    I've said this for over a year 'willnotvoteobama'. Obamabots are walking zombies full of denial. The truth hurts and Barack Hussein Obama is all about political expediency...and the DNC is about political stupidity.

    Barack Hussein Obama is a MUSLIM...plain and simple...the whole world knows it and acknowledges it ...thats around 20 Billion people that outnumber 40 million Obamabots who believe different. The 20 billion people are right.

      20 billion people!

      Hate to break this to you, DUMBO, but the popolaution of planet earth is about 6 1/2 billion.

      Go back to raking up Maple Leaves! Nobody cares about your insane rantings.

      you see thats our whole problem we keep posting about him being black or a muslium or about rev wright/pheagler we need to start to address his positions on the issues then the american people will see he don't have a plan of action he won't do town halls with mcCain or debate him in open fourm because with out the telepromter he has no answers to the american people's questions he is weak and hopefully we will be able to expose him to the american voters !!! so lets ask the right questions to his bloggers the first one i'd like is how come he won't meet with mcCain to do town hall meetings!!!

    I really wish that I had time on my hands like 'willnotvoteobama' does. With all of the posts that he's provided, none relates to the article above. My guess is that every Obama hater on this thread is either a hedge-fund manager, a twisted white-collar defense lawyer or a special interest lobbyist. Or, perhaps you're like Evan Thomas and get kick backs for writing stories that shed a dirty light on someone that knows what has been happening and is going to try and make it stop. Evan Thomas, your story is down right advocacy for how this administration has turned raiding the public purse into a legitimate enterprise. Just because the money that trumps idealistic campaign promises is legal money, doesn't make it clean money or earned money.

    You say that you don't see what's going to change the disconnect? Here's a tip, try reporting on all of the things that Obama says he want's to change: the back room dealings, the status quo and narrow interests with their legal loopholes for funneling the public's treasure into their own deep pockets. I'll bet that if one of you idiot "reporters" would REPORT to the public how they ...we are being robbed blind of our money for education, health care, infrastructure and any number of other public services that are due, in the same manner that you report about Britney, Paris and other countries problems, then they might know what's going on and stand up for themselves. But, until you're done partying it up with your dirty lawyers, big oil lobbyists, and political "insiders", the real news will go unknown and neglected.

      Anyone wasting time posting this nonsense, must be obsessed. Obama wins in Nov. Good luck.

  • Posted By: Kboogie @ 06/26/2008 1:14:08 PM

    NOW, THIS IS INTERESTING....................

    According to RealClearPolitics, Obama is leading by 7pts in the National Poll, 70pts in the Electoral College, and leading in 5 out of the 7 "battleground" states".

    RasmussenPoll is holding steady w/ Obama leading by 5pts. The Rasmussen Reports Balance of Power Calculator shows Obama leading in states with 200 Electoral College votes while McCain leads in states with 174 votes. When leaners are included, it???s Obama 284, McCain 240.

    The Gallup Poll is showing a national tie. But what's interesting is that Obama is no longer showing weakness w/ Catholics, Jews, or Hispanics:

    "Among major U.S. religious groups, Catholic voters are most closely divided in their presidential voting preferences, with Barack Obama holding a narrow 47% to 43% advantage over John McCain. McCain leads Obama among Protestants (48% to 41%) and Mormons (70% to 23%) while Obama holds the upper hand among Jewish voters (62% to 29%) and those with no religious affiliation (65% to 25%)."

    "Catholics have traditionally been a key swing-voter group, and the 2008 election is proving to be no exception. Obama's appeal to minority voters -- including Hispanics -- helps to push him ahead of McCain among Catholics. In these data, roughly one in seven Catholic registered voters report being of Hispanic ethnicity, and they prefer Obama by a 66% to 25% margin."

    Whether you count the Newsweek, LA TIMES, or Bloomburg Polls, (or not), the end result remains the same - If the election were today, McCain would be TOAST!!!!!

    Actually, Obama has been the front-runner since he defeated HRC, officially.

    Almost forgot.............OH HAPPY DAYS!!!!!!!!!

