The Obama camp is very good at going after people that don't agree with them.  The problem is they are inconsistent and selective in who they criticize and for what.

Earlier to day I read in a First Read Post, “During an interview with the New Bedford Standard Times, portions of which were posted on YouTube, John Kerry says bluntly that Barack Obama has the potential to “bridge the divide in religious extremism” because he is black”

I didn’t know Black individuals had been endowed by their creator with special powers of negociaton.  Is Kerry saying that because Obama is black he is better able to deliver a message that would otherwise be unacceptable if it were delivered by a white person?

Is it possible that Obama has a lead because his message is better received by a certain segment of the population because he is Black?  

So it isn’t the content of the message but the color of the skin that counts with some people.  Yes John, we know that.  These people are called racists.  And the point you make is pretty much the same as the point Ferraro was making when she was slammed and smeared by the Obama camp as they labeled her a racist.

So why haven’t we seen any posts from Obama supporters calling John Kerry a racist?  

OBAMA'S GOOD JUDGMENT??

I have an example for you. It's a little drawn out, but hear me out because it makes sense.
When I was in the military there was a list the commander would keep on the board where everyone could see(and there was much command-to-soldier speak of abiding by it), it said "OFF LIMITS AREAS". These were areas that soldiers were legally prohibited by the military to go(and in most cases, for the protection of the soldier).

Included on that "OFF LIMITS AREAS" list was anyplace that publicly (or even to a large congregation behind closed doors) displayed or preached any type of racially motivated extremism and/or any other kind of "audacious" and over the top style of hate breeding.

Now I'm quite positive that our military units very very quickly added Obama's Church to their "OFF LIMITS AREAS" lists, after the other day when the news came out about Pastor Wright and how he not only "G*d D*med America" to hell, but also blamed the USA for 9/11, and so completely slandered(with utter racism), the former First Lady(and 2 term senator, and Candidate for President) of these United States of America.

Note: The Commander in Chief of the Military is the President, and the President sets very high standards for the conduct of our Armed Forces.

Now hear this: American citizens rightfully enjoy the freedoms of our Constitution(provided by the many hundreds of thousands of Americans who paid the ultimate price(as in death)fighting for their country's freedom), and are given the right to speak freely, and to seek the religious counsel of whatever institution they believe in, and this is a TOTALLY AWESOME founding principle for the USA.

But for a person who seeks to be the #1 Patriot of the land, the person who is trying to become the Commander in Chief and President, this person(family actually) simply has to hold the highest standard of Unity and respect for all people in the land. In other words, associating with an extremist organization for 20 years, completely disqualifies a person from being the President, and rightfully so I might add.

Obama has failed the test of ultimate loyalty to America(by dedicating 20 years to a hate breeder), and therefore cannot become the #1 Patriot of America. Think about it, it's impossible.

Also, Obama's timing for making this colossal mistake could not be worse, as if he were to be selected for the Primary, he would be up against a person that is a highly decorated American War Hero and 5&1/2 year POW (Senator John McCain(since 1987)) (see his wikipedia entry for Military Accomplishments here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_McCain#Militar y). Democrats everywhere are gonna realize this sooner or later, and when they do, they will realize that Obama cannot win. If Democrats get on the right track, and select Hillary as the Democratic Candidate, she at least may have a chance against McCain.

What makes me so embroiled with my comments is that the nation has vested SO MUCH into Obama and he has completely and utterly failed us. It's a shame to all of those who are credible.

As it turns out, in the end, the Canadian NAFTA issue was NOT Clinton.  

http://canadianpress.google.com/article/ALeqM5gNMJKvj5eQRQBNSeQj3bTyETSagQ

And, if you recall, Obama denied the meeting ever took place for several days.  Then, the truth came out and then he disputed the "characterization" of the meeting.  Who is lieing and doing anything to get elected?

http://ap.google.com/article/ALeqM5jrFPkleRZmbmPtPxHBGNAPSzfUtwD8V5OLP00

MSNBC, thank you for picking up this story.

