The true story of Obama in 80 words and pictures

Your choice.

You might want to think of these.

Quote of the Day

"You have to pinch yourself – a Marxist radical who all his life
has been mentored by, sat at the feet of, worshipped with, befriended,
endorsed the philosophy of, funded and been in turn funded, politically
promoted and supported by a nexus comprising black power anti-white
racists, Jew-haters, unrepentant former terrorists and Chicago mobsters,
is on the verge of becoming President of the United States.

And it's considered impolite to say so!"
- Melanie Philips, The Spectator ( UK ) 10/14/08

Hat tip to Grant M!

Obama defined himself in 2001

We have had Joe the Plumber being told by Hussein that he wants to spread the wealth around.

Now we have an interview that Hussein gave eight years ago that is much more damning, yet no one in the press found it, and even though it is more damning, it will get no play in the MSM.

From the interview:

You know, if you look at the victories and failures of the civil-rights movement, and its litigation strategy in the court, I think where it succeeded was to vest formal rights in previously dispossessed peoples. So that I would now have the right to vote, I would now be able to sit at a lunch counter and order and as long as I could pay for it, I’d be okay, but the Supreme Court never entered into the issues of redistribution of wealth, and sort of more basic issues of political and economic justice in this society.

And uh, to that extent, as radical as I think people tried to characterize the Warren Court, it wasn’t that radical. It didn’t break free from the essential constraints that were placed by the Founding Fathers in the Constitution — at least as it’s been interpreted, and Warren Court interpreted it in the same way, that generally the Constitution is a charter of negative liberties: [It] says what the states can’t do to you, says what the federal government can’t do to you, but it doesn’t say what the federal government or the state government must do on your behalf.

And that hasn’t shifted, and one of the, I think, the tragedies of the civil-rights movement was because the civil-rights movement became so court-focused, uh, I think that there was a tendency to lose track of the political and community organizing and activities on the ground that are able to put together the actual coalitions of power through which you bring about redistributive change. And in some ways we still suffer from that.

A caller then helpfully asks: “The gentleman made the point that the Warren Court wasn’t terribly radical. My question is (with economic changes)… my question is, is it too late for that kind of reparative work, economically, and is that the appropriate place for reparative economic work to change place?”
Obama replies:

You know, I’m not optimistic about bringing about major redistributive change through the courts. The institution just isn’t structured that way. [snip] You start getting into all sorts of separation of powers issues, you know, in terms of the court monitoring or engaging in a process that essentially is administrative and takes a lot of time. You know, the court is just not very good at it, and politically, it’s just very hard to legitimize opinions from the court in that regard.

So I think that, although you can craft theoretical justifications for it, legally, you know, I think any three of us sitting here could come up with a rationale for bringing about economic change through the courts.”

That's very plain folks.

And the fact is that Hussein would have the chance to appoint at leats two SC Justices.

Yes we have no two budweisers

Hello chums, and I hope you are all well and happy and have your savings in cash and stuffed under, or better yet, in your mattress.

How I know the economy has been too good.

A bit ago I decided to leave my hotel room, pick up two beers, grab some Italian takeout from Fazzoli's and catch a movie in the room...

So I stopped at a QuickiMart type joint and grabbed two Buds, and took them to the counter.

Clerk gives me the fish eye and says, "What's those?"

Me, thinking one of us is stupid. "Two Buds."

Clerk. "Don't you know we can only sell six packs?"

Me. "You're BSing me, right?"

Clerk. "No. Aren't you in here every night?"

Me. "I have never been here before."

Clerk. "Are you sure?"

Me, with a rapidly changing attitude. "Yeah. I'm sure. And why would I lie?"

Clerk. "OK."

Me. "You gonna sell me the two Buds or what?"

Clerk. "No. We can't sell any loose cans."

Me. "Not that I give a shit, but can you tell me why?"

Clerk. "It messes up the inventory."

Me. "You can't count 30 six packs and 4 cans?"

Clerk. "Yeah, but it messes up the inventory."

Me. "Keep the beer."

So I went down the street and found a liquor store and bought two small bottles of Turning Leaf.... The food was good, the wine was okay and I hope the QuickiMart goes broke.

