From Michael Master of McLean, VA
To Barack Hussein Obama,
The New York Times carried a story on Saturday, October 4, 2008, that proved you had a significantly closer relationship with Bill Ayers than what you previously admitted. While the issue of your relationship is of concern, the greater concern is that you lied to America about it.
The Chicago Sun reported on May 8, 2008, that FBI records showed that you had a significantly closer relationship with Tony Rezko 20 than what you previously admitted. In the interview, you said that you only saw Mr. Rezko a couple of times a year. The FBI files showed that you saw him weekly. While the issue of your relationship is of concern, the greater concern is that you lied to America about it.
Your speech in Philadelphia on March 18, 2008, about “race” contradicted your statement to Anderson Cooper on March 14 when you said that you never heard Reverend Wright make his negative statements about white America . While your attendance at Trinity Church for 20 years is of concern, the greater concern is that you lied to America on March 14.
In your 1st debate with John McCain, you said that you never said that you would meet with the leaders of Cuba, Venezuela, Iran, and North Korea without “preparations” at lower levels … Joe Biden repeated your words in his debate with Sarah Palin … while the video tape from your debate last February clearly shows that you answered “I would” to the question of meeting with those leaders within 12 months without “any” preconditions. While your judgement about meeting with enemies of the USA without pre-conditions is of concern, the greater concern is that you lied to America in the debate with McCain.
On July 14, 2008, you said that you always knew that the surge would work while the video tapes of you from more than a year ago show that you stated that the surge would not work. While your judgement about military strategy as a potential commander-in-chief is of concern, the greater concern is that you lied to America on July 14.
You now claim that your reason for voting against funding for the troops was because the bill did not include a time line for withdrawal, while the video tapes of you from more than a year ago show that you voted against additional funding because you wanted our troops to be removed immediately … not in 16 months after the 2008 election as you now claim. While your judgment about removing our troops unilaterally in 2007 is of concern, the greater concern is that you lied to America about your previous position.
You claim to have a record of working with Republicans while the record shows that the only bill that you sponsored with a Republican was with Chuck Lugar … and it failed. The record shows that you vote 97% in concert with the Democrat party and that you have the most liberal voting record in the Senate. You joined Republic ans only 13% of the time in your votes and those 13% were only after agreement from the Democrat party. While it is of concern that you fail to include conservatives in your actions and that you are such a liberal, the greater concern is that you distorted the truth.
In the primary debates of last February, 2008, you claimed to have talked with a “Captain” of a platoon in Afghanistan “the other day” when in fact you had a discussion in 2003 with a In your debates last spring, you claimed to have been a “professor of Constitutional law” when in fact you have never been a professor of Constitutional law. In this last debate, you were careful to say that you “taught a law class” and never mentioned being a “professor of Constitutional law.” You lied last spring.
You and Joe Biden both claimed that John McCain voted against additional funding for our troops when the actual records show the opposite. You distorted the truth.
You and Joe Biden claim that John McCain voted against funding for alternate energy sources 20 times when the record shows that John McCain specifically voted against funding for bio fuels, especially corn … and he was right ….. corn is too expensive at producing ethanol, and using corn to make ethanol increased the price of corn from $2 a bushel to $6 a bushel for food. You distorted the truth.
You and Joe Biden claim that John McCain voted like both of you for a tax increase on those making as little as $42,000 per year while the voting record clearly shows that John McCain did not vote as you and Joe Biden. You lied to America .
You and Joe Biden claim that John McCain voted with George W. Bush 90% of the time when you know that Democrats also vote 90% of the time with the President (including Joe Biden) because the vast majority of the votes are procedural. You are one of the few who has not voted 90% of the time with the president because you have been missing from the Senate since the day you got elected. While your absence from your job in the Senate is of concern, the greater concern is that you spin the facts.
You did not take an active role in the rescue plan. You claimed that the Senate did not need you while the real reason that you abstained was because of your close relationships with the executives of Fannie Mae, Freddie Mac, Countrywide, and Acorn … who all helped cause the financial problems of today .. and they all made major contributions to your campaign. While your relationship with these executives and your protection of them for your brief 3 years in the Senate (along with Barney Frank, Chuck Schumer, Maxine Waters, and Chris Dodd) is of concern, the greater concern is that you are being deceitful.
You forgot to mention that you personally represented Tony Rezko and Acorn. Tony Rezko, an Arab and close friend to you, was convicted of fraud in Chicago real estate transactions that bilked millions of tax dollars from the Illinois government for renovation projects that you sponsored as a state senator … and Acorn has been convicted of voter fraud, real estate sub prime loan intimidation, and illegal campaign contributions. Tony Rezko has contributed hundreds of thousands of dollars to your political campaigns. You personally used your political positions to steer money to both Tony Rezko and Acorn and you used Acorn to register thousands of phony voters for Democrats and you. While your relationships with Rezko and Acorn are of concern, the greater concern is that you omitted important facts about your relationships with them to America .
During your campaign, you said: “typical white person.” “They cling to their guns and religion.” “They will say that I am black.” You played the race card. You tried to label any criticism about you as racist. You divide America .
You claim that you will reduce taxes for 95% of America , but you forgot to tell America that those reductions are after you remove the Bush tax reductions. You have requested close to $1 billion in earmarks and several million for Acorn. Your social programs will cost America $1 trillion per year and you claim that a reduction in military spending ($100 billion for Iraq ) can pay for it. While your economic plan of adding 30% to the size of our federal government is of concern, the greater concern is that you are deceiving America .
The drain to America ’s economy by foreign supplied oil is $700 billion per year (5% of GDP) while the war in Iraq is $100 billion (less than 1% of GDP). You voted against any increases to oil exploration for the last 3 years and any expansion of nuclear facilities. Yet today, you say that you have always been for more oil and more nuclear. You are lying to America .
Mr. Obama, you claimed that you “changed” your mind about public financing for your campaign because of the money spent by Republican PACs in 2004. The truth is that the Democrat PACs in 2004, 2006, and 2008 spent twice as much as the Republicans (especially George Soros and MoveOn.org). You are lying to America .
Mr. Obama, you have done nothing to stop the actions of the teachers union and college professors in the USA . They eliminated religion from our history. They teach pro gay agendas and discuss sex with students as young as first grade. They bring their personal politics into the classrooms. They disparage conservatives. They brainwash our children. They are in it for themselves ….. not America . Are you reluctant to condemn their actions because teachers/professors and the NEA contribute 2 5% of all money donated to Democrats and none to Republicans? You are deceiving America .
Oh, Mr. Obama, Teddy Roosevelt said about a hundred years ago that we Americans should first look at the character of our leaders before anything else.
Your character looks horrible. While you make good speeches, motivating speeches, your character does not match your rhetoric. You talk the talk, but do not walk the walk.
1. You lied to America . You lied many times. You distorted facts. You parsed your answers like a lawyer.
2. You distorted the record of John McCain in your words and in your advertisements.
3. You had associations with some very bad people for your personal political gains and then lied about those associations.
4. You divide America about race and about class.
Now let me compare your record of lies, distortions, race baiting, and associations to John McCain: War hero. Annapolis graduate with “Country first.” Operational leadership experience like all 43 previously elected presidents of the USA as a Navy officer for 22 years. 26 years in the Senate. Straight talk. Maverick. 54% of the time participated on bills with Democrats. Never asked for an earmark. The only blemish on his record is his part in the Keating 5 debacle about 25 years ago.
Mr. Obama, at Harvard Law School , you learned that the end does not justify the means. You learned that perjury, false witness, dishonesty, distortion of truth are never tolerated. Yet, your dishonesty is overwhelming. Your dishonesty is tremendously greater than the dishonesty that caused the impeachment and disbarment of Bill Clinton. Your dishonesty is tremendously greater than the dishonesty of Scooter Libby. You should be ashamed.
Mr. Obama, it is time for us Americans to put aside our differences on political issues and vote against you because of your dishonest character. It is time for all of us Americans to put aside our political issues and vote for America first. It is time for America to vote for honesty.
