Obama and his old church

It was very, very convenient for Barack Obama to choose to go to his Black Liberation Theology Church in Chicago for over 20 years. He was able to "get in" with the black political establishment by being a pal of Jeremiah Wright and others who help control the ever so corrupt political machine. NOTE: If you want to know more about it's corruption, do a google search on it. You'll learn a lot.

Nonetheless, Obama maintains that he had NEVER heard any of Wright's racist, anti-American, anti-establishment, cussing at the pulpit. If you believe Obama on this, I feel very sorry for you. First, that you would believe this lie. Second, that you would allow yourself to be led by someone who goes to a hate filled church, and doesn't see it as that. Obama, on numerous occasions, said that his church is "a normal, christian church". If his church is a "normal" Christian church, then maybe I'm out of touch.

Obama's oratory flubs

Funny guy with those flubs (McCain gets murdered for flubs as being old and senile)…

• Said his birth was inspired by civil rights events that took place four years later. (He later clarified his dates didn’t match)

• Claimed to be campaigning hard in about 57 states, and had a couple more to go.
• Said his uncle help liberate Concentration Camps in Auschwitz, Poland. (Russia did, not the US.)
• Memorial Day speech saying America’s fallen heroes were present and listening to him in the audience.
• Says McCain wants war in Iraq for 100 years. Besides being a lie, there’s nothing wrong with this statement. McCain actually said as long as nobody is dying and they are safe, we should keep an unlimited presence there. Just like Japan, Germany, France, etc. after wars.
• "In case you missed it, this week, there was a tragedy in Kansas. Ten thousand people died -- an entire town destroyed," the Democratic presidential candidate said in a speech to 500 people packed into a sweltering Richmond art studio for a fundraiser.
  The death toll was 12.

Obama and terrorist William Ayers

According to Campaign Manger David Axelrod, Obama has a "friendly relationship" with unrepented Chicago terrorist William Ayers. Ayers and his wife were a part of the Weatherman Underground Terrorist Organization in the 60's. On September 11, 2001 of all days, Ayers wrote in the NYT that he is unrepented of bombing Capital buildings, the Pentagon, etc. and it fact, "wished we would have done more."

Now here's some facts-

• Ayers was one of the original grantees of the Chicago Annenberg Challenge, a school reform organization in the 1990s, and was co-chairman of the Chicago School Reform Collaborative, one the two operational arms of the CAC. Obama, then not yet a state senator, became chairman of the CAC in 1995.
• Later in that year, the first organizing meeting for Obama's state Senate campaign was held in Ayers's apartment.
• Served on a board with Ayers and gave speeches together.
• Obama says that Ayers "is just a guy who lives in the neighborhood." Yeah, whatever Obama.

I, in no way think that Obama approves of Ayers radical actions in the past. As Obama correctly stated, he was a little one when all of this happened. The whole point is, what in the world is ANYBODY doing being associated with this A-hole, much less somebody who wants to be our President?

Nobody can convince me that this doesn't matter. Obama's judgment is sorely lacking in many areas, look no further than his associations.

What is Change?

We all know that Obama is about change, but what kind of change? I've seen several people interview him on this, and here's what I get from what he says-

" To rise above party politics. To change the way people see Washington. To fix a broken Washington. To allow people to once again have hope in their leaders."

• The part about him rising above party politics is so very laughable. Why don't Democrats see this? Isn't it obvious? This man is a party line liberal voter. When has he ever sided with Republicans on ANY controversial issue? Just hasn't happened. Try a 97% party line voter, named most liberal senator by non-partisan National Journal. And don't be fooled by those 3% that they are any issues controversial.
• Is his change being in bed with: NARAL Pro choice, Planned Parenthood, Environmental groups, Unions, Peace groups, trial Lawyer issues, etc. Has anybody heard him stand up to ANY of these liberal groups? Obama abides by the "don't bite the hand that feeds you" notion.
• He attacks President Bush, McCain, and the "right wing attack jobs" just like any other politician.
• I guess his change is someone trying to run for president who has NO experience. Look: Here is Obama's résumé: an Ivy League law degree, a few years of community organizing, seven years in the Illinois senate, three and a half years as a U.S. senator. Kind of modest. What has he accomplished in any of those jobs? Not much, not much at all.

Obama and Abortion

Continuing from my last post, here's some not so fun facts about Obama and the abortion issue:

1. When Obama said abortions haven't gone down over the last 8 years with a pro-life president, Obama flat out lied. Here's the facts- http://www.factcheck.org/article330.html . At least Obama is not alone in this flat out lie, Howard Dean, John Kerry, and Hillary Clinton spewed these lies as well. Birds in a feather flock together, liberals?
2. Obama opposed the Born-Alive Infants Protection Act- When an abortion goes wrong and the child survives, he doesn’t want medicine so the baby can’t feel the pain. This, Obama concedes, would be admitting that it’s a child, not a fetus.
   Obama, as an Illinois state senator, opposed legislation that would protect babies born alive in botched abortion attempts. He explained, “whenever we define a pre-viable fetus as a person that is protected by the Equal Protection Clause or the other elements in the Constitution, what we’re really saying is, in fact, that they are persons that are entitled to the kinds of protections that would be provided to a — a child, a 9-month old — child that was delivered to term. That determination then, essentially, if it was accepted by a court, would forbid abortions to take place. I mean, it — it would essentially bar abortions, because the Equal Protection Clause does not allow somebody to kill a child, and if this is a child, then this would be an anti-abortion statute.”
3. Obama says he doesn’t want his daughters “punished” by a baby if they make a mistake.
4. In February 2004, his wife, Michelle, sent out a fundraising letter, which actually stated her concern over the rise of conservatism in the Country, and that the ‘so-called’ partial-birth abortion was a legitimate medical procedure that should be protected.
5. Voted no on notifying parents of minors having out of state abortions.
6. Supports Partial Birth Abortion act, just as his wife does above. Here's the gruesome procedure: Guided by ultrasound, the abortionist grabs the baby's leg with forceps;The baby's leg is pulled out into the birth canal; The abortionist delivers the baby's entire body, except for the head; The abortionist jams scissors into the baby's skull. The scissors are then opened to enlarge the hole; The scissors are removed and a suction catheter is inserted. The child's brains are sucked out, causing the skull to collapse. The dead baby is then removed.

Personal note: Sorry about the details on Partial Birth Abortion, but if the story isn't told, people won't know what really happens in this barbaric procedure.

Thought on Obama's Energy checks to consumers

Barack Obama is proposing, as a part of his energy plan, to send out energy checks to consumers for $1,000.

Here's a few issues I have with this:

• Why is Senator Clinton's plan to have a gas tax holiday between Memorial Day and Labor Day called "a gimmick, no real solution" by Obama, when this energy rebate is the same thing. Pot calling the kettle black, Mr. Community Organizer?
• By adding a 'Windfall Tax' to oil companies to pay for this won't solve anything. Even though "sticking it to the oil companies and drug companies" is a nice liberal talking point, they fail to look at the implications:

1. The more oil companies are taxed, the more this gets passed on to the consumer. This is economics 101. If you own a company and your costs rise, of course you will raise your own prices to make up for it.
2. These evil oil companies who are making billions each year are the average American. They are the shareholders in these companies. How many millions of everyday Americans portfolio's would be affected by having our government continuously "stick it" to the oil companies?