    • Posted By: willnotvoteobama @ 06/25/2008 9:14:39 AM

      21.) I Have Released My State Records - Lie, as of May, 1 2008, state bills you sponsored or voted for have yet to be released, exposing all the special interests pork hidden within.
      22.) I Took On The Asbestos Altgeld Gardens Mess - Lie, you were part of a large group of people who remedied Altgeld Gardens. You failed to mention anyone else but yourself, in your books.

      24.) I Have Been A Bold Leader In Illinois - Lie, even your own supporters claim to have not seen BOLD action on your part.
      25.) I Passed 26 Of My Own Bills In One Year - Lie, they were not YOUR bills, but rather handed to you, after their creation by a fellow Senator, to assist you in a future bid for higher office.
      26.) No One Contacted Canada About NAFTA - Lie, the Candian Government issued the names and a memo of the conversation your campaign had with them.

      35.) My Campaign Was Extorted By A Friend - Lie, that friend is threatening to sue if you do not stop saying this. Obama has finally stopped saying this.
      36.) I Believe In Fairness, Not Tactics - Lie, you used tactics to eliminate Alice Palmer (a fellow democrat that wanted you to replace her in the next term) from running against you by challenging ALL of her signatures and thus running unopposed.
      37.) I Don't Take PAC Money - Lie, you take loads of it. The Obama PAC is the largest PAC in the US Senate. I dare Obama supporters to go look this up.

      • Posted By: willnotvoteobama @ 06/25/2008 9:16:30 AM

        38.) I don't Have Lobbyists - Lie, you have over 47 lobbyists, and counting.
        39.) My Campaign Had Nothing To Do With The 1984 Ad - Lie, your own campaign worker made the ad on his Apple in one afternoon.
        40.) My Campaign Never Took Over MySpace - Lie, Tom, who started MySpace issued a warning about this to MySpace clients.
        41.) I Inspire People With My Words - Lie, you inspire people with other people's words.
        42.) I Have Passed Bills In The U.S. Senate - Lie, you have passed A BILL in the U.S. Senate - for Africa, which shows YOUR priorities.
        43.) I Have Always Been Against Iraq - Lie, you weren't in office to vote against it AND you have voted to fund it every single time, unlike Kucinich, who seems to be out gutting you. You also seem to be stepping back from your departure date in Iraq - AGAIN.
        44.) I Have Always Supported Universal Health Care - Lie, your plan leaves us all to pay for the 15,000,000 who don't have to buy it.
        45.) I Only Found Out About My Investment Conflicts Via Mail - Lie, both companies you site as having sent you letters about this conflict have no records of any such letters ever being created or sent.
        46.) My Wife Didn't Mean What She Said About Pride In Country - Lie, your wife's words follow lock-step in the vein of Wright and Farrakhan, in relation to their contempt and hatred of America.
        47.) Wal-Mart Is A Company I Wouldn't Support - Lie, your wife has received nearly a quarter of a million dollars through Treehouse, which is connected to Wal-Mart.
        48.) Treehouse Is A Small Company - Lie, the CEO of Treehouse last year, made more than the CEO of Wal-Mart, according to public records.
        49.) University Of Chicago Hospital Pay Is Fair - Lie, your wife's pay raise was nearly 150% her already bloated rate (going from $120K to $320K weeks after you got into the US Senate and tried to get a $1 million pork project for the very same hospital) and the hospital is a Non-Profit Hospital, which made $100,000,000 in the last 3 years. They overcharge blacks VS whites for services, and overcharge everyone in general by 538%!
        50.) I Barely Know Rezko - Only 5 Billed Hours - Lie, you have known him for 17 years, and decided to do a real estate deal with him during a time when he was proven to be under investigation. Despite this, you divided your property and had them take off $300K before the mortgage problems started. Then Rezko's wife buys the lot beside it that you can't afford, saving you $625,000.
        51.) My Donations Have Been Checked Thoroughly - Lie, you only gave back Hsu ($72K [Yes, the same Hsu, Obama supporters try to tie Clinton to]) and Rezko (first $66K, then when caught lying $86K, then when caught lying again $150K and now caught lying YET AGAIN, it's $250k) their money when publically called on their involvement in your campaigns.