Any people who vote for you after understanding that you are dishonest should be ashamed of themselves for making their personal political issues more important than character. Would these same people vote for the anti-Christ if the anti-Christ promised them riches ? Would they make a golden calf while Moses was up the mountain? Would they hire someone for a job if that someone lied in an interview? Of course not. So why do some of these people justify their votes for you even though they know you are dishonest? Why do they excuse your dishonesty?
Because some of these people are frightened about the future, the economy, and their financial security …. and you are preying on their fears with empty promises … and because some (especially our young people) are consumed by your wonderful style and promises for “change” like the Germans who voted for Adolf Hitler in 1932. The greed/envy by Germans in 1932 kept them from recognizing Hitler for who he was. They loved his style. Greed and envy are keeping many Americans from recognizing you .. your style has camouflaged your dishonesty …. but many of us see you for who you really are … and we will not stop exposing who you are every day, forever if it is necessary.
Mr. Obama, you are dishonest. Anyone who votes for you is enabling dishonesty.
Mr. Obama , America cannot trust that you will put America first in your decisions about the future.
Mr. Obama, you are not the “change” that America deserves. We cannot trust you.
Mr. Obama, You are not ready and not fit to be commander-in-chief.
Mr. Obama, John McCain does not have as much money as your campaign to refute all of your false statements. And for whatever reasons, the mainstream media will not give adequate coverage or research about your lies, distortions, word parsing, bad associations, race baiting, lack of operational leadership experience, and generally dishonest character. The media is diverting our attention from your relationships and ignoring the fact that you lied about those relationships. The fact that you lied is much more important than the relationships themselves …. just like with Bill Clinton and Richard Nixon … Monica Lewinski and Watergate were not nearly as bad as the fact that those men lied about the events … false witness … perjury … your relationships and bad judgements are bad on their own …. but your lies are even worse.
Therefore, by copy of this memo, all who read this memo are asked to send it to everyone else in America before it is too late. We need to do the job that the media will not do. We need to expose your dishonesty so that every person in America understands who you really are before election day.
Mr. Obama, in a democracy, we get what we deserve. And God help America if we deserve you.

A Letter To An Obamazombie: Why BHO Is Bad For The Country
Dear Obamazombie,
Please read this blog and my friend Larry’s blog No Left Turnz. They both will provide you with more information. I love you and I want you to make a truly informed decision. All of the information that I have provided can be researched on the Internet. Another good website for information is Moonbattery. Why do you like Barack Obama so much??? I really want to know. No one I have asked can tell me why they blindly support such a dangerous and inexperienced candidate. I really want you to wake up, turn off the television, and stop drinking the Kool-Aid.
Life begins at conception and if it ain’t a baby, you ain’t pregnant. Barack Obama does not believe this – except for his own kids. He NEVER would have asked or encouraged Michelle to abort their kids, yet he has no problem with others aborting theirs – including encouraging his own daughters to abort instead of being “punished with a baby”. There is no “choice” in being “pro-choice”. The truth about abortion providers is that they deceive women into thinking that killing their baby is their only option. They also fail to outline the physical and mental side-effects. I may go through a lot of pain in adopting Izzie out, but at least I know that she is alive. I do not have to live knowing that I killed my child. Every woman knows that they are carrying a baby. They just delude themselves into thinking that they’re not in order to rationalize their decision. Abortion is selfish and self-serving. There is NO WAY that an abortion would make a woman feel better about getting pregnant (the “mental health of the mother” argument). It would only make her feel worse knowing that she killed her baby. Barack Obama has no problem making Down’s syndrome babies extinct or endangered. Most babies that are aborted are either minorities (including his own race) or have Down’s. He was the ONLY state senator to argue that it is OKAY to let babies who survive a botched abortion DIE. His excuse for his vote and argument was the bill introduced did not mimic the federal legislation exactly. When it was reintroduced, this time EXACTLY mimicking the federal legislation, he still voted either “no” or “present” (essentially a “no” vote in Illinois).
Barack Obama has never taken a stand on anything – except abortion. He voted “present” over 140 times while in the Illinois State Senate. He avoids controversial votes to this day.
Do you really want someone who has no experience in the White House??? Never mind that Barack Obama has not held a real job since he flipped burgers in high school. He is clueless on how the presidency works and fancies himself a dictator. He’ll just ignore all treaties and the Constitution and make his own rules — if we the people let him. For a Constitutional lawyer with a fancy degree from Harvard, Barack Obama has no clue what the Constitution actually says. He was absent or drunk and high the day they taught the Constitution in Con Law class.
Do you really want a President with the middle name Hussein???
If you hate CHAMPUS or TriCare, you’ll REALLY hate HusseinCare. If my sister Allison was born into a country with socialized medicine, she would have died waiting for her heart surgery.
When my grandmother died, my mom hated paying Capital Gains tax on her inheritance. Do you really want your children to have to pay an exorbitant amount of tax on theirs???
Barack Obama despises “rich” people, yet he is himself “rich” by his own standard. He is a hypocrite.
If Barack Obama has surrounded himself with despicable people (Frank Marshall Davis, William Ayers, Tony Rezko, Jeremiah Wright, et al.) for the last thirty years, how can you trust or expect him to make good character judgments in choosing his Cabinet and advisors??? Also, Obama could never get a security clearance from any US intelligence agency. He could never be an employee at the White House. He could never be anywhere near a nuclear weapon or a nuclear submarine. He could never pass a basic background check by the FBI. Why? Because his relationships with Ayers and Rezko would immediately surface and could never explain away those relationships in a manner that would satisfy our security requirements. Yet, he is on the verge of being handed the keys to White House by uninformed voters and, more importantly, ACORN registered illegals.
Barack Obama will say anything to get elected – more so than John McCain. Barack Obama claims to be blue collar in rural Pennsylvania, and then turns around and tells fellow elitists in San Francisco that rural Pennsylvanians “cling to their guns and religion.” He will say whatever appeals to the particular constituency to whom he is speaking – whether or not he truly believes what he is saying. At least John McCain is consistent across constituencies.
If you hate it when blacks and Puerto Ricans move into the neighborhood, why do you want a black guy in the White House??? (saying he is half white does not count)
Barack Obama is a racist. His church, Trinity United Church of Christ, which he attended for over 20 years, espouses “Black Liberation Theology”, a “black supremacist”, Marxist, radical form of “Christianity”. It is more like a heresy. Contrary to what Barack Obama would have you believe, it is impossible to attend a church every day for 20 years, be featured in its bulletin and magazine, be mentored by its pastor, work with “community organizers” to raise funds for its “charities”, and NOT be influenced by its racist doctrine. Barack Obama is playing the American people for fools.
It is impossible that Barack Obama and William Ayers only had a casual, “he’s a guy in my neighborhood” relationship. Ayers gave Barack Obama his start in politics – at his house. Most people do not host swanky parties in their house for a stranger or acquaintance. Also, Barack Obama and Ayers have a LONG history together. They have served on many high-profile boards and organizations together through the last twenty years. Ayers is an UNREPENTANT terrorist. He stated right after 9/11 that he regrets that he didn’t do enough bombings back in the ‘60s. Most people would be turned off by those revelations. Barack Obama is not. If the past was truly in the past, and irrelevant as Barack Obama claims, then why is Ayers unrepentant and why are they friends???
How can someone with no character make character judgments???
Do you want your military member to be unemployed??? If Barack Obama becomes President, he will not disband the military, but he definitely would a) reduce its ranks considerably a la Bill Clinton in the ’90s and b) pull us out of ALL foreign countries (including NATO countries — aren’t we obligated to be in NATO countries by treaty??? — oh well, I doubt that would matter much to Barack Obama, anyway. If Barack Obama pulls us out of all foreign countries, then the US military will be nothing more than a “peacekeeping force” only brought out during national emergencies and natural disasters. Barack Obama will emasculate our military by culling the ranks, and forcing ridiculous rules of engagement and foolish liberal peacenik policies.
Barack Obama squelches free speech. His campaign has employed “Truth Squads” in Missouri to stop any legitimate criticism that does not conform to what Barack Obama and his campaign wants the country to believe. The Soviet Union did this. China does this. This is America. Again, apparently Mr. Constitutional Lawyer has failed to actually read the Constitution.
