Politically Comatose

Is It a Joke? It Seems Like One It would almost be funny if it wasn't so 
true. Barach Hussein Obama is tearing the house down. His lies are legend.

Who doesn't agree with Barack Obama? Barack Obama doesn't. And it is all 
on videotape. He says one thing to one audience and something else to 
another audience.

"Videotapes of debates and speeches that were obtained by The Washington 
Times show that Mr. Obama took positions during his Senate campaign on 
nearly a half-dozen issues ranging from the Cuba embargo to health care 
for illegal aliens that conflict with statements that he has made during 
his run for the White House." (Jen Haberkorn - Feb 1, 2008 - The 
Washington Times)

In the October 30th presidential debate on MSNBC, Obama said he opposed 
decriminalizing marijuana. But when he was a candidate for the U.S. 
Senate, he told college students in Illinois on January, 2004, he 
supported decriminalization saying he favored eliminating criminal 
penalties for the use or possession of marijuana. It is all on the video. 
"I think we need to rethink and decriminalize our marijuana laws," Mr. 
Obama said during a debate at Northwestern University. "But I'm not 
somebody who believes in legalization of marijuana." (WashPost)

"When confronted with the statements on the video, Obama's campaign 
offered two explanations to The Times in less than 24 hours. At first, 
Obama spokesman Tommy Vietor said the candidate had "always" supported 
decriminalizing marijuana, suggesting that his 2004 statement was correct. 
Then after The Times posted copies of the video on its Web site, 
www.washingtontimes.com, yesterday, his campaign reversed course and 
declared he does not support eliminating criminal penalties for marijuana 
possession and use." (ibid)

The Obama spokesperson laid blame for the conflicting statements to 
confusion about the meaning of decriminalization. Sure you were confused 
Barack. That is because you were caught. BUT most of his supporters are 
not listening to the facts.

Who is surprised? My wife told me about this lady she knows, who is 80 
years old and a Republican who is voting for Obama because she says the 
economy is bad and she likes the way Obama looks. She said, "Obama is such 
a nice looking young man." AND, that is her reason for voting for Barack.

There are the folks who want a redistribution of the wealth. They want 
their share even if it means taking it from someone else who worked hard 
for it. We always provide for those in "real" need. There is a safety net 
and it can always be improved, but there are also cheats, those who have 
lived off the sweat and labor of others. These welfare cheats game the 
system. They will support Obama. He speaks for them.

Then there are those who just want "change and hope" and have not the 
slightest idea what Barack Hussein Obama means when he is intentionally 
vague. There is nothing vague about his support for Rashid Khalidi, the 
PLO spokesman who is his personal friend and a confidant.

At a forum on health care in 2003, Obama said he "absolutely" supported 
the same benefits citizens receive for the children of illegal 
(undocumented)  aliens - medical or in-state tuition. However, at a CNN 
debate in January 2008 when asked if his health plan also covered illegal 
aliens his answer this time was absolutely NO.

In 2004 he told students at Southern Illinois University that `I think 
it's time for us to end the embargo with Cuba...It's time for us to 
acknowledge that that particular policy has failed.' However, Obama flip 
flopped again. - and "he stopped short of calling for an end to the 
embargo in a Miami Herald op-ed in August. He said he would rely on 
diplomacy, with a message that if a post-Fidel Castro government made 
democratic changes, the U.S. `is prepared to take steps to normalize 
relations and ease the embargo.'"  (WashPost)

And at an NAACP debate in October of 2003 he said he would "vote to 
abolish" the MANDATORY MINIMUM sentences.  AND, he said: "The mandatory 
minimums take too much discretion away from judges," he said. If you now 
go to his WEBsite, http://www.barackobama.com, it says the opposite. It 
says he would "immediately review sentences to see where we can be smarter 
on crime and reduce the ineffective warehousing of nonviolent drug 
offenders." Another Obama Flip-Flop

He told the AFL-CIO in June 2003" "I happen to be a proponent of a 
single-payer, universal health care plan."

But, as you all know, he does not endorse a single-payer, universal
MANDATED health care plan. He only supports mandates for the kids and the
parents will obviously have to wait. It was Hillary who wanted mandated
coverage for EVERYONE - with affordable premiums and assistance (or FREE)
to those who can't pay.

What does he say now about single-payer universal care?

"`Senator Obama has always said that single-payer universal care is a good
idea because it would increase efficiency in the system, but the problem
is that it's not achievable,' Mr. Vietor said."

Unachievable? Is that is why it does work everywhere else? What is
unachievable is substance and change with Barack Obama... The only real
change will come from a Republican administration. The Democrats have been
so fixated on Obama redistributing income they forgot it takes an economy
that is working to enable everyone who wants economic sanity.

Obama is an enigma because of his flip-flopping and because he has refused
to disclose vital information about himself. He hasn't even provided a
valid birth certificate. There is something drastically wrong with a
system where a candidate can be elected president without first being
vetted, who could not even get a security clearance and nobody cares.

It is also laughable that the media repeats the same old false canard that
Obama is the most liberal and progressive candidate. National Journal, a
conservative magazine, thought so. He is far from being a liberal.
Universal health care is liberal. Obama is not liberal. It is more likely
that he is the Kenyon (not Manchurian) candidate and Democrats are
drinking the coolaid?

As if his association with Ayers, Dorhn, Pfleger and 20 year relationship
with Tony Rezko and Rev Wright, et al wasn't enough, the LAtimes has a
video of Obama with his friend, Rashid Khalidi which demonstrates Barack
Hussein Obama's close relationship with the blatantly anti-Israel Rashid.
It could cost him the Jewish vote and the LA Times refuses to release it.

"According an LA Times article written by Peter Wallsten in April,
Obama was a "friend and frequent dinner companion" of Rashid Khalidi,
who from 1976 to1982 was reportedly a director of the official
Palestinian press agency, WAFA, which was operating in exile from
Beirut with the PLO."  (FOXNews.com - October 28, 2008)

Those who are not paying attention are not only drinking the coolaid, they
are so dumb leaf mold is smarter than they are. They don't have a clue.
You know who what I mean. They are politically comatose.
Is Michelle proud of America now?
