Michelle Obama becomes proud for the first time
Michelle Obama . . . a woman that would LIKE to be our next first lady, has shamed us all with her comments, and is more deserving to be the LAST LADY instead of the FIRST LADY.
Again, I get much of my information from Wikipedia. (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michelle_Obama)
On February 18, 2008, Michelle Obama commented in Milwaukee, Wisconsin that "For the first time in my adult life, I am proud of my country because it feels like hope is finally making a comeback." Lets stop there for a second. Although I disagreed with America's choices in elections in the past, I have NEVER stopped being proud of my country. And Michelle Obama shows, ONCE AGAIN, the kinds of people barack surrounds himself with, and identifies with.
Later that night she reworded her response: "For the first time in my adult lifetime, I'm really proud of my country, and not just because Barack has done well, but because I think people are hungry for change." So let me get this straight. For the past 50 years she has not been proud, but NOW she is proud because 1)her husband is doing well, and 2)people are hungry for change. She has not had reason to NOT be proud of this great country for ONE SECOND of her life. But NOW she is proud because her husband is doing well and "people want change." I guess if her husband WASN'T doing well she would be less proud? This shows how the Obama's believe the universe revolves around THEM.
Perhaps Obama has the POTENTIAL to be a good president . . . SOMEDAY. Not now. Let HIS wife travel the world and help children everywhere she goes. Let Barack spend a few decades as a senator instead of trying to jump straight from FRESHMAN SENATOR to PRESIDENT. And let Barack spend some time proving to the world he has the JUDGMENT to affiliate with people better than Rev. Wright, William Ayers, Tony Resco, and give Michelle Obama some time to learn how to be proud of this great nation no matter WHO is president, no matter how well her husband is doing, and no matter how much or little people "want change." We shouldn't just be proud of our country when people seem to want the things WE WANT. That is selfish, and we need a President who is SELFLESS. That man is John McCain.
SUMMARY: For twenty-six years Michelle Obama, using her OWN WORDS, has not been proud of her country ONCE . . . but now that 1)her husband is "doing well" and 2)people seem to want what SHE wants, "change," she is suddenly proud for the first time. That is digusting, intolerable, and just plain WRONG. And it says SO MUCH about the people Barack chooses to affiliate with, surround himself with, and endear himself to.
Goodnight. And God Bless America!
The Reverend Jeremiah Wright
Statement by Rev. Wright in 2001, just after the September 11 attacks:
"I heard Ambassador Peck on an interview yesterday. Did anybody else see him or hear him? He was on Fox News. This is a white man, and he was upsetting the Fox News commentators to no end. He pointed out — did you see him, John? — a white man, he pointed out, ambassador, that what Malcolm X said when he got silenced by Elijah Muhammad was in fact true — America's chickens are coming home to roost."
That was SEVEN YEARS AGO! And until just a few months ago, Obama continued to be a member of Wright's church. His comment (quoting Malcolm X) that "America's chickens are coming home to roost" was widely interpreted as meaning that America had brought the September 11, 2001 attacks upon itself.
"Wright spoke of the United States taking land from the Indian tribes by what he labeled as terror, bombing Grenada, Panama, Libya, Hiroshima, and Nagasaki, and argued that the United States supported state terrorism against the Palestinians and South Africa."
"We bombed Hiroshima, we bombed Nagasaki, and we nuked far more than the thousands in New York and The Pentagon, and we never batted an eye... and now we are indignant, because the stuff we have done overseas is now brought back into our own front yards. America's chickens are coming home to roost."
“[The United States] government lied about their belief that all men were created equal. The truth is they believed that all white men were created equal. The truth is they did not even believe that white women were created equal, in creation nor civilization. The government had to pass an amendment to the Constitution to get white women the vote. Then the government had to pass an equal rights amendment to get equal protection under the law for women. The government still thinks a woman has no rights over her own body, and between Uncle Clarence [Thomas], who sexually harassed Anita Hill, and a closeted Klan court, that is a throwback to the 19th century, handpicked by Daddy Bush, Ronald Reagan, Gerald Ford, between Clarence and that stacked court, they are about to undo Roe vs. Wade, just like they are about to un-do affirmative action. The government lied in its founding documents and the government is still lying today. Governments lie.”
