    Don't waste your breaths.John Mcain is the next president. hillary sowed the seeds of racism and Mccain will reap its harvest. we have to wait another 2000 years for a more perfect union.In the meantime, we have pastor wright!!1.

      Obama's the one who played the race card, just like he tried to do with McCain.

      The Clintons are not racists and did not play the race card. Motivating black voters to vote for him because he is black has been a primary goal of Obama's campaign.

      • Posted By: raddave @ 08/25/2008 10:24:55 AM

        Yeah, Obama played the race card by suggesting he won South Carolina because he is black, like Jesse Jackson. Obama said he is only where he is because he is black. Hell, Obama even put his face on a dollar bill and put it on Youtube.

        TO: pearsoncrz who Posted below @ 08/25/2008 00:18:39

        I agree with you.. OBAMA played the Race Card upfront when in fact no RACE CARD had ever been played (Obama setting the hypothetical stage), nor will (and still has not happened as we continue on in this GE race). But Obama just had to INJECT THAT RACE-CONSCIENCE TYPE OF THINKING into not only his campaign against Hillary, but also to put that type of thinking into the minds of people who are undecided lik Hillary supporters to put a scare into them or others to be aware of the Republicans (to create a GUILT- ridden type of thinking). Which is ridiculous. . . .the Repubs would be shooting themselves in the foot to even think of doing such a thing.

        COMMENTS BELOW: This was the FIRST TIME any mention of RACE was introduced into the campaign for the GE race for the presidency with Obama vs. McCain. Obama made the statement noted in this article first the end of June 2008:

        Obama Plays the Race Card Already
        Michael van der Galien, Editor-in-Chief
        June 21, 2008 @ 4:06 pm CEST

        We all know that Obama supporters will pretend that Republicans in general, and John McCain specifically, are racists for, well, NOT supporting the junior Senator from Illinois. We all know that. So, when they do, we should not be surprised. What DID surprise me, however, is that OBAMA ACCUSES REPUBLICANS OF PLAYING THE RACE CARD HIMSELF, directly, BEFORE Republicans have done anything that could possibly be interpreted as race baiting.

        OBAMA SAID at a fundraiser in Jacksonville, FLA: It is going to be very difficult for Republicans to run on their stewardship of the economy or their outstanding foreign policy. We know what kind of campaign they are going to run. They are going to try to make you afraid.

        OBAMA CONTINUED: They are going to try to make you afraid of me. He is young and inexperienced and he has a funny name. . . . AND DID I MENTION HE is BLACK?

        Now, every single person who knows a bit about politics and AMERICAN SOCIETY KNOWS THAT IF REPUBLICANS CAN MAKE ONE GIGANTIC MISTAKE, IT IS FOR THEM TO PLAY THE RACE CARD. They may have gotten away with such an approach 30 or 40 years ago, but it would be suicide today. We all know that.

        But that DOES NOT STOP OBAMA from ACCUSING REPUBLICANS of using his RACE against him nonetheless. It is a typical sign of Obamas audacity (not to hope, but to vilify your opponents) and NEW KIND OF POLITICS. Accuse of opponents of racism, simply because they dare not vote for a black guy.

          Folks, you dont have to be a rocket scientist to know the real deal with what Obama was inferring here. People are not stupid .

          * * * * * *

          END OF JULY 2008: Another Race Card play by Obama

          THEN Obama did it again at the end of July. Obama came out of no where to again pull the Race Card (although McCain learned from what Hillary had dealt with in the Primaries and after the 2nd time of Obama calling the Race Card, McCain called him on it - which the media ran with!!) :

          Obama and camp said that Barack, in no way, believes that the McCain campaign is using race as an issue. . .

          Then why did Obama say this: .They made a statement predicting that: McCain and company will try to scare voters by pointing out how HE DOES NOT LOOK LIKE ALL THOSE OTHER PRESIDENTS ON THE DOLLAR BILLS.

          Only thing different here is that after Obamas SECOND ATTEMPT at a subtle race-card attack, MCCAIN called Obama on it! Has anyone seen any more inferred race-card comments from Obama yet The answer: No!

          OKAY, folks. To get a handle on what is going on with these tactics of the Obama camp, it is well worth the read to get informed about what OBAMA did in his EARLY POLITICAL YEARS . . . how he was practicing Race-conscious tactics way back in his early political years. .

