THE NEW OBAMA VIDEO shows Obama is a flip-flopping, lying hypocrite on his Iran position.
But who's really surprised? People are supporting someone we know very, very little about except he gives great feelie-good sermons and wants to have Tea & Crumpets with our enemies...
Obama would not shake Sen. Clinton's hand, but he will shake terrorist leader's hands... go figure.
Clinton or McCain '08
America Needs A President, Not Another Obama Feel-Good Sermon

Obama says his country has 57 states..That is the exact number of Islamic states..57 of them..
Makes you think doesn't it... It sure does me..

When James Baker talks about Negotiation and Diplomacy in politics, people should listen.
The man has represented Ronald Reagan, George Bush Sr and now working for the united nations to solve conflicts in Africa and the world.
McBush can learn a thing or two from Mr Baker.
FLORIDA&MICHIGAN12:47PMMay 21st 2008
TAMPA - Barack Obama hinted during a Tampa fundraiser Sunday that if he’s the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, he’ll seat a Florida delegation at the party’s national convention, despite national party sanctions prohibiting it.
OBAMA IS A LYING CON-MAN. HE SHOULD HAVE LET THE PEOPLE'S VOTES COUNT, IN JANUARY.
NOW HE'LL ALLOW THE "DELEGATES" TO BE SEATED!
DELEGATES ARE NOT AS IMPORTANT AS "ALL" THE PEOPLE OF THESE TWO STATES.
HILLARY OR McCAIN IN 2008!

Please stop lying.
You know very well that it was about talking without preconditions.
You Obots have twisted this into something it never was. It's an outright lie.
How does it feel to be an outright liar? Do you feel that it's for the greater good (Obama being the greater good, God help us) so it's okay?
If so, then you are as bad as the Bush Administration ever was.
Personally, I am starting to hope that Obama does decide to go sit with terrorists without preconditions, on their territory. Can he do it now?

"If you're tough and you know what you're doin'", as Baker says, it MAY be tenable and productive to "talk to your enemies". Unfortunately, there is very little indication that Obama is either tough or knows what he is doing. Furthermore, Iran is not just any old run-of-the-mill enemy. Iran is Jihadist, dedicated to an unending effort to annihilate those perceived as infidels. And America is numero uno on that list. Even with preconditions it is folly to negotiate with Iran: America's demise, and that of Israel, is non-negotiable to this fanatical regime. Why can't Obama grasp this concept?

How does it feel to be an outright liar?
Now hold it right there !
Please make up your your mind.
One day someone is a mysogenist pig
the next they are a liar.
Please do one of two things Davidg.
1. Just admit that you are soooo torqued up that
you can not keep your name calling straight.
or
2. Just compile a list of all the nasty terms that you can dream up and post then in one final rant, before your meltdown occurs. I am sure that is what your "mommy" is going to do when she comes to the realization that it is over.

Oh man how SWEET it is Republican representatives backing OBAMA becsaue McSame is seriously flawed.

what makes u think that it's Obama who's gonna be sitting down with Ahmadinajad doing the talking?
the president of the united states has a secretary of defense, a secretary of state, a vice president...
what makes u think Ahmadinajad is not gonna be intimidated on the table being told that if he doesn't stop his ****, his *** will be wiped out of this planet and his country getting nukes is not gonna be acceptable.
don't under-estimate the democrats, we still have the strongest army in the world and the iranians know that, but u gotta give ur enemies a way out before u start beating the drums of war.

To JIM: you must really be dumb. You inferring that when Obam said 57 states she was talking about muslim countries. Did you include Guam, Pueto Rico and other US Possessions in your count. He counted the 50 states plus those ones. I keep saying that some of you people on here are so dumb, they can't even think for themselves, they can't think deeper than the words they hear. Dumb a*s idiot.

TO ALL THOSE WHO SAY THINGS ABOUT OBAMA, I SAY THIS:THESE ARE NOTHING MORE THAN EXCUSES FOR YOUR BIGOTRY. IT'S YOUR WAY OF SAYING THE "N" WORD.

A disaster is being planned for The USA. Some of you are just being used, some of you know what is going to happen and are happy to be used.
Jimmy Carter, Russia, Iran, Brezenski all have a past. Is the plan to come full circle with Mr. Obama?
Their Al Quieda creation wrecked havoc in the world, how can we expect any better with their latest Arab project?

It's interesting to note thought that when the neocons first proposed the bush candidacy in '99 they did it at Jim Bakers house. Has Baker abandoned the 'New American Century'?

To AlphaOverDawg: What happens if you're tough but you don't know what you're doing. Or you have experience but it's no longer relevant to todays realities. McCain has old experience but we need new people with new ideas to get us out of this mess. Bush has been talking tough for 8 years and 9-11 happened on his watch, US ships bombed overseas, attack on US barracks in Saudi Arabia, OPEC wielding more power, and the list goes on. That's the experience John McCain has and wants to continue. I am not against John McCain not only because he's 72 years old, but his past cancer, surgeries and current medications, his quick bad temper that can get us in a mess quick, no experience or even training on how to deal with the economy, supported Bush in going to Saudi Arabia last week to beg for oil, which by the way that so-called allied said a fat "NO" to him, and the list goes on. We need to see how his plan specifically is different from Bush on all the issues facing us.

Elmer Johnson, stick around. They always get around to the N-word eventually. In fact one comment last night on Tommys primary blog requested that I use my "N***** smarts" to explain what Obamas position was on something or other. The post was deleted due to ugliness but it was from a regular commenter here. She then complained to Tommy that we couldn't handle having our candidate exposed. Something else was exposed though. Like I said, stick around. You'll see it all.

How do you figure that we are even thinking the N word?
Are you thinking the B word when you speak of Hillary? Or the W word when you think of John McCain. Get the chip off your shoulder. Quit playing that tired tire tired race card.
You do nothing to enhance Mr. Obama. However he is what he is, the biggest fraud in world history.

Que sera
Did u ever wonder and ask urself why all these highly educated young and middle age people are supporting Obama and so crazy and exited about him more than any candidate in History since John Kennedy?
We are not naive or stupid Que sera, u'll be surprised to know what colleges some of us went to and what degrees some of us carry, we're not stupid Que sera.
we support obama for a reason, and that reason is not so clear for a lot of Hillary 's and McCain's supporters to see because all they see is his color.
Too bad.

Americans are so stupid - McCain has a stark voting record and stated positions (of flipflop) on the issues, yet people are waiting to see if they like "how he repackages himself" - what are we, f*cking ostriges with collective heads in dark places? Give me a blankin break.