“The government lied about Pearl Harbor too. They knew the Japanese were going to attack. Governments lie. The government lied about the Gulf of Tonkin. They wanted that resolution to get us in the Vietnam War. Governments lie. The government lied about Nelson Mandela and our CIA helped put him in prison and keep him there for 27 years. The South African government lied on Nelson Mandela. Governments lie."
"The government lied about the Tuskegee experiment. They purposely infected African American men with syphilis. Governments lie. The government lied about bombing Cambodia and Richard Nixon stood in front of the camera, ‘Let me make myself perfectly clear…’ Governments lie. The government lied about the drugs for arms Contra scheme orchestrated by Oliver North, and then the government pardoned all the perpetrators so they could get better jobs in the government. Governments lie.... The government lied about inventing the HIV virus as a means of genocide against people of color. Governments lie. The government lied about a connection between Al Qaeda and Saddam Hussein and a connection between 9.11.01 and Operation Iraqi Freedom. Governments lie.”
“The government lied about weapons of mass destruction in Iraq being a threat to the United States peace. And guess what else? If they don’t find them some weapons of mass destruction, they gonna do just like the LAPD, and plant the some weapons of mass destruction. Governments lie.”
"And the United States of America government, when it came to treating her citizens of Indian descent fairly, she failed. She put them on reservations. When it came to treating her citizens of Japanese descent fairly, she failed. She put them in internment prison camps. When it came to treating her citizens of African descent fairly, America failed. She put them in chains, the government put them on slave quarters, put them on auction blocks, put them in cotton field, put them in inferior schools, put them in substandard housing, put them in scientific experiments, put them in the lowest paying jobs, put them outside the equal protection of the law, kept them out of their racist bastions of higher education and locked them into positions of hopelessness and helplessness.... The government gives them the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a three-strike law and then wants us to sing 'God Bless America.' No, no, no, not God Bless America. God damn America — that's in the Bible — for killing innocent people. God damn America, as long as she pretends to act like she is God, and she is supreme. The United States government has failed the vast majority of her citizens of African descent."
THIS is the PASTOR of the church Obama has belonged to for TWENTY YEARS? THIS is the man who married Michelle and Barack Obama? THIS is the man who baptized their two children? THIS is the man they sat and listened to for TWENTY YEARS and didn't WALK OUT in disgust? Yes. But WHY? Obama was flying up the political ladder, and sitting in this radical church, listening to this RADICAL man who preched to 10,000+ each Sunday was a means to an end. Oprah Winfrey belonged to this church for a short time. But not long after joining, Oprah left. Barack stayed.
THIS is the man who is supposed to have the JUDGMENT to be commander in chief? I don't think so.
GET THIS: The title of Obama's memoir, The Audacity of Hope, was inspired by one of Wright's sermons. Inspired by a man he has known for twenty years, married he and his wife, baptized his children . . . but he "didn't know" the things Wright was saying? Please.
Wright was scheduled to give the public invocation before Obama's presidential announcement, but Obama withdrew the invitation the night before the event. Gee, I wonder why? But he nonetheless continued going to that church and supporting that pastor for another year and a half!
In 2007 Wright was appointed to Barack Obama's African American Religious Leadership Committee, a group of over 170 national black religious leaders who supported Obama's bid for the Democratic nomination; however, it was announced in March 2008 that Wright was no longer serving as a member of this group. This was Obama's ATTEMPT to sweep Wright under the rug. If Obama were to win this election, you can be sure that the Reverend Wright will be right there on that stage with him on November 4. The distancing of Rev. Wright was only temporary. If Obama wins, I wouldn't be surprised if Wright got a cabinet position.
Go to Youtube and check out some of the Reverend's now famous quotes for yourself. But the bottom line is THERE IS TOO MUCH ON THE LINE to even THINK about letting a man who surrounds himself with terrorists(see William Ayers) and radicals(Rev. Wright) get anywhere near the White House.