I'm glad someone finally asked questions about Hillary's private NAFTA meeting in 1993. There were rumors about this meeting several months ago, but main stream media would not cover it.

Will America listen now that the meeting attendees themselves are saying Hillary was a major reason NAFTA was passed?

I doubt it. Hillary's been caught lying so many times, but America doesn't care.

Clinton and McCain do not want to run against Obama on issues. They will try to keep the waters muddied with anything but. He is too dynamic for their wrong-headed, stale, ineptitude. That's right Barack. Take it to 'em on the issues. They can't handle you, and they,as well as, their campaign handlers know it.
Pulling for Obama '08

AND NOW THE TRUTH: UPDATE: The Clinton campaign has asked that I post this recent quote on CNN from Mr. Gergen, referenced above, saying, "I was actually there in the Clinton White House during the NAFTA fight and I must tell you Hillary Clinton was extremely unenthusiastic about NAFTA. And I think that’s putting it mildly. I’m not sure she objected to all the provisions of it but she just didn’t see why her husband and that White House had to go and do that fight. She was very unhappy about it and wanted to move on to health care. So I do think there’s some justification for her camp saying, you know, she’s never been a great backer for NAFTA."

2008 may be the darkest year in the history of the democratic party and may be america too.
if americans voters can be persuaded by empty rhetoric then GOD BLESS AMERICA.
senator obama has been claiming to be an honest outsider and claiming to unite america but RESULTS ARE OPPOSITE. HE IS A PERSISTENT POLISHED LIER WHO CAN NEVER UNITE AMERICA BY EMPTY RHETORIC.
IF DEMOCRAT VOTERS GET HOODWINKED AND NOMINATE HIM THEN THERE WILL MCCAIN IN THE WHITE HOUSE TO FOLLOW THE SAME RUINOUS PATH OF BUSH.
OBAMA MISSED THE BOAT TO GET VP SPOT. HE CAN NO LONGER USE RACE TO HIS ADVANTAGE

You can find all about it in a widely under-read article in the September 2007 issue of Mother Jones, in which Kathryn Joyce and Jeff Sharlet reported that "through all of her years in Washington, Clinton has been an active participant in conservative Bible study and prayer circles that are part of a secretive Capitol Hill group known as the "Fellowship," aka The Family. But it won't be a secret much longer. Jeff Sharlet's shocking exposé, The Family: The Secret Fundamentalism at the Heart of American Power will be published in May.

Can anyone please tell me what was so awful about the 90's?
Economy was stable....
401ks were holding up well....
people had money in their pockets...
WHAT was so awful about this?  Clinton took a deficit and turned it into a surplus within 3 years...
WHAT WAS SO BAD ABOUT THIS ???
PA Voter (Sent Thursday, March 20, 2008 11:23 AM)
Dear PA Voter,

You are right the 90’s went bad, but only thanks to Bill Clinton. His wife was busy with the Travel Gate and getting herself into a lot of trouble. Do we really want another republican in the White House? That is what will happen if Hillary is the nominee; the republicans will have a field day with her because of her long history in DC. They know too much about her, and know a lot of her skeletons! Just remember It was her husbands presidency not hers, she only made trouble for herself and the republicans will remember that and will use it against her in the fall.

Come on, Obama! Don't let her manipulate again!

You're down in the polls, and misguided folks are taking away the wrong points from your spot-on honest and eloquent speech.

Play to WIN.  Get this out there loud and clear. Go on late night talk shows. Whatever. Just do it. Please.

There is nothing wrong with changing your position if events change.  What is wrong is to lie and say you were against it all along when you weren't.  I really hope the media does not let her get away with a lie that won her Ohio.  Shame on you Senator Clinton

I have heard many allegations about the corporate owned media manipulating the news to promote their agenda.  I prefer not to believe that that is true, but it is very difficult to maintain that hope when I see the MSM continuing to report things as fact that have clearly been disproved.  I don't understand how they can justify that to themselves without feeling slimy.  I would like to have respect for the authors of First Read, but when I see things like this,I have a hard time sustaining that respect.

