OBAMAPHOBIA

Israel and the Diaspora, hysterically Obamaphobic, have been screaming for the bombing of Iran as she steadily grows in economic and military power. But now, since instigating the bombing of Iraq, no one hears these screams of the damned.

Why is it taking President Bush and Prime Minister Brown so long to again don their beanies and head for Israel, to renew their sacred vows of undying allegiance to Israel? Is it possible that these political prostitutes have betrayed the honor entrusted with them?

Why is it taking Supreme Mullah Khamenei so long to call for a fresh flood of Iranian blood, a great martyrdom that would lend credibility to Israel’s Obamaphobia? It is possible that the Iranians and Arabs have finally grown wise to Israel’s Neo-Marxist tactic of inciting mortal strife between Muslims and Christians?

Europeans, wildly Obamaphilic, have been cheering for peacemaker Obama and sneering at warmonger McCain. Is it possible that they condemn Israel’s land robbery and war crimes against the Palestinian People and instigation of the Iraq War, enabled by their sustainable parasitism on the wealth and blood of the American People? Is Obama their hope for a friendlier and safer World?

Why do the Russians and Chinese have loaded nuclear weapons pointed at the head of Israel? Is it possible that Israel’s arsenal of 150 nuclear weapons is a threat to some of their vital defenses?

Are Israel and the Diaspora inherently incapable of realizing that Nemesis eternally determines their special fate? What do these Judeofascist Land Robbers not see when they look in the mirror?

Hey Danielle! CHANGE YOUR MIND

You sound like an Obama commericial. You want the truth??? Congress has been running the country for the last two years. Yes, George Bush has some blame but so does everyone in congress. We have had some serious issues as well, including the .com bust, 9/11, housing crisis, war, 30 million illegal aliens. Not all of these are George's fault. Yes we can do better, but don't go off in the total opposite direction because he talks a good talk. What has he done? There are probably 10,000 facebook users with more foreign affairs experience than OBAMA. Gas an oil prices have more to do with the NYMEX and changes to the way options are traded than George Bush.

Dig a little deeper Danielle you sound uneducated when the headlines pop out of your mouth as an argument. Don't let the surface be your stopping point for learning. Dig deeper on both sides. Seek the truth and quit listening to those who want you to remain uneducated with how the world operates. It is too easy to blame one man for america's problems

OBAMA FOR PRES!

It is amazing that you hammer a girl from alaska for apsiring to be VP but you say she has no experience. What happens if McCain dies??? But you are in Favor of Electing a man who has the same or less experience to hold the most powerful position in the world. What sensible american would allow this to happen? This isnt a fairy tale. FY! Truman got us into Vietnam!

Are you experienced?

Yup, I'm from the age-group that remembers that album. We were aware of world politics just enough to understand that JFK's victory offered a new and brighter light to the world, not just the USA. So we followed all the electoral strong moments that culminated in JFK's victory, and we followed the firm and thoughtful hand he used to solve the Cuban missile crisis. Sure, he got victory's euphoria bad, and didn't see the Bay of Pigs disaster coming soon enough. A good lesson for Barack Obama...

Because the moaning and groaning that JFK was inexperienced is the same as we now have that Barack Obama lacks experience, and equally irrelevant. A dumb war-monger like McCain will get you into a war far quicker than an intelligent and peaceful yet strong person like Obama. Obama will be well aware of the way JFK helped blind-side himself for the Bay of Pigs; he won't get caught by victory euphoria, no way.

But McCain is fundamentally bellicose, and prides himself on starnge achievements. Getting captured by the enemy is not a plus point, even though it's McCain's second most frequent claim to experience, and his experience of "foreign policy" so far hasn't actually produced any McCain master-strokes. He just goes along with the majority, joins the victory parades at the back and pushes forward to be beside the real movers and shakers at the front, just in time for the pictures to be taken. Opportunism in self-promotion is not experience of government, it's just an ego-trip.

Finally, the experience that McCain does have is in obsequious support to nearly all of Bush's blundering bad ideas. Taking a consistent line in smoke-blowing really is not a strong point on a Presidential candidate's resume. Only McCain thinks it is. America, please do not inflict on us 4 more years of what the world has been through for the past 8 years, all of which is in immediate continuance to what has been inflicted on the USA in that time. We want democracy, and the USA, as world leader in democracy, must be strong and forward-thinking. Then we want world stability, and the country that should lead the way in world stability, the USA, must be strong and forward-thinking. And any examples you care to add all point the same way: We need Obama to win 99.9999% as much as you do.

Experience?

Make a comparison of the experience of George W Bush when he entered the White House and Barak Obama. President Bush had oil experience and baseball experience. He was governor of a weak executive state (Texas) where the Speaker of the House has more clout than the governor. How does that compare with experience in the wards of Chicago, state legislator and US Senator?

Ride a different horse.

Robert McArtor, you say

"we still come away not knowing his accomplishments"

That's because there aren't any. His list of legislative accomplishments is so short, he talked about it on "60 minutes" but they still had 59 minutes to fill. (Credit to President Reagan for that--I don't plagiarize like "Bulldog" Biden)

She has more executive experience (and notably) more SUCCESSFUL legislative experience. Which doesn't matter--it's McCain vs Obama. But I do think it is hilarious that our VP is being knocked by Obama for her "lack of experience" when in truth she has more executive experience than Obama himself.

I'm Brian of Michigan and I approve this message.

distinguished America

being the land of second chance doesn't pay me

We've better sweep away the Obamas kind of cynical money makers,servant of the leftist orgs and professional buffoon

Barak's Brother

Something Barak can do is get his brother out of that hut in Africa. He and Michelle make $3 million, surely they can give brother a place at their house.

OBAMA AND BIDEN BLOODY OFFENSIVE (Ed.)

Obama and Biden, as leaders in the American Cultural War, shall take the bloody offensive in restoring traditional international good will, patriotism, Christian culture, and Constitutional rule of law.

The Republican Party suffers from malignant Podhoretz Neo-Conservative cancer; and the Democrat Party suffers from malignant Leiberman Neo-Liberal cancer. These Crypto-Neo-Marxist cancers are mutations of that malignant Marxist cancer that mortally devastated Russia, by successfully dividing her patriots against each other.

The America People got these Crypto-Neo-Marxist cancers at the end of the Second World War, when they naively accepted millions of pitiful defeated Marxist refugees from Nazi Germany and Marxist Soviet Union. History suggests that the ultimate fate of these Neo-Marxists shall be the same as it was everywhere in Europe. Reagan Republicans and Kennedy Liberals, by uniting against this common enemy and using the powers granted by the Constitution, shall permanently end their subversive activities. Then America shall be singing, “God Bless America”, and the United Nations shall be cheering.
