Interview with Phillip Berg, former Deputy Attorney General for State of Pennsylvania, after filing suit against Hussein Obama, in Federal Court Thursday.............................
"Sen. Obama really owes it to everyone to confront this. He should threaten me....Berg... he should say...here are the documents and, if you do not withdraw the suit, I will sue you... Right now, he has no basis to sue me. If he does have the documents, he should show them, and I???ll walk away. I???ll withdraw the case. But, again, he must show me a certified vault copy of his birth certificate and must show me a certified copy of the oath of allegiance taken between the time he was 19 to 21 at a Consulate, U.S. Embassy or the like. If those documents can be presented, again, I'm out of here. But I don't think he can, I don't think he will, and I think it is a total disgrace on his part."
SERIOUS ALLEGATIONS AND A STRONG CHALLENGE. How will The False One respond??? One thing is for sure...He will HAVE to address it now.
A mohammed in the White House??? God forbid...and He has...
NOBAMA!!!

Give it up, holypants. When Obama becomes Prez, are you going to admit it was God"s will? Which it IS! No more rednecks, white trash in the white house. So--you ARE a southern man? Typical. Why am I not surprised?
Hey, holycow--my father and grandpa are from columbus, Ga. My grandpa was chased out of town by the kkk. Doesn't mean anything, thought I'd just mention it in passing. Oh--and this lovefest that you and spirit are having is making me sick.-

RAVEN...long time no talk. Hope things are going well. Grandpa from Columbus? I live in the N.E. part of Ga. Family came here in early 1700's. KKK at one time was big here. No longer. Ga. is actually a very diverse and great place to live. We have our problems like anywhere, but not to the extent of many.
As for Hussein...I don't think he has very much chance of being elected. I'm doing my best to see to that...for what it is worth.
Anyway...don't be a stranger.

Hi babe, I just got finished reading the article in the Cleveland Leader. This isn't looking good for Obama.

I'm pretty sure Obama is going to lose the election. Then here's what McCain will do - he will try to hunker down in Iraq. But the Maliki government will say, "No, it's time for you to go." See, for those of you who have been drinking GW kool-aid, Maliki is SHIA. And SHIAs were hassled by the SUNNIS when Saddam was in power. NOW, it's payback time. And that's ALL it is.
The SHIAs are about as interested in democracy as, well, GW is.
So, vote for McCain and good luck. It's going to be a bloodbath in Iraq and once again, just like in VIETNAM and BERUIT ( you remember Beruit, don't you?), a REPUBLICAN will be in power while the U.S. gets humiliated.

BIG NOTE: YET CARTER BROKERED THE ISRAEL & EGYPT, MIDDLE EAST PEACE AGREEMENT & THE USA AND RUSSIAN STRATEGIC NUCLEAR ARMS AGREEMENT AND BOTH AGREEMENTS STILL STAND, TO THIS VERY DAY. CONSIDER THAT, WHEN JUDGING PRESIDENT JIMMY CARTER.
LET MCCAIN MATCH CURRENT PRES. GEORGE BUSH'S INTERNATIONAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS TO JIMMY CARTER'S INTERNATIONAL ACCOMPLISHMENTS AND CARTER DID IT ALL WITHOUT INCREASED BLOOD SHED OR NUCLEAR WAR FARE BETWEEN 2 HEAVILY ARMED NUCLEAR NATIONS.

