Former Military General endorses Democratic Nominee Barack Obama; Says Not Based on Race
To my dismay yesterday morning, former Secretary of State Colin Powell went against his party and chose to endorse Barack Obama for POTUS. This doesn’t make political sense to me but it does make ethnic sense. Once again, I am an African American so please do not get this wrong. I have never been behind Colin Powell (even when I was part of the Democratic Party). He went along with the program for sending us to war and was very involved with that decision (something that Barack Obama was against).
What I am still trying to work out in my small American mind is when a white general endorses a war hero like John McCain, it’s racism against the Black Americans. However when a Black General endorses the black candidate Barack Obama, a name with no previous qualifications and anti-troops/anti-American mentors included in his background..then it’s celebrated. Obama even told an 8 year old young girl that America is not as great was it once was (ref: http://newsbusters.org/blogs/tom-blumer/2008/08/09/mostly-mia-obamas-downer-america-delivered-7-year-old).
We seriously have an infrastructure problem in America…more important health program problems and it’s so crazy to see someone that was on the conservative side support someone that is untested, unproven with no record of weathering a crisis…..and to put him in charge of a country in dire need of “Strong” leadership…..all I can say is God help us all. With all the questionable associations that Obama has, one of them has him supporting Odinga in Kenya who is trying his best to bring Sharia Law and Radical Islam to Kenya (Barack’s home country), he still endorses that foreign national.
This attempt to save Obama’s election could backfire in a bad way. Anyone that doubted that this campaign is all about race just learned otherwise this morning. This could be a major eye opening.
We Should Be Mad As Hell and Telling The Main Stream Media We Aren’t Going To Take this Bias Anymore!
Scene From the Movie Network (1976)
About 30 years ago, there was a movie that almost detailed what we have today with the Main Stream Media (MSM). Some of us are following the internet now but most of America still watches TV. And through TV, the MSM has been able to make a circus out of the news and reporting half truths.
The way that MSNBC has totally tilted their reporting to an almost cheerleading section for Barack Obama every night. From Chris Matthews and the tingling going up his leg when he hears Obama speak to the pompus commentaries of Keith Olbermann who seeks to destroy all that do not follow his lead. ABC’s Charlie Gibson who loves to smile when interviewing Joe Biden and has on the Harvard Professor glasses with guarded non-verbal knee crossing legs when interviewing Govenor Sarah Palin. How about CBS Katie Couric who almost spooned fed Joe Biden in their interviews but gave Sarah Palin broad questions that anyone could have answered any and every way. CNN has their panel of 7-8 inbred commentators (ie; Candy Crowley, Campbell Brown, Larry King) and much more that are easy to report the good side of Barack Obama and always question the bad side of John McCain.
It’s not right and we shouldn’t have to take it anymore!
The Obama supporters that read this will say “that isn’t true”, “that isn’t happening”….”Obama gets his share of negativity in the media” but then again we all know that isn’t true. Obama supporters are so deeply rooted in their candidate that they can’t see the imbalance of the coverage. In other words they have blinders on not allowing them to see the truth in any fashion. It’s not the first time that has happened. Republicans have done the same with George Bush and the Iraq War back in 2001-2003. But right now, their blinders have stopped them from finding out the truth about their “socialist” candidate.
Honestly, It’s not right and we shouldn’t have to take it anymore!
But the media is largely to blame for this entire mess. In the movie Network (over 30 years old), an individual that works at a TV station has finally had enough and fell over the deep end to tell the entire TV audience that the media is controlling them with incorrect stories and insignificant events. They lead stories that have take you on a trip of the best of Barack Obama and the truth as they develop it. They tell you of Barack’s plan for America, Barack’s platform, Barack’s health plan, Barack’s economic package. They get experts that pander to Barack’s point of view to make you understand Obama’s plan so that you won’t have any questions. These same experts discredit John McCain’s view easily as a total dismissal. “the only truth that we get comes over the tube”….but then again that is not true.