        • Posted By: willnotvoteobama @ 06/25/2008 9:18:45 AM

          52.) My Church Is Like Any Other Christian Church - Lie, your church is so extreme, the pastor who married you, Rev. Wright, just got done blaming the US for 9/11 and named Louis Farrakhan their person of the year.
          53.) I Disagree With My Church All The Time - Lie, you only recently repudiated Wright, who married you and your wife, and you still donate large sums of money to assist the church in furthering its message - hatred and revenge. You donated in 2006 alone, $22,500 to the church that you so terribly disagree with. That is nearly $500 PER WEEK - that sure is disagreement, Senator Obama.
          54.) I Have Clean Connections Despite Rezko - Lie, you are not only connected to Exelon and Rezko, you are also connected to Hillary PAC supporter Mr. Hsu, AND an Iraqi Billionaire of ill repute, Nadhmi Auchi, who ripped off people in the Food For Oil, Iraqi deal. Mr. Auchi was also found guilt in another political corruption scandal (largest in France since WWII). And this is one of Obamas' good supporters that paid millions into the Obama campaign.
          55.) I never heard sermons like Rev. Wright's, that have been in videos on You Tube all day - Lie! 3 days later during your Mea Culpa speech you said "Did I hear controversial statements while I sat in that church? Yes I did." FLIP-FLOPPER
          56.) The Passport Invasion is a conspiracy to find dirt on me! - Lie. Your own Campaign Foreign Policy Advisor is the CEO of the company that looked into your records. Could it be that you had them look into yours to hide the fact you looked into Clinton's and McCain's more than a year before!
          57.) Rev. Meeks has nothing to do with my campaigning - Lie. Rev. Meeks appeared in ads for your Senate Campaign, donated to you, and helped raise money, then AND NOW. He also seems to despise America as much as Rev. Wright.
          58.) My wife didn't mean America is ignorant, she was just using a phrase - Lie. Again, MicHELLe's comments are perfectly in sync with Wright's, Meeks', and Farrakhan's, both in language, anger, and direction.
          59.) I am very Anti-Terror - Lie. One of your good pals is long time radical and terrorist William Ayers, with whom you have been seen in the last 12 months and who has helped the now jailed Khalidi, Professor at Columbia who invited Ahmadinejad to the University, to raise money for Palestinian terrorism attacks against Israel. PS - Your church published a pro Hamas Manifesto - guess you weren't there on THAT Sunday either? How lucky for you.

          • Posted By: willnotvoteobama @ 06/25/2008 9:20:19 AM

            60.) I have the best plan to cure the Mortgage Crisis - Lie. You and your campaign buddy Penny 'Sub Prime Bank Collapse' Prizker have had your little fingers full of subprime cash - Obama has taken $1,180,103 from the top issuers of subprime loans: Obama received $266,907 from Lehman, $5395 from GMAC, $150,850 from Credit Suisse First Boston, $11,250 from Countrywide, $9052 from Washington Mutual, $161,850 from Citigroup, $4600 from CBASS, $170,050 from Morgan Stanley, $1150 from Centex, and last but certainly NOT LEAST - Obama received $351,900 from Goldman Sachs. I am sure that cash all came from folks who knew the subprime loan they had was a dream, eh?
            61.) I played a greater role in crafting liberal stands on gun control, the death penalty and abortion - Lie - It was found that Obama -- the day after sitting for the interview -- filed an amended version of the questionnaire, which appears to contain Obama's own handwritten notes added to one answer. Read Obama had greater role on liberal survey. html version
            We already know Barack Hussein Obama has no experience and no plan, but boy does he give great speeches.... or does he?

    The Many "Quotes" of Barack Obama

    "I don't think my church is particularly controversial."

    Rev. Wright is "like an old uncle who sometimes says things I don't agree with."