Barack Obama is in violation of the Logan Act. He illegally negotiated with Iraqi leaders to delay any agreement on a reduction of U.S. troops in Iraq until the next U.S. president takes office. The Logan Act specifically prohibits and makes it a felony for unauthorized US citizens to negotiate with foreign governments.
If “Hope” and “Change” are the themes (they CANNOT be policy positions or framework) of Barack Obama’s campaign, then why did he choose Joe Biden, a thirty-year veteran of the US Senate and a Washington insider, as his Vice President??? Most likely it is because Barack Obama (and Biden) knows that he needs his hand held while in office. Joe Biden even admitted that during the VP debate.
Barack Obama may not be a US citizen. Some of his family in Kenya claim that he was born there, while his mom was not of age long enough to qualify Obama to be an automatic US citizen according to a Hawaiian residency law that was on the books when Obama was born. Also, all attempts to properly vet him as a candidate have been met with accusations, criticism, evasion, and lack of cooperation on the part of Obama and his campaign. Again, Obama is ignoring the Constitution in his quest to become President.
Barack Obama takes credit for other people’s accomplishments. While in the Illinois Senate, Obama was handed bills that were written by other people and took the credit for crafting them and passing them – as if he is the only one in the Senate. He also has tried to take credit for John McCain’s 2005 attempt at reigning in Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac. He may have written a letter, but John McCain wrote LEGISLATION. Big Difference.
Barack Obama accepted money from Fannie and Freddie. He received the SECOND HIGHEST amount of contributions. It took Chris Dodd over 20 years to accumulate the highest amount. Obama did it in less than 2 years!!!
You despised Hillary Clinton as First Lady, yet you support Barack Obama. Michelle Obama is an Ice Queen. She makes Hillary Clinton look like Donna Reed. Michelle Obama may be more radical and more hateful than her husband.
Barack Obama’s promise of a tax cut on 95% of taxpayers is a lie. The first move Barack Obama will make as President will be to ALLOW THE BUSH TAX CUTS TO EXPIRE. That will instantly raise the taxes on the 100% of ALL working Americans who pay taxes and don’t get those payroll taxes back in full when they file those dastardly IRS forms on/before April 15th. So there’s the fallacy of his first tax lie: 95% of Americans - with emphasis on the Middle Class, of course - will get a TAX CUT. NOPE, NO WE WON’T!! That’s the big lie - “95% of Americans” or “those making less than $250,000″ [more class warfare] getting tax cuts under Obama’s “plan” is BULL. Did I mention that letting those Bush tax cuts EXPIRE raises taxes on 100% of taxpaying Americans? So, that’s tax INCREASE #1 via an Obama Presidency … and that’s just the beginning of Obama’s bizarre plethora of tax and spends craziness to force the Middle Class down into an underclass utterly dependent upon Big Government for everything. Gather up your calculator and go to Wikipedia’s homepage. Type in “Barack Obama” and in “advance search”, type in “certificate”. His platform plans are laid out on all levels should he become the President. Keep in mind the current cost of daily living, the national economic crisis we’re facing, future prices of energy since Democrats have taken control of the Congress alone, and the national deficit. As a reasonable, logical person, do you prefer the wisdom of an experienced painter or the enticement of a neon sign?
Barack Obama and the rest of the Liberals in Congress are so blinded by their shear hatred of President Bush that they want to undo EVERYTHING, good or bad, that he did during his Presidency.
Please consider these points carefully before you make your decision on Election Day. Do not be intimidated by pollsters and community rabble-rousers.
Love,

Egotism, Hubris, And Megalomania AKA An Obama Speech -- Part 1
Looking at the photos from last night's Obama worship service, I can't help but think of the tired, old Hitler comparisons. After 70 years, they still apply.
"To Chairman Dean and my great friend Dick Durbin; and to all my fellow citizens of this great nation.
With profound gratitude and great humility, I accept your nomination for presidency of the United States."
Humility??? My eye. How can he say he's humble when he constructs a mock White House to accept his nomination? The answer is, he can't.
"Let me express my thanks to the historic slate of candidates who accompanied me on this journey, and especially the one who traveled the farthest -- a champion for working Americans and an inspiration to my daughters and yours -- Hillary Rodham Clinton. To President Bill Clinton, who made last night the case for change as only he can make it; to Ted Kennedy, who embodies the spirit of service; and to the next vice president of the United States, Joe Biden, I thank you. I am grateful to finish this journey with one of the finest statesmen of our time, a man at ease with everyone from world leaders to the conductors on the Amtrak train he still takes home every night."
Go ahead and thank the Clintons. Thank them for helping you hand over the election to John McCain. Ted Kennedy embodies the spirit of service??? Maybe to hookers. Ted Kennedy embodies the spirit of Moonbattery. He also embodies an unrepentant heart for the death of Mary Jo Kopeckne. No, Ted, you will not ever live that one down. It will haunt you even after you're gone. It is part of your legacy. Joe Biden one of the finest statesmen of our time??? He has been in the Senate for 36 years and is known for what??? He is as accomplished as BHO, but with more time doing it -- absolutely nothing. He is known for opening his mouth when he shouldn't, being a Senator, and running for President -- just like Barack Obama. They're a perfect fit. Ok, I'll give credit to Joe for commuting home to be with his family every night. That is commendable. But it still does not qualify one for the second-highest office in the land. You've gotta do better than that.
"To the love of my life, our next first lady, Michelle Obama, and to Malia and Sasha -- I love you so much, and I'm so proud of you."
I hope and pray that BHO does not become POTUS, and that the Ice Queen does not become First Lady. Does he really love his kids, or does he use them as political props like he does everyone else???
"Four years ago, I stood before you and told you my story -- of the brief union between a young man from Kenya and a young woman from Kansas who weren't well off or well-known, but shared a belief that in America, their son could achieve whatever he put his mind to."
He hasn't told us much about his story. He has left us with many more questions than answers, and it will cost him this election.
"It is that promise that has always set this country apart -- that through hard work and sacrifice, each of us can pursue our individual dreams but still come together as one American family, to ensure that the next generation can pursue their dreams as well."
Yes. Hard work and sacrifice. Not hand outs and affirmative action. One American family??? Not on his life. We ARE NOT a socialist country, but a democracy.
"That's why I stand here tonight. Because for 232 years, at each moment when that promise was in jeopardy, ordinary men and women -- students and soldiers, farmers and teachers, nurses and janitors -- found the courage to keep it alive."
And we are determined to keep it that way, unlike him. He is going to destroy the American Dream to appease our enemies. Traitor.
"We meet at one of those defining moments -- a moment when our nation is at war, our economy is in turmoil, and the American promise has been threatened once more."
The American Dream has been threatened by BHO and his Leftist ilk.
"Tonight, more Americans are out of work and more are working harder for less. More of you have lost your homes and even more are watching your home values plummet. More of you have cars you can't afford to drive, credit card bills you can't afford to pay, and tuition that's beyond your reach.
These challenges are not all of government's making. But the failure to respond is a direct result of a broken politics in Washington and the failed policies of George W. Bush."
And it's not Bush's fault. The broken politics in Washington are a direct result of Democrats refusing to pass any legislation propsed by a Republican and/or endorsed by President Bush. It's all part of a plan to make Bush look ineffective by Congress obstructing the legislative process -- and it's not working. Congress has a lower approval rating than the President. As far as cars you can't afford to drive, unless it is strictly because of gas prices, you should have thought of that before you bought it. As far as credit card bills you can't afford to pay, why did you buy things that you can't afford?? It's called personal responsibility.
"America, we are better than these last eight years. We are a better country than this."
America is better when it is not led by Moonbats.
"This country is more decent than one where a woman in Ohio, on the brink of retirement, finds herself one illness away from disaster after a lifetime of hard work."
This is a sad story, but how is it the government's fault???
"We're a better country than one where a man in Indiana has to pack up the equipment he's worked on for 20 years and watch it shipped off to China, and then chokes up as he explains how he felt like a failure when he went home to tell his family the news."