Honestly, It’s not right and we shouldn’t have to take it anymore!
We’re in a lot of trouble in this nation. The media is destroying the way we think for ourselves. Most people on the internet have different avenues of finding the truth but there is a whole entire generation that loves the TV and not knowing it…..it’s destroying our minds.
Honestly, It’s not right and we shouldn’t have to take it anymore!
Obama is not the answer for this time. We have been told that we have no other choice but we actually do. If you do not want to vote for McCain, then if we all wrote in NONE OF THE ABOVE, the election committees would get the point. Obama is not the messiah! The masses need to get over it quickly. He is not going to rein in a super fix on the problems that we face. He has led the country over the last 20 months with slogans, bumper sticker cliches and teleprompter speeches. His campaigned destroyed the Clinton’s. His campaign surrogates and the media along with Chris Matthews led the lie that Clinton was racists in a statement that had to do with “fairytale”. Don’t believe me, read this then………..
QUESTION: Thanks. One of the things
that Senator Obama talks about a lot is judgment and I’m curious to hear your
thoughts on the recent criticism of Mark Penn, who is Hillary’s chief
strategist, who’s been criticized for being somewhat out of touch with reality.For instance, he circulated a memo
about Iowa,
saying “Where’s the balance,” [sic: bounce] and then the next day,
there was a 12-point jump for Obama.CLINTON: He was wrong. He was wrong about
that, because the balance [sic] always occurs on the second day, not the first
day. It always occurs on the second day, not the first day.But since you raised the judgment
issue, let’s go over this again. That is the central argument for his campaign.
“It doesn’t matter that I started running for president less than a year
after I got to the Senate from the Illinois
state senate. I am a great speaker and a charismatic figure and I am the only
one that had the judgment to oppose this floor [sic: war] from the beginning,
always, always, always.”First, it is factually not true that
everybody that supported that resolution supported Bush attacking Iraq
before the U.N. inspectors withdrew. Chuck Hagel [NE] was one of the co-authors
of that resolution, the only Republican Senator that always opposed the war,
every day, from the get-go.
He authored the resolution to say
that Bush could go to war only if they didn’t cooperate with the inspectors and
he was assured personally by [then-national security adviser] Condi Rice, as
many of the other Senators were. So, first, the case is wrong that way.Second, it is wrong that Senator
Obama got to go through 15 debates trumpeting his superior judgment and how he
had been against the war in every year, enumerating the years and never got
asked one time, not once, “Well, how could you say that when you said in
2004 you didn’t know how you would have voted on the resolution? You said in
2004 there was no difference between you and George Bush on the war and you
took that speech you’re now running on off your Web site in 2004 and there’s no
difference in your voting record and Hillary’s ever since.”Give me a break. Honestly, It’s not right and we shouldn’t have to take it anymore!
Matthews and a host of others including African American leaders went on to say that Bill was referring to Barack’s candidacy as a fairy tale for a black man to make it this far. This spread like brush fire among the black community and painted the Clintons in a very bad light, even though it was not true. Obama did nothing to help clear it up either. They made Hillary into the villian and the media joined in the fray. This spread to John McCain and Sarah Palin very easily due to the fact that the media was more experienced now in protecting their interest with Obama. They turned John McCain into the villian on day one as with Sarah Palin. NBC/MSNBC who Palin has yet to do an interview with, keeps durmming up made up ideas and garbage to “get back at her for not appearing on their network”. ABC and CBS have tried to discount her knowledge of being a reformer and a maverick while having a job as a mayor and Governor of her state. They sought to trip her up as they are doing with Joe the plumber right now. They want the other side to fail and they want to report on things in a way that the public will say that all this is smoke screens and Barack Obama is the only and real choice.
They have even started to manufactor poll leads to make people think that the race is over. Polls that somehow have Obama with a lead of 10 or more points is just crazy. The media grabs onto those results and reports heavily on them. They put them on their websites knowing that people will not only watch the TV but check their websites for poll listings and data. This is one of the many farces that they accomplish on a daily basis.
