Well, the right-wing sleaze machine has finally uncovered my Achilles' heel. The deep, dark secret from my past that could keep me from becoming the first Hussein to be president of a country other than Iraq.
I like America. There, I've said it. I really like America.
Not the country. The English-American folk-rock group from the seventies that has recorded some of the whitest songs of all time, including "Sister Golden Hair".
I had the audacity to hope that this campaign could be conducted without the slash-and-burn tactics the GOP has used in the past, but I guess I was naive. They scoured through used record stores on Manhattan's Upper West Side and Cambridge, Mass., where I went to school. They found an old copy of "A Horse With No Name" with "B. Obama" written in pen on the cover. When I was at Harvard you had to do that, because people were always stealing record albums.
Or guys would borrow my America and Bread albums because they had some chick in town from Mt. Holyoke or Wellesley. I could hardly say no, they were so pathetic. "C'mon, Barry," they'd say. "You've got the coolest albums in the whole dorm!"
And then when you went to their room the next day to get your album back, they'd say their girlfriend borrowed it, and she'd already left, and she promised to bring it back next weekend.
But next weekend never came. Or the girl would call the guy up and say "I'm sorry, we can't get together Saturday. My ear lobe's infected from those chintzy earrings you gave me." Or, "It's my weekend to clean out the lint traps in the dorm dryers."
I learned from experience that you had to fight back, and that's how I'm going to respond to the GOP and their divisive "gotcha" politics. I am today calling for a bi-partisan panel to review my entire record collection, so that the American people will know I'm not a wuss.
I've got Earth, Wind and Fire's Greatest Hits Volume I, Michael Jackson's "Off the Wall", and other "bad" albums that prove I'm not a total wonk.
Just let me take my "Yentl" soundtrack out of the milk crate, and I'll turn them over.

