Obama's Speech: What did he know and when did he know it?
Primetime Politics ^ | March 19, 2008 | Thomas Sowell

Posted on 03/18/2008 8:59:13 PM PDT by Nony

Did Senator Barack Obama’s speech in Philadelphia convince people that he is still a viable candidate to be President of the United States, despite the adverse reactions to statements by his pastor, Jeremiah Wright?

The polls and the primaries will answer that question.

Concur. Too bad Hillary wasn’t taken out first.

That was the flaw in Rush's grand plan. I still think Obama will take the nomination, because Obama will be dealing the race card from the top of the deck, and Hillary has no way to counter it.

It put the sheep back in the fold.

Yep...I hear Chrissy Matthews' leg is tingling again.

Here’s all any Conservative needs to know about Barrack Hussein Obama:

Special Interest Group Ratings:

Planned Parenthood - 100% Support
National Right To Life - 0% Support
NARAL - 100% Support
Americans for Tax Reform - 0% Support
ACLU - 83% Support
NEA - 100% Support
NOW Hags - 100% Support
Citizens Against Government Waste - 13% Support
Gun Owners of America - 0% Support
NRA - “F” Rating
Federation for American Immigration Reform - 0% Support
US Border Patrol - 8% Support
Unions - 82% - 100% Support
Population Connection - 100% Support (These are the ‘Zero Growth’ freaks)

[Barrack Hussein Obama’s record in the Illinois senate:]

- Opposed the Defense of Marriage Act; would work to repeal it in the U.S. Senate; would not vote for any legislation that would restrict the ability of gays and lesbians to marry.
- Opposed the Born Alive Infant Protection Act four times in Illinois. A similar bill passed the U.S. Senate 98-0. The Born Alive bill would have prohibited a baby from being born alive but left to die according to the mother’s wishes. Obama inexplicably opposed this bill not once, twice, or three times, but four times.
- Obama took almost $90,000 in bundled contributions from the Council for a Livable World. The council is a well-known anti-defense organization.
- Obama puts rigid ideology before what’s best for the people of Illinois, and presumably he would do that as President as well. He has on several occasions made public his opposition to the NAFTA trade agreement and his belief that it must be negotiated. All the while thanks to NAFTA, Illinois exports $1.3 billion in agricultural goods to Canada.
- Obama refused to vote for a bill in the Illinois State Senate that would have increased penalties for drug traffickers.
- Obama voted against a bill that would have delivered the death penalty to gang members who murder first responders.
- Finally, just in case you thought it couldn’t get any worse, Obama was the only member of the Illinois State Senate to vote against a bill that prohibited early release for sexual predators.

Can’t kill the innocent fast enough, can’t free the guilty soon enough!

Thanks for the ping. Excellent Sowell.

Obama is either a complete idiot and incompetent, or coward and liar. Either way he's not fit for the presidency. Of course, we all knew that a long time ago.

MaggieM, very well—and clearly—put. In a sensible, sane world, MSM and even DemocRATS would be saying the same thing. What blinds the useful idiots, making them, as Sowell says, so very useful?

LOL :) Oh thank goodness. I've been worried about his Obama induced paraesthesia.

Hillary’s such a coward. She’s hoping to ride in after the right does all the work for her.

Well said and my personal opinion is that it’s the latter.

Obama chose to be an “angry black man” despite the fact that his grandparents sacrified to give him the best of everything, including private school and an Ivy League education. He is just a self-absorbed whiner.

No-one will say it, especially the Dim-bulbs!
Everyone thinks its “racist” to do so.
I prefer useless idiots :)

Sure did.
I cant believe there are people who still don't see through him.
Are our young so naive? Are the lights on, but nobody's home?
If this doesn't sink his ship, nothing will.