Honestly, It’s not right and we shouldn’t have to take it anymore!
Who’s Really the Cause for the Mortgage Crisis that started this freefall – Democrats…..suprised??!!
My former democratic party was the cause of the mortgage crisis with Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac leading the way and they tried to lay the blame on the Republicans….So wrong!!
I just found this ad and honestly it sickens me that that it’s the truth and my former party keeps denying it even though there is video and past documentation that shows that they are the reason for the crisis. Even Barack Obama, Presidential Nominee for the Democratic Party received funds from Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac during this first two years in office. This remarkable debacle of the system that included the Democrats will be felt amongst us and our children for a long time.
Imagine this. The $800 billion dollar package that the Congress passed might not even have been needed and our children been saddled with the burden of paying it back if the Dems would have listened to the Republicans and had adapted more regulations.
Honestly, this video needs to get nationwide coverage because the truth needs to be told. Congrats on the Republicans for getting out the message.
Obama lies about ACORN in last debate and now looks to distract
It’s not enough to have people think that you are calm, cool and collected but to outright lie about your association with ACORN is 100% disrespectful to all the viewers of last night’s debate. I mean honestly, the way you smoothly sidestep the question with your already determined made up answer is one for the ages but needs to be addressed and shouted to the entire world.
The only involvement I’ve had with ACORN was I represented them alongside the U.S. Justice Department in making Illinois implement a motor voter law that helped people get registered at DMVs. Now, with respect to ACORN, ACORN is a community organization. Apparently what they’ve done is they were paying people to go out and register folks, and apparently some of the people who were out there didn’t really register people, they just filled out a bunch of names. It had nothing to do with us. We were not involved
Mr Obama, your campaign that you are currently running gave $832,000 for lighting and site selection which was originally reported by the WorldNetDaily earlier this year. Your involvement with ACORN was more than just a motor-voter bill that you stated on last night.
Ladies and Gentlemen, ACORN was very active in Senator Obama’s state of Chicago and with him also. He was invited to help trade ACORN activists in the early 90s. While he served on the Woods Fund (a Chicago Non-profit group), he sent millions of dollars to ACORN and it’s affiliated groups. This happened during the time that Obama was director of the Woods Fund somewhere around 1999 – 2002. He also received upwards to $6,000 for his service between 1999 and 2000.
During this time he served with American Terrorist William Ayers on that same Fund and actively sought ACORN’s endorsement for his local campaigns during the same period. Obama has also stated:
I’ve been fighting alongside ACORN on issues you care about my entire career. Even before I was an elected official, when I ran Project Vote voter registration drives in Illinois, ACORN was smack dab in the middle of it, and we appreciate your work….
Mr Obama, it’s more than just a small involvement.
Now ACORN is in major trouble due to the bogus voter registrations that it’s been accomplishing over the last few months in the battleground states. The FBI is investigating whether the community activist group ACORN helped foster voter registration fraud around the nation before the presidential election. A senior law enforcement official confirmed the investigation to The Associated Press on Thursday.
A second senior law enforcement official says the FBI was looking at results of recent raids on ACORN offices in several states for any evidence of a coordinated national scam. Both officials spoke on condition of anonymity because Justice Department regulations forbid discussing ongoing i nvestigations particularly so close to an election. ACORN, the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, says it has registered 1.3 million young people, minorities and poor and working-class voters – most of whom tend to be Democrats. Hopefully the FBI will be able to get to the bottom of this situation and very quickly.
More Damaging Developments for Obama, but only if MSM reports it….
Day after day, the accusations keep coming and coming at an alarming rate and the Main Street Media (MSM) will not report on it. Call it “chicken” or call it trying to be “political cone of silence”. The MSM will not report negative information about Barack Obama and if they do, they will end the report trying to give excuses fo the problem or just say that the accusations are nothing and have been proven un-news worthy.
