To briefly recap: Barack Obama made comments to limousine liberals at a San Francisco fundraiser that people in small town Pennsylvania (and in the Midwest, though Obama is wrong to place PA there) are “bitter” and “cling to guns or religion or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations” over the last 25 years of US economic policy.ÂÂ
After these comments proved controversial, Team Obama put out a statement suggesting they were no big deal, then attempted to clarify his remarks in a speech yesterday. The Atlantic’s Marc Ambinder, however, recognizes them as a classic Kinsleyian “gaffe,” where a candidate accidentally says what he really thinks:
[T]the perilous words for Obama are “bitter,” “cling to,” “guns” and “religion.” Those disinclined to put themselves in Obama’s head will read the sentences and see Obama dismissing both religion and American gun culture the opiates of the masses and suggesting that their faith and lifestyle are the product of their bitterness. Voters may believe that one’s position on cultural issues is a better reflection of their inner values than one’s position on economics.
***
The elite media and most Democrats will say… “yeah.. .So? Obama is simply describing world as we know it.” His opponents and people who are inclined to view Obama as an elitist will say, “he is dismissing the culture and religion of working class whites.”
Indeed, the responses to Obama’s words have proven (to Obama allies) a part of his argument. Conservatives are already portraying Obama as liberal, elite, out of touch with the values of ordinary Americans — exactly the type of legerdemain that Obama was pointing to.
So there’s a debate to be had about substance.
Indeed there is, even though Ambinder attempts to assume it away in the passage just quoted (not to mention that the response of Obama’s defenders reinforces the view of his critics also).
Ambinder notes that Obama’s comments echo the thesis of Thomas Frank’s book, What’s the Matter with Kansas? — i.e., that working-class voters in the heartland are misled into voting against their economic interests by supporting Republicans on cultural issues. Oddly enough, liberals rarely write books or give speeches to donors about voters in high per capita income states like New York, Connecticut and California being misled by Democrats into voting against their economic interests.
If there is to be a debate about substance, Obama has to make the case that his polices are in these voters’ economic interest, instead of assuming it to be self-evident. In the case of Pennsylvania, Obama may want to take a glance at the current map of state per capital personal income from the Commerce Department’s Bureau of Economic Analysis:
Pennsylvania has an above average per capital income, contrary to the stereotype Obama has seemingly borrowed from a Billy Joel song that was a hit before the 25-year period Obama mentions. When the elite media and most Democrats say… “yeah… So? Obama is simply describing world as we know it,” they will be revealing that they know as much about those economic interests as they do religion or culture.
Moreover, even assuming for the sake of argument that some voters do vote values over economics, Obama may want to explain to such voters why they should do otherwise, given that he has spent the last 20 years in a church known for disavowing “the pursuit of middleclassness.”
Furthermore, if Obama wants to claim that voters in Pennsylvania and elsewhere have an antipathy to people who aren’t like them, he should explain why Virginians in the region voted for Douglas Wilder, but do not seem too keen on Barack Obama.
In addition, if Obama thinks these voters are clinging to anti-immigrant sentiment or anti-trade sentiment because of US economic policy, he ought to explain why he is exploiting anti-trade sentiment on the campaign trail, but advocating lax policies on illegal immigration, including (but not limited to) providing government benefits like drivers’ licenses to illegal aliens and allowing criminals to become citizens. Once he does that, Obama can explain how he squares his stated position on trade with the advice of his top economic adviser. And when he does that, Obama can explain how his stated position on immigration squares with his labor-induced vote that killed the McCain-Kennedy immigration bill last summer.
While Obama is busy with those explanations, Democrats — particularly superdelegates — may want to consider what David Frum wrote about the Thomas Frank thesis:
Suppose you believed that liberal economic policies were not only good for America, but also potentially popular. And suppose you also believed that the only reason that these policies kept losing elections was the Republican success in misrepresenting Democrats as snobbish, effete, weak, and godless. What conclusion would follow from these premises? Seems to me it would be: “We Democrats have to find a way to separate economic populism from cultural liberalism – and we have to start finding candidates with whom the voters can identify.” Obvious, right?
Apparently not, given that the Democrats have a tendency to nominate candidates like Mike Dukakis, John F. Kerry and probably Barack Obama.
Update: Insta-lanche!
Update x2: Gateway Pundit notes Pennsylvania’s below-average unemployment and continued job growth.
Not much of a salesman. I mean seriously – insulting your customers?
[T]the perilous words for Obama are “bitter,†“cling to,†“guns†and “religion.â€Â
I would strike “bitter” from that list. Sen. Obama did a good job of explaining why it isn’t wrong to say that people are bitter/resentful/want change.
I would add the anti-immigration/anti-people-who-are-different/anti-trade comments to the list, though. Sen. Obama has been telling people to blame free trade for their problems–and now he’s caught in San Francisco calling them hicks for believing his campaign.
Further, tying anti-immigrant sentiment to xenophobia isn’t very nice. For a guy who’s ready to blame free trade for taking away jobs from Americans, you’d think he would understand that immigration means foreigners coming here and driving down wages. You can’t run on a “foreigners are taking your jarbs”/zero-sum game platform and expect your voters to welcome foreigners who want to come to America to take jobs.
The key line of attack is: “Sen. Obama said if you had more jobs and made more money, you would be less religious, less interested in gun rights, and hate people who are different/immigrants less. In other words, he said you’re a bunch of jerks because you’re poor white trash. People who make more money are better than you, have better values, and Obama intends to represent their values, not yours.”
Okay – I’ve read other threads on this subject (I went to bed early as I have a cold). The only thing I can say about this is (A) do the Dems long for the campaiging brilliance of John Kerry and Mike Dukakis? And (B) WTF? Does anybody anywhere produce briefing memos on the various states and regions their candidate passes through so that they don’t open their mouths and let their brains fall out? And (C) there will be spies in your audience, they will record what you say, for the love of God be circumspect!
good thoughtful post, Karl.
One of Obama’s biggest faults is that he relies heavily on subtle nuance. What are the voting values of downscale voters in the rust-belt mid west, where manufacturing oriented economies have gotten hit very hard over the past years.
He argues that these folks have repeatedly turned to politicians to do something about their predicament, who have repeatedly promised to do something about it, and have repeatedly ended up doing nothing. This repeated failure of the pols leaves people cynical about voting on economic issues, and so they place a higher priority on non-economic issues in their voting.
Is Obama’s argument overly stereotypical? In some ways.
People always went to church and had guns…
He sould have emphasized that all this talk is about voting patterns, not cultural habits..
Mikey NTH , ditto on your post # 3, it seems to me if Obama is nominated he effectively will turn himself into another Kerry.
Will the dems ever learn?
Never mind the ‘guns, religion’ stuff. The biggest mistake Obama made was putting Pennsylvania in with the “Midwestern” crowd. That displays a simply breath-taking lack of awareness by Obama and Pennsylvanians will knock him for it.
Politically, this gaffe is the equivalent of John Kerry daintily eating a cheesesteak loaded up with swiss cheese, capers, endive, with a bit of truffle oil. It might ‘make sense’ to Kerry and his, dare I say, ilk. But that’s not the way it’s done.
Obama: He Thinks Pennsylvania is in the Midwest –
Where Does He Think Pakistan is?
Karl –
OK — Barack isn’t perfect…So he stumbled on a couple of sentences. Last night in Indiana, he clarified what he meant and we should believe him. He has never given us reason not to trust his word. He’s not the candidate that gets caught lying to the public. If you caught the news last night, you probably saw the flaming of Obama (obviously not his biggest fan club)…A little extreme over a simple miscommunication. I look forward to the day that, we as intelligent beings can be above this type of junk. Please help us all rise above this behavior.
Thanks, Grant
we as intelligent beings
I think this word…”intelligent” does not mean what you think it means.
When I posted about this yesterday, I had found the part ..
.. as just breathe taking in regard to the fact that just the day before Nancy Pelosi had taken the Columbian Free Trade agreement out of contention for an up or down vote.
But why would Nancy Pelosi be bitter ?
But alas, here was the leading contender for the Democratic nomination for POTUS basically saying that this was a cynical act, probably a cynical political act which was not in the interest of the nation, but nonetheless standard Democratic fare of the day.
I’ve noticed today, that many progressive sites seem to leave off the “anti-trade sentiment” portion of the quote, including Reuters.
Are all Democratic candidates so cynical of the voters that they fell free to distort their own positions publicly while secretly knowing that they would not support it themselves ?
I will watch and wait for an answer.
From the HuffPo link:
“I thought again and again what great deer hunting country it is, and how my dad, a hunter in his younger days, would love it. Clipping a poem from the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette by Jeff O’Brien, a citizen of Upper Turkeyfoot, Somerset County, I imagined Turkeyfoot’s “ice hard in the cavities of the derelict woods/the long dark coming in the magnesium shifts of twilight”

So we’re going on down to a gun sale at the church! I didn’t understand at the time that Buddy thought that was a bad thing. Because I’m a white man.
No, sashal, what’s happening is that Obama is operating on a set of assumptions that constitute an unconsidered pejorative stereotype. The only nuance involved is that he bases his arguments and proposals on that stereotype without stating it directly. The precise technical term for that in the English language is “bigotry”.
Once in a while, as here, the actual content of the stereotype gets stated. When people respond by being offended, we get Grant and his cohorts telling us it doesn’t matter; it’s all true anyway, so we should ignore it and go on to the next thing.

