The Case for Barack Obama

Interesting article, but you???ll never heard about it in the MSM.
HUGO CHAVEZ, COLUMBIAN LEFTIST REBELS, OBAMA AND DEMOCRATS, AND ROGUE URANIUM IN S. AMERICA
Interpol confirmed the authenticity of Raúl Reyes's computer files. Reyes was a top commander of Colombia's left-wing guerrillas the Revolutionary Armed Forces of Colombia (Farc) killed during a Colombian military operation in Granada, Putumayo, on March 1, 2008.

Here is a partial list of what Colombian investigators found on the FARC terror leader's computer:
-- FARC connections with Ecuadorean president Rafael Correa -- Records of $300 million offerings from Hugo Chavez -- Thank you notes from Hugo Chavez dating back to 1992 -- Uranium purchasing records -- Admit to killing the sister of former President Cesar Gaviria -- Admit to planting a 2003 car bomb killing 36 at a Bogota upper crust club -- Directions on how to make a Dirty Bomb -- Information that led to the discovery of 60 pounds of uranium -- Letter to Libya's Moammar Gadhafi asking for cash to buy surface-to-air missiles -- Meetings with "gringos" about Barack Obama -- Information on Russian illegal arms dealer Viktor Bout who was later captured -- FARC funding Correa's campaign -- Cuban links to FARC -- Links to US Democrats -- $480,000 of FARC cash in Costa Rican safe house -- $100,000 to President Correa's campaign for election
And you can draw your own conclusions as to the importance of this passage that was allegedly found on the seized laptops, now confirmed authentic by Interpol:
"The gringos will ask for an appointment with the minister to solicit him to communicate to us his interest in discussing these topics. They say that the new president of their country will be Obama and that they are interested in your compatriots. Obama will not support "Plan Colombia" nor will he sign the TLC (Colombian Free Trade agreement). Here we responded that we are interested in relations with all governments in equality of conditions and that in the case of the US it is required a public pronouncement expressing their interest in talking with the FARC given their eternal war against us."

The tax cuts for 95% of Americans Obama is going to implement when he's President is for "Working" folks. You conservatives have got to be out of your mind to think the Government will just mail a check to the American people who don't work. You Republicans need to check your facts like John McCain and stop lying to the American people. You neocons will lie, cheat and steal to make sure you put a out of touch man like McCain in the White House. McCain lacks substance and Palin, She just doesn't have a clue. Check the polls on her and see for your self. McCain sounds like a stuck record at his rallies, Always saying what he is going to do, But never laying out a plan. The only Americans McCain is talking about are the ones on wallstreet. We need a President who's talking about the issues, And not just talking, Obama's plans are detailed. The Democrats time has come.

Obama???s Tax cut Illusion
The Wall Street Journal analyzes Barack Obama???s promise to cut taxes for 95% of Americans: Obama redefines tax cuts as tax credits and that results in a massive redistribution of taxpayer money.
Here is a list of Obama???s 7 proposed tax credits:
???- A $500 tax credit ($1,000 a couple) to ???make work pay??? that phases out at income of $75,000 for individuals and $150,000 per couple.
- A $4,000 tax credit for college tuition.
- A 10% mortgage interest tax credit (on top of the existing mortgage interest deduction and other housing subsidies).
- A ???savings??? tax credit of 50% up to $1,000.
- An expansion of the earned-income tax credit that would allow single workers to receive as much as $555 a year, up from $175 now, and give these workers up to $1,110 if they are paying child support.
- A child care credit of 50% up to $6,000 of expenses a year.
- A ???clean car??? tax credit of up to $7,000 on the purchase of certain vehicles.???
The clean car credit is the only tax credit that must offset actual money paid. The other 6 credits are ???refundable??? because they can be claimed even if you have no income-tax liability. These are income transfers intended to redistribute money from one American to another.
Thus, under Obama???s tax plan, millions of Americans will get government payments in excess of what they pay in taxes, making this a massive redistribution of income far beyond what welfare ever paid:
???The Tax Foundation estimates that under the Obama plan 63 million Americans, or 44% of all tax filers, would have no income tax liability and most of those would get a check from the IRS each year. The Heritage Foundation???s Center for Data Analysis estimates that by 2011, under the Obama plan, an additional 10 million filers would pay zero taxes while cashing checks from the IRS.
The total annual expenditures on refundable ???tax credits??? would rise over the next 10 years by $647 billion to $1.054 trillion, according to the Tax Policy Center. This means that the tax-credit welfare state would soon cost four times actual cash welfare. By redefining such income payments as ???tax credits,??? the Obama campaign also redefines them away as a tax share of GDP. Presto, the federal tax burden looks much smaller than it really is.

When listening to liberals like Obama and Biden one must be careful to listen for what they don???t say. The reason for this is liberals have a very difficult time talking directly to an issue. I think when you spread the wealth around, it???s good for everybody.??? Joe the Plumber had singlehandedly managed to get him to admit that his tax policy was designed to raise taxes on people earning over $250,000 for the purpose of redistributing it to those who didn???t ??? the classic definition of socialism. Liberals always seem to be looking over their mental shoulders or sniffing the political air.
Like the typical Liberal, their philosophy is to convince the public that they are sick, poor, down trodden, and generally worse off than they really are. And government is always the answer.