The Super delegates will soon have a caucas. I hope they go with public sentiment. Obama will lose a general election. Not only because the $250,000 he had to give to charity because given by Rezko, but silently approving of Rev. Wrights inappropriate statements but also his assocaition with Willaim Ayers. WHAT DOES THIS SPELL!

We need to come toegther behind one candidate to stop the bleeding George Bush is causing like a 1 trillion dollar war.

People - Read My Lips - No more republicans!

Write your the superdelegates in your state to support Senator Clinton!

To: Reality Check -- posted thursday march 20, 1:33 pm.========  You better check your own Reality -- Reality will happen this Nov. -- When John Mcain wins.

The Media, Hillary Clinton, John Mcain, Bill Clinton and only God Knows who else is doing everything that is possible to defame Obama.

My question is when are all of you bloggers, members of the media bring to the public the suit of Paul VS Clinton as you have about Rev. Wrights thirty second bites.

After the election in Penn there is a possibility tha by the time the North Carolina Primary she might be indicted.

In closing I will sY TO All of Obamas supporters No Weapon formed against him will succeed.

Patty, SD, CA, you might be too old to go to school now but it's always good to stay silent and listen.  It's the best way one can educate yourself.  I sometimes dream of the past, however I realize that we can only look forward to the future.  I understand how you feel.  Longing for the past will not make you any less miserable than you are now.  The only thing that can save you from the bitterness is to embrace reality and understand most people are looking foward to the future.

Oh Barack, don't bring up another issue that'll make you shot yourself in the foot once again.

You should explain why your top economic policy advisor was telling the Canadians that his promise to fix NAFTA shouldn’t be taken seriously.

Is this the best you can do after aligning yourself with hate mongering Wright? I can't believe that man will have a chance to have access in the White House IF you get elected.

Now MSNBC I know this isn't exactly for Obama but be fair and post this.

http://www.huffingtonpost.com/barbara-ehrenreich/hillarys-nasty-pastorate_b_92361.html

MSNBC YOU NEED TO PUT THIS UP AND LET US KNOW IF ITS THE TRUTH!

Hillary's secretive Capitol Hill Bible study group THE FAMILY.

I think Ms. Clinton is very deceptive, she has a mean streak. She's all smiles in front of the cameras and plotting behind the camera's. She contacted the Canadians and she's behind the scandal concerning Obamas preacher. I dont trust her or her husband. She will do anything to get what she wants. She lies with a smile.

The Real Question is: Why isn't the media agressively pursuing this issue of lying about NAFTA in Ohio with Clinton, and questioning her on it?

This is not surprising - the Clinton's will do and say whatever it takes to win - hoping the truth will not come out.  Her statement that she never actively supported or helped "push it through" has been found out to be as many other things she states - a lie.

The distortion of Obama's 'holier than thou' camp is just sickening.

Hillary has said numerous times that she would call for an end to the tax code incentives given to businesses that ship jobs overseas.
How does Barack plan to enforce his mandate that all children have healthcare? Go after wages? He hasn't even said. Why not??

Does Obama even care about trade issues before? He can't even hold a meeting concerning national security - even as he is the alledged chair of sub comittee on European relations and the Afghanistan security issue.

Hilary while campaigning was able to attend at least 2 of them. Barack was absent 48% in the senate while McCain was out 54% of the time. Guess who has the most attendance WHILE campaigning? Hilary was out only 24% of the time!

So who is truly concerned about solving problems in this Country? She rolls up her sleeves and gets to the bottom of issues. Sure Nafta needs work, and she is going to work on it, not just wink wink her way to resolving them.

I really hope MSNBC gets to post this.

