Obamas Fox Trot on Taxes9:05PMAug 7th 2008

On taxes, Obama again sounded confused about capital gains. He said he was "mindful that we've got to keep our capital gains tax to a point where we can actually get more revenue." So why does he want to almost double the rate? He claimed "that's not something that's going to affect the average person with a 401(k)," even though it's a tax hike on the 100 million Americans who own stock.

He defended his proposal to raise the earnings cap on Social Security taxes by saying it affects only the "3% to 4% of Americans who are above $102,000 in income every year." As former Reagan adviser Lawrence Kudlow notes, a firefighter married to a schoolteacher can easily double that amount.

Obama attacked McCain's plan to make permanent the Bush tax cuts he once opposed. But McCain's opposition was in the context of unrestrained federal spending, something Obama's proposals indicate he is a big fan of, almost as much as raising taxes.

According to a study by Tracy Foertsch and Ralph Rector of the Heritage Foundation, letting the Bush tax cuts expire, as Obama wants, would reduce our annual GDP by $100 billion with the loss of up to 900,000 jobs. Over 10 years, taxes would increase by about $1.7 trillion. For 116 million Americans paying taxes, that's an annual tax hike of about $1,800 a year.

Aided by a fawning media, Obama's rise has been a political phenomenon. But he's never been tested in any real way or taken the lead on any controversial issue. He's a liberal who would raise our taxes at home and surrender to our enemies abroad.

He has no legislative achievements at any level and wouldn't even be a U.S. senator if both the GOP and Democratic nominees hadn't self-destructed in local sex scandals. Obama got the Democratic nomination by default and crushed political gadfly Alan Keyes.

Obamas Fox Trot on Working with Republicans9:05PMAug 7th 2008

Aside from mumbling something about government regulations, Obama couldn't provide any. Obama has a history of ducking tough issues, whether in the Illinois legislature or the United States Senate.

As noted by the Washington Post's David Ignatius, Obama, after being elected to the Illinois senate in 1996, "gained a reputation for skipping tough votes" such as a key one on gun control in December 1999 because he was vacationing in his home state of Hawaii. Ignatius quotes a Chicago politician as saying that "the myth developed that when there was a tough vote, he was gone."

Obama certainly wasn't part of the 2005 "Gang of 14" bipartisan coalition that sought to break the logjam on judicial nominations in the U.S. Senate. McCain was. The nominee who prompted the famous "nuclear option" threat was the current chief justice of the United States, John Roberts.

"I think that Judge Roberts deserves an up-or-down vote, and I hope that the other members of that group agree with me," said Sen. McCain. They did. Half the Democrats in the Senate wound up voting for Bush's Supreme Court nominee, even Pat Leahy and Russ Feingold. But not Barack Obama.

Obamas Fox Trot on Ayers9:07PMAug 7th 2008

Asked about his friendship with Weather Underground terrorist William Ayers, Obama dismissed Ayers as "a 60-plus-year-old individual who lives in my neighborhood, who did something that I deplore 40 years ago when I was 6 or 7 years old. By the time I met him, he (was) a professor of education at the University of Illinois."

Ayers was more than somebody with whom Obama served on a board. Ayers helped launch Obama's political career in 1996 when Illinois state Sen. Alice Palmer introduced him to some of the district's influential liberals. What was essentially Obama's first fundraiser was held at the home of Ayers and his terrorist wife, the equally infamous Bernadine Dohrn.

Obama's Fox Trot on Reverend Wright9:08PMAug 7th 2008

Election '08: Barack Obama's interview on "Fox News Sunday" showed a liberal uncomfortable with the truth. He is often compared to JFK, a leader who made tough choices. But Obama turns out to be a profile in porridge.



When Obama's pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, was asked by Bill Moyers in a PBS interview about Obama's attempt to separate himself from Wright's anti-American and racist remarks in Obama's Philadelphia speech, Wright said: "I do what I do. He does what politicians do. So that what happened in Philadelphia where he had to respond to the sound bites, he responded as a politician."

Obama continued to respond as a politician in an interview with Chris Wallace on "Fox News Sunday." He reiterated that he hadn't heard Wright's more famous quotations and sidestepped Wallace's request to provide examples of what he did hear that he also found objectionable.

Instead, he invoked the name of the Rev. Martin Luther King, comparing King's speeches opposing the war in Vietnam to Wright's rants that 9/11 was America's chickens coming home to roost and AIDS was invented in a U.S. government lab to kill black people.

