here is a better Question that should be hung from the rafters at every opportunity.
Senator Barrack HUSSEIN Obama? It's true that your middle name is Hussein, why is it not found anywhere on your website? And Senator Obama, is it also true that Muslims consider you a Muslim since your Father named you Hussein, and he was a Muslim from Kenya?
My goodness, but wasn't he articulate.
And those people are not only the members of that minority or gender. I saw Kiefer Sutherland on TV go on for several sentences about how proud he was to have had the first American Black President on his show. He is NOT alone. People are READY; people are SUPERFICIAL.
Durbin on MSNBC praising Obama
Ever hear of moving from the cesspool liberal cities. I believe you create your own situation.
Move if you don't like it. You sound miserable, so it sounds like you need to change your situation.
And umm never claimed to save the middle class, but where I live, is mostly Conservatives, with like points of views. Very pleasant.
Durbin invokes Lincoln's name .. yet never mentions that Abe Lincoln was a Republican
Do that, and forever wear the label of BIGOT. It will only inspire more support for their side.
That's one of the biggest problems facing conservatives in the eyes of the general voting public these days.
There is precedent though. What was the H in H. Ross Perot? I think he can say with a smile, "We don't vote on candidates for their middle names. What is my opponent's middle name?" I have no idea what Hillary's middle name is.
Also, we can't get someone because of their father's religion or much else about their father. He can turn that around too. Bill Clinton's father was a traveling salesman who seemed to leave his products and DNA all over the country. And his voters will eat up "Sure, my Daddy wasn't head of the CIA! He wasn't President!" bla bla bla.
True. But Obama is no President Palmer. :-)
Of course they need them. In Presidential elections, they vote around 90% for the Dem candidate. The big issue for the Dems is getting a large turnout. The Dems wouldn't take Michigan with the black turnout in Detroit. The same holds true for states like Pennsylvania, Ohio, etc. Black and Hispanic voters make up about 30% of all Dem voters.
The Jewish vote, the Dem's second most loyal constituency, is also critical. Even though Jews make up only 2% of the population, their voting turnout and concentrations in certain key states and areas make them very influential. There are 44 blacks and 43 Jews in Congress, with only three being Reps--Specter, Coleman, and Cantor.
Though the black votes mostly go to Dims, trust me when I say this, many blacks, including many Dim blacks, do not believe this guy is one of them. He is a true African American and has not shared the black American experience. Skin color does not get him a pass. Yes, some blacks who will vote for him just because he's black, but many others see him for the media creation that he is and won't go for it, even if he's on the ticket with Hillary.
I agree. Hillary is ahead in all the polls when competing against Obama, including among black voters. The MSM and the Dems need a viable opponent to put against Hillary just to maintain interest in their primaries. The MSM also benefits by getting more ad money. Hillary will eat Obama alive in the primaries.
We will move. But it will depend on my husband's job. Also, we have small kids and we like to live near family. So moving away will happen but it will be sad for us.
We are not miserable. But I do see, in L.A., a definite trend among the liberal power elite to support both the wealthy and the very poor (read illegals) and the middle class be damned.
Pushed her healthcare plans
good idea... put your head in the sand and maybe he'll go away... :/
you need to know your enemy...
What the fact the after spending TWO Years in a Muslim school in Indonesian, he then transferred to a Catholic School.
His stepfather claims he wasn't a practicing Muslim yet sends him to a Muslim school.
Sorry, but if not wanting a Muslim as President makes me a Bigot, sign me up.
If mentioning his middle name makes me a Bigot, what does it make Barack Hussein Obama for not mentioning it.
Read about his past. Father Muslim, Stepfather Muslim, attende Muslim school for two years before transferring to Catholic School. SO hmm, even his Mother let him attend Muslim School.
Evidence is against him, and if that make me a bigot, so be it.
So are you saying, no one can ask about his past? Or his middle name and its consequences of it. Such as Muslims state he is a muslim no matter what Obama says.
Sounds like you need to do a bit of research there psycho-freep.
You also realize he is named after his father, so his name is Barack Hussein Obama, Jr.
