Barack is not Qualified
By Larry Johnson on June 24, 2008 at 8:54 PM in Afghanistan, Barack Obama, Campaign Financing, FISA, Father Michael Pfleger, John McCain, Muslim, NAFTA, Qualifications, Race Card, Rev. James Meeks, Rev. Jeremiah Wright Jr., Rev. Michael Pfleger, black liberation theology
Ah, it is “feel the love” day. American Prospect put up a piece by David Weigle with the catchy title, Larry Johnson’s Strange Trip that strongly suggests nobody likes me. The rightwingers hate me (Rush called me a “leftwing hack”) and the “progressives?” They are in full meltdown.
And then I got this email from Cathy in Michigan:
Larry,
I was a big Hillary supporter, but I just don’t understand why the negative stuff about Obama is coming from Dem Hillary supporters:
#1) Obama is ten times better than McCain
#2 The GOP will and is playing the race card (come on you got to face reality)
#3) I still think Obama and Hillary should run together
So where are you coming from? Do you really want McCain to win?
Cathy B.
Lincoln Park, Michigan
Fair questions Cathy, so here’s my answer.
I prefer that neither win. McCain, by virtue of temperament and his decision to put neo-cons in key foreign policy positions in his campaign, worries me. I cannot support him. But compared to Obama, McCain comes across as King Solomon. McCain at least has a history of legislative accomplishment and has demonstrated he can work with the most progressive of Democrats (McCain/Feingold anyone?).
Obama? He has no significant legislative accomplishments. He has claimed credit for things he did not do, but he has not actually put together the coalitions that he talks about in his stump speeches. The man, attractive and articulate, is an empty suit and a lightweight.
The color of Barack’s skin is irrelevant to the question of his qualification. People should not vote for him or against him because he is black. Doing either is racist. Similarly, you should not vote for or against Hillary because she is a woman. Her sex is equally irrelevant. Character and competence ought to be the issue and on both Obama is found wanting.
Consider how he has distanced himself from the Reverend Jeremiah Wright, the Reverend James Meeks, and the Reverend Michael Pfleger. [PHOTO: Father Pfleger, Rev. Wright, and Barack Obama.] We know now that these gentlemen espouse the most vile racist and homophobic messages.
Barack now claims he knew nothing about the views of these men. That is bullshit! Here is what Barack told Cathleen Falsani about his religious buddies in a 2004 interview:
GG:
Do you have people in your life that you look to for guidance?OBAMA:
Well, my pastor is certainly someone who I have an enormous amount of respect for.
I have a number of friends who are ministers. Reverend Meeks is a close friend and colleague of mine in the state Senate. Father Michael Pfleger is a dear friend, and somebody I interact with closely.GG:
Those two will keep you on your toes.OBAMA:
And theyr’e good friends. Because both of them are in the public eye, there are ways we can all reflect on what’s happening to each of us in ways that are useful.I think they can help me, they can appreciate certain specific challenges that I go through as a public figure.
And do you remember when Barack had trouble remembering whether he had heard Wright damn America or say any of the other outrageous crap that he spewed? In fact, Wright denounced the United States in 2001 after the 9-11 attacks. Barack now says he doesn’t remember being at Church when Wright spoke those words. Well guess what? That is not what he told Falsani in 2004:
GG:
Do you still attend Trinity?OBAMA:
Yep. Every week. 11 oclock service.Ever been there? Good service.
I actually wrote a book called Dreams from My Father, it’s kind of a meditation on race. There’s a whole chapter on the church in that, and my first visits to Trinity.
But it is not just on matters of faith that he lies and dissembles. As we have documented in this blog over the last two weeks he has changed his tune about his position on FISA, about public financing for presidential campaigns, and about NAFTA.
If Barack had simply taken time to chair a hearing on NATO’s role in Afghanistan or had traveled to Europe to fulfill his duties as chair of the Senate Foreign Relations subcommittee with responsibility for NATO then I would give him the benefit of the doubt that he was trying to prepare himself. But he did not? Why? His words, not mine–he was too busy running for President.