Again a sad story. Outsourcing is damaging America's economy, but GWB is not to blame. Blame all of those big-government loving, business-hating, tax-and-spend politicians (mostly Democrats) who created the taxes and regulations that made outsourcing overseas more attractive to American companies.
"We are more compassionate than a government that lets veterans sleep on our streets and families slide into poverty; that sits on its hands while a major American city drowns before our eyes."
Yes, the government should take care of its veterans. After all, it is our veterans who worked for the government by serving this country and the government should return the favor. But, with that said, it is not the government's responsibility to take care of people (non-government civilians. The government should only be responsible for the care of its employees and their families. Government's job is to govern -- that means create and pass laws and enforce the rule of law. That's it. It is the people's job to take care of each other.
"Tonight, I say to the people of America, to Democrats and Republicans and independents across this great land -- enough! This moment -- this election -- is our chance to keep, in the 21st century, the American promise alive. Because next week, in Minnesota, the same party that brought you two terms of George Bush and Dick Cheney will ask this country for a third. And we are here because we love this country too much to let the next four years look just like the last eight. On November 4, we must stand up and say: 'Eight is enough.'"
"Eight is Enough." Great catch-phrase, but very misleading. John McCain is no George W. Bush. In fact, McCain disagrees with Bush more than he agrees with him. They just so happen to belong to the same political party. Just as not all Democrats are Leftist moonbats, not all Republicans are lock-step with George W. Bush.
"Now let there be no doubt. The Republican nominee, John McCain, has worn the uniform of our country with bravery and distinction, and for that we owe him our gratitude and our respect. And next week, we'll also hear about those occasions when he's broken with his party as evidence that he can deliver the change that we need."
Enough said. What more evidence does this guy need??
"But the record's clear: John McCain has voted with George Bush 90 percent of the time. Sen. McCain likes to talk about judgment, but really, what does it say about your judgment when you think George Bush has been right more than 90 percent of the time? I don't know about you, but I'm not ready to take a 10 percent chance on change."
I doubt that Bush was right 90% of the time, but also doubt that he was wrong 90% of the time, either. It's probably something like 50-50 or 60-40. I certainly don't want a chance of a BHO presidency. I would rather elect someone with whom I agree 60% of the time, than some with whom I disagree 100% of the time.
"The truth is, on issue after issue that would make a difference in your lives -- on health care and education and the economy -- Sen. McCain has been anything but independent. He said that our economy has made "great progress" under this president. He said that the fundamentals of the economy are strong. And when one of his chief advisers -- the man who wrote his economic plan -- was talking about the anxieties that Americans are feeling, he said that we were just suffering from a "mental recession," and that we've become, and I quote, 'a nation of whiners.'"
We have become a nation of whiners. We have become spoiled brats. We have lost our sense of personal responsibility. That's a good chunk of the reason why we have the economic troubles we do -- because people bought things that they can't afford and now they are facing the consequences and want someone else to bail them out. These are the consequences of prosperity. American companies and consumers became greedy. Banks approved loans and credit for people who could not afford to pay them, and people bought homes, vehicles, and merchandise that they knew they could not afford. Maybe the government regulators should have noticed, but that points to the failure of government regulation more than to the failure of the President. The economy is sound -- it has not collapsed. It's weakened, but it is still sound.
"A nation of whiners? Tell that to the proud autoworkers at a Michigan plant who, after they found out it was closing, kept showing up every day and working as hard as ever, because they knew there were people who counted on the brakes that they made. Tell that to the military families who shoulder their burdens silently as they watch their loved ones leave for their third or fourth or fifth tour of duty. These are not whiners. They work hard and they give back and they keep going without complaint. These are the Americans I know."
This example renders the point moot (probably the purpose), but what about the rest of the country???
"Now, I don't believe that Sen. McCain doesn't care what's going on in the lives of Americans. I just think he doesn't know. Why else would he define middle-class as someone making under $5 million a year? How else could he propose hundreds of billions in tax breaks for big corporations and oil companies but not one penny of tax relief to more than 100 million Americans? How else could he offer a health care plan that would actually tax people's benefits, or an education plan that would do nothing to help families pay for college, or a plan that would privatize Social Security and gamble your retirement?"
Ok, maybe McCain is out of touch when it comes to economics. So is Obama. BHO exemplified that when he complained about the price of arugula at Whole Foods. Most Americans don't buy arugula nor do they shop at Whole Foods. Elitists like BHO buy arugula and shop at Whole Foods (and whiners complain about it). Obama revealed just how out of touch with "real Americans" and the economy he really is with his arugula comment. John McCain supports corporate tax breaks in order to keep American businesses in America. The US corporate tax structure is one reason why many companies outsource their labor to Third World countries -- it's cheaper. It is very expensive to do business in America. Lower corporate taxes make doing business in America less expensive. John McCain has readily admitted that economics is his weak point. At least he acknowledges his weaknesses instead of hiding them. That's why he has advisors who bring him back to reality and educate him. The President does not have to know everything, but he should know something -- and he should not pretend to know everything. I would rather gamble my retirement than let Congress out-right steal it.
"It's not because John McCain doesn't care. It's because John McCain doesn't get it."
Which he readily admits, hence the purpose of advisors.
"For over two decades, he's subscribed to that old, discredited Republican philosophy -- give more and more to those with the most and hope that prosperity trickles down to everyone else. In Washington, they call this the Ownership Society, but what it really means is that you're on your own. Out of work? Tough luck. You're on your own. No health care? The market will fix it. You're on your own. Born into poverty? Pull yourself up by your own bootstraps -- even if you don't have boots. You are on your own."
You don't prosper by receiving handouts. Didn't your wife's story teach you anything??? Her dad didn't receive handouts. He went to work even when he was sick with MS so he could provide for his family. Our country was not founded by getting handouts. Our country has not prospered because of handouts. Before the Great Depression, people resisted handouts because they felt ashamed. No one wanted a handout -- even when desperately needed -- because that would show the world that that person could not provide for their family. Welfare is a crutch for a lot of people. It is an excuse to not have to get a job. When you are forced to get a job and provide for your family it fosters a sense of pride and provides an incentive to do better. Life is not fair.
"Well it's time for them to own their failure. It's time for us to change America. And that's why I'm running for president of the United States."
And it's time for the Democrats to own up to their failure, as well.
"You see, we Democrats have a very different measure of what constitutes progress in this country."
Yes they do. It's called Socialism.
"We measure progress by how many people can find a job that pays the mortgage; whether you can put a little extra money away at the end of each month so you can someday watch your child receive her college diploma. We measure progress in the 23 million new jobs that were created when Bill Clinton was president -- when the average American family saw its income go up $7,500 instead of go down $2,000 like it has under George Bush."
Whatever. Democrats always increase taxes -- for everyone -- and the economy started to slide under Clinton. Clinton also contributed to 9/11 by letting bin Laden get away when he had the chance to capture him. Nine-eleven accelerated the economy's downturn, hence the reason why GWB is erroneously blamed for all of our current economic woes.
"We measure the strength of our economy not by the number of billionaires we have or the profits of the Fortune 500, but by whether someone with a good idea can take a risk and start a new business, or whether the waitress who lives on tips can take a day off and look after a sick kid without losing her job -- an economy that honors the dignity of work."
Democrats are not necessarily the best friends of small businesses. OK, the waitress does deserve to take sick days when she needs them without risking her job. Democrats honor the dignity of work??? By what?? Increasing handouts to welfare deadbeats???
"The fundamentals we use to measure economic strength are whether we are living up to that fundamental promise that has made this country great -- a promise that is the only reason I am standing here tonight."
And he says John McCain doesn't have a clue when it comes to the economy??? Ask any economist what the economic fundamentals are, and I guarantee he or she is not going to tell him "The fundamentals we use to measure economic strength are whether we are living up to that fundamental promise that has made this country great." And, if he told an economist that statement, he or she would probably laugh in his face.
"Because in the faces of those young veterans who come back from Iraq and Afghanistan, I see my grandfather, who signed up after Pearl Harbor, marched in Patton's Army, and was rewarded by a grateful nation with the chance to go to college on the GI Bill."