http://www.suntimes.com/news/politics/obama/844597,transcript031508.article
Q: In November 2006, we asked you if Rezko or his company solicit your support on any matter involving state or federal government. And you said no, I've never been asked to do anything to advance his business interests.
A: That's correct.
Q: However, we later learned that you wrote a letter on Oct. 28, 1998, to city and state housing officials urging them to fund a senior-citizen building that Rezko was developing with your former boss, Allison Davis - a deal that paid them $855,000 in development fees. All of which raises for us a couple of questions.
A: Before you ask the questions, he did not solicit that from me. I think his own counsel has indicated that he did not make the request for that letter. That was a project, it may have ended up coming from the alderman's office because I think they wrote the exact same form letter. This was a project that was well-regarded in the community, has done well, and was supported on its own merits, and it was essentially a form letter of the sort that I did all time. And that I wasn't, by the way, aware of.
Q: You weren't aware that he was associated with the project?
A: I wasn't even aware that we wrote the letter. The answer that I gave at the time was accurate as far as I knew.
Q: As you know, what it appears to be is endorsing the project of a client of your law firm and a campaign contributor in your official capacity as an
Illinois state senator.
A: I recall the story that you wrote together. And as I said before, this is not a letter he solicited. I don't know who solicited the letter. I had a single district director. These are letters of the sort that we did all the time. We would find out if a project was worthy. This was one of many form letters, or letters of recommendation we would send out constantly for all sorts of projects. And my understanding is that our letter was just one of
many. And I wasn't a decision maker in any of this process.
Q: In retrospect, is this one of those things, even though it may be a daily practice in how things get done, that a legislator should have known, like vetting every project in terms of who's in it, who's got money in it?
A: Well Carol, I have to say ... I had one district director. That was my staff, one person in my office to do everything. Somebody that comes in and makes requests for help on food stamps. Somebody who comes in and asks for help in terms of Social Security. This was not a high tech operation. So we can talk about what resources would be needed in order for a state legislator to do that, but what we typically would do is make sure this is a project that was worthy and it was.-
Posted By: pearsoncrz @ 08/25/2008 12:44:12 PM
Q: You're managing partner said you didn't leave the firm until you went to the U.S. Senate.
A: I stopped working at the firm as an associate when I went to the state senate in 1997, I became "of counsel" and for probably sporadically in the subsequent years would do some work over the summers with the firm or when I wasn't either in Springfield or teaching at the University of Chicago. I think it's fair to say that just about all the work that I billed had to do with litigation on civil rights cases and appellate work so it was entirely
separate form all the transactional [real estate/ neighborhood redevelopment] work that was done.

Even though Illinois ethics disclosure forms are designed to reveal possible financial conflicts by lawmakers, on disclosure forms for 2001 and 2002, Obama did not specify that a Blackwell company (EKI) provided him with the bulk of the private-sector compensation he received. Instead, as was his custom, he attached a multi-page list of all the law firm's clients, which included EKI among hundreds. Illinois law does not require more specific disclosure.
Stanley Brand, a Washington lawyer who counsels members of Congress and others on ethics rules, said he would have advised a lawmaker in Obama's circumstances to separately disclose such a singularly important client and not simply include it on a list of hundreds of firm clients, even if the law does not explicitly require it. "I would say you should disclose that to protect and insulate yourself against the charge that you are concealing it," Brand said.
Obama's tax returns show that he made no money from his law practice in 2000, the year of his unsuccessful run for a congressional seat. But that changed in 2001, when Obama reported $98,158 income for providing legal services. Of that, $80,000 was from Blackwell's company.
In 2002, the state senator reported $34,491 from legal services and speeches. Of that, $32,000 came from the EKI legal assignment, which ended in April 2002 by mutual agreement, as Obama ceased the practice of law and looked ahead to the possibility of running for the U.S. Senate. .
Obama's spokesman said that listing all clients was appropriate and that doing so allowed the public to see any and all potential conflicts for Obama and his law firm colleagues. "He was especially mindful of this responsibility as a leader of ethics reform," said Gibbs, his chief campaign spokesman.
A few months after receiving his final payment from Blackwell's company, EKI, Obama sent a request on state Senate letterhead urging Illinois officials to provide a $50,000 tourism promotion grant to another Blackwell company, Killerspin.
Though Obama's formal efforts consisted of writing a letter and a proclamation, the nitty-gritty of obtaining state grants fell to a former state Senate and campaign aide to Obama, Dan Shomon.
Shomon, working part time for Obama's campaign and for Killerspin, helped prepare Killerspin's initial grant application in 2002. Still working part time with Obama, Shomon helped Killerspin secure a $200,000 grant for its 2003 tournament and a $100,000 grant for its 2004 tournament.
Nice return on Blackwell's "investment" in Obama. So much for Obama's sense of ethics and transparency.-

