Via Roger Simon, an interesting opinion piece by Spengler about the two women in Obama’s life, and how they may have influenced his thinking about America and its place in the world. He may or may not be right in his conclusion that Obama is an America-hater, but the biographical facts he marshals certainly support his case. The more I find out about this guy, the more scared I become of him. The fact that there are legions of mindless drones out there swooning over him is even worse.

I don’t care what his views are, so long as he states them openly and we can discuss them. At the moment, all we can do is extrapolate them from his biography and associates, plus we’re not even allowed to discuss what that tells us.
That’s worrying.
Let’s take a closer look at who’s really qualified and or who’s really
working for the good of all of us in the Senate. Obama or Clinton.
Records of these two candidates should be scrutinized in order to make an
informed decision.
Senator Clinton, who has served only one full term – 6 yrs. – and another
year campaigning, has managed to author and pass into law – 20 – twenty
pieces of legislation in her first six years.
These bills can be found on the website of the Library of Congress but to
save you trouble, I’ll post them here for you.
1. Establish the Kate Mullany National Historic Site.
2. Support the goals and ideals of Better Hearing and Speech Month.
3. Recognize the Ellis Island Medal of Honor.
4. Name courthouse after Thurgood Marshall.
5. Name courthouse after James L. Watson.
6. Name post office after Jonn A. O’Shea.
7. Designate Aug. 7, 2003, as National Purple Heart Recognition Day.
8. Support the goals and ideals of National Purple Heart Recognition Day.
9. Honor the life and legacy of Alexander Hamilton on the bicentennial of
his death.
10. Congratulate the Syracuse Univ. Orange Men’s Lacrosse Team on winning
the championship.
11. Congratulate the Le Moyne College Dolphins Men’s Lacrosse Team on
winning the championship.
12. Establish the 225th Anniversary of the American Revolution Commemorative
Program.
13. Name post office after Sergeant Riayan A. Tejeda.
14. Honor Shirley Chisholm for her service to the nation and express
condolences on her death.
15. Honor John J. Downing, Brian Fahey, and Harry Ford, firefighters who
lost their lives on duty. Only five of Clinton’s bills are, more
substantive.
16. Extend period of unemployment assistance to victims of 9/11.
17. Pay for city projects in response to 9/11
18. Assist landmine victims in other countries.
19. Assist family caregivers in accessing affordable respite care.
20. Designate part of the National Forest System in Puerto Rico as protected
in the wilderness preservation system.
There you have it, the fact’s straight from the Senate Record.
Now, I would post those of Senator Obama’s, but the list is too substantive,
so I’ll mainly categorize.
Senator Obama – During the first – 8 – eight years of his elected service he
sponsored over 820 bills. He introduced:
233 regarding healthcare reform,
125 on poverty and public assistance,
112 crime fighting bills,
97 economic bills,
60 human rights and anti-discrimination bills,
21 ethics reform bills,
15 gun control,
6 veterans affairs and many others.
His first year in the U.S. Senate, he authored 152 bills and co-sponsored
another 427. These included **the Coburn-Obama Government Transparency Act
of 2006 – became law, **The Lugar-Obama Nuclear Non-proliferation and
Conventional Weapons Threat Reduction Act, – became law, **The
Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act, passed the Senate, **The 2007
Government Ethics Bill, – became law, **The Protection Against Excessive
Executive Compensation Bill, In committee, and many more.
In all, since entering the U.S. Senate, Senator Obama has written 890 bills
and co-sponsored another 1096.
An impressive record, for someone who supposedly has no record according to
some who would prefer that this comparison not be made public.
He’s not just a talker.
He’s a doer.
Pass it on….
Clinton is lazy, looks like. Lazy ass woman what didn’t wanna work. You’d think she could at least have made sammiches then.
“Pass it on…”
No.
Somebody’s about to learn that blogs are not a good place for political ads.
Especially ads on a blog like PW for an ignorant socialist moron like Obama.