            The articles you've posted are editorials...opinions. We all have them. You know, what's with 'the race card' being villified, anyway? Obama is part black. We have never had a black person, only part black at that, in such a high position. Black people are supposed to be rappers or sports figures in this country, right? At least that's what a lot of people think. So yeah, it IS monumental and his race should be mentioned. I'm not so sure that equates playing the race card. I mean, if Hillary got the nomination, would she have been playing the gender card?

    The full court filings and claims can be found at.....ObamaCrimes.com...Berg's website. Philip J. Berg is the former Deputy Attorney General of Pennsylvania, former candidate for Govenor and US Senate in Democratic Primaries, former Chair of the Democratic Party in Montgomery County, and former member of the Democratic State Commitee.

    This filing comes less than two weeks after an AP photo was revealed of the school register of a child then known as Barry Soetoro, now known as Barack Hussein Obama, whose citizenship was listed as "Indonesian" and whose religion was listed as "Islam." the photo strongly contradicts the Obama camp's claim that he was not a Muslim, and is said to confirm he is a national of at least one other country. The AP has confirmed the authenticity of the photograph.

    GETTING GOOD...MSM will have to report this.

      Hey, Holy Roller

      Forget your absurd allegations. Deal with facts. Not alleged trumped up "facts", the truth, my man.

      What policies will Obama implement ? What does he stand for?? Will his health care policy benefit you? (Probably it will, if it includes mental health benefits). Why wouldbe against Obama when it is in your economic self-interest to be for him?

      Try to deal with intellectual rigor, Holy Roller, not conspiracy theories or you'll be living in your Moma's basemant forever.

      Frankly, if Obama WERE a foreign national (and he's not) -SO WHAT!!!

      Actually, ...maybe he came from the green side of the moon. Have you thoughtof that See, i have proof.......

      And - how absurd - he is not a Muslim but SO WHAT IF HE WERE? Is there a law against Muslims living in this country?? A law against Muslims holding office? The only problem with any candidate's religion is when they hold their religious beliefs above their allegiance to the law of the nation.

      Your logic is ILLOGIC and your tenacity in holding to your fixed delusional ideas of refence are pathetic .

      Get a job or get a life because if McCain wins you'll be further down the economic ladder than you are now..

        Also proof that racist hatred is alive and well in the US...which is why Obama's stance on opening the lines of communication to eradicate racism is so important. Anyone that says Obama isn't facing a harder time because of the color of his skin has their heads buried in the sand. If he were white and brought the same message, he'd be elected by a landslide. Race card? There is no race card, it's just the hard truth, and osamaobama just proves that point.

    Barack Obamas Poverty-stricken Half-Brother Surfaces in Kenya
    By Michael Saul
    Daily News Political Correspondent
    Thursday, August 21st 2008, 10:24 AM


    George Obama, Baracks half-brother, LIVES LIKE A RECLUSE IN A SHACK outside Nairobi.

    Barack Obama wants to live in the White House - but his youngest half-brother lives in the poorhouse.

    George Obama, one of the candidates seven living half-siblings, lives on pennies a month in a hut in Africa, the Italian edition of Vanity Fair revealed.

    No one knows who I am, George Obama, 26, told the magazine. I live like a recluse, no one knows I exist.

    He lives on the outskirts of Nairobi in a 65-square-foot shack decorated with posters of the Italian soccer clubs AC Milan and Inter, and a calendar of beaches.

    I live here on less than a dollar a month, he said.

    The younger Obama has a front-page newspaper photo of his famous brother, the Democratic candidate who lives in a $1.65 million restored Georgian mansion in Chicago.
    GEORGE OBAMA and BARACK OBAMA, 47, SHARE THE SAME FATHER, Barack Hussein Obama, who died in a 1982 car accident.

    A spokesman for Barack Obama declined repeated requests for comment yesterday.
    George Obama said he met his famous brother as 5-year-old, and again in 2006 when Obama toured East Africa and visited Nairobi. It was very brief - we spoke for just a few minutes, he said.

      There is no reason to assume that Obama knows what his youngest brother is doing or where he is -- the first and last time they met, George was a child. The brief meeting is recounted in his book. There are other Obama siblings in Kenya who are in a better position to help. You don't know why George Obama is living in a slum. He is not in contact with his mother, either. Why is that? Usually, when kids are not in contact with family, it is because they have chosen a lifestyle that is not consistent with the values of the family. Perhaps George is living a life he has chosen.