    "The emotion between the races could never be pure..... the other race would always remain just that: menacing, alien, and apart."

    "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"

    "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..".

    "I am not in favor of concealed weapons. I think that creates a potential atmosphere where more innocent people could (get shot during) altercations."

    "The person who made me proudest of all, though, was [half brother] Roy .. He converted to Islam."

    "...I've got two daughters. 9 years old and 6 years old. I am going to teach them first of all about values and morals. But if they make a mistake, I don't want them punished with a baby."

    "I cannot swallow whole the view of Lincoln as the Great Emancipator."

    "I opposed the Defense of Marriage Act in 1996. It should be repealed and I will vote for its repeal on the Senate floor. I will also oppose any proposal to amend the U.S. Constitution to ban gays and lesbians from marrying."

    "You know, my faith is one that admits some doubt."

    Sen Pinnochio...................

    Obama says in his ad that he ???extended healthcare for wounded troops that had been neglected??? and cites Public Law 110-181 as proof of this.

    The problem is: Obama didn???t show up to vote that day!

    Obamamohammeds do not care. They have too much emotional energy invested in his "divine nature", to let something as petty as TRUTH stand in the HOPE and CHANGE.

    NOBAMA!!!

    Wow. I read all the comments, and it's funny to see that Mccain followers are still trying to "put on a happy face", like they don't see their candidate twirling down the toilet drain. His best argument is that we should occupy Iraq til forever because since the military put 10s of thousands more troops over there it will be more peaceful and we could just hang around anyhow. HUH? Then, drilling. Daddy Bush & Co. obviously had some very important info on this stuff to BAN it back then.

    My main two problems with each candidate:

    Obama: Don't want him to pull the troops in haste, needs 2 crack down on illegals.

    Mccain: Man! I can't trust this guy, he moves around like a jellyfish on anything he wants to. You can see his outward "phoniness", especially when he rants "my friends!' over & over. He's on the crazy side of almost every important issue. He wants to keep up with the rich breaks, the Bush war, the being puppeteered by by our snaky govt policies. He often claims one thing, only to find out a totally separate thing occured. And we ALL KNOW he is trying so hard to just say whatever he possibly can to win for the system, the wealthy.

    Did you guys notice how Mccain tried to immediately call Obama a "flip flopper" after Obama opted out of public finance? But Mccain his flipped & flopped on at least 5 plus issues, IMPORTANT ONES AT THAT! Mccain is just salty cause Obama's playing the game so good, he said he was, which made Mccain take out a loan against our money back in the primaries. Now Mccain HAS TO accept the money & be limited to like 84 million.

    Mccain's so deceitful he's tried to make it out to be we can't trust Obama if he changes his mind. But this really only affects Mccain.

    GOOD ONE OBAMA!!!!!

    Some of you who read my posts about investment banks driving up the price of oil through commodities futures trading did not believe me that this was a real issue, despite the fact that the Senate is investigating it. Well, it really is an issue and an important one, so important that the Department of Justice is going to investigate.

    Senator Obama announced a plan to crack down on excessive energy speculation and fully close the loophole in the CFTC regulations that I referred to in my blog. This loophole is also called the "Enron Loophole" because it was created by McCain campaign co-chair Phil Gramm at the behest of Enron lobbyists, and exempts most trading on energy commodities from regulation. As a result, the CFTC is unable to oversee the oil futures market or investigate cases where excessive speculation is driving up oil prices. Just last month, John Hofmesiter, President of Shell Oil Company, says that the proper, uninflated production price of a barrel of crude oil is no more than $65.

    http://www.financialpost.com/reports/oil-watch/story.html?id=532747

    Clarence Cazalot, CEO of Marathon Oil, stated in November of 2007 that "$100 oil just isn't justified by the physical demand on the market - it is speculation on the futures market that is driving this."

    http://money.cnn.com/2007/11/12/markets/oil_hundred/index.htm?postversion=2007111216

    Larry Chom, Chief Economist of Platt's, states in a recent Businessweek article that speculation is adding at least $50 to the price of every barrel of oil. You can read this article in the May 13, 2008 edition of Businessweek, but it is no longer available on their website unless you are a member.

    http://www.businessweek.com/bwdaily/dnflash/content/may2008/

    To see what Senator Obama is doing to correct this serious problem and lower the price of gas and oil, go to his website:

    http://my.barackobama.com/page/community/post/stateupdates/gG5Rzb

    Now THAT is my kind of President! Sees the problem, and moves to fix it, while Bush and McCain are sitting on their hands.