And when it comes to playing the race card, Barack displays the gift of chutzpah. He recently told that Congressional Black Caucus that Hillary Clinton folks spread the rumor that he was a muslim. According to the Telegraph:
He reminded the congressmen and women that he had held his tongue even when Clinton allies had falsely suggested he was a Muslim and when the candidate herself had said he was not ready to be commander-in-chief.
It was not Hillary or her supporters. If anything, it was Barack himself who opened the door to the questions about Islam. He told Falsani:
As I said, we moved to Indonesia. She remarried an Indonesian who wasn’t particularly, he wasn’t a practicing Muslim. I went to a Catholic school in a Muslim country. So I was studying the Bible and catechisms by day, and at night you’d hear the prayer call.
We now know this was a flat out lie. He went to a Muslim school where he learned to recite the Muslim call to prayer. Nicholas Kristoff noted back in March of 2007:
Sorry to give offense to Alabama, but the reality is that Obama’s Muslim connections — his Muslim grandfather, his childhood in Indonesia, his middle name (Hussein), and, yes, his ability to recite the call to prayer — will turn off many voters in red states.
At the CIA we called that “no Shit” analysis. It is Obama’s own comments that raised the issue of his status as a Muslim (or not). That was not Hillary or her supporters. It was Barack himself. Like Nick Kristoff, I could care less if Barack is or was a muslim (I take him at his word that he was not affiliated formally with any religion until he signed up on the Jeremiah Wright Hate Train). What bothers me is he refuses to fully admit that Islam was a part of his life when he lived in Indonesia. He learned the call to prayer but nothing else? Yeah, that is change you can believe in.
Let me close with a terrific video, originating from New England Cable News (NECN), featuring Darragh Murphy. It is worth your time.
“If you care about the issues I care about and the future that I outlined in my campaign, then you really have to stay with us in the Democratic Party and vote Sen. Obama to be our next president.”
And the opinion of most on this blog is we make up our own minds who to vote for and it will never be Obama.
amen!
Tell them to give Hillary back her entire delegates and take away the ones Obama got for “would be voters” and then you’ll have your Dem to vote for..Otherwise, we are in no mood to hand over to keys to a man who supports his campaign with money from terrorists here and abroad. OKAY?
AMEN! Give back the delegates.
Why is it not OK for Bush to hijack elections but A-OK for Barack?
Frauds are not legitimate. Period. Why vote for someone they are trying to install?
If that’s not motivation enough to vote for McCain in DROVES, then just resign yourself: you do not love America or democracy. If votes mean so little to you, why whine about those who are voting for McCain? At least we’re not enabling a FRAUD who accepts the votes meant for others.
What else is there? The ends do not justify the means.
Good comment Lou - Don’t forget to add in all the death threats and thuggery. I will NEVER for for someone who commits or condones such Fasist actions
Here you go Larry….
“Ronald Reagan, who served as the President of the United States from 1981-1989, despite having only eight years of government experience - three fewer than Obama” so Larry that excuse don’t fly bud. Also as a “liberal” I find it hypocritical that you would even throw that stone. I unlike you heard the whole tapes of Wright because if you had you wouldn’t have thrown that stone either and you know I what? I agree with most of what Wright said as do the people that have heard them and I am not talking about the MSM versions the whole thing Larry start to finish. AHD must be a real bummer for you Larry.
A prayer learned in school! LOL Sorry I can’t say anything the stupid is it burns!
I would say it is over to just move on, but you can’t extract your head so you keep it up bud I am sure FNC will need a fake liberal that gets a chubby from bashing his own sooner or later.
If Rev. Wright’s comments were not wrong or offensive, why did Barack quit the church and denounce his pastor?
Exactly. Obama is fraught with vulnerabilities and plagued by his own inconsistencies. This “Keep The Change 08″ campaign illustrates precisely that.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fZPEYaPl8Vs
Reagan was active in the Republican party and was trying to move the country, as well as his own party in a certain direction. He ran and lost in 1976. Obama is not moving the country or the party in any discernable direction. He is all over the place and CHANGES direction several times per month.
Reagan was also Governor of California during turbulent times of the free speech movement. To some, that counts as experience.
Being a governor of a state like California is different from being a state legislator…where Barky didn’t do anything for his first 6 years in office anyway, by the way.
I thought Hillary criticised him for his “Gas Tax Holiday”, which after experience, he decided was a bad idea.
