If the Obama family cant see that the USA is best place for opportunity for anyone now, then they truly are blinded by power. For them to continue to criticize our country and act like their victims of racism perpetuated by their own race whether its modern day black racism or blacks selling each other into slavery, shows what kind of people they are.

To honesly ask for reparations while a lot of your race is in prison, on welfare, and cant even speak properly is a joke. For all the complicity whites had in slavery, it was whites who fought to eliminate it and gave their lives so blacks could be free.

The whole thing makes me sick and if Obama actul believes that a debt is still owed, then you wonder if the gets half of a share because he is no more black then he is white.

And I apologize to Professor Hanson if my statement caused a stain on his site.

Maybe ‘ginormous ginignorance’?

From the comments posted on some of the political blogs, a lot of people are beginning to wake up to what Obama-the-Rock-Star really is deep down, and they are becoming more scathing every day:

> empty suit moron
> I would vote for the Joker from Dark Knight before I would vote for Obama
> the Obamessiah is all things to all moonbats
> overbearing foolishness
> anti-American Marxist
> windbag from the Windy City
> snake oil salesman
> Obummer
> does his village know their idiot is missing?
> shyster Marxist politico
> all sizzle, no steak
> Obama can’t gain gravitas through osmosis
> I thought Obama was above being a mere human of any description, considering his demigod status; above and to the left obviously.
> Obama is suffering from electile dysfunction

How long he can keep on with his charade without giving away the game is the question. Granted, his brain washed followers will blindly follow, but we can hope that the rest will see through his empty rhetoric.

“This is the moment that the world is waiting for. I have become a symbol of the possibility of America returning to our best traditions”.

If Obama talks to fellow U.S. legislators that way, he must truly believe his own rhetoric. At least he used the appropriate first person singular, instead of the royal “we”, as in “We are the ones…”

Some scholar may have to invent a new word to accurately describe Obama’s overweaning pride. Help us out VDH. Mere hubris no longer pertains.

The right wing noise machine has been barely audible this election. Obama keeps referring to its pending resurrection to no avail. Now even he has had to retract his implication that the McCain campaign has used or will use Rovian tactics.

“Making good people look bad”?

This is a political campaign. Both candidates are good people. We’re trying to decide which one would make a good president.

“They have the military muscle to make the whole world uncomfortable, and have shown us that they are inclined to use it at will.”

Bill Clinton declined to use that military muscle to thwart the known threat Al Quaida presented to this country. The result of his inaction, 9/11, made us more than a little uncomfortable with Muslim terrorists, and Mideast dictators.

“American democracy is faltering badly”.

Possibly. But not for the reasons you imply.

What about a windfall profits tax on us cornfarmers? We are making record money.

2. Obama can’t buy my vote anything less than $5000. If the check clears before the election, he’s got my vote. Better yet, meet me behind Welsh’s Bar in Pender Nebraska and bring the money in small bills.

3. Ralph Peters on Sunday on BookTV called Obama a coward for refusing to take questions from real people and not debating McCain in a Townhall style format. Obama won’t answer questions from Bill O’Reilly. Fox News doesn’t have an army.

How is Barack going to deal with N. Korea, Russia, China and Iran when he can’t even face Bill O’Reilly.

This point of Obama as coward needs to be explored some more.

3. Ralph Peters on BookTV called Barack a coward for refusing to debate McCain and take questions from regular people who aren’t prescreened.

If Obama can’t face down Bill O’Reilly (who doesn’t have an army) then how is he going to deal with Iran, Russia, China and North Korea.

Barack the coward needs to be explored some more.

I agree. After all the soaring rhetoric that his followers and the MSM applauded, it was almost impossible to find any meat on the bones. “Hope” and “Change” repeated day after day ad nauseum didn’t tell us very much. True, a few ideas came through, mainly cribbed from someone else, as he pranced from left to center, spouting ‘his’ new (changed) views, that he thought might influence more voters.

It seems that the only way we can get a real feel for the policies he favors is when he ignores his speech writers and handlers and speaks extemporaneously. His proposed Civilian National Security Force, that would cost half a trillion a year, that the MSM has conveniently ignored, and some mention of which seems to have ‘conveniently’ disappeared from the internet. And now the ‘reparations’ he envisions? How much has affirmative action already cost the country — 5 trillion? 6 trillion?

As Charles Krauthammer wrote in a recent column, at first people asked “Who is this guy? Now they ask “Who does this guy think he is”?

I think he answered that when it was recently reported that he spoke at a closed door meeting of top Dems, and said, in part: “This is the moment that the world is waiting for. I have become a symbol of the possibility of America returning to our best traditions”.

Our only hope is that enough voters will be turned off by his dissembling and hubris, and will all vote. It is being reported that Obama’s young cheerleaders are being trained and sent out to gather more sheep for his flock, and that his campaign plans to spend 20 million to capture more of the Hispanic vote.

We are living in interesting times…
