Big Mama Obama in Baghdad
Political Gateway ^ | January 8, 2006 | ANDY MARTIN

Posted on 10/23/2006 6:52:57 PM PDT by PghBaldy

Yes, Big Mama Obama has just left Baghdad. And he has a solution to our problems in that country: "more minorities."

It is often said that if you only have a hammer, every problem looks like a nail. Increasingly, Obama is a hammer hitting on minority nails. He doesn’t represent the people of Illinois. He represents "minorities" in the U. S. Senate. Of course, Republicans elected Obama, so maybe we have no right to complain. Maybe. Still.

I can criticize President Bush and his policies in Iraq on many grounds. But not doing enough to include "minorities" is not one of Bush's failings. Bush has done everything but do somersaults to include Sunnis in the new Iraq. Whether you agree or disagree with his policies, no one can seriously allege that he has not had enough "affirmative action" for Sunnis.

But for professional minorities such as Obama, there is never enough minority participation, never enough affirmative action, never enough, enough. Obama is becoming a slicker version of Jessie Jackson, always ready to pitch up in a crisis and claim more "minority participation" is the only solution.

It's enough to make you feel sympathetic for the President. Big Mama Obama in Baghdad. What will they think of next?

Obama was afraid to stay out among the Iraqis, and spent his brief Baghdad sojourn safely ensconced in an American fortress. He traveled under guard. What did he see of Iraq? Virtually nothing. But in one day in Baghdad Obama came up with the solution to the mess in Iraq: more minority participation.

Am I picking on Obama? Yes I am. He is a prototypical example of American arrogance that has existed and flourished since the Viet-Nam war. The 24-hour expert. I remember seeing "congressional delegations" fly in and out of Viet-Nam and become instant experts.

While living in Baghdad in 2003 I saw congressional delegations fly into Baghdad and similarly become experts in 24 hours. It was all a phony photo op. Both Republicans and Democrats are guilty.

This Friday (the 13th) I will be outlining my views on Iraq at the Cook County Republican Convention in Rosemont. I have spent 35 years in and out of the Middle East. You may agree, or disagree, with my opinions and conclusions. But you can't accuse me of being a 24-hour wonder.

What does Iraq have to do with the Illinois governor's race? Buy a ticket, support Cook County Republicans, and come to hear what I have to say. It will be interesting.

In the meantime, let's give Obama's prescriptions the same amount of seriousness he gives himself. Virtually none. Touchingly, Obama was playing basketball while in the Middle East. But then, what would you expect?

This is simply classic. The ultimate non-PC coverage of the "Obama" (think: The Oprah). Obama has been discussed non-stop in the last 24 hours since his appearance on Tim Russert (with Russert practically playing with himself under the desk) discussing running for President. President? President of What???? The guy has yet to do anything in politics or public life except write books and give speeches about how partisan everybody else is.

Obama is not even an empty suit. He is a picture of an empty suit. Or rather, a picture of a drawing of a concept of a suit. There is no there, there. And nobody even knows where 'there' is that he isn't there at.

Obama was elected by whites, as Deval Patrick will be in Massachusetts and Harold Ford, Jr. in Tennessee.

It's new-age white guilt, and it's the latest thang.

Whenever I talk to a Democrat and the subject turns to the Illinois senator I pronounce his name: "Obarack Bombbombo." The Democrat will say,"That's not how you're supposed to pronounce it." I will reply, "How do you pronounce it?" And they will say, "After you said,'Obarack Bombbomba' I can't say his right name anymore."

As I recall, the usual race biters complained in the first Gulf War that we had too many blacks over there. They will never be satisfied until they get to keep whites as slaves.

Ahhh. But he's simply the right color for the Dems and the MSM right now. I have said it before and I'll say it again....to the Dems and their minions, you only have to look the part, not have the experience to back up getting elected to the office. Remember Bill Clinton's cabinet was intended to 'look' like America.That way we got a good cross-section of every minority, but no one with the intelligence or experience to do their job.

Obama's only been in the Senate two years. He didn't even vote on Iraq, that's the laughable part. Obama will just sell some books, but he's not Presidential material. Too young and too inexperienced, but he's typical of what the Democrats have to offer - very little.

Rush broadcast the parody back in Jan., 2005. He reacted within days of Kennedy's snafu.