Excellent article - The whole world is closely watching and waiting for us to do the right thing. Lets be leaders again and we can start by voting for change. Barack is such a positive energy this world desperately needs.

Human. All Too Human. All these liberals worshipping the golden calf that they have dreamed up. Oh, Nietzsche will you turn out to be the prophet of the 21st century too?

With this week's piece, Mr Zakaria finally turns Newsweek's steamy love-affair with the Obama camp into a bona fide endorsement.
Not exactly an earth-shattering surprise, to be sure.
So now readers who do not worship Obama and his ultra-liberal minions will have to go look somewhere else for factual, non-partisan political coverage.

I'm sick of hearing about Joe the plumber. He was a McCain plant. Why else would he keep talking about him and apologizing to him. Joe the plumber shows up on Huckabee a show on fixed news, I wonder who he's in the tank for, How convenient. John McCain, his campaign and Joe the plumber are a JOKE!

With this week's piece, Mr. Zakaria ( coupled with Mr. Meacham's editorial ) finally turns Newsweek's steamy love-affair with the Obama camp into a bona fide endorsement.
Hardly a surprise, to be sure. I guess readers who do not worship Obama and his ultra-liberal minions will have to look elsewhere for factual, non-partisan political coverage.

There's nothing rational about Mr. Zakaria's article. It is just another biased piece of journalism from a prejudiced magazine trying to pass itself off as reasoned analysis. Too many excuses have been made for Sen. Barack Obama. There have been no criticism, no questions, no vetting, just alot of nice words from media who wish to impose their belief system on the American people instead of asking the tough questions that have needed to be asked. In all of his years of "public service," Senator Obama has rarely served anyone but himself. But the media has suspended all journalistic standards to help bolster a man with no record of legislative accomplishment, no record of bi-partisan outreach, no record of ever once standing up to his party or exhibiting political courage; a man with suspect connections that have never been questioned by the mainstream media even when he himself contradicts the public record on these events and alliances. Moreover, with his extreme fundraising advantage, if Obama wins in 15 days, will it be because he bought the election by violating his own campaign promise to accept public financing. In anyone???s book that would normally be considered ???cheating.??? John McCain did, in true form, accept public financing - apparently to his detriment, especially now as Sen. Obama has proved his lack of character once again. All of this, if the media were capable of being journalists first, they would be reporting on. I think the media need to take a good hard look at themselves now and after this election. You have abused your power and the American people will not soon forget it. Democracy cannot exist with such a biased media and the way the media have conducted themselves ??? democracy doesn???t stand much of a chance.

Mccain is out of touch with the new world....Times has change..and it is time for a change old things has pass away ...all things must be new...peace and love is ht emessage

After 9/11, the US government started rounding up Muslims without cause and without due process of law, like we did to the Japanese Americans in WWII. The Bush administration called it's main internment camp Guantanamo Bay. While there are certainly many guilty terrorists held in Guantanamo, there are also many innocent American citizens who have been held illegally for years without even being charged with any crime. They have been tortured by our government. Some of them have died.

Recently the Supreme Court ruled against the Bush administration in the matter of Guantanamo Bay. The Supreme Court Justices were NOT on the side of the terrorists. They were on the side of the Geneva Convention, that says you can not torture POWs, and on the side of US laws that state you can not imprison a person without charging them with a crime and bringing them to trial. I'm sure that like most Americans, the Justices who voted against the illegal, immoral doings at Guantanamo didn't feel sympathy for the terrorists. They felt sympathy for the laws of AMERICA, the land of the FREE, where even rat finks get a fair trial.

Meanwhile, back in Iraq, the Bush administration is busy trying to build a smokescreen to hide the CRIMES they have committed. Those pesky weapons of mass destruction. Just think, the National Debt went up over 6 trillion dollars under Bush. More than 2 trillion of it went directly into the pockets of Halliburton, a corporation owned by the Cheney family. Halliburton is now a DUBAI corporation and therefore is not subject to US taxes. All that money they took out of the US Treasury is going into the coffers of a MUSLIM country.

Did you hear about how the US government is being charged millions for Halliburton deliveries of sand into Iraq from Kuwait? Sand. Like there is a shortage of sand in Iraq? Another contractor shipped sand from Idaho to Iraq at our expense. Nobel prize winning economist Joseph Stiglitz discusses these and other excesses of our current government's out of control spending in Iraq.

Your grandchildren will be working like slaves to pay off this debt, so that the Bushes and Cheneys can live the high life in Dubai.

Yeah, they're patriots, Bush&Co. They wear flag pins. And hide the money they stole from America in Dubai.

And they want me to believe that Obama is a socialist. Right.

In case you think McCain is any different than Bush, watch this:
