What a mess.
What a mess.
Obama's family tree is one place you start researching if there any questions you may have into how or what an Obama presidency will look like. Hugo Chavez may be close. The Castro brothers can only hope Obama makes it to the oval office. But for the direct relationship in how Obama will lead look at Raila Odinga and see what the CIA and FBI are worried about.

Obama-Farrakhan Ties Are Close, Ex-Farrakhan Aide Says
A former top deputy to Nation of Islam leader Louis Farrakhan tells Newsmax that Barack Obama???s ties to the black nationalist movement in Chicago run deep, and that for many years the two men have had ???an open line between them??? to discuss policy and strategy, either directly or through intermediaries.
???Remember that for years, if you were a politician in Chicago, you had to have some type of relationship with Louis Farrakhan. You had to. If you didn???t, you would be ostracized out of black Chicago,??? said Dr. Vibert White Jr., who spent most of his adult life as a member and ultimately top officer of the Nation of Islam.
White broke with the group in 1995 and is now a professor of African-American history at the University of Central Florida in Orlando.
White said Obama was ???part of the Chicago scene??? where Farrakhan, Jesse Jackson, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr. and radicals would go to each other???s events and support each other???s causes.
???Even though Chicago is the third-largest city in the country, within the black community, the political and militant nationalist community is very small. So it wouldn???t be uncommon for [Obama and Farrakhan] to show up at events together, or at least be there and communicate with each other,??? White told Newsmax.
The Anti-Defamation League has denounced Farrakhan and his Nation of Islam as a ???hate group.???
Farrakhan has called Jews ???bloodsuckers,??? ???satanic??? and accused them of running the slave trade. He has labeled gays as ???degenerates.??? In a 2006 speech, the ADL again condemned Farrakhan when he said: ???These false Jews promote the filth of Hollywood that is seeding the American people and the people of the world and bringing you down in moral strength. ??? It's the wicked Jews the false Jews that are promoting lesbianism, homosexuality. It's wicked Jews, false Jews that make it a crime for you to preach the word of God, then they call you homophobic!"
THE GREAT BUSH DEPRESSION
I follow an economist named Bob Proctor. He has called the top and bottom of every market crash since the 70s correctly.
He perfectly predicted the current meltdown and the picture he paints about what will happen next
is terrifying.He thinks it will be worse then the great depression.
The banks in the U.S. are going under one after the other. Countrywide ,Bear Stearns, Lehman Brothers and Merrill Lynch , Fanny and Freddy Mae ,AIG
The government took them over because they are bankrupt. Even with the goverment nationalizing hundreds of billions of dollars in debt the stock market is crashing
the credit markets are frozen and all of us may suffer beyond anything seen in generations
McCain just like Bush " doesn't understand the economy".
That not just my opinion its his own words. Not only does he not understand how to fix it but he does not understand how its been broken.
It is no surprise that he doesn't. The people that make up these securities use quantum mathematical models very few people understand.
Bush and McCain both can take the credit for this mess since they helped deregulate the laws that were protecting us.
Bush's economic advisor Phil Graham wrote the deregulation bill that allowed banks to take huge risks with all of our future.
Now, Phil Graham is the head of McCain's economic policy.He is also McCain's choice for the next secretary of the treasury.
No one in this country can afford for that to happen. The last time Bush met with his economic advisors was in March. He was the last to know somthing was wrong. Phil Graham had the guts to say that we are in a mental recession after he helped create the worst economy meltdown in our lifetime. Check out this link to the truth http://my.barackobama.com/keatingvideo
It will take the best and brightest minds in the world to get us out of this nightmare. As bad as Bush has done, McCain would be
even more destructive because things are in much worse shape. The next president will not inherit a budget surplus like Bush did but a crashing economy and a 11,600,000,000,000 (trillion) dollars deficit. Most of it Bush created and it will take decades to pay it back.
If you do what you have always done then you will get what you have always got.
When it comes to policy Bush and McCain are the same 90 percent of the time.
So why are the polls even close then ?
Mccains team just said they no longer want to talk about the economy.Instead they would like to spend time talking about obama
which means running the biggest smear campaign in history.
They think they can just tell you lies and you wont be smart enough to see through it
Let's teach him we are smarter than that
Stand up and hold them accountable
Bush isn't on the ballot this year but his policies are
Elect Obama Biden 2008

This is to NINS and others. I have heard and have read that Obama will move to have the 2nd Amendment abollished! I really hope he doesn't try that. To millions of hard working law abiding citizens that will be the straw that breaks the Camel's back
To all you liberal panty waste geniunes, I hope you all understand that the 2nd. Amendment is part of our Constitution. A Constitution written by our forefathers and for whom MANY have died protecting! It is not your personal playtoy. It is not up to any politician but only the majority of people in this country to change the Constitution!!!
If you try to remove any part of our Constitution you will find out why people gave their lives to defend the Constitution!!!!
This country doesn't need another cival war, but if you try to change my constitution or think you will come and take my guns, you better think again!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
MAAAAAAAAAAN, we will make sure to send the SHERIFF's over to your house, LIKE BUSH DID TO WILLIAM COOPER... You can come quietly (after reading some of your comments, please do) or be carried OUT...

