“wrote NYT”, end of story.

Brownlee is making me dizzy too. If you buy this latest story I have some beachfront property in Arizona…

Obama trauma is the latest rage. Of course, in a video 4 years ago, Obama stated he had no experience to run for President.

His mentor/hero ‘duh Reverend Wright’ inspired his book is a racist who preaches that God should Damn America and he will not renounce him or quit this racist church.

He is embroiled with a slumlord now on trial for fraud and conspiracy in federal court in Chicago.

He hangs with ex-terrorists.

Yeah, that certainly is

CHANGE…

Maybe he’s just gonna rely on hope and inspiration to make the spector of wright go away?

Bring our troops home. Offer all Americans affordable health care. Get rid of leaving all school children behind. Look at every signing statement and reverse the powers bushco have stolen. Give back to the people their constitutional protections. Make our government once more a transparent tool of WE THE PEOPLE. Check out his website for more. Wouldn’t take much to improve on what we’ve got. Luckily the Democratic Party offers two choices that are much better and will make America the country it was before bushco.

Offer all Americans affordable health care

How?
Where will the money come from?

Get rid of leaving all school children behind

And the DOE?

Make our government once more a transparent tool of WE THE PEOPLE

Pretty general. How is this to be accomplished? Exactly what will be transparent? What levels of government are we talking about?

I can promise you the moon too Linda. It is the delivery and the plan that count.

Obama’s race and religion is all an intentional distraction to avoid discussions on his lack of experience and his positions on The Main Issues impacting the Government of America today.

He’s a smooth talker for sure.

Let’s guilt America into voting for him because he is black. It’s high time affirmative action reached this level.

And Clinton, who would vote for her anyway? Way to many negatives for her.

Getting back to the issues when?

I am not sure what is more distrubing…

The fact that people considered Obama to be “perfect” before this mess over his Pastor

OR

The fact that they think the mess over his Pastor is a GOOD thing for Obama because it shows he isn’t perfect after all

Wow!

These questions should always be asked of any Senator or Representative who is a candidate making promises while running for office:

1) What exactly did you DO while you were a member of Congress, to accomplish the promises you are making today?

2) Is your RECORD of what you have DONE, CONSISTENT with the promises you are making in your campaign today?

The answers for most candidates are:

1) Nothing.

2) No. I’m just making shit up now promising the moon to the moon lovers, and the sun to the sun lovers. Whatever it takes to get elected, I will do. And I’ll change my position on any issue several times (even in the same day) if that’s what it takes to make my audience of the moment happy.

“) No. I’m just making shit up now promising the moon to the moon lovers, and the sun to the sun lovers. Whatever it takes to get elected, I will do. And I’ll change my position on any issue several times (even in the same day) if that’s what it takes to make my audience of the moment happy.”

Unfortunately, that describes pretty much the political scene today. Worse, apparently people of all ages, of all backgrounds, of both parties, accept this pablum as real meat.

Anybody who is really intelligent and qualified for POTUS, is smart enough not to want the job.

I like the way he thinks and how he handles controversy with intelligence, grace, and common sense. He lacks the baggage of Hill-Bill and he thinks outside the box, unlike McCain who is just going to be satisfied to run things as they are under Bush.
How soon Obama’s detractors forget the love between Bush and Jerry Falwell. Or the image of Bill sitting in the front row of the church, clapping, singing, with tears rolling down his eyes right after his affair with Monica came to light. Hilary appears to have the same values as her husband because she was the “stand by your man” kinda’ woman after all.
No…no hyprocrisy, hidden agendas, or phoniness there at all.

Max wants to “talk about the issues” and “what did the candidate DO.”

Uh . . . okay, dude.

George W. Bush and the RepubliCON majority

Five years and one day of war in Iraq based on non-existent “tons and tons of Weapons of Mass Destruction”

Suppressed studies showing that the Iraqi WMD did not exist. Continue to lie to this day that “the Democrats saw the same intelligence we did.”

Spent half a trillion dollars on the War for Oil in Iraq, with conservative estimates of total cost in excess of three trillion dollars. This after the Bush administration repeatedly said the war would cost no more than 1.5 billion and Iraq would pay with oil revenue.

Killed nearly 4,000 Americans in a war that was sold as lasting no longer than “six days, six weeks, I can’t imagine six months.” No end in sight.

Presided over an economy in which the rich got massively richer, the poor poorer, and middle class wages fell. For the first five years of Bush’s presidency, the number of people living in poverty grew every year after falling every year under Clinton.

Believed in “de-regulation” so strongly that regulators turned a blind eye to massive bad faith loans. This has directly resulted in the current recession, the bankruptcy of a major investment firm (Bear-Stearns), and the near-collapse of the housing market.

Stock market indexes like the DJIA are hovering around just where they were when Bush took office in Jan 2001–no growth for nearly eight years. One of the worst periods of American stock funds since Nixon-Carter.

The dollar has fallen against major currencies to levels unimaginable eight years ago — the Pound is $2 to 1, the Euro is over $1.5 to 1, even the long-suffering Canadian dollar is now stronger than ours.

