All we hear from Obama is how he is going to bring change to Washington. We hear vague details on raising taxes on the rich, universal health care, pulling out of Iraq by a deadline, whether or not the job is done, and change.
Obama is a joke. Nothing in his candidacy has any substance. He goes on this "Foreign Experience" field trip where he only shook hands with troops when cameras were rolling. He refused to visit injured/wounded soldiers in Germany because there was no way he could turn it into a campaign stop.
He preaches about change, yet he offers absolutely ZERO substance. He has no leadership experience. He can't even run a decent campaign. He is in NO way, whatsoever qualified to run a mom and pop shop, much less the United States.
During his field trip, he spoke to 200,000 Germans. He told these Germans, who have all the basic earmarks of a socialist society, that he was just like them, believed the way they believed, and wanted the United States to be more like them. I am, of course, paraphrasing and interpreting, as even he is not dumb enough to say it in that manner. However, he related well to the socialist-esque Germans...that same psuedo-ally German country that won't support us in the war against Terror.
Coming home from the field trip, Obama was stunned there was very little bounce in his poll ratings. So, what can he do to regain his ever-slimming lead? Play the ultimate trump card.
THE VAUNTED RACE CARD!!!!!
He commented that Republicans are going to use fear tactics. The kicker of the diatribe was that he pointed out that Republicans were going to try to scare American voters because he doesn't look like the other Presidents. Obviously, this was not a comment on the wigs worn by the likes of George Washington, or the stove pipe hat of Lincoln. No, no, no! This was a direct comment about the fact that Obama is...GASP!...black!
Let me say this. Despite what Jeremiah Wright or Ludacris or any African-American celebrity or leader might say or imply, not voting for Obama is NOT racism.
If you do not vote for Obama, it does not mean that you are a racist. No matter what you might be led to believe. I don't care what anyone says, an Obama loss in November is not a win for racism.
I would say in upwards of 75%, or higher, of American voters would not think twice about a candidate's race. There are very few people, overall, who would actually not vote for someone due to race.
There is going to be an African-American president sometime in the near future. I just do not think this candidate is qualified to do so. Just because he is black does not mean he should be the first black president. You would think that blacks would want their first crack at running the White House to be successful.
I would hate to think that someone like Condi Rice, or any truly qualified African-American person, would have their chances hurt by a electing Obama. Obama is being portrayed the the Great Hope for black people. Sadly, his colossal failure as President could set-back the entire race on many levels.
I am not a racist. I would have no problem with Obama if he were qualified. I would have the same reservations about a white, Hispanic, Asian, Polynesian, or other ethnicity candidate if they were as underqualified.
It says a lot that the only people pointing out Obama's race are people on Obama's side. Its almost as if they are trying to guilt Americans into voting for him. This is not a popularity contest that guilt or charity votes should be solicited.
This is the race for the White House. This is the contest for the highest office on Earth. It should be won on substance and character, not by pointing out that the candidate is black, and that is the only reason you should vote for him.

See...I told you!!!
It is amazing.
George W. Bush announces that he will remove the Executive moritorium on the oil shales in the western United States, and suddenly gas prices are dropping.
Just off the announcement!
Imagine what would happen if we announced today that the rigs were en route to the continental shelf?
Imagine what would happen if we announced that ANWR was going to be utilized?
If there are ANY doubts that the drilling of our own oil will lower gas prices left, then you must work for the Obama campaign.

Obama-nation
Barack Hussein Obama decided to pre-emptively trump future claims of his inexperience in foreign affairs with at trip to the middle east.
His trip was nothing more than a glorified photo op. That didn't matter. Katie Couric, Brian Williams, and the other A-List media personnell that came along for the ride didn't care about substance on the trip. Heck, they have not asked for substance since he came on the scene. All he had to do is walk tall, look presidential, and NOT SCREW UP! You can see his aides clinging to his calves like a 2-year-old to mommy, except they were trying to weigh down his legs so his foot could not make it to his mouth during this trip.
Their efforts were in vain.
Obama's first gaff came when he left the bases in Iraq, Kuwait, and Afghanistan. He mentioned that a majority of the TV's were set to Fox News Channel. He made no reservations about implying that it was a Presidential Mandate from George W. Bush himself. He tried to make it an issue that the troops were forced to watch FNC, right up until someone kicked him and said, "Sir, they have a choice!"
That's not too big a deal. Just shows how much of a wuss this guy is as he cries foul to the media everytime there is something he doesn't like. Big woop.
Then, while in Germany, he skips out on visiting the injured soldiers. He claims that he didn't want it to be a politicized issue. He didn't want to appear to be making political gains while in the hospital. Of course, after the Pentagon approved the visit but said that it was not to be in anyway a campaign stop, but a visit, Obama decided not to go.
I am SURE it had nothing to do with the fact that no cameras or media were allowed. It had absolutely nothing to do with the impossibility of a media photo op. I am certain of that! (Sarcasm coming through alright??)
Obama showed why he is the liberal elite's choice. He will not do anything unless it can benefit him. He is not about the troops. They are beneath him. They are dumb, gun-toting hicks employed by a Texas oil man who starts wars for no reason. That is what Obama thinks. They are bitter rednecks clinging to gus and religion, right?
It is a shame that Obama could not go and say "Thank you" to these wounded soldiers. It is sad. It shows what kind of 'man' this jerk is.