Today, there was a shocking development. Ms Obama decided enough was enough and called the African Press International (API) to tell them so. The API had been only reporting on investigations from leads on the internet and other media outlets. Ms Obama went off on them with statements like:
African press International is supposed to support Africans and African-American view,” and she went to state that, “it is strange that API has chosen to support the racists against my husband. There is no shame in being adopted by a step father. All dirt has been thrown onto my husband’s face and yet he loves this country. My husband and I know that there is no law that will stop him from becoming the president, just because some American white racists are bringing up the issue of my husband’s adoption by His step father. The important thing here is where my husband’s heart is at the moment. I can tell the American people that My husband loves this country and his adoption never changed his love for this country. He was born in Hawaii, yes, and that gives him all the right to be an American citizen even though he was adopted by a foreigner; says Michelle Obama on telefon to API. (source – API)
Listen readers, that was an entire mouthful from her if she said it. At the time of this posting, all internet bloggers and readers and anxiously awaiting the audio tape that the API said that they would produce. No doubt they are getting their lawyers in on this because Ms Obama didn’t know she was being taped which could hang that up in court for a long time. But if this is true, this is a real “poop storm” at the worst possible time.
The API also reported that Ms Obama got irritated during the conversation and….
……simply told API not to dig that which will support evil people who are out to stop her husband from getting the presidency.When asked who she was referring to as the evil people, she stated
that she was not going to elaborate much on that but that many
conservative white people and even some African Americans were against
her husband, but that this group of blacks were simply doing so because
of envy. (source – API)
It seems that a lot of people want to know if this is for real. They have been jumping on that website putting up post at a furious rate. THE API has said that they will promptly release the evidence. This I want to see.
Another part of this situation is the Odinga relationship. It seems that Obama and Odinga are related and Obama has spent some time helping Odinga try to gain power in Kenya when Odinga lost the election. Now Odinga is starting a “semi-revolution” and Obama not only spent time over there campaigning for Odinga, he gave money for the cause. Some are saying that the money that he gave was from the american tax payer.
NEW YORK – Sen. Barack Obama, with a donation of nearly $1 million, and a son of Libyan dictator Muammar Gadhafi were among the biggest contributors to the presidential campaign of controversial Kenyan leader Raila Odinga, according to an internal document obtained by WND. (source – WorldNetDaily.com)
There are many October surprises but this one is so explosive that it could knock the roof off the rafters and leave nothing but the nails. The Republicans could only be so lucky.
Round III – The Debate (McCain vs Obama)
Tonight, Democratic Nominee Barack Obama and Republican Nominee John McCain square off in their 3rd debate. The first two debates were cordial and almost downright boring. Tonight, John McCain, who many say is “way” behind in the polls has a chance to really do some damage but he needs to pull a rabbit out of the hat and hold it high for everyone to see. Something to make Obama grasp for answers and look out of place.
Obama has been cool and collected the past two debates after what happened to him a few months ago at the faith based event where McCain cleaned his clock. Obama has been careful not to take any town hall debates with McCain over the last couple of months as he refrained from really debating more with Clinton in the democratic primaries.
I think that Barack feels the more he debates, the more he can slip up and so he stays away from them.
McCain has so much to work with tonight. American Terrorist Bill Ayers, Frank Marshall Wright, Odinga, Jeremiah Wright, ACORN, Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, Obama’s 95% tax rebate policy, Father Flannigan and many more. McCain can exploit any of these things here but he has to make Obama uncomfortable from the start and keep it coming. If Obama gets a spot to where he gets comfortable, he can play the four corners on McCain and frustrate him for not getting out his agenda.
He’s done that already with putting out talking points already to the Drudge Report and other websites.
If it were me, I would hit hard on the 95% no taxes that Obama has been promising. The Wall Street Journal wrote about it just a couple of days ago when they said this:
Here’s the political catch. All but the clean car credit would be “refundable,” which is Washington-speak for the fact that you can receive these checks even if you have no income-tax liability. In other words, they are an income transfer — a federal check — from taxpayers to nontaxpayers. Once upon a time we called this “welfare,” or in George McGovern’s 1972 campaign a “Demogrant.” Mr. Obama’s genius is to call it a tax cut.
