is the one that raised the rate on credit cards to 20% and made them the mess they are today.

************

I don’t know about that..I was young and didn’t have any credit cards…but I do remember the long lines for gas…and I remember the when the same terrorists that are in the Iranian Leadership today…held our American citizens hostage and paraded them on the news every night for over a year…Those were not good times in America…and he was elected because he was new and no one really knew who he was..and he made people feel good…I’d rather have someone who I can’t stand as long as they take care of America…and put America and her citizens’s Security First.

Yes we are we do something the Obama followers do not, we research. We see what he truely is. We do not let anyone tell us what to think. His changes are a joke, his voting history tells it all 107 present and votes no on a bill then sneaks pork in to fund it. Go look it up!! That is when he bothers to vote.

Obama the Prima Donna
“Lay off my wife”. This is the reaction of Barack Obama to criticism of his wife and campaign surrogate, Michelle. Obama the sensitive would like people to listen to his wife during campaign events and her stump speeches, but he is vehemently opposed to any criticism of her from the Republicans. Never mind the fact that Obama has been at times a very outspoken critic of rival Hillary Clinton’s husband Bill, especially after the South Carolina primary. The media – pampered and arrogant candidate believes that criticism of his wife is off limits, and that’s his rule.

http://www.politicallizard.blogspot.com/2008/05/obama-prima-donna.html

“Interesting how the responses bashing Obama contain so many misspelled words and incorrect grammar. I guess it really proves Hillary and McCain’s base are the uneducated poor racists.”

Go to the Daily Kos website and read the posts there. The spelling and grammar is even worse AND the posters are almost exclusively Obama supporters.

Also, I have Master’s degree from a top university.

Just because someone doesn’t vote for Obama it doesn’t mean that they are a racist, it’s more likely that they understand how ridiculous his policies and social positions are. He is wrong on every issue from taxing the economy back to full strength to running away from Iraq as a means of ending the war on terror. His reality is so out of touch with the way the world really is, it makes me wonder if he really believes all the junk he says or if he is just trying to see how dumb Americans are.

KC you’re excused, but only for entirely missing the point of my statement.

Antoin “Tony” Rezko is a well-regarded, politically connected housing developer, Barack Obama an up-and-coming community organizer. After Obama is named president of the Harvard Law Review, Rezko offers Obama a job building inner-city homes with his Rezmar Corp. Obama declines, but a friendship and political alliance begins. The Obamas and Rezkos dined occasionally and the Obamas once spent a day at the Rezkos’ Lake Geneva retreat.

http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/chi-obamarezko-connect.swf,0,4929416.flash

Because the news is on McCain over Rev. Hagee, he now rejects his endorsement. Then the fake had to throw in Rev. Wright to get the heat off of his back.

They say with age you gain wisdom, so look who is getting behind Obama then comes on blogs and talks like they are so wize. How much actual research have they done?

Florida Delegates Suing the DNC
By hrebendorf - May 22, 2008, 1:11PM
Three Florida delegates, including the state’s Senate Democratic leader have filed a federal lawsuit against the Democratic National Committee claiming the DNC violated their constitutional rights by barring them from the party’s national convention.

http://www.tpmcafe.talkingpointsmemo.com/talk/2008/05/florida-delegates-suing-the-dn.php

McCain will spend billions to Isreal and won’t spend 10 cents in America listening to Lieberman, the biggest joke in America.

I can’t believe that they are even going to sue after they were warned if they move there dates up, they will be blocked and they did it anyway.

Michelle Obama: First Lady or First Whiner?
» by Bill Dupray in: Barack Obama, Culture, Democrats, Election, Liberals, Michelle Obama, Oddities
Michelle is not the kind of person most people like to be around. She is constantly whining about how hard everything is, with her Princeton and Harvard educations and all. It really must be a pressure cooker at the Obama house at the end of the month figuring out where the mortgage money is going to come from. Especially with such meager incomes.

Senator Barack Obama released his 2007 tax return on Wednesday evening, reporting a household income of $4.2 million due to a sharp increase in the sales of his books during the first year of his presidential campaign.

In 2006 it was even rougher, with creditors banging at the door and debtor’s prison looming.

That was a substantial jump from the roughly $1 million in income the Obamas reported in 2006, much of that also from book deals.