Is there verifiable evidence of those statements???
"In the face of that young student who sleeps just three hours before working the night shift, I think about my mom, who raised my sister and me on her own while she worked and earned her degree; who once turned to food stamps but was still able to send us to the best schools in the country with the help of student loans and scholarships."
Does he support handouts because his mother relied on them and it keeps her memory alive??? Or does he support them because people actually need them (some people actually have a legitimate need for them)?? Or does he support them because it makes him look good and compassionate to his party and to voters??
"When I listen to another worker tell me that his factory has shut down, I remember all those men and women on the South Side of Chicago I stood by and fought for two decades ago after the local steel plant closed."
No. He was lining his pockets via the Chicago political machine.
"And when I hear a woman talk about the difficulties of starting her own business or making her way in the world, I think about my grandmother, who worked her way up from the secretarial pool to middle-management, despite years of being passed over for promotions because she was a woman. She's the one who taught me about hard work. She's the one who put off buying a new car or a new dress for herself so that I could have a better life. She poured everything she had into me. And although she can no longer travel, I know that she's watching tonight, and that tonight is her night as well."
And to thank his grandmother for all of her hard work and scarifice, he calls her a racist. Starting a business is no small feat. There are plenty of programs out there help anyone get started. One just has to look.
"Now, I don't know what kind of lives John McCain thinks that celebrities lead, but this has been mine. These are my heroes. Theirs are the stories that shaped my life. And it is on behalf of them that I intend to win this election and keep our promise alive as president of the United States."
And they are just that, stories. His "biography" is nothing but a tall tale. I'm venturing a guess that his "autobiography" is nothing but fiction and fantasy -- just like his campaign.
"What is that American promise?"
Good question. I've been asking myself that for this whole speech.
"It's a promise that says each of us has the freedom to make of our own lives what we will, but that we also have the obligation to treat each other with dignity and respect."
Hey!!! He stole that one out of the Republican playbook!!! Give it back!! We do have the freedom to make our own lives what we will, and Socialist Moonbats like BHO want to take that freedom away from us. They want to enforce "dignity and respect" by suppressing freedoms guaranteed in the Constitution.
"It's a promise that says the market should reward drive and innovation and generate growth, but that businesses should live up to their responsibilities to create American jobs, to look out for American workers, and play by the rules of the road."
The market does reward drive and innovation -- it's called profit -- something that the Socialist Moonbats demonise. Again this whole statement is cribbed from the Republican platform. I guess "Vice Plagiarist" Joe Biden (to quote Ann Coulter) is rubbing off on Oshama. Oshama's pandering to the center-right is blatantly obvious.
"Ours is a promise that says government cannot solve all our problems, but what it should do is that which we cannot do for ourselves -- protect us from harm and provide every child a decent education; keep our water clean and our toys safe; invest in new schools and new roads and science and technology."
I am perfectly capable of providing my child with a quality education without government intervention.
"Our government should work for us, not against us. It should help us, not hurt us. It should ensure opportunity not just for those with the most money and influence, but for every American who's willing to work."
Someone call the Patent Office, quick!!! This is wholesale plagiarism!!! The RIAA should sue.
"That's the promise of America -- the idea that we are responsible for ourselves, but that we also rise or fall as one nation; the fundamental belief that I am my brother's keeper; I am my sister's keeper."
Yes. We are responsible for ourselves. I'm glad you are not my brother and I am not your sister. Ahh. The true nature of BHO's evil plan emerges -- he wants everyone to be in everyone else's business -- he's training us to be his Gestapo, keeping tabs on our neighbours.
"That's the promise we need to keep. That's the change we need right now. So let me spell out exactly what that change would mean if I am president."
Oh Brother...Here we go...
"Change means a tax code that doesn't reward the lobbyists who wrote it, but the American workers and small businesses who deserve it."
Or the rich legislators who wrote it. The tax code is a law and it is written by legislators who are influenced by the lobbyists. Get it right. Please don't redistribute my hard-earned money to welfare deadbeats.
"You know, unlike John McCain, I will stop giving tax breaks to corporations that ship jobs overseas, and I will start giving them to companies that create good jobs right here in America."
The Democrats are going to help business??? Oh wait, it's another attempt at pandering to moderates by copying the Republican playbook.
"I'll eliminate capital gains taxes for the small businesses and the start-ups that will create the high-wage, high-tech jobs of tomorrow."
I thought Dems didn't like cutting or eliminating taxes. Which is it??? Oh, yeah. it's another deception.
"I will, listen now, cut taxes -- cut taxes -- for 95 percent of all working families. Because in an economy like this, the last thing we should do is raise taxes on the middle-class."
Wait a second!!! You just derided the Bush tax cuts. Now you want to cut taxes??? Quit talking out of both sides of your mouth.
And for the sake of our economy, our security and the future of our planet, I will set a clear goal as president: In 10 years, we will finally end our dependence on oil from the Middle East. We will do this.
What by bankrupting us and starving the rest of the world??? Your plan better include a comprehensive plan that includes drilling in ANWR. BTW genius, a President's max term is 8 years, unless you plan on changing/disregarding that too.
Washington's been talking about our oil addiction for the last 30 years, and by the way John McCain's been there for 26 of them. And in that time, he's said no to higher fuel-efficiency standards for cars, no to investments in renewable energy, no to renewable fuels. And today, we import triple the amount of oil that we had as the day that Sen. McCain took office.
So it's entirely John McCain's fault that we have increased our dependence on foreign oil??? I don't think so. Clinton helped increase our dependence by closing our shores to domestic oil production and prohibiting drilling in ANWR. He probably said no to higher standards hoping that auto-makers would do it themselves -- Republicans don't like Big Government. So far, alternative energy sources on a massive scale are fantasy. Renewable energy is not what it's cracked up to be. Ethanol has contributed to rising food costs -- especially corn. Wind and solar are not efficient for large-scale distribution. Again, as a Republican, John McCain supports investment and innovation by the private sector vice the government. I'm sure that if a smart, reasonable, and realistic comprehensive energy policy crossed John McCain's desk, he would sign it into law.
"Now is the time to end this addiction, and to understand that drilling is a stop-gap measure, not a long-term solution. Not even close."
How does he figure??? Oh wait. Nancy Pelosi is his energy advisor.
"As president, I will tap our natural gas reserves, invest in clean coal technology, and find ways to safely harness nuclear power. I'll help our auto companies re-tool, so that the fuel-efficient cars of the future are built right here in America. I'll make it easier for the American people to afford these new cars. And I'll invest $150 billion over the next decade in affordable, renewable sources of energy -- wind power and solar power and the next generation of biofuels; an investment that will lead to new industries and 5 million new jobs that pay well and can't be outsourced."
A Tree-Hugging Liberal supporting nuclear power??? Oh wait. Another dirty trick. We have safely harnessed nuclear power. It's just that Enviromoonbats have successfully lobbied Congress to halt their construction since the '70s. How will he make cars affordable??? Government handouts in the form of subsidies??? I thought so. How are we going to pay for his $150 Billion investment??? Wait, I got it, more taxes. So much for cutting taxes on the middle class. There's no way he can do both -- increase spending and cut taxes -- without further increasing the national debt. If he does increase the national debt, his economic policy will be just like Bush and the current Congress, thus completely obliterating his "change" mantra. How does he figure that he will create 5 million new jobs???
America, now is not the time for small plans.
I can hardly wait.
"To Chairman Dean and my great friend Dick Durbin; and to all my fellow citizens of this great nation.
With profound gratitude and great humility, I accept your nomination for presidency of the United States."
Humility??? My eye. How can he say he's humble when he constructs a mock White House to accept his nomination? The answer is, he can't.

These are the consequences of prosperity. American companies and consumers became greedy. Banks approved loans and credit for people who could not afford to pay them, and people bought homes, vehicles, and merchandise that they knew they could not afford. Maybe the government regulators should have noticed, but that points to the failure of government regulation more than to the failure of the President. The economy is sound -- it has not collapsed. It's weakened, but it is still sound.