Tomorrow we get a look at Michelle Obama. You will soon see that Obama has SURROUNDED himself, BLANKETED himself in associations with people who do not share the values that most ALL OF US SHARE. And THEREFORE, we should all give Obama a great big "thanks, but no thanks."
God Bless America!
For Sale: Land of the Free
If you woke up, looked out in the front yard, and saw that someone had placed a for sale sign in your front yard, you would go out and take it down, RIGHT?(assuming it wasn't a realtor you hired because YOU are selling your house). You wouldn't LET someone sell YOUR house, would you? It's YOURS to sell. Well this great country is yours too. And not just a little piece of it. ALL OF IT. It's yours, it's mine. It's ours. And it's not for sale. Not today, not ever. Each of has a vote in this matter, and we can either SELL the country, and vote for Obama, or we can take the sign down and vote for McCain.
Isn't Barack Obama trying to BUY your vote? Obama says he is all about "change," but isn't he doing the SAME thing that Democrats ALWAYS do to get elected, buy your vote? Who would vote for him if he wasn't promising them FREE health care and all the other goodies in his bag?
And while I am on the subject, seems to me that when Bill Clinton was asking for your vote, he did the "health care for everyone" thing . . . but in his eight years did he deliver on that promise? No. And who would PAY for it anyway? The working class. That means, no matter WHAT they say, taxes have to go UP, UP, UP for the people who WORK to pay for all these goodies politicians promise.
So the trick is to paint the last eight years as being as bad as possible so people will want "change", point to home foreclosures, highlight a few poor people without health insurance, convince people they are miserable and promise that you are going to "make everything better."
Here's a NEWSFLASH: The Senate and House of Representatives pass laws, the PRESIDENT DOESN'T, and both houses are controlled by Democrats. So if things REALLY ARE THAT BAD, it's the Democrats who should be taking the blame. But Obama thinks we are all stupid enough to just blame the President for every little thing in the world that isn't perfect. Which reminds me . . . things may not be perfect here. They never will be. This is the USA, not Oz. Go ahead and name a few countries that you believe have it better than us. Mexico? their citizens sneak into the US every day. THIS IS WHERE THEY WANT TO BE! How about China? a booming economy, but ZERO human rights. No freedom of religion, and they have a ONE-CHILD law that is strictly enforced. No child is allowed to have a brother or sister without the family paying a HUGE FINE(usually several years of wages) to have that additional child. Would you rather SELL your freedom to live with 30 of your relatives, sleep on the floor, and be told by your country how many children you can have... but have a "booming economy?"
I remind you that this IS the greatest country in the world, and that is why WHAT WE SAY GOES. There isn't ONE NATION that could even THINK about standing toe to toe with us. Which brings me to my FINAL POINT of this entry . . . . The President, no matter WHAT they say in their speeches, is basically limited to these major powers:
1)Commander in Chief
2)Veto Power
3)Supreme Court appointments
Barack Obama can no more deliver on his promises that I CAN. It isn't in the power of the President to implement one single law. He doesn't MAKE law, he ENFORCES it. So who would be the better Commander in Chief? A no brainer, right? Even the left-wing media acknowledges that Americans prefer McCain to Obama in this critical area. How about Veto Power? Who is more likely to VETO bills chocked with earmarks and wasteful spending? Again, a no-brainer. Obama's answer to EVERYTHING is: "find a problem, create a bureaucracy, spend some money." McCain is the Maverick. And who do you want making lifetime appointments to the Supreme Court? A Freshman senator who has written TWO books about himself? Or a man who has spent his LIFE fighting for this country, both in uniform AND in Washington?
As Americans, we have to keep doing what we have always done. The American Dream is not a handout, it is something you earn. You don't wake up one morning and find the American Dream under your Christmas Tree. If that were even possible, Santa Claus would be in the White House, not George W. Bush. You know, the guy who did such a bad job the first four years that we gave him ANOTHER FOUR!?!?!? Yeah, that guy. Before I close let me say that George W. Bush has been a FANTASTIC Commander in Chief, and THAT is the most important job a President has in this great country. So I leave you now with a trivia question:
Q: Exactly how many acts of terrorism have we had in the United States since September 11, 2001?
A: ZERO.
GOD BLESS AMERICA!
