I hate to say it ladies and gents, but if I had to make a choice between Hillary or Obama, I’d probably choose Hillary. Better the devil you know….
We all know Barack Hussein Obama (don’t give me crap about using his middle name–no one bitches about using Hillary RODHAM Clinton, do they now?) likes to talk about “hope” and “change”. This week, we started to hear (from his wife) some of the “changes” he wants to make.
But first, of course, we had to hear her spout her hatred of America in her now famous quote, courtesy of the AP on February 20, 2008 here:
In Milwaukee on Monday, Michelle Obama said: “Let me tell you, for the first time in my adult life, I am really proud of my country. Not just because Barack is doing well, but I think people are hungry for change.”
Of course, from the same source, we have Barack himself trying to backpedal and tell us what she REALLY “meant” (what IS the definition of “IS” again?):
Barack Obama, interviewed on WOAI radio in San Antonio, Texas, expressed frustration that his wife’s comments became political fodder.
“Statements like this are made and people try to take it out of context and make a great big deal out of it, and that isn’t at all what she meant,” Obama said.“What she meant was, this is the first time that she’s been proud of the politics of America,” he said. “Because she’s pretty cynical about the political process, and with good reason, and she’s not alone. But she has seen large numbers of people get involved in the process, and she’s encouraged.”
Don’t give me the racism crap–facts is facts. Another particular fact is both she and her husband have played the racism card for all it’s worth, but we’re not supposed to notice that.
A woman who ostensibly is eying the White House as her next address had damned well better be proud of this country and all it stands for and had better get over her “lack of pride” in it as well as her entitlement mentality damn quick. This is the internet babe–this isn’t (to quote an old commercial) your father’s news sources.
But wait–she went another step further a day or two later. We “right” thinking people are often accused of “Orwellian” actions and thoughts. However, any person with a brain knows when you are accused of something, most often the accuser is guilty of the actions he or she is accusing YOU of. Such is the case here, in another quote from Miss “I Can’t Stand My Country” Michelle, (from The Campaign Spot at the National Review Online here):
Barack Obama will require you to work. He is going to demand that you shed your cynicism. That you put down your divisions. That you come out of your isolation, that you move out of your comfort zones. That you push yourselves to be better. And that you engage. Barack will never allow you to go back to your lives as usual, uninvolved, uninformed.
and:
“You have to stay at the seat at the table of democracy with a man like Barack Obama not just on Tuesday but in a year from now, in four years from now, in eights years from now, you will have to be engaged.”
To further quote Jim Geraghty, same source above:
I’m sorry, nowhere in the Constitution does it authorize the President of the United States to demand anyone shed their cynicism. And I’m all for people pushing themselves to be better, but I don’t think the President demanding it is the way to go about it.
And what if we kind of like our lives as usual? What about Americans’ freedom to be uninvolved and uninformed?
and:
Ah. Apparently apathy will be criminalized, then?
Does anybody on the left side of the aisle find this rhetoric a little creepy? Isn’t this describing an authoritarian presidency way beyond anything George W. Bush has done or proposed?
Do the powers of the presidency really encompass everything Michelle says Obama wants and plans to do? Based on this rhetoric, isn’t he actually running for
messiah?
Who is truly “Orwellian”? Here’s a hint–it’s not the Republicans.
Let’s look at the “faith” issue.
The MSM made mincemeat out of Romney’s mormonism. Well, while I am uncomfortable with a lot of the tenets of mormonism, I would much rather have a mormon, someone with values, in the White House than a closet muslim AND a man who practices his particular brand of Christianity in a church based on racism against whites. In fact, a leading member happens to be Louis Farrakhan. The church believes in AFRICA first–NOT America. He and his family’s membership in this church is immediately suspect BECAUSE of that allegiance. He’s running for the AMERICAN presidency–not Africa’s. He’s running in a country PREDOMINANTLY white. So, he and his wife are going to throw all the whites under the bus? No, they haven’t come out and said so–however, it does leave one wondering. WHERE does his allegiance lie? The church–Trinity United Church of Christ–can be found here.