Is this our future with Obama?
"'Your new tax plan is going to tax me more, isn't it?' the plumber asked, complaining that he was being taxed 'more and more for fulfilling the American dream.'
"'It's not that I want to punish your success. I just want to make sure that everybody who is behind you, that they've got a chance for success too,' Obama responded. 'My attitude is that if the economy's good for folks from the bottom up, it's gonnabe good for everybody ... I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody."
-Barack Obama
Interesting eh??? Hummm.... so basically the Robin Hood strategy? Steal from the rich and give to the poor? Why should the government punish someone for making more money than someone else?
Ok, so for you who still don't get it, let me put it this way;
If two people walk into a store one woman makes $10 hr and the other woman makes $20 hr. They buy the exact same shoes, but when they get to the register the woman who makes $20 hr has to pay more for the same shoes ....just to make it fair, cause the other lady doesn't have enough money.
Come on! Seriously? And people are buying into this crap??
I looked up socialism in the encyclopedia and next to Obama's picture it read this;
10/19/2008 4:49 AMSocialism
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Socialism refers to a broad set of economic theories of social organization advocating state or collective ownership and administration of the means of production and distribution of goods, and the creation of an egalitarian society. Represents the transitional stage between capitalism and communism.
Oprah Winfrey:
Mr. Obama,
It is October, 2008. I am a 50 somewhat conservative white male. I have followed your campaign closely, including the speeches you and others made at the democratic national convention. I am respectfully providing you with seven simple (probably shallow) reasons why I could never vote for you. I believe my opinion is shared by many people. While there may not be quite enough to prevent you from becoming president of this nation, I do think there is an awakening to the fact that you are not a (the) messiah that the media and liberal Hollywood entertainers are trying to portray you.
1. I hear your mantra of change, change, change. Yet, you picked a long term, liberal, Washington insider (Joe Biden) to be your running mate. This is NOT change. It is a move that hypocritically refutes the very thing you supposedly stand for. Your campaign then slammed McCain for picking Sarah Palin, apparently, because she is NOT a Washington insider. She is a maverick who cleaned-up Alaska's quagmire of political scandals. Which way is it, Barack? Is it okay for you to pick a Washington insider under the mantra of 'change', but not okay for John McCain to pick a smart, aggressive, reformer?
2. You have the single most liberal voting record in the senate. This indicates to me and others like me that you may very well be an angry black man seeking to punish our country for sins of a different generation. I am not racist. I have some biases just like you and every other human alive. Unlike the Democratic Party who claims to be for the minority (but their record heavily refutes this), I will give any person who truly needs help, help. I married a 'minority' girl 35 years ago (she is Hispanic) and have seen the evils of prejudice first hand. However, I have also seen my wife and my children and others in her family throw off the veil of self imposed prejudicial bondage and move ahead. They love our country and do not view themselves any different than I view myself as a citizen of this country. Your lovely wife so disappointed people like me during this campaign when she stated it was the first time she had ever been proud of this country. She apparently never noticed the massive aid we give dozens of other countries. She apparently never noticed the sacrifice of literally millions of veterans who helped make this country a free nation and helped liberate other nations from brutal dictators such as Adolf Hitler. She apparently does not remember that she attended Ivy League universities with scholarship money that ultimately (at least some of it) was paid for by our taxes. This troubles me more than you know. She is an angry black woman who appears to not like her country very much. I don't want her representing me to the rest of the world.
3. You claim Christianity but apparently do not realize that the Bible teaches that he who does not work, does not eat. The Bible does not say or even suggest that he who CANNOT work should not eat. Yet, your liberal policies reward people who are capable of working, but choose to not do so. This bothers me. I know that if you are elected our taxes will spiral upwards. You should heed the words of Winston Churchill: 'We contend that for a nation to try to tax itself into prosperity is like a man standing in a bucket and trying to lift himself up by the handle.' If I like anything about you, it is your campaign promise to balance the federal budget. Unfortunately, we have heard this a huge number of times from a number of different politicians and we realize that when you energize the very liberal Nancy Pelosi, Robert Byrd, Ted Kennedy, etc, etc and the many other democrats like them, a balanced budget will never, ever happen on your watch. And I'm sure my Bible has never supported killing innocent, unborn babies. But you have not only supported their murder in the womb, but you have also decided to withhold any medical assistance to any survivor of an abortion attempt. That makes you and your 'cronies' not only murderers of the 'unborn' but also the murderers of the innocent that are 'born alive'. How could I ever vote for such a callous, irreverent and insensitive person for any office?
4. During your question and answer session with Rick Warren of Saddleback Church your answer concerning the question of where does life begin, stunned me: 'Above your pay grade?' Does this mean when something bad happens as President of this nation that you are going to look at your salary to determine if you can respond? I am sorry, but this was the most serious gaffe I have seen you make. Frankly, it shows me that you are pandering in the most obvious manner. You will choose your words not from your heart, but from an agenda that I believe is still hidden from the American people.
5. If anything stands out about you it is probably your appeasement mentality. In this era of rampant, radical Islamic extremism and with the latest stunt pulled by the re-energized Russian government, I am not sure appeasement is healthy. I again revert to the words of Winston Churchill: 'An appeaser is one who feeds a crocodile, hoping it will eat him last.'
6. You and your party tacitly believe that a 13 or 14 year old girl must have the parents approval to have the school nurse provide them with a Tylenol when they have a headache at school. Yet, this same girl can become pregnant and the school can skirt her off to a clinic and abort the child in her body without the parents knowing or being notified. This scares the hell out of me. You have two little girls. Would you be upset if this happened to them and you were not informed? Then why do you stand for this? It makes no sense to me.
7. My seventh and final point (for now) is your supporters. I have watched the Hollywood entertainers that support you, systematically embrace Hugo Chavez of Venezuela and others like him. I see the continuous smut and garbage produced by Hollywood, the very people who promote you the most vigorously. It is not a positive point to me and others like me to see these over-paid, bizarre, poor examples of human existence fawn over you and push you and your liberal agenda as hard as they do. Add to them, the vast majority of hostile nations around the world that have voiced their opinion polls and would much rather have you to be elected. The way that I see it; 'When the devil is for you, we should be against you.'
In closing, I just want you to know that you scare me. I cannot vote for you. It is not because of your skin color. It is because these items and many, many others like them. Do not claim that my dislike for you is race based. It is because I do not feel you have the best interests of this nation at heart.

10/19/2008 10:20 AMN McMasters:
Why doesn't Obama want our middle and low economic kids in school with his rich kids. He said no to vouchers because he doesn't want us to contaminate his kids with our presence. Public schools are ok for our kids , but not for his.He says he will improve schools. Mine will graduate before then. Maybe it is because he feels that we turn to our guns and religion in hard times. Rich folk can turn to their money and conections they made while attending elite private schools.

WHAAAAAAAT !!! Even if he did believe this way.....it is hard to believe he would say something like this on TV.......
"I WILL HAVE TO PUT ASIDE MY HATRED OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA?" [From Sunday's televised "Meet the Press" Senator Barack Hussein Obama was asked about his stance on the American Flag... Barack Hussein Obama Explains National Anthem Stance
Sun, 07 Sept. 2008 11:48:04 EST]
General Bill Ginn USAF (ret.) asked Barack Hussein Obama to explain why he doesn't follow protocol when the National Anthem is played. The General also stated to the Senator that according to the United States Code, Title 36, Chapter 10, Sec. 171... During rendition of the national anthem when the flag is displayed, all pre sent except those in uniform are expected to stand at attention facing the flag with the right hand over the heart. At the very least, "Stand and Face It."
Senator Barack Hussein Obama, live on Sunday, states, "As I've said about the flag pin, I don't want to be perceived as taking sides," Barack Hussein Obama said. "There are a lot of people in the world to whom the American flag is a symbol of oppression. And the anthem itself conveys a war-like message. You know, the bombs bursting in air and all. It should be swapped for something less parochial and less bellicose. I like the song 'I'd Like To Teach the World To Sing.' If that were our anthem, then I might salute it. "We should consider to reinvent our National Anthem as well as to redesign our Flag to better offer our enemies hope and love. It's my intention, if elected, to disarm America to the level of acceptance to our Middle East Brethren. If we as a Nation of warring people, should conduct ourselves as the nations of Islam, whereas peace prevails. Perhaps a state or period of mutual concord between our governments. When I become President, I will seek a pact or agreement to end hostilities between those who have been at war or in a state of enmity, and a freedom from disquieting oppressive thoughts. We as a Nation have placed upon the nations of Islam an unfair injustice. My wife disrespects the flag for many personal reasons. Together, she and I have attended several flag burning ceremonies in the past, many years ago. She has her views and I have mine". "Of course now, I have found myself about to become the President of the United States and I have put aside my hatred. I will use my power to bring CHANGE to this Nation, and offer the people a new path of hope. My wife and I look forward to becoming our Country's First Family. Indeed, CHANGE is about to overwhelm the United States of America."
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, you heard it right. This could possibly be our next President. I, for one, am speechless.

