. . . the same Washington game . . .
It’s a game where the only way for Democrats to look tough on national security is by talking, and acting and voting like Bush-McCain Republicans, while our troops are sent to fight tour after tour of duty in a war that should’ve never been authorized and should’ve never been waged. That’s what happens when we use 9/11 to scare up votes, and that’s why we need to do more than end a war – we need to end the mindset that got us into war.
That’s the choice in this primary. It’s about whether we choose to play the game, or whether we choose to end it; it’s change that polls well, or change we can believe in; it’s the past versus the future. And when I’m the Democratic nominee for President – that will be the choice in November.

Use your vote wisely.
We are the world, we are the children.... He is friggen nuts
He’s a commie. ‘Nuff said.
In a democracy you get the government you deserve, and boy are we about to get what we deserve.....
Barry is sinister and he is scary.
If he is elected, I do not believe we will ever recover from his presidency.
Wow, what a pile of BS. He is basically saying that we got into war because of a 'mindset' not because we have enemies that sent planes into buildings on our soil.
Note that he is in a sense fearmongering. Making people afraid and negative on those who tell the truth about enemies.
Be afraid. Be very afraid.
“Bush-McCain Republicans”
Yup. smart rhetorical move of course.
But if he can do that, we can call him Barack Hussein Obama, the raised Muslim son of a Kenyan elite member of a brutal political organization.
friggen scary...
He doesn’t really “say” anything. It’s really amazing, I listened to the whole pathetic thing, he never says anything.
he’s the guy in the meeting that is unprepared and has no clue what he’s talking about, everybody is looking around wondering what the hell is going on.
Loose quote:
I’ve seen legislative mandates fail for lack of change, we have to have mandates of change, hope in change creates mandates of change people hope and change mandates hope to change mandates that change hope to change.
“Change, change, change”, are we fed up hearing that word? Change to what, change does not necessarily mean it’s good. Ha, we may just be longing for the good old days when George Bush was in the White House.
His record is the “change” he speaks of. From capitalism to socialism. We’ll wind up as a third world country!
What a fraud, pretending to want to help people.
I wish somebody would ask him what he would do about the terrorists and jihad!
happier!
“Barry is sinister and he is scary. If he is elected, I do not believe we will ever recover from his presidency.”
Heh, he’s not scary. And yes, we will survive his presidency.
In fact, I doubt if there will be any “recovery” needed. He’s a puff, a rock star, a Madison Avenue virtual talking head, with no real ability to implement anything he’s talking about.
When Barry moves into 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue, he’s going to find out how hard it is for any president to get his agenda turned into stone. Fact is, his ideas and platitudes are way too radical for the real world of national and world politics. He’ll soon discover that he is NOT King, and really doesn’t have the power to issue royal edicts.
You just watch. He’ll find out. Not to mention, he’ll galvanize our side like nobody’s business. I think this whole thing is going to work to our advantage, in the long run.
“I wish somebody would ask him what he would do about the terrorists and jihad!”
Oh... he would talk to them, of course!!!
his security detail is already bigger than currently for the President himself...
you figure it out...
I’m starting to think that Obama will be a McGovern-esq candidate.
We’ll get McPain - for the better. I’m starting to come around to it.
Please don’t flame, it’s been difficult.
If this “person” becomes president ... he may be the last one ...
Obama off-script is just another screeching banshee of the left:
http://www.weeklystandard.com/Content/Public/Articles/000/000/014/728ofzey.asp?pg=2
i have more faith in the gop and blue dogs. now if he wants gets through the house and senate that will be a disaster.
I intend to have fun watching since i don’t have an emotional detachment.
[..]Fact is, his ideas and platitudes are way too radical for the real world of national and world politics. [...]
The “real” world is full of Chavez, Castro, Kim Jong Il and Akmetjihads.
Why you think Americans wouldn’t vote for something that “real”
his security detail is already bigger than currently for the President himself...
you figure it out...
He is the the one worlder, one religioner
I’m with you.....Barry is an empty suit....and he’s black...not that there’s anything wrong with that, but there are some, esp. in the Dem party who won’t vote that way.....NOW, if it were Thomas Sowell, Michael Steele, etc....
I concur. I posted somewhere about Michael Steel being a great Veep choice..
The only downside is it would “appear” obvious, even though we don’t work that way.
that’s why we need to do more than end a war – we need to end the mindset that got us into war.
PULEEZE! HILLARY WOULD BE FAR WORSE THAN OBAMA!
Secondly, the few people I know that routinely vote Dem. Do not currently plan to vote for either BHO or Hilde. 2 like McPain, the other likes Bloomberg.....
Small pool, but it’s what I’m seeing.
With respect to the excerpt I posted, you're in a wee bit of error. He will have the ability and the power.
As President, he doesn't need Congressional authorization to retreat and withdraw. All he need do is what Clinton says she'll do on the first day in office. Tell the Joint Chiefs to draw up the plan.
Says a lot about McPain doesn’t it....
He expanded believe it or not on that word tonight.
Out of Iraq ASAP says we should have never gone and he voted against.
We need to rebuild roads/infastructure here in America.