    About a week ago, it was also revealed that Ayham al-Samurai, a former Iraqi exile (now an American citizen) who had hidden out in the U.S. for 20 years, called for support of the terrorist insurgency against U.S. forces in Iraq, has contributed $2,300 to Obama???s campaign (the maximum amount allowed for an individual under the law), and is allegedly back in the Middle East raising more cash for the candidate. The former dissident ??? whose most recent U.S. residence was Chicago ??? also had dealings with Antoin Rezko, the Syrian-American who supported Obama both politically and personally, and who was recently convicted of fraud in a federal court.

    NOBAMA!!!

  • Posted By: HolyRoller @ 06/24/2008 4:45:53 PM

    First it was convicted political fixer Antoin "Tony" Rezko; then it was Nadhmi Auchi; then it was William Ayers and Bernadine Dohrn; then it was Rashid Khalidi; then it was Rev. Wright, Rev. Meeks, Rev.

    Yet my sense is something fundamental is changing in how we view Obama; he is losing what made him seem special and inspiring. He is nothing but a FRAUD. A silly black man who does not know what he stands for. An inexperianced politician who is hypocritical and seeking nothing but selfish celebritory fame. ABSURD to elect such a liberal liar. Bill Clinton ruined it for Hillary- he will ruin it for Obama, Down comes the Spider...

      Nope, only how YOU view Obama. The numbers of "inspired" supporters seem to be growing.

    ANOTHER GREAT DAY!!!!!!!!!!

    From Rasmussen's Daily:

    "Currently, Obama and McCain are essentially even among men while Obama leads by 12% among women. McCain leads 49% to 42% among White Voters but trails 93% to 3% among African-American voters. Among voters who see economic issues as most important this year, Obama leads 59% to 32%."

    "The Rasmussen Reports Balance of Power Calculator shows Obama leading in states with 200 Electoral College votes while McCain leads in states with 174 votes. When leaners are included, it???s Obama 284, McCain 240. "

    Stay tuned for the Gallup Poll Update....

    THIS MAY BE A BLOWOUT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

          kboogie, with all due respect, I don't think many people here believe in the poll numbers anymore.

          • Posted By: Kboogie @ 06/24/2008 2:10:04 PM

            Take a poll on it , and get back to me. I'd say, depends on the numbers.

          obama again offended the women voters saying get over it and don't forget like he says he's BLACK !

      This is not even a contest and as I have always said it never was.

      Extend your Searing PAIN with your vote for McCain

  • Posted By: Kboogie @ 06/24/2008 11:13:16 AM

    IT MUST FEEL GOOD TO BE A "ROOKIE" ON TOP OF THE WORLD!!!!

    Get used to it, President OBAMA!!!!

    Today's Gallup: "By 19- and 16-point margins, respectively, Americans are more likely to see Barack Obama rather than John McCain as better able to handle energy prices and the economy, two of the most important presidential election issues in the public's eyes at this time. Six other issues were tested in the poll, with the two candidates positioned roughly evenly on Iraq, moral values, and illegal immigration, while Obama has an edge on healthcare and taxes. McCain's only advantage is on terrorism."

    Don't forget the Rasmussen Polls: "The Rasmussen Reports daily Presidential Tracking Poll for Tuesday shows Barack Obama attracting 46% of the vote while John McCain earns 40%. The Rasmussen Reports Balance of Power Calculator shows Obama leading in states with 200 Electoral College votes while McCain leads in states with 174 votes. When leaners are included, it's Obama 284, McCain 240. "

    Oh , happy days!!!!!!!