      NOW, what about those two sisters of Cindy Lou McCain? They're not half a world away. At least one of them lives in Phoenix, practically a neighbor, albeit, in circumstances considerably less lavish than the McCain complex which was featured in Architectural Digest. Cindy Lou won't even acknowledge her siblings, much less, offer them a helping hand. Repubican family values?

        We are talking about the candidate for POTUS...not his spouse...we can do that to if you like. I still think MicHELLe might need her C.O.L.B. checked. I'm not certain of her sex. Big boned don't cut it. And we all know Barry swings that way.

        Hussein runs on a platform of taking care of the poverty stricken...this is his own flesh and blood. YES he knows..he visited with him in 2006...while campaigning for his Christian massacring cousin..Odinga. I'll bet brother George could use a little CHANGE. He survives on less than a dollar a month.

        We will hear lots more of this. Vanity Fair went to Kenya and interviewed George. More fun and games from The False One.

        So...ignorance of the situation holds no water...Bottom line is...Hussein is a crook and a liar.

        NOBAMA!!!

          No, Doobie Roller, we don't know that because that hasn't been the case. You on the other hand blame Obama for being: Muslim, a Radical Christian, a Kenyan, a socialist, bisexual and everything else a wild conservative mind can find insulting. At the end of the day what do you have? Bupkis. Zero proof for anything. Nada. Nothing.

        You said: the first and last time they met, George was a child.

        Reality: Obama DID visit his fathers native country and town back in 2006 as a followup to the violence that was taking place when his cousin (Odinga) who was running for president down there and lost. Obama had much interest in the crisis going on down in Kenya cuz his cousin was in the middle of it so he went down there for a visit at which time GEORGE OBAMA, his half brother, an adult now, visited with him for a short time while he was down there. Did yu even read the article?

        Was that the same forum in which Warren said McCain was in a sound proof booth unable to listen to the questions being asked to Obama, only to find that McCain was in a car on his way to the forum, quite able to listen to the questions? Hmmm...

        • Posted By: loriw @ 08/25/2008 1:22:08 AM

          McCain and Rick Warren both stated that he did not hear the questions ahead of time. Warren would not lie to protect McCain and risk his reputation and the church he has built over his entire adult life on this.
          I watched the forum twice and in my opinion McCain did not know the exact questions. Both candidates were told ahead of time that there would be questions about the SCJ.

    If this article isn't a pile of elephant dung!. I don't think B. Hussein had any parents that were fit. He was deserted by his biological father who, apparently, was killed while driving drunk. The step-father apparently died from complications of alcoholism. His mother couldn't behave herself and left her child behind, as well, to chase around Indonesia. The only item in this story that I can believe is that he whined about fairness as a kid because he is still whining as a grown man. As far self-reliance, what about reliance on slum lords, terrorists, and rabid racists?

      Man, the McCain Campaign is in full force on here! lol That's what it's gotta be because there is no way the average American can be this stupid! lol Still bringing up the cocaine bit, c'mon people if you are already rich or just so ignorant that there is no possible way of a your brain coming up with something better then go vote for McBush. McCain has made it very clear from his past votes and his current policies that when it's all said and done you will either be rich or poor! The middle class will be gone because, if you haven't noticed, the country is becoming more divided than ever before. There will be the "have's" and the "have not's" because all of his policies do nothing but benefit people who are already rich. Over half of his advisor's are lobbiests for oil company's and his Financial Advisor is a lobbiest for the very bank's that are at the heart of the mortgage crisis. This is not brain surgery but apperantly there are a few distingushed few on here that just haven't got a clue or have nothing in common with the middle class of America. McCain can't do anything except lie his a** off in the hopes that people like you actually believe it and try to convince other's. I am an independant and have done my fair share of investigating into Obama and McCain. Each nominee has policies that are very clear as to who they will help and anyone who makes less than $250,000 a year should have a pretty good idea who they should be voting for. If you don't and you vote for McCain then you obviously have no idea what your doing and what the consequences will be. If you have any children under the age of 35 then you should think long and hard because McCain will be at war with everyone and the draft will be reinstated. Actually, you should just get a petition going to get Karl Rove put on the ballot so you can just skip the middle man and elect the actual weasel at the heart of it all in the Republican camp. Ya know, if you people would just quit watching the Fox News Channel it would allow your mind to clear up a little allowing for smarter decisions!