Another lie
Q: But your law firm was involved in those cases, representing Rezko and/or his partners that owned the buildings that were getting foreclosed on . . .
A: But I was no longer with the firm. I was "Of counsel" and I was not doing any work with them.
[ANOTHER LIE -- HE WAS TAKING MONEY FROM BLACKWELL, EITHER HE WAS DOING NO WORK FOR THEM, AND LIED IN CONNECTION WITH TAKING BLACKWELL'S MONEY, OR HE IS LYING HERE.]

Obama has lambasted lobbyists and moneyed interests who "have turned our government into a game only they can afford to play."
"It's an entire culture in Washington -- some of it legal, some of it not," the Democratic hopeful told a New York crowd in June. But last year Obama introduced nine separate bills exempting foreign chemical company Nufarm from import fees on a range of chemical ingredients it uses in the manufacture of pesticides and herbicides.
Nufarm wasn't the only beneficiary of Obama's efforts to reduce customs fees and duties. In early May of 2006, two Washington lobbyists registered to work on behalf of Astellas Pharma, a Japanese-owned drug company which also has offices in Illinois.
Together, Obama's obscure measures -- known as tariff suspensions -- steered more than $12 million away from federal coffers, according to government estimates.
While legal, Obama's bills on behalf of Nufarm and other companies are part of the special treatment machine Washington rolls out for special interests, say good-government watchdogs. With a dozen tariff suspension bills to his name, Obama stands out as the most prolific of any presidential hopeful on the topic. Sen. John McCain introduced none.
"If you have a company...there's a whole factory set up to help you get these suspensions," said Steve Ellis, president of the Washington, D.C.-based watchdog group Taxpayers for Common Sense. "It's a pay-to-play system you have to rev up and work." Hire the right lobbyist, pay the right fee, and you can save millions, he explained.
Some say the tariff suspension process isn't how Washington should operate.
In his speeches, Sen. Obama seems to agree: "We need a president who sees government not as a tool to enrich well-connected friends and high-priced lobbyists, but as the defender of fairness and opportunity for every American," the candidate said in his June speech. "That's the kind of president I intend to be."
But his actions speak louder than his words.
Junker defended tariff suspensions as good for American businesses. "It's nothing to be embarrassed, ashamed or suspicious of," he said.
justifying the breaks for Nufarm to import a chemical known as 2,4 D and other ingredients by claiming they would "eliminate these unnecessary and avoidable...costs to [Nufarm's] consumers."
But the company's financial reports, issued just two months after Obama introduced Nufarm's numerous tariff-lifting bills, indicate Nurarm was making more money than ever before in North America because it had increased its prices on its U.S. and Canadian customers, predominantly farmers, in particular on "phenoxy herbicides," a family which includes 2,4 D.
Economics aside, some medical researchers have purported to find a link between high exposure to the chemical and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, a type of cancer.

Obama camp downplays Clinton backers at convention
MyWay by Darlene Superville Aug 25, 2008
DENVER (AP) - Barack Obama's campaign dismissed concerns about the impact of die-hard supporters of Hillary Rodham Clinton on the choreographed show of unity Democrats were opening Monday at their nominating convention.
Opening night at the Pepsi Center, the main venue for the four-day Democratic National Convention, aimed to tell the Illinois senator's personal story to the millions of voters nationwide who will begin tuning in to the presidential campaign. Obama's wife, Michelle, was the evening's keynote speaker.
An emotional highlight was expected to come with a video tribute to Sen. Edward M. Kennedy. The liberal stalwart was diagnosed in May with a malignant brain tumor and has had surgery and a six-week course of chemotherapy and radiation.
Behind the scenes, however, polls showing significant Clinton support still being denied to Obama and pro-Clinton demonstrations at offsite venues were creating a different kind of anticipation. Clinton has backed Obama and was scheduled to speak Tuesday night.
"There are a lot of delegates here who had passionate choices in an extended primary season," Obama spokesman Robert Gibbs told "Today" on NBC. "We feel confidant that if we can demonstrate a record of change, a record of vision ... a team of Barack Obama and Joe Biden can convince Democrats, Republicans and independents to support a ticket of change in November."
Republican candidate John McCain tried to widen any schism remaining between primary-season rivals with a TV ad featuring a Clinton supporter who now backs McCain over Obama.
"She had the experience and judgment to be president," says Debra Bartoshevich, identified by the McCain campaign as a former Clinton delegate. Of McCain, she says: "I respect his maverick and independent streak, and now he's the one with the experience and judgment. A lot of Democrats will vote McCain. It's OK, really!"