Ric
Grant,
Barack has given us every reason to doubt his word. For starters, Barack spent twenty years with a spiritual adviser who preaches some extreme, radical version of something that resembles Christianity … and then lightly tosses him overboard at the first hint of trouble.
I prefer my presidents be a bit more rock-ribbed than that.
–
and then lightly tosses him overboard at the first hint of trouble.
I’m not sure I remember the part when Wright got tossed, but then I’m not sure about that “lightly” adjective either.
OTOH, I completely agree that “Barack has given us every reason to doubt his word”. I also liked Allah’s line, “[Barack] is a condescending, crypto-Marxist, elitist liberal poseur”.
I also think it is worth watching this in this regard.
Another thing that irks me is that most of the people he uses this broad brush on probably never considered turning to politicians or the gubmint to solve their problems.
Self-reliance is probably highly valued by your Typical White Pennsylvanian.
I’m with BumperStickerist in wondering when someone will mention that Western PA is not the mid-west. Do you think Obama has ever been to Western PA before? Not just the Pittsburgh airport either.
Living diresctly on the border between the mid-west and the south, I expect to be pandered to during the Presidential elections, not insulted. And it’s insulting that he did not once mention crystal meth, I mean come on!
Everyone knows that all the gun nuts went into the army to kill brown people, the bitter ones mostly sit at home and do crank.
He has never given us reason not to trust his word
Oh geez. Wright and Rezko for starters. And when he sends his wife out to tell us to not whine when the Dems come to take our pie, it doesn’t give warm fuzzies. He’s a socialist who politely chides and dismisses anyone who points that out while letting others in his camp be a bit more hardcore in the enforcing.
Grant, you seem to have fallen for Obama’s Jedi mind tricks
Baracky will do all he can to help us not cling to religion or guns. Lotsa times what helps break a grip like that is a cattle prod. Cowboy up, Baracky! There’s lots what are bitter and need your help. Maybe you can get M’chelle her own prod so you can help more peoples.
Sashal said rust belt.
That term is so incredibly derogatory, I don’t understand why it is acceptable in common use. I see pundits use it all the time, and it grinds on me. What other region of the country has such an awful name thrown at it it such a casual manner?
As for Barack speech:
and when they hear a pitch that is premised on not being cynical about government, then a part of them just doesn’t buy it. And when it’s delivered by — it’s true that when it’s delivered by a 46-year-old black man named Barack Obama (laugher), then that adds another layer of skepticism (laughter).
I love the way all the rich white people laugh when he talks about how racist the Pennsylvanians and Midwesterners are.
Or maybe he can get more Michelles.
I also liked Allah’s line, “[Barack] is a condescending, crypto-Marxist, elitist liberal poseurâ€Â.
Don’t know what would give anyone that idea.
http://www.zombietime.com/obama_visits_billionaires_row/
Maybe you can get M’chelle her own prod…
That is going to give me nightmares.
Mr. Reynolds did that lanchey thing.
Obama to Pennslylvania Dems – Ignorant S.O.B.s
My only comment on the subject is that if Hillary!TM doesn’t seize on this to increase her lead in Pennsylvania (voting occurs just over a week from today), she is too clueless to be considered for the Dem nomination, much less the presidency.
“he is dismissing the culture and religion of working class whites.â€Â
Say what ? What you mean “whites” ?
“Pennsylvania has an above average per capital income, contrary to the stereotype Obama has seemingly borrowed from a Billy Joel song that was a hit before the 25-year period Obama mentions.”
Ah, thank you for mentioning that. I was seriously wondering if I’d gone back in time. I haven’t seen anyone else questioning that part of his statement.
[…] perfect storm of phoniness is what Reynolds says all this reaction to Obama’s, dare I say it, major mistake right before the Pennsylvania primary. Man […]
I question the timing of the release of his arrogance.
Every week or so Senator Obama demonstrates his allegiance not just to the church he goes to but what they teach, despite his protestations. The problem is, this sets up Senator Clinton as a winner in the next few primaries and gives her momentum as well as scaring the delegates about Senator Obama’s chances of winning the general. They may decide old mo gives Clinton the best shot and nominate her, and I think while she’s a very weak candidate that people instinctively hate (and blacks will stay home and not vote for), Obama is even weaker.
I can’t wait for Obama to be the Democratic nominee. Talk about an empty suit!
Our only problem will be when he loses the election.
Batten down the hatches, America. Even if Obama loses by 10,000,000 votes. the proggs are going to be PISSED OFF. 1968 is going to look like a picnic.
The Dems are so F’ed up, that no matter what, they tell their moronic voters that the right has stolen the election. Just think of that moron, Kerry. He lost Ohio by about 160,00 votes, and they STILL said they were “stolen”
Ha-ha! I wish that those votes WERE stolen. Anyone with half a brain knows who is the leading vote stealer. My parents used to laugh about the Democrats stealing votes back in the sixties, and it has only gotten worse (i.e. – funnier).
The Dems have always played to ignorance, and nothing has changed.
It should be called the “Dipshit” party.
Frankly, I am not offended if lefties think of rural Americans as gun toting, religious fanatics. Maybe, vis a vis the Mo-toons approach to obtaining ‘tolerance,’ if the world saw us as slightly more dangerous they would be more willing to accomodate our wants and desires.
No, what pisses me off is that lefties assume our gun looniness and Bible thumpin religiosity stems solely from our purported economic distress, a distress that can only be aleviated by their big government programs.
Note to lefties: My own attachment (call it clinginess, if you will) to firearms is directly proportional to my aversion to big government programs. Please draw your own conclusions.
Moreover, even assuming for the sake of argument that some voters do vote values over economics, Obama may want to explain to such voters why they should do otherwise, given that he has spent the last 20 years in a church known for disavowing “the pursuit of middleclassness.”
How much effort have you put into what was meant by the disavowal of “the pursuit of middleclassness”? Not very much, I would say. If you had read “Dreams from My Father” you would know that it categorically is not disapproving of economic success. Your suggestion that there’s some sort of contradiction between disapproving of the “middleclassness” and voting on economic issues or pursuing economic success is dead wrong. From the book (emphasis added):
So basically, that is code for “hate whitey, embrace your brotherman.”
Foo Bar
That plain doesn’t make sense. The American middleclass is sneered and stereotyped by elites for their “unenlightened” ways, yet their values, charity (outgive the proggs by huge numbers), community volunteerism gives lie to claims by such as Obama.
“He has never given us reason not to trust his word.”
According to Obama and extreme wright-winger MSNBC:
2008.http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/15026621/
Obama’s word back in 2004 was that he had no intention of running for President in 2008, he was going to serve out his first six years as Jr. Senator.
Plus, Obama calls himself a Centrist to hide his Socialist Progressive record.
I don’t trust Obama’s word his wife.
“He has never given us reason not to trust his word.”
Where I come from, which, oddly enough, happens to be Philadelphia, I was taught to allow a man to establish – over a period of time – that he is worthy of my trust. Doubly so if the man needs something that I have, or is trying to sell me something.
I do not know Obama, and very few do – so he has no reason to demand my trust. I might say that it is a bit dishonest to say things to one crowd in public about other people that you wouldn’t say to them if they were present. To borrow a phrase, “words do matter.”
To the topic at hand:
He really is such an effete asshole that he can’t perceive that Leftist policies have mightily pissed off people who used to be faithful Democrats. (For example, the Section Eight housing vouchers that stole whole neighborhoods out from under people here in Philadelphia) It appears he really thinks everybody who didn’t go to college is stupid.
Foo Bar
So you don’t see anything wrong with his all mighty unityness embracing a doctrine that demands black folk not assimilate with whitey in their oppressive “middlecassness?”
Because, after all, if the black folk were to enbrace “middleclassness,” not as a opportunity to be chisled into a stereotype “that hypnotizes the successful brother or sister into believing they are better than the rest and teaches them to think in terms of “we†and “they†instead of “US.†but rather as a natural progression of mainstreaming economically successful blacks into the United States where race no longer is the primary calling card.
Thus the “conversation” so urgently needed still consists of whites sitting quiet and contrite while Obama explains to us the transendancy of theior “original sin.”
Obama is a fraud and he reinforces this conclusion everytime he makes statements like these while preaching unity and hope.
Foo Bar: In other words, race trumps all other considerations.
Even I and my cracker ancestors never went quite that far.
Regards,
Ric
This is Obama’s second strike, rendered more foolish by the fact that he swung at a pitch that never reached the plate. He has one more, and then he’s out. And he won’t be getting many more softballs the rest of the way. Hillary has already struck out–she’s just arguing with the umpires and won’t go back to the dugout.
Democrats may talk a big game–but none of them actually understands baseball. Or sports fans in general.
Imagine this:
John Mcain saying that ghetto dwellers join gangs, kill for drugs, and join whitey hating black liberation churches because there ate no jobs and their political leaders have made forty years of promises but instead exploited them by trapping them in execrable union run schools.
Oops, deleted a phrade by accident:
…where race no longer is the primary calling card then they are to be chided for abandoning their entire racial heritage for the opportunity to be fooled into believing they are a part of their greater, interracial community.
BJTexas – Did you put on your white hood and robe when you completed this post?
Shaundrie
either you’re parodying what Obama True Believers think of everyone that hasn’t been converted to the Revealed Truth
or you’re serious
If the latter, you really are an idiot and moral moron.
BJTexs:
I think it’s a stretch to read that passage as anti-assimilation. All it’s saying is “don’t forget about the remaining, less affluent black community; don’t think you’re better than them”.
Even if you insist on reading it as separationist or anti-assimilation, that doesn’t change the fact that the portion of Karl’s post referring to middleclassness is wrong. Disavowing middleclassness does not amount to disapproving of placing some emphasis on economic concerns.
Obama…the boy who put the ‘ninny’ back in ‘pickaninny’
Oh, yeah, Shaundrie, I bow to your powers of ESP to see into my heart. I suggest you read this comment from another thread and rethink your glorious insight.
Thank you for bringing the change, hope and unityness.
What if McCain said “black people all vote Democrat because they’re not successful in our current economy so they vote for the candidate who gives them the most government entitlements”. Might black people not have cause to be offended by this?
“BJTexas – Did you put on your white hood and robe when you completed this post?”
That is really all you’ve got, isn’t it?
Foo Bar:
I don’t have to “stretch” to reach that conclusion when TUCC’s own writings reinforce the meme.
Thus “middleclassness” not only makes the black folk turn their backs on their own but serves the purposes of the oppressor.
Nope, nothing to see here, stop stretching and move along…
Sachal: Did McCain or anyone here ever say such a thing? If not, I’d prefer to deal with the things that people actually say rather than what ifs.
But don’t listen to me: My critical thinking skills are choked off by the hood I’m wearing.
The thing is, I suspect if you went back and examined Senator Obama’s speeches of the past, he’s said this kind of stuff before. Nobody was paying that close attention, is all.
Obama may want to explain to such voters why they should do otherwise, given that he has spent the last 20 years in a church known for disavowing “the pursuit of middleclassness.â€Â
I don’t see the problem where for Barack and Michele. I mean, with a income of nearly half a million dollars last year, they have transcended the middle class. By virtually every measure, the least of which is that of Congressional Democrats, they are rich.
BJTexs:
That’s fair enough- the initial passage in and of itself is not particularly separationist, but you have a stronger case with what you cite.
Am I going to get an acknowledgment out of you that Karl was wrong to suggest that a disavowal of middleclassness meant a disavowal of economic success? Or are the standards around here such that as long as “middleclassness” meant something we don’t like, it doesn’t matter if we mischaracterize what it meant?
Shaundrie – Go fuck yourself.
The rest of you Obama trolls are fun. You make me laugh. Thank you.
Foo Bar: I appreciate your words.
Where exactly does Karl equate the above with disavowel of economic success? Again this stupid hood may be choking off my reasoning skills.
And not to pick nits but refering to a racial identity as “captives” would seem to me to imply a rather clearly defined “separation.”
That was fantastic, Karl.
One has to wonder how an intellectual could be unaware that Pennsylvannians’ distrust of government might have a longer history, and likewise with their attachment to guns.
BTW: I pay Darleen and JD to be my personal racially charged bodyguards. :-)
for all of that changeyness promised, it is really just more of the same.
RaCistS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Foo Bar – Despite your apparent ability to know more about TUCC than TUCC, I am willing to take Baracky’s church at their word. Fuck the middle class and fuck being part of the system. Poor or upper class, or nothing!!!!!!
Racist fuckers.
BJTexs:
In the paragraph starting “Moreover,” that I cited in my original comment, Karl is clearly suggesting that there’s some sort of contradiction between Obama suggesting that voters should vote on economic issues and Obama attending a church that disavows “middleclassness”. This is wrong. As is explained in the cite I supplied, the church’s stance is that it is permissible to pursue “middleincomeness” vigorously.
That’s what I am saying, BJTex, imagine if McCain did.
How much whining about it we would hear?
OK, I see your point although it seems to me to be a rather minor nit picker within the greater point of the post. It is true that TUCC mission statement defines “middleincomeness” as something to be “vigorously” pursued.
I would point out some juicy irony in his broad brush condemning of this socio economic group for having herd mentality values that exclude them from considering Obama (at least in his own mindset) as a choice outside of their perceived values while the quoted TUCC mission statement strongly implies that middle class blacks should exclude themselves from “middleclassness.”
Again, not very unity.
sachal: Sorry, I was still oxygen deprived from this damnable hood and didn’t take your question seriously My bad.
Foo Bar,
Bah. You are trying to split an unsplittable hair. That’s especially rich coming from the side that not only refuses to allow our hairs to be split, it insists on braiding them into supposedly-unbreakable cables.
It would actually be easier for you if it were back-translated into the original Marxspeak: bourgeoisie. The trouble with that is that it makes the intent plain, and what you are after is obfuscating it.
Regards,
Ric
I’ve seen a good bit written about this latest gaffe by Obama, but it seems as if nobody is making a point that immediately leaps out at me.
That is Obama describing people as clinging to religion. This is a man that has attended a church for 20 some-odd years – a church that has been just a tad controversial.
So what exactly is it that Obama objects to about people taking comfort in (clinging to) religion? Is there something wrong with that in his mind? How does some guy in PA attending church weekly differ from Obama attending church?
FWIW, my sense is that Obama doesn’t go to church for ‘religious’ reasons at all. But that’s just what I think. I’d really like to hear him explain his remarks in this context.
The “middleclassness” thing doesn’t make sense to Karl, because he doesn’t understand commies. Good for him. Don’t bother explaining it. Bitch about something else. Like this:
Leftist economic policy benefits two groups of people: drones of the state, and those whose wealth (or the structure of their compensation, e.g., drones of the state, corporate officers) shields them from the class-locking effects of taxation. It hurts people who are broke (who are often so only because of taxation (FICA, especially, hardens the immobility of the poor)), and people whose income is high, but whose wealth is low (small businessmen, first-generation up-from-poverty types, etc.).
Even to repeat the phrase “against their economic interests” in describing the voting patterns of the rich and poor for the sake of a BECAUSE OF THE HYPOCRISY! is to concede too much. It sticks it in people’s heads. It’s stuck in yours. And it’s a lie.
So don’t do that.
Contemplate the arrogance of someone who presumes to be able to undersand the psychology of an entire segment of society. Now contemplate the utter stupidity and shallowness of the analysis. Who gives two shits about what Obama thinks motivates us knuckle draggers? I’d expect that from a college sophomore mailing in a last minute Sociology 101 term paper.
I’m going to second Darleen’s reply.
Maybe the reason Obama wants to focus on economic issues is because his background of sneering at middle class values isn’t exactly a good message.
Well, the rich are different from us…
And yet, MeGehee, that’s exactly what he does. That entire paragraph is one long sneer at the cartoon character values in his head that he thinks represents an entire class of individuals.
Hopey. changey, unity!
I remember an American colleague going on and on about this “What’s the matter with Kansas?” book. I started reading it in a bookstore — and recognized that I’ve read this all before. Left-wing political literature in Belgium is full of condescending essays that try to reduce EVERYTHING to socio-economics. Paraphrasing Disraeli, “The only truth is class”?
Unlike most of America’s liberal left, I actually have a working-class background, and recognize a condescending hypocrite when I see one. Obama represents the New Class and nobody else.
Wouldn’t it be great if he stops in North Philly and says of inner-city dwellers, “It’s not surprising then they get bitter, they cling to guns or drugs or antipathy to people who aren’t like them or anti-semitic sentiment or anti-trade sentiment as a way to explain their frustrations.”
What’s on at The Bijou in Oil City.
Ric Locke – It’s just me…I have no cohorts…and I was just expressing my point of view after reading Karl’s posting. I can appreciate all the still lurking concerns about Barack. I am just a middle age guy in CA more fearful than I’ve ever been about our future. I don’t agree with many of is positions on policy, yet I was born a republican (registered “I”) and have major issues with many of the DEM policies. I just dislike the other side a whole lot more. Hillary’s just more of the same on steroids. He’s the best (or should I say) the least “cronie” of today’s options. Show me better and I’ll listen. Thanks for the conversation, Grant
[…] at protein wisdom is using the belly slap torture technique on […]
It is true that TUCC mission statement defines “middleincomeness†as something to be “vigorously†pursued.
Well yeah. How else was Jeremiah gonna get that house?
Grant- I reject your politics of fear.
He’s the best (or should I say) the least “cronie†of today’s options.
That sentence has me worried a little bit about you, as Obama is awash in cronies.
What about Obamas cronies leaves you feeling better?
Top sentence should be in quotes, with Grant the quotee.
Obama’s back out today: “I said something that everybody knows is true.”
I can’t wait to see the new Pennsylvania polls.
The “anti-immigrant” bit is just a cover for his support for massive illegal activity. And, in addition to his other trade-related issues, Obama supports a highly questionable Bush trade scheme. No one else besides me and Obama are willing to point out that he supports that scheme for some reason despite it further showing how much of a phony he is. Details at my name’s link.
DaveW,
He’s not just talking about religion, nor is he talking about any old religion one might belong to. Review the quote:
These are all things Obama supposes to frown upon, except for when he’s pandering to anti-trade sentiment to these very same people. And what he’s saying, to a liberal, elitist crowd that knows exactly what he’s talking about, is that he knows why these rednecks are so fucked in the head: Because of the policies of the two people he’s running against. Clinton and Bush III (according to his frame.)
Or, Baracky is just a lying mendouceous hack, and his ongoing statements just serve to prove that.
Barack is smarter than you.
Barack is richer than you.
Barack is thinner than you.
So what the hell are you people on about? Go kill a squirrel or something.
“… working-class voters in the heartland are misled into voting against their economic interests by supporting Republicans on cultural issues.”
Which is the default reactionary leftist position, reducing the human animal in all his glorious complexity to a mindless robot of economics.
“Today, wanting someone else’s money is called need, wanting to keep your own money is called greed, and compassion is when liberal politicians arrange the transfer.”
Dave W does bring to mind an excellent question: Are the folks at TUCC bitter? Do they have this antipathy toward people who aren’t like them?
I am just a middle age guy in CA more fearful than I’ve ever been about our future. I don’t agree with many of is positions on policy, yet I was born a republican
See, this is where I begin to suspect your bonafides. Leftists believe the personal is the political and that non-Leftists have somesort of congenital disease that must be “cured” or “erradicated”. Republicans voluntarily adopt their politics due to their informed values.
If you’re afraid of the future, that fear must be coming from the ever-moving-to-the-left Gov. Arnold (and yes, CA Republicans bear some measure of responsibility in shoving him that way) … since it looks like higher taxes are going to be imposed in an already high tax state AND an “expansion of the tax base” by the unprecedented taxing of services (doctor, lawyer, nail salon). No cut to the boondoggle of $3billion to embryonic stem cell research, but threats of cutting cops and teachers if we Californians don’t open up our veins a little more.
have major issues with many of the DEM policies. I just dislike the other side a whole lot more
again, more evidence that your claim of a “born republican” is so much bovine excrement wherein you call Repubicans “the other side”. Just which “policy” of the Republicans is a “whole lot more” repugnant than the nationalization of 1/7 of our economy, surrender to our enemies and wholesale
theftredistribution of wealth?Somebody please hand Baracky a shovel, or tell him that this is a winning message.
#83 — a large part of my family consists of so-called progressives and they believe this exactly.
There is just ZERO respect for people who aren’t progressive.
“Comment by sashal on 4/12 @ 10:55 am #
That’s what I am saying, BJTex, imagine if McCain did.
How much whining about it we would hear?”
Don’t worry about it. The MSM lies and dostorts the things Republicans say all the time.
Why niggle about a hypothetical?
Oh.
Am I allowed to say niggle?
What Darleen said. I do not see how Grant can think Baracky is the second coming and at the same have us believe that he is a lifelong Republican. I call Moby. Big-time.
I think it’s amusing that some would assume I didn’t get the “middleclassness” thing, given the amount I have written about Black Liberation Theology. “Middleclassness” is indeed a mindset, and it is largely one that BO attacked in his comments at the fundraiser for his rich donors, as Ric pointed out. That makes BO’s comments all the more damaging, as it underscores that they are cultural in nature. But I thank Foo Bar for walking right into that.
See, this is where I begin to suspect your bonafides
I’d like to distinguish republican from conservative. I’m pretty sure I haven’t reached the stage where I could vote for McCain (although I’m becoming convinced it won’t be necessary), but I could never vote socialist, whatever the tint. The man could certainly be a Republican, but most definitely does not sound conservative.
you call Repubicans “the other sideâ€Â
Damn. Good call. Slipped right by me.
Typical Moby, Grant thinks he’s so much smarter that we’ll never read between the lines.
Right, red [heh]:
Where has John McCain ever indicated that he thinks people act as an unindividuated herd, dysfunctionally responsive via bitterness, hate, or self-destruction, either to an essentially mysterious and uncontrollable lack of fodder – such as “lack of jobs” – or to not being provided – as obligatory dependents – with whatever some mythical all-providing Tender has promised?
No, that would involve an “unconsidered perjorative stereotype” – or at best the basis of a consciously manipulative, propagandistic tactic aimed at unconsidering groupists – instead characteritic of Progressivism’s demonstrated essence and approach, and shown over and over by Progressivism’s perseverating projections, starting back with Karl Marx.
I would have a hard time seeing McCain to be either so stupid or untethered to reality to imagine that.
Cretins like Grant always think they can pass as Republicans or Conservatives or Libertarians merely by stating they are. They have no idea of the philosophies that motivate the Left or the Right; indeed, they have not one clue such motivating philosophies even exist. That’s why they’re leftists in the first place.
Karl: I commented that I thought Foo Bar was picking nits but the use of “Economics” in the same paragraph as “middleclassness” while he’s talking about people ignoring economic issues could be interpreted, in a serpentine, drunken boxing kind of way, as ignoring the “vigorous pursuit of middleincomeness.”
I knew better and Foo Bar was being somewhat gracious to me after I buried him on “separatism” so I threw him/her a bone. Of course I know you know the difference as we have been talking about this issue for weeks. My bad again.
I plead more oxygen deprivation from a faulty white hood that I donned according to the psychic Shaundrie at #47.
Oh and Obama is a fraud.
Now I shall attend my evangelical PA. church where I will handle some snakes and smack a few people on the forehead, to be followed by hunting for illegal immigrants and the Spotted Owl Barbeque Youth Event where all the yung’uns will be indoctrinated into Intelligent Design, homophobia and the bombing of abortion clinics.
Does that just about cover it?
ha, that’s great BJTexs, cause we all know only the radicals have church on Saturdays. least that’s what my Southern Baptist upbringing taught me. ;D
Garter or rattler?
– Ok. I, for one, am convinced that both campaigns are using the staff writers from “Family guy” for their speeches.
You are right, maggie! I just became a Seventh Day Adventist, lol! I shall now be purged from the Presbyterian Church and left to wander aimlessly with my white hood and robe.