I think both of you do not believe that the US is in a fight for it's safety and that of the citizenry. You are obviously two of the Bush Bashers that I deplore. Give the man a break.
and start getting better informed about world events and watch/listen to more than NBC.
I have to disagree on a fine point here...it isn't that Bush didn't "understand the economy"...He understood all too well...He, W, drove this nation into the same ditch his father left us in when we voted him out fo office in 1991, w the same tools/policies his father used, w/ the exception of the added strain on pocket book issues of the surge in the price of oil - and I don't believe market speculators had the influence that they're thought to have had, I would cast a more questioning glance at the closed door meetings Cheney had w/ the oil industry in 2003 ...The difference is:W put his fathers policies on steriods, gunned the engine and drove the car off the cliff....something his father couldn't acheive...The poor failure finally succeeded at something he put his mind to...ruining the United States - financially, internationally re; world opinion, economically re home foreclosures, record losses of jobs, psychologically re; the inabiltiy of Americans to see other Americans as fellow countrymen, citizens all, patriots all... This is why W was not allowed to lose the election in 2000..."I'm a uniter, not a divider " what a line...And the republicans called Clinton a lier? For those of you who've supported this filthy criminal, you're getting the F***ing you so richly deserve, the rest of us however didn't deserve it, the soldiers who've died and lost limbs in Iraq didn't deserve it, the elderly who've lost retirement savings didn't deserve it, the innocent people of New Orleans didn't deserve it, the financial trust the world had in the U.S. for latter half of the last century you trashed in less than a decade... the good will that the country had from the world after 9/11 didn't deserve to be s**t on as this filthy criminal has done...
Congratulations W; MAY YOU BE HOUNDED UNLIKE ANYTHING CLINTON EVER SAW AND MAY YOU NEVER BE FORGIVEN FOR IT..YOU SELF RIGHTEOUS, SELF SERVING CRIMINAL...41/43, Like father like son, the s**t doesn't fall far from the toilet
What is most troubling in todays political climate is the promotion of hatred as a philosophy. The emergence of an ultraconservative dogma relies increasingly on the encouragement of mass hostility aimed at one group in particular - Americans with progressive political views. Liberals are spoken of with the kind of dripping contempt and virulent hostility that used to be associated with racism and sectarian religious strife. Liberals are viewed not as fellow Americans citizens concerned with the future of their country, but as ideological enemies that need to be destroyed - and eaten if possible. This view is fundamentally anti-American.
This right-wing sect manifests a complete lack of empathy toward other Americans whom it defines as its ideological enemies. Its core beliefs are absolutely impervious to reason and are unleashing ugly and violent impulses. What makes their zeal so dangerous for our country is their willingness to do serious damage to our precious American Democracy in their quest for absolute power.

With this little diatribe, we learn much more about the hate of the writer than about anyone on the Right.
If they weren't so dead on I'd agree.
Just look at the following post for where the hate is. You people on the left are nasty. I'm glad I live in a red state and don't have you next door.