Patty, I am an African American woman & I am very OFFENDED by your comments.  How dare YOU try to provide a lesson on American history?  It's obvious from your comments you have not a clue.  This country was built on the backs of African American & MILLIONS lost their lives being transported to this country and murdered in this country, not 600,000, MILLIONS.  I'm not taking away from the lives lost during the Civil War but please don't act like that ended the horrible atrocities African Americans incurred & indured. Peasants, indentured servants, lower ranking members of the aristrocracy came to this country to escape a caste system and enacted the same system they were escaping on African Americans a& attempted to do to Native Americans.  Please do not speak to the history of African Americans when you know nothing of what it means to be black in this country.  Now I digress because you managed to finally irritate me as I read your posts of the last week.
From the reports I've read on the Canadian news sites (Yes, I've done something called research) I've found and our media has also reported that is was the Clinton campaign that called Canadian officals that the would just be giving the "wink-wink" to the American public on NAFTA.  The Clinton campaign is continuing to lie on this issue.  I understand this is politics but please know that not all Americans are afraid to go and research an answer to get to the real truth.  The Canadian government actually have an investigation going on trying to find who leaked the controversial memo and also issued an apology to the Obama camp.

Nothing worse then padding your Bra Hillary and then your padding falls out while bowing for your nomination!

Obviously Hillary lied to the voters in Ohio about NAFTA, pointing the finger at Obama "I'll see you in Ohio, Barack Obama!"

Then she had Geraldine Ferraro trotted-out to say Obama was winning just because he's a black man.  

Her campaign strategist, Mark Penn is one of the country's well-known lobbyists for major pharmaceutical and nuclear power industries. He's the one who called Obama "Ken Starr", when Obama demanded Hillary's tax records- which she still refuses to release.

These sleazy tactics demonstrate what politics under Hillary will look like for the next 8 years... just like Bush/Rove.

We, the public, want the tax records NOW Hillary.

You know, Democrats should be ashamed that it is in fact Clinton who wink and nodded to the Canadian government. She is using the same dirty politics and has now started to successfully drag Obama down.

If we allow her to succeed, this will be the end of the only sane party left. The Democrats used to be about progress, equality, and integrity. With the Clintons, we get double-talk, divisiveness, and finger pointing.

Despite the recent downturn of Obama's popularity, I am sticking with him. Is he flawed? Yes. But he sure has hell has more integrity and honor than Hillary.

Foreign Policy Experience?
But the calendars also seem to show that, on occasion, Mrs. Clinton was not substantively involved with foreign affairs when a real 3 a.m. crisis hit the White House.

Take, for example, when Al Qaeda terrorists bombed the U.S. embassies in Kenya and Tanzania in 1998, killing hundreds of people. Mrs. Clinton’s schedule does not show any foreign policy meetings in the aftermath of the crisis, only a trip to Andrews Air Force Base to console victims and their families as they returned from Africa to the United States. And when, in retaliation for those embassy attacks, President Clinton bombed Al Qaeda terrorist camps in Afghanistan, where was Mrs. Clinton? The records show that she was vacationing at a “private residence” in Martha’s Vineyard, Ma., and had no official events.

Foreign trips offer a mixed review of Mrs. Clinton’s national-security experience. On a trip to Japan and Korea in 1993, for example, her schedule was filled with teas, tours of gardens and other traditional first lady fare. And on a trip to Russia in 1994, Mrs. Clinton met with other first ladies and attended coffees and tours, separate from her husband or the Russian president. Clinton campaign spokesman Carson described the calendars as only a “guide,” and said that they “of course cannot reflect all of Senator Clinton's activities as First Lady.”

Indeed, on overseas trips in 1996, Mrs. Clinton held "private" or "closed" meetings with foreign heads of state in Greece, Turkey, and Bosnia--without the president's attendance. And on dozens of times throughout her White House years, she attended White House meetings with Cabinet secretaries, was briefed by senior National Security Council officials and met with foreign dignitaries from around the world.

I am a 45 yr old white catholic conservative WOMAN who thinks that this whole country has gone mad!!! O'bama is getting my vote. Nafta has been a disasterous experiment for this country. The only people who profited from it were the Clintons.Let us not forget that these are the same people who rented out the Lincoln bedroom for $14,000 a night to their hollywood friends. Whitewater and travelgate seem to mean nothing? Lets bring some integrity back to OUR White House and try to be a little more savy in our political convictions.