"A nation of whiners? Tell that to the proud autoworkers at a Michigan plant who, after they found out it was closing, kept showing up every day and working as hard as ever, because they knew there were people who counted on the brakes that they made. Tell that to the military families who shoulder their burdens silently as they watch their loved ones leave for their third or fourth or fifth tour of duty. These are not whiners. They work hard and they give back and they keep going without complaint. These are the Americans I know."
This example renders the point moot (probably the purpose), but what about the rest of the country???
"Now, I don't believe that Sen. McCain doesn't care what's going on in the lives of Americans. I just think he doesn't know. Why else would he define middle-class as someone making under $5 million a year? How else could he propose hundreds of billions in tax breaks for big corporations and oil companies but not one penny of tax relief to more than 100 million Americans? How else could he offer a health care plan that would actually tax people's benefits, or an education plan that would do nothing to help families pay for college, or a plan that would privatize Social Security and gamble your retirement?"
Ok, maybe McCain is out of touch when it comes to economics. So is Obama. BHO exemplified that when he complained about the price of arugula at Whole Foods. Most Americans don't buy arugula nor do they shop at Whole Foods. Elitists like BHO buy arugula and shop at Whole Foods (and whiners complain about it). Obama revealed just how out of touch with "real Americans" and the economy he really is with his arugula comment. John McCain supports corporate tax breaks in order to keep American businesses in America. The US corporate tax structure is one reason why many companies outsource their labor to Third World countries -- it's cheaper. It is very expensive to do business in America. Lower corporate taxes make doing business in America less expensive. John McCain has readily admitted that economics is his weak point. At least he acknowledges his weaknesses instead of hiding them. That's why he has advisors who bring him back to reality and educate him. The President does not have to know everything, but he should know something -- and he should not pretend to know everything. I would rather gamble my retirement than let Congress out-right steal it.
"It's not because John McCain doesn't care. It's because John McCain doesn't get it."
Which he readily admits, hence the purpose of advisors.
"For over two decades, he's subscribed to that old, discredited Republican philosophy -- give more and more to those with the most and hope that prosperity trickles down to everyone else. In Washington, they call this the Ownership Society, but what it really means is that you're on your own. Out of work? Tough luck. You're on your own. No health care? The market will fix it. You're on your own. Born into poverty? Pull yourself up by your own bootstraps -- even if you don't have boots. You are on your own."
You don't prosper by receiving handouts. Didn't your wife's story teach you anything??? Her dad didn't receive handouts. He went to work even when he was sick with MS so he could provide for his family. Our country was not founded by getting handouts. Our country has not prospered because of handouts. Before the Great Depression, people resisted handouts because they felt ashamed. No one wanted a handout -- even when desperately needed -- because that would show the world that that person could not provide for their family. Welfare is a crutch for a lot of people. It is an excuse to not have to get a job. When you are forced to get a job and provide for your family it fosters a sense of pride and provides an incentive to do better. Life is not fair.
"Well it's time for them to own their failure. It's time for us to change America. And that's why I'm running for president of the United States."
And it's time for the Democrats to own up to their failure, as well.
"You see, we Democrats have a very different measure of what constitutes progress in this country."
Yes they do. It's called Socialism.
"We measure progress by how many people can find a job that pays the mortgage; whether you can put a little extra money away at the end of each month so you can someday watch your child receive her college diploma. We measure progress in the 23 million new jobs that were created when Bill Clinton was president -- when the average American family saw its income go up $7,500 instead of go down $2,000 like it has under George Bush."
Whatever. Democrats always increase taxes -- for everyone -- and the economy started to slide under Clinton. Clinton also contributed to 9/11 by letting bin Laden get away when he had the chance to capture him. Nine-eleven accelerated the economy's downturn, hence the reason why GWB is erroneously blamed for all of our current economic woes.
"We measure the strength of our economy not by the number of billionaires we have or the profits of the Fortune 500, but by whether someone with a good idea can take a risk and start a new business, or whether the waitress who lives on tips can take a day off and look after a sick kid without losing her job -- an economy that honors the dignity of work."
Democrats are not necessarily the best friends of small businesses. OK, the waitress does deserve to take sick days when she needs them without risking her job. Democrats honor the dignity of work??? By what?? Increasing handouts to welfare deadbeats???
"The fundamentals we use to measure economic strength are whether we are living up to that fundamental promise that has made this country great -- a promise that is the only reason I am standing here tonight."
And he says John McCain doesn't have a clue when it comes to the economy??? Ask any economist what the economic fundamentals are, and I guarantee he or she is not going to tell him "The fundamentals we use to measure economic strength are whether we are living up to that fundamental promise that has made this country great." And, if he told an economist that statement, he or she would probably laugh in his face.
"Because in the faces of those young veterans who come back from Iraq and Afghanistan, I see my grandfather, who signed up after Pearl Harbor, marched in Patton's Army, and was rewarded by a grateful nation with the chance to go to college on the GI Bill."
Is there verifiable evidence of those statements???
"In the face of that young student who sleeps just three hours before working the night shift, I think about my mom, who raised my sister and me on her own while she worked and earned her degree; who once turned to food stamps but was still able to send us to the best schools in the country with the help of student loans and scholarships."
Does he support handouts because his mother relied on them and it keeps her memory alive??? Or does he support them because people actually need them (some people actually have a legitimate need for them)?? Or does he support them because it makes him look good and compassionate to his party and to voters??
"When I listen to another worker tell me that his factory has shut down, I remember all those men and women on the South Side of Chicago I stood by and fought for two decades ago after the local steel plant closed."
No. He was lining his pockets via the Chicago political machine.
"And when I hear a woman talk about the difficulties of starting her own business or making her way in the world, I think about my grandmother, who worked her way up from the secretarial pool to middle-management, despite years of being passed over for promotions because she was a woman. She's the one who taught me about hard work. She's the one who put off buying a new car or a new dress for herself so that I could have a better life. She poured everything she had into me. And although she can no longer travel, I know that she's watching tonight, and that tonight is her night as well."
And to thank his grandmother for all of her hard work and scarifice, he calls her a racist. Starting a business is no small feat. There are plenty of programs out there help anyone get started. One just has to look.
"Now, I don't know what kind of lives John McCain thinks that celebrities lead, but this has been mine. These are my heroes. Theirs are the stories that shaped my life. And it is on behalf of them that I intend to win this election and keep our promise alive as president of the United States."
And they are just that, stories. His "biography" is nothing but a tall tale. I'm venturing a guess that his "autobiography" is nothing but fiction and fantasy -- just like his campaign.
"What is that American promise?"
Good question. I've been asking myself that for this whole speech.
"It's a promise that says each of us has the freedom to make of our own lives what we will, but that we also have the obligation to treat each other with dignity and respect."
Hey!!! He stole that one out of the Republican playbook!!! Give it back!! We do have the freedom to make our own lives what we will, and Socialist Moonbats like BHO want to take that freedom away from us. They want to enforce "dignity and respect" by suppressing freedoms guaranteed in the Constitution.
"It's a promise that says the market should reward drive and innovation and generate growth, but that businesses should live up to their responsibilities to create American jobs, to look out for American workers, and play by the rules of the road."
The market does reward drive and innovation -- it's called profit -- something that the Socialist Moonbats demonise. Again this whole statement is cribbed from the Republican platform. I guess "Vice Plagiarist" Joe Biden (to quote Ann Coulter) is rubbing off on Oshama. Oshama's pandering to the center-right is blatantly obvious.
"Ours is a promise that says government cannot solve all our problems, but what it should do is that which we cannot do for ourselves -- protect us from harm and provide every child a decent education; keep our water clean and our toys safe; invest in new schools and new roads and science and technology."
I am perfectly capable of providing my child with a quality education without government intervention.
"Our government should work for us, not against us. It should help us, not hurt us. It should ensure opportunity not just for those with the most money and influence, but for every American who's willing to work."
Someone call the Patent Office, quick!!! This is wholesale plagiarism!!! The RIAA should sue.
"That's the promise of America -- the idea that we are responsible for ourselves, but that we also rise or fall as one nation; the fundamental belief that I am my brother's keeper; I am my sister's keeper."