Obama didn’t do anything his last year as a state legislator either. Emil Jones Jr, even admitted when questioned in a prominent Chicago paper that he, as Senate Majority Leader told the other senators to give their authored legislation to Obama so that he could acrue an actual RECORD. The other senators were ticked off about it, but they did it to be “loyal”…SOUND FAMILIAR?
Well, don’t forget that, in your critiquing of Reagan’s experience, Obama admitted his admiration of Reagan, INCLUDING THE MAN’S POLICIES. NO SELF-RESPECTING DEMOCRAT would, could, or should admire Reagan’s POLICIES on ANY level.
Of course, most of the Obamabots were barely able to walk (if that) when Reagan was in the White House, so they don’t know how bad Reagan was for this country. But if you want to support a flawed candidate who so admires a flawed President (of a different party), go right ahead. Just don’t expect the rest of us to fall for Obama’s bullsh!t.
“But if you want to support a flawed candidate who so admires a flawed President, go right ahead”
Hahaha. Keep saying that with a straight face as you vote for McCain, you self-respecting democrat. Hypocrite.
Well…that was bizarre.
Reagan was a Governor, who ran a state… big difference between him and someone who was a Illinois legislator (part-time) and a US Senator for 130 or so days before he formed his Presidential exploratory committee. BIG difference.
Obama has NO experience compared to Reagan. And as a life-long Dem, I would vote for Reagan any day over The Radical One, Plastic Jesus, Obamababy, Obamamessiah.
Hillary or McCain ‘08!
Hi Dee! Good to see you here. I left TM too!
Why are so many people ignorantly blind to the facts?
How can you possibly compare part-time organizin’ in da hood, with running the state of California?
Are you out of your damn mind?
What the hell is wrong?
It makes absolutely no sense at all.
Oh, yeah, what a winning example! The Reagan years….I remember them. That was the last time we had families living out of cars as many are doing again now.
And even putting that aside, you are FOS, Pilsner.
Reagan was a governor. That is a ton more experience than a state senator: especially a state senator such as Barack, who voted “present” half the time and hit wrong buttons —oops!— when he did actually make a vote. Barack did NOTHING as a state senator, either, until the king-makers, at the last minute, GAVE him a slew of bills authored and worked on by others so he’d have a fraudulent resume with which to run for national office.
And take the words of Obama himself when he said he would NOT run for president, because if he did he would have to start IMMEDIATELY —but lo and behold. After ONE year of doing nothing in the Senate, he ran….
Larry is right. Obama did not hold any hearings on NATO’s role in Afghanistan to even attempt to fulfill his duties as chair of the Senate Foreign Relations subcommittee. Obama was too busy to even learn on the job. And when he does attempt to do something, such as protect people from nuclear power plant waste, the nuclear power industry simply BUYS him off and he waters down his own attempted legislation.
And who needs to throw stones? Obama does his own stumbling, flipflopping around on NAFTA, FISA, campaign finance, ad nauseam.
Just face it, “bud” —- you are an ignorant chump.
Reagan was gov of CA dick, you’re headed in the wrong direction. What little experience that Barky has is part time and even he voted present many times because he didn’t have the testicular fortitude to take a stand.
JoJo, are you from Illinois?
Our great Governor Blagojevich (snark) got a lot of ridicule for suggesting he had the “testicular fortitude” to stand up to his father-in-law, Chicago Ald. Dick Mell (nepotism is RAMPANT in IL - expect to see Michelle or the Obama girls running for office in the near future)? Just curious.
PILSNER..
There is a long list of reasons why Senator Obama is not qualified to be President or in Control of the United States government and US Military….
Inexperience…combined withPROVEN Poor Performance and PROVEN POOR Judgement are some of the Many differences between Govenor Reagan, a proven Administrator,
and One term senator Obama…
Senator Obama has a very weak background ..that included Extreme Liberal Influences and known Communists, to a drunken and Irresponsible Father..to associations with Corrupt politicians and convicted criminals and known Bombers and Terrorists…
Ronald Reagan was consistent in his Policys..and never associated with Extremists and radicals who hated the American Government and the “White Mans System” and who taught others to think the same Way…
Larry johnson was right about the Bush administration, he was right about the Iraq War
and sdpoke out against it before obama did, Larry Johnson was right about Rove, Cheney, Rumsfeld, the OSP and the outting of Valorie Plame and treatment of Ambassador Joe Wilson..
