July 14, 2008 Yet Another ObamaBy Michael J. O'SheaBehold Barack doing yet another Obama, this one vintage 2006:
Ooops. Or in the words of The Washington Post - a scant six months later:
Not that that would have surprised William F. Buckley who, just prior to the Obama swithceroo, noted that "in politics, vows of fidelity are renewable every 24 hours." The Buckley-Lieberman bond is as uplifting as the Obama-Lieberman link is a downer. Buckley on Lieberman:
Lieberman on Buckley:
Contrast that with the crassness of Barack Obama:
Barack Obama speaks frequently of the Golden Rule, but lives one of his own: If he helps my career, flaunt him; if he doesn't, dump him. That rule is universal, applying to principle as well as people, the sacred as well as the profane - anything, and anyone, that gets in the way, anything, and anyone, to get ahead. Barack Obama boasts that world leaders would look to him. But what would they see if they did? Would they glimpse in him what Margaret Thatcher saw in Mikhail Gorbachev?
What leader would know what Barack Obama "firmly believes" -- or that he firmly believes anything at all? It's not just hard to have faith in Barack Obama, it's hard to have faith in his faith itself. Just last week he said,
But just last year his spiritual saga had a different paternity:
But then Jeremiah got in the way, as had Joe, so Jeremiah and Joe both had to go. Both learned what America and the world may learn too late - that the one thing you can count on about Barack Obama is that you can't count on Barack Obama. No matter how scholarly about Scripture this "devout Christian" purports to be, he can't fathom Christ's simple command: "Simply let your ‘Yes' be ‘Yes' and your ‘No' be ‘No.'" Be a man of your word. No matter how often he cites Old Testament and New, he misses the Bible's single, simple message: keep your word. God keeps His to you, keep yours to Him and to your fellow man. No matter how often he cites his Hawaiian or Kansas or Selma or other American roots, he still doesn't grasp, much less live, what the Founders declared:
That pledge had weight because all 56 signers were men of their word. So, too, Bill Buckley, so, too, Joe Lieberman -- Christian and Jew, conservative and liberal -- yet steadfast: men of honor, men of their word. And then there's Barack Obama: a man of words whose word is worthless.

Huh?

Obama's pliability has gotten to the point of being downright sickening.Is there anyhting this guy won't flip flop on any given day? One dayhe's a hard lefty when he catches flack from his donors and the next day he's out giving phony speehes on race,religion and patriotism to try and foool the masses. If he had any real plan to fix anything,he wouldn't have to use all this phony JFK stagecraft.Today he's in the NY Times with a new Iraqposition. The Iraqis wanting us out of Iraq isoverstated. They don't mean today or tomorrow but part of a long term security agreement.The hardliners in Iraq don't want us having long term bases there but the pragmitists kow they need us close to put down uprisings.Obama is blind to the fact that the everyday person in Iraq likes us being around for security.

Obama´s interview with Zakaria yesterday revealed other finely-nuanced sides...
1)"...When I said an "undivided Jerusalem" I meant one not divided by barbed wire or a wall...."
...and another....
2)"...When I said withdrawal from Iraq I meant no formal agreement on bases for the 30-50000 non-combat troops who will remain..."
Methinks the man speaks with forked tongue AND out of both sides of his mouth.

"Woe unto the people who choose a child for a King..." Talmud
What people are stupid enough to CHOOSE a child for a king?
So the Talmud defines a "child" as "someone who changes his mind often, whimsically or willfully."
Woe unto America if the "child" is chosen in November!

Obama is as unscrupulous as Leiberman is honorable. Unprincipled as Buckley was principled. A fine example of the "Hooray for me" generation. That "church" he attends must live by their own golden rule "Do unto others before they do unto you". He acts like a spoiled brat who stands for nothing but himself. He is a man of limited intelligence but unlimited hubris.