I am starting to wonder...is Obama native born?

Indeed. Why?

You know, when all the "Hussein wasn't born in the US" stuff first came out, I just dismissed it.

Then when I read a Hillary supporter's blog for a bit I started to wonder...

And when the PA Democrat filed the suit I said... is this guy a nut, or what?

Now we have this to consider.

HONOLULU, Hawaii – Although the legitimacy of Sen. Barack Obama's birth certificate has become a focus of intense speculation – and even several lawsuits – WND has learned that Hawaii's Gov. Linda Lingle has placed the candidate's birth certificate under seal, and instructed the state's Department of Health to make sure no one in the press obtains access to the original document under any circumstances.

I mean what's the deal? Why doesn't Hussein just pick up the phone and have it released?? I mean if he did it would:

1. Make those who claim he wasn't born here look like fools.

2. Make people like me who are queasy about him feel better.

3. Appease a lot of people he will need to have happy with him should he be elected...

I mean it would be a total win-win.

Yet he doesn't. And this from a man who people call super intelligent with great judgment.

And then we have this:

In Kenya, WND was told by government authorities that all documents concerning Obama were under seal until after the U.S. presidential election on November 4.

Why?? Why if there isn't information there that says he was born there.

In a startling development, Obama's Kenyan grandmother has reportedly alleged she witnessed Obama's birth at the Coast Provincial Hospital in Mombasa, Kenya.

What happens if he is elected and then it is proven that he wasn't native born? The country would be in turmoil and Biden would become President elect because Hussein wouldn't be qualified, plus he would be guilty of fraud which clearly falls under the high crimes and misdemeanors standard for impeachment.

Tell me why any Jew would vote for Obama

I think this Link says it all.

LA Times writer Peter Wallsten wrote about Barack Obama's close association with former Palestinian operative Rashid Khalidi back in April.

Wallsten discussed a dinner held back in 2003 in honor of Khalidi, a critic of Israel and advocate for Palestinian rights.

Barack Obama has denied his close association with Khalidi, too.

According to Wallsten the evening not surprisingly turned into a classic Jew-bash:


"During the dinner a young Palestinian American recited a poem accusing the Israeli government of terrorism in its treatment of Palestinians and sharply criticizing U.S. support of Israel. If Palestinians cannot secure their own land, she said, "then you will never see a day of peace."

One speaker likened "Zionist settlers on the West Bank" to Osama bin Laden, saying both had been "blinded by ideology."

Barack Obama also praised the former PLO operative during the event.
And, Obama confessed that his family often shared dinner with the Khalidis:

His many talks with the Khalidis, Obama said, had been "consistent reminders to me of my own blind spots and my own biases... It's for that reason that I'm hoping that, for many years to come, we continue that conversation -- a conversation that is necessary not just around Mona and Rashid's dinner table," but around "this entire world."

...The event was videotaped, and a copy of the tape was obtained by The Times.

On Wednesday I talked with Peter Wallsten from the Los Angeles Times about the article on Obama and Khalidi:


Wallston was one of the few mainstream media reporters to report on this radical Obama associate.

Wallston said that the article was written after he watched video taken at the Khalidi going away party. When I asked him about the video he said that as far as he was concerned he was through with the story.

I asked him if he was planning on releasing this video of Obama toasting the radical Khalidi at this Jew-bash. He told me he was not releasing the video. He also would not comment on his source for the video. Wallston also said he did not know if Khalidi's good friend Bill Ayers was at the event or not.

So, there you have it.

The LA Times has video of Obama toasting a former PLO operative at a Jew-bash but will not release the video.

The radical Left's hatred of Israel has been on display for years. With Hussein elected they will be position to do grave harm to Israel and Jews all over the world.

God helps those who helps themselves. Voting for Hussein does not do that.

Race and the race

From the you couldn't make this up department.

The Bradley effect, named after a black LA mayor who lost the race for governor of CA despite having a rather large lead in the polls, states that white people will claim to vote for a black man when asked, but vote for the white man in the privacy of the voting booth.

Now comes CNN with a poll that says 70% of Americans say that race will not be a factor......