Rove was part mof a secretivive groups that lied to and misled the american People…
Investigations and court Preceedings are now rapidly proving Larry RIGHT when He stood alone
on Issue after Issue..on BEHALF of the CONSTITUTION and the Rights and Freedoms of the American people…
Larry knows He is not perfect..>He does Not Have a MESSIAH COMPLEX like the double talking Senator Obama..
Larry has been consistent in standing up to the bullies ..and to those in or around the GOVERNMENT who do Not Serve us well…or those who Lie and Misrepresent Themselfs and thier conduct..through propoganda and Deception…
I will stand by a Guy like Larry Johnson, anytime…
He stood up to the Bush administration, and the republicans in his Own Party…all most white caucasian politicians..
Now He is rightfullly saying Senator Clinton is most qualified of the current candidates, and Obama is least qualified for well known Published and stated reasons…and He is being Pushed on the American people through more political manipulation and deception…
Senator Obama has proven through his known and chosen Associations, in his personal and political and Public Life…that he will only Be a MESSIAH to the Likes of Jeremiah Wright and his like minded Black Liberation Cultists…
We Must have a president who Honors the Constitution…and LIBERTY..for All the People of the United states…
The sworn Oath is to Preserve, Protect and defend the Constitution of the United States from All enemys Foreign and DOMESTIC…
Most of Senator.obamas known Friend and associates have publically made it clear in thier speech that they are Enemys of the united States Government..and Subversive in thier ideology…
Senator Obama has proved he cannot be TRUSTED with Control of the United States Government..with a background likem his..
Larry Johnson can be proud that He is more Like JOHN ADAMS for standing on Principal ..even to the point of placing the Welfare of Our Nation ahead of his Reputation and Friendships..
I understand Larry and thank him for being a modern Patriot like John Adams was….in these Dangerous and deceptive times that once again try our Nation.. Threaten its survival and tests the Will of the People ..Now AS then..
To expose Tyrrants, who ever they are…so that they “DON”T TREAD ON US”…
This is not about the “PARTY”..Its about the ‘PEOPLE..’ ALL of the People…
A man can tell me anything….but his actions and my insticts will tell me if He is a liar, a con Man and a Deciever..
Thats what I judge Barack Obama by..His proven actions and my own instincts..
Like Larry Johnson, I keep coming to the same conclusion…
The Illinois State Senate, which Obama was a member of for 7 years, met a grand total of 55 days a year when Obama held office. It was a part time job that works out to one day a week. And in the first five years, Obama didn’t manage to get one piece of legislation signed into law.
Reagan was a moral atrocity but he held a full time job as governor of the most populous state in the union for eight years and did daily battle with a hostile Democratic legislature. Before that, he was president of the Screen Actors Guild - one of the largest unions in the nation.
The two do not have equivalent resumes.
Reagan was Gov. of CA back in the 60s, highly active in the Republican Party before (and after) then, and before that period, was highly active back in the 50s and 60s as a pretend liberal in the Democratic party.
Obama, on the other hand, did almost nothing for the first 10 of his 11 years in the IL State Senate, and only accomplished anything due to having been handed dozens of bills to sponsor by Emil Jones(?), bills for which 99% of the work had already been done by other Dem politicians - by that point in time, they really only needed to be introduced - so he didn’t actually do anything of substance there. And since being in the US Senate, he’s only sponsored and passed two bills: One to promote democracy in the Congo, and one to rename a post office.
And as for Wright, I “hope” that the part you and the people you know DON’T agree with is the part about the US being inherently evil…the mere fact that that is is there is, for want of a better word, damning enough.
Let me ask you sir, just what do you think this:
Are you asserting that St. Ronnie was other than a mediocre man and ReichWing shill? What was the first thing this moron did as President?
That’s right.
Tore off the solar panels Carter had installed on the WH roof and gutted funding for sustainable energy. Diesel hit $5.00/gal in my area today.
Are you intelligent enough to make the connection?