This doesn’t address his muslim ties, either. He can proclaim all he wants he isn’t muslim. I don’t buy it and I don’t believe it. He has strong familial ties to the current upheaval in Kenya through his cousin Odinga. His father is tied to the upheaval as well. The issue plain is not settled nor has it been investigated properly.
I WILL make one clarification for the ignoramuses out there–there are many who continue to state Obama is the one who wouldn’t swear into office on a Bible but chose to do so on the koran. This is false–it was Keith Ellison who insisted upon swearing into office on the koran. So those who think Obama exercised this inanity, get it right–it was Ellison.
Yeah, I went there.
So far, we have an America hating woman who has decided to be the black version of “Trailer Trash Hillary” although she would like to be “Camelot Jackie”. And she hates America so much she has decided to engage in full “Orwell” speak, hoping there are enough out there she can snow, by apparently mandating thought control during her husband’s messianic campaign and presidency. We have a man who refuses to be honest about his and his family’s muslim ties and who the MSM has chosen to ignore faithwise because it’s not “politically correct” to question either those ties or his connection to a racist church but it was fair game to go after a white mormon.
But wait Dick and Jane, there’s more!
Now, we see a report of part of a speech made by Obama in which he quotes an alleged Army Captain (as if he spoke with this source himself–it turns out it was third hand information) who only wishes to speak on conditions of anonymity:
[…] You know, I’ve heard from an Army captain who was the head of a rifle platoon – supposed to have 39 men in a rifle platoon. Ended up being sent to Afghanistan with 24 because 15 of those soldiers had been sent to Iraq.
And as a consequence, they didn’t have enough ammunition, they didn’t have enough humvees. They were actually capturing Taliban weapons, because it was easier to get Taliban weapons than it was for them to get properly equipped by our current commander in chief.
Now, that’s a consequence of bad judgment. And you know, the question is, on the critical issues that we face right now, who’s going to show the judgment to lead? […]
This quote comes from several sources, but I found it at A Newt One here. Granted, troops in theater often have to do without needed items–that’s been a fact in every war this country has ever fought and is not exclusive to the Bush administration. Further, I don’t think there has ever been an administration which has had to tolerate as much treason as this administration has had to tolerate. Obama speaks as if it’s once again “all Bush’s fault” when he seems to forget how much funding he and his fellow traitors refused the troops for necessary items. He definitely seems to forget he and his fellow traitors have done all they can to tie the hands of the president and imperil the troops. How convenient for him to forget.
Moving right along, let’s look at some of Obama’s friends and associates.
Jay at Stop the ACLU! has an excellent post here in which he describes Obama’s associates–radical, liberal and revolutionary associates. These associates were members–along with Obama–of the Weather Underground. A quote from Jay’s article:
Ayers and Dorhn are extremist radicals from the 1960’s anti-war terrorist group the Weather Underground, and they are unrepentant in the bombings they were a part of. They disappeared in 1970 after a bomb designed to kill army officers in New Jersey accidentally destroyed a Greenwich Village townhouse. They turned themselves over to authorities in 1980. While the Weather Underground claimed 25 bombings, these characters were never prosecuted.
Charges were dropped due to improper FBI surveillance.
Go read the full article.
Ladies and gentlemen, there are too many alarming things coming to light regarding this man and his wife. He truly is NOT what we need leading this country and I truly believe he would be much worse than Hillary. And I can’t stand Hillary.
The question is, when is the left going to wake up? When are they going to start educating themselves into the reality of their anointed messiah? This man and his wife are dangerous. If anything, they’re closer to prison cells than they should be to the White House.
He would endanger our country by refusing to acknowledge the enemy we face. He wants total control of your life and your thoughts. He has a rather shady past, a past which has (one way or another) formed his sympathy towards terrorists and extremists (the home grown kind). His wife hates America. He stands for racism of the worst sort.
Truly–wake up America. Come out of the drug induced haze and stupor and see where your idiocy is taking you. Oh, and my choice is NEITHER Hillary nor Obama–I’m voting a REAL American–John McCain.