Two thoughts.

First, how will we know? The posit of the Bradley effect says that people won't tell. So by definition the poll is meaningless.

Secondly, according to some polls Hussein is getting 97% of the black vote, up from a traditional 80% to 85% for the Democratic candidate. That is a 17% to 12% increase based on race.

Now, if the white vote was increased by a similar margin the election would be over.

Yet the latter would be claimed to be racist while the former is being ignored.

What does all this mean? I haven't the slightest beyond knowing that Hussein won the nomination because of the 95% plus of the black votes he received and the what I call the "willingly stupid," or college students.

I suspect the additional black votes won't be too large of an impact because McCain will carry the traditional red states and Hussein the traditional blue states and the Bradley effect will carry the swing states for McCain.

Only this time I think it won't be a "Bradley" effect but a "PC effect." People won't say they won't vote for Hussein because of race, after all Bradley is 30 years old, but because it would un-PC to do so, even though they are against his positions.
The results will be the same.

No, there is no Ayers Obama conspiracy

In my post just below this one I provide a video link that shows William Ayers as a terrorist and a radical. This is the video.

Link to video.

weeder gander, in his quest to defend all things Leftie writes:

In 1936 American commentator H. L. Mencken wrote:

The central belief of every moron is that he is the victim of a mysterious conspiracy against his common rights and true deserts. He ascribes all his failure to get on in the world, all of his congenital incapacity and damfoolishness, to the machinations of werewolves assembled in Wall Street, or some other such den of infamy.[20]

Belief in conspiracy theories has become a topic of interest for sociologists, psychologists and experts in folklore since at least the 1960s, when the assassination of US President John F. Kennedy eventually provoked an unprecedented public response directed against the official version of the case as expounded in the Report of the Warren Commission.

..........................

n his two volume work The Open Society and Its Enemies Popper used the term "conspiracy theory" to criticize the ideologies driving fascism, Nazism and communism. Popper argued that totalitarianism was founded on "conspiracy theories" which drew on imaginary plots driven by paranoid scenarios predicated on tribalism, racism or classism. Popper did not argue against the existence of everyday conspiracies (as incorrectly suggested in much of the later literature). Popper even uses the term "conspiracy" to describe ordinary political activity in the classical Athens of Plato (who was the principal target of his attack in The Open Society & Its Enemies).

In his critique of Marx and the twentieth century totalitarians, Popper wrote, "I do not wish to imply that conspiracies never happen. On the contrary, they are typical social phenomena."[29]

He reiterated his point, "Conspiracies occur, it must be admitted. But the striking fact which, in spite of their occurrence, disproved the conspiracy theory is that few of these conspiracies are ultimately successful. Conspirators rarely consummate their conspiracy."[29]

Popper proposed the term "the conspiracy theory of society" to criticize the methodology of Marx, Hitler and others whom he deemed to be deluded by "historicism" - the reduction of history to an overt and naive distortion via a crude formulaic analysis usually predicated on an agenda replete with unsound presuppositions.[30]

As usual weeder tries and reframe the question. In this case by writing of conspiracies. It is the old, "Make the other's claim so large that it is easily dismissible," trick.

But I am not going to let you get by with it.

No one has claimed that there is a conspiracy between Ayers and Hussein. I have no doubt that they have never sat and decided that one would do this and the other would do that. If Hussein wins, Ayers will not be part of his administration.

And the video doesn't say that. It merely shows what Ayers has done and presents the thought that Ayers would support Hussein because Ayers sees the radical in Hussein.
The video is merely proof of Hussein's radicalism.

That's why he launched his political career from his home. That's why he appointed him Chairman of one of the boards.

Hussein is a complex person. His early childhood did expose him to Muslim teachings. He did tour the world with a Muslim friend at an early age. His schooling was in a very left wing setting. And his religion was received from a man and church which does preach Black Liberation Theology.

Do I think he is a Muslim? No. I think he is a mixture of his schooling and life experiences, as we all are. I think that made him a radical and I think he saw a fellow radical in Ayers and they both used each other.

So forget your theories, gander. They don't work around here.