Saying that Obama is equivalent to St. Ronnie in experience is like saying he’s dumber than fuck. Great, great point you made there sir.
And ya know Obamacans are always doing this comparing lil’ Barkey to folks from the past. Curious is it not. For if, as the O-bots assert, lil’ Barkey has a record we could look at that instead of asserting he’s just like….
Che…
or
Thomas Jefferson
or
George Washington
no…no…no… I got it!
Senator Obama is the reincarnation of:
Abraham Lincoln.
Yep, Halleluyah! We is saved!
I believe Mark Twain spoke most eloquently to you, sir, when he said:
I think you should know the State Senate in Ill. is a part time job. They meet fifty five days a year. That would be six years to one year as governor. Since Obama served eight years, that is a total of one and a half years in governor time.
What were his responsibilities as compared to a governor? Ronald Reagan managed the budget of the most populous state in the country. We don’t know what Obama managed because he hasn’t released his tax records for those years.
We all heard more than enough from Wright, not only in his sermons, but when he spoke on News Hour and the National Press Club. Forget the sermons and just remember what he said there.
African American children learn with a different part of their brain ( not the logic side )which should be insulting to any AA. Obama says what he says because he is a politician. The American government created the HIV-AIDS virus to commit genocide against Black people. You can Google the rest if you need to.
I could care less about his religion, but if it is a fact he spent his formative years in a radical environment ( if it is a fact his stepfather was radical in his beliefs ) any child psychologist will tell you the ages one through five form the building blocks upon which our entire set of values are based.
Former member of the Party Formerly Known as Democratic.
BTW, Larry, I like you and this forum is the most open and Democratic I have come accross.
Could it be that you are…stupid?
No comparison, Ronald Reagen served as Governor of California, elected to run the state. Obama was elected to the state senate and voted present. If I’m looking for a leader I’m looking for someone that leads, and doesn’t avoid the issues. Voting present is a cowards way out.
“Ronald Reagan, who served as the President of the United States from 1981-1989, despite having only eight years of government experience - three fewer than Obama” so Larry that excuse don’t fly bud.
I was no fan of Reagan, but I have to say that being governor of California equals a lot of experience. California has a larger population and is bigger in area than any country in Europe and many others in the world.
If experience wasn’t an issue, why all the talk by the media of Obama needing an experienced VP. Why would the VP need it and not the man with his finger on the “nuke” button.
Um, idiot, Reagan had executive experience. Neither one of the candidates now has had executive experience, so nobody (including Hillary) is really qualified for the position of POTUS. However, McCain has had a lot more experience in the federal government than FRESHMAN Senator Obama.
Navy captain is an executive postion
Great idea! Use Reagan to justify Obama. Bush has implemented Reagan’s policies with a vengeance and it has been a resounding disaster. And his energy “policy” - don’t worry, be happy - undid the successful conservation measures put into place by Carter and put us back on the road to dependency on unstable Middle Eastern states. Then there was his ballooning of the deficit with his irresponsible tax cuts, his widening of the income gap, etc. and his trashing of government in general. Good role model for Obama.
Reagan was the Governor of Califoria, if it was a country instead of a state it would be the 8th largest economy in the world. I don’t think you can compare being the CEO of that State to Obama, who was a part-time State Senator from Chicago, writing letters on behalf of Tony Rezko so Rezko could get Gov’t backed loans for his SLUM PROJECTS, which did end up bankrupt. These were projects in Obama’s district and the Taxpayers picked up the cost of the bad loans, thank you Barack Obama!
There is absolutely no basis for comparing being the governor of CA to a representative in Illinois.
That’s bad analysis there.
Do you also agree with his ACTIONS??
1. Humping a pew while speakng with young children present?
2, Stealing another man’s wife under the guise of spiritual marriage conseling?
Have you ever read James Cones books and compared them with Karl Marxes books? If you had you see that Cone lifted verbatim entire passages from Marx. That is NOT religion - connecting to a higher spritual power - it is another gutter ideology - where a few takes from the productive to give to the lazy or power hungry! Far cry from any recognized religion in the world.
Frankly your constant attempts to discredit Larry Johnson as the opposite of the wonderful, courageous, smart, and patriotic person he is disgusts me beyond beliefs.