Hell of a drive, BJ.
I think it’s amusing that some would assume I didn’t get the “middleclassness†thing, given the amount I have written about Black Liberation Theology
Regardless of how much you’ve written on the topic, the paragraph beginning with “Moreover, ” doesn’t make sense. If the church says it is permissible to pursue “middleincomeness” energetically, then there’s no contradiction between that and the suggestion that voters ought to vote economics over values.
B.O. has a point: being out here at the end of my road, I am pretty got dam bitter about Progressivism’s “help”, especially since that’s what I was trying to escape to begin with.
– “….then there’s no contradiction between that and the suggestion that voters ought to vote economics over values.”
– Especially when your partys “G_d” is tha almighty dollar.
…voters ought to vote economics over values.
Progressivism states, shows us, and has proven repetitively that for Progressives there is no difference between the two. Especially since for Progressives both sum to Zero, at best.
Much like the best case sum for your non-reality based [sub]rational capacity, Foo Bar.
CopperHEADS! You fool! I can tell you’re no Pennsylvanian!
We had the Copperheads over for our squirrel and possum supper every Sunday after church. They used to work at the same steel mill we all did, but when that went under, none of us could find jobs, not even the Copperheads. We’d snarl about all those immigrants coming in and taking the jobs that didn’t exist, pick the buckshot out of the squirrel and possum stew, and drink our beer and chuck the cans at the local abortion mill. Yes, we were, indeed, quite bitter.
SNAKE CONFUSION!
I thought Presbyterians only handled Cotton Mouthers.
If I had a niggle for every time someone’s asked me that…
We used to just chuck rocks at the copperheads as they were sunning on the rocks by Young Woman’s Creek.
That was a puritan joke.
But then, maybe big science is splicing up some snakes. Brrrrr
HUMOR PURITANIST!
Never said I was a lifetime GOP. I was born into it, meaning my father is a Republican. I’m sure that their are a lot of people here much smarter than me. Grant
“That was a puritan joke.”
May they ever increase…
I thought Presbyterians only handled Cotton Mouthers.
Them’s dangerous when they congregates.
Foo Bar still doesn’t get it. Shocka, though perhaps not from someone named Foo Bar. To put it in small words (as Ric’s clearly sailed overhead), I would love to see Obama explain the difference between “middleclassness” and “middleincomeness” to the voters, why he rejects the former, but not the latter, etc. There is no way Obama will do this.
But cling to that “moreover.” And the “furthermore.” And the “in addition.”
– Either Jeff has gone commercial, or the spamBOTs have wormed their way past the spam filter and cling with a rapacious fervor that would shame a Southern snake charmer.
Well, Barry O does seem to be an olden-timey snake oil salesman…
Oh, brother.
I hereby declare “born [a] Republican” to be the Mark of the Moby.
Hmmm. I was born unaffiliated.
Ardis,
There’s more to that history than just what you cite too.
I was born a republican…
So was John McCain…