Get a grip darren, you people brought it on yourselves....
Oh please I have read more liberal remarks on these posts that declare essentially that anyone in the republican party or not voting for Obama is racist,full of hate or as Mr Obama calls it,bitter.Why is it when you people are declaring anyone on the other side of the issue dark and evil,you are a shining beacon of light trying to throw back the darkness.I have never seen a more nasty hypocritical bunch of people in my life.I think the liberals will be the ones to ultimately legislate us into total control of society and oh by the way here is your bar code and tracking chip.NO Thanks
Wedydk - I'm not sure what reality you reside in - I'm guessing somewhere in the upper east side of Manhattan - , but you apparently haven't been paying attention to anything outside of MSNBC and NPR. It's liberals that shout down supreme court justices on campuses, and have emotionally imbalanced melt downs on their colleagues on cetain news networks, and create fake stories about people yelling death to Obama at rallies, and refuse to go on a network that isn't in bed with them. You people are the worst type of Machiavellian hypocrites or just completely delusional. Are conservatives talking about passing laws to take Air America off the air? Or MSNBC? or CNN? No - Hello. We don't need to. The market ignores most of this pablum on its own. It's the touch-feely liberals that want the fairness doctrine to avoid the great unfairness of calling their pitiful excuse for leadership out on the air and letting people know where liberal leaders are misguided and off base.
To all of the conservatives out there who think that Obama is a flaming liberal, I would like to remind you of what he did when he was elected President of the Harvard Law Review. The Law Review President gets to name ten individuals to write articles for the Review, and these ten people get to control the content of the publication. All of the minorities and the liberals thought they finally had it made, that Obama would appoint ten left wing editors. Instead, Obama appointed three conservatives, three liberals and four moderates. That year the Law Review was critically acclaimed as the best run and best written Harvard publication in decades.
So when he wins in November, conservatives don't have to freak out. Obama is a centrist and will appoint a balanced cabinet full of active people who will really get things done. Kind of like the way our multi-cultural society is supposed to be. And exactly what we need in this time of economic crisis.
Honestly, looking at McCain and Obama objectively (without any party affiliation or any racism) I really can't see why anybody would vote for McCain. Obama has offered a much more coherent plan to get America out of the economic disaster we are in.
Right now, most people are anxious about the economy, fearing the worst but hoping for the best.
Reality check: within 18 months YOU could be standing in a bread line. That's how bad it really is. And Obama will work actively to prevent this short term, as well as make us strong again long term. As much as I like McCain and admire his patriotism, he really is not up for the job, not now with the global markets falling apart.

Here's an excellent video about the economy:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5d4a6RNhCUo
ABC Reports that in a conservative radio interview that aired in Washington, D.C. Friday morning, Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin said her First Amendment rights are threatened by reporters suggesting she is engaging in a negative campaigning against Barack Obama.
Palin told WMAL-AM that for reporters or columnists to suggest that she is going negative constitutes an attack on her free speech rights under the Constitution, saying -If the media convince enough voters that this is negative campaigning, for me to call Barack Obama out on his associations, then I don't know what the future of our country would be in terms of First Amendment rights and our ability to ask questions without fear of attacks by the mainstream media.-
If I hadnt heard her butcher the Constitution numerous times already, I might not have believed it!
The Constitutional protection of free speech is about protection under the law - a person can not be arrested because of the content of their speech.
Ridicule by the press, or anyone else, however, is entirely fair game.
Really, Sarah - playing the victim is all well and good, but try reading the Constitution - and better yet, understanding it - before you try to hide behind it.
This woman is really too, too sad.
I know this whole discussion is a little nuansed for you left-wing "intellectuals", but what Palin is talking about is having a media that acts as an attack dog against anyone who speaks out against a candidate is effectively or literally erasing the impact of inquiries into this weird man that the left is so excited to make president. The New York media has bombarded the country with messages about Palin and acted as an active counter to questions about Barry'O's connections with terrorists, anti-semites and marxists. PLEASE, FOR THE LOVE OF PETE. YOU CRAZY LIBERALS THINK GEORGE BUSH TOOK AWAY THE DIXIE CHICKS' FREEDOM OF SPEECH BECAUSE HE DIDN'T ORDER EVERYONE TO BUY THEIR ALBUMS DESPITE THEIR INSULTS TO THEIR CUSTOMERS. THEN YOU ALL JOINED HANDS AND GAVE THEM A PILE OF GRAMMYS IN THANKS FOR THEIR SUFFERING. BUT WHEN THE NETWORK AND PRINT MEDIA COMBINE TO QUASH A POLITICAL CANDIDATE FOR V.P. YOU THINK THAT'S JUST GREAT. YOU PEOPLE ARE PUNY IN YOUR ABILITY TO SEE HOW HYPOCRITICAL YOU ARE ABOUT FREE SPEECH. ROSIE HAD HERS TAKEN AWAY? BECAUSE NOBODY WANTED TO WATCH HER SHOW ANYMORE AFTER THEY FOUND OUT SHE WAS CRAZY AND DIDN'T THINK STEEL MELTS? REALLY ROSIE - ASK AN ARCHITECT. I DID. HE LAUGHED AT HER INSANE ASSERTION THAT STEEL HAS NEVER MELTED IN A BUILDING ON FIRE. IT MELTS ALL THE TIME. ANY IDOT KNOW THIS. ASK A FIRE FIGHTER FOR CRYING OUT LOUD. I FIND THE LEFT VERY SAD IN ITS ULTIMATE AND ABIDING FAITH IN THEIR POLITICS WHICH ARE MOSTLY BASED ON LIES.
Why is it ok to have Rush Limbaugh and other ultra-right media spew their innuendo and verbal hate speech at liberals, but when it's a conservative's turn to be roasted, somehow that's a violation of free speech?
Live by hate speech, die by hate speech. Palin doesn't get to have it both ways.
There is no nuance here, and there is no violation of the first amendment - this is simply a case of what goes around, comes around.
And if Sarah Palin can't stand the heat and the criticism, time to get out of the political kitchen