Nihi will like it, though.
Oh, and about that ad – Obama has a head full of bad ideas – his actively pursuing them is NOT a plus.
Not that google-drive ad-poster dude will read the thread…
Psychicstar, some of us don’t consider “was responsible for a whole bunch of new laws” to be a desirable feature.
125 on poverty and public assistance.
Baracky likes to redistribute shit.
Hey! Where de white women at?
Meddlesome bastard. Coming soon to a deserted trail near you, the Barack H. LePetobamaine Tollbooth.
What’ll that sonofabitch think of next. Now someone’s got to go back and get a shitload of dimes.
So is Obama psychologically really an “America hater”, or does he only act like one in practice? Either way is frightening enough.
15 gun control
That’s all? But one was enough, thank you. Now take Obama away please.
Blazing Saddles…Where…else?
I wonder how much of the extensive litany of the Obamabot above is BS … then we get this from Barry’s own site at the the official US Senate website
How fun, Barry thinks it’s every American’s duty not just to help fellow poor Americans, but every “poor” person in the world.
Of course, Barry will keep his [Rezko enabled] mansion, but the rest of us?
If his legislative record, so helpfully provided to us above, is any indication he’ll not only make sure that those who have mansions don’t get to keep them, he’ll do his damnedest to prevent the rest of us from ever getting one.
“Pass it on…â€Â
Amazing, I just read almost the exact same material in a letter to the editor of the Spokesman Review.
Thanks for speaking from the heart, psychostar.
In all, since entering the U.S. Senate, Senator Obama has written 890 bills and co-sponsored another 1096.
Work, work, work, work, work, work, work.
“Hello, boys…….dja miss me?”
Psychicstar, I understand your comparison between Clinton and Obama, and I agree that it is a stark comparison based upon volume alone. Well, actually, based upon content too I suppose. However, the shear volume of bills that Obama has sponsored or co-sponsored boggles the imagination.
How is it even possible to have researched, studied, analyzed, written, networked, etc… in any thorough manner, the volume of legislation to which his name has been attached? I mean,let’s look at the legislative schedule here; it’s not as if they work 365 days a year. Even if he worked nights, weekends, and holidays, spending no time with his family or his constituents, it seems fairly improbable that he could be so thoroughly engaged.
In sports terms, it would appear that he’s been busy running up the score.
Thomas D, if you Google “In all, since entering the U.S. Senate, Senator Obama” you get over 1600 hits.
not that nishi, heet, psychostar, et al, will at all be bothered by yet another Youtube paeon to the cult of O by will.i.am (what’s with teh stupid on names, btw?)
In [his first three years,] Senator Obama has written 890 bills and co-sponsored another 1096.
His first year in the U.S. Senate, he authored 152 bills and co-sponsored another 427.
3 yrs 890/1096/1986
1st y 152/427/579
2-3 y 738/669/1407
avg 2-3 369/334.5/703.5
The numbers add up, but they make no sense.
I say Comment #2 is some sort of secret code.
Darleen, what the hell would these people do if Obama had a less catch-phrasey type of name?
Did anyone catch the entire 60 Minutes interview tonight? I caught some, but not all, of it. And, from what I could tell, it appeared that Kroft was doing his best to present Hillary as the fly that keeps buzzing around his head. Misconception about Obama…well, let’s just clear that right up. Misconception about Obama rumored to be started by the Clinton camp, well, let’s be certain to point that out too.
Clinton may not win the race and, it now appears that it would be difficult to do, however; it’s not impossible as Kroft stated and ‘confirmed’ through his conversation with Obama.
Don’t they know she won’t just roll over and die? Seriously, would you want to be on the Clinton’s collective shit-list when this thing is all over?
1600 hits, dang that’s funny. It’s almost as if there’s a concerted effort going on…
Of course, I laugh at the smell of boilerplate in the morning.
So it’s not the legion of mindless drones, or cut and past commandos, who truly scare me. It’s the ones in the know who are real cause for concern.
