Also to razzle dazzle the public. I am just so disgusted at the whole thing. All show and no go is the key, and to be able to convince the public into beleiving everything they say. Quite Pathetic really. My God, what will be the future of all of us? In my opinion, it seems the body politic gets worse every cycle.

Obama didn’t mind throwing his grandmother under the bus. A quick trip around liberal blogs will show that they want to throw his father under the bus as well, blaming him for “passing on” an “inaccurate” account to his unsuspecting son.

Anyone wanting to see the speech can look here.

He also says in the speech that his parents got together and had him because of the Selma march. Even though he was born in 1961 and the march happened in 1965.

McCain suffered under Communism while Barack and Hillary espouse it.

“My God, what will be the future of all of us? In my opinion, it seems the body politic gets worse every cycle.”

Yes. It seems to be that way, and I don’t know what we the people can do about it.

But our politicians have always been the garbage of the earth from early on. I wonder at some level if it isn’t the Internet that has finally exposed all of this political filth.

For example, without the Internet, a lot of us would not have known about all the filth that has been exposed in just the past couple of month not to mention the past 16 years.

Just my thoughts.

Obama says what's convenient for the moment; what he believes the current crowd wants to hear.

Obama wants it both ways, has always wanted it both ways. Black and white, Indonesian and American, Muslim and Christian. He loves playing one off the other, using one to hide the other even as the traces of the truth may be assembled to reveal the whole cloth of deception and self-promotion he has been weaving so skillfully since his childhood. No wonder he is a man of change. He IS a changeling, a veritable chameleon, adapting and amending his life story to fit the circumstances.

His lying knows no bounds. He & Clintoon are too peas in a pod. Both are ethically-challenged and morally corrupt.

During his 1959 trip to the United States, the 29-year-old Mboya raised enough money for scholarships for 81 young Kenyans, including Obama Sr., with the help of the African-American Students Foundation. Records show that almost 8,000 individuals contributed. Early supporters included baseball star Jackie Robinson, who gave $4,000, and actors Harry Belafonte and Sidney Poitier.

You would think Obama would like to give credit to generous African-Americans (who were also ground-breakers here) in financing his dad's education, rather than the white elite.

I have heard black commentators on TV refer to “black folk”. In looking around the internet, I found this,