Ohio is over and done.  Let's spread this information all over Pennsylvania and the other remaining states.  Send it to all the media.

patty,sd,ca you ignorance is appalling. It's fine to lie about politics, as you do, but insult African Americans is just wrong. Let's send your inbred children to schools that are basically underfunded prisons for a few generations. At the same time, let's see how well they raise their children living in ghettos filled with other frustrated, under priviledged people. You are what makes people ashamed of the USA, shelfishness wrapped in shamelessness.

does nobody care that if you people elect Hilary the United States of America will have 24 years of being in two families hands.  We have already been in Clinton and Bush hands for twenty years, where are we in the world today, what is our standing in the world is it better?  Are we in better shape after 20 years of Clinton and Bush?  I think not and yet you want to give them at least 4 more years and maybe 8.  I know this was not what our founding Fathers had in mind a two family dictatorship.  

Amazing Obama lies about NAFTA/Canada contact, trying to have it both ways. Then wants to make it an issue, saying Clinton did the same thing.

Then lies straight-up about Wright on Thursday, but 5 days later gives a speech telling all of America it is racist if it doe not believe him and "lay off" Wright.

Now if only someone would ask Obama. Why, given Wrights diatribes and profane blasphemy, was he Obama) the first presidential candidate to call for the firing of Don Imus?

I am not defending Imus, his remark was in defensible.
I am asking, do Obama's call and his statements re his daughters (below) not constitute hypocrisy? Was he not "worshiping in a Glass Church while throwing stones"?

In an interview with Jack Tapper (ABC) titled "Obama: Fire Imus", dated April 11, 2007, Obama was the First White House Contender to Call for Imus' Firing Over Racial Slur. Text follows:

In an interview with ABC News Wednesday afternoon, Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., called for the firing of talk radio host Don Imus. Obama said he would never again appear on Imus' show, which is broadcast on CBS Radio and MSNBC television.

"I understand MSNBC has suspended Mr. Imus," Obama told ABC News, "but I would also say that there's nobody on my staff who would still be working for me if they made a comment like that about anybody of any ethnic group. And I would hope that NBC ends up having that same attitude."

Obama said he appeared once on Imus' show two years ago, and "I have no intention of returning."

"He didn't just cross the line," Obama said. "He fed into some of the worst stereotypes that my two young daughters are having to deal with today in America. The notions that as young African-American women -- who I hope will be athletes -- that that somehow makes them less beautiful or less important. It was a degrading comment. It's one that I'm not interested in supporting."

Though every major presidential candidate has decried the racist remarks, Obama is the first one to say Imus should lose his job for them.

His proclamation was the latest in an ever-expanding list of bad news for Imus.

"What we've been seeing around this country is this constant ratcheting up of a coarsening of the culture that all of have to think about," Obama said.

"Insults, humor that degrades women, humor that is based in racism and racial stereotypes isn't fun," the senator told ABC News.

"And the notion that somehow it's cute or amusing, or a useful diversion, I think, is something that all of us have to recognize is just not the case. We all have First Amendment rights. And I am a constitutional lawyer and strongly believe in free speech, but as a culture, we really have to do some soul-searching to think about what kind of toxic information are we feeding our kids," he concluded.

Dear Clinton Voters (especially the ones in Ohio)

Due to you being DUPED by Hillary and her statements on NAFTA (the policy that took your jobs) please listin with rapt interest to following:

WARNING: THIS MAY BE YOU LAST CHANCE TO CURE THE DREADFUL DISEASE CALLED "CLINTONITIS-LARENGITIS"

I believe you must have been brainwalshed by the Clintonistas' Brainwalshing Machine which has inadvertently infected you with ""CLINTONITIS-LARENGITIS."