Yes. We are responsible for ourselves. I'm glad you are not my brother and I am not your sister. Ahh. The true nature of BHO's evil plan emerges -- he wants everyone to be in everyone else's business -- he's training us to be his Gestapo, keeping tabs on our neighbours.
"That's the promise we need to keep. That's the change we need right now. So let me spell out exactly what that change would mean if I am president."
Oh Brother...Here we go...
"Change means a tax code that doesn't reward the lobbyists who wrote it, but the American workers and small businesses who deserve it."
Or the rich legislators who wrote it. The tax code is a law and it is written by legislators who are influenced by the lobbyists. Get it right. Please don't redistribute my hard-earned money to welfare deadbeats.
"You know, unlike John McCain, I will stop giving tax breaks to corporations that ship jobs overseas, and I will start giving them to companies that create good jobs right here in America."
The Democrats are going to help business??? Oh wait, it's another attempt at pandering to moderates by copying the Republican playbook.
"I'll eliminate capital gains taxes for the small businesses and the start-ups that will create the high-wage, high-tech jobs of tomorrow."
I thought Dems didn't like cutting or eliminating taxes. Which is it??? Oh, yeah. it's another deception.
"I will, listen now, cut taxes -- cut taxes -- for 95 percent of all working families. Because in an economy like this, the last thing we should do is raise taxes on the middle-class."
Wait a second!!! You just derided the Bush tax cuts. Now you want to cut taxes??? Quit talking out of both sides of your mouth.
And for the sake of our economy, our security and the future of our planet, I will set a clear goal as president: In 10 years, we will finally end our dependence on oil from the Middle East. We will do this.
What by bankrupting us and starving the rest of the world??? Your plan better include a comprehensive plan that includes drilling in ANWR. BTW genius, a President's max term is 8 years, unless you plan on changing/disregarding that too.
Washington's been talking about our oil addiction for the last 30 years, and by the way John McCain's been there for 26 of them. And in that time, he's said no to higher fuel-efficiency standards for cars, no to investments in renewable energy, no to renewable fuels. And today, we import triple the amount of oil that we had as the day that Sen. McCain took office.
So it's entirely John McCain's fault that we have increased our dependence on foreign oil??? I don't think so. Clinton helped increase our dependence by closing our shores to domestic oil production and prohibiting drilling in ANWR. He probably said no to higher standards hoping that auto-makers would do it themselves -- Republicans don't like Big Government. So far, alternative energy sources on a massive scale are fantasy. Renewable energy is not what it's cracked up to be. Ethanol has contributed to rising food costs -- especially corn. Wind and solar are not efficient for large-scale distribution. Again, as a Republican, John McCain supports investment and innovation by the private sector vice the government. I'm sure that if a smart, reasonable, and realistic comprehensive energy policy crossed John McCain's desk, he would sign it into law.
"Now is the time to end this addiction, and to understand that drilling is a stop-gap measure, not a long-term solution. Not even close."
How does he figure??? Oh wait. Nancy Pelosi is his energy advisor.
"As president, I will tap our natural gas reserves, invest in clean coal technology, and find ways to safely harness nuclear power. I'll help our auto companies re-tool, so that the fuel-efficient cars of the future are built right here in America. I'll make it easier for the American people to afford these new cars. And I'll invest $150 billion over the next decade in affordable, renewable sources of energy -- wind power and solar power and the next generation of biofuels; an investment that will lead to new industries and 5 million new jobs that pay well and can't be outsourced."
A Tree-Hugging Liberal supporting nuclear power??? Oh wait. Another dirty trick. We have safely harnessed nuclear power. It's just that Enviromoonbats have successfully lobbied Congress to halt their construction since the '70s. How will he make cars affordable??? Government handouts in the form of subsidies??? I thought so. How are we going to pay for his $150 Billion investment??? Wait, I got it, more taxes. So much for cutting taxes on the middle class. There's no way he can do both -- increase spending and cut taxes -- without further increasing the national debt. If he does increase the national debt, his economic policy will be just like Bush and the current Congress, thus completely obliterating his "change" mantra. How does he figure that he will create 5 million new jobs???
America, now is not the time for small plans.
I can hardly wait.

The Dissection of Michelle Obama
I tried in vain to watch Michelle Obama's speech, but since I live in EU-Land, I would have had to wait until my husband got up to go to work in order to see it live. So, I have had to do the next best thing, dissect the transcript. Thanks to cable news and the Internet, I will still have plenty of fodder and news clips for my diatribe. If you listen to the MSM (who does that anymore???), you will hear how "authentic" and "genuine" Mrs. Obama's speech was. I beg to differ. Here is my analysis of "One Nation" (notice the lack of "Under God"):
"And Barack and I were raised with so many of the same values: that you work hard for what you want in life; that your word is your bond and you do what you say you're going to do; that you treat people with dignity and respect, even if you don't know them, and even if you don't agree with them."
Work hard??? According to the Democrat platform and BHO's "community organizing", the only people who work hard are those whose tax dollars pay for welfare so that the lazy can stay lazy and the hard-working work harder and pay more taxes. Your word is your bond??? I think the only ones who believe in integrity are the ones who are calling the Obamas to the carpet for all of their lies and obfuscations. Dignity and respect??? Tell that to the all of the unborn babies who were slaughtered in the name of "choice". Tell that to the nurse who watched helplessly as that newborn baby died in her arms. BHO did not know that baby nor did he agree that that baby had a right to live, but defended its murder on the floor of the Illinois State Senate.
"And as our friendship grew, and I learned more about Barack, he introduced me to the work he'd done when he first moved to Chicago after college. You see instead of going to Wall Street, Barack had gone to work in neighborhoods devastated when steel plants shut down, and jobs dried up. And he'd been invited back to speak to people from those neighborhoods about how to rebuild their community."
He helped "rebuild" their community by becoming a part of the corrupt Chicago political machine and helping slumlords build shoddy public housing instead of standing up and saying that what they were doing was wrong.
"And Barack stood up that day, and spoke words that have stayed with me ever since. He talked about "The world as it is" and "The world as it should be." And he said that all too often, we accept the distance between the two, and we settle for the world as it is -- even when it doesn't reflect our values and aspirations. But he reminded us that we also know what our world should look like. He said we know what fairness and justice and opportunity look like. And he urged us to believe in ourselves -- to find the strength within ourselves to strive for the world as it should be. And isn't that the great American story?"
And BHO reflects that "middle" by choosing Joe Biden as his running mate.
"It is because of their will and determination that this week, we celebrate two anniversaries: the 88th anniversary of women winning the right to vote, and the 45th anniversary of that hot summer day when Dr. King lifted our sights and our hearts with his dream for our nation."
Two anniversaries??? Try three -- BHO's acceptance speech falls on the anniversary of JFK's accepting the Democratic nomination for president in 1962. Coincidence??? I think not.
"The military families who say grace each night with an empty seat at the table. The servicemen and women who love this country so much, they leave those they love most to defend it."
Quit trying to pander to us military families. Until you are sitting at that table with an empty seat (sorry, absences from campaigning don't count) you have no idea what it is like, so quit pretending.
"People like Hillary Clinton, who put those 18 million cracks in the glass ceiling, so that our daughters -- and our sons -- can dream a little bigger and aim a little higher."
Nice shout-out to Hillary. Michelle is pandering to Hillary's base and I don't think that will win BHO too many points, but we shall see. Our sons have a glass ceiling too??? I thought Feminists and Democrats see only women as having a glass ceiling. Inserting political correctness totally destroyed her point -- as usual. One could also argue that Feminism has created barriers for boys, but I seriously doubt that that was what MO was trying to say, after all, she is a Liberal.
"People like Joe Biden, who's never forgotten where he came from, and never stopped fighting for folks who work long hours and face long odds and need someone on their side again."
People like Joe Biden strive to maintain the status quo. He blows the "Change" mantra right out of the water.
"All of us driven by a simple belief that the world as it is just won't do -- that we have an obligation to fight for the world as it should be.
And that is the thread that connects our hearts. That is the thread that runs through my journey and Barack's journey and so many other improbable journeys that have brought us here tonight, where the current of history meets this new tide of hope.