He already has:
This is consistent with the gist of the book quote I posted, which said those in the black community who are doing well should not forget about those who are less prosperous.
Yeah, Foo Bar, but most churches already say that and don’t have to bring up class warfare or denigrate middleclass behavior to preach charity to the less fortunate. The whole “Christian Charity” thing is supposed to be to any humans without thought of color, race, ethnicity, gender, denomination, etc. His is a pretty narrow-minded view of who is to get charity.
– “Redistribution of wealth”, just another meme of the under-achiever, a permanent member of the church of the “world owes me a living” congregation. But religion perse’ is so 50’s.
“Didn’t alphie claim to be a Republican a few times?”
Yeah, he also claimed to have no worldview, and to have a functioning intellect. He was wrong on all counts.
FooBar
But you and Obama are again casting “middleclassness” AS FORGETTING the less fortunate .. which is a lie. The middleclass are the backbone of charity and volunteerism.
HOWEVER, a person (socialist, communist, or fascist) will dismiss/ignore charity and only count GOVERNMENT giving as legitimate in taking care of the less fortunate. That is why the elite rich (inherited wealth, movie stars, et al – as opposed to self-made rich who retain their middleclass work ethic values) love them some Obama. He assuages their white guilt and they know the socialist policies will actually either exempt or protect their wealth clearing the field of competition from those uppity entrepenuers.
This is consistent with the gist of the book quote I posted, which said those in the black community who are doing well should not forget about those who are less prosperous.
That’s not the problem, it’s the rest of the points made that’s at issue. What about middleclassness equates to forgetting the poor? How do you structure that in any way that isn’t insulting to the bulk of America?
Answer: you cannot, and the very concept demonstrates a condescension common to the left.
I would try explaining that agin in even smaller words, but it is fairly plain that Foo Bar is in denial about what Obama’s comments mean on the level of values.
The “agin” is a typo, but I’m not editing it, as it works in this context.
That’s not the problem, it’s the rest of the points made that’s at issue. What about middleclassness equates to forgetting the poor? How do you structure that in any way that isn’t insulting to the bulk of America?
You see, what I think is a little different. Telling people to avoid ‘middleclassnes’ isn’t a reminder to not forget the poor. It is a reminder not to forget radical ethnocentric behavior, to avoid the melting pot, to not become an ‘unhyphenated American’. For if you do that, then who will pay for the Rev. Wright’s new mansion?
– All class warfare, all the time. The Left eating its own shit, and demanding everyone just smile for the camera’s.
Question for Foo Bar: Would it be in our economic interest to round up the richest ten percent of the population, execute them, and take their stuff?
When people are asked to consider what is in their economic interests, some will only look at the short term effect of increasing this year’s income, while others may look at the long term effects of an action as well as its moral implications.
Second question: If we unpack what Obama means by voting against one’s economic interests, which one do you think he is asking us to do?
It is a reminder not to forget radical ethnocentric behavior, to avoid the melting pot
Sure, that’s what the quotes he’s offered say, but you can interpret them more kindly if you really squint hard and try.

Answer: you cannot, and the very concept demonstrates a condescension common to the left.
If Karl’s “Moreover, ” paragraph had instead been a paragraph that claimed that Rev. Wright insulted American’s middle class by exhorting his congregation to avoid middleclassness, I would not have left a comment. That is debatable, but not indisputably wrong. The paragraph in question, however, suggests that the disavowal of middleclassness in Obama’s church undermines Obama’s suggestion that voters should vote economics over values. This is wrong. The church’s tenets clearly state that there’s nothing wrong with pursuing or caring about having a good income.
Most of the responses to what I’ve said have been of the form “yeah, but here’s something else about what Obama or Wright said that I don’t like” and have not been a specific defense of the “Moreover, ” paragraph.
[…] noted earlier, Pennsylvania is not as bad off as Obama suggests. But McQ’s take, when juxtaposed with […]
– Foo Bar – Theism isn’t going anywhere because its an empty dead end ideology, and if you cling to it in your own brand of bitterness, you aren’t going anywhere either. Maybe you could try one of the Eastern cult movements. At least they claim to have some sort of value system.
– Every refuse has its price sparky, even the ones that are just cardboard and bright shinry objects.
– I’m with you Karl. “Refuse” is more apropos. Some typo’s are more equal than others.
Sure, so long as you remember to hate whitey and blame Them for everything wrong in your life.
just wanted to highlight this again from psycho…. was discussing this with RTO while walking the dog and he’d mentioned that anytime “class” is brought up, the little Marxist alarm bells should go off cause they’re the only ones concerned about that. I may have mangled that, that’s my interpretation of it. I think most of us don’t accept that there is a “middleclassness” in this country in particular.
Sure, so long as you remember to hate whitey and blame Them for everything wrong in your life.
And don’t think yourself better than the crackhead you had to step over to get into your apartment, or try to separate yourself from the rampant crime in your inner city neighborhood, or pull your children from the failing public schools, or deign to smile at your white coworkers. In other words, it’s okay to have a middleincome, as long as you don’t embrace the middleclass values that would produce it: pride, moral ambition, and a desire to better your lot in life.
As maggie highlighted psycho’s comment, the notion that someone who wrote as I have about Black Liberation Theology, not to mention spent years studying Russian culture and literature during the Cold War, does not understand communism is kinda laughable. The point has always been that I would like Obama to explain it to those voters whose values he is insulting.
For those who have missed it — as Foo Bar clearly has — here is what Obama’s church actually states on the issue:
If Obama wants to tell voters that making an income is okay, but that their value structure is a quasi-genocidal tool Whitey uses to destroy blacks, it’s fine by me.
The mansion from which he made those comments looks like the only place in the US where Marie Antoinette might have been comfortable living. It looks like a giant cake, in fact.
In that context his comments make sense.
would “accept the premise” be better? or doesn’t understand how it applies in the United States? cause I’m trying to figure that one out myself. so yeah, I agree it would be entertaining to hear Obama explain that one further.
more whining about statements that mean little or nothing.
the cheney/rove cabal has lied and lied for years.
wheres the outrage from rural voters about that.
i’m sorry .that is called acountablity,which we know
is not to be bothered with when you are dick or karl
I love that “disavowal”. The Manifesto is so damned useful in the age of word processors with search&replace functions.
But the best part is the irony.
Seducing them into a socioeconomic class system which while training them to earn more dollars, hypnotizes them into believing they are better than others and teaches them to think in terms of “we†and “they†instead of “usâ€Â…
So the “disavowal” ends in a near-canonical example of what it pretends to disavow. That sort of thing just sort of tickles me.

Ric
Wow. There must be a gravitational anomaly resulting from a signifcant torque generated by a source of precession inside WEB DuBois’ coffin given that use of the phrase “talented tenth.”
Dick, Obama misspoke. He needs to live up to and answer to that.

I doubt that very much.
He just forgot to obfuscate.
He didn’t forget to obfuscate. He just thought in that company it wouldn’t be necessary. You know, talking about those people. He just forgot that the microphone is always on.
The big dummy.
Obama’s a myopic goof who needs to get out more. Same with McCain. Hillary, I’ll give her the national sensibility.
– Hillery admittedly looked good, slamming Obama for his small minded elitist bigotry. Unfortunately she says exactly the same things when shes not in fly-over country.
– Has anyone in either campaign been told about modern high=speed communications yet?
– Damn its tough to make a living these days when your whole act is about class and race warfare propaganda.
The microphone is always on, even if you don’t see it; it is always on:
“We begin bombing in five minutes.”
“He’s a major-league asshole.”
The microphone is always on.
that hypnotizes the successful brother or sister into believing they are better than the rest and teaches them to think in terms of “we†and “they†instead of “US.â€Â
But, Obama, as a fellow American, I am your brother. I’m just not black. Stop shitting on me!
“We begin bombing in five minutes.â€Â
“He’s a major-league asshole.â€Â

Who care about Obama “bitter” comment. So what, you people are saying that you want to elect a liar and a deceiver which Hillary Clinton is. Bill and Hillary are liarer and deceiver,and people who support them are the same. John McClain is just an old duck with old ideas.He want be able to quack soon..lol. People who allow someone like Rush limbaugh or the media to decide who they should vote for instead of them making up their own decision,is nothing but a bunch of fulkies and losers. A lot of people esp. white are racism bigots,but don’t want to admit it,so they use or listen to their Uncle Tom New Media over some comment which the Hillary and her cheater huband Bill and the uncle tom media are taking out of context.
People don’t we have better things to deal with then to focus on something that doesn’t’ really mean anything. Let’s us deal with the most serious problem ike building up our school system for our future generation,gas prices,stopping crimes,racism,unemployment,housing crisis,the economy,unfair justice system,impreach crooked politicial leader,etc. Most men act like a bunch of bitches anyway–Maybe that why most women divorcing or leaving their butt.So real men let’s stop acting like little girls and let deal with the real issus like real men,and stop nagging with each other like little girls. I beleive a woman will make a great president,but not Hillary. She lies do u then,she will lie to you when she get into the white house. Remember her husband was an adulterous,cheater and a liar. Now this the kind of people you want leading this country,and what do u think the people of the world would think of us. “America elect a liar,deceiver,along with her cheating husband. “Wake-up people and smell the coffee.” before to late. The world is looking at us,and also laughing at us at the same time.
Off the meds, “joe4success”?
I remember a bartender once – she was a neat lady – she told me about her regulars – the ones at the bar every day bout the same time. They drank quite a bit and people could be judgey. She said you have to remember there were thems what drank just as much but did it at home, alone. These guys made it a point to get out and be in the world. Sometimes it’s ok just to applaud that. I understand that more better each passing year I think.
“As I read it, at least, it was a very simple argument taken directly from Scripture: `To whom much is given much is required,’†Obama said in the interview.
Which is a directive for Christian charity through the Church, not a mandate for forced income redistribution by the government. Jesus also said something along the lines of “render unto Caesar that which is Caesar’s, and render unto God that which is God’s”.
Classic methodology on control of captives teaches that captors must keep the captive ignorant educationally, but trained sufficiently well to serve the system.
That is where the Democrats are really fucking up, their captives have become too ignorant to vote.
FWIW – Skipping over DICK bohanon and joe4success’s comments will save you from a brain-pounding headache.
Guess so that’s we can watch more Baracky on them new LCD TV’s…? Oh, wait, we have to get our money and our chicks for free to get the MTV… that’s a little too middleincomeclassness I’m guessin’…
But JD, readin’ bohanan made me realize that Karl is Karl Rove! Who’d a thunk it?
Obama should be careful who he mocks. I just see him as one more arogant young man, with a slick tongue. He reminds me of every young opportunist that most of us have seen in our lifetimes that through guile, not skill or experience, gets all of teh opportunities, pulls ahead of the line. Never has to pay his dues, and keeps getting all of the rewards. We have all seen this slick shyster in our careers before. My vote istays with Senator Clinton. And in my opinion she is Annie Oakly compared to this pretentious young man. He seems to be a real opportunist, especially now talking about his moithers cancer now when it suits him and benefits him. When she was dying though he was no where around. I believe according to his books he was busy making his new political life with his pastor. What a huckster. He gets much credit for extremely little performance. I think the Country needs Senator Clinton. She is our last best greatest hope. .By the way how many times did this jerk mention “my writings” What an arrogant ?????? He is not Shakespere. Give me a break!!
Perhaps what he meant to say is that us “typical white folks” are bitter and stick to out religion and guns ( isn’t that a good thing)and are against illegal immigration because we are angry? ( Not that they are taking our jobs and stealing our futures?) This is what his limosine liberal friends are for because it is good for their companies, so that is what Obama will agree with. I would say that B. Hussein Obama has proven to me that he is a typical slick huckster,who has no idea what he is talking about and who I will not be voting for.someone tell him where PN is located please. It is not the Midwest.
OK I get it. we are going to hold Sen Obama to a different standard. Gee! I wonder why? I want you guys to understand this. If Sen Clinton is given this nomination dispite being behind in every category, I will never vote for another Democract in my life.
We are bitter! Just objectively read this blog. When a calamity strikes me I cling to my religion and I am angry at immigrants. They take all the jobs and generate all the crime. That’s why I purchased my first handgun last year. Of course all you people are angels and couldn’t possibly feel like me.
Obama’s efforts to connect to the Republican Party, specifically Bush, and Dick Cheney, of the Halliburton Company, dates back to the Presidents Grandfather, Prescott Bush, and indeed Cheney was once an executive officer of Halliburton.
The American military pounds Iraq with Artillary, bombs, and the like, destroying large sections of cities, and infra-structures, then Halliburton comes in to rebuild. Halliburton and Halliburton associated companies have raked in ten’s of billions.
Obama is just like the BIG HALIBURTAN. Haliburton has contracted to build detention centers in the U.S. similiar to the one in Quantanammo Bay, Cuba. Halliburton does nothing to earn the Two Dollars for each meal an American Serviceman in Iraq eats.
http://www.halliburtonwatch.org/
Halliburton was scheduled to take control of the Dubai Ports in The United Arab Emiirate. The deal was canceled when Bush was unable to affect the transfer of the American Ports.
Now we see what some might suspect as similiar financial escapading from the Democrats.
Two years ago, Iraq’s Ministry of Electricity gave a $50 million contract to a start-up security company – Companion- owned by now-indicted businessman (TONY REZKO) Tony Rezko and a onetime Chicago cop, Daniel T. Frawley, to train Iraqi power-plant guards in the United States. An Iraqi leadership change left the deal in limbo. Now the company, Companion Security, is working to revive its contract.
Involved along with Antoin “Tony†Rezco, long time friend and neighbor of Democratic Presidential hopeful Barack Obama, and former cop Daniel T. Frawley, is Aiham Alsammarae. Alsammarae was accused of financial corruption by Iraqi authorities and jailed in Iraq last year before escaping and returning here.
LIKE FATHER LIKE SON —
Recently, Obama’s campaign staff have been vetted by the IRS to disclose his connection to the criminal money generating underworld. Besides, his connections to the REZCO MAFIA types, his up-coming tax fraud charges  Obama needs to disclose why he is a MUSLIM “PATWANG-FWEEE” and disclose Obama’s MUSLIM Farrakhan mob connection to Chicago’s Trinity United Church of Christ. Its minister, and Obama’s spiritual adviser, is the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. In 1982, the church launched Trumpet Newsmagazine; Wright’s daughters serve as publisher and executive editor. Every year, the magazine makes awards in various categories. Last year, it gave the Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. Trumpeter Award to a man it said “truly epitomized greatness.” That man is Louis Farrakhan. Farrakhan and Chicago’s Trinity United Church are trumpeting Barack Obama AKA Barack Hussein Obama as the second coming of the messiah. Obama should stop suppoting our intervention in IRAQ. It’s time to introduce this false, fake Xerox – X box Obama and invite the self-indicting thief plagiarizing pipsqueke “GLORK” Xerox – X box to meet the Buffalo “GAZOWNT-GAZIKKA” Police Department Buffalo Creek.