Futhermore: We can tell the tell-tale symptoms of said "brain addleation" from your common sense migration to "CLINTONITIS-LARENGITIS," for every time you open your mouths inaccuracys, inattention to detail, and right out un-truths distort, disrupt, and miscommunicate all clear and consise language communication.

Your Cure is simple and free for the present time only:

You must repeat the following statement at least one hundred time to be totally cured of
"CLINTONITIS-LARENGITIS."

"Obama is the one, the only one, who has been honest about his feeling and opinions concerning Rev. Wright: This inspires Trust.

Obama is the one: who gave an historic speech that challenged us to see beyond the color of ones skin: This inspires trust!

Obama is the one: who has spent his life serving others rather than trying to get rich: This inspires trust

The rich and powerful are few: but they will try to destoy Obama because of his stance on special interest:This inspires trust!

Obama is loyal to his loved ones/family: This inspires trust."

Did you say it one hundred times?

Then you now must realize the followning statement below.

It seems blantantly obvious to anyone with an education higer than third grade the Clinton has failed to INSPIRE TRUST!

Hillary all the way!!!!!!!!!!1How can you beleive MR Obama he is a fraud and a lie just how he lies that he was never at service when his Rev Wright was bashing people ot the USA, People wake up do you really want someone like him leading our wonderfull country, Wake up all you Obama Mama's and GET A Grip HILLARY ALL THE WAY Wait all the dirt will come out on him as it startes all ready oh yea Hillary will be ready on day one

If the voters of PA have not figured out Hillary's position on NAFTA by now - oh well, go ahead and vote for her it is only your job you're kissing goodbye!

Hillary was, is, and will always be a NAFTA supporter.  You better start thinking clearly on this or just kiss your job bye bye.

Check out Snopes, or fact checker site, Obama-ites; if you do not believe the Firstread folks. The Clintons never contacted Canada.

No nevermind don't check, the truth might mess up your mind. Would not want to burden you with such!

Patty,sd,ca....You need to check your facts before you post.  WE now know that you may have missed out on a little education.  It's also obvious that you did READ or HEAR Mr. Obama speech.  His speech addresses not only African-Americans issues but White American issues. I applaud you for trying to have a discussion around race but before doing so you have reveal that your comments had not research or serious thought involved.  Let me give you a little info because I do not think you can handle a lot right now:

"Before the Middle Passage began a slave trade already existed in Africa, but this slave trade was much different than the one that Europe would create for the Africans as the Atlantic World developed. The difference was, in Europe the slaves were dehumanized and viewed as property while in Africa, humans were still humans. Also some of the reasons that the Africans were enslaved in their own country traced back to their current status. If a person had committed a crime, were prisoners of war, or had a debt that was unpaid then they were enslaved by a greater force". Also here's a good book for you to start with...David Brion Davis,  The Problem of Slavery in Western Culture

Is the White house has Clinton's private address? We just cannot stand another Clinton deception reign again, a reign of lie, deception and delusion.

what's the difference between  Clinton and Bush again. Someone please remind me. I see more differences between McCain and Bush than Clinton and Bush.

Why isn't this issue a headliner on MSNBC? This should be at the top of the page. Billary's mistruths are being exposed.

It's about damn time.

Hillary not only lied about NAFTA; she also lied about her experience!  ALL OF IT WAS MANUFACTURED BY BILL CLINTON, CAMP HILLARY, AND HILLARY!

THEIR ATTITUDE WAS THAT THE "PRIZE (THE PRESIDENCY)" WAS WORTH ANY AMOUNT OF LOST CHARACTER AND INTEGRITY.  BUT THEY ALL FORGOT ONE THING -- THEIR CHARACTER AND INTEGRITY HAD EXAPORATED YEARS EARLIER.

OHIO VOTERS WERE TRICKED!  WE CAN'T BLAME THEM BECAUSE THEY ALLOWED OBAMA'S SKIN COLOR TO GET AHEAD OF THEIR GOOD JUDGMENT!

VOTE CHARACTER AND INTEGRITY!

VOTE OBAMA