I would radically disagree that Joe Lieberman a man who cares about families. liberalism is a political philosophy that fosters everything that destroys families (welfare, contraception,abortion,medicalexperiments with human embryos, high taxes, anti-vouchers, anti-defense, pro criminal, relative truth and morality, pro homosexual marriage, and Joe is the worst of the worst when he wrings his hands like pontius Pilate and them votes in favor of partial birth murder of the most innocent base of any family.
Joe supports angainst thosewho hate his people -after that he's closer to lted Kennedy and Hillary.

Beginning to look like Barack Obama is not the Barack Obama that Barack Obama thought he knew.

Obama would be the first to turn tail and run in the face of any threat to this nation, either internal or external. I don't recall cowardice being a quality we are looking for in a leader. Those who are voting for him, do so at your own peril. You will be thrown under the bus faster than he threw his pastor and mother there.

LaMont lost 60-40 to Lieberman (Republican candidate excluded) in hyper-liberal Conneticut over positioning on the Iraq War on Terror.
+++++++++ "BARACK "BARRY" HUSSAIN bin O'BOOMBOX (nee: OBAMA) IS NED LAMONT ON STILTS" ++++++++++
Put that in your Crystal Ball and ponder the Obamaniac Soothsayers!

"didn't barack obama say, 'Words matter.'"
It depends on what the meaning of the word 'word' is.

The mask is off.
Barack Hussein Obama is a puppet, an actor, an entertainer if you will who is very good at his trade by virtue of his oratory and persona. Think about it. He had 20 years of study under Jeremiah Wright to acquire the ability to pander an audience. The Chicago political machinery became his agent and source of funding. Fate gave him the ancestry his backers needed at the time.
Lastly, the liberal media was given the super star they have been looking for since Bill Clinton's self destruction. The religion of the left has been granted the Messiah they have craved in the flesh.
Who said you can't create someting from nothing. However, the truth be know, though many of us may never vote for him, Barack does indeed deserve our sympathy for the way he has fallen into the hands of those who unknowingly or with malace may futher dismantle the American dream and the values that gave it life. So, if not our vote surely our prayers, especially if the electorate somehow chooses not to perform a partial birth abortion in Novevber and he actually becomes our president.

I see here an attack on Joe Lieberman that misses the point. Joe Lieberman and I would disagree on many domestic issues but the author's point is that he is a man of honor, not a man of convenience. He is not narcisstic fool like the current candidate. Joe Liberman in fact says much about the current state of Democrat party. If he had been nominated in 2004 he would have beaten GWB, instead they went to allof, narcisstic, lying John Kerry.
It looks to me like the Democrat party is making the same mistake again. This time it may work but they should think of the old adage in the card game bridge when one is playing a no trump hand. An Obama election could well spell a landslide defeat the next time around. Think James Ear Carter here. I think McCain can win in spite of himself. I thinkl the public is beginning to see Obama as a hollow man.
I am reminded of the old adage, perhaps the best candidate is theone who really has to be dragged in. Folk like Obama and Clinton who have ambitous all of their life for this job have done litttle of real accomplishment. Bill Clionton was elected on very little, Governor of a minor state for many years. That is Barack, today.

"...And for the support of this Declaration, with a firm reliance on the protection of Divine Providence, we mutually pledge to each other our Lives, our Fortunes, and our sacred Honor." In today's political parlance it should be changed to "...we (politicians) mutually pledge to each other YOUR Lives, YOUR Fortunes, and ...." Unfortunately there is no word Honor in a contemporary political vocabulary.

If he so easily hurls anyone under the bus wheels were supposed to trust this man? What possibly would stop him from hurling us under the bus? If a man has no integrity like this then how is he qualified for the highest office?

Bill Sr., Obama doesn't deserve one iota of sympathy from us. He didn't "fall into the hands" of those who have malice for this country and the American Dream. He has willfully tried to shape their agenda, which would destroy this country and its promise and he has willingly embraced them. How else do you explain Ayers and Doren? He is one of the "destroyers."
Posted by: J. P. | July 14, 2008 11:50 AM
perhaps we should initiate a new slogan for senator obama.
"change. radical and frequent."
Posted by: rh | July 14, 2008 11:56 AM
J.P. I'm well aware of who the deceivers and "destroyers" are, they and their agenda were here long before Barack cut his teeth on Marxism or the liberal's version of Socialism in this country. Surely we could never think this newcomer came up with a patent on the current political perversion aimed at our Republic. However, those of us who cherish our heritage and the God we credit with guiding our founders at it's beginning and now are "willfully" trying to defend it must at the same time be fighting for what is right and seek the help of that same God in awakening the hearts of those who refuse to see the light of liberty and the freedoms they flaunt in doing so. Never cease praying for the enemy, we can't accomplish anything worthwhile here below without help from above.