OBAM YOU’RE NO JFK —
“GLORK” Obama looks like Alfred E. Newman: “Tales Calculated To Drive You.” He is a MUSLIM “Glork” He’s MAD!!! Alfred E. Neuman is the fictional mascot of Mad. The face had drifted through American pictography for decades before being claimed by Mad editor Harvey Kurtzman after he spotted it on the bulletin board in the office of Ballantine Books editor Bernard Shir-Cliff, later a contributor to various magazines created by Kurtzman.

Michelle Obama should be ashamed.
“GLORK” Michelle Obama should be ashamed of her separatist-racist connection to Farrakhan and Chicago’s Trinity United Church trumpeting Barack Obama AKA Barack Hussein Obama as the second coming of the messiah. Beneath that Darth-Vader-Mace-Windu-Jedi-Me ssiah Helmet hairdo of Michelle Obama lurks a Wildabeast. If Michelle Obama new what her husband — the Hope-A-Dope, Fonster Monster — Barack Obama AKA Barack Hussein Obama did in Harlem, she would wash her wide-open, Hus-suey loving MUSILM mouth out, with twenty-four (24) mule-team double-cross X-boX-BorraX. The Lexis Nexis Albatross Abacus Complex of Obama and Michelle’s relationship with MUSLIM “PATWANG-FWEEE” Rev. Wright, Louis Farrakhan, and black demagoguery is about as much of a Hoax as Oxfam volunteers believe in HIV– AIDS witch doctors in Africa they feed. If Barack Obama had married Shaniqua instead of Michelle, his jackenapes collegial elitism attraction would be taken a lot more seriously. Expectations are that Obama will manage his explosive MUSLIM JIHADI — FATIMA EXTREMISM obsession bitter.

THE SPEECH —
The Apologia has arrived and once again the self-indicting, separatist-racist Barack Obama AKA Barack Hussein Obama, promises to heal the wounds of the world. The speech is the rude awakening of mass messianism of his campaign. Apologetically, Obama the MUSLIM double-cross X-boX-BorraX has an astonishingly empty two-prawn echelon explanation of his misjudgment.
In the first prawn: with regard to his connection to separatist-racist Rev. Wright; Obama summons voodoo and juju to express slavery as beginning and ending with the Rev. Wright.
In the second prawn: Obama’s speech takes credit for Ashley’s dream. A dream of unity Martin Luther King, Jr. borrowed from Ashley for his historic “I Have A Dream” speech. In Obama’s speech, the connective bond Ashley, the elderly black man and Obama’s grandmother share; represents Obama’s self-indicting rise to the Harvard Yard. For Obama, the grand flag of language is the semi-fore of words, bestowed upon our nation by the messiah-alumni from Harvard. Obama’s Swoon-Song Apologia to the nation represents a failed hymn — a hymn that fails to heal the nation, repair the world, or make this time different than all the rest. Obama’s speech is a brilliant failure.

MUSLIM LIES —
The ILLIGITIAMTE MUSLIM MESSIA has blundered yet again!!! The self-indicting, separatist-racist Barack Obama AKA Barack Hussein Obama, lied about the politics of his campaign. The danger involved with this self-aggrandizing, -a-hoop, Hope-A-Dope, Fonster Monster — Barack Obama AKA Barack Hussein Obama is that — “Like Father Like Son” Obama is constantly wanting to impress America with “…his incapacity for sound judgment.” In 2005, Sen. Obama voted for the Dick Cheney energy bill, which Cheney wrote in secret with the oil industry. Hillary Clinton opposed Cheney’s energy bill, has a plan to eliminate oil industry tax breaks, and would require oil companies to contribute to a $50 billion strategic energy fund to jump-start research and investment in clean energy technologies. On top of the horrible crime Obama executed in Harlem, the fact is, we have to hear it from Karl Rove about Obama’s latest Campaign Crisis: “GLORK” Top Ten Obama Lies:
1. Obam said his parents met at the Selma march — Reality: He was born 4 years before that.
2. Obam said he was a constitutional law professor — Reality: . . . Obama Made This False Claim In His 2004 Senate Race. “Several direct-mail pieces issued for Obama’s primary [Senate] campaign said he was a law professor at the University of Chicago. He is not. He is a senior lecturer (now on leave) at the school..
3. Obam said he spoke fluent Indonesian as a child — Reality: . . . Obama has claimed on numerous occasions to have become fluent in Indonesian in six months. Yet another Phi Beta Krakatau lie from Obama. Those who knew him disputed that during recent interviews. Israel la Pareira Darmawan, Obama’s 1st-grade teacher, said she attempted to help him learn the Indonesian language by going over pronunciation and vowel sounds. Truth-be-told: Obama’s Indonesian teachers say Kaku-Pooh.
4. Obam said he was involved in community asbestos and housing project for the poor — Reality: Didn’t happen. This was the basis for Barack and Michelle’s claim, that he was a community activist on the South and East Side of Chicago. Usher United Arab Emirates (UAE) A+ lie both he and his twenty-four (24) mule-team, Hus-suey loving wife Michelle Obama have been claiming in the campaign — Reality: The Chicago Newspaper’s Obelus — Kiss-A-Cuss:…NO-MAMA.
5. Obam said in his book that he received his racial awakening at age nine reading a Life/Ebony Magazine story about a black man who was scarred trying to dye his skin white — Reality: Didn’t happen. Both Magazines (Life and Ebony), and the Rev. Wright and Farrakhan MUSLIM Trumpet Newsmagazine say, just didn’t happen.
6. Obam’s Campaign Didn’t Have The “Technical Capacity†To Produce The “1984†Ad:
Obama: “But it’s not something that we had anything to do with or were aware of and that frankly, given what it looks like, we don’t have the technical capacity to create something like that.†(CNN’s “Larry King Live,†3/24/07) — Reality:…The Creator Admitted All It Took Was A “Sunday Afternoon†On His Mac. Phillip de Vellis: “I made the ad on a Sunday afternoon in my apartment using my personal equipment (a Mac and some software), uploaded it to YouTube, and sent links around to blogs.â€Â
7. Obam’s Campaign Claimed His High School Friend Tried To Extort Money From Them:
“According To The Obama Campaign, [Obama’s Punahou Classmate Keith] Kakugawa Explicitly Raised The Possibility That He Could Make Up False Stories About Obama, Implying He Would Do So If The Campaign Did Not Give Him Money.†(Maurice Possley, Kirsten Scharnberg and Ray Gibson, — Reality: “…An Old Friend’s Troublesome Return,†Chicago Tribune, 3/25/07).
8. Obam voted to bring low-cost foreign labor into New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina — Reality:…This was a slap in the face against the African-Americans who were displaced in that city. Obama also voted to place Michael Chertoff, the man responsible for the Katrina catastrophe, in charge of Homeland Security. Obama voted for Senate-Bills that gave Blackwater the funding they needed to shoot the folks of New Orleans who were only trying to save their own lives. The towel head voted to allow Michael Chertoff to waive all applicable laws, including murder, torture, kidnaping, and he suppoted water-boarding.
9. Obam voted more than five times for USA-PATRIOT ACT renewal — Reality:…This is a Senate-Bill patently offensive to most Americans. City after city has passed resolutions condemning USA-PATRIOT ACT. Obama chose to side with tyranny over freedom and Bush over the folks on this issue. The Real ID Act, which would allow Michael Chertoff to declare martial law and imprison Americans, was supported by Obama, as noted above.
10. Obam is not a MAD MAN. Senator Obama Is not involved along with Antoin “Tony†Rezco, long time friend and neighbor, now-indicted businessman (TONY REZKO), or Tony Rezko and a onetime Chicago cop, Daniel T. Frawley. Senator Obama is not involved in any nuclear security, bribery, money payoffs, or cronyism in the state of Illinois; or criminal activities related to the BIG HALIBURTAN and V.P. Cheney’s Halliburton bribery case; or any political misjudgment in his escalating campaign crisis. “GLORK” Senator Obama is not a self-indicting thief plagiarizing pipsqueke Xerox – X box. Obama executed no crime in Harlem. Obama is Not America’s Poison — Reality:…He’s Radio-Active.