Poll for White House Tied
by Paul Steinhauser CNN Deputy Political Director
DENVER, Colorado (CNN) -- It's a dead heat in the race for the White House.
The first national poll conducted after Barack Obama publicly named Joe Biden as his running mate suggests that the battle for the presidency between the Illinois senator and John McCain is all tied up.
In a new CNN/Opinion Research Corp. poll released Sunday night, 47 percent of those questioned are backing Obama, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominees, with an equal amount supporting his Republican opponent, McCain.
"This looks like a step backward for Obama, who had a 51 to 44 percent advantage last month," said CNN Polling Director Keating Holland. "Even last week, just before his choice of Joe Biden as his running mate became known, most polls tended to show Obama with a single-digit advantage over McCain."
So what's the difference now?
It may be supporters of Hillary Clinton, who still would prefer the New York senator and former first lady as the Democratic Party's presidential nominee.
Sixty-six percent of Clinton supporters -- registered Democrats who want Clinton as the nominee -- are now backing Obama. That's down from 75 percent in the end of June. Twenty-seven percent of them now say they'll support McCain, up from 16 percent in late June.
"The number of Clinton Democrats who say they would vote for McCain has gone up 11 points since June, enough to account for most, although not all, of the support McCain has gained in that time," Holland said

McCain is not in charge of his own campaign. He learned in 2000 that he needed to get nasty. He's not the "Maverick" the media came to adore in 2000. The question is, "If he wins, will he govern as the "Maverick" or will he govern as "Dr. Strangelove"? The answer lies in his opinion that we could have won Vietnam, we should stay 100 years in Iraq, and we should "bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb, bomb Iran."
Obama needs to be tough if he's going to win. Meacham has that part right on the money. Bambis don't win elections. Fighters do.

The question raised by the right about when "human rights begins" will have profound consequences in this election. But what Obama failed to capitalize on and what the Christian right omits is, "When do human rights END?" Do they end when a born-again, Christian president "feels" threatened and CHOOSES a pre-emptive war which ends the lives not just of a dictator but anyone who gets in the way? Do human rights end when a nation decides to go back on its treaties and up-end Native American burial sites for worldly possessions?
What Obama missed was an opportunity to tell the Christian right that, despite OUR views as to when human rights BEGIN, we cannot get caught up in basing LAW on our RELIGIOUS views, otherwise we'd be no better than the Taliban.
This election, MY FRIENDS, is going to boil down to COURAGE. Does Barack Obama have the COURAGE (read, "cajones") to stand up to the likes of John McCain? If he does, he wins. If he shieds away, he loses. It's a great test and one the country deserves to witness as it elects it's next president.-

Conniving is another descriptor I'd apply to Obama. He tries to trick people into saying things, exposing a debater's strategy and mentality, not a search for truth.
http://www.americanthinker.com/2008/04/obamas_linguistic_trap.html
That's what his campaign was doing when they got their flunkie to ask McCain about how many houses he owns. Condos are not houses, but they were all ready with an ad no matter what McCain said in response to the question.
Last president we had who engaged in such shenanigans and overtly manipulated the system and the press was "tricky Dicky" -- Obama is a step ahead of him, however, as the unnamed politician in the Rezko indictment.