I agree with ALL the “I Own my Vote” precepts, PUMA precepts, and Denver Group Precepts. But I also have a whote luxary liner full of changes I want to see, before I ever again join forces with you, or any of the Obots - you are simply the 21st century version of Mao’s Red Guard and Hitler youth. History will record you for animalistic thugs you really are!
You said it! I’ve already given a nice sized donation to McCain in lieu of Obama/DNC!
Here LJ, let me get you a whaaaa burger and some french cries.
McCain is another GW. He graduated 894 our of 899 at Annapolis, then used big daddy’s coat tails to get into flight school.
And LJ, I would think you would be concerned about net neutrality (since without it your site would no exist). Why would a man who doesn’t know how to use a computer protect net neutrality?
McCain is too out of touch. And however bad you think Obama may be, he will have a staff to keep him from straying too far off course.
Yes and the first three he’ll appoint to his cabinet will be Wright, Pfleger and Farakhan…wolves guarding the hen house.
You cretins have an inordinate amount of Chutzpah even mentioning net neutrality.
Especially given the cyber terrorism, vandalism and other horrendus things you do to others websites.
You cannot cry first amdnement rights - without making sure ALL have them, including thos with opposite opinions.
I hope all of you Hillary supporters will either vote for McCain or not vote at all if you cannot write in Hillary,petrified of this Obama, he has an evil agenda and will destroy America. I am a bit mad that Hillary is going to help him and that Bill is now offering support.
People need to think back at what happened to the republican party… They had a similar segment within their party; a group who is fiercely ideological, their right everybody else is wrong, my way or the highway attitudes, take no prisoner mentality… and they were permitted by the mainstream republicans to take control for 20 or so years… It destroyed their party…
The Democrats are in the same boat… So before you run around claiming that you have to support your party even when you know they are wrong and that they have done something wrong…think about how different things would be if people like gingrich, delay, bush, cheney, (I could go on forever) had been stopped by their own party. At least they would be respected. So, how are we going to be looked upon? Larry Johnson’s article about Obama is correct. He is even more unqualified than Bush if that could be possible… At least bush had been a governor. Yeah, obama is more intelligent, and articulate… but his demeanor is parallel to bush’s. His elevated sense of self, his arrogance, his inability to recognize nuances… they are all equally scary things… This is not a man (nor is his wife the woman) who should run the government of the United States. That’s the bottom line.
That to me sounds like the PUMA mentality, who seem to prefer the idea of putting the party out of power if the do not FORCE their way. The difference is their Leader does not actually support them.
COUNTRY BEFORE PARTY.
We are not sheep or “followers.” We are independent thinkers who recognize corruption when we see it–wherever we see it.
But he has more experience than Lincoln! (snark)
He does! (not snark)
Yes those years with Reverend Wright count for a lot of experience!
Honest Barack.
its amazing how dazzlingly dim “high info voters” can be.
Lincoln in his short time in the Illinois legislature was elected by his peers to Whig Party Chairman. He distinguished himself in a short amount of time.
When he was not in elected office, he ran a law firm with a partner and tried 400 cases before the state supreme court. Obama never tried a single case.
The Illinois legislature meets for 55 days a year. It’s a part-time job. Obama’s first full-time job, other than constantly campaigning, was as U.S. Senator in 2004.
..and, and he’s compared to JFK, and, and…he gave that ‘great’ speech on race that’s ’supposed’ to be comparable to MLK? (snicker)
When Lincoln was president, our population wasn’t even half what it is today. America wasn’t a world power. There were no nuclear weapons. They didn’t even have telephones, yet, so it took a long time for news to reach all the way around the world. Sure, Lincoln is a fair comparison. (Snark!)
I SECOND THIS NOTION IT IS OUR COUNTRY BEFORE PARTY BECAUSE I AM PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN EVERYDAY OF MY LIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Do you recognize a clearly photoshopped photo like the one Larry J is passing off above? Talk about a lack of honesty. Faking a photo to try and tie Obama to Pflager. That’s pretty desperate.
If you don’t think the photo is a fake, look at the shadows, the relative size of each head, and best of all, the fact that Obama is wearing a flag pin - which he only started doing recently. And no, he has not been to the church recently.