SOULJAH JIHAD — OBAMA CAMPAIGN CRISIS
The Republicans’ disengagement (media bias), if not disillusionment, with the economic campaign issues is borne out by the fact that many more Republicans are able to explain, extinguish, and excoriate the name Barrack Obama with the term (JIHAD), than can name Bush/Dick Cheney and McCain — as the Big Oil — BIG HALLIBURTAN politicians expanding GOP IRAQ WAR ideology, and Republican White House Party Elders’ GI Bill of Rights for the 21st century IRAQ WAR ECONOMY. Even among Republicans, Clinton is much more visible than GOP presumptive candidate John McCain towards affecting positively the important economic issues facing America’s middle class economy.
When asked who they would vote for in the general election for president of the United States, the natural pendulum swing in America is 79% of Republicans named Hillary Clinton as their choice. Reasons for Obama’s Campaign Crisis “GLORK” Campaign Crisis include:
“Obama has more holes in him than Swiss-Cheese.” (CNN’s “Politics.com,†4/01/08)
Obama’s presidential campaign has received $2,812,336 from firms that employ registered federal lobbyists. [fec.gov]
Obama has taken $405,747 from the Pharmaceutical industry. [opensecrets.org]
Obama has received $1,185,937 from the Commercial Banking industry. [opensecrets.org]
Obama has received over six million dollars from the Securities & Investment industry. [opensecrets.org]

WASHINGTON  Obama’s support among Democrats nationally has softened.
“GLORK” Sen. Barack Obama’s support among Democrats nationally has softened over the last month, particularly among men and upper-income voters, as voters have taken a slightly less positive view of him than they did after his burst of victories in February, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News poll.
The survey suggests that Mr. Obama, Democrat of Illinois, may have been at something of a peak in February, propelled by a string of primary and caucus victories over Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York, and that perceptions of him are dramatically trending downward.
Mr. Obama’s favorability rating among Democratic primary voters has dropped seventeen percentage points, to 42 percent, since the last Times/CBS News survey, in late February. While that figure is steadily declining, this dramatic decline came in a month during which he endured withering attacks from Mrs. Clinton and responded to reports that his former pastor had made politically inflammatory statements from his church’s pulpit in Chicago, and swirling questions about what Barack Obama did in Harlem.
The events of the last month appear to have fundamentally altered the race for the party’s nomination and provided what Mrs. Clinton’s campaign has been seeking: evidence of a collapse in Mr. Obama’s standing or an overwhelming preference voiced for Mrs. Clinton by Democratic and Republican voters in polls: — developments in Obama’s ongoing Campaign Crisis, that could be used to persuade uncommitted super-delegates to sign on with Hillary Clinton.
Twenty-six percent of the general electorate voters who heard of the Apologia speech that Mr. Obama the self-indicting, separatist-racist Barack Obama AKA Barack Hussein Obama gave to try to deal with the controversy over Obama’s separatist-racist connection to Farrakhan and Chicago’s Trinity United Church trumpeting Barack Obama AKA Barack Hussein Obama as the second coming of the messiah, said it made them dislike him. And 74 percent of Democrats and Republicans said Mr. Obama’s Campaign Crisis “GLORK” Campaign Crisis stems from the fact that he shows continued misjudgment for even the most challenging problems. Mr. Obama lacks the decisive capability to lead, willingness to listen, conviction and courage. Mr. Obama uses false charges and exaggerated claims to play politics with national security. Mr. Obama lied about the politics of his campaign, and knew about Rev. Wright’s MUSLIM Farrakhan – JIHADI — FATIMA EXTREMIST mob connection to Chicago’s Trinity United Church of Christ.

Fact Check: Sen. Obama on Lobbyists —
“When it comes to lobbyists, Senator Obama’s words might sound nice but voters need to make sure they read the fine print. Despite trying to give the impression that he has no relationship with lobbyists or special interests, the reality is that Senator Obama takes money from people who hire lobbyists, partners of lobbyists, spouses of lobbyists, former lobbyists and state lobbyists.†–Statement from Clinton Deputy Communications Director, Phil Singer
Sen. Obama Has Ties to Lobbyists in His Presidential Bid
Public Citizen: 10 of Sen. Obama’s bundlers have been federal lobbyists. The Public Citizen report listed the following ten bundlers for Sen. Obama who have registered as federal lobbyists: Frank Clark, Commonwealth Edison; Scott Harris, Harris Wiltshire and Grannis; Allan J. Katz, Akerman Senterfitt; Robert S. Litt, Arnold & Porter; Thomas J. Perrelli, Jenner and Block; Thomas A. Reed, Kirkpatrick & Lockhart Preston Gates Ellis LLP; Paul N. Roth, Schulte Roth & Zabel; Miriam Sapiro, Summit Strategies; Alan Solomont, Solomont Bailis Ventures; and Tom E. Wheeler, Core Capital Partners. [Public Citizen, 1/29/08]
Sen. Obama takes money from employees of firms that lobby and has lobbyists as advisers. “But those who lobby for a living say it’s not that simple, and even Obama’s stance shows some flexibility. He won’t take money from federal lobbyists but accepts money from employees of firms and corporations that lobby, and he uses lobbyists and other government relations professionals as advisers… Obama has also used major fundraisers who are registered lobbyists on the state level. And he uses registered federal lobbyists such as Broderick Johnson, who lobbies for AT&T and Shell Oil, among others, as a campaign adviser. Because Johnson isn’t giving money to Obama, his name won’t show up in Federal Election Commission records.” [Chicago Tribune, 2/10/08]
Bloomberg: Five of [Obama’s] ten biggest sources of funds are groups of employees at law firms that lobby in Washington. “While Obama doesn’t accept money from registered federal lobbyists, five of his 10 biggest sources of funds are groups of employees at law firms that lobby in Washington…Among Obama’s top donors were employees of the Chicago-based law firm of Sidley Austin LLP, who gave $105,750 in the first quarter. The firm was paid $4.5 million last year” for lobbying the federal government. [Bloomberg, 6/7/07]

Prior to His Presidential Campaign, Sen. Obama took Money from Lobbyists and PACs
1996-2004: $296,000 of the $461,000 Sen. Obama raised as a state senator came from PACs, corporate contributions or unions. “But behind Obama’s campaign rhetoric about taking on special interests lies a more complicated truth. A Globe review of Obama’s campaign finance records shows that he collected hundreds of thousands of dollars from lobbyists and PACs as a state legislator in Illinois, a US senator, and a presidential aspirant. In Obama’s eight years in the Illinois Senate, from 1996 to 2004, almost two-thirds of the money he raised for his campaigns — $296,000 of $461,000 — came from PACs, corporate contributions, or unions, according to Illinois Board of Elections records. He tapped financial services firms, real estate developers, healthcare providers, oil companies, and many other corporate interests, the records show.” [Boston Globe, 8/9/07]
In his 2004 U.S. Senate race, Sen. Obama raised $128,000 from lobbyists and $1.3 million from PACs. “Obama’s US Senate campaign committee, starting with his successful run in 2004, has collected $128,000 from lobbyists and $1.3 million from PACs, according to the Center for Responsive Politics, a nonprofit organization that tracks money in politics. His $1.3 million from PACs represents 8 percent of what he has raised overall.” [Boston Globe, 8/9/07]

[…] noted earlier, Pennsylvania is not as bad off economically as Obama or these pundits seem to […]
Obama’s efforts to connect to the Republican Party, specifically Bush, and Dick Cheney, of the Halliburton Company, dates back to the Presidents Grandfather, Prescott Bush, and indeed Cheney was once an executive officer of Halliburton.
The American military pounds Iraq with Artillary, bombs, and the like, destroying large sections of cities, and infra-structures, then Halliburton comes in to rebuild. Halliburton and Halliburton associated companies have raked in ten’s of billions.
Obama is just like the BIG HALIBURTAN. Haliburton has contracted to build detention centers in the U.S. similiar to the one in Quantanammo Bay, Cuba. Halliburton does nothing to earn the Two Dollars for each meal an American Serviceman in Iraq eats.
http://www.halliburtonwatch.org/
Halliburton was scheduled to take control of the Dubai Ports in The United Arab Emiirate. The deal was canceled when Bush was unable to affect the transfer of the American Ports.
Now we see what some might suspect as similiar financial escapading from the Democrats.
Two years ago, Iraq’s Ministry of Electricity gave a $50 million contract to a start-up security company – Companion- owned by now-indicted businessman (TONY REZKO) Tony Rezko and a onetime Chicago cop, Daniel T. Frawley, to train Iraqi power-plant guards in the United States. An Iraqi leadership change left the deal in limbo. Now the company, Companion Security, is working to revive its contract.
Involved along with Antoin “Tony†Rezco, long time friend and neighbor of Democratic Presidential hopeful Barack Obama, and former cop Daniel T. Frawley, is Aiham Alsammarae. Alsammarae was accused of financial corruption by Iraqi authorities and jailed in Iraq last year before escaping and returning here.
LIKE FATHER LIKE SON —
Recently, Obama’s campaign staff have been vetted by the IRS to disclose his connection to the criminal money generating underworld. Besides, his connections to the REZCO MAFIA types, his up-coming Tax Fraud charges  Obama needs to disclose why he is a MUSLIM “PATWANG-FWEEE” and disclose Obama’s MUSLIM Farrakhan mob connection to Chicago’s Trinity United Church of Christ. Its minister, and Obama’s spiritual adviser, is the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. In 1982, the church launched Trumpet Newsmagazine; Wright’s daughters serve as publisher and executive editor. Every year, the magazine makes awards in various categories. Last year, it gave the Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. Trumpeter Award to a man it said “truly epitomized greatness.” That man is Louis Farrakhan. Farrakhan and Chicago’s Trinity United Church are trumpeting Barack Obama AKA Barack Hussein Obama as the second coming of the messiah. Obama should stop suppoting our intervention in IRAQ. It’s time to introduce this false, fake Xerox – X box Obama and invite the self-indicting thief plagiarizing pipsqueke “GLORK” Xerox – X box to meet the Buffalo “GAZOWNT-GAZIKKA” Police Department Buffalo Creek. He is MAD!!! —
OBAM YOU’RE NO JFK —
“GLORK” Obama looks like Alfred E. Newman: “Tales Calculated To Drive You.” He is a MUSLIM “Glork” He’s MAD!!! Alfred E. Neuman is the fictional mascot of Mad. The face had drifted through American pictography for decades before being claimed by Mad editor Harvey Kurtzman after he spotted it on the bulletin board in the office of Ballantine Books editor Bernard Shir-Cliff, later a contributor to various magazines created by Kurtzman.
Obama needs to disclose why he is a MUSLIM “PATWANG-FWEEE” and stop suppoting our intervention in IRAQ. It’s time to introduce this false, fake “GLORK” Xerox – X box Obama and invite the self-indicting thief plagiarizing pipsqueke Xerox – X box to meet the Buffalo “GAZOWNT-GAZIKKA” Police Department Buffalo Creek.
Michelle Obama should be ashamed.
“GLORK” Michelle Obama should be ashamed of her separatist-racist connection to Farrakhan and Chicago’s Trinity United Church trumpeting Barack Obama AKA Barack Hussein Obama as the second coming of the messiah. Beneath that Darth-Vader-Mace-Windu-Jedi-Me ssiah Helmet Hairdo of Michelle Obama lurks a Wildabeast. If Michelle Obama new what her husband — the Hope-A-Dope, Fonster Monster — Barack Obama AKA Barack Hussein Obama did in Harlem, she would wash her wide-open, Hus-suey loving MUSILM mouth out, with twenty-four (24) mule-team double-cross X-boX-BorraX. The Lexis-Nexis-Albatross-Abacus-Complex of Barack and Michelle’s relationship with MUSLIM “PATWANG-FWEEE” Rev. Wright, Louis Farrakhan, and black demagoguery of Obama’s Stump Lines Echo Malcolm X; is about as much of a Hoax as Oxfam volunteers believe in HIV– AIDS Witch Doctors in Africa they feed.
“God damn America” – Jeremiah Wright and Barack Obama.
“God bless America” – Pope Benedict XVI and Hillary Clinton —
If Barack Obama had married Shaniqua instead of the leftist-separatist-racist-beast-‘ist Michelle, his jackanapes’ excitedly-fixed-elitism, Nemet-Oure-Saxas-Our-Father-Our-King– black rage, and “GLORK” black demagoguery of Obama’s Stump Lines Echo Malcolm X; would be taken a lot more expeditiously. Expectations are that Obama will manage his explosive MUSLIM JIHADI — FATIMA EXTREMISM obsession bitter. He is a MUSLIM “Glork” It’s time to introduce this false, fake “GLORK” Xerox – X box Obama and invite the self-indicting thief plagiarizing pipsqueke Xerox – X box to meet the Buffalo “GAZOWNT-GAZIKKA” Police Department Buffalo Creek. He’s MAD!!!