    Obama is neither experianced or qualified. He has flip flopped more than any other, has skewed the Bible, wants to increase taxes in an unstable economy, does not know anything about foreign policy, has not been to Iraq in many years, will put this country at risk, and will not win simply because Ameica does NOT need a manipulative liar again.

  • Posted By: eddiewhere @ 06/23/2008 11:59:29 PM

    We need to get out of Iraq and transfer responsibility and management of that country to the IRAQ's themselves. THEY SHOULD be backed by a multinational force led by Middle Eastern countries until they are able to fight extremist on their own.
    Our unilateral approach in the MIDDLE EAST has to come to an end. ECONOMICALLY, IRAQ IS KILLING the average tax payer and making a few private contractors and oil firms rich.

    We need Oil. WE NEED OIL. Therefore, getting rid of the Iranian regime is at the top of our agenda.
    The majority in Iran want change but not under and American led invasion. It has to be done from within. We lost the support of moderate Arabs and Muslims over the last six years. Hopefully, PRESIDENT OBAMA can empower this group and encourage them to meet with their counterparts.

    Inotherwords there should be an alliance between all moderates in the Middle East, JEWS, ARABs, MUSLIMS, ect... These forces must be self motivated by a common cause, Peace. IF this group can be strengthened they themselves will defeat or at least contain the force of extremism.
    WE must strengthen the forces behind peace and weaken those against peace on both sides.

    THE UNITED STATES CANNOT SOLVE THE CONFLICT IN THE MIDDLE EAST. WE CAN ONLY STRENGHTEN AND SUPPORT THE PEOPLE OF THE MIDDLE EAST TO SOLVE THEIR OWN PROBLEMS.

    IN THE SHORT RUN WE NEED MIDDLE EASTERN OIL. THIS COMPLICATES OUR ROLE OVER THERE.
    WE Should have had an ENERGY SUMMIT TEN YEARS AGO. WE NEED TO COME UP WITH A TWENTY YEAR PLAN to RID OURSELVES of OIL DEPENDENCY IN THE MIDDLE EAST. TWENTY YEARS WILL GO BY LIKE NOTHING. WE HAVE TO START NOW.

    THE most dangerous threats are the ones you do not see coming. LIKE CHINA, RUSSIA, EASTERN EUROPEAN organized crime. Monitoring these entities will be our great challenge.
    ARE WE READY FOR CYBER WAR. I DON't THINK SO.

    Monday, June 23, 2008
    Obama's political prisoner Larry Sinclair freed
    A Capitol Hill source close to Larry Sinclair reports:


    Larry Sinclair is free!

    Sinclair was transfered from DC jail to a Delaware courtroom this morning.

    The Delaware judge immediately released Sinclair on his own recognizance after a perfunctory hearing this afternoon.

    Apparently, the "fugitive warrrant" used was not really issued from Delaware

    But rather the "fugitive warrant" was fabricated in DC -- perhaps likely by the US Attorney's office. This of course suggests high level political corruption.

    Sinclair's blog is exploding...1,500,000 hits and growing fast. More detailed "evidence" to be revealed. NOT GOING AWAY....

    NOBAMA!!!

    Thomas,who will be pulling the handle for his pal Obama,is merely getting NEWSWEAK readers used to the fact ahead of time that Business As Usual In Washington will continue. Indeed,the ''change''promised by the new Democrat majority became quickly mired in pay-to-play,boondoggle pork to generous campaign contributors,lobbyist free-for-alls,and sub-sub prime loan deals enjoyed by those who sit upon powerful committees that govern these selfsame companies. Obviously, Obamas ''all things to all people'',will be freighted by the weight of reality. El Baradei of the IAEA now says that Iran is ''only two years away''from a nuclear weapon. The Saudis will be in no mood to truckle to Obama any more than they did with Bush on oil prices. A record number of boomers are retiring with effects unknown upon the nations healthcare system. And now Thomas says,like it or no,that todays Obaman message of ''change''will be drowned out to restore the credibility of hack lobbyists because This Is How Washington Works.