National debt has nearly doubled thanks to Bush’s budgets (passed by a compliant RepubliCON congress). It went from 5 Trillion in 2001 to over 9 Trillion today. As a percentage of GDP, it also increased.

The worst terrorist attack on American soil took place nine months after Bush was selected president. This dispite the near sinking of the USS Cole just a few months before Bush took office.

Bush fired US prosecutors who would not break the law by witch hunting Democrats during elections. Bush officials subpeoned by Congress over this matter simply refuse to appear.

When called out for their lies that “Saddam Hussein sought uranium in Africa,” the Bush administration took petty vengance against Valerie Plame Wilson by exposing her CIA status. Her front company “Brewster-Jennings” was blown, putting in peril everyone associated with the CIA operation and destroying valuable contacts made over decades. Their primary mission, ironically, was finding Weapons of Mass Destruction.

A special prosecutor followed the trail all the way to Scooter Libby, who simply perjured himself to protect Dick Cheney. Unsurprisingly, Libby’s sentence was commuted by Bush and his legal fees paid by PAC’s and special interests.

******

So that’s the short-list: never-ending war, repudiation of the law, cronyism, a stunned and staggered economy, a debased and devalued currency.

By any measure one can imagine, Bush remains the

Worst.
President.
Ever.

Yeah Capn, I want to talk about the CANDIDATES on The Issues.

Bush isn’t a CANDIDATE, yet you want to keep talking about HIM.

Where was Obama during this whole period you criticize? What specifically did Obama do during this same time period to address the problems you complain about?

“Regular” sneered –

“…duh Reverend Wright…”

Racist scum.

Max–

No doubt that you CONs want to run from Bush in this election cycle.

It’s every patriotic American’s duty however to remind voters of what the RepubliCON party has done to our beloved country.

Fish – No, he doesn’t have to take it quite that far, he can just start another war, this time with Iran, and bankrupt this country financially and militarily before we can get someone else in there to clean up his mess.

I don’t read the NYT because they do not objectively report news, they are just a tabloid for the far left, Why does the Eagle feel the need to quote them? Obama’s remaining supporters will vote for him no matter what he does, and if you’ve listened to his pastor/mentor you know who I’m talking about. The Rev. Wright is honest enough to speak his mind. The only people who attend that church are people who have similar beliefs, and are teaching their children those beliefs. If that’s what you want in a leader, then by all means vote for him.

Off to work at one of my 3 jobs….isn’t America wonderful?!?
See ya on the flip side.” unquote

As compared to say…Europe, where in many countries it is illegal to hold 2 jobs, make overtime, and most shops are required to close rather than remain open for a second shift? How about trying to do a do-it-yourself project there…where you have to be licensed to even purchase tools. How about the kids that don’t make the grades by middle school age…who will never have a shot at college, but have no choice other than a blue-collar trade?

I am happy to live in a country where leftists haven’t managed to destroy us…yet.

When Bush ran for office he was announced as such a great moral Christian leader. As displayed in the documentary Jesus Camp people would actually pray to a cardboard cutout of him. Bush said God told him to run for office and recently he said his justification for invading Iraq was to spread his religion to the Iraqi people.

As for Obama people just keep on bringing up the subject of him and religion so he has to respond. He’s been called an Atheist, a Muslim, and now attending a racist Christian church. It’s only the Republicans who oppose Obama who are demanding perfection, Obama supporters see his religion as a non-issue.

Maureen Dowd at the NY Times invented the bogus ‘Love Story’ attack on Al Gore.

Dowd and the NY Times are not reliable sources.

Obama’s goin DOWN!

Woo Hoo.

I agree, TDT. For some reason he thinks the worse mess he gets us in the more we have to go with his man.

Corporate america logic. Give a substandard service at an exhorbitant rate and when you lose your client base just up your rates, diminish your service because the people ‘OWE YOU’.

Amongst the tougher questions not asked in nationwide softball interviews with Barack Hussein
Obamanation:
“Didn’t you feel uncomfortable sitting for years with a congregation of Church of Christ apostates who repeatedly gave standing ovations to Rev. Wright’s separatist, extremist, anti-American rhetoric?”

Good post, Doug.

I noticed that too — the same people who said he studied at a “madrassa” (which btw is simply the arabic word for school — just as our word for school comes from the Yiddish/Jewish word “shule”), that he was Muslim are now saying he’s an extremist Christian.

Their attacks aren’t based on any kind of fact — they’re just attacks.

Mom of 5…it’s pretty bad when it takes 3 jobs to pay the bills. You must be independantly weatlhy to be so out of touch with the cost of living in this country right now. Bush thinks those like me have it so good…but I’m just thankful that I can make enough money to keep my head above water..it’s those who live on fixed incomes or bust their butts for minimal pay that I feel for. For them there is no way to keep up with the rising cost of living, and it’s only going to get worse. I’m glad you’re unaffected and so optimistic about the way things are right now.

What about the “peacekeeper” missles? Do they count?