The Tax Foundation estimates that under the Obama plan 63 million Americans, or 44% of all tax filers, would have no income tax liability and most of those would get a check from the IRS each year. The Heritage Foundation’s Center for Data Analysis estimates that by 2011, under the Obama plan, an additional 10 million filers would pay zero taxes while cashing checks from the IRS.
Honestly, this shouldn’t be that hard for McCain but we have seen stranger things. The problem for McCain is the networks of MSNBC, CBS, ABC, CNN and a few more. See, what is going on in the media is a game of scorned journalist turned play-by-play analyst. After the entire debate is over, CNN will show that Obama has won the debate whether he did or not. That really plays bad because they have somewhat of a large audience from time to time.
It probably won’t be good at all but we shall see. So goes the debates tonight.
Natural Born Citizen? Is Obama Legal to run for President of the United States
Well, this is simply the nail in the coffin. IF he can’t respond to this with the correct information, this is called check mate my friends. What is Obama hiding that he can’t respond to these allegations?? Sooner or later it will come to the forefront and it could be too late. If this happens after he is elected…the United States will be embarassed and the Democratic Party might never recover with a black candidate again.
Rezko Starts to Talk and Seriously this could Go Bad for Obama
So now you are telling me that Obama’s friend of more than 10 years is spilling the beans? Why would he do something like this? He has been watching Obama’s back for the last 4-5 years. If he wanted to come out with something he would have did it a long time ago. Right?
Tony Rezko, convicted of charges of corruption and bribery earlier this calendar year has seen fit to spill the beans so to say. The Associated Press (remarkably) reported the matter “The political fallout could be explosive”. I say that because the Associated press has been siding with Obama stories for the last few months now.
Rezko has connections to almost every Democratic player in Chicago, Illinois such as prominent indivudals Governor Rod Blagojevich and Senator Barack Obama. Blagojevich is probably the most vulnerable because he also faced multiple federal investigations over job handouts and money with advice from said name Rezko.
But then again Obama is also vulnerable because Rezko funded Obama early in his career and helped Obama purchase an expensive home with a super duper discount. Rezko also offered Obama a job when he finished law school. The deep cut could be labeled a scrape because the prosecutors might just only find minor infractions but to say the least…just being brought up with Rezko could be damage enough.
Is this Obama’s “October surprise”? Some feel that way For instance, The website HillBuzz, for instance, reported on Saturday that its information led it to believe that Obama could potentially face charges. The Chicago political landscape has always faced scrutiny especially when elections were held in the 60s and dead people rose to vote for Kennedy.
Mark Hemingway too explained for NRO’s the Corner:
So Obama chose to have him associated with his campaign. This was well after it became public that Giannoulias had loaned $11.8 million to Michael Giorango, a convicted bookmaker and
prostitution promoter. Giannoulias first denied he personally approved the loan, then Chicago Tribune reported that Giannoulias personally oversaw $11.8 million in mortgage loans to Giorango in 2005. Then
Giannoulias said the money had not gone to finance Casinos for organized crime. He appears to have lied again: “But newly obtained records show that $3.6 million of the recent loans were used by
Giorango and another convicted felon to acquire a casino boat marina in Myrtle Beach, S.C.,” reported the Tribune.
It’s not like the Obama campaign can credibly say they didn’t know about this before he was out raising money for the campaign. But I’d like to believe major news agencies might want to pull a few reporters
out of dumpsters in Wasilla (probably starting to get really cold up there anyway) and get them to Chicago to look into a potential Rezko-Giannoulias connection toot sweet. Maybe there’s nothing there,
but it’s worth looking into right?
Honestly, if this happens, it will be huge news. Problem is Obama seems teflon these days. Nothing sticks to him and he has a great spin meister in David Axlerod who also hails from Illinois and has his own problems too.
Are you informed enough to Vote for Obama??