I have one request of all posters. Please get the spelling right of the "democRat" party. After all they have been behaving as such for a long, long, looooong time.
But seriously, has anyone considered a McCain landslide besides me and Kyle-Ann?
AOL straw poll still has McCain thumping Bambi by about 64-36%.

Why do I have to keep re-evaluating BHO every 5 minutes? When I get my performance review at work I can't just deny the negatives, ignore what actually happened, and spin my poor decisions into positives. This guy is not teflon, he is made of some new space age alloy.
Posted by: Spider from Mars | July 14, 2008 07:40 PM
Lee Hazel: I hate PC with a passion.
Jarhead68: I always thought Obama would fail to win even one state. Even with McCain moving to the middle, the far left that was orgasming over Obama is easily unmotivated to vote. His moving to the middle has them running back to the "democrat, republican, they're all the same" position, and they will stay home (with the bong). I'm a musician, I know these people like every square inch of my glorious naked body (ok, that I stole).
Obama is of the far left that sees the constitution as a "living breathing" document. Words do mean things to them, its just that the definitions keep changing.
Obama will be exposed to the world as an empty suit in the first debate.
I think its funny how desparate the dems were to get rid of Bush (I actually work with someone that said he was going to vote Obama because he didn't like Bush), that rather than put up a real candidate, they put up a "ringer" in Obama. I might add as a reminder, he lost his way to the nomination (a record of 3 and 8 in the last 11 primaries?).

Happy Bastille Day gang! Wow. Talk about a non-event. The only oppressed victim that was freed was a crazy old drunk that lived there like the guy in Sheriff Andy's jail that let himself in and out of the cell at will. No Delacroix propaganda painting here. He had no swinging idea he was liberated. Also...the key to the Bastille is ensconced at Mt. Vernon. A gift from Lafayette to George Washington.
Now...what's up with Chicago? Why Chicago? I've been connecting the dots and its amazing incredible history. Did you know that May Day, the major holiday of global Communism commemorates the Haymarket Square riots in 1886 and the official archives of that event were preserved in Communist East Germany? A memorial statue of the first victim, a police officer who died from an anarchist bomb, was itself symbolically blown up twice in the 60's by the creepy Weather Underground?
Historically Chicago is a fertile primieval ooze of socialist anarchy. Railroad hub of the midwest and insanely booming industrial powerhouse...with thousands of disgruntled workers ripe for organizing and radicallizing. The playground of IWW socialist labor agitators. The issue in the bloody Haymarket affair was the 8 hour work day. Karl Marx's radicalized daughter Eleanor and her guy pal, British social Darwinist Edward Avieling (a mooching parisitic deadbeat like her loser dad) hung out in Chicago at the behest of the fledgling American Socialist Party. (Still alive and kicking!)
Anarchists specialized in heinous violent 'propanganda by the deed' to intimidate the bourgeousie into ceding to their cause. Terror...was the favorite tactic of convicted scum, Saco and Vanzetti, whose execution triggered the bombing of Wall Street in 1920. A declaration of war...killing 38 and severely injuring 100's.
Demented hippy fool Bill Ayres and his weird wife Bernadine are true believers in the Luigi Galleani bloodbath strategy of revolutionary forcing of history. They are committed Reds still awaiting their glorious 'Lenin at the Moscow Train Station' moment. (Which...by the way...happened only in the propaganda poster...he was whisked away into hiding as soon as the train braked.) These geniuses thought the Manson massacre was their Ft. Sumter moment in the violent overthrow of America.
The civilized world literally came apart in WWI and Bolsheviks spread their their viral Leninism everywhere... those discombabulated years are referred to as 'The Great Red Scare'...spawning the NAZI Party (a confirmed national socialist movement.) Not that they had better ideas...their crackpot ideology is the useless pits...they showed a sadistic willingness to terrorize at gunpoint as a self proclaimed 'force of nature'. These ruthless maggots are intentionally scary. Che's casual bullet to the brain of counter-revolutionary thought criminals with his cherished .45 automatic was a proud trademark. He even made Fidel nervous!
Chicago became a focal point of global Communism and bomb throwing anarchy in the latter 19th century. It's their proud legacy. The old school labor movement is centered there. Anywhere smokestack America ruled local economies you will find antique wacko union shop liberalism. A toothless vestige of the good old days of intimidation and murder on both sides.
As one can see in Michigan et al, socialist labor unions killed the golden goose. One of the biggest Ford plants in the world in Edison, NJ was recently bulldozed flat and thousands of freight trains full of demolition debris were shipped to landfills. The recently closed Bethlehem Steel Mill...a monster producer for years... is being remodeled into a Sand's Casino.
What comes to mind here is the all-American legacy of the armed citizen. Town folk in Northfield, Minnesota getting out their long range Henry rifles and taking down the marauding James Gang. Maintaining their precious domestic tranquility by right of their sacred Second Amendment.
What also comes to mind is the pugnacious sacrificial spirit of United 93. American citizens... anonymous passengers...bound together for justice...forcing an airliner into the ground at 600 mph to save the lives of strangers. Let's roll!

