Maybe the post we all need to open our eyes! Okay those of you how insist on obama as hope look at this http://rawstory.com/news/2007/Obama_doesnt_put_hand_over_heart_1022.html ,thats the video the rummor that went around. Sure why not elect a anti-american president!? The Gaffe machine he is-watch what you say the public hears it * Last May, he claimed that Kansas tornadoes killed a whopping 10,000 people: “In case you missed it, this week, there was a tragedy in Kansas. Ten thousand people died — an entire town destroyed.” The actual death toll: 12. *Earlier this month in Oregon, he redrew the map of the United States: “Over the last 15 months, we’ve traveled to every corner of the United States. I’ve now been in 57 states? I think one left to go.” *Last week, in front of a roaring Sioux Falls, South Dakota audience, Obama exulted: “Thank you Sioux City…I said it wrong. I’ve been in Iowa for too long. I’m sorry.” *Explaining last week why he was trailing Hillary Clinton in Kentucky, Obama again botched basic geography: “Sen. Clinton, I think, is much better known, coming from a nearby state of Arkansas. So it’s not surprising that she would have an advantage in some of those states in the middle.” On what map is Arkansas closer to Kentucky than Illinois? *Obama has as much trouble with numbers as he has with maps. Last March, on the anniversary of the Bloody Sunday march in Selma, Alabama, he claimed his parents united as a direct result of the civil rights movement: “There was something stirring across the country because of what happened in Selma, Alabama, because some folks are willing to march across a bridge. So they got together and Barack Obama Jr. was born.” Obama was born in 1961. The Selma march took place in 1965. His spokesman, Bill Burton, later explained that Obama was “speaking metaphorically about the civil rights movement as a whole.” *Earlier this month in Cape Girardeau, Missouri, Obama showed off his knowledge of the war in Afghanistan by honing in on a lack of translators: “We only have a certain number of them and if they are all in Iraq, then it’s harder for us to use them in Afghanistan.” The real reason it’s “harder for us to use them” in Afghanistan: Iraqis speak Arabic or Kurdish. The Afghanis speak Pashto, Farsi, or other non-Arabic languages. *Over the weekend in Oregon, Obama pleaded ignorance of the decades-old, multi-billion-dollar massive Hanford nuclear waste clean-up: “Here’s something that you will rarely hear from a politician, and that is that I’m not familiar with the Hanford, uuuuhh, site, so I don’t know exactly what’s going on there. (Applause.) Now, having said that, I promise you I’ll learn about it by the time I leave here on the ride back to the airport.” I assume on that ride, a staffer reminded him that he’s voted on at least one defense authorization bill that addressed the “costs, schedules, and technical issues” dealing with the nation’s most contaminated nuclear waste site. *Last March, the Chicago Tribune reported this little-noticed nugget about a fake autobiographical detail in Obama’s “Dreams from My Father:” “Then, there’s the copy of Life magazine that Obama presents as his racial awakening at age 9. In it, he wrote, was an article and two accompanying photographs of an African-American man physically and mentally scarred by his efforts to lighten his skin. In fact, the Life article and the photographs don’t exist, say the magazine’s own historians.” * And in perhaps the most seriously troubling set of gaffes of them all, Obama told a Portland crowd over the weekend that Iran doesn’t “pose a serious threat to us”–cluelessly arguing that “tiny countries” with small defense budgets can’t do us harm– and then promptly flip-flopped the next day, claiming, “I’ve made it clear for years that the threat from Iran is grave.” If you havent read his books heres some famous quotes From Dreams of My Father: "There was something about him that made me wary, a little too sure of himself, maybe. And white." From Dreams of My Father: "I never emulate white men and brown men w hose fates didn't speak to my own. It was into my father's image, the black man, s on of Africa, that I'd packed all the attributes I sought in myself, the attributes of Martin and Malcolm, Dubois and Mandela." great a fucking anti-american/white president From Audacity of Hope: "I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction." He's no muslim right? O yeah because he left that religion to join this congragation http://www.wnd.com/news/article.asp?ARTICLE_ID=59600 My hate for him has nothing to do with him as far as being half-black if it raised any hairs, but because this man is not hope he's terror. What I dont understand most is how this dirt isnt hard to find its stuff hes wrote or said recently and abides by it. NOBAMA 08'
well at least him making these mistakes show that he is human. maybe it's not a good thing, but i swear, Hilary is a robot.
Misstakes or not when running for president you cant be anti-american. I havent really put much time into hillary, because im hoping john mccain will win.
Copied and pasted from a Ku Klux Klan mailing. You could have at least re-worded it. Mods/Admins: I think the Secret Service is actively interested in the IP addresses of those involved with white supremacist groups. You may want to clue them in about this guy.
Are you making me out to be a nazi. You cant say shit about obama with out being considered racist. O well either way fuck him.
Politics is a dirty game. this thread is proof. Bullshit artists know most Americans will take their word at face value and not do the research as they should.
true, true. its also sad to say that politics has come to not just openly discussing ideas and opinions, but yelling over who's right and who's wrong. "My candidates better, no mine is!!" Most of these candidates see us as little money signs, anyway.
I don't support Obama because I think he's good with math and geography. If you expect a perfect president you will always be frustrated. I'm just glad the "dirt" people have on him is as benign as this thread. A few mispoken words are not enough to make him look bad to me. Being friendly to muslims is not anti-american. Muslims are not the enemy. You'll also have to specify what you mean by "american": is it your allegiance to the country, the flag, the capitol, the president; or is allegiance to the principles on which the country is based, personal liberty, separation of church and state and freedom of religion, empowerment of the common citizen, etc. I don't support Obama because he gives me warm fuzzies with his speeches; honestly I tune him out when he's stumping. I support him because he has the mobilizing, challenging, uniting personality that I believe is native to the office of president. He never claimed to solve anyone's problems himself; he only said he's the best chance of helping us unite together as a citizenry for reclaiming our country.