The Difference Between Liberal and Conservative and The Slant of the AP
Within a 30-day span, America got to see the truth about Liberals and how drastically different Liberalism is from Conservatism.
On June 13, 2008, Tim Russert, a good, well-respected, hard-working, popular JOURNALIST died suddenly. It sent shockwaves throughout the world. Everyone who even remotely follows current events knew who Russert was, and, most likely, respected, if not liked, this JOURNALIST. (Journalist capitalized because Russert was one of the very few members of the NBC News bureau that was truly a Journalist and not a liberally-biased hack).
Russert's death was reported with humility, respect, and reverence. His memory and his legacy were upheld without equivocation. His life, work, family, and career were all celebrated and commended.
All of the mourning and celebration of Russert's life were well founded and appropriate. Russert did not let his political views determine his reporting. He reported down the middle and told the truth as best he could, in my opinion. He was truly one of the greats.
Fast-forward one month. Tony Snow, a likeable, hard-working, decent, honest man and JOURNALIST dies after a 4+ year battle with cancer. While Snow was not of the legendary status of Russert, Snow was a very accomplished journalist. He reported the news while in the media. As White House Press Secretary, he did not let the media bullies of the White House Press Corps intimidate him.
He was a fun, intelligent, strong man who did not take attacks as a journalist or Press Secretary to heart. He had a thick skin and a warm heart. He also had the will and backbone of legend. He fought to the end.
Yet, the AP uses their obituary to take pot-shots at Tony Snow. Instead of paying respects to the man, they question his integrity, intelligence, honesty, and ability to understand and report facts.
In the obituary, the 5th and 6th paragraphs come across as very snide and disrespectful to the man.
Cancer claims ex-Bush press secretary Tony Snow
by Douglass K. Daniel (AP Writer)
Playing to the cameras? He didn't have "a command of the facts?" The man is not yet buried and the AP uses their power as another way to cut down someone who has Conservative tendancies.
This truly defines Liberalism. They SAY they are compassionate. They SAY they care about people. They SAY they are the truely good people, while the mean, money-hungry conservatives are the jerks putting them out of work. They SAY they are for freedom and equality and freedom of speech, yet they cut down and attack everyone that has a different opinion or outlook.
The LA Times is just as bad. While their writers did not attack or question Snow, they certainly allowed their MODERATED comments board to fill with smut and trash and the type of vileness that has come to define the Democratic party.
Here is a link to Patterico's Pontifications a website that shows the types of comments allowed by the moderators, who pre-approve all posted comments. In addition, I have borrowed a couple below.
It is sad. Not one person said an ill word about Russert, and rightfully so. Yet, because he worked for Fox News and President Bush and was a conservative, Tony Snow is insulted and his memory and legacy attacked by hate-mongers.

Snow was working for Fox News Channel and Fox News Radio when he replaced Scott McClellan as press secretary in May 2006 during a White House shake-up. Unlike McClellan, who came to define caution and bland delivery from the White House podium, Snow was never shy about playing to the cameras.
With a quick-from-the-lip repartee, broadcaster's good looks and a relentlessly bright outlook - if not always a command of the facts - he became a popular figure around the country to the delight of his White House bosses.

I hope the rest of these criminals die too. Good riddance to a person who contributed to making this world a worse place.

Its unfortunate he won’t be able to see the damage he helped inflict on this country and the world. I wonder how he likes hell.
Posted by: tedson | July 12, 2008 at 06:27 AM
There is special place in hell for Mr. Snow. As a co-conspirator of the Bush administration, I have no special sympathy for him. I only wish his suffering were more prolonged.

guess now we know that lying causes cancer.
Posted by: Star Mingus | July 12, 2008 at 09:35 AM
The question begs to be asked, is it possible to die when you don’t have a soul.
Posted by: Chad | July 12, 2008 at 09:38 AM
good riddance

the world is now a slightly better place
Posted by: gundumma | July 12, 2008 at 01:37 PM
I prefer to give tribute to the many fathers, mothers, sisters, and brothers of the hundreds of thousands of innocent Iraqi civilians that were killed all because Mr. Snow continued to perpetuate the lies of the Bush Administration. May THEY rest in peace.
The worst lies are indeed the ones we tell ourselves. May Tony Snow get the eternity he truly deserves….