Obama is shuck-and-jive con-artist.
He’s a doer
What a Boone what a doer what a dream-comer-truer was heeeeeeeeee!
We’re heading for Carter redux.
I’d cringe if that didn’t almost certainly mean a Commodores reunion. Half full glasses and all that.
We’re heading for Carter redux.
Woo Hoo!
Bring on the 18% mortgage rates…and the peanuts.
Oops! on the italics.
Baracky ain’t gonna win no Presidency. It’s too important for that.
“Comment by Jeff G. on 3/2 @ 8:59 pm #
We’re heading for Carter redux. ”
BO in Robins egg blue leisure suit? Bring back the 70’s!
Who here didn’t give me a harrrumph!
Obama promises that every American will not only have a chicken in the pot, but a bright shining pony.
It’s too bad that Barry is a committed surrender monkey, because I think America could really use some smooth Commodores harmonies right now.
Oh, shit. I said “monkey.” I’m in trouble now, aren’t I?
Looks like Hillary is one kind of ‘Employee” (in that she is interviewing for the job of POTUS, whereas Obama is a different kind.
A long time ago, a wise man taught me that basically you could categorize all potential employees into one of four categories: Smart and Lazy, Smart and Energetic, Dumb and Lazy, or Dumb and Energetic. Some might think the worst of those would be Dumb/Lazy and the best would be Smart/Energetic, but they would be wrong. The best is Smart/Lazy, because they will figure out the best way to do something, but since they are lazy, they’ll also figure out the most efficient way to do it. Therefore, it ends up costing you less in time and money. On the other hand, the Smart/Energetic employee might get the job done, but won’t worry as much about what it takes to do so, so will end up costing you too much time and money. Therefore, there is more chance of damage.
The Dumb/Lazy on the other hand might not get much of anything done, but they won’t cause much damage either, so they end up not being as risky. The worst though is the Dumb/Energetic one. He’ll do lots of things (pass lots of Bills for example), but due to his stupidity, will cause more damage than any of the others.
So in order from Best to Worst we have:
1. Smart/Lazy
2. Dumb/Lazy (Debatable whether this should be 2nd or 3rd)
3. Smart/Energetic
4. Dumb/Energetic
I see Hillary as Dumb/Lazy (dumb in her policies at least), whereas Obama fits the classic Dumb/Energetic. That makes him far more the dangerous of the two since he’ll be so eager to do “stuff”, but will forward stupid policies to do so. Not Good.
somebody is proud of this?
So true. Maybe some of those mindless drones can peel off and worship me for a change.
I mean,let’s look at the legislative schedule here; it’s not as if they work 365 days a year. Even if he worked nights, weekends, and holidays, spending no time with his family or his constituents, it seems fairly improbable that he could be so thoroughly engaged.
That would explain why he missed so many votes, though. Too busy writin’ and cipherin’ and all.
@33: So Fred really was the perfect choice, then?
“97 economic bills,”
That right there is some scary shit.
I think I should run for President. My Mom and my wife have already committed their votes to me, and I’ll be writing in my own name. So that’s 3.
My message: if elected, I’ll be smart and lazy. And probably drunk on weekends.
Oh. And I won’t shy away from a fight — be it from the PC police or dudes who strap explosives to their kidneys because they don’t like certain cartoons, say.
hmmmmm, we’re(okay, RTO after I failed) trying to find this “The Protection Against Excessive Executive Compensation Bill” and um, not coming up with anything but some things submitted by Barney Frank. anyone else have any idea?
Hey, boss, you got my vote
I figure I’m already a racist ZionistTheocon for my Obama-mocking photoshops…
although, in identity politics I have more of a slave past than Barry.
I have an idea, maggie. Let’s call BS! Thomas.gov sez:
ja, Pablo, we’re guessing they mean S. 1181 “This Act may be cited as the `Shareholder Vote on Executive Compensation Act’.” makes companies let the Shareholders vote on executive compensation, but that vote is not binding. yay paperwork!
