Obama: 'Lipstick on a pig' comment. Not Smart.

[Pressing-On]

This is for FERD!

I don't know where else to put this. Hilarious remark by Ann Coulter Since we are talking about the left, I'll put it here. lol I got this in my e-mail and am sure it's on her website or in townhall.

On Keith Olbermann's Aug. 29 show on MSNBC, Michael Moore said the possibility of a Category 3 hurricane hitting the United States "is proof that there is a God in heaven." Olbermann responded: "A supremely good point."

Actually, Olbermann said that a few minutes later to some other idiotic point Moore had made, but that's how Moore would have edited the interview for one of his "documentaries," so I will, too. I would only add that Michael Moore's morbid obesity is proof that there is a Buddha.

I totally agree; could not have said it better. Our local republican office said after Palins speech they were flooded with calls from volunteers. This was a bit unexpected.
I've never missed voting in a presidential election ( 1st- 1972 )
and this looks to be the most interesting.

I want to also add some other things that bother me about Obama. His past and present associations bother me a great deal.

I read this in Jerome Corsi's book, The Obama Nation. I've put the info in my own words so as not to infringe on the copyright.


On February 25, 2008 the Drudge Report published a photo of Obama in African dress in a headscarf, a robe and with a walking stick in his right hand.

Matt Drudge reported that Obama's campaign manager, David Plouffe, had accused the Clinton campaign of using "shameful offensive fear mongering" by circulating the photo.

The photo turned out to be authentic and was taken in Kenya during Obama's five-nation taxpayer funded trip to Africa in August 2006. The Obama campaign denied the photo proved that Obama had any connection between their candidate and Islam.

What happened was the photo controversy spurred a greater investigation into Obama's current ties in Kenya. This was the home of his father. The photos were, indeed, hardly evidence that Obama was secretly Islamic, BUT his trip in 2006 to Kenya evidenced that he had some continued ties with a , Raila Odinga, who is a fellow Luo tribesman.

Odinga was running for president of Kenya as a Muslim sympathizer with very well-known communist political roots.

In Obama's autobiography he describes this trip as a "roots" trip. His father and grand-father were also from the Luo tribe, as was Odinga.

The trip in 2006 was his third trip to Kenya. By supporting this fellow tribesman, Raila Odinga, who was in a battle to share the presidency of Kenya, Obama was plunging himself back into the Kenyan battles of domestic politics that had destroyed his father. It also set a course for him to become influential in Kenyan politics of today.

Therefore, it's important to examine Obama's support of Odinga, a radical leftist politician educated in communist East Germany who has emerged from the tribal battles that have dominated Kenya's politics for centuries.

We have to ask whether Obama, by supporting Odinga very openly in Kenya, was lending his name to also endorse Odinga's leftist politics and alliance with radical Muslims pushing Islam in Kenya.

I agree with Bill O'Reilly when he said that the people he runs with, or however he put it, were very far left and problematic. He asked him if he had any Conservative friends and Obama could not come up with any names.

Just so much that is not right about this guy. I don't think we should be so naive about his past associations and ties.

Words Obama Will Regret
by Ken Blackwell

On Monday, Senator Obama uttered one sentence that could haunt him until Election Day. He said of Senator McCain and Governor Palin telling voters they would bring change, “they must think you’re stupid.” Given his stances on the surge, social issues, and his past, Mr. Obama will regret those words.

Let’s start with social issues like Second Amendment freedoms. Mr. Obama denies that he’s ever supported banning handguns, right after the landmark Heller case where the Supreme Court struck down Washington D.C.’s handgun ban.

When a 1996 questionnaire surfaced that had asked if Mr. Obama supported banning all handguns, his one-word written answer was “yes.” He said an unnamed staffer must have filled it out without his knowledge. Then another copy surfaced — this one with his handwriting on it. He says he must not have read that particular question. Sure.

The saga....This whole article is very informative!

If you want to fight something, check this out. It came in a forwarded e-mail. I checked the link and the cartoon is offensive to me.

The Washington Post ran this cartoon by artist Pat Oliphant dated, 9-09-08. It apparently ran in todays paper, 9-10-08.

I encourage you, if you find this to be as appalling as I do, to let the Post know how you feel about it. Regardless of your political or religious leanings, the gall of putting a curse word in the mouth of God is borderline blasphemous, in my opinion.

Good article! My take on it also!

(excerpt)

Obama's woes have nothing to do with Lipstick

For two years, Obama played the golf course of presidential politics with the ice-cold self-assuredness of a Tiger Woods. But since securing the Democratic nomination, he’s made a series of strategic errors that could jeopardize his chances in November.

(note: points are elaborated on in article)

• Declining to take federal financing for the general election
• Declining McCain’s offer to hold ten town hall debates
• Failing to go all the way with the Clintons
• The 22-state strategy
• Failing to state a sweeping, but concrete, policy idea
• Remaining trapped in professor-observer speak
• Failing to attack McCain early

Does all of this mean that Obama is somehow doomed? Of course not. He is a quick study and a fast learner, and the team of McCain and Palin is capable of making their own set of mistakes.

But if I were an Obama partisan I would be worried that his mistakes have a common thread - pride.

Obama seems to want to do things on his own, and on his own terms. It’s understandable. Obama has his own crowd – from Chicago, from Harvard, and from a new cadre of wealthy, Ivy-educated movers and shakers.

“He’s an arrogant (bleep),” one of the latter told me today. “He wants to do it his way, and his way alone.” But politics doesn’t work that way. And has Obama should know, or is about to find out, that everyone needs a little help.

George, we've got a whole thread regarding this in the FH - Is this blaspheming? Several have already sent emails complaining.

There was a letter from our UPC missionary that covered some of these issues and was warning he was involved in Africa.