THE SPEECH —
The Apologia has arrived and once again the self-indicting, separatist-racist Barack Obama AKA Barack Hussein Obama, promises to heal the wounds of the world. The speech is the rude awakening of mass messianism of his campaign. Apologetically, Obama the MUSLIM double-cross X-boX-BorraX has an astonishingly empty two-prawn echelon explanation of his misjudgment.
In the first prawn: with regard to his connection to separatist-racist Rev. Wright; Obama summons voodoo and juju to express slavery as beginning and ending with the Rev. Wright.
In the second prawn: Obama’s speech takes credit for Ashley’s dream. A dream of unity Martin Luther King, Jr. borrowed from Ashley for his historic “I Have A Dream” speech. In Obama’s speech, the connective bond Ashley, the elderly black man and Obama’s grandmother share; represents Obama’s self-indicting rise to the Harvard Yard. For Obama, the grand flag of language is the semi-fore of words, bestowed upon our nation by the messiah-alumni from Harvard. Obama’s Swoon-Song Apologia to the nation represents a failed hymn — a hymn that fails to heal the nation, repair the world, or make this time different than all the rest. Obama’s speech is a brilliant failure.

MUSLIM LIES —
The ILLIGITIAMTE MUSLIM MESSIA has blundered yet again!!! The self-indicting, separatist-racist Barack Obama AKA Barack Hussein Obama, lied about the politics of his campaign.

WASHINGTON  Obama’s support among Democrats nationally has softened.
“GLORK” Sen. Barack Obama’s support among Democrats nationally has softened over the last month, particularly among men and upper-income voters, as voters have taken a slightly less positive view of him than they did after his burst of victories in February, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News poll.

While that figure is steadily declining, this dramatic decline came in a month during which he endured withering attacks from Mrs. Clinton, and responded to reports that his exiled former pastor had made politically inflammatory statements from his church’s pulpit in Chicago, and swirling questions about what Barack Obama did in Harlem — from which he cannot extricate himself.
The events of the last month appear to have fundamentally altered the race for the party’s nomination and provided Mrs. Clinton’s campaign extensive evidence of a collapse in Mr. Obama’s standing or an overwhelming preference voiced for Mrs. Clinton by Democratic and Republican voters in polls: — perplexing developments in Obama’s ongoing Campaign Crisis, that could be used to persuade uncommitted super-delegates to sign on with Hillary Clinton.
Twenty-six percent of the general electorate voters who heard of the Apologia speech that Mr. Obama the self-indicting, separatist-racist Barack Obama AKA Barack Hussein Obama gave to try to deal with the controversy over Obama’s separatist-racist connection to Farrakhan and Chicago’s Trinity United Church trumpeting Barack Obama AKA Barack Hussein Obama as the second coming of the messiah, said it made them dislike him. And 74 percent of Democrats and Republicans said Mr. Obama’s Campaign Crisis “GLORK” Campaign Crisis “God damn America” – Jeremiah Wright and Barack Obama. “God bless America” – Pope Benedict XVI and Hillary Clinton….stems from the fact that he shows continued misjudgment for even the most challenging problems. Next, the overall opinion of people in the news this year; Mr. Obama lacks the decisive capability to lead, willingness to listen, conviction and courage. Mr. Obama is no Alexander Manly when it comes to sexist-racist issues, and he uses false charges and exaggerated hate-the Saxon-race claims to play politics with national security.
For a United States Senator, Barack Obama has been doing a lot of explaining about the company he has kept for the last 17 years or so. A politician can not chose the family he has. However; he can chose the pastor he keeps. The Rev. Jeremiah Wright has influenced Mr. Obama’s liberal-elitist-separatist-racist views on a variety of subjects. This may be what happened to Obama over the years, as his MUSLIM radicalism and demonize the White-Saxon-race, may expel the same Rev. Wright belief; that America and its US allies brought on 9/11. In a sincere re-examination of his world-view, Obama’s Mea Culpa-Apologia says this guy is like an uncle to him. But shouldn’t his long term relationship with this despicable character call into question at the very least Obama’s judgment? From Waxahache, TX, to Axis-of-Evil, Mr. Obama lied about the politics of his campaign, and knew about Rev. Wright’s MUSLIM Militant Farrakhan Malcolm X Mosque No. 7 – JIHADI — FATIMA EXTREMIST mob connection to Chicago’s Trinity United Church of Christ.

Sen. Obama takes money from employees of firms that lobby and has lobbyists as advisers. “But those who lobby for a living say it’s not that simple, and even Obama’s stance shows some flexibility. He won’t take money from federal lobbyists but accepts money from employees of firms and corporations that lobby, and he uses lobbyists and other government relations professionals as advisers… Obama has also used major fundraisers who are registered lobbyists on the state level. And he uses registered federal lobbyists such as Broderick Johnson, who lobbies for AT&T and Shell Oil, among others, as a campaign adviser. Because Johnson isn’t giving money to Obama, his name won’t show up in Federal Election Commission records.” [Chicago Tribune, 2/10/08]

Obama’s efforts to connect to the Republican Party, specifically Bush, and Dick Cheney, of the Halliburton Company, dates back to the Presidents Grandfather, Prescott Bush, and indeed Cheney was once an executive officer of Halliburton.
The American military pounds Iraq with Artillary, bombs, and the like, destroying large sections of cities, and infra-structures, then Halliburton comes in to rebuild. Halliburton and Halliburton associated companies have raked in ten’s of billions.
Obama is just like the BIG HALIBURTAN. Haliburton has contracted to build detention centers in the U.S. similiar to the one in Quantanammo Bay, Cuba. Halliburton does nothing to earn the Two Dollars for each meal an American Serviceman in Iraq eats.
http://www.halliburtonwatch.org/
Halliburton was scheduled to take control of the Dubai Ports in The United Arab Emiirate. The deal was canceled when Bush was unable to affect the transfer of the American Ports.
Now we see what some might suspect as similiar financial escapading from the Democrats.
Two years ago, Iraq’s Ministry of Electricity gave a $50 million contract to a start-up security company – Companion- owned by now-indicted businessman (TONY REZKO) Tony Rezko and a onetime Chicago cop, Daniel T. Frawley, to train Iraqi power-plant guards in the United States. An Iraqi leadership change left the deal in limbo. Now the company, Companion Security, is working to revive its contract.
Involved along with Antoin “Tony†Rezco, long time friend and neighbor of Democratic Presidential hopeful Barack Obama, and former cop Daniel T. Frawley, is Aiham Alsammarae. Alsammarae was accused of financial corruption by Iraqi authorities and jailed in Iraq last year before escaping and returning here.
LIKE FATHER LIKE SON —
Recently, Obama’s campaign staff have been vetted by the IRS to disclose his connection to the criminal money generating underworld. Besides, his connections to the REZCO MAFIA types, his up-coming Tax Fraud charges  Obama needs to disclose why he is a MUSLIM “PATWANG-FWEEE” and disclose Obama’s MUSLIM Farrakhan mob connection to Chicago’s Trinity United Church of Christ. Its minister, and Obama’s spiritual adviser, is the Rev. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. In 1982, the church launched Trumpet Newsmagazine; Wright’s daughters serve as publisher and executive editor. Every year, the magazine makes awards in various categories. Last year, it gave the Dr. Jeremiah A. Wright Jr. Trumpeter Award to a man it said “truly epitomized greatness.” That man is Louis Farrakhan. Farrakhan and Chicago’s Trinity United Church are trumpeting Barack Obama AKA Barack Hussein Obama as the second coming of the messiah. Obama should stop suppoting our intervention in IRAQ. It’s time to introduce this false, fake Xerox – X box Obama and invite the self-indicting thief plagiarizing pipsqueke “GLORK” Xerox – X box to meet the Buffalo “GAZOWNT-GAZIKKA” Police Department Buffalo Creek. He is MAD!!! —
OBAM YOU’RE NO JFK —
“GLORK” Obama looks like Alfred E. Newman: “Tales Calculated To Drive You.” He is a MUSLIM “Glork” He’s MAD!!! Alfred E. Neuman is the fictional mascot of Mad. The face had drifted through American pictography for decades before being claimed by Mad editor Harvey Kurtzman after he spotted it on the bulletin board in the office of Ballantine Books editor Bernard Shir-Cliff, later a contributor to various magazines created by Kurtzman.
Obama needs to disclose why he is a MUSLIM “PATWANG-FWEEE” and stop suppoting our intervention in IRAQ. It’s time to introduce this false, fake “GLORK” Xerox – X box Obama and invite the self-indicting thief plagiarizing pipsqueke Xerox – X box to meet the Buffalo “GAZOWNT-GAZIKKA” Police Department Buffalo Creek.
Michelle Obama should be ashamed.
“GLORK” Michelle Obama should be ashamed of her separatist-racist connection to Farrakhan and Chicago’s Trinity United Church trumpeting Barack Obama AKA Barack Hussein Obama as the second coming of the messiah. Beneath that Darth-Vader-Mace-Windu-Jedi-Me ssiah Helmet Hairdo of Michelle Obama lurks a Wildabeast. If Michelle Obama new what her husband — the Hope-A-Dope, Fonster Monster — Barack Obama AKA Barack Hussein Obama did in Harlem, she would wash her wide-open, Hus-suey loving MUSILM mouth out, with twenty-four (24) mule-team double-cross X-boX-BorraX. The Lexis-Nexis-Albatross-Abacus-Complex of Barack and Michelle’s relationship with MUSLIM “PATWANG-FWEEE” Rev. Wright, Louis Farrakhan, and black demagoguery of Obama’s Stump Lines Echo Malcolm X; is about as much of a Hoax as Oxfam volunteers believe in HIV– AIDS Witch Doctors in Africa they feed.
“God damn America” – Jeremiah Wright and Barack Obama.
“God bless America” – Pope Benedict XVI and Hillary Clinton —
Michelle Obama AKA Wildabeast — failed the Illinois Bar Exam. If Barack Obama had married Shaniqua instead of the leftist-separatist-racist-beast-‘ist Michelle, his jackanapes’ excitedly-fixed-elitism, Nemet-Oure-Saxas-Our-Father-Our-King– black rage, and “GLORK” black demagoguery of Obama’s Stump Lines Echo Malcolm X; would be taken a lot more expeditiously. Its expected that Obam will manage his explosive MUSLIM JIHADI — FATIMA EXTREMISM obsession bitter. He is a MUSLIM “Glork” It’s time to introduce this false, fake “GLORK” Xerox – X box Obama and invite the self-indicting thief plagiarizing pipsqueke Xerox – X box to meet the Buffalo “GAZOWNT-GAZIKKA” Police Department Buffalo Creek. He’s MAD!!!

THE SPEECH —
The Apologia has arrived and once again the self-indicting, separatist-racist Barack Obama AKA Barack Hussein Obama, promises to heal the wounds of the world. The speech is the rude awakening of mass messianism of his campaign. Apologetically, Obama the MUSLIM double-cross X-boX-BorraX has an astonishingly empty two-prawn echelon explanation of his misjudgment.
In the first prawn: with regard to his connection to separatist-racist Rev. Wright; Obama summons voodoo and juju to express slavery as beginning and ending with the Rev. Wright.
In the second prawn: Obama’s speech takes credit for Ashley’s dream. A dream of unity Martin Luther King, Jr. borrowed from Ashley for his historic “I Have A Dream” speech. In Obama’s speech, the connective bond Ashley, the elderly black man and Obama’s grandmother share; represents Obama’s self-indicting rise to the Harvard Yard. For Obama, the grand flag of language is the semi-fore of words, bestowed upon our nation by the messiah-alumni from Harvard. Obama’s Swoon-Song Apologia to the nation represents a failed hymn — a hymn that fails to heal the nation, repair the world, or make this time different than all the rest. Obama’s speech is a brilliant failure.