This is funny in a way but is this true
Let me start with this “live” survey done in Harlem.
http://www.bpmdeejays.com/upload/hs_sal_in_Harlem_100108.mp3
After listening to that and the mainstream media, most of you have decided that you are going to vote for Obama because he is going to “bring change”. Actually, anyone that takes the White House is going to bring change for the next four years….because Bush is out of office after eight years.
The problem is that most of you think that McCain is a extension of George Bush and why….because the Democratic Party along with Barack Obama has told you that. Instead of Barack Obama focusing on McCain/Palin, he has been running against an adversary that won’t even living in the White House after January 20, 2009.
You are blinded to the fact that you really know nothing about him except for he’s black. You hide the fact that you are voting for him for that reason when asked and your the 2nd thing you say is “I am not voting for him just because he’s black”…….but that is the underlining tone you are when you don’t know his policies, his beliefs, his accomplishments (or lack thereof), his friends that make up his genetic being and beliefs, because you are so tunnel visioned through the main stream media that you can’t make an informed decision?
I am a Democrat. I have voted for Bill Clinton, John Kerry and everything democratic. This year I am voting for John McCain. The way this country is going, I feel that experience weighs more than the unknown which Obama poses. Who is this guy? Why does he have a relationship with a convicted felon in Tony Rezko? Or even a Detroit Mayor in Kwame Kilpatrick who just was convicted. Jeremiah Wright….need I say more? Odinga…a family member in Kenya that lost an election and not rising up with the backing of Obama to enforce Sharia Law that will cause a overturn of that election. How about William Ayers and Bernadine Dorn – American terrorist that helped him get elected in Chicago but won’t say I am sorry for bombing american establishments or killing people and would have been convicted but the government illegally wiretapped them and the case was thrown out. People wake up …..these judgment decisions are just too much to handle. It’s not because he’s black that I bring these up…if McCain had this many questionable relationships it would be out there quick as quick. He wouldn’t even be a Senator for as long as he has been. But Obama has shot up the ranks with questionable fund raising from people named “Doodad” to “Mr Good Will” and you don’t think that’s strange. Actually, you don’t want to think it strange because that would cause an avalanche in your brain that you are making a huge mistake in voting for someone that could be wrong for this country. How could you even force yourself to think that way…..
Obama represents socialism in it’s worse way with the redistribution of wealth. Basically, if you have worked your hardest to provide for your family and make a good healthy living, then the Government should be allowed to take more of what you have made and give it to the poor and people that wish not to work…Is that really right? I mean some people need help and that is where the communities come in and should help these people get back on their feet (community organizing, faith-based organizations and charities, etc.) We should not depend on our government to do anything for us except maintain the security that we live in.
I am not even torn anymore to vote for McCain because I am not “drinking the media kool-aid” Listen, politicians are quick to point out when they are running for office that they “Walked with Martin Luther King Jr” to help sway some black votes. What they are doing now is setting up themselves down the road to day “I was there and was instrumental in helping to elect the 1st Black President”. The media WILL NOT REPORT ANYTHING BAD ABOUT OBAMA because it would seem racists or would be taken as such. Oh I peeped out what you are doing MSNBC, CBS, ABC, CNN, NBC, Huffington Post, Politico, etc.). It’s obvious to the open minded how you have short-sided America in giving them the truth
With the way the markets are at this present time, his hands are going to be strapped in what he can do and thus…he’s been set up to fail and you are pushing him into the job….because he’s black. Sorry peeps, I have a mind of my own for which I can think and something isn’t right about this….
You have to sit back and look at what has transpired over the last 20 months. A president that you loved or had great admiration over (Clinton) was labeled a racist based on a lie generated by the main stream media and that burnt like brushfire among the african american leaders/communities. Then the Obama campaign trashed Hillary to a part where she had no chance.
Bottom line, you can’t question Obama or you will be seen as being a racist. You can’t check into his background or you will get the same thing. You can’t have another opinion about him or you would be seen in a bad light and people…..that is not right.
More to follow…………