Who the fuck are you and from who's asshole did you invent this purported interview? Racist much? Or just delusional? Amazing to what lengths a person filled with such hatred will take. Sad really . . . you are really a sad little person, aren't you?
10/23/2008 1:12 PMBill Clinton:
I'm the first black president and you're still a racist.
Any chance we get to see Palin in a bikini now?
10/24/2008 10:20 AMmom:
Obama is not the Messiah. He is a wolf in sheep's clothing and most Americans need to become unhypnotized or get a labotomy. Powell and Rice are users of their party and contemporary Benedict Arnolds. If Obama gets elected and goes back on his gazillion promises, is Bush going to get blamed for that, too. Alot of people need to retake their high school US Govt class so they can understand how our government works and that Congress had more to do with the economic disaster than anyone. Do you think it will be ok to have a one party pres and congress. If you vote yourself into that position, don't come whining to us after we tried to warn you. What is everybody smoking? We have 7 more days, wake up America and vote for democracy, not socialism.
10/28/2008 12:50 AMmom:
I have a little more to say. Are the people voting for Obama as whacked out as the power mongers like Pelosi, Frank, and Dodd? Are they paying attention that the possible Obama administration is already, ahead of time, looking a little Hitleresque. The Obama Gestapo was already let loose on Joe the Plumber for asking a question, the college internship reporters in Ohio doing research on fraud, and the Florida reporter who asked Biden questions pertaining to what he and Obama were heard to say, and now they are boycotting the station? Give me a break. Oh, and don't forget the hoard that was sent to dig up dirt on Sarah in Alaska. Oh dear, they didn't find anything. Maybe because Sarah is an uncorrupt politician and Democrats don't know how to deal with that. I think it was great that they talked about her poor daughter who I am sure did not intend to get pregnant. Things like that don't happen in Dem's lives, oh no! And for all those African Americans that think Obama considers himself in their group, he doesn't, he thinks he is better than them or anyone. He wants to be president because his ego is as big as the world and he wants to be in the history books, that's his only goal. And please could the Dems please stop talking about the meager money spent on Sarah's clothes compared to the enormous amount of money that Obama is spending that no one will ever be able to track. Let's see, Obama spent several $100,000 going to see his grandmother on his private plane. And he and his not very proud of America wife are staying in ritzy hotels eating lobster and caviar. Obama can't even follow his socialist ideals of everyone should have the same. I am going to be sick. My husband and I would like to move out of the country if Obama wins, but, oh, no we can't because we can't sell our house, because, oh, the whacked out greedy power hungry Democrats in Congress in bed with the mortgage companies to get kickbacks, made it so we can't leave. Was anyone paying attention when Pelosi said it would be unpatriotic if you don't vote for the bailout bill. Why is everything that is wrong with this country always the Republicans or Bush's fault? Come on people, it is all our faults. So be smart now, make the right decision, don't vote for Obama which will just make matters worse! Go McCain/Palin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
10/28/2008 1:22 AMJohn McCain:
Thank all of you for all of your racism, I mean, support. The "whack job" and I would not be trailing by just 10 points nationally without it.

It was abou McCain excepting the nomination and introducing Palin as his pick, also, Joe Bidens first interview as V.P. nominee and a couple other subjects. Fact check say's (BIG ASS LIE).
10/31/2008 7:17 PMNancy Grace(less):
At least with Hillary Clinton long out of the way, at least credibility has been reestablished for both Barock and McCain in this process. You remember Hillary, don't you? She's the former candidate that said she was in it to win it, and then she quit.

Interested in the rise of African American culture into mainstream American society? The new film Cadillac Records opens December 5th and depicts the turbulent times of the 1950's in Chicago. Much like the social issues of today (but with music) men and women of different colors come together to overcome prejudice to accomplish something great. The film is actually about the creation of Chess Records with artists like Muddy Waters and Etta James that launched blues music in mainstream culture but it is heavily influenced by the social discrimination of the time which we apparently are still struggling with today. By electing Obama, the majority of the American people have shown their support not only for the betterment of their nation but also to create a community of people from any social caste to work together for the greater good.