Each person posting here should think about how you can multiply your voice. It does seem as if many people are coming to realize that Obama is a dangerous orator, but without any reliable substance. His efforts to "refine" his potentially disas trous Iraq defeatism may shine a bright light on his dishonest opportunism. But there will still be a lot of blind support from the left and in the media.

Obama has no loyalities except himself.
Remember Obama was abandoned by his parents as a child.

The anointed one doesn't have to 'debate' anyone. His utterances are diamonds on the ground to his zombie nation. Facts are irrelevant. He's got that smooth preacher style. Mesmerized women want to bear his child. A practiced alpha stud 'Black Thing' from half a privileged doofus white boy from Honolulu. He's a shamanistic shape changer that can morph from Barry to Barack at will.
I am convinced that 'Sauron' Soros has pre-arranged everything for BHO's easy ascension to POTUS, and starring role as New Age socialist sock puppet in the UN World Government. Never misunderestimate the insidious power of mega buck financing and blackmail, from one of the richest men in the world, who also happens to be mad as a hatter and irrationally hates America with a simmering vengeance.
Posted by: Ranger Joe | July 15, 2008 10:13 AM
Ranger Joe, I am not that fearful of Soros for the simple fact that the American people are smarter than that. It's a slower reaction from a population of 300 million compared to the reaction of an individual. Look at the publics attitude toward drilling for oil. It took a while but the vast majority of Americans favor drilling. They don't seem to be all that concerned with global warming now. The reality we conservatives understand is that an energy policy has to take current economic factors into consideration, regardless of catastrophic predictions.
So, when it comes to someone trying to buy the office and force an agenda, it might seem as if a Soros has power, but the reality is that it's just a bunch of noise. Moveon.org failed to elect Kerry, failed to elect Gore, failed to eliminate the electoral college, failed to end the war, failed to impeach Bush.
Even the far left liberals are too smart to be fooled. As soon as they see that he is just another politician lying to them, they'll stay home.
Random thought: When was the last time anyone heard the term "Lame duck?"
Posted by: stevstu | July 15, 2008 05:43 PM
A Kenyan priest had called into a local talk show here in my area a while back and had warned us that this man, Obama, is indeed a Muslim and not to be fooled. If you think about it, look at his face, he is without emotion. Nothing fazes him. I truly believe he is the trojan horse. As it says in J. Edgar Hoovers book "Masters of Deceit", the undermining of our democracy as we know it will come from within. Is this the time? I don't want to take that chance. Also, time for a tea party.