As I posted before tonight Obama sound like a parrot of Al Sharptons running points when he stepped into (temporarily) the race last time.
Your comment is vacuous and foolish. You underestimate obama at your own risk. HE is far far far more dangerous to conservatives than Hillary could ever be. Far more liberal, and far more popular. He is to the liberals what Reagan was to us conservatives. A phenomenon.
Of course the most liberal Senator in the US Senate *knows* he is not all powerful when he becomes president. He’s no bumpkin. OF course he KNOWS that promises he makes now cant be fulfilled. BUT ... that’s not the point. He has a Harvard education and is an understudy of Ted Kennedy, the most prolific author of liberal legislation in the Congress. This man is will be the most liberal President with the most liberal congress, and they have an agenda of change.
CHANGE WHAT? Change away from everything we believe in.
As one Obama supporter puts it:
“Obama is our Ronald Reagan and he is going to obliterate everything that Reaganism stood for. Yes he will raise taxes, but the wealthy will still be paying less than when Reagan took office. Yes he will increase spending on the poor, the homeless, the sick, the elderly and students, but it will still be less as a percentage of GDP than under Carter. Yes he will get us out of this silly “war on terror,” bring the troops home, slash the size of the military, and restore peace on a global basis. And if he reinstates the “fairness doctrine” and gets that conservative hate speech off the air, so much the better. Obama is going to return us to the peace and prosperity that we enjoyed under the Kennedy Administration and the nay-sayers should just get over it. Only Obama can unite the country and it is high time that it be done. My only regret is that he has not said that he will prosecute Cheney and Bush for their war crimes, for illegal wiretapping, and for gross incompetence.”
He WILL move the political landscape of the country massively to the left. He WILL pass his tax hikes, end the Bush era of tax cuts, implement amnesty, implement gays openly in the miliary, and put pro-abort judges on the Supreme Court, instigate the fairness doctrine and public funding of elections, cut and run in GWOT hot-spots and grovel to rogue regimes.
... and that’s just the start.
His globalist vision is not about us winning the GWOT but about pretending our enemies are not the problem, just the US ‘attitude’ about it.
“You just watch. He’ll find out. Not to mention, he’ll galvanize our side like nobody’s business.”
Galvanizing *after* the election is irrelevent - we can be angry and dismayed and it wont matter, because the 50% of America that voted for him will not mind as he socializes away our future and remakes AMerica into a NewPCWorldORder ObamaNation .... So ... will he galvanize us now? If not now, when? If not us, who?
“I think this whole thing is going to work to our advantage, in the long run.” Foolish hopefulness, kind of like those industrialists who underestimated Hitler and thought they could control him.
If Obama wins, it will be a turning point. What we lose in 2008 will be lost FOREVER.
His record exposed in this article.
The Two Malcontents » The Black Kennedy: But does anyone know the real Barack Hussein Obama?
Address:http://www.the-two-malcontents.com/2008/02/02/the-black-kennedy-but-does-anyone-know-the-real-barack-hussein-obama/ Changed:8:22 PM on Tuesday, February 12, 2008
“hopefully these are just empty words.”
HOPEFULLY this man will never be president.
Dont count on ‘hope’ bailing us out if he does.
He will beat Carter as the worst President of our lifetimes.
Hmmm have you seen any pink bow tied beefy mean glaring black men in his security detail?
Cynthia McKinney had them.
BTW Why does he keep referring to VP Cheney as his cousin?
If true must be a gene or two not passed on down.
preach it Hussein Obama ! tell us the socialist gospel !
But it is what it is and the negatives (obama) are too much to take my ball and go home.
a lot can happen from now till Nov. I’ll be watching Mac closely, as I’m sure most of us here will be.
Right now, I just can’t check my brain at the door and coronate Obama. shivers.
come to think of it , seems he would have the Bean Pie salesmen on his side
I’ll second that!! Our beloved republic is not immune from destruction, from within or without or from both simultaneously in mindless cooperation. (Rush Limbaugh’s mindless, unquenchable optimism notwithstanding).
LOL Never heard of the Bean Pie salesmen.
Help me out there.
Looks like we're all going to have to gather our facts about this young demagogue who might actually become the Rat candidate, but I'm woefully behind. What brutal political organization? How was/is his father an "elite" member? Thanks.
Don’t be dissin’ Idol dawg. : )
1. The same could have been said about Carter. Iran is still majorly FUBAR. And Obama wants to surrender Iraq, which would destroy our efforts everywhere from Lebanon to Afghanistan and Pakistan.
2. Carter didn't get a chance to appoint Supremes. Clinton appointed Ginsburg and Breyer. The next president may appoint 2-3 more.
I’ll tell you what. If all that happens then we have Jimmy Carter Economics II. Stagflation (at best) for years. Instead of 401k’s dropping 10-15%, they drop 30-40% (if unattended).
How much will Americans stand for this economic self-inflicted pain if he wins? I guess we shall see. Good luck to one and all.
gee, here I was thinking America was the greatest country on earth ! and that America acheived that greatness by it's successful policies
gee,thanks for pointing up all the problems I didnt know about , thanks agin Hussein Obama the great and powerful agent for change !