Kennedy, Not Rush, Called Obama "Osama"

October 23, 2006

The Financial Times misquotes me in a story, claiming I am the one who called Barack Obama, "Obama Osama." We take you to a nine-second sound bite, Senator Kennedy during a luncheon speech, which is pre-happy hour, the National Press Club January 11th, 2005.

KENNEDY: There you go. Why don't we just ask Osama bin Laden -- Osama Obama -- Obamamam what is -- since he won by such a big amount.

RUSH: So there you have it. There is there is the origin of it. It's even worse than I remembered it being. Osama bin Laden, Osama Obama, Obamamam, what it is, since he won by -- listen to this again and send this off to the Financial Times guy.

KENNEDY: There you go. Why don't with just ask Osama bin Laden -- Osama Obama -- Obamamam what is -- since he won by such a big amount.

RUSH: Senator Ted Kennedy, credited by this show and himself for the new name for Osama -- see, Barack Obama as Osama bin Laden, Obama Obaman, as he said.

Seriously, is Obama a Muzzie?

Call me a bigot, but this nation is a Christian one, and our culture (yes, we do have a culture, despite the attempts by RATS to destroy it) is under attack. We need to ensure that we elect the right people, those that will fight to protect it and the principles it was built upon. Our laws, our courts, are all built upon the Christian template; it's these basic laws that establish our moral guidlines which have made us the first nation in the entire history of human life on this planet to have the level of freedom we enjoy. We must NEVER elect anyone to office that will erode our freedom and destroy our Chjristian principles. If they want to join our tribe, then they must adopt our ways and our culture, which is Christian, as stated in our constitution.

He really thinks he's 'something' doesn't he?!!! Just because he's the media's darling doesn't mean he will impress the rest of the country. In fact, that will probably work against him more than help him.

I thought the moonbats said that President Bush didn't have enough 'experience'. Well, pardon me, but just exactly what 'experience' does this clown have?!

"They will never be satisfied until they get to keep whites as slaves."

So that's why some black "haters", who are always spewing their hate against "whitey" at DU like Islam. It's for the "obey your black ruler" clause, which allows rule over "whitey" slaves.

The black ruler clause:
Bukhari: V9B89N256 “Allah’s Apostle said, ‘You should listen to and obey your ruler even if he is a black African slave whose head looks like a raisin.’”

(Please note that this "ruler" is still someones slave.)

Other than this allowance, Arabs have nothing good to say about Blacks, as the following shows:

Bukhari:V4B52N137 “The[pedophile] Prophet said, ‘Let the negro slave of Dinar perish. And if he is pierced with a thorn, let him not find anyone to take it out for him.... If he [the black slave] asks for anything it shall not be granted, and if he needs intercession [to get into paradise], his intercession will be denied.’”

That is a nasty Hadith. It states that Black Muslims will never go to Islamic heaven. (which may be a good thing once one learns what Islamic heaven really is)

Tabari II:21 “Ham [Africans] begat all those who are black and curly-haired, while Japheth [Turks] begat all those who are full-faced with small eyes, and Shem [Arabs] begat everyone who is handsome of face with beautiful hair. Noah prayed that the hair of Ham’s descendants would not grow beyond their ears, and that whenever his descendants met Shem’s, the latter would enslave them.”

Blacks are doomed to forever be the slaves of Muslims.

To me, that alone is reason enough to never want to be a Muzzie. However, even if the "blacks are beneath me" clause never existed,, the koran is so full of hatred and murder of all people who are not muslim, I can't understand why anyone would want to belong to a cult such as that.

The Constitution which followed our original Founding Document, The Bill Of Rights, which cites that our rights are bestowed upon all men by their "Creator," (and not by Chuck Darwin, incidentally) as in the One "Almighty God," as found in the Bible and in George Washington's 1798 Thanksgiving Proclamation.

True, they have been. I don't know about Phoenix, but the ads from Pederson started months and months ago and it took forever for Kyl to start running anything. So many of Pederson's ads were downright lies, I can only imagine Kyl had to fight back or take a chance on losing.

Neither the Constitution nor the Bill of Rights mentions God or Christianity. I think you may have them confused with the Declaration of Independence, which mentions "the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God" but not Christianity.