Why not? After all, Obama once compared Wright to his "typical white" grandmother. Maybe he considers King a typical black preacher in the Wright mold. But King had a dream; Barack Obama has a nightmare.

Trinity United Church adopted the Black Value System written by the Manford Byrd Recognition Committee charted by Vallmer Jordan in 1981. We believe in the following 12 precepts and covenantal statements. These Black Ethics must be taught and exemplified in homes, churches, nurseries and schools wherever Blacks are gathered. They must reflect on the following concepts:

1. Commitment to God
2. Commitment to the Black Community
3. Commitment to the Black Family
4. Dedication to the Pursuit of Education
5. Dedication to the Pursuit of Excellence
6. Adherence to the Black Work Ethic
7. Commitment to Self-Discipline and Self-Respect
8. Disavowal of the Pursuit of “Middleclassness”
9. Pledge to make the fruits of all developing and acquired skills available to the Black Community
10. Pledge to Allocate Regularly, a portion of Person Resources for Strengthening and Supporting Black Institutions
11. Pledge allegiance to all Black leadership who espouse and embrace the Black Value System
12. Personal commitment to embracement of the Black Value System

NOTE THE ABOVE::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::

Barack Obama has distanced himself from Rev. Wright and he stated this is my church. You can see from the above Black Value System, the white folks are left out.
Is this what you want for a PRESIDENT.

To save the American people more embarrasement, Barack Obama should remove himself from the Presidential race.

Obama's Marxist Axis Of Friends9:11PMAug 7th 2008

Obama's Marxist Axis Of Friends

By INVESTOR'S BUSINESS DAILY | Posted Monday, May 05, 2008 4:20 PM PT

Election '08: Barack Obama wishes questions about his associations with Rev. Jeremiah Wright, Bill Ayers and other radicals would end. But maybe the reason they won't is that there's a pattern: Marxism. It's not hiding.


When one looks at Obama, it's shocking how radical and anti-American his closest associates are. Taken separately, the black liberation theology of the Rev. Jeremiah Wright, or fundraiser William Ayers' unrepentant past as a 1960s terrorist or Obama's openly pro-Che Guevara volunteers in Houston might be dismissed.

But taken together, and given Obama's closeness to his friends, it's fair to ask whether Obama doesn't share their extreme-left views. Yet whenever he's asked, he gets mad and avoids the issue.

Maybe that's not surprising, given that Obama himself began his career as a Chicago community organizer and worked on projects there influenced by Saul Alinsky. The Marxist Machiavellian of the Chicago scene advised budding revolutionaries in his 1971 book "Rules For Radicals" to conceal their radical affiliations to attain greater power. That works well for Marxists.

Another Obama supporter, acting in Obama's name, secretly contacted Colombia's Marxist FARC terror chief Raul Reyes to tell him that Obama would cut off U.S. military aid to Colombia to hinder its war against FARC, as well as deny Colombia free trade, a strategy FARC considers key to overturning Colombia's democracy.

If Obama repudiated that secret messenger, we didn't hear it.

Obama's Offer They Couldn't Refuse9:12PMAug 7th 2008

Election: Barack Obama promises "change" in politics. But his promise to end federal oversight of the Teamsters union in exchange for an endorsement sounds like Chicago backroom politics. It's change — for the worse.

It's disturbing to learn that the man who may lead the U.S. in the highest office of the land still bends and grovels to union bosses whose record of corruption is so bad that they still require federal supervision to keep the mafia out.

But that's the picture we have with Obama and his relationship with the Teamsters, a historically corrupt union of 1.4 million members whose endorsement and $25 million in campaign donations had Democratic candidates falling all over themselves.



It costs them $6 million a year, and apparently that's enough for them to seek some politician to lift it, someone who can appoint "the right" officials to the Justice Department to take care of it.

They seem to have found him in Obama. Sounding like a Chicago mobster, Obama told the Teamsters: "I think that if you've got somebody in the White House, who you know, who you trust and who you have got a history with, then you're going to see a change in terms of how we evaluate these consent decrees."

Did it work? Ahhhh, "it certainly wouldn't have hurt to have a president who came out and said that they would support getting the oversight out of our union," Teamsters spokesman Bret Caldwell told the Wall Street Journal on Monday.
