Clinton and Obama Lock in Iraq Positions During Debate

During the debate in Pennsylvania, both Democrats left little room for changing their minds on Iraq

Rashid Khalidi

The Rashid Khalidi article published April 10th in the L.A. Times may have stoked Hillary Clinton to mention Senator Obama's associations, such as Rezko, Ayres, etc. without mentioning Mr. Khalidi. My point is it is entirely possible that a Clinton operative presented the going away celebration of Khalidi tape. In other words should a public outcry develop that forces the L.A. Times to publish the tape or a transcript, we could find out that the Clinton's fingerprints are all over this! It is equally tantalizing that perhaps the reason the Clinton's are working so hard for Obama is because Obama knows it was a Clinton associate that handed the L.A. Times the tape! While Obama could lose the election, the Clinton's would lose everything. Better an Obama as president, than Obama as holder of the Clinton cards. Just a thought.

Good Luck BO!

You'll need it if you're the nominee!

Obama and the Country of Doom

Obama spells doom for this country. Not only because of his dubious affiliations with mob members like Rezko and criminals like Auchi, but because of his lack of experience and bias education especially his bizarre religious affiliations. He is like silly putty; able to change his ideas for the public as needed so as to achieve his goal as supreme leader.

His intentions are unclear, but his affiliations are clear. Being surrounded with people like the violent Ayers, or the Hiteresque Wright, or his American hating wife Michelle, or his Kenyan half brother Islamic Jihad terrorist Abongo “Roy” Obama, or his Jewish/Israeli hating best friend Rashid Khalidi, or his close advisor Robert Malley who advocates supporting and helping the terrorist group Hamas, or Mr. McPeaks, Obama’s military advisor who open believes American Jews are the "problem." and “Christian Zionists were driving America's policy in Iraq to benefit Israel,” or Obama’s super delegate and major long term supporter Senator Meeks who openly hates and distrust all whites and gays or Obama’s most dangerous affiliation to Mr. Auchi who was Saddam Hussein right hand man and made billions in Iraq and has been a important supporter and behind the scene man throughout Obama’s rise to power.

And besides all this questionable laundry in Obama’s life, another serious question is why is Obama protected and promoted by the media? Is this also being directed from behind the scenes? The American public has been fooled before and I guess those in power know we can be fooled again. (Kennedy’s assassination, Martin Luther King’s assassination, the invasion of Iraq…).

The fact that Obama has made it this far demonstrates the collective lack of discriminative intelligence and education of this country. And nothing demonstrates this better than how well Obama plays his black card; which plays on our fear of being labeled a racist.

America Cares!!!

Of course it would seem that it was a team effort by the moderators and Senator Clinton to assasinate Obama's character. As always, it was due to the fact that Mr. Obama has the tendency to choose poor words (probably written personally by George Soros and his cronies). Ha.... Perhaps he should have asked Reverend Wright for spiritual guidance before going on that debate, Mr. Soros for what to say and Rezko to pick up expenses incurred for this nationally televised debate, and the press to console him after the debate. Hillary has the experience to handle such situation, and too bad if Mr. Obama's fans felt that everybody tried to get him.

some substance in the debate

Hillary's latest position goes one step beyone McCain, by vowing to commit our troops to protecting virtually any country in the Middle East. This would be frightening if anyone believed her. There's a good chance that she's just trying to steal away a small percentage of McCain voters in the PA primary (and she really knows that things are different from what she's telling us) - I hope!?

Obama has no ability to ad lib or think on his feet

Obama doesn't even belong in this race; he's out of tune with most of society, unless of course you count those who haven't even graduated or lived on their own and had any responsibility short of applying for student loans.

All the trash thrown at Clinton is just that. If you can look at both these candidates and say seriously that you would choose Obama then you can't be thinking of anything about anything real in the world. Obama is for himself; Clinton will get down to business and isn't looking to promote herself. She's had a struggle in the public opinion for a deceptive spousal act. Gee, how many of you have had some extra thing out there and not told your partner? Is this a reason to trash her. I think not. Clinton is the most intelligent candidate we have and despite all that's been said about Bill we had a balanced budget for once.

I can't personally see anything Obama has to bring to the party.

Command And Control

The President set the objective.

The General Officers plan the mission to achieve the objective.

The Congress examines the Objective.

When Congress determines the Objective is just, it funds the mission.

The People examine each of the above and provide feedback to the elected body.

Please stop blaming your President as the only decision maker here.

Start providing thoughtful consistent feedback to your governing body of this United States.

Good One!

Is this a blog or a professional piece? It's hard to tell these days.

debate

the democrats now have two unelectable canadates.......people will vote for mccain out of protest of the two pathetic democratic canadates.......now is the time for gore to step in and win the presidency........earth first........all ways.............

A highschool popularity contest

I'm tired of this media crap. If you can't see through all the mud-slinging going on during this debate, you should change the channel to "jerry springer" or "real world" and dont vote. The reason why the media feeds us two weeks of the Anna Nichole's death coverage, or hourly updates on brittney spears drunken problems, is because idiots out there watch it instead of actual news.

I turn on ABC to see what the candidates want to do for their country. I do NOT care what personal flaws they have. This campaign is NOT a highschool prom queen/king contest, and anyone who treats it like that is not patriotic in my opinion. EVERY president we EVER had did something that was not politicly correct.

Abraham Lincoln didn't wear a flag pin 24/7...I guess we should take down his memorial.

Washinton had slaves and grew pot...I guess we should take him off the dollar bill.

Franklin was a sex addict and pervert...I guess we should stop using electricity.

And the list goes on...

I'm not a politician, so i can say this openly. "Anyone who votes in this up-coming election, with only the knowledge of the one-line smear propoganda as a guide, is personally ruining this country." The first thing you should consider when electing an official is that the person with the best "smearing attacks" is also the most backstabbing, shady candidate. This candidate is the person that will tell the American people one thing, while collecting money for doing the oppisite behind our backs.