That is why I love this country."
The world should not be the way BHO wants it to be -- Socialism, crippling taxes, unlimited abortion, buying into Global Warming hysteria, redistribution of wealth, maintaining our dependence on foreign oil, pandering to terrorists, the list goes on. What is this "improbable journey"??? That is the third time she mentioned an "improbable journey". She is almost as bad as her husband. So that explains why for the first time in her adult life MO loves this country. Why didn't she say that the first time???
"And in my own life, in my own small way, I've tried to give back to this country that has given me so much. That's why I left a job at a law firm for a career in public service, working to empower young people to volunteer in their communities. Because I believe that each of us -- no matter what our age or background or walk of life -- each of us has something to contribute to the life of this nation.
It's a belief Barack shares -- a belief at the heart of his life's work."
Is it really that much of a sacrifice to trade one 6-figure paying job for another???
"It's what he did in the Illinois Senate, moving people from welfare to jobs, passing tax cuts for hard-working families, and making sure women get equal pay for equal work."
And defending the murder of newborn babies who survived an abortion attempt.
"It's what he's done in the United States Senate, fighting to ensure that the men and women who serve this country are welcomed home not just with medals and parades, but with good jobs and benefits and health care -- including mental health care."
By voting present more times than he actually took a stand on the issues and spending most of his Senate term running for President.
"See that's why he's running -- to end the war in Iraq responsibly, to build an economy that lifts every family, to make sure health care is available for every American, and to make sure every child in this nation has a world class education all the way from preschool to college. That's what Barack Obama will do as president of the United States of America."
To make socialism the new form of government in the United States -- The Divided Socialist States of America.
"He'll achieve these goals the same way he always has -- by bringing us together and reminding us how much we share and how alike we really are. You see, Barack doesn't care where you're from, or what your background is, or what party -- if any -- you belong to. That's not how he sees the world. He knows that thread that connects us -- our belief in America's promise, our commitment to our children's future. He knows that that thread is strong enough to hold us together as one nation even when we disagree."
He only cares about what fellow Latte Liberals care about -- the price of arugula and how to undermine the Sovereignty of America and help usher in the New World Order.
"It was strong enough to bring hope to the mother he met worried about her child in Iraq; hope to the man who's unemployed, but can't afford gas to find a job; hope to the student working nights to pay for her sister's health care, sleeping just a few hours a day."
Hope for a handout, maybe. That seems to be the only hope BHO can give.
"Millions of Americans who know that Barack understands their dreams; Millions of Americans who know that Barack will fight for people like them; and that Barack will finally bring the change we need."
Are there really that many Moonbats out there who believe that??? I hope to God not.
"And in the end, And in the end after all that's happened these past 19 months, the Barack Obama I know today is the same man I fell in love with 19 years ago. He's the same man who drove me and our new baby daughter home from the hospital ten years ago this summer, inching along at a snail's pace, peering anxiously at us in the rear view mirror, feeling the whole weight of her future in his hands, determined to give her everything he'd struggled so hard for himself, determined to give her something he never had: the affirming embrace of a father's love."
And he should think about that every time he ponders about abortion -- about how many babies have been denied the right to life and denied the right to be loved by parents who carry the weight of that child's future on their backs. Who was there for that baby who died in the abortionist's clinic??? BHO certainly wasn't. The only one who cared was the nurse in whose arms that precious baby died. If BHO was poor when his daughter was conceived, would he had told Michelle to abort her?? Did he tell her during her first ultrasound that the baby inside her was not alive yet?? Did he dismiss his daughter's first heartbeat?? Guess what??? If it ain't a baby, you ain't pregnant.
"So tonight, in honor of my father's memory and my daughters' future -- out of gratitude for those whose triumphs we mark this week, and those whose everyday sacrifices have brought us to this moment -- let us devote ourselves to finishing their work; let us work together to fulfill their hopes; and let us stand together to elect Barack Obama president of the United States of America."
In the immortal words of my father, "Let us not and say we didn't."
"Thank you, God bless you, and God bless America."
I hope she meant that.
"And Barack and I were raised with so many of the same values: that you work hard for what you want in life; that your word is your bond and you do what you say you're going to do; that you treat people with dignity and respect, even if you don't know them, and even if you don't agree with them."
Work hard??? According to the Democrat platform and BHO's "community organizing", the only people who work hard are those whose tax dollars pay for welfare so that the lazy can stay lazy and the hard-working work harder and pay more taxes. Your word is your bond??? I think the only ones who believe in integrity are the ones who are calling the Obamas to the carpet for all of their lies and obfuscations. Dignity and respect???

He's the same man who drove me and our new baby daughter home from the hospital ten years ago this summer, inching along at a snail's pace, peering anxiously at us in the rear view mirror, feeling the whole weight of her future in his hands, determined to give her everything he'd struggled so hard for himself, determined to give her something he never had: the affirming embrace of a father's love."
And he should think about that every time he ponders about abortion -- about how many babies have been denied the right to life and denied the right to be loved by parents who carry the weight of that child's future on their backs. Who was there for that baby who died in the abortionist's clinic??? BHO certainly wasn't. The only one who cared was the nurse in whose arms that precious baby died. If BHO was poor when his daughter was conceived, would he had told Michelle to abort her?? Did he tell her during her first ultrasound that the baby inside her was not alive yet?? Did he dismiss his daughter's first heartbeat?? Guess what??? If it ain't a baby, you ain't pregnant.
"So tonight, in honor of my father's memory and my daughters' future -- out of gratitude for those whose triumphs we mark this week, and those whose everyday sacrifices have brought us to this moment -- let us devote ourselves to finishing their work; let us work together to fulfill their hopes; and let us stand together to elect Barack Obama president of the United States of America."
In the immortal words of my father, "Let us not and say we didn't."
"Thank you, God bless you, and God bless America."
I hope she meant that.

Tom Brokaw Grows A Pair
I just finished watching "Meet The Press" with Tom Brokaw and I am actually impressed. His guests tonight were Caroline Kennedy, Nancy Pelosi, and a political roundtable discussion with Gwen Ifill, Jon Meacham, and Chuck Todd. I could not believe my ears when he was talking to Caroline Kennedy about BHO choosing Sen. Biden for his VP, Mr. Brokaw did not fawn all over Barack Obama, but actually acknowledged people's misgivings about BHO without kissing Oshama's butt or bashing John McCain. Also, he called Nazi Pelosi to the carpet for her investment in and endorsement of natural gas, and her flip-flopping stance on the surge in Iraq. It was beautiful. The one disappointment was when Ms. Pelosi said she was an "ardent Catholic" in one breath and then defended "a woman's right to choose" in the next, and Brokaw did not really call her out on it. Mr. Brokaw could have lit into her, but I will take whatever I can get. The most telling event of the interview came when Brokaw and Pelosi were talking about Sen. Biden and how he and Hillary can "sell" Obama's childhood at the convention and on the campaign trail. Obama was abandoned by his father and was raised mostly by his grandmother, but he says in his autobiograhy that he "raised himself". Boo hoo. Poor Baby, here's a tissue. Would you like some cheese with your whine??? Typical Liberals appealing to feeling and emotions and avoiding policy positions. It seems as if the message is we should vote for BHO because we feel sorry for him. Well, I'm not buying it.

Obama's VP Choice
I’m glad that Oshama picked Sen. Joe Biden (D-DE) because that will make it easier for John McCain to win. I enjoy all of the stupid political decisions Oshama makes because each one is another nail in his coffin. Strategically, I think he should have picked Hillary because together, they could have slaughtered McCain in the general election. But, since Oshama has a tremendous lack of judgement political or otherwise, he completely contradicted himself and showed the world that his “Hope and Change” mantra was nothing but empty rhetoric. Each day I despise Oshama more and more and each day his gaffes and errors make me laugh a little harder and breathe a little easier. I criticise his VP to show how stupid and uninformed he is, not because I am upset. Quite the contrary, I’m delighted. Barack Hussein Obama is one of the last people I would elect dogcatcher, let alone President of the United States of America.