Try this:
This reform will give shareholders a “Say on Pay†at their companies
So when do we movie goers get to vote on a non-binding say on the questionable compensation of actors?
My, that’s impressive. I really like this one: **The
Comprehensive Immigration Reform Act, passed the Senate**
That would be McCain-Kennedy, wouldn’t it?
You meant to say penny, not pony.
Four votes! It’s Goldsteinomentum!
I think I should run for President.
OOOH NO!
That damned armadillo would be violating interns and pages all over the white house, and I don’t think the country could take it.
Oh, they’d take it alright.
And like it.
Like Vikings.
so are you throwing Burge overboard, or are we talking after you’re VP?
and also, don’t you have to be at least 35? *ahem*
Now, let’s see someone come try and come up with some clever rant, I mean chant, with the word Goldstein.
Any lyricists nearby?
Goldstein is fine!
Goldstein/Burge ’08
A chicken in every pot, and eight cylinders for every American!
Regards,
Ric
I think we could find something appropriate in Jeff’s archives.
Like this:
Goldstein/Burge ‘08
“I have a dream that
one day this nation will buy
me a damn pony!â€Â
Goldstein is fine!
Or Goldstein is mean? What is your preferred pronunciation JG?
I think we should avoid rhymes, B Moe.
The animal motif should be useful for a while:
Goldstein/Burge ’08
There’s gotta be a pony in there someplace!
Regards,
Ric
OT: I knew we had tornado sirens here. I never heard them before.
Regards,
Ric
I just mainly need to know if it is Goldstein/Burge now, or still Burge/Goldstein? The race car I crew on is going to hit the track at the end of the month and I need to know which bumpersticker to put on it. Or I guess I could put one of each.
I knew we had tornado sirens here. I never heard them before.
You might want to duck, dude. Just sayin’.
oh carp Ric, I better tune in to the weather.
#33 will find the description he outlined in the 1942 U.S. Army “Officer’s
Guide” issued to those in officer’s training school(OCS). Such non-PC
sentiments were stricken from the Guide long ago, alas.
I’d be a whole lot more into this argument if I didn’t hate our guy so hard. Oh, what a horrible election!
Psychic, please warn us if you’re going to post long lists of Maximum Leader’s Great Accomplishments. I passed out in ecstasy four times trying to read that, wet my pants twice, and swooned pretty much constantly. I also threw my panties at the monitor which, consider I’d peed them involuntarily (twice) was pretty disgusting and now I have a mess to clean up. Seen the handi wipes?
Seriously. Some of us are trying to read this by I-Phone and it’s just not safe to do that to us, what with the swooning and fainting and all. Could you at least warn us if you’re going to blind us with Magnificent Leader’s Greatness, or His Hopey Hopefulness of Hope? Is a girl named Hope the Hope we’ve been Hoping for? Where does Bob Hope fit into Hopeiness?
I’m sure Great Leader will explain in the next 5 year plan.
Yours in Juche,
Al M.
What? No slogans that mention armadillos…or pie?
I’ll vote for Jeff if he puts a Room-Temperature-American on his ticket.
My dad is available.
You could take Illinois with a demographic like that.
Probably Orleans Parish, Louisiana too.
If you give me pie, I will vote for you.
I wouldn’t vote for you even though I would really want to but it’s just I don’t think you’re our best chance at stopping Obama, who is of great concern cause he is a socialist who shows every sign of reveling in his on fecklessness. Persuade me.
oh. his *own* fecklessness
HF, you do realize, don’t you, that your single innocuous misspelling, despite being promptly corrected, invalidates your entire argument!?
The dangers of communicating on the internet. They’ll get you every time.
Radical anti-Americanism, rather than Islam, was the reigning faith in the Dunham household.
Perhaps validated by the Wright connection. Seems like reasonable questions to ask.
Goldstein/‘Dillo ’08
A team you can dance with.