It isn’t supposed to be a real photo. I’m an “Obamatroll” and even I’m not that retarded.
OK, so if it is not supposed to be a real photo, then it is supposed to be a fake photo. Which is what I said it was. A fake.
Damn - you are seriously stupid!
you need to be on norplant - you are too dumb to be allowed to breed and dim down the gene pool!
More proof that fully half the population has a IQ in the double digits…
Bring back poll testing!
Hey Ted and Adam, Obama’s not paying you to argue with each other.
Kinda reminds me of Bill and Ted’s Excellent Adventure. About the same level of intellect working here…..
Marcy, I sent two emails to Pelosi today and I used your phrase, The Party Formerly Known As Democratic, in both.
Thank you for being so creative.
Another thing about Obama groupies. They love to call people retarded. Some day, if they ever grow up and get married, they might have a baby who is born retarded. Then maybe they’ll think about how many times they tossed that word out to be nasty.
Ted you are a moron. Photoshop was not involved. That looks like a scissor job from the early 80’s
It’s obviously a collage. No one has to “try” to tie bho to phleger. Phleger was listed on bho’s campaign website as a spiritual advisor. Bho has mentioned phleger as a friend many times. Why don’t you read the article before commenting?
It’s an everyday photo montage, Ted.
No deception was intended and no deception would be perceived by anyone possessing even a rudimentary intelligence.
Ted-
10 points off for misspelling Pfleger’s name.
Come here often?
Oh God, not another photo analysis!
The photo is for visual purposes only. Do you live in box? No news where you live? Oh, wait I’m sorry you live in a cave like all good little BOBO trolls.
From the 2004 “God Factor” Interview.
OBAMA:
Well, my pastor is certainly someone who I have an enormous amount of respect for.
I have a number of friends who are ministers. Reverend Meeks is a close friend and colleague of mine in the state Senate. Father Michael Pfleger is a dear friend, and somebody I interact with closely.
I read this just today, and you are 100% on the mark here. Obama has been in cahoots with these 3 idiots for 20 years… and, as my mama said, “Birds of a feather flock together.”
He was in the congregation when Wright spewed his venom and never said a negative word, until it threatened his campaign.
He is an egotistical, obnoxious, opportunist. He would throw his own mother under the bus.
NObama!!! NEVER!
Hillary or McCain ‘08!!!
It’s a composite, for God’s sake. It was not intended to be otherwise.
Are you for real? Larry just tried to put all three together in one tiny space - don’t you know how to cut and paste, or crop??? WE ALL COULD SEE THAT! WE COULD ALL SEE that they were individual photos just pasted together! DUH!!! Are you part of the ‘highly educated whites’ that support Obama? Surely not! LOL!
Are you for real? Larry just tried to put all three together in one tiny space - don’t you know how to cut and paste, or crop??? He didn’t intend for us to think they were all three together at the same time. WE ALL COULD SEE THAT! WE COULD ALL SEE that they were individual photos just pasted together! DUH!!! Are you part of the ‘highly educated whites’ that support Obama? Surely not! LOL!
You are too a follower. I’m sure you’re reason was like a lot of other people’s: “Hillary or Nobody”
We just had the old-fashioned idea that we wanted someone competent to be President, and that left Obama out. And you trolls exhibit just how incompetent he is — who in their right mind would hire people to come on a website, piss people off and make absolutely, irrevocably sure people won’t vote for him?
I support Hillary first, as Hillary is a patriotic American. Obama may not even be American. And he hangs out at a God Damn America Church. My neighbors also think he is a Muslim!!!
You are buying into the bigotry hype.Disagreeing with Obama on his policy positions or his qualifications is very legitimate. Opposing him because you think he is Muslim is not legitimate. In the first place, he is not Muslim. In the second place, it should not matter if he was. We are a diverse nation and we welcome any religion. There are many, many Muslim Americans who are being totally trashed in the course of this election.
Obama has a lot of electability problems. Religion should not be one of them.
grammar, “adam troll” - check the grammar.
I just received an e-mail from rep wexler. I replied thanks to mr wexler and the dnc i no longer belong to the democratic party after 48 years. Since the votes of 18 million no longer matter to the democratic party that party can go to hell.