C. MacLean,
You took the words right out of my mouth....especiall the part about if Diva Sarah can't stand the political heat get out of the campaign kitchen!! ...and this politically/intellectually shallow moron thinks she's ready to command the second highest office in the land? Get a grip woman!!
Well, if Gonzo and the DOJ are any example, the first thing whoever is elected should do is purge those people from ALL government agencies who believe that they work for Bush and the Republicans rather than for the American people.
That is something that I doubt McCain would do.
Election day is almost here and I for one am relieved. This "War of the World" campaign has gone on long enough, and all the praying and back stabbing is not going to help. The final vote is in the hands of the American people come Tuesday and only "God" knows the final answer. I only hope it is the right one for all of us. God bless America and whomever will be the next president.
The CIA could probably use a little tweaking, but the important change should be to dismantle the Department of Homeland Security.
It is cumbersome, redundant, and inefficient, and along with Bush's other major legislative effort, No Child Left Behind, does nothing it was intended to do.
The individual agencies that were combined to form DHS did a much better job when they were more autonomous, FEMA being a prime example - will we ever forget the horrors of Katrina?
No, leave the CIA alone - there are more important government bureaucracies to dismantle.
Here here, I couldn't agree more...For that matter everything W instituted should be taken out and thrown on a bon fire...call it Bonfire of the Incompetancies...
History:
McCain follows in the footsteps of Barry Goldwater, former Arizona Senator (1953).
"Barry Goldwater was a five-term United States Senator from Arizona (1953???1965, 1969???1987) and the Republican Party's nominee for President in the 1964 election. He was also a Major General in the U.S. Air Force Reserve. He was frequently referred to as 'Mr. Conservative in numerous media articles." wikipedia.org

Someone needs to be held accountable for Iraq. Bush will pardon everyone in his administration except for Powell. That only leaves the CIA.

Hosenball probably does not need to dwell on what destroyed the CIA to begin with.
The Democrats.Who provided the last ''chainsaw''. The ''Good Shepard''period of the Agency was wrecked by the Church[D-Id] Committee Hearings and throughly emasculated by the time Adm.Stansfield Turner was put in charge by Jimmy Carter,whose incredible blunder at the time was to fail to forsee the rise of militant Iran,Russian improvements in nuclear submarine technology as developed by Soviet Adm. Gorshkov ,and the march of jihadist Islam. Obviously,Reagans Iran/Contra caused ever further mistrust among the Democrat majority in Congress that they wrecked it even further,with droves of veteran agents leaving the CIA in disgust. The fact that Americans were forced to witness a squabble over a blond bimbo working for the Agency in something less than an OSS role and the Bush administration displays how low the Agency has fallen.

I love how wendydk says that the conservative philosophy is hate. wendydk, please pay attention to the post by ObamaYesWeCan - Is this the hate you are talking about? Is breaking Joe the Plumbers legs your idea of progressive passive philosophy. How about Sarah Palin's roasting? Is that inspired by progressive love? Here's ObamaYesWeCan's post of love and harmony.

Comment: This moronic scumbag Samuel J. Wurzelbacher "Joe the Plumber" had his AZ driver license suspended
http://www.eastvalleytribune.com/story/128323
Wurzelbacher, who lived in Mesa in 2000 and had an Arizona driver's license, had his driver's license suspended by the Arizona Department of Transportation Motor Vehicle Division on May 4, 2000, following a nonpayment of a court-imposed fine for civil traffic violations, according to court records.
...owes nearly $1,200 in back taxes, according to public records, still owes more than $700 to the Mesa court system.
Records show he was cited for failure to stop at a red light and for failure to provide proof of insurance on Feb. 9, 2000, in a black Dodge truck at the intersection of Dobson and Baseline roads in Mesa.
After failing to pay his original fine of $627.50 issued in March 2000, his license was suspended and the fine was handed over to a collection agency along with a 16 percent surcharge. The now-resident of Holland, Ohio, still owes $727.90 to the Mesa Municipal Court, according to court records.
Hopefully the collection agency will break both of his legs so he'll never be able to walk nor work ever again. This typical Republican scumbag deserves it.