      Wrong, Obama started recruiting republican crossovers in states where they had to reregister as democrats in order to vote in the democratic primary - he called it "democrat for a day" to defeat HRC. He started it in 2007 in several states. Limbaugh didn't begin his Operation Chaos until 2008.

    Is the American fascist right wing so short of charismatic inspirational leadership that they need to have a 72 year old geriatric who forgets things and can't talk straight or pronounce straight run for President? God help this world If this hobo wins the election.

      Guess what Mantra ray....age is just a number. My father is the same age as McCain. He still works every day at the business he started after he "retired" from his job. Why does he still work...so he can pay for his toys...he just bought a Harley Davidson motorcycle and rides everywhere now. He races his small sailboat and when he can't sail and cycle...he takes ski trips to black diamond ski areas. Age is just a number!

        My father-in-law worked in my brother-in-law's business until he was 79, and did not have to. He retired quite comfortably. However, do you think POTUS has the same pressure levels as an executive like my father-in-law was or for your father? Let's give this a little bit of thought first.

          I think it is the individual himself who decides when he retires. As for accusations that McCain is senile...
          he ran circles around Obama in the forum I watched TWICE just to be sure I wasn't mistaken on what was said. If you didn't see it you missed it. Obama made a lot of statement that are going to come back to bite him including the one Zombiehero mentioned that determining when life begins is "above my pay grade" but yet he sat on a committee and stated that it is OK to allow a viable baby to die because he (Obama) doesn't want the abortionist to be "burdened" by having to make a phone call to another doctor who could provide care to that infant. So deciding DEATH is not above his pay grade!

      Manta ray -

      Is the American degenerate morally bankrupt obamabot campaign so short of charismatic inspirational competent leadership that it has to prop up an empty suit excuse for a presidential candidate with a 66 year old geriatric excuse for a VP candidate who is prone to talk on, and on, and on, and on, and say nothing meaningful?

    I found this article interesting. I am voting for McCain. I watched the forum at Saddleback, and that cemented my decision. Despite being 25 years older than Obama, McCain came across as more energetic. He also gave straight answers to questions while Obama equivocated. So, while I disagree with McCain's stand on many issues, I do know where he stands, and I respect that. McCain also has a history of bipartisanship. Obama, when asked about that, cited one instance, but when I researched it, it turned out he didn't really vote against his party on the issue he mentioned.

    All that being said, I think Obama is in many ways an admirable person. I think he's gone through his share of hard times and has overcome a lot. However, there are also negatives about him. His 20 year membership at Trinity raises questions for me, as does the deal with Rezko. And his vote against protecting born alive infants really bothers me. While I do believe abortion should be legal in many circumstances, I think late term abortions should be illegal unless the mother's life is in danger. Aborting a 7 or 8 or 9 month old baby - that's wrong. And not allowing an 7 month old baby that survives an abortion to receive care, but letting it die in a closet - that's evil. That was the testimony of Jill Stanek in the Illinois Born Alive case, and I could not understand how any one of compassion would not want to protect those babies. What was particularly bad for Obama - there were audio recordings of his testimony in the case.

    I think it's great for Newsweek and other magazines to provide positive insights into Obama, but they should be balanced and also give us the negatives, just like, with McCain, a balanced story will tell us not only about
    his willingness to cross party lines in the Senate, his courage in the Hanoi Hilton and his being right on a variety of issues, such as the surge, but it will also tell us some of the negatives, such as his divorce. By giving us balanced stories, the media can do it's job of keeping politicians, regardless of affiliation, honest.

      Excellent post!
      For those of you who have not read about Obama and his stance on refusing care for an infant born alive after a botched late term abortion, PLEASE, research and read for yourself.
      Obama supports infanticide.

      Good post, very insightful. May I add that for those who think its O.K. to use abortion as a method of birth control, there are far too many other methods available for this to ever be acceptable. It a life, and if you can be that cold hearted, then its only too bad your parents didn't feel the same. Not meant as a personal thing, just a general opinion of people who feel they can be so irresponsible. Agree, ssOhara, with your feelings on the subject.