MUSLIM LIES —
The ILLIGITIAMTE MUSLIM MESSIA has blundered yet again!!! The self-indicting, separatist-racist Barack Obama AKA Barack Hussein Obama, lied about the politics of his campaign. The danger involved with this self-aggrandizing, -a-hoop, Hope-A-Dope, Fonster Monster — Barack Obama AKA Barack Hussein Obama is that — “Like Father Like Son” Obama is constantly wanting to impress America with “…his incapacity for sound judgment.” In 2005, Sen. Obama voted for the Dick Cheney energy bill, which Cheney wrote in secret with the oil industry. Hillary Clinton opposed Cheney’s energy bill, has a plan to eliminate oil industry tax breaks, and would require oil companies to contribute to a $50 billion strategic energy fund to jump-start research and investment in clean energy technologies. On top of the horrible crime Obama executed in Harlem, the fact is, we have to hear it from Karl Rove about Obama’s latest Campaign Crisis.
“GLORK” Top Ten Obama Lies:
1. Obam said his parents met at the Selma march — Reality: He was born 4 years before that.
2. Obam said he was a constitutional law professor — Reality: . . . Obama Made This False Claim In His 2004 Senate Race. “Several direct-mail pieces issued for Obama’s primary [Senate] campaign said he was a law professor at the University of Chicago. He is not. He is a senior lecturer (now on leave) at the school..
3. Obam said he spoke fluent Indonesian as a child — Reality: . . . Obama has claimed on numerous occasions to have become fluent in Indonesian in six months. Yet another Phi Beta Krakatau lie from Obama. Those who knew him disputed that during recent interviews. Israel la Pareira Darmawan, Obama’s 1st-grade teacher, said she attempted to help him learn the Indonesian language by going over pronunciation and vowel sounds. Truth-be-told: Obama’s Indonesian teachers say Kaku-Pooh.
4. Obam said he was involved in community asbestos and housing project for the poor — Reality: . . . Didn’t happen. This was the basis for Barack and Michelle’s claim, that he was a community activist on the South and East Side of Chicago. Usher United Arab Emirates (UAE) A+ lie both he and his twenty-four (24) mule-team, Hus-suey loving wife Michelle Obama have been claiming in the campaign — Reality: The Chicago Newspaper’s Obelus — Kiss-A-Cuss:…NO-MAMA.
5. Obam said in his book that he received his racial awakening at age nine reading a Life/Ebony Magazine story about a black man who was scarred trying to dye his skin white — Reality: . . . Didn’t happen. Both Magazines (Life and Ebony), and the Rev. Wright and Farrakhan MUSLIM Trumpet Newsmagazine say, just didn’t happen.
6. Obam’s Campaign Didn’t Have The “Technical Capacity†To Produce The “1984†Ad:
Obama: “But it’s not something that we had anything to do with or were aware of and that frankly, given what it looks like, we don’t have the technical capacity to create something like that.†(CNN’s “Larry King Live,†3/24/07) — Reality:…The Creator Admitted All It Took Was A “Sunday Afternoon†On His Mac. Phillip de Vellis: “I made the ad on a Sunday afternoon in my apartment using my personal equipment (a Mac and some software), uploaded it to YouTube, and sent links around to blogs.â€Â
7. Obam’s Campaign Claimed His High School Friend Tried To Extort Money From Them:
“According To The Obama Campaign, [Obama’s Punahou Classmate Keith] Kakugawa Explicitly Raised The Possibility That He Could Make Up False Stories About Obama, Implying He Would Do So If The Campaign Did Not Give Him Money.†(Maurice Possley, Kirsten Scharnberg and Ray Gibson, — Reality: “…An Old Friend’s Troublesome Return,†Chicago Tribune, 3/25/07).
8. Obam voted to bring low-cost foreign labor into New Orleans after Hurricane Katrina — Reality: . . . This was a slap in the face against the African-Americans who were displaced in that city. Obama also voted to place Michael Chertoff, the man responsible for the Katrina catastrophe, in charge of Homeland Security. Obama voted for Senate-Bills that gave Blackwater the funding they needed to shoot the folks of New Orleans who were only trying to save their own lives. Inextricably, the towel head voted to allow Michael Chertoff to waive all applicable laws, including murder, torture, kidnaping, and he suppoted water-boarding.
9. Obam voted more than five times for USA-PATRIOT ACT renewal — Reality: . . . This is a Senate-Bill patently offensive to most Americans. City after city has passed resolutions condemning USA-PATRIOT ACT. Passively or reflexively, Obama chose to side with tyranny over freedom and Bush over the folks on this issue. The Real ID Act, which would allow Michael Chertoff to declare martial law and imprison Americans, was supported by ex-patriot Obama, as noted above.
10. Obam is not a MAD MAN. Sen. Obama has not exaggerated the disconnection with . . .”The Lord God, merciful and gracious, long-suffering, and abundant in goodness and truth” –Ex. xxxiv. 6; or extolled his venomous-vexatious-Vesuvius MUSLIM madrassahs’-faux-pas on us. Sen. Obama Is not involved along with Antoin “Tony†Rezco, long time friend and neighbor, now-indicted businessman (TONY REZKO); or Tony Rezko and a onetime Chicago cop, Daniel T. Frawley. Sen. Obama is not involved with- nor has Sen. Obama exhibited any nuclear security, bribery, money payoffs, or cronyism in the state of Illinois; or criminal activities related to the BIG HALIBURTAN and V.P. Cheney’s Halliburton bribery case; or any political misjudgment in his escalating Campaign Crisis. Sen. Obama does not take money from people who hire lobbyists, partners of lobbyists, spouses of lobbyists, former lobbyists or state lobbyists. “GLORK” Sen. Obama Is not involved with any Hoax or Oxfam volunteers and HIV– AIDS Witch Doctors in Africa they feed. Sen. Obama is not associated with Exiled “God damn America” SOULJAH JIHAD — Rev. Jeremiah Wright, MUSLIM EXTREMIST Malcolm X KillA — Louis Farrakhan and black-rage demagoguery; or Obama’s Mea Culpa-Apologia; or Stump Lines Echo Malcolm X; Sen. Obama has not exulted the virtue of being an aggrieved black man. Sen. Obama does not accept political contributions from terrorists. Sen. Obama has not expressed the troublesome sub-text of the October Surprise: “X-Files” — The 1980 election scandal exposed… the extraneous-demon-us-venomous anger driven association between Obama and aging [VX] Vietnam-era Weather Underground Radical Terrorist William Ayers. Sen. Obama has not expressed the troublesome sub-text of the November Surprise: “X-X-Files” — The 2008 election scandal exposed… the extraneous-demon-us-venomous anger driven association between Obama and 501-(C)-Shaddy-Sharpton-Semilunar-Crescent of Allah Islam and Solar-Solecism-Sista-Soljah-Souljah-Jihad — AXIS OF EVIL Rev. Sharpton, Rev. Wright and MUSLIM EXTREMIST Malcolm X KillA — Louis Farrakhan, and Malcolm X Mosque No. 7 – JIHADI — FATIMA EXTREMIST underground-money connection to Chicago’s Trinity United Church of Christ. Sen. Obama is not a separatist-racist. Michelle Obama AKA Wildabeast is not a liberal-leftist-sexist-racist. Michelle Obama AKA Wildabeast — did not fail the Illinois Bar Exam. Sen. Obama is not a self-indicting thief plagiarizing pipsqueke Xerox – X box. “GLORK” Obama executed no crime in Harlem. Obama is Not America’s Poison — Reality:…He’s Radio-Active.

SOULJAH JIHAD — OBAMA CAMPAIGN CRISIS
The Republicans’ disengagement (media bias), if not disillusionment, with the economic campaign issues is borne out by the fact that many more Republicans are able to explain, extinguish, and excoriate the name Barrack Obama with the term (JIHAD), than can name Bush/Dick Cheney and McCain — as the Big Oil — BIG HALLIBURTAN politicians expanding GOP IRAQ WAR ideology, and Republican White House Party Elders’ GI Bill of Rights for the 21st century IRAQ WAR ECONOMY. Even among Tupac Shakur, Bob Marley, Muhammad Ali, Ben Holt, Cotton-Club to Lenox Club- a.k.a. “The Breakfast Club,” Staples Singers In Ghana 1971: “When Will We Get Paid,” Paul Robeson or Jay – Z . . . excerpts from the infamous Malcolm X speech “The Ballot or the Bullet†Obama and conservative Republicans: Clinton is much more visible than GOP presumptive candidate John McCain towards affecting positively the important economic issues facing America’s middle class economy.
When asked who they would vote for in the general election for president of the United States, the natural pendulum swing in America is 79% of Republicans named Hillary Clinton as their choice. Reasons for Obama’s Campaign Crisis “GLORK” Campaign Crisis include:
Sen. Obama accepted more money from oil company executives last month than any other candidate, while he ran an ad saying he didn’t take money from oil companies. “Sen. Barack Obama continued accepting donations from oil company executives and employees last month even as he aired ads in which he stated he took no oil company money, his campaign finance reports show. Obama has taken at least $263,000 from oil company executives, family members and employees since entering the presidential race last year, including $46,000 last month. At least $140,000 has come in chunks of between $1,000 and $2,300, the maximum permitted under federal law.” [LA Times, 4/24/08]

“GLORK” SOULJAH JIHAD — CAMPAIGN CRISIS

WASHINGTON  Obama’s support among Democrats nationally has softened.
“GLORK” Sen. Barack Obama’s support among Democrats nationally has softened over the last month, particularly among men and upper-income voters, as voters have taken a slightly less positive view of him than they did after his burst of victories in February, according to the latest New York Times/CBS News poll.
The survey suggests that Mr. Obama, Democrat of Illinois, may have been at something of a peak in February, propelled by a string of primary and caucus victories over Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York, and that perceptions of him are dramatically trending downward.
Mr. Obama’s favorability rating among Democratic primary voters has dropped seventeen percentage points, to 42 percent, since the last Times/CBS News survey, in late February. While that figure is steadily declining, this dramatic decline came in a month during which he endured withering attacks from Mrs. Clinton, and responded to reports that his exiled former pastor had made politically inflammatory statements from his church’s pulpit in Chicago, and swirling questions about the criminal money generating underworld of 501-(C)-Shaddy-Sharpton-Semilunar-Crescent of Allah Islam Mosque No. 7; and what Barack Obama did in Harlem — from which he cannot extricate himself.
The events of the last month appear to have fundamentally altered the race for the party’s nomination and provided Mrs. Clinton’s campaign extensive evidence of a collapse in Mr. Obama’s standing or an overwhelming preference voiced for Mrs. Clinton by Democratic and Republican voters in polls: — perplexing developments in Obama’s ongoing Campaign Crisis, that could be used to persuade uncommitted super-delegates to sign on with Hillary Clinton.
Twenty-six percent of the general electorate voters who heard of the Apologia speech that Mr. Obama the self-indicting, separatist-racist Barack Obama AKA Barack Hussein Obama gave to try to deal with the controversy over Obama’s separatist-racist connection to Farrakhan and Chicago’s Trinity United Church trumpeting Barack Obama AKA Barack Hussein Obama as the second coming of the messiah, said it made them dislike him. And 74 percent of Democrats and Republicans said Mr. Obama’s Campaign Crisis “GLORK” Campaign Crisis “God damn America” – Jeremiah Wright and Barack Obama. “God bless America” – Pope Benedict XVI and Hillary Clinton… stems from the fact that he shows continued misjudgment for even the most challenging problems. Next, the overall opinion of people in the news this year; Mr. Obama lacks the decisive capability to lead, willingness to listen, conviction and courage. Mr. Obama is no Alexander Manly when it comes to sexist-racist issues, and he uses false charges and exaggerated hate-the Saxon-race claims to play politics with national security.
For a United States Senator, Barack Obama has been doing a lot of explaining about the company he has kept for the last 17 years or so. A politician can not chose the family he has. However; he can chose the pastor he keeps. The Rev. Jeremiah Wright has influenced Mr. Obama’s liberal-elitist-separatist-racist views on a variety of subjects. This may be what happened to Obama over the years, as his MUSLIM radicalism and demonize the White-Saxon-race, may expel the same Rev. Wright belief; that America and its US allies brought on 9/11. In a sincere re-examination of his world-view, Obama’s Mea Culpa-Apologia says this guy is like an uncle to him. But shouldn’t his long term relationship with this despicable character call into question at the very least Obama’s judgment? From Waxahache, TX.– to Axis-of-Evil, Mr. Obama lied about the politics of his campaign, and knew about Rev. Wright’s MUSLIM Militant Farrakhan Malcolm X Mosque No. 7 – JIHADI — FATIMA EXTREMIST mob connection to Chicago’s Trinity United Church of Christ.
